PURCELL TALKS ON
/. TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Tells OF His Experiences
With Auto Drivers On Sat-
urday Evening

Probation Officer Purcell, acting as
traffic officer at the south side of the
square, stated Monday that more ped
estrians and automobiles were NOV
ing Saturday night than at any other
time since he has been acting as traf
fic officer.
After his experience Saturday night,
Officer Purcell states that two traf-
fic men should be stationed at the
south side Of the square. He states
that it is almost impossible for one
man to direct the traffic of auto
mobiles come around the square from
the west side and those coming up
South Main street.
Probation Officer Purcell stated this
morning that as a rule automobile
drivers are pleasant and polite, obey
the given signal and thank the offic-
or, but on the other hand there are
those who think everyone should get
out of their way when they sound

near resulting Saturday night due to
drivers of this sort. Among them were
the following:
A woman was attempting to cross
with baby buggy. Officer Purcell
gave the signal for the automobllist
to stop. He failed to heed the signal
and drove on so that his front wheels
touched the baby buggy. When ques-
toned he said he did not see the traf-
flc officer.
Another man was indignant when
stopped by the traffic officer. Oct
out OF the way" he said, what bust
ness have you to stop me?"
Three men went past the traffic Of
flcer In Ford SO fast that Mr.. Pur.
cell was unable to see the license tag.
He ordered the men to stop, but they
kept on going. One Of the tenders OF
the machine struck Mr.. Purcell and
the men leaned out Of the machine
and laughed.
IAN drivers are not like these" said
Mr.. Purcell, "but these are examples
OF few who cause the serious acci-
dents
Mr.. Purcell also called attention to
the dangerous practice of persons
crossing the street between the
square and Vine street. He said that
they dart out between automobiles
and jay walk across the street. Sew
| eral persons came near being run
down Saturday night, Mr. Purcell said.
Still another dangerous practice is
children crossing the public square on
roller skates. Mr.. Purcell declared

Idle Fleet Is
Big Loss To u. S.

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-The Uni
ted States destroyer fleet in Pa
cific waters is rapidly rotting away
from lack of adequate attention, ma
val officers declare.
The destroyers anchored in the Pa
ciGc. for the most part at San Diego
deteriOated at least S2O,0OO,OOO IN
the past twelve months and viii de.
teriorate more rapidly than that dur-
ing the coming twelve months if they
are not ordered properly conditioned
and manned, it is stated by officers
who aturally refused to be quoted.
Many of the destroyers which arc
going to pieces in this manner are
Uncle Sans newest vessels, cons
tracted for toward the end Of the
war, which have only recently been
nut i'm commission and accepted by
the government. and which nave not
steamed 1000 miles.
There are now declared to be in
the neighborhood of 80 destroyers
decommissioned and dashed together
in lonely groups at the government
docks near San Diego.
Theoretically. these deStrOyers are
supposed to be ready 20 have crew,
nut aboard them for sea service at
a moments notice. Officers point out,
however, that to keep these destroy
erS from rotting, it is necessary to
drydcck them at least twice a year.
and TO put full crews aboard them
for at least three months a year to
do the necessary work. They should
then have at least six weeks, or pre-
ferably more of active service at sea,
This is a physical impossibility at
the present time, naval officers say,
rs only two full SqUadrcns of de-
StroyerS are on active duty at San
Diego and even these have only 80
per cent Of full crews
Approximately seventy deStroyers
have been decommiSSioned in the
past eight months, and more are
being decommissioned daily
Because Of their construction, de
stroyers are said to be deterioratc
faster than any other type of vessel.
The investment in the phantom
sQuadrons rotting at San Diego is
said to be more than $125,000000.

New York. Nov. 2O.-What might
he termed an "All-Star" bill has open
ed the METROPOLITAN Opera Company s
1929 season here when Jeritzaa;

The METROPOLITAN opens its season
with the loss of one of its greatest
drawing cards. Geraldine Farrar,
who has transferred her affections to

GalIi-Curci, Rufio and the Russian,
Chaliapin scheduled for more numer--
Gus appearances, it is not expected
that the loss will be felt IN the poN

Twenty new principals have been
added to the roster this year, many

consist of recruits from German op-
era houses. OneAmerican artist VINO

THE STONE MOUNTAIN
PROJECT

Of the stupendous Confederate
memorial project centering about
Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, Gut
ION Borglum, the sculptor who IS d.
recting the work, declares that the
people of the world cannot vlsual-
lie the magnitude of this undertaking
II is. in fact, doubtful if any large
number OF persons even in the South
have approached Installation OF the
memorial that is being attempted. Mf.
Rorglum's own estimate OF It's slg-
nificance-and acquaintance with the
broad details of the undertaking must
lead to concurrence in 'That he says
is found in the following words:
1T will become one Of the worlds
greatest classics. 1t will be greater
Imam the Lion Of Lucerne, and the sew
er+b wonder of the world, the Coios-
sus of Rhodes. and VIII take its place
among the marvels OF the universe.
n shall live IS long as time Itself to
perpetuate the memory OF those STIR
zinc davs of the War Between the
States. / am happy and proud to
have part in the undertaking, and
intend to make it my lifo's work"
An article by Carl Taylor in the
baltimore Sun thus summarizes the
main features OF the project: Eight
wears will be required to complete the
memorial, which includes, besides the
carving on the mountainslde, a sew
eral hundred acre park at the base;
an open-air theatre patterned after
tha Coliseum OF ancient Rome and
capable of seating 10000 people;
museum followed out of the noun
tain wherein will be deposited treas
ires OF the war and which Will De
dedicated TO the Daughters OF the
Confedracy.'
Upon the "unscalable" size OF this
great granite pile, Borglum and other
culptors-whose services have been
volunteered in their enthusiasm for
share i'm the amazing undertaking.
Will carve, in heroic proportions,
oraphie story of the Confedracy, the
Iigures Of It's foremost men, It's bat
ties, its glorios and its traged.ess-
"all the pomp and circumstance OF a
nation at war" Indicative OF the
scale upon which the tremendous spec
tacle Will be cast, it is stated that the
.arved memorial will extend almost a
mile across the perpendicular face OF
the mountain. The completed figure
Of General Lee mounted upon his
charger, it is said, will be thirty feet
III height.
The proposal for ar immense open
air theater has received impetus 1rom
the discovery that the mountain IT
self possesses astonishing properties
rs sounding board Tests made
nv singers have proved that the voice
on one standing at the mountain base
will carry with almost incredible
force and clarity. Miss Marie Tiff
fany. it is related, sang there as an eX-
pertinent, land listeners stationed as
Tar away as q mile heard her distinct
IL. while within u distance of 600
wards she seemed to be but few feet
away, so well did the mountain send
forth her voice"
Altogether, the Stone Mountain
Project gives every promise of be
coming, as Mr.. Borglum says, zone
OF the m&lveis OF the universe. -

THE NEW BOARD

The City Council has Just made
evident another piece OF excellent
Judgment i'm the selection or the
new school board which is to as.
sume office the first Of December.
1t has elected to these positions
people prominent in the City's bus
mess lie and progreSSives. Had
they searched the city Tor months,
it is our belief, they could have
found no more capable combine
ton to serve ON this extremely I'M
portant beard than the one elected
today.
Mrs. {. W. Wattles. Urban s.
Lambert, Chester \. Gwinn, Miss
Mary Lindsey, Gardner l.. Booths
and Edward l.. LaWlcr will make
ali excellent team.
The suggestion made by The
Gazette editorially some time ago
to the effect that the city be given
an additional ward and then have
a school board member from each
ward we still believe to be a good
one and we hope that the council
will give it further attention
With the ladies holding one
third OF the power OF this school
board that is not SO large as to be
cumbersome in its actions, it is
safe TO say that the children OF the
city will receive the best possible
in the way OF schools.
