WHAT COUNTIES PAY FOR
RUNNING FORDS.
Stale Board of Health Summarizes Elk
pense OF 35 Cars Operated in
Twenty Virginia Counties.

Richmond, Va, May 14-What it
may be expected to cost man who
operates Ford car over good roads
and bad, on level stretches and Oh
grades OF every kind, is shown in
tahulation just completed by the State
Board of Health which has. since May
l. 1919, been using Fords in its rural
sanitation work through Virginia.
The time has been divided into two
periods, the high-priced days up I,
June 80, 1921 and The more norma!
months from that date until the END
of 1922. Then the figures are grouped
for two periods. Excluding garage
rent and depreciation, it was found
that 80 cars, operated in 20 counties
had cost for the first period on the
average for each car, $44.5O monthly,
for the second period the cost was
mere than ten dollars less-$34.3j.
The monthly average for the whole
tine was $4013.
The second period is the most valu
able for study, since it approaches the
normal more CLOSELY than either Of
the other tabulations. From that it
may be seen that the average driver or
cara man normally careful, can eX-
pest to run his Ford over country
roads, taking the good with the bad
and encountering all kinds of weather
at cost not to exceed $35 month, if
his mileage apprOXimates 900. The

Greeks seem TO lie OF the opinion that

that the powerful Turkish army in

looking the fact that other smaller na-

inother fact is evident too and tina.
is that the Greek Government has ne
money with which to wage war. The
Turks had method in their madness
when they forced the transportation
of ems OF thousands OF Greeks 20 their
naive land, where their own Govern

a situation that is embarrassing the
country and which may force the
Creeks to conclude peace, which is
highly distasteful to them. No aid can

Jackson, Miss. May 24-It looks as
though the trite old saying that: "a
leopard cannot change his spots is
about to be refuted. The recent out
ward signs of change of heart in Mss
!ssippi, the home of Vardaman, John
Sharp Williams and scores Of other
Negro baiterse tire planters of seeds OF
race hatred, indicates that the trend
- events and conditions brought about
by the exodus Of Negroes, is really an
awakening of conscience In that state.
The recent expression of concern
about the welfare and development OF
he Negro population of the state is
significant as is indicated by the fol-
lowing resolution:
We must improve living conditions
improve working conditions, look ait.
or the health ana sanitary problems OF
our laborerS and see that they get
proper churches, schools and places o.
amusement. Every man and woman in
the state must see to it that the laws
protecting the Negroes in their lives
and property are Vigorously enforced,
that the occasional white man who
seeks to profit through the ignorance
OF his tenants or laborcrs be forced By
the overwhelming weight of an arous-
ed public opinion to give a square
deal to all whom he employs regardless
OF race or color; and that there be the
fullest co operation between the white
man and the black to insure amicable
relations efficient service and mutual
profit to both"
This public expression, yelling white
supremacy, is indeed q forward AMI
unexpected step for NJ ;ssissippians to
take. This, however may be intended
only to stop supposed Negro leaders Of
the South to work the harder to cou-
virce the southern Negro laborers THAI

several times recently reports have

St"te Board of Health to the effect
mat the men who own these alleged to
be miraculous stones have been charg

seals made by dogs bite. In
one instance, the person 50
treHted paid $50 for the Sc. vice and
subsequently died from rabies.

is right in believing that such practic

when there is no fee in sight. The lao
