HIGHER POSTOFFICE CHARGES
TO SOON BECOME EFFECTIVE
Everything, From Postal to Parcel
Will Cost the Public More.

For the postal employees to get in
creases in salaries the public will have
to pay higher rates in order for the
members Of congress to get increases
in salaries the money comes out OF
the general treasury. 1t is the same
thing though different
Alter April 18th you will pay z
cents for a postal card.
Two cents for each parcel post pack
age. unless the carrier collects it on
a rural route.
Twenty-Five cents extra if you want
special handling" OF your parcel post
package.
Five cents for a money order not
exceeding $3.50, in comparison with 3
cents now, and proportlonate increas-
es up to p cents for an order Of 500.
Between IS and 20 cents for reg

and cents extra if you want re-
turned receipt.
Five cents for insurance on parcel
post not to exceed S. against 3 cents

The folks who have to pay the in

Money orders are essential to many
OF our people, but others have check

State Suffered Nearly Eight Mil
lion Dollars Loss in 1923, Ac-
cording to Report of National
Board of Fire Underwriters.

NEW YORK, y. Y.-It is evident
that Georgia continues to supply
plenty OF material for the flames to
iced on. Any doubt Of this fact is re
moved bv the figures OF the state s
fire waste during 1928 just issued by
the National Board OF Fire Under
writer's. From its actuarial bureau the
center OF American fire loss statistics,
the National Board finds that to the
grand total for the United States $685.
372.782. Georgia contributed no less
than S7981, 500. (The national figure
includes 25 per cent Tor unreported
and uninsured losses.)
This fire loss-which places Georgia
fifteenth among the forty-eght states
compares with destruction of So
978,625 in 1918. 1t thus shows an in
crease in five years OF $4002,675.
Analysis OF the elaborate tabulation
published by the National Board es-
tablishcs the fact that OF the twenty
so-called originating causes defective
chimneys and fues' was chiefly re
sponsible for this monstrous wastagc.
It's share of the damage inflicted was
S558.97Q. Closely following defective
chinaneys and dues" came sparks on
ROOF" with $556425, and matches
smoking" to which was attributed
$459,250 loss. All three fell within the
Strictly preventablc' classification,
which lends support to the contention
OF fire prevention engineers that fully
Is per cent OF the country's perennial
fire destruction always is clearly avoid
able, because to that extent 1t IS due
to public habits OF carelessness and
to Ignorance.

Public and Railroads
Benefit by COOPERATION
Representatives of Shipper and Car
rier in Session at Savannah.

The way in which both the public
and the railroads benefit by mutual
cooperation are pointed out in an in
teresting statement from /. A. Downs,
president of the Central OF Georgia
railway. Mr.. Downs declares that the
improved transportation situation IS
the result primarily OF better under
standing OF certain general principles
and the carrying OF these principles m
to practice. He says that the people
are no longer regarding the railroads
with hostility and distrust, but are &C
cording transportation the same square
deal and fair treatment that is given
other industries.
He cites as an example OF practical
cooperation the work OF the Shippers
Regional Advisory Boards. The board
OF the southeast is in session this
week at Savannah, Ga The eight Re
gional Advisory Boards are voluntary
organizations, attended by representa-
tives of shipper and carrier At their
meetings information is presented and
contacts are established that make it
possible for the railroads to eliminate
car shortages, delays and Interrupt
tons to business
Shippers bear witness to the savings
in interest charges, the speeding up OF
business and the benefits to individual
enterprises and to industry in general,
because of more dependable transpor-
tation Mr.. Downs says that in the
period 1890 to 1923 while population
increased 20 per cent the demand for
transportation increased 239 per cent.
To meet increasing demands OF the
future the railways are this year
spending one billion one hundred mil
lion dollars in expanding and increas-
ing their facilities The president OF
the Central of Georgia declares that
his railway is always willing to avail
itself OF helpful ideas from the ship
ping and travelling public.

NEW YORK CITY HAS
A DAILY DRESS PARADE
Thousands Put on Special Uniforms
While Serving as Bakers, Etc.

Among the routine things prescrib-
ed by the manual of life in New York
city is a dress parade for every day.
True, it is not a military affair in any
sense. 1t is reviewed by no general or
chief OF staff, and the troops are scat
tered in a thousand places. But every
day millions OF people in the town act
as inspection officers to large army
OF men and women who every morn
ing put on special uniforms, mostly
white, to serve the city's needs as ba-
kers, BARRIERS, butchers, milI1nen,
chemists, dentists, druggists, doctors,
hospital attendants, grocers, walters
and manicurists. The size OF the army
can be roughly estimated from the
fact that it requires for its daily use
at least $4,000 coats, 10000 aprons,
100000 kitchen towels, 10000 pairs OF
trousers, 10000 caps and 10000 dress
es, the New York Times states.
Good digestion has lots to do with
one having good disposition.

Homes are still in good demand.
Automobile owners in this section,
driven nearly to distraction in the
last-minute rush to get their auto

when those not having titles became
liable to fine, were cheered somewhat
by the news that ARRANGEMENTS had

days of grace before the 1925 tag
law was enforced.
Complete reciprocity was arranged
and those who are unable to get tags

tor vehicle commissioner, was busy
all day aiding perplexed owners to get
