Pioneering by motor has super
seeded the trail-blazing of early
days in the west. The picturesque
schooner travelling overland has
been supplanted by the gas steed,
a new era in which was begun with
the logging of the National Park
to-Park highway last fall. This
movement to connect the - ma
tional parks and many forests and
monuments is regional in perspec-
tive but national in scope. The
highway cuts the northwest corn
err of New Mexico and forms a di-
rect connection at Gallup for road

HUGE SUMS ARE
SPENT TO KEEP
AUTOS ON ROAD

Few people have any idea what
tremendous sum is being spent
annually to keep motor vehicles
going in this country alone. A
statistically inclined motorist has
discovered that all the money spent
by Americans this year for the up
keep of their cars would be suf-
ficient TO pay fifth of the nation
al debt.
The upkeep cost for the 1904
600 cars now in use will amount
to approximately $6,200,000, 600.
This is an average of about $7S5
for each car, considered a conser-
VatiVe estimate. Tires cost a billion
dollars, gasoline $1,555,O00,OO0;
garaging, storage and service, ST.
372, 100000, and accessories, ST.
273,O0Q000.

next they learned that they are to

MORE PAY, LESS
WORK, UNION PLAN
Railrod Leader Makes Bitter
Attack on Workers. Gen.
Atterbury Declares Roads
Should Be Allowed to Deal
individually With Their
Men. Grilled Before Labor
Board.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Brig. Gen.
w. w. Atterbury, vice president of
the Pennsylvania railroad and former
chairman of the Association of Rail-
way Executives, took an emphatic
stand against national agreements
which her termed "prolifc of misun-
derstandings" in a heated all day
cross-examination before the railway
labor board today.
Questioning by Frank P. Walsh,
counsel for the unions, brought vig-
orous replies from Gen. Atterbury
and time and time again the witness
replied by cross questioning his in
terogator. Charges that the union
leaders did not really represent the
employees and that national rules
were used to procure employment for
more men and extract money from
the railroads on technicalities were
hurled across the table as the general
took the stand against all rules of
national application. -
The gist of Gen. Atterbury's tes-
timony today may be summarized
thus:
Rules should be negotiated be-
tween officials of the roads and their
own employees, across the conference
table, "like game of poker"
The eight hour day could not be
universally applied to all employees,
especially train service men, "be-
cause the Lord didn't build the rail-
roads that way"
The establishment Of the hourly
basis of shop work has destroyed the
energy and initiative of shop employ
es and abolition of piece work would
be the most dreadful thing that
could happen to railroad employees.
National rules constituted a dog
collar around the necks of the rail-
roads, which would be free to nego-
tiate their own rules with their own
employees, "the minute the board cuts
the dog collar"
Gen. Atterbury was referring to,
"a cartoon from labor paper repre-
senting national agreements as a col
lar on a dog labeled railroads." and
led by labor. Two charges against
union officials were laid down by the
general in the climax of the days
testimony. He declared that al
though the national agreements had
the objects of employing more men
he was "better friend of my men
than any of the union men at this
table" The declaration brought
from Mr.. Walsh question whether
Mr.. Atterbury represented section
of the roads.
''No, and you do not" Gen. After
bury replied. "Those men are not
represented here"

FAMOUS PLAYERS
HAVE PART in
NEWEST FILM
Clarine Seym ore, Richard
Barthelmess, Creightor
Hale, Geo. MacQuarrie, An
ders Randolph And Others
In Cast

New faces appear among the play
ers in D. w. Griffith's latest First Ma
tional attraction, "The Idol Dancer"
now appearing at the Grand Theatre.
Richard Barthelmess, the young
man whom Griffith developed in a few
months into one of the screens most
effective players, appears as the
Beachcomber, role demanding dra-
matte resources of the distinctive ma
ture Barthelmess possesses. Hand
some, defiant, determined to lear q
life into which he has drifted, and
then changed in one great experience,
the beachcomber is another character
Barthelmess will add to the memor-
able individuals on the screen.
Clarine Seymore, who has taken
Griffith productions, plays the part of
a half French, half Javanesc beauty,
slender, impulsive, tempestuous with
the vividness of the tropics. She
dresses like the natives but is not of
them, and her friendship with the
beachcomber and the New England
youth develops into the perplexity of
growing love for one or the other.
Miss Seymore presents a lovable
character, different in conception and
fascinating in character.
Hale in Big Part
Creighton Hale, new to Griffith
productions, appears as the New Eng
land boy who goes to the tropics to
visit his missionary uncle and regain
his health, if possible. Mr.. Hale has
carried important roles in various
films, and under the direction of Grif-
fifth, reveals acting ability of a high
capacity.
George MacQuarrie plays the part
of the Missionary, a stern, hkeable
Scotchman, intense in his efforts, in
tolerant of the casual Indifference to
clothes expressed by the natives. But
his personal bravery stands the high
est test and he is fighter as well as
a minister.
Anders Randolph, formerly the
champion broadswordsman of Amer
lea, and an artist of fine ability as
well with oils appears as the Black
birder, who corrupts tribe of head
hunters and makes them serve him as
slaves. A powerful role is given Mr..
Randolph, and he handles it with con-
vincing energy and skill.
s Few productions have offered so
many vivid characters as does "The
Idol Dancer" Others in the cast
are Florence Short, as the native girl
who is uncertain whether she shall
marry the native minister with the
wonderful frock coat, or the head
hunter chieftan; Porter Strong as the
native minister; Walter James as the
cannibal chief; Kate Bruce as the
missionary's wife, and company of
sixty in lesser roles.

Who Told on Stand of Many
Years With the Oklahoma
Politician

ARDMORE, Okla, March IT,
Clara Smith Hamon late today was
acquitted of a charge of having mur-
dered Jake l.. Hamon, Republican
natioNal committeeman from Okla
homa, and millionaire railroad and
oil promoter.
The jury was given the case at
4:30 p. M, and returned to the
courtroom 40 minutes later. B. F.
c. Laughridge, 73-year-old foreman,
said only one ballot was taken, Sc
'cret one, confirmed by a rising vote.
Clara. Hamon obtained the infor-
nation fully seven minutes before the
verdict was rendered in open court
and sat, surrounded by members of
her family, half smiling, half afraid
to believe the mods of assurance that
were bent toward her.
When Judge Thomas w. Cham
pion mounted the bench and received
an affirmative response to his ques-
ton: Gentlemen, have you reached
verdict?" her eyes followed in
tently the motions of the bailiff as he
received the verdict from Mr.. Laugh
ridge, walked across the courtroom
and handed it to the clerk, who read
it in nervous, falsetto voice.
Weeping in Unanimity
Clara Hamon gasped audibly in the
tensely silent courtroom, dropped
forward in her seat, only to be seized
from behind by her younger brother,
Jimmy" squeezed violently and
kissed on the left cheek. Tears
came to her eyes and the other
members of her family cried with her
as she crossed to the standing jurors
who had passed judgment on her,
and haltingly thanked them for their
verdict.
She came to the press room to
thank the newspaper workers, hang
ing on the arm of Sheriff Buck Gar
rett and her brother, and with tears
streaming down her face, said:
II am the happiest woman in the
world"

JACKSON NEGRO WOULD
NAME POSTMASTERS

JACKSON, Miss, March 20.--
Some local excitement has been a.
reused in Republican circles over the
announcement that Perry Howard,
local negro attorney and Republican
politician, is endeavoring to secure
control of a part of tha patronage of
this state. 1t is stated that Howard
wants to name the postmaster in
Jackson and several other important
plums. Howard was leader of the
delegation which failed to get seats in
the national convention, but later
took the stump for Harding and made
speeches in several states.
He has the reputation of being a
conservative and progressive negro
Republican who has heretofore always
advocated harmony and good will be-
tween the races

HEALTH CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING WELL
DR.. w. S. Leathers Issues a
Statement in Regard to This
Work--FavcrabIe Mention
of Yalobusha County.

The public health campaign in
Yalobusha county is progressing up
s!qL 's!ssq GIo4oBJs!les HIsA no
work has been prosecuted under the
direction of DR.. w. d. Beacham who
Is IN active charge of the health unit
in this county. The campaign began
during the month of September.
1920, and during the past months 90
lectures have been delivered through
out the county and 1876 talks to
families have been made and coupled
with this, 1892 pieces of health litera-
ture have been distributed, said DR..
w. S. Leathers in referring to this
work.
Much emphasis has been placed on
the inspection of schools and the
medical examination of school chill
dren. Twenty-Five schools have been
visited and 1640 children examined
with large percentage showing pre-
ventable and correctible defects.
The people of Tillatobia provided
ways and means of correcting the de-
fects of many of the children in that
particular community and likewise
did the public spirited citizens of
Coffeeville. About 80 children have
been operated on for the removal of
adenoids and tonsils, and 1876 chill
dren have received treatment for de-
fective vision. Considerable atten-
ton has also been given to locating
tubercular cases and infections from
malaria parasites. 1t is felt that the
medical examination of school chill
dren is one of the most important
phases of public health work, as it
points out the defective children and
enables communities to improvise
ways and means of getting these de-
fects corrected.
A house to house survey has been
made with an inspection of 1875
homes. The survey is for the pur-
pose Of determining conditions which
make for the presence of typhoid
fever, hookworm disease, and other
intestinal troubles, and to get people
TO institute necessary measures for
the prevention and control of these
diseases. All persons found infected
with hookworm diseases are being
treated, as has been the custom in all
counties which have been campaign
ed in the prevention and control of
hookworm. It is most gratifying to
note that the people of Yalobusha
county have become increasingly
more interested and have given more
active cooperation from month to
month in this important work.

Income and Profits Figures Tota
About 100000

WASHINGTON, March 2I.-Ap-
proximately 100000, 900 was col
lected by the government in income
and profits taxes up to last Saturday
night, according to reports today to
the treasury. This amount is $780,
100000 in excess of the estimate
made by Secretary Mellon for the
March 10 return and was the limit
expected by officials in view of
changed conditions in the country.
About $3.50, 100000 was collected by
the government for the same quar-
ter year ago, but the showing so
far was regarded as excellent for this
quarter. Complete reports on the
amount collected will not be avail
able for several days because of de-
lays in hearing from outlying dis
tricts.
