IN NATIONAL MAGAZINES

Atlanta, Ga.-"Not Magic-Just
Mind and Muscle" is the title of an
advertisement of the Southern Rail
way System, appearing in the Octo-
Der isues Of a numbe rof leading
magazines with nationwide circula-
ton. This is the first of series OF
advertisements to be run by the
Southern for the purpose of telling
the story of the South's wonderful
progress sand present day opportuni-
ties to people living outside the

The text of the first advertisement
reads as follows:
"The South-the nations winter
fairgrounds setting new high
marks in the story of American
achievement. For, notable as are the
South's friendly climate and genial
hospitality, it is on her farms and in
her workshops of industry that these
marks are being made. 80
'In the last twenty-five years the
value of things made in the South
has increased tivefold; and the value
of things grown fourfold.
"Such growth and progress sug-
gest the magic wand, but it is the
magic of mind and muscle-of hard
work intelligently applied. The peo-
pie of the South are making good
use of the rich and varied resources
that nature has bestowed upon them.
"But the industrial and agricul-
tural progress of the South is still in
the first act. The years of greatest
opportunity and achievement lie

BRINGING PARENTS TO
ACCOUNT

1t is a common and reasonable as
sumption that parents often share
a moral responsibility for the conduct
of their children. But that the pa
rents should be held legally account
able is an unusual view. 1t is the
position, however, of Joseph Nicolai,
of Chicago, assistant states attorney,
who has bee min charge of prosecu-
ton of large numbers of cases in
volving attacks upon young girls.
This official has declared that parents
whe permit girls under Is years old
to be on the streets az night without
proper supervision are helping to
make the attacks possible and adds
that eff parents are negligent they
should be prosecuted for contributing
to delinquency"
Some parents, no doubt, may be
inclined to resent such an interpreta-
ton of responsibility. They may re-
gard it as an intrusion upon their
own affairs, holding that the degree
of supervision they exercise over
their children is the proper concern
only of themselves. That position is
tenable only when the safety of the
children, the welfare of the public OF
the maintenance of law and order
are not involved. But where these
elements enter and it seems they
were in part at least, feature of the
Chicago case, there can be no ques
ton that responsibility should extenc
beyond the young people. A wide
acceptance and application of tn.
view of this official would help tt
bring needed awakening as to the
duties of those who have assumed
responsibility for children, bat fai
to exercise it.-Kansas' City Star.

PENSACOLA PUTS ONE
CENT TAX ON GASOLINE
FOR REPAVENC STREETS

Pensacola, Fla.--Every gallon of
gasoline sold in the city of Pensacola
will yield tn Getty one cent in special
tax, according to the provisions Of an
ordinance unanimously passed by the
city commissioners Tuesday at spe-
cial meeting, after the tax measure
had hung fire since January.
The special one-cent tax will be
paid by the wholesaler for every gal
lon sold, but the consumer will be re-
quired to add one cent to the quoted
wholesale or retail price at the filing
stations.
In explaining the ordinance, Mayor
Bayliss made it plain that the speci-
fic object of the tax was to provide a
fund for replacing the Objectionable
wood block paving with paving of a
more substantial type. Many streets
in the city were paved with the wood
block during an aldermanic admins
tration years ago, but it has never
given satisfaction. On the contrary,
following every shower of conse-
quence, whole segments of the wood
block paved street would float out of
place and extra labor had to be called
at times to make streets passable.
One treatment after the other had
been tried out, it was stated, all with
out having given great deal of sat
isfaction. Then the special tax was
resorted to.
A statement by the mayor to the
effect that the citizens had paid once
for street paving and it was not fair
to pay for the mistakes of former
administration in the matter of
choice for street paving had the eff
feet of drawing support for the ordi-
nance, and this had the effect of les
sening the growing opposition to the
special tax. With the passage and
operation of the special gasoline tax,
it is asserted that enough funds may
be derived in a year to completely re-
place the block paving. The ordi-
nance will then be in line for repeal.

take care of surplus products, after
which attention will be given to man

prised when they learn how mucf
raw material of various kinds are
available for manufacturing pur
poses.
The project is to be handled joint
