vidual tastes, especially on whether
one prefers a large or small city
Australia's climate has few of the
extremes known in the United
States. The northern parts of Aus
tralia are subtropical and Bris-
bane population 370,500 }, the capt.
tai of Queensland, has the warmest
climate of any main city. Sydney
population 1,39S,oOO), Melbourne
G,170,0oO), Adelaide 1862, 0OO
Perth 1853, 1000 and Hobart 100000
have moderate climate, not unlike
that of California. Extreme cold OF
snow are unknown in any of the
capital cities.
@. What is the housing situation?
A. Like in the United States
there is a housing shortage. The
federal and state governments are
attacking the problem vigorously
@. Is Australia q healthy coun-
try?
A Healthy Country
A. New Zealand and Australia
are the two healthiest countries In
the world. The overall death rate
in Australia in 1914 was 9.5 per-
1000, and no other country except
New Zealand had a lower death
rate among infants. Medical stand
ards are. high and both government
and private hospitals are available
in cities and towns.
@. Can one take American money
to Australia?
A. There is no restriction on
transferring American money to
Australia, by bank draft or other
wise.
@. Should one take his automo-
bile to Australia?
A. Generally it is not economical
| to do so. An immigrant taking in
an automobile has to pay heavy
customs duty, and the freight rate
is expensive. Since in Australia
all vehicles travel on the left side OF
roads and streets, some states there
would require a permanent resi-
dent with an American car to have
the steering wheel changed over to
the right-hand side of the car.

bassy has mimeographed a set Of
questions and answers about Aus
tralia. Here is a summary of some
Of them:
@. What is the prospect of secur-
ing employment in Australia?
A. There Is no unemployment
The main problem is an acute
shortage of manpower. The gov
eminent could fill $4,000 jobs i'm
mediately if the manpower were
available. The demand principally
is for artisans of all types. Con-
struction workers are particularly
welcome. No guarantee Of employ
ment in specific professions or fields
can be given.
Climate Good
@. Are there good business open
ings?
A. 1t is impossible to specify
what openings exist, but there are
opportunities and with the growth
of population new ones will develop
The people of Australia are not
conservative. They welcome new
methods, machinery, merchandise
gadgets.
@. What are the conditions and
prospects of land settlement?
A. Great advances in farm pro-
duction were made during the wal
years, especially in the mechanical
ton of truck farms, orchards and
similar properties formerly worked
by hand. Policy of the federal and
state governments is to develop the
land, to encourage water conserva-
ton and irrigation and to supply
cheap electric power. Land prices
vary greatly, according to fertility
and accessibility of markets. Per-
sons thinking of acquiring land in
Australia are advised to accept en-
ployment for a start, to investigate
the degree of assistance offered by
the various state governments, ano
to study the problems of production
and marketing.
@. Which city has the best living
conditions?
A. That depends mainly on 1ndi.

Argonne, where he was decorated
and promoted to major.
Studied at Oxford
After the Armistice he accepted
the opportunity offered by the AEF
and studied four months at oxford
Returning to the United States, he
went to work on the Constitution as
a reporter, later going to Washing
ton for a year as correspondent. His
interest, however, lay in the bust
ness operations of the newspaper
and after returning to Atlanta he
advanced successfully to become ad-
vertising manager, business man.

manager, and few years before his
fathers death he bought the latter's
controlling interest in the paper.
After the elder Clark Howell died
in 1886, Maj. Howell, as he is known
became editor and publisher.
Now So, he holds the title of presi-
dent and publisher, having beer
succeeded as editor by the Consti-

proceeds, he paid $4,000 in cash and
assumed half of a $1,000 debt. -
The Constitutions circulation al
the time was 2,40o daily and 5000
weekly. The new owner Immediately
began to build up his staff.
On the day he took control Capt
Howell announced that Henry
Grady, the outstanding writer OF
the rival Atlanta Herald, would join
the Constitution. At Mr.. Grady's
behest he soon engaged joel
Chandler Harris, who was to be-
come famous for his Uncle Remus'
stories.
Four years later Mr.. Grady bought
quarter interest in the Constitu-
ton and became its managing
editor.
Meanwhile, Capt. Howell's son
Clark was graduated from the Uni
versity of Georgia and went to New
York to serve a journalistic ap-
premiership on the New York
Times. He later transferred to the
Philadelphia Press, where he gained
national recognition by obtaining
an exclusive interview with Samuel
j. Tilden, in which Tilden disclosed
for the first time his unalterable
determination never to run again
for the presidency.
The Paper Prospered
Returning to Atlanta in 1884, he
became night editor of the Consti-
tuition and later assistant editor
When Henry Grady died in 1889
at the age of 80, Clark Howell be-
came managing editor.
The prestige of the Constitution
which scared under Grady and joe
Chandler Harris, was carried for
ward by Clark Howell, and the
paper proSpered. In the late 1905
its dividends ranged from so to sc
fper cent annually on a 100000
capitalization, and its value in
creased tenfold.
A break in ownership, but not
in association, occurred in 1897
when Capt. Howell retired and SOLD
his interest. However, Clark Howell
was named editor In chief. and in
1900 he repurchased control with

The failure to date can be laid to
two factors. This Socialists are not
responsible for either, although
they must overcome them to survive.
The first is the well-night hopeless
economic situation in Japan. The
second is the complete dearth of
able and experienced national lead
ers. These handicaps are so widely
recognized that neither of the con-
servative parties were willing even to
try to form a government last spring.
They felt that any administration
was foredoomed.
II Katayama and his Socialist
government fall, it will be because
sincerity alone is not enough to
solve Japans economic problems.

One Ballot Box
In Each Precinct

Tallahassee, Dec. 8.-The legis-
lature did not intend to author
ize more than one ballot box
or more than one polling place
in a precinct, except where one
ballot box might not be large
enough to hold all the ballots,
according to Attorney General
j. Tom Watson.
His opinion was given in re-
ply to a question by the DeSoto
county attorney whether the
commissioners could establish "a
polling place for voting by ne
gro electors and a polling place
for voting by all other electors.
The legislature intended, I'M
der normal circumstances, that
there should be only one ballot
box, one polling place and one
set of officials to a precinct, At
torney General Watson added.

HOY! TO CASH TERMINAL LEAVE BONDS

i've Harold Kenny offers the following information on how to cash terminal leave bonds:
 Sign thebond on the reverse side using the name in the signature ex- actly as shown on the face of the bond; also show address. Have this signature certified by the Postmaster or Comm issioner in the space provided for same. Mail the bond to the bank and they in turn will draw a bank draft or cashiers check for the same. The draft or check may then be used the same as cash.
 It is suggested that the veteran forward the bond by registered mail and ask for a return receipt to safeguard aga inst loss.
