OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT OPTIMISTIC

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Students of
business and financial conditions
men like Forrest Adair, president of
the Adair Realty and Trust company,
which does national business-are
optimistic over the outlook for con-
tinued improve ment in business, an
Improvement, steady, substantial and
without the Gcom features which al
ways is of doubtful value.
Mr.. Adair today callen attention to
the fact that industry and trade in
practically every line, based on re-
ports received by his large investment
house, continue at comparatively high
levels of activity. There is optimism
everywhere, he says. Mr.. Adair shows
that the fact that boom tendencies
have been lacking in the last few
weeks must be rega1 ded as favorable
feature.
The conservative attitude OF busi-
ness at the present time, Mr.. Adair
SAYS, is having good effect gener-
ally. Reports received by his COM
pany from various sections shows
that the farm situation is improving
every day. prosperity is here, said
Mr.. Adair.

THEORY AND PRACTICE

While the NJ. E. Churc South lead
ers, clergymcn and conferences in
Georgia continue one after another to
vote against unificat;on with the M.
T. Church, the most unsurmountable
objection being apparently recogni-
ton of negro bishops inthe General
Conference, the churches in general
pursue a steady inter racial work thru
the laity, mostly the womeh workers.
An increase OF more than 100 COM
mittees over 1923 was reported for
1924 in this work and results were los
community clubs, II clinics, day nur-
series, 2 rest rooms for country wo-
men two kindergartens libraries and
reading rooms l health nurse l police
matron all for negroes and maintained
by swomen's organizations. Besides this
institutional work was the campaign
work for health schools, reading, train
ing classes, attention to court trials,
probation officers, home demonstration
agents, care of the helpless, mothers
clubs, and every possible activity indi-
eating a friendly attitude toward the
colored race.

WHY NO FIRE PREVENTIoN?-


of hook and ladder companies and hand buckets
to put out fires, little thought given to fire
prevention How to put the fire out seemed to
be the main consideration The same state OF mind
existed in regard to contag ous diseases, such
the plague yellow fever, typhoid, diptheria, the
hook wormn and malaria. For hundreds OF years
the only thought seemed to be the possibility of
curing persons after the disease gained foothod
instead of trying to prevent the disease from ever
starting Today the diseases mentioned have been
practically eliminated by scientific preventative
measures and through educational work advising
the public how to control them.
So far as fires are concerned, however, our nation
has staggered along bndly under its enormous
annual fire loss with resulting death toll seeming
ly as indifferent of fire prevention measures it
was when the first crude fire fighting apparatus
was in use. We simply have not awakened to the
fact that death and property loss from fire can be
eliminated Just as death and property loss result
ing from contagious diseases have been eliminated
by scientific study and treatment.
The National Board of Fire Underwriters and
the Underwriters Laboratories, in Chicago, have
been pioneering in the campaign OF public educa-
ton on fire prevention. The seeds they have plant
ed are taking root. Manufacturing concerns see
the wisdom of laboratory tests OF their products
which tend to safeguard the public in their use.
Retail establishments see the value OF handling
scientifically tested products and the buying pub
lie is awakening to the advantage of buying pro-
ducts which have been tested to their fire re-
sistng or fire prevention qualities.
Some day the nation is going to awaken to the
fact that it is just crimlnally negligent for any
person to maintain fire hazard which can be ell
minated, as it is for person with contagious
disease expose others to the danger of the same
malady.
It's essential that all cooperation possible
should be given to the agencies which are spread
ing the gospel of fire prevention,

THE CALIFORNIA ROADS-Paved roads built

THE CALIFORNIA ROADS-Paved roads built
five and ten years ago were never intended TO suahd
the commercial use to which they have been sub
,ectcd The result is that thousands OF miles OF
HIGHWAYS which would have lasted indefinitely
under ordinary automobile and farm traffic are
having to be rebuilt California has greater prop
lem on it's hands from this standpoint, than almost
anv other state because it was one OF the pioneers
in hard suriacing its highways
In order to save the taxpayers as much money as
possible and salvage the greatest amount OF oId
road the California State Highway COMMISSION
has shown its resourcefulness in a method 1t mas
developed.
1t has been found that well compacted old ma
cadam roads or rough and broken pavements make
an excellent sub-base to support surtaclng OF as
phaltic concrete rebuilt road of this kind is US
ualIv 20 feet wide, 2 inches thick at the center
which increases to 5 inches at the edges.
In a recent contract awarded tor 81 miles OF
this type of pavement, the cost was $4,000 or
Sl8 2247O a mile Pavement Of a similar character
laid in 1921 upon old oil macadam subgrade
has proven durable and satisfactory.
The saving to the taxpayers by this method OF
road building runs into hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.
