Because so many French families

of them die.
Which means, of course, that
France is the ''most civilized coun-

America, in that sense, is less

Increase the
Speed Limit

The automobile speed limit in
the FIRE zone of Americus is |
miles an hour, City Engineer
Walker tells US, and he states
that this should be increased to
IS miles an hour at least.
The secret of safe driving in
side the congested areas is
quickly moving traffic and an
unobstructed vision. If the
streets are kept clear. with pro-
er parking ordinances enforced,
cars can move rapidly and safe
ly. Mr. Walker says it is the
slowly moving car that is most
dangerous and he has made a
study of traffic problems for
years.
The streets should be marked
off so the public will know where
and how to park; not less than
Is feet clear space should be
preserved at all corners and the
speed limit raised.
This, in our opinion, will re-
lieve some of the trouble result
ing from automobile congestion.

SALARY INCREASE ~
COMES WITH
PROMOTION

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-After a
ca, eful survey of the entire LABOR
situation extending from ole boy
to president, indications are that
positions showing Increases IN sal
aries require experienced help.
Consulting the president Of one
of our largest industries, the writ
er inquired regarding the rapid
success of. a, certain young man who
had become general. manager, and
who few years ago was but office
bow: his answer, was, Brown start
ed as office boy, the lowest salaried
position in our office; he was am
bilious and managed to purchase a
typewriter on small monthly pay
n.ents and after three weeks of
practice at home he was promoted
to bill clerk, which position gave
him knowledge Of the selling price
of all merchandise. His next ad-
vance was that of typist, which
taught him the numerous forms of
letter-writing and enabled him to
hold a stenographic position, CIV
ing him complete knowledge of let
ter-writing. He was then made sec
rotary, bringing him into contact
with all business details and quail
fled him for the general managers
office at ten thousand per year.
The same opportunity awaits ev-
cry young man and woman. Educa-
ton or age have nothing to do with
operating so simple machine as
the type writer. We are informed
that a great piece of benevolent
work is being carried on by large
Chicago mail order house in fur
nishing typewriters to people wor-
thy of credit, by selling on small
monthly installments, 50 low as to
average about eight cents per day
and actually teaching their custom
ers how to use and operate any tpe-
writer in about three weeks time.

Albany's First Citizen
Passes On

Albany lost her first citizen
and South Georgia one of her
staunchest and most valuable
men when Henry NJ. 'Mcln-
tosh, veteran editor of the Al
bany Herald, passed on to a
richly deserved reward Friday
night, at his home in Albany.
Mr.. Mcintosh, the dean OF
South Georgia journalists, for
more than so years has guided
the destinies of the Albany Her
aid, and it isalargely because of
his superb faith and splendid
vision that Albany has become
one Of the leading cities of Geor-
gia and probably the most ag.
gressive community south ok
Macon.
During the most trying days
following the world war, when
crop failures and business stag
nation caused weaker men to
lose faith, this great old Scotch
man stepped to the front and
with words of wisdom and deeds
which proved his faith, lead his
people into greater things.
1t was about three years ago
when financial affairs in South
Georgia were at their lowest
ebb; every community, every in
dividual was hard hit; not even
the wealthiest escaped. Realizing
the mental attitude of the peo-
pie, Mr.. Mcintosh gave splendid
evidence of his faith in the final
outcome of this section by pur-
chasing for his paper the proper
ty it occupied, then following
this investment: with an equally
large one in the purchase of one
of the most b modern printing
press batteries in the State. From
then on the Herald has con-
stantly added to its equipment
until today it has few superiors
IN the Oouth FOR a city us size.
In these investments for his
paper, Mr.. Mcintosh was siInply
doing what he has always done,
keeping his paper constantly
ahead of his town and section.
1t was his belief that an
honestly edited and managed
daily could and would build a
community. but to do this the
paper must be a leader in fact
as well as in preachment. The
results, both for Albany and the
Herald, have proven the wisdom
of this opinion.
There are others on the Her
aid to carry on, but in the hearts
of the people of Albany and
South Georgia there is none to
take the place of Henry McIn-
tosh.
