BRONX STARTLED
 BY MOUN7A|NEERS
Marble Family Depart Leaving
 Shocked Community

New York. Oct. 21 tUP)-It's a tradition on Broadway that the mountain folk Of West Virginia are d simple. upright folk content with one wife, about 17 children and a few hounds, and that they know little Of the wicked complexities Of city voraIs.
 Mir. James A. Marble. Of Martins burg. was on his way back 10 the mountains today leaving several New Workers convinced that the mountain folk may or may not be simple, but they know what they want.
 Marble wheezed into town a little moro than a week ago in fiivver held together with string and old wire. He had with him wife an1 three children.
 A kind-hea. ed policeman who found them huddled in the tiiNNcr on Bronx street. disconsolatcly munching dry rolls. asked how come.
 Warbie explained that he was a farm hand. that dry rolls were the hest he could afford on the s6.c5 a day he had earned in West Virginia, and that he had come to the city to make an honest living. The policeman who makes the high cost or city living look dizzy on the princely incom" of s4.4? 8 iav, was nlled with sympathy. So was q Bronx clergyman to whom : tn. plight Of the Marbles was put as well as the Bronx Lions club. After speeches at club luncheon on the duties of New Workers to- ward destitute mountain folk. sev- eral hundred dollars was raised and Marble vas found a job.
 Then Archie Dunlap, also Of Mar tinsburg. showed up and disrupted what ought 10 have been happy ending. He announced that the wife who accompanied Marble was not Marbles wife, but Dunlap's, and that no more than two Of the cf1- dren rightfully bore the name of Marble.
 Marble and the wife were put In prison on an ugly charge. The chil- dran wont to the Children's Aid so- ciety. It all looked like an unhappy city ending. where codes Of morals are strict and the wrongdoer pays | heavily.
 The courts. however. heard the whole story and stretched tn" code. 1 The wife was handed over 10 her riehtful husband. as well as one oi 1 tn children, which he identified as his. The clergyman and the Lions I club dug into their pockets once more. Dnnla and Mrs. Dunlap were bought tickets home. Marble was bought s15 worth of gasoline.
 Ky train and auto they started back for tho mountains. all un' scrambled again. but l"avir~ clnrrvman and several HronX lIon' sliehtlv scrambled in their ldea' about morntain folk.

 His name was Powers and he was a furrier.
 Would you like fur coat? Come to my office at All Fifth ave- nue at four o'clock" read the note he slipped to her between the to- mato salad and the coffee.
 Emily should have given him q disdainful look of course, and thrown the note in with the soiled napkins. All the story books pre- scribe that. But Emily reads The New Yorker and knows her tomato salads.
 She went 10 the furrier's office, She tried on coats. She fell in love with a beautiful one priced at s5oo.
 Its yours" said Powers, and whispered in her ear.
 sir, how dare you"' gasped Emily and started for the door. In her indignation she forgot 10 re move the coat.
 Powers told the police she had stolen it. She told the district at torney her story and the charge was dropped.
 So naturally Emily started suit for $50. .0Oo-of which s@5. .no0 was for false arrest and s@5,ooo because she said Powers made advances to her.
 A jury yesterday awarded her six cents for islander because Powers said she stole the coat and nothing for the alleged advances.
 And, as was pointed ont previous ly. Emily still has the coat.

by the State court, ordering the
headquarters of the railroad moved
to Smithville, Texas, charged the
Bailey law firm with sharp prac.
tees" in preparing the States case
for presentation to the highest
court in the land.
On his feet in a moment, the fiery
Texan declared Ito put 1t mildly.
the charges are not true He
said he resented the charges. not
because he feared them. but be.
cause they reflected on his son.

The Georgia Power Company brings
under one management practically all
the properties in Georgia controlled by
the Southeastern Power and Light Com
pany, and by SO doing co-ordinates all the
power forces formerly isolated, into one
vast system that performs it's benefits
with equal force for every community
served, large or small
AS the press and business leaders have
repeatedly pointed out-this consolida-
ton means greater service to every COM
munity; it means that dependable, con-
slant electric power will be available to
sections previously without electric serv-
ice; it means a closer union between
Georgia's various sections-it means q
vast stride toward the day when every
one will have the same supply of electric
energy formerly available to only the
larger centers.
In brief the consolidation Of these
forces starts Georgia on a new industrial
era, for now, as never before, any one Of
more than $50 communities may offer
industry an abundant supply Of deper1-
dable hydro-electric energy.
Ten millions of dollars of new capital
will be required each year for improve
ment and expansion of the company's
services-a great store of outside capital
coming into the state each year to help
build on Georgias firm foundation of
natural resources, climate, labor and
transportation.
