Harsh Auto Horn.

(Tuscaloosa News)
 Nobody has ever explained why it should be necessary to scare person to death in order to con- vey a traffic warning to him. Au- tomobile horns may not drive sensitive people to sanitariums. but they are an important part of growing volume of auditory of- lenses which multiply the patron- age of such institutions. While solving other traffic problems, the traffic experts. aided perhaps by musicians and neurologists, might pay little attention to the quality of motor horns.

ing gun in the 100000 Greater Yves.
leyan campaign, was fired yesterday
when the annual college opening ex
ercises We're held. DR.. w. F. Quill
liam, president, challenged the stu
dent body, the Alumnae association
and the city of Macon, to rally to
the support of the college, the oldest
college for women in the world. Il
was announced that SIS young wo
men had enrolled.
He pointed out the need Of en-
larging the institution in order that
hundreds Of young women might MOI
be turned away annually as is now
the case. He said that more than
300 had been turned away this year.
He reviewed the Great Wesleyan
program in a brief manner, stating
that the Methodists and people gen
orally would be called upon to push
forward g. campaign that would I'll
timately result in the building of a
much larger and more modern col
lege plant on the large tract acquired
this year at Rivoli, a few miles from
the city.
There were a number of other
speakers who addressed the young
women and the audience that taxed
the college chapel to it's capacity.
The enrolment this year is unusual
ly large. The young women will be-
gin class work today and tomorrow
and by the first of next week, the
regular college program will be
working in full form.

Suit Of Floridiians
Against Albanian Is

An order temporarily restraining

r. Biggers, Atlanta architect, by A.

orange growers, of Hillsbury, Fla,

expenses necessitated in formulating
plans for construction work in Tam

cost of sac, 900; an apartment house,
for $95, 900, and an office building To
be erected at an expenditure of ST.

additional 2 per cent for supervision
for woSk on the office building. He
said the money was not his, merely
being advanced by the orange men

Giant Naval Dirigible
Is in Perfect Condition
After Great Test Flight

LAKEHURST, N. j., Sept. r.
Uncle Sans giant naval dirigible,
the Fri, lay in her fbarn-like hangar
today with every stay and wire in
her frame as taut and shipshape as
they were yesterday when she left
on her epoch-making trip Of eleven
and one-half hours.
Her officers and officials of the naval
air station, eIated at the great ships
performance, declared another trip
probably would be essayed next Sun
day. They announced themselves sat
isfied in every detail of the dirigible's
behavior in flight, during which she
paid, stately, majestic visits to New
York and Philadelphia, and gave
glimpses Of her regal, state self
to a half score of cities of New
Jersey.
Not a mishap occurred, although
tbs ship was subjected to most Sc
we're tests.
With all six engines running,
though not at full speed, the FRI
made 60 miles an hour at times.
On one occasion she rose to an altl-
tude of 1000 feet, the highest she
has yet done.

CLINCHF| ELD LEASE

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 13.-Con-
summation Of the proposed lease Of
the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio
railway by the Atlantic Coast Line
would create a monopoly and tend
to impair competition between the
Coast Line and the Seaboard Air
Line railway, w. L. Stanley, vice
president of the Seaboard, declared
Wednesday in urging the South Car
DINA railroad commission to resclnd
it's approval of the proposed lease.
On cross examination by attorneys
for the Atlantic Coast Line, Mr..
Stanley said the Seaboard had made
no plans for the development of
Charleston or any, other port.
He contended that the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio should be main
tanned as a bridge from the coal
fields for the use of all the trunk
lines in this territory.
The Coast Line attorneys sought
by questions to show that the Sea-
board would have no incentive to
develop Charleston but rather Will
mington, if it should be given con-
troll of the c., c. & o.
Mr.. Stanley asserted thGt the
claim had been made for the Coast
Line at a hearing before the Geor-
gia railroad commission that the
port of Savannah would be greatly
developed if tie lease was approved.
John Shelton Williams, receiver
for the Georgia and Florida railway,
told of that roads plan to build a
line from Greenwood to Augusta.
The Georgia and Florida, he said,
made a surplus last year and is now
in a condition to carry out any
promises it might make.
Making the statemU ,.-.der oath,
Mr.. Williams replied to a question
by Chairman Shealy:
1T is my belief that the Green
wood Augusta line will be built by
the Georgia and Florida if the
Clinchfield is maintained as an open
road"
But, he said, If the Clinchfield sis
bottled no" by some other line it is
seriously questionable whether or
not the Georgia and Florida would
feel justified in making the extern
sion.
The hearing is expected to last
several days.

QUIET OF SUNDAY SETTLES
ON NEW YORK AS JEWS
QUIT WORK FOR TWO DAYS
city Of the world In many ant
devious ways.

city of the world in many and
devious ways.
No matter how widely the national
groups Of Jews may be separated
at other times, and in other matters,
they are as one in the celebration
of the two days marking the advent
Of the New Year. When their great
activities cease, the city gets an oh
ject lesson and learns how dependent
it is upon the Jewish merchant and
worker. There no longer is any
doubt that in the upbuilding of New
York, the making of the city great,
the Jews who have chosen this as
their home have had the lions
share. Once more or less segregated
in the city's ghetto on the East Side,
they have spread now into all the
boroughs and have proved them
selves the same interchangeable build
ers" in the residential sections that
they have been in the business and
financial districts.
The wonderful development of the
Bronx in the last twenty-five years,
with it's grand concourse, it's tower
ing residential hotels and massed
apartment houses, is almost entirely
due to the Jews, who for more than
two decades now have been gradu-
ally moving northward, pressed for
ward by the Italians and the Syri-
ans, who in due course Of time, will
also continue to the north. making
way for the inpouring of the fmmi-
grants, who, when they strike the
United States, choose to live as far
down on Manhattan isle as posi-
BILE.
Mean Much to City
The Jews have meant more to
New York than mere traders and
builders. The East Side has given
to the world great musicians and
poets. Some of these geniuses per
haps were but incubated there. 1t is
told, for instance, that when a
tailor suddenly turned poet in the
ghetto many persons thought a
miracle had been performed. The
truth of the matter was that the
poet had come to America-the land
OF opportunity--in the Storage and
simply had been compelled to work
for a time as a tailor.
In the East Side cafes today, 1T
is said, that one may encounter the
father of Mischaelman, the sister of
Alma Gluck, and so on throu~h a
long list of artists and actors. The
push cart peddler, continually chased
by a stern but friendly cop, has a
daughter graduating this year from
the Conservatory of Music. In the
back room Of an East Side barber
shop a boy prodigy practices for
hours at the piano.
There are twelve Jewish theaters
in New York City. Some have per-
formances in both Yiddish and Eng
fish. At opera and concert the Jews
of the city make up at least one
half of the audience.
BY no studied demonstration could
the Jews have made their impOr-
lance to New York more evident than
in the quiet Of the city during the
last two days. The metropolis has
been almost a metropolis.

New Year Celebration Takes
I 100000 From Posts,
Slowing Trade, Delaying
Trials and Closing Many
Businesses
BY ROBERT Z. SMALL

Copyright, 1921

(CopyrGht, 1881
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-What the
Jews mean to the life Of the city of
New York was never better illus
trated than during the holidays
which are marking the beginning of
the Jewish New Year 1884. At least
one-half Of the activities Of the city
have been stilled. Thousands of
shops, big and little, have been
closed. Wholesale houses have shut
down. Trucking has ceased. Rush
hours" on the subway, the elevated
and the bridges spanning the east
river have not existed. Traffic cops
in the congested downtown and finan-
cial districts have been visiting each
other at their posts, blocks apart.
Night watchmen at the big loft and
factory buildings have had to do dou-
ole duty while for two days the work
ers have stopped tn 'ir toll.
Departments of the city, state and
federal government have granted
holidays to so many of their en-
ployes that their functions have
been notably impaired. Cases in the
state and federal courts have been
postponed because Of the absence of
counsel and witnesses. Trading in
Wall street has been more than
dull" The holidays have beun cele-
brated this year in a more orthodox
manner, seemingly, than eve )re,
and this fact may lead to a move
ment to declare the Jewish new year
a legal holiday throughout the state
of New York.
The Jews of New York max. up
100000 Of the greater city's popu-
lation There are approximately but
100000 jews in the entire United
States, showing a concentration herr

more than a million and half per-
sons out of the activities of New
York city caused a Sunday quietness
TO settle down from the battery to
the far reaches of the Bronx and
from the eastern shores of the Hud-
son to the waves of Coney Island
and Rocllaway beach.
One-Tenth of Jews i'm New York
One-tenth Of all the Jews in the
world are housed in Greater, New
York. There are more Jews here
than there are in Palestine, or prob
ably ever will be in Palestine. For
that matter there are more Italians
in New York than in Rome. Like
wise there are more Greeks in the
American metropolis than there are
in Athens. New York is the first
