steep and icy road they were swift
enough to distance the wind, and un-
controlled by bit and bride, they could
not be stopped before reaching the
foot of the incline. There was thus
enough of adventure in their trips to
furnish the tingling excitement that
kept out the winter cold. The good
natured rivalry, too, gave interest to
the sport.
This year there was a special reason
for the gathering, for Tom Atkins,
having received a Christmas present
Of sled of the latest style and named
1.-THE King of the HILL" had been
bOasting that the title was just one
and arousing all the determination
that the others had to prove him
wrong. The Dart" the Racer" the
"Dauntless," the Peerless" and
others as glorious were eager to beat
The first race was inconclusive, for
Atkins got false start and tipped his
load over into a snow bank. The Sec
ond and the third races gave the lau-
rels to the Dart and the Peerless"
respectively, and left Atkins heart in
his boots; but the fourth attempt end
ed with 1.-THE King Of the Hill' rod
ahead and with its owners chin pro-
tuberant and uplifted. Then time went
by with varying fortunes until the
concluding and deciding contest. 1t
was agreed that the winner of this
final should be crowned the king Of
the hill indeed, with none to dispute
his right.
Amid the hubbub Of these last ar
rangementS no one had heard the dis
tant whistle of "The Flyer" as the
night express for Boston was called,
and the competing sleds dashed away
down the long descent without a
thought of danger, nor, until half way
down, did any danger appear, but then
the locomotives headlight flashed
around the curve and upon the cross
ing, now but q short distance away,
with a baleful and threatening glare.
The other sleds, somewhat In the
rear, were steered into the roadside
snow or left to take care of them
selves as their riders rolled off, but
"The King Of the Hill" kept on, In
seeming ignorance Of the imminent
collision. Not until the warning blasts
of the engine whistle seemed to
startle him into action did Atkins
move to save himself and his load.
Then, with wrench of his steering
gear and a sturdy leg-sweep, he
brought his sled about, throwing 1t
over upon It's side and upon its fright
ened load as the train swept by, al
most brushing them on its way.
1t was what the barber called "a
close shave" and what Atkins called
"as good as a mi!e," but the boys
called 1t a victory and rode Atkins
home on "The King Of the Hill' with
their full Endorsement Of the title.
The old hill Is still there. 1t glitters
yet in Christmas moonlights. But the
boys and girls of the bobsled time
have grown old, the later generation
has new toys, and the glorious fun Of
Slater's Hill Is but a memory. A
pleasant memory it Is, though and
that is a brave, bright spot in it that
registers the night when Tom Atkins
got double score in beating both the
racers and the train on his King af

The
King Of the Hill
BY Christopher G. Hazard
(@, 1922, Western Newspaper Union

20, 1922, Western Newspaper Union)
THE long hill glistened in the Win
- ter moonlight like frosted cake.
The road that ran down it like
silvered ribbon, reaching across the
railroad track and on through the val
ley, lost itself in a shimmering haze
Of snowy whiteness. The wind, as If
afraid of awakening the sleeping
town, had hushed itself into stiffness,
waiting along the way and under the
shadows of the quiet trees for the sig
nal of dawn. The scene was an invita-
tion to a sport now largely displaced
by rushing motor cars, but then one OF
the chief delights Of the Christmas
season. The bobsled Of those days
and nights was the pride of owners
and the prize winner Of competitions.
The annals of the Slater Hill race
course registered triumphs as real and
momentous as those Of any race track.
The moon had watched with an ex-
pectant eye until ten of the clock and
was about to retire under passing
cloud in disappointment, when the
clamor and shouting Of an approach
ing crowd renewed its spirit. From
side street they came, merry lads and
lasses, with those of later years who
had not forgotten how to be young.
Soon the head Of the hill was crowded
with competitors and the air rang
with the bustling preparations for the
first race.
The sleds Of that time were NO or
dinary affairs. Large enough to hold
from four to six passengers, they re-
joiced in significant titles and all the
beauty and comfort that their makers
art could put into shape, paint and
upholstery. When loaded and on a

CONGRESSMAN ARE AFRAID

their hour of need"
The closing Of congress was a de-.
cidedly solemn occasion. Already
the printing presses are busy grind
ing out praise Of the new tariff bill
for the consumption of the sovereign
voters, but the congressman don't
appear to be as sanguine as they
sound.
The adjournment of the house was
solemn for it is fully realized that
many Of the members now in it are
facing almost certain defeat at the
polls. The Republicans are fully
prepared for a serious cut in their
majority, but claim they will retain
control by safe figures, The land
slide or earthquake, or whatever you
choose to call what happened in
1920, swept many a Republican into
the house of representatives from
districts normally regarded as Demo
cratic. It is admitted that most of
these districts will get back to
'normalcy" on the seventh of next
November, and, therefore, many Re-
publican faces will be missing when
the next congress assemblies.
The Tariff Issue
While the present congress is ex-
pected to be judged almost wholly
by the tariff law signed by the
president on Thursday, and while
that tariff is being proclaimed today
as the great achievement of the ses-
sion which began in April, 1921, and
is just now ended, there really was
no plank in the Republican platform
of 1920 which promised such dras.
tic tariff legislation. It - was Mr.
Harding, in his campaign speeches,
who really pledged the party to tar
if legislation and it is quite natural
that he should lead the chorus Of
Republican praise which is being
broadcast from Washington in ev.
cry direction as the congressional
campaigns get under way.
The Republican platform ex-
pressed some misgivings as to
should be made Immediately, be-
cause Of the involved condition Of
world affairs. President Harding
felt no such misgivings and when
he called congress into special ses
sion a month after his Inauguration
he urged the tariff upon them as one
of the real needs of the nation.
The tariff fight in the present
campaign must be largely an aca-
demic one, for the bill will not have
been law long enough to prove the
merits of it's protagonists or the de.
merits Of it's antagonists. The latter
are waging a hard fight and the Re
publicans are faced with a defensive
issue.
A defensive issue is not the most
happy one to have in a campaign at
a time when public mood generally
sto vote against something or some.

DOWNTOWN ATLANTA
is VISITED SATURDAY
BY DISASTROUS FIRE
Big Blaze RACES for Three
Hours in Heart Of Retail
Business District; Heavy
nee -.
BY ERNEST ROGERS

WSB, The Journals radio broad
casting station, flashed the news. Sat
urday night to thousands Of listen
ers of the "million-dollar" fire that
swept the heart of the city's finan-
Cial district, late Saturday night and
early Sunday morning.
Prompt and efficient work by the
Atlanta fire department cut short
the career of a blaze that threatened
the business district, bounded by
Whitehall, Alabama and Broad
streets and the railroad tracks to
the north, with destruction.
Monday, plans already had 'been
set on foot to replace the burned
structures and it was the prediction
of~those in touch with the real es-
tate situation that handsome build
ings would replace those damaged.
Estimates of damage between
S750,000 and 100000 were made by
city construction officials, and Chief
w. B. Cody, of the fire department,
said a conservative estimate would
be "a little less than $1,000,0D0."
Listeners to The Journals 1915
program Saturday night were star
tied to have delightful concert of
vocal and instrumental music inter
rupted by the announcement that
the giant blaze was raging less than
two blocks from the radio station.
The fire was first sighted by Wis
itors in The Journals radio audito-
rum, on the fifth floor of The Jour
nal building, and the information
was communicated to Lambdin Kay,
The Journals announcer and direc-
tor of radio programs.
He Immediately interrupted his
program to tell his unseen auditors
Of the fire and from time to time
gave bulletins on its progress. The
program was not discontinued, how
ever, and the artists continued with
their numbers while the glare from
the blaze Redeemed the windows OF
the studio.
No casualties were reported al
though the Grady ohspital had three
ambulances in the fire zone ready
to take care of any one who might
be injured. A Gordon of policemen
also was thrown around the doomed
area and effectively prevented any
looting from unprotected stores.
Those buildings sustaining the
most severe damage are LIN.
