If it is of any comfort to the read
ers of this column am of the opinion
that the wave of anti-Semitism in
this country which rose to perilous
heights the latter part Of last year
and which maintained it's position un-
til the early part of this year is grad
ually receding. How do I know this !?
There are some things that we can
not measure with a foot rule but
careful observation of every day oc-
currences, the lessened activity of GER
tain inimical forces, the obvious ne
cessity for labored effort among GER
tain elements to stimulate prejudice,
and the gradual reassertion of the
common sense of the nation all point
to a much more comfortable situa-
ton for the Jew. The attitude of the
daily press of the nation, as we'll as
that of the representative weeklies
and the monthly magazines, on the
question of prejudice against the Jew,
has warned promoters of such anti
Jewish movements that public opinion
in this country will not tolerate them.
Some newspapers express surprise
that Henry Ford would attempt to
bride an officer arresting him for
speeding to avoid appearing in court.
Why should we be surprised at man
doing that when he has done a whole
lot worse by bribing men to tap wires
running to the White House in order
to listen in on tabled conversations
that might occur between Justice
Brandeis and the President? Why
be surprised at anything that man of
the ethics of Ford would do? He has
stopped about as low in digging re-
fuse out of garbage cans that any
man presumably decent could possibly
do? This country will some day
realize just what sort of an individual
this very much self-advertised egotist
is and then they will place him in the
class that he belongs: a mechanic
whose money has gone to his head.
Balfour Einstein, Balfour Cohen,
Balfour Winston Churchill Levy, Bal
four Adler, Balfour Rabinowitz, these
will soon be the best known names
among the very young set in Jerusa-
lem. Exactly as so many parents in
this country name their infants after
the President so are Jewish families
in Palestine naming their newly born
after the Earl Of Balfour, who has
been so much a factor in enabling
them to settle in Palestine.

Palestine immigration Only Half in
June

Jerusalem q. C. B.)-Only 474
Jewish immigrants entered Palestine
during June, figures published by the
Zionist Executive show. This repre-
sents considerable decrease, the
average number during recent months
having been about 900 month.
The decline is explained by the I'M
employment which prevailed during
June, compelling the Zionist authori-
ties to issue only half the number of
certificates allotted for each month.

Three we'll known books were sup
pressed last week, but I am not going
to give their names fearing that the
local book stores would be mobbed on
Monday morning with eager custom
ers. AS a result of this it has been
suggested that the authors select a
censor or some pooh bah of respect
ability as in the case of base ball,
movies, and now the spoken drama
with A. Thomas as head. The publish
ers, that is, some Of them, have agreed
to cooperate with some we'll known
author or critic who shall say wheth-
er book is fit to be published from
a moral standpoint. I am utterly
opposed to any one man, such as
John Sumner, for example, to estab-
fishing the standard of any books
morals. There are books being circu-
lated today that ought to be sup
pressed and many that ought to be
circulating that have been suppressed.
We are being "mothered" to death.
It's about time we stopped being
"petted"-and began to show some
signs of being old enough to take care

ATLANTA, March 1.-THE auto

charges of immortality by the DeKalb
county grand jury, which has just in
vestigated this instrument of crime.
The advent of the automobile has
opened new and grave dangers to
the moral purity of our young peo-

clared, and recommended that moth
ers refuse to permit their daughters
to go on Joy rides" unchaperoned.
Numbers of young. lives are wreck
ed or started on the road to ruin
they said.
Feminine styles of dress did not es-
cape the scathing denunciation of the
grand jury. ''As serious and think
ing men," said the jury, I'VE de-
plore what we consider indiscreet,
suggestive and highly improper ten
dencies in the style Df female dress,
and give it as our opinion that the
present-day styles encourage lax
thinking, if not actual crime. Wo-
men voters were urged to bring this
criminal to justice, by advocating
more conservative styles of dress.

CITY PREPARES
TOPUSH PAVING
Program For Year To Be Under
taken At Next Meeting Of
Council

City Engineer Wheatley was in
structed by the city council last night
to have ready for the next meeting
two weeks hence details of the paw
ing projects in the city now pending
that on East Church street from
from the present paving to Horne;
that on West Church from Jackson
to Hampton, and that on West Col
lege street, all of which poriects
have been passed up by the council
to be done on the basis of the prop
erty owners furnishing the materials
and the city doing all the work. At
that time, it was agreed, the city's
paving program for the year will be
agreed upon.
1t was stated that the property
owners on West Church street are
clamoring for paving to be started
there, and W. E. Mitchell, one of the
property owners, has agreed to fl
nance the project, it was announced.
Several council spoke in favor of get
ting this project under way at once,
but it was indicated without definite
ly becoming matter of record that
the projects will take their turn, the
East Church street project, which
was interrupted last fall, being fin
ished first, then the COLLEGE street
project taken next if the property
owners desire, it having precedence
over West Church in order Of pas
sage.
j. T. Warren, chairman of the fl
nance committee since January /.
stated that he would recommend no
further projects except on a basis of
the property owners paying the whole
cost. 1t was pointed out that a
charter change would be required to
effect such arrangements, and he was
instructed to proceed developing the
changes needed to make this altera-
ton in the paving plan. He is un-
derstood to favor the plan popular in
other states whereby paving bonds
are issued by the paving districts
giving the property owners ten years
In annual instalments in which to
pay for the paving done.

CASCOMP ANY
CALLSEOR RATE
OF $3.50 HERE
Contends To Commission At
Hearing That This Is Required
To Earn 8 Per Cent

The matter of reducing the gas
rate in Americus and other cities over
Georgia was taken under advisement
by the Georgia Railroad commission
at the conclusion Of its hearing in
Atlanta, without any intimation of
what decisions might be expected.
The hearings were on citations to the
companies to show cause why their
rates should not be reduced. The,
Atlanta Georgian tells of the hearing
Thursday morning of the Americus
Lighting company as follows:
"The rule against the Americus
gas company was heard Thursday
mroning prior to the Augusta case.
w. A Dodson, former state senator,
and Price Webster appearedSas atters
neys for the Americas company.
There was no representative of ,4the
Americus consumers.
'The Americus company claimed a
return of 1928 per thousand cubic
feet in 1921, of which amount 81
cents was derived from resiGEes,
leaving a return of SLOT from gas
production, with an operating cost
Of $2.11. To derive an per cent re-
turn the company contended that the
Americas rate should be $3.50. There
are $50 consumers.
Commissioner Perry brought out
the fact by questions that the Ameri-
Gus company carried over a large
supply of coal on which costs averag-
ing around SO per ton had been fig
c.red, whereas the company now has
contract for coal expiring June /
at So per ton. Mr. Perry also asked
for figures on total production and
losses in distribution.
Chairman Gambler inquired as to
the amount Of coal the company has
on hand, and was informed that
there are 800 tons, enough to last
two months. The average cost Of
this coal was given at 1923.
"The rate asked by the Americus
company was the highest yet sug-
gested to the beard. Athens had
asked for rate of $2.53 instead Of
its present rate of $1.90."

NEW LIQUOR RULING
is MADE IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, March II. - A new
liquor rulihg~has been made by Judge
Andy Calhoun. who held that liquor
found in place of business when
the proprietor is absent doesn't make
the proprietor liable, unless addi-
tional evidence to show that he is the
actual owner of the liquor is intro
duced. In so ruling Judge Calhoun
dismissed the case against S. G. Cob
en-, drug store proprietor here.
Cohen's place of business was en-
tered some time ago while he was
absent, it was said, one-half pint of
hquCr being found. No additional
evidence to show that the liquor be-
longed to Cohen was introduced at
the trial, Judge Calhoun, therefore,
ruled that the case was incomplete
and dismissed it.
