Competition for Jobs, Plus Negroes Superior Skill, Leads to Enmity, Ob- servers Find.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug gS JF)-Ul- innate solution Of the negro prob lem. now threatening 10 disturb the peace Of Atlanta and perhaps other southern communities, rests largely among the laboring classes of white men. in the considered opinion of numerous students.
 The problem has is genesis, such men as pr. Will W, Alexander O. he commission on interracial CO., operation believe Tn the competition between negroes and white laborers.
 AS long as the negro IS loafng and singing on Beala street in Memphis, or fishing his livelihood out Of the bayous of Louisiana, h4 IS hardly considered problem. IL 5 when he goes to work in compe- tltton with white men that resent nent seems to grow,
 If one will think back d mo- nent' said pr. Alexander. he can recall that up to 1880 the negro was the worker who was trained and became skilled. He was taught 10 be a brick mason, carpenter, 9 farmer, or skilled nurse or serv- ant or cook.
 About 40 per cent Of the white population owned no slaves. Gener- ally it made its living as best it could. but because the slaves did the work Of the great plantations and performed the important tasks Of the laboring man, the non-slavo owning white was not trained in th= trades.

 When an alarm comes in, by throwing a switch, the man in charge of the telephone switchboard at fire headquarters would throw all lights on amber and hold them there until he was ready to release them. It only awaits word from the fro commissioners to complete the job, Sergeant King stated.

 Hence it is that when business is depressed and there is unemploy ment, and particularly when the white see greater ployment among those of his race than among his colored competitors, it requires but little to fan the fire of hatred into f1ame-and we have sometimes tragedy.
 So the question is economic as we'll as social. The negro perhaps doesn't understand it particularly, but he has a philosophy and he ac- capts it.
 Whites Need Leadership
 Solution lies chiefly with the white man. What he needs is lead ership and it is dismally lacking now among the working whites. And while he waits for leadership his problem IS increasing, for he is suf- tering the more from the causes of unemployment and from economic changes general over the country.

 Education will help. The work of intellectuals, and of thinking men will help. The press Of tho south has done and is doing a tre- mendously valuable work, The church is aiding.

GERMAN PRISONERS TOLD
 WAR OVER, RETURN HOME
Learned of Arn1istice Only Last Year, Say Men Who Were Held
 in Siberia.

Berlin, Aug. 28 (UP)-A tale of two German war prisoners who have just returned from Siberia, having learned only early last year that the war was over, was carried from Breslau by the Berlinger Tageblatt yesterday.
 The prisoners, named kutz and Johann Mischalski, reached their native towns in Eastern Silesia after IS months journeying on foot from Northern Siberia, the dispatch said.
 When they heard by chance last year that the war had ended ten years before, the two, with third prisoner named Misdralski, trudged most of the way to Moscow. Then they made their way to Kovno and Warsaw. Misdralski collapsed and died near Novno.
 The two told authorities that other German prisoners still are in Siberia.

CHANEY BELIEVED
 ALL MANKIND GOOD
Tried to Show Best in All
 His Roles

Hollywood. Calif, Aug, 2S.-(UP) Back of the distorted features which a vast movie public associated with the name of Lon Chaney lay a kindly philosophy which few who saw him in his grotesque roles knew about.
 In one of his last if not his last interview-he spoke freely because it concerned his views on what he called his guiding principles.
 In it the actor revealed a surpris- ing secret back of his repeated roles as a misshapen and frequently hideous victim of mans cruelty--to himself Or others,
 His credo; T don't know if I have succeeded in leaving this impression with the public, but l play every character with the definite idea that no matter how bad or distorted the man portrayed may be, he is funda- mentally good"
 No man is entirely devoid of good. At some moment every criminal murderer and thief has had the word of God on his lips, with an unspoken prayer behind it.
 As for my endeavors to portray good in the hearts of sinful men, ] believe that to radiate goodness is the greatest art in the world. If that light finally gloNs in a sin-scarred | heart. so much better the proof ot an all pervading goodness" l Chaney spoke with sincerity. Tc l that small circle Of intimate friends who knew of the actors perpetua. i kindnesses to the unfortunate ones whom he contacted, his views were no surprise.

BALTIMORE. June ga motor

The decision was handed down in

excess OF 100 miles an hour are
provided for in highway plans
Capt. Irving and a great many
other experts in the motor world
believe there will be evolved as a
margin of safety" a highway on
which Capt. Irving might try out
a machine capable of 800 miles an
hour or better. At present the
long, hard-packed stretch of sand
at Daytona Beach is the best
place for super-speed trial, and
even that is not at its best all the
time.
To the factors of speed and
safety there are a lot of other
considerations to be added, none
OF them really minor ones. The
class of traffic the super-highway
OF the future should accommodate
is vital factor, experts believe.
1nsteal of joining the metropolis
with all of the small towns on the
way, the Super-highway must
avoid the small towns, keep to the
wide open spaces, if super-speed,
as it is to be regarded tomorrow,
is to be attained. This would take
the farmers with their produce,
the afternoon pleasure motorist,
the salesman making every ham

Dependence on roadside information
is one of the greatest causes of an
noyance and inconvenience during the
touring season, according to the Dis
trict OF Columbia division of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
The American Automobile ASSocia-
ton pointed out that with a network
OF highways extending in all directions
and with conditions on them, because
OF construction, etc, changing from
day to day, 1t is almost imperative that
the motor vacation be planned in an
orderly way.
The handling of the Nations motto.

movement OF trains and requires the
attention of experts on routing and
road conditions.
In the past" says the statement,
car owners have been hesitant to con-
suit maps, due to their unfamiliarity
with them and the trouble of folding.
However. highway maps are now greatly
simplifled and for main-travel high
ways route cards can be secured from
motor clubs.
The modern map also designates
points of interest as well as a choice
OF routes and are kept up to the minute.
In addition, the American Automobile
Association publishes detour maps twice
each month, giving all detours on prin-
cipal highways and besides saving zine

TO GOLF AND OTHER SPORTS
More Than 80 Per Cent of Linksmen Own
Cars, While Others Ride to and
From Courses With Others.

Others use the automobile TO convey
them TO the scene Of other sports.
During the Summer the beaches are
populated with men and women enjoy
ing swimming, so that now it makes
little difference where a beach Is To-
Gated as long as it is desirable place
for swimming, and as long as 1t is
within thousand miles Of where a
motorist happens to be. People own
ing automobiles think very little Of
travelling as far as a thousand miles
to enjoy their vacation on a lake II
they are specially interested in swim
ming and II the lake has a unique
appeal to them as a swimming place.
What has been said of golf applies
eight or nine months of the year In
the northern part of the United States
and throughout the year in the south
ern part. What has been said of swim
ming applies In the main to a briefer
period and to time of hotter weather.
What has been said of these sports
could be applied to all Summer sports
and to many Winter sports as well.
