Georgia To h o
Chain Gang Fugitiyes
IN Spite of Laws

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. % (CNA)-
Georgia chain gang wardens re-
instated "shoot to kill" orders for
fugitives this week and asked re-
storation of the whipping post for
prisoners who attempt to escape.
Votes were taken at a meeting
called by Governor E. d. Rivers to
check escapes which he said had
reached 'scandalous proportions"
100 in August.
Whether whipping could be res
tored legally was a question. It was
abolished in the administration of
Thomas w. Hardwick, as COVER
nor in 1923. Hardwick pointed out
then that it violated the Georgia
Constitutions Bill of Rights which
provides neither Punishment be-
yond the limits of the State nor
whipping, as a punishment shall be
allowed.
Rivers indicated that such a little
thing as legality will not be per-
mitted to bar resumption of the
practice. He said Attorney Gener-
al M. j. Yeomans would decide. IF
he rules we can return to whipping,
III cooperate with you and put it
on trial under certain restrictions"
the Governor promised the chain
gang officials.
The State opened a woodland
"Alcatraz" for chain gang prison.
crs near Reidsvill, Ca, last week.
The prison, described "as near es-
cape proof as you can get it," was
built with Federal aid.

Union Refuses to Support Jim Crow Role
W. ]. Barber Says
Lower Rates Increase
Use of Gas Heating

New, lower gas rates are res
ponsible for a rapidly increa ing
use of automatic gas eating in
Omaha, according to w. J. Barber,
assistant to the general manager,
Metropolitan Utilities District.
A large percentage of the new
homes o under construction and
those completed this fall viii have
the advantages of completely au-
tomato gas heating.
Besides the lower gas rates,
which went into effect in January
Of this year, new gas heating equip
ment is so highly efficient in opera
ton that operating costs have been
progressively reduced. These rea-
sons, plus the advantages of care
free operation, greater cleanliness
and uniform comfort, is win
ming the approval of builders, and
many who are remodeling as well
as those who have decided to con-
vert existing equipment to gas.
The modern gas furnaces have
provision for humidification forced
circulation, and air filtering.
Dry, parched air, in which most
Of us live during the winter months,
is believed by physicians to be one
of the greatest single contributing
cause to the common cold, which
is said to cause an annual economic
loss running into the millions. Such
air has an Initiative effect upon
the delicate membranes of the
throat, lungs and nasal passages,
which prepares them for the at
tack of the as yet undiscovered
germ causing common cold.
Adequate artificial humidity in
home heating, such as that found
in modern gas heating equipment,
viii eliminate in homes, at least,
the principal cause of winter ills.
In order to acquaint Omaha re-
sidents with the actual cost of
automatic gas heat, applied to
different homes, the Metropolitan
Utilities District is offering a free
gas heating service. The Utilities
District heating engineers will
make a complete, careful survey of
a home, prepare recommendations
as to the type Of gas heating equip
ment suited to the particular re-
quirement, and estimate accurately
just how much it will cost to heat
with gas. It seems that many PEG
pie r under the impression that
gas heat is expensive and the Dis
trict is taking this means of de-
monstrating that homes may be
heated cheaply and efficiently with

 Jim Pike nodded. "You ain't really ever had a vacation un- til you've taken. one in your own little boat-sail or power-with no schedules to make except maybe the tide. Wear what you want, Eat when you want. Just let the world go hang"
 Tt sounds nice" Kay said, after she had climbed up to the bridge and eripped the wheel. She tossed her head back in dioutous smile. "But we don't know anything about navigation"
 "Shucks, you don't need navi- gation in inland waters like these around here. can teach you some piloting how to read . chart ard lay out a course, and use the compass, and know what the buoys mean. You got common sense, I can see that. ri teach you what you ought to know while you're getting the boat ready"
 "B-but, you see, Mfr. Pike, I'm not sure we can afford to trouble you"
 "No trouble at all. I'm happy when T. can get somebody intro duced to the greatest sport in the world. I got a hunch you girls will take to water like the we'll known duck.

 obediently Kay. Melita, and Priscilla followed down the board walk toward the water. Pike led them to a vast outdoor moorage, walked half way along one of the runways, and pointed. "There she is, ladies"
 The trio stared. They hadn't known what to expect but the very word yacht" in the sttor. ney's letter had connoted some- thing a bit grander than the chinook" She wasn't large, and she wasn't particularly natty. Un. schooled in pleasure craft, the girls were seeing all her bad points and none of her good ones.
 Needs 6 plank orr two, some paint and polish, and a bilge cleaning" Jim Pike explained.
 "Did Uncle Ben really cruise in that hoat?" Kay inquired.
 "fIe certainly did" averred Jim Pike. And I and two others were with him. She'll sleep four easy. Those settees to port and starr board in the cabin fold into upper and lower berths. She's husky and a 40-footer is ideal for you girls. Plenty of cruising on inside waters around here"

You can't neglect them and then ex- pect them to be ready and waiting when you're in the mood.
