LA SUPERIORIDAD COMPLEJA

Dos cosas parecen haber sido los mo-
tivos iniciales para ell crimen, dos cosas
muy simpies:
La couicia ell espiritu de aventu-
ra. Quisieron hacer ina travesura, y
llegaron a cousiderar la vida de ,sus
semejantes sin nin5una importancia
comparada con su propio entreteni-
miento. Y creyeron que lograrian un
dinero facil. La situacion de ambos es
digna de l5stiIna. Airn mas digna de
res. Asi como nadie triunfa sin elevar
con el d otras personas, asi nadie Sc
hunde SIN que Sc hundan otros con el
Los sufrinnentos de las familias de am
bos niiios deben ser muy hondos.
Gu crimen, sin embargo, fue parti-
cularmente atroz. Mataron un mucha-
cho inocente, isto en- ell apogeo de
su juventud en- un autom6vil en- mitad
de una Gale muy concurrida. Primero
| lie golpearon en- Ia cabeZa con I'm esco-
plo, Y luego lie ahogaron con una NOR
daza Ademas de este desparramaron
I'm POGO de acido sobre su rostro con ell
prop6sito de desfigurarle para destruir
su identldad
No hay la excusa de la pobreza para
su accion, pues ambos muchachos eran
hijos de padres bien acomodados y re-
cibian de ellos liberal munifeencia. Ell
rescate en- dinero Y la aventura del
crimen fueron los motives del hecho.
Al apartar de su seno los dos crimi-
males, 10 debe la sociedad mostrar su
deseo de venganza, sino ell prop6sito
de protegerse asi misma mediante la
administrator de estricta justicia.
Todo parece ser producto de un mo-
mento dc Ia superioridad compleja Y
de la irresponsabilidad de la inteligen-
cia como substitute para los instintos
naturales del genero humane.

of good times, greater than any the
south has had in years, being upon it.
Financiers here and i'll other sec
tons who have made comment on
the business and financial situation
have been unanimous in their optimis-
tic predictions. All of the leaders of
industry who have spoken Of the new
era are agreed that it has opened up
a golden vista for all sections and
that industry is responding heartily
to the call for greater activity.
All business men here who have
kept track of the trend of events to-
ward greater business activity express
confidence in the permanency OF the
business boom and look to the year
1925 as one filled with greater prom
Use than any that recently have gone
before.
South's Gain in Savings.
That the south is making progress
in thrift was pointed out here today
bv John K. Ottley, president of the
Fourth National Bank of Atlanta, one
of the largest financial institutions IN
the south which also maintains large
savings department. Thousands OF
Atlantans received Christmas checks
for interest on their savings from
this bank. Mr.. Ottley said that IN
twelve years the south advanced 1873
per cent in its per capita savings III
banks.
For many years the south, as point
ed out by Mr.. Ottley and other fnan-
cial leaders. had financial stringency
that prec1uded savings accounts in
banks. The war between the states
left the south PROSTATE. Its industries
were DESTROYED, its business was
wrecked. many of its homes and some
OF its cities and towns were destroy
ed. Its people were helpless to do
more than start anew at the bottom,
with nothing to start on. They had no
money. no credit and their only la
Dor, the slaves, was taken IRON them.
Yet the people of the south rebuilt the
south ultimately into the most prom
ising and most progressive part OF
the country.
1t is generally agreed among fnan-
ciers and business men that the south
is on the high road to prosperity. 1t
is making progress as no other sec
ton of the country is making it; and
il will be easier for the people OF the
south to save hereafter, for they have
more from which to set aside store
for a rainy day"

A Double Battle Is
Looming in Congress
Increased Postal Wages and Rates Is
Fodder for Big Fight. Want to
Raise Second Class Rates.

A double battle on the subjects OF
increased wages for postal workers
and increased postal rates to provide
funds for the pay increase looms in
congress. The fight is expected to be-
gin soon when both propositions will
be placed before the house and senate.
Postmaster General New has come
forward with plans for increasing rates
for all class of mail except the first,
declaring that his scale will produce
additional revenue of more than 500
100000 year. At the same time con-
gressmen intend to bring up the sub
ject OF the vetoed postal salaries in
crease bill, which would cost the gov
eminent about $68,000,000 year.
Plans for increases in postal rates
would apply to second class mail, con-
sisting of newspapers and periodicals,
parcel post, post cards, registered let
tiers, money orders, postal insurance
and collection delivery service.
Not only will there be a fight over
the postal salaries increase measure,
but there are sure to be interests
strongly opposed to increased postal
rates, particularly in the parcel post
line. Thus a double battle is promised.

SEATTLE, Wash.-They lived in

Emerging from their stay in the
wilderness Earl Oberg and wife asked
only to be let alone with their grub
good, plain, home-cooked food.
They had won their 5000 bet, but it's
begun to look as if they would have
to spend it all on "eats" to get caught
up for all they missed.
The Obergs went into the wilds
around Mount Baker, with only a
knife to aid them in obtaining
food and shelter.
Lived on Berries.
1--WE lived on berries first" says
Mrs. Oberg. "And they're certainly
not very filling.
"Then Earl made a snare from
twigs and caught a rabbit. We raveled
wool threads from our skirts and
caught some fish. We cut branches

Earl managed to start a fire by
friction, so we could cook our rabbit
and our fish. And the fire kept us from
freezing, although it was pretty cool
sometimes"

leaves.
But Posse Withdrew.
Thrills? Yes, they had two big ones.

ever, scared it away.
And then forest ranger-sure they
were fugitives from justice-led a

convinced of their identity, the posse
left them alone to win their bet.

A. D. Cobb, one of the most prom
