COURTS ASKED TO FORCE A., B. & A. TO PAY BACK TAXES
State Of Georgia Claims Sum Of $50,450 In Delinquent
 DueS-Early Action

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 6.-An early decision by Judge John H. Sibley' United States district court, on the motion by the state of Georgia that the Atlanta. Birmingham and Allan tic Railway company be compelled to pay back taxes, is expected by Attorney General George M. Napler' 1t was announced tonight.
 The motion which was filed today asked that the court issue an order that the taxes, which are said to amount to approximately s50,46O ano interest be paid, or, in default of said payment within a reasonably brief time, that the said road be sold ana all taxes due to the state and the various counties and municipalities traversed by said road be paid
 A period of three years is allowed in the delinquent taxes, the motion stated A small portion of the taxes due for the year 1922 has been paid adding that the state has been len lent in pressing it's claim because the railroad has been in the hands Of a receiver and because Judge Sibley expressed the opinion that sale of the property might result in it being "junked."
 Tt appears to the common people that they are unjustly taxed, While foreign capital which built and Is supporting said railway company is practically escaping taxation" the motion stated, "and they are becom- ing impatient and irritated because of the injustice to them"

BANKERS IDEASON EUROPEAN RELIEF
 ARE BOLDLY MET
Suggestion That America Cancel Part Of War Debts
 Declared Impossible
By RAYMOND CHAPTER L. u rnnn.-


 WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-Ideas of the American Bankers association on how to help Europe have met with a frosty reception at the White House. At the Atlantic City convention of the Bankers association resolutions were adopted recommending that the United States take up with Great Britain and France the question of adjusting the inter-allied debt in re- lation to the reparations situation. Without saying so, the bankers ap- parently want Coolidge to fall in with the suggestion of Lord Balfour that America cancel part of the war debts of the allies so that they can in turn let Germany off of that amount of reparations.
 On behalf of President Coolidge, it was stated emphatically at the White cannot be entertained. President Coolidge has already said that the debt cannot be cancelled though he Is willing to give terms and is not anxious to press European debtors. This was taken to indicate that some of the weaker countries may get con siderably better terms than Britain.
 This statement served to clear the air because a similar resolution by the bankers year ago created gem eral uncertainty regarding the gov ernment policy until the debt funding commission negotiated the British settlement, proving that terms of payment could be agreed upon.
 The arrival of Lloyd George at New York was another incident which drew attention here to the European situation. His indorsement of the Hughes plan for a commission to fix Germany's ability to pay brings back into view an almost forgotten plan There is little expectation here that France will withdraw her opposi- tion to the Hughes plan and as the suggestion contemplated unanimous agreement among the allied powers and Germany, that would seem tc preclude any progress in that direc-

 For more than three weeks the ami mal had raided flocks and spread terror throughout the countryside. \ No obstacle seemed to trouble the

PSYCHOLOGIST
 CALLS "FLIRT"
 UNINTELLIGENT
Professor George Leonard Deals Stinging Rebuke to Certain
 Type of Woman.

What causes a certain type woman, other than the fapper type, to f1irt recklessly with every man she meets This question was put to Professor George Leonard, noted psychologist, and his answer is illuminating.
 "The firt is rather uninte1ligent woman to whom physical attractive ness is the prime consideration of life. She has been trained from infancy to consider a woman's career as success full only when she has a number of men wild about her, giving her flow CTS, taking her to theatres and cafes, and in other ways showing their en- thralldom.
 Having never acquired any market value in the business or professional world, she feels she must constantly test her powers and reassure herself by leading on all sorts and conditions of men, for whom, in the majority of cases, she hasn't the slightest fancy.
 ITO the firt the main thing is that she can read in a mans eyes the yer dict: I am still attractive.' Happily with the entrance of women into busi- ness, commercial and artistic fields of endeavor this type woman IS passing and within a generation will be rela- lively uncommon" .-
 Professor Leonard voiced this opin- ion after having witnessed a private showing of "The Flirt," the Univer- sal-Jewel masterpiece from Booth Tarkington's story, which comes to the Rialto Theatre on Monday for an engagement of all next week.
 Eileen Percy, noted beauty, DOT trays the role of one of these eternal hirts, and her actions all through the statements of Professor Leonard. The entire cast for this production was chosen with the greatest care and 1n- cludes some of the best known play CTS on the screen today.

study the question with view to the preparation of a practical and work able plan. But the convention did not commit the union to any particu- lar form or plan of naturalization. Unfortunately, the plan proposed by the committee was prematurely made public at a radical meeting Tn New Y ork, and this fact has caused the public to believe that the United Mine Workers of America Is committed to the particular plan set out in the report.
 "The fact is, the outline submitted by the committee was merely tenta- tive proposition and the committee has not claimed that is definite dec laration by the union. We are in formed that it was, in part, prepared for the committee by some we'll known New York radicals who have no connection whatever with the coal mining industry. While the report may, perhaps, represent the views of these Greenwich Village par1or coal miners, the public should not accept 1t as the proposal of the United Mine Workers of America unless and until 1t has been officially affirmed and adopted by the national convention which will be held next January"

MINE. NATIONALIZATIO PLAN IS NOT APPROVED BY UNION,
 ELLIS SEARLES POINTS OUT

New York, Feb. o-The coal mine naturalization program recently made public here has not been adopt ed by the United Mine Workers and Is not the unions program, according to statement on the subject issued here by Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal MT Searles said:
 There appears to be misunder- standing on the part of the newspa- pers and the public in regard to the plan for the naturalization Of coal mines which was announced at a re- cent meeting held in New York Ap- parently, there. Is a general under stending that plan is in fact the plan of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica. This is not correct.
 "The plan as set forth at that meet ing by a committee of the miners union, is the plan only of the mem bers of that committee. The report of the committee has not yet been presented to national convention of the United Mine Workers of America for consideration. What action the convention next January may take on the subject is, of course, unknown.
 "The national convention held in 1921 adopted a resolution indorsing the principle of standardization of mines and created a committee to

TEXTILE DIVIDENDS REST ON CHILD

Boston, Feb. o.-The oft-repeated claim that the huge textile dividends rest on law wages and child labor was women in this city.
 Atherton Brownell, a member of the national child labor committee, said that the cities having the great est percentage of child labor are also the cities which have the greatest amount of cotton manufacture, and they are all located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 "The city having the undesirable distinction of being the worst in the country with regard to the employ ment of children is Woonsocket, R. l., closely followed by Fall River, Mass, he said "Then comes Paw tucket, R. l., and then New Bedford and Lawrence, Mass. All of these cities have more than Y per cent in child labor Compare these with the large cities, which have no such manu- factures and you will find them rang ing from 7.2 per cent in Chicago down to less than 3 per cent in Cleveland. Boston shows GA per cent.
 In reply to recent denia1s by New Bedford cotton manufacturers that they were using child labor to large degree, MT. Brownell said:
 "I am now able to say on the auth ority of the United States census bu- reau that of the 2,I33 children of New Bedford from TO to Is years of age, inclusive, I,2o6 were employed in the cotton mills in 1920

 The patience of the public is about exhausted, but the hard-boiled execu- tives are depending upon their hordes of lobbyists ia convince the legisla- tors that the union-smashing policy of railroad managers has nothing to do with faulty service.
