RIGHT OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

The stand taken by the Supreme
Council of Scottish Rite Masons of
the Southern Jurisdiction last week
on the private and paroChial school
question was viewed with grave con-
Germ by G.. G. Murphy of Pittsburgh,
at a meeting yesterday of the alumni
and undergraduates of the Columbia
University School.
Mr.. Murphy spoke on The Right of
Private Schools to ENist.p The duty
lies with the parent to see that his
children attend any school he chooses
to send them to. 50 long as he com
plies with the compulsory attendance
law" declared Mr.. Murphy. We are
living in an age of fanaticism, and it
is regrettabe that we have Il minor
ity who are always trying to force
their views upon the majority"
The lack of respect for constituted
authority was deplored by Gilbert c.
Vincent. He referred particularly to
the Nolstead act. y musical program
WIS given by the Columbia Glee Club.

CARBURETOR is PROBLEM

require complete revision OF carbure-
ton plans.
Much, however. is being learned
about carburetion. Many manufac.
turers are discardinE the idea Of
smooth passa geway for the incoming
, manifolds with dead ends that actually
make the gas lively. One engine re-
veals the exhaust manifold and intake
as twin proposition, like two
family house. 1t has not been so long
ago that the exhaust manifold was
placed on one side of the engine. with
the intake as far away as possible on
the other side. y
Some Of the air-cleaning devices af.
feet the carburetion. Manufacturers
are avoiding the devices which tend
to act as a drag on the air going into
the engine. They also act as a drag
on power.
One of the time.honored ideas that
Is going by the board Is that the car
owner should not tamper with the
carburetor. 1t might have been good
advice in the days when the pioneer
motorlst drove his car only in fair
weather and then over territory which
could be anticipated. The carburetor
could be set by the repairer and the
driver would have little occasion to
touch 1t.
Needs Adjustment Often.
Today it Is different. The driver
may set out to cross the continent.
Even IL he takes q short trip he may
vary In altitude from sea level to
5000 feet above. He may encounter
extremes in weather: there may be
plains or endless hills-all in the same
day. The demand is for frequent but
accurate carburetor adjustment. Car
buretor manufacturers are confronted
with a dilemm2-whether to devise a
carburetor that will take care OF the
changes automatically or one that can
be adjusted easily by the owner with
out danger OF trouble.
Various examples Of both trends are
seen on the 1926 cars. There is a tend
ency to provide heat control from the
instrument board. This, at least,
minimizes the effect of changing eli.
matte conditions.
Added to all these, the engineers
now face the additional task Of max
Ing the carburetor and the normal
fueling OF the engines proof against
fuel "dopes." More and more motorists
are doctoring their gasoline. and this
practice may bring forth a few more
kinks in the carburetor puzzle.
1t begins to look. however. as though
the car owner would have to know a
thing or two about carbaretion. There
Is a limit to automatic action, and
where this limit looms upon the hori-
zon the human element Of carburetor
control naturally enters. The car
owner may yet be the solution to the
carburetion riddle.

PROBLEMS ARE STUDIED
TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Survey Of Cities Shows Enforcement of
Laws Is Generally Lax-Many Stores
Provide Free Parking.

Traffic problems in large cities
throughout the country and to a Ger
tain extent in smaller communities
are being studied by traffic experts
to learn just how different munich
palities are handling difficulties re-
sultinG from congestion.
One of the most comprehensive
studies of this nature and which re
veais the growing importance with
which the proper regulation of muni-
cipal transportation is regarded has
just been concluded by Capt. J. l..
Butler, managing director of the
Downtown Business Mems Associa
tion of Los Angeles. His study Of
civic traffic problems embraced
9,000-mile inspection tour.
Enforcement Lax.
Capt. Buffers report is interesting
among other things, in showing that
the parking problem is recognized as
one Of the most troublesome with
which city officials have to deal
Nearly every large city has ordi-
nanceS to regulate motor car parking
in the busiest traffic Centers, but the
report indicates that their chief claim
to uniformity lies in the general tend
ency toward non-enforcement This
laXity is evidently due TO the strong
protests from merchants in the mar
IoWly restricted parking areas, as
Capt. Butler frequently calls atten-
ton TO the objections against those
ordinances. In his report on condi-
tions in Philadelphia ne SAYS:
Streets are narrow, one way with
a single street car track. No park
ing on left side of car tracks. One
hour parking at all other places, not
\
ing.
Omaha according to the re-
port. has one-hour parking from I
4. m. 10 ) pm. Ordinance is not prop
erly enforced and results in all-day
parking. Merchants complain and
authorities threaten to prohibit park
ing entirely. All streets are so feet
and angle parking is permitted TO
block moving traffic"
Limited Parking.
In Kansas City an ordinance pro-
hibitS parking on certain streets be-
tween Z and 9 o'clock in the morning
and 4:30 and s o'clock in the evening.
The morning prohibition is not en-
forced" says Capt. Butler. "Mer
chants strongly oppose proposed
measure to eliminate parking on
downtown streets
These parking ordinances, despite
their more or less lax enforcement.
have led many mercantile houses to
provide parking space for their Gus
toners and il may he that the local
authorities hope by their parking
ordinances to influence the provid-
ing of parking space by private in
terests. Capt. Buffers report shows
that this is being done to a very con-
sidera BILE extent. Among the note
worthy instances mentioned in the
report are the following:

the first shipment of watermelons from

deal of spoilage, as experienced by
those who ship singly. All melons will
be routed to cities showing the high

conditions for selling,
Approximately 500 carloads of wa
termelons were shipped from south
Georgia last week, for which it is be-
lieved an average price of $500 per
car will be received, the 500 carloads
bringing the growers 100000.

AN APPRECIATION.

1t would be the most base ingrati-
tude to not mention those who have
so unselhshly and generously cooper
ated with US in the campaign to eradi-
cate the boil weevil in Terrell county
this year. Nearly every progressive
business house in Dawson has con-
tributed space on the last page of The
Dawson News with no motive in view
save that of bringing prosperity to
Terrell county farmers. They have
proven themselves worthy of men
ton; they have done their best. and
TO them we owe much. Should we be
successful in saving the Terrell county
cotton crop these business houses
must be ascribed much of the praise
We would also express our apprecia-
ton in behalf of the farmers of the
county and to The Dawson News.
They have also proven themselves
eager to help, and from time to time
have gone out of their business prac-
tees to assist in this campaign. We
have all pulled together, have worked
for the same end, and it is our conf
dent opinion that this campaign will
result in an increase of many thous-
ands of dollars Worth of cotton
Again we desire to thank these people,
and commend them not only to the
farmers of this county but to this en-
tire section of the state.

SOUTH GEORGIA FEED
CROP AND HOG SUPPLY
FARMERS SHOULD NOT THIS
SEASON DEPEND ON IMPOR-
TATION OF FEEDER PIGS.

Editor Dawson News: Facts CON
corning the south Georgia feed crop
and hog supply situation have recent
ly been presented to me, which reflect
conclusions | believe are of vital in
terest to the farmers of south Geor-
gia and | hand you this information
that you may give same publicity if
you believe it applicable in your sec
ton.
In 1924 south Georgia raised a
good feed crop and did not have suf-
ficient hogs to consume it. The de-
mand at that time for feeder pigs was
met by importing from Tennessee and
Kentucky at least $4,000 pigs, and on
basis of market prices prevailing since
March this year corn fed to these pigs
showed net returns ranging from Sis
to $500 per bushel.
1t now appears likely south Georgia
will raise this year bumper crop of
corn, peanuts, potatoes and other hog
feeds, and the farmers in southwest
Georgia have already placed orders
with the local public stock yards for
10000 feeder pigs, delivery from July
to October
Local live stock men have recently
visited Tennessee and other northern
states to contract for feeder pigs, and
report all these points very short Of
pigs and sows.
Tennessee farmers and live stock
men not only refuse to sell any of
their feeder pigs now or later in the
year, but are actually preparing to
