Instead of at an Many drivers regardless of the zOrdinance persist in parking their automobiles within the limited downtown parking area at an angle with the curb such as to leave their cars projecting out Into the street to within a few feet of the street car tracks with the result that when a trolley car is passing traffic is blocked.

So flagrant has this practice be- come that the Atlanta Automobile Dealers' association has seen fit to call attention to It through the advertising columns of the local newspapers the substance of its appeal being an admonition to all owners and drivers of cars to Observe the Traffic Laws. Now if the police department will give attention to this ordi- Ik nance the trouble wltt soon be remedied. A few cases in police court will bring the evIl to a sudden halt.

The bill was sent to the house. where the amendment was put to its first test and that first test proved to be the last for the house Ms composed largely of smokers all of whom stood up vigorously for the man who likes to smoke peacefully while working at his desk even though it be a government desk and there was a general shouting of Xoes when voting time came. Fewer than a score of members says the press dispatches supported the amendment. While this innocent little rider was ostensibly and by the assertion of lIe author. was designed as a protection against fire.

there was probably something else back of It. Of course every reasonable precaution against the fire hazard is always in order and commendable but there is strong likelihood that if this amendment had carried it would have been employed as a precedent by those forces of ultra- eformaUon that are aggressively engaged in a campaign against the use of tobacco. In other words it probably would have been used as tile opening wedge the camels nose so to to to be followed by more reaching legislation of the same character.

Help home by raising home supplies and buying and selling at home as tar as possible Is the well-timed advice of The Crdele Ga. Dispatch to the farmers of Crisp county.

And the advice applies to every farming section of the state. The fortunes says our Cordele contemporary that we send out for hay and corn and meat would shock the spirited progressive farmers who are loyal to Georgia it they but knew how much money Is spent on the outside. This refers to the carloads of products that could be raised at home constantly coming in tram outside sources. to towns In the farming districts. Stressing the fact that we have the soil and climate to produce the supplies for which money is sent away from home the Cordele pa- per says We must live at home.

Every farm must have Its hogs and cows. tIe chickens and gardens. This pro gram must be carried out. A prom' lie will not do. It is not a question or making surplus money in that enterprise.

It is the sheer necessity or living without the money that Is now scarcer because our staple crops are bringing lower prices. This is not Idle talk. It Is the truth. We only need the men with the forethought and determination who will see that these food and feed crops are produced. And If the plans made for great- er food production in many progressive farming sections are carried out to the letter the farm will feed itself next year and instead of being a buyer away from home the farmer will have surplus products to sell.

Have all you need Is the summing up of The Cordele Dispatch and it anybody sells do the selling yourself. That is the right way to help home.

Voted for Bonds In Spite of Disgust at Council Editor Constitution At the meeting or city council on Monday Mayor Key ca his de ciding vote in favor of having our police force managed by men who have been publicly prominent as defenders protectors and friends of convicted criminals. gamblers. crooks and whisky peddlers. At a moment of public emergency he defiantly cast aside all regard for public decency and good govern. ment and spat In the face or the Law Enforcement League or Atlanta and all law abiding citizens and honed defiance to the solemn warn' bogs or Solicitor Boykin.

Then and there I decided this Is no Urn for conservative and decent citizens men and women mothers and fathers of Atlanta to be approving a bond issue for more than. eight million dollars to be misspent by that. kind of city government which we are now enduring and with that character of a mayor as Us directing head to cut the deciding vote on any question concerning the spending or the misspending of that enormous amount of public funds. Both my wife and I and' my wife Is president of the Teacher association for our ward left hqsne feeling that we could not vote for the.

bonds though we had supported them. to the limit from the day the campaign opened. We felt that council could not longer be trusted to safely administer this fund. Jut our deep Interest In the schools and in the welfare of the city overcame what we had con. cluded to be an unsurmountple objection and so notwithstanding our complete disgust at the attitude of council and at existing administrative conditions in the city we decided to vote for the whole Issue with the hope and' confidence that at the next public election the good people of this city will be sufficiently aroused to elect a council which can safely be counted upon 0.

II Gordon St. Atlanta. Us. jfe O1c1NYE Sew York March The doom of the Herald building It. been announced.

One by on tn works of Stanford White have been ell- troyed. The airy lightness the elegance of It facade and its studied silhouette hare caused many returning travelers to lift their hats in reverence. Remember me to Herald Square" ran the popular ditty and indeed It has for years en symbol the Manbalt nee. There wa romance about the Herald building. It lurked In the grinding or the yed owls that looked down on the Gulch of Folly and the mechanical iron seen who with mighty strokee with brass hammers sounded the time on a hugs bill.

Its lure was to appealing that James Gordon Bennett la hi office in Paris- would now and then close MI desk with a snap and lie oft on the next ocean liner for New York. The Herald building will be scrapped and in its place will rise a mighty skyscraper to house hundreds of offices. The lies-aid building has had many famous visitors. Plans for the biggest news stories in history were made In the counsel room Nearly all of the prominent editors in town at one time or another were at tactiel to the Herald staff. When Bennett fired them It was proverbial that they got better posts.

There were times when an entire new editorial staff would show up Sunday morning for work. He was forever experimenting and a list of Herald Dents for the editorial staff would fill a large sized volume. One order that was never disobeyed was thr one mandlng a story about dog on the first page every Monday morning. Herald Square was honeycombed with tradition. At night It filled with odd character Old Horse and Wagon the only Chinese vagrant ever listed at headquarters held forth there after midnight.

Gold Tom who won his sobriquet by having all his teeth crowned Senator Pittman Tells Why Uniform Negotiable Act Was Killed Editor Constitution In your dally Constitution of March 7. 1921. you published an article from J. U. Men one of the Georgia commissioners on uniform laws.

In that article Mr. Merrell gives a brief history or the efforts made In the Georgia legislature to get the uniform laws enacted in Georgia and In part says I have secured. lit both houses of the last legislature the tlon of the negotiable Instruments act and the warehouse receipts act and. the explanation of their fall. ure or passage given me by my friends was that their passage was blocked at the last moment by some of the alleged third house lobbyists who were incensed because the advocates of the uniform laws had not dropped Into and aided their schemes.

So. until that bunch is killed off. it seems there is llttl hope of securing the adoption of these laws. I am a member of the present legislature and II such carried with me to the session of 1919 a short legislative program In which was the uniform negotiable Instruments act. I found that Senator J.

Q. Smith. of the seventh senatorial district contemplated the Introduction of the same act. so we jointly Introduced the above act. on the second day or the session of 1919 and Immediately passed the act through the senate without a single dls' senting vote explaining at time that it was an act already passed the American union except Georgia and explaining further that the commercial world war demanding its passage that the American Bankers' association and the i can Bar association had each in conventions assembled proved the act and asked for its passage in Georgia the last state.

The act was Immediately transmitted to the house and was delay. ed there due partly to Its length and later to certain legislative comity due one member by another. It happened this way Senator J. Q. Smith and I fought upon the floor of the senate an act which our constituents had asked us ti fight which act I do not feel lusti' fled to name and an act which we belie was a.

child conceived and born In the lobby. The challenge immediately reached us that unless the act. Which we fought. was allowed to pass the senate. all acts of whatsoever nature that we had Introduced would be hunted down and outlawed by the father or proponent of the killed act.

We explained that the uniform negotiable Instrument act was not a product of our own. but. was an act conceived by and nurtured In and out or the best brain of the land and came In answer to a cry of the commercial world and our answers were It it not our own. We have introduced it' to bring Georgia in line with the other states of the union. It you want to kill It to force our hands and votes upon and for a measure which our constituency opposes.

you will have to kill It. We do not propose to rape our consciences and betray our constituency that you may nurture a lobby child. So the uniform negotiable Intru' ment act was killed for spite and revenge against Individuals. but that spite and revenge dart failed to hit the Individual but hit the state of Georgia and commerce in general. Let us hope that.

the next legislature will see to It that there shall be no revenge deaths" to acts like these that are so greatly demanded by those who have studied the needs of our people and our country. C. C. PITTJIAN. Senator or second District.

Ing to their statement the street car was the first thing that presented the opportunity after their Plot was Mrs. Tubbs. mother of Arthur Eugene was present at the trial.

Candles stuck In bottles are no longer permitted to furnish light for serious thinkers in the Greenwich Village sanctuaries of mental uplift.

Candles are old-fashioned and homey and take on back to the days when It was possible to get a big meal for 40 cents. Thus the visitor to the village was off his guard and ordered recklessly.

Up to recently writes a layman we were dependent upon faddists almanacs health cults and patent medicine advertisements for our knowledge of hygiene. When we employed physicians they gave us dope Instead or knowledge. When we went to the hospital the physicians instructed the nurses not the patient. Then the dootors broke into print After that I got a crumb here and there and am now. at 48 in perfect health thousrh1 I had often been under the doctors care and in hospital.

AU the people. continues this lay- man are interested In personal and public health. The new Sarah Gamps are commencing to quote Dr. Brady and similar writers. What evangels of fresh air exercise child nourishment and sound sanitation we will have when Stlrey gets her head straightened out her heart has usually been right and she is always Industrious.

The doctors should not. despair or us all when we show abysmal Ig- noranee of hygiene. physiology or medical ethics. No one knew these things but the doctors. and not until the past few years have they made any effort to-instruct they have left us to the tender mercies of the quack and legendary information.

I sometimes suspect the doctors themselves didn't know much about health until lately. If they had real knowledge of. hy glens they kept It well under the bushel and never by any chance kicked It. over. More or lees solid truth Is what this layman saye.

Only doesn't carry on to the logical end. Lets finish the story brethren and us. tern. About the time the doctors broke Into print" a whole pack of newfangled healing systems likewise broke In and the prononents and practitioners of the new schools broke In. and the proponents and kept eternally at it although every drop or Ink they used cost them a handsome penny.

whereas we doctors not only do not have to pay for privilege but some of us are actually paid for giving the peo' ple Information or Instruction on health. According to the principles of medlcal ethics one time called the code or medical ethics section 3. chapter II. Physicians should warn the public against the devices practiced and the false pretensions made by charlatans which may cause injury to health and loss of life. And according to section 2 chapter II.

Physicians as good citi' zeus and because their professional training especially qualifies them to render this service. should glvs advice concerning the- public health of tbq community. There still prevails amongst us something like our layman describes we keep our knowledge well under the bushel. whereas the time has come when the public should be enlightened by physicians.

Special The Interstate commerce commission announced today that It would not reduce the existing hlga freight rates on fruits and vegetables from Georgia to eastern points. The an nouncernent came In a letter to Sen. ator Harris from the chairman of the comnlissbon Edgar E- Clark. In the letter which the senator addressed to the commlisioi he discussed primarily the very high rites particularly of peaches wnterciel- on and vegetables I told the commission that the present prohibitive rates would mean ruin to Georgia industries which have al ready suffered severely i tcaae of the depressing lu prices ou agr. cul tural products.

In Decesube. ta senator and the commission ex changed correspondence concerning the high freight and passenger rates and reference is made to mat ds cussion in the letter receivl today from Chairman Clark. follows Clarks Letter. I wish It were possible for me to write you encouragingly in response to your letter the 3rd in stant but I do not see tlia I can add to what I said in my letter to you of December 22 on the same subject wit. the probability Or reductions in freight rates.

The situation is not so tfood now as It was in December. Ihere has been quite a substantial falUng off In general traffic. The average operating ratio of the railroad ci the United States Is something over SO. That means that for every dollar that the ralroads earn ttey pay out in operating expenses more than 90 cents. Due to the narrow margin between revenue an operating epenses and fixed charges and a good many are not even earning their operating expenses.

Inder these circumstances It it dlffi. cult to find an argument favor of reduced rates unless in lngarce In which it can be shown hat the rates are stifling the traffic anrt that lower rates which would titI be compensatory 3 effect a movement from which there would be some return.

SIMOJfDS. Washington. March In the ex. amlnaaUon of the preselit phase of the latest European crisis It Is essential to recognize at once that while the new Invasion of Oerma- may not in. fact.

mean war. not only is war a possibility but the preliminary military operation strike atthe center. of all possible German resistance were war to result. This is the case because the occupation of the Rhine gateway to the Ruhr region Is. In reality the first long step toward the occupation of that great industrial region In which are situated the Krupp works and the other great establishments which would have to supply Germany with the larger fraction of her mechanical means for defending herself.

Since the Silesian district Is now in allied hands and allied garrisons there could promptly be reinforced by Polish divisions near at hand. the Ruhr Is the single available source for German munitions. Going hack nearly seven years. It will be recalled that one of the arguments most frequently advanced by the Germans in defense of their Invasion of Belgium was the fact that allied advance through Belgium would bring the enemy dose to the great Essen district and thus to the source or German military supplies as wen of German coal. the bass of all qerntan war Industry.

Decisive Thrust. It is plain then that the occupation or the gateway to the Ruhr while having the character of a purely punitive and political ges- tore In reality represents a decisive thrust at the vital center of any possible German resistance. Granted that Germany Is incapable of sustained military effort. that she has been deprived of the larger part of her machinery her heavy artillery her aircraft and even a measurable fraction or her field guns conceding that any resistance would be necessarily weak and fu. tile It Is the elimination of in dustrial machinery which clinches the situation and insures her ap proximate helplessness.

German policy so far as It has revealed itself up to the present mo- ment. does not suggest any thought of mllitaryyesistance. On the con. trary there Is every Indication that the Germans mean to employ passive resistance but to submit and at the same time cease to produce coal for the allies and demonstrate that mere force cannot compel reparation payment. The German gamble is based on the calculation that the self-interests or many na.

tions will In the end bring to Ger- many foreign support against French policy. which must otherwise end In paralyzing the German markets for the rest of the world and thus add to the economic chaos of the world. But a policy of passive resistance is after all a dangerous expedient. We have all seen in recent months how Irish passive resistance has in the end led to something approximating- war. When foreign armies are sent into countries as armies or occupation incidents are almost inevitable.

Incidents which amount to conflicts to street rioting to ambushes and. the like and it Is clear also that given the. temper of the French quite as much as of the Germans Incidents can only lead to far graver developments to re prisals of the sort which the Ger- man gave final illustration of in his still unforgotten invasions of Belgium and France. The real truth is that the whole allied policy British as wen as American American while we re malned a party to the world settle- ment British ever since has brok- en down In the face of German re slstance. A situation has arisen In which the British and for that mat- ter the Italians and Belgians who are also parties to the London conference have had.

to choose between going along with the French and ex ercising such moderating influence as they may be able or stepping aside and leaving the French with absolute freedom or action and with an additional bitterness growing out or their feeling of Isolation. Guerrilla Warfare. Whether We are to have one more demonstration such as took place last summer when the French occupied Frankfort a demonstration which had no serious consequences end was followed by a German submission or whether we are to have a new' world crisis something approximating guerrilla warfare with all the Incidental destructions and devastations with all the attendant dislocation of world business is now a matter of pure chance. We are. In fact at the mercy of some chance affray some local disturbance which will lead to a new Irish situation.

with all the expansion of the field and of the Importance which the relative sizes of Germany and Ireland make Inevitable. And even If the present occupation don not provoke the deluge. we are manifestly only at the beginning for Germany has frankly adopted a course which can only lead to new crises and new perils. The treaty of Versailles has completely broken down. The settlement of Paris has ended In a fresh and complete unsettlement Force and fore.

lone has been proven the ol method of collecting reparations and enforcing German disarmament and since thirty years is the shortest period anyone has suggested for the completion of German payment. we seem doomed to lace full generation of the exeicise of force.

March I. Physical resistance on the part of Germany La of. course. possible either now or In the near future to. an advance of allied troops to enforce reparations.

The popular ides in om countries that Germany has a se cretly organized army to take the field again and to renew war on the old scale an utter delusion. I saw' the German war machine broken to- bits and the wreckage of It abandoned or surrendered. So it remained though beyond- doubt Germany has hundreds of thousands of men sun armed with rifles and machine guns who could suppress or lead uprisings In their- own. country and engage In a serious form of guerrilla or anareblal warfare. That is quite a different thing from endeavoring to oppose the military power of France.

Belgium and Great Britain as established on the Rhine with masses heavy artillery and full equipment of iv cry kind. At the word fire. many Industrial cities would be delivered to destruction though no such word will be given. Two Aspects. I regard this matter of the allied advance from two different aspects.

In one way it may do no harm and ctearthe air of mystery andcamoui tinge besides bringing to the Ocr- man people a sharp reminder as to' who won the war. That reminder. is needed. not-by the mass of work- en and their women who know their ruin and have to pay the price of It but the junkers and the big industrial magnates who are still trying to evade the penalty of their nil acts and trying by every ti flee to resist the treaty to whirls. their government Is Pledged By trying to split the allied powers and- especially by trying to arouse American sympathy on their behalf.

they have hoped and still hope to- sustain a bluff. For those people there Is still no argument but the proof of force. I feel no sense of mercy for them. There is a second- aspect howev er which must be considered and on that account that I have some doubts as to the advantages of the. advance.

EeoBomle View. It Is an economic aspect not without a spiritual IntlilenceiThe questions I ask. myself re First will an allied advance enable Germany to pay the indemnities more promptly and more fully it It Is possible for her to pay the mount demanded and. secondly i this policy likely to demootllte hatred which 1 one Of the urgent needs of the world am not satisfied that even if the elites established headquarters at Berlin And. controlled all German finance and trade they would be able to eeure the full payment of indemnifies for that-de- pends utterly upenrtr tbewllhiug and continuous industry.

German workers. It they adopted passive resistance there would no great payments. If they revolted or weakened In their work there would be no remedy. If they break Into anarchy all Europe will. feelthe hurt and be stricken by new disease.

The state of the world Is. in my pinion. so serious that we must. consider these things scientifically even though vengeance may not be enjoyed nor the strict measure- of justice satisfied. I ins told by some great financiers that Germany cannot pay all asked of her though the can pay much.

I believe Iso that the German factory hands are undernourished with less fats than the body needs. If these statements are true compulsion to the utter limit Is danger- oils to Europe. in need of recovery and economic revival everywhere. Then again the people yearn for forgetfulness of hate and for progress towards general peace and moral health. This advance necessary as it may be sets the clock back to something like war.

tube and stirs the old flames of. passion which were dying down. That I regret. though I end by saying that what Germany can pay In reason and Justice she must pay and be compelled to pay because France has suffered rnorft by many times though Germany was vanquished. SAVANNAH POLICE ADVISED OF THEFT OF FLORIDA PLANE Savannah.

GL March S. Spe cial. Police of Savannah received. this unique advice last night "Orlando- Fla. Stolen here Saturday night.

Laglish Avro aeroplane with Lnrone rotary motor. aluminum sound nose new board along Inner edge of lower tip of right upper wing painted red arrest panics hold plane notify us. Thieves In Florida may. it Is suggested be tired of looting banks stealing Liberty bonds and maybe retorting to the highway robbery by the holdup plan for airmen. Two young Macon men were hcM Monday In that city charged with the theft of an aeroplane In Florida.

Macon. Ga. March I. Special Dr. James Black- former Jlacon physician who was arrested last year on a statutory charge and later released on bond of 100 was brought back from Fort Wayne.

md. today and lodged in the Bibb county' jail to await trial. He was' surrendered by his bonds alleged that Dr. Black advertised for a stenographer and that a year girl applied for the position and was employed. A warrant was later sworn out for' Dr.

Black by the father of the girl alleging that the physician had violated the statutory laws of the state. years In the Interests of clylliza' Hon. or world order. Peace ockt Even more- than because of ollci- tnde for Germany. allied statesmen nays sought to preserve peace and prevent new destruction.

Despite their efforts. the German has made their labors Impossible. Now regretfully British and Italian statesmen. have been compelled to stand aside and leave to French soldiers the work- of completing what was it seems only begun in 118. And when the ctatemea give way to the soldiers It.

is idle to describe what results a anything- but' war. Its soy judgment. granted that the present incident may yet find a 1 adjustment. It will prove- none the less the first step In a new struggle. Now.
