ARREST Of PARENTS
URGED BY MAYOR

YOUNGSTOWN, o. - Arrest Of
parents who permit children to re-
main on the streets after p. m.
is the latest wrinkle in Mayor
George l.. Oles' attempt to mod
ernize" Youngstown.
I'D rather arrest the parents
than the kids" Oles declared. Fa-
theirs and mothers who have so
little regard for their children that
they permit them to run the streets
at nights are far more guilty than
the children, in my opinion.
when we take children home
and find the parents away, sky
larking and having a good time,
we'll use the patrol wagon to bring
parents in. And we'll put them in
the lookup and keep them there
until morning"
1.-THE time to nip outcroppings of
criminalisn and bad citizenship y
Oles continued, "is in the short
pants stage. I was going to say,
the short skirt stage, too, but !
remember now that some ladies' or
advanced years wear skirts quite
as short as those worn by 10-year-
olds."
Ole first attracted notice when
he installed a cash register in city
hall. Since then he has enforced
strict curfew laws, terriorized boot
leggers and criminals and reorgan-
lied the police force.

Farmers Hold Cotton

JACKSON, Ca, May 3.-At the
present prices for staple, a million
dollars worth of cotton is being held
in the warehouses of Butts county
Practically all of the 1920 crop is
being held, and as this cotton is of
a good quality, the price will be bet
ter than the crop grown in 1921, the
latter crop being stained by the boil
weevil.
Cotton has been selling for 20 cents
per pound here for several days, but
there is little being offered. Farm
ers seem willing to hold for better
prices, particularly in view Of the
fact that the indications point to
small crop in this section this sea-
son. Once all the cotton is sold, it
will wipe out many old debts and put
new life into business of all kinds.

BLIND EX- SOLDIER
WINS REAL BATTLE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Here's
bit of free advertising for Bob
Cole, blinded ex-soldier, who has sue.
ceeded despite the loss of his eye
sight, and today is cheerful, pros
porous and happy. The United
States Veterans bureau has thought
enough of the triumph Of Bob
Cole to issue little story Of how
he came back through the darkness.
When the war came Mr.. Cole was
a resident of Kansas City. Today
he is proprietor Of the Evergreen
Victory Shop" over at the govern,
ment institution for the blind in
Maryland. The Veterans bureau
says this about him:
"His has been a real battle. But
by unflagging industry and ardent
application he has been able to so
equip himself, from the Vocational
training afforded by the United
States Veterans bureau, that he
now manages a profitable business
Of his own and is solely self-sup-
porting.
dob Cole-everyone calls him
Bob-was a salesman for the Van
Noy Interstate News agency prior
to his entrance into the army, and
a live, hustling, affab1e fellow. Then
the war came-and in 1919, while
serving as a sergeant at Fort
Riley, Kansas, his eyesight began
to fail. Optic atropy developed, and
on April %, 1919, he became totally
blind.
1.-THE following month he entered
the Red Cross Institute for the
Blind, at Baltimore, Md, as a voca-
tional student of the Veterans bu-
real. After learning to read, write
and manipulate a typewriter, he
took up an intensive course in store
management and craftsmanship. Rap
id progress was made and in Sep
TENDER, 1920, he was transferred to
the students store for practical ex
perience.
Determined to make go of
matters, despite his physical handi-
cap, Cole purchased the students
store three months after he had
entered it. Assuming immediate
charge, assisted by his wife, he ap-
piled himself eagerly to the task of
expanding the business and increas-
ing it's sales. By clever management
and close attention to minor detail
Bob Cole, since taking command,
has doubled the stores receipts and
repaid the money' borrowed to make
the original purchase. BY his cheer
full, friendly and even humorous dis
position he has made The Ever
green Victory shop as he calls it,
one of the most popular places in
Perryville, Md.
However, he still continued his
vocational work under the direction
of the Veterans bureau. Working
hard and carefully, he accomplish
ed much; a part Of his new ambi-
ton had been realized, and he was
spurred on to acquire as much
training as possible. The Veterans
bureau did not declare him rehabili-
tated until May, 1921 but when
final discharge came, the bureau
felt that with a business valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000 he was we'll
able, with the help of his wife, to
go forward on his own
"Cole is now 3S, and what he
has been able to do for himself is
possible for many other ex-service
men, similarly situated, to accom-
plish. His success may be credited
to an eager initiative, an admirable
fighting spirit, an undiminished
hope, and a desire to prove that
the man who invented life, started
a darn good thing!"

FIRE IN MEMPHIS
CAUSES HUGE LOSS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 30.-De-
fective electric wiring is held respon-
sible by fire department officials for
the fire which late yesterday dam
aged the upper floors of the Bry.
Block Mercantile company's de-
partment store, in the heart of the
retail district, causing a loss esti-
mated at $750,000, which, it is stat
ed, is covered by insurance.
The fire, originating in a frame
loft used for storage purposes on
the roof Of the big establishment,
and famed by a high wind, spread
with such rapidity, that the hun
dreds of girls employed made their
escape from the building with diff
Guilty. Several were overcome by
smoke and taken home in ambu-
lances.
At o'clock the blaze was declared
under control, the fire being con-
fined to the loft where it originated
and the upper stories. Stocks on
the lower floors, members Of the
firm stated, would probably be al
most q total loss, for the entire
building was flooded.

MACHINERY OF COURTS
MUST BE MODERNLZED
BIC TAX SUITS
WON BY ATLANTA

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The SUI
preme court today refused to review
a case which the Coca-Cola company
and others sought to bring to pre-
vent the city Of Atlanta, Ca, from
imposing tax upon it's stock owned
by residents of that city.
The courts Of Georgia held that
the city could compel the company
10 furnish list Of it's stockholders
residing within the city limits for
the purpose of imposing a tax upon
their stock.
The supreme court also refused to
review a case which the Empire Cot.
ton Oil company and it's officers
sought to bring to prevent the city
of Atlanta from imposing a tax upon
it's stock owned by residents Of the
city.
The Georgia courts held that the
city could compel the company to
furnish a list of it's stockholders re.
siding within the city limits and i'm.
posed a tax upon their stock not
withstanding the fact that the prop
erty of the company, all Of which is
located in Georgia, pays state, coun-
ty and city taxes.
The court also refused to review a
case which Thomas K. Glenn sought
to bring to prevent the city of At
lanta, Ca, from imposing tax upon
stock owned by him in the Atlantic
Steel company, a Delaware corpora
ton.
The Georgia courts held that the
city could collect a tax upon the
stock owned by it's residents, al
though the company had been incor-
porated in another state and taxes
had been paid upon it's real and per-
sonal property located in Georgia.
CITY'S CONTENTION UPHELD
BY STATE AND U. S. COURTS
City Attorney James L. Mayson,
on being informed Monday of the
decision Of the supreme court Of
the United States, said the suits
brought several months ago against
the Coca-Cola company, the Empire
Cotton Oil company and the Atlantic
Steel company were an effort on the
part Of the city to collect taxes from
resident stockholders in the compa,
MES and secure lists of such stock
holders.
The superior court and the Geor-
gia supreme court held that the city
had this right, he said, and the &C.
ton Of the supreme court of the
United States was the refusal of
that body to grant a certiorari CT
the cases from the Georgia court.
The issues in the three cases were
Identical, Mr.. Mayson said.
In the case Of the Atlantic Steel
company the Georgia courts held
that the city could collect taxes
from a resident of Atlanta even
though the stock owned was in

son said.
