ALL THAT UNNECESSARY NOISE.
Since the advent of the automobile, prominence of
1 jazz music and the so-called wild-age of youth, the
country has gone noise mad, most of which is entirely
useless and out of place.
A motorist who will not even sound his klaxon as
he rushes by you on the highway will blow it Without
any cause whatever as he rides down the street past
midnight or when he is caught in a tra^fic jam where
no one pays any attention Whatever to such a thing as
a horn.
Speaking of the present "noise age” .the New York
Times has the following to say editorially:
“In ho previous age has the din been so hideous
and so universal as It id today.' Since the war the
.noises.that torture and shatter the nerves and sap the
health of the community have grown more intoler
able every year, pari passu with the steady increase
in the speed, which improperly used, kills and maims
■ tiie body. • For it is the passion for hurry that nine-
- tenths of the .mischief is due. The modern Franken-
steins who have evolved and developed the internal-
combustion engine have created a monster which,
though an invaluable servant when under effective
control, may prove in careless or incapable hands a
tyrannous and destructive Robot . . . .
“Foremost among the offenders are the great mass
of heavier types of commercial vehicles, whether
motor-driven or not—traction-engines, trailers, tram-
cars, omnibukes, motor-coaChes, lorries and drays—
which hoar and clang and throb and thunder along
.the streets and roads, arid even the narrow lanes »f
the whole country, shaking the houses l>y the way-
side to their foundations as they go, and in many
cases adding to the chorus of discordant noises due
to their bulk and weight and their too, too solid tiies
. a wholly unnecesary obligato of the groaning and rat
tle of loose, gears, loose parts, loose chains, arid loose-
- ly packed freights, to say nothing pf the .maddening
grunts and hoots of their horns, the sound of Which
not even the hoarse whir of the pneumatic drill can
drown. With vehicles of this type, running in urban
districts, the problem is in fact almost wholly con
cerned with the nuisance caused by the noise and
vibration which they set up; in the more crowded
streets, thanks to the watchful eye of the police,
the instinct of self-preservation, and the skill and
experience of most or their drivers, instances of
reckless and dangerous driving are on the whole
comparatively rare. It is different with the motor-
vehicles, light or heavy, private or commercial, which
tour the countryside. Here, .outside the towns, in
cases without number the lust for speed, aggravated
by the temptation of the more open roadB, leads to
a constant disregard for the nerves and lives of other
people that is fast becoming a criminal habit. In
the mad desire to hurry from one place to another
furious drivers and riders of cars, lorries, motor-
cOaches, and motorcycles dash round corners and
aeross highways and byways, cut into moving lines of
traffic at blind beqds or on inclines, and generally
break all the obviriuS rules of safety first, without a
thought for the waste of human life.”
THE STORY OF JEB STUART
Biographers lately have taken to a fresh consider
ation of picturesque figures in American history. The
result has been a number of highly interesting books.
From Andrew Jackson to Kit Carson, the striking,
colorful men of a few generations ago are being
pictured anew for us.
Beftu-e this very praiseworthy custom posses, we
would >|ike to see some Clever writer try his hand at
a biography of one of the most dashing Americans
who ever lived—Jeb Stuart, famous cavalry leader of
the Southern Confederacy.
Stuart wore a great plume in his hat and carried a
shining sWord. He used his cavalry as a rapier to
tickle, annoy and confuse the ponderous armies of
the north. His thrilling exploits were legion; time
and again he rode completely around the Union army,
once stopping at a federal supply base to send a tele
gram to the Union quartermaster-general complain
ing that the quality of the mules furnished the north
ern army was very bad.
Stuart’s' career ended where it should have, to
make the story complete. He died on the field of bat
tle. To date we have not found an adequate biog
raphy of him—nothing to compare with Allen Tate's
Stonewall Jackson, or Sir Fredeick Maurice’s Lee.
The job needs to be done.
A. LESSON IN LIFE SAVING.
Three-year old Freddie Eaton of Boston is alive
today only because his mother and his grandfather
are people of extraordinary energy and decision.
Freddie tumbled in the water of Dorchester Bay
while playing with other children on a deserted dock.
One of the children ran a, Quarter of a mile to the
boy’s home and told Mrs. Eaton. She ran at top
speed to the water, jumped in without stopping to
remove her heavy clothing, swam to her son’s float-'
ing body and brought him ashore.
On the dock was waiting the boy’s grandfather,
Seth Eaton, aged 83. The boy was unconscious and
had stopped breathing. The grandfather began
first aid measures. For half- an hour Jb®y seemed
without effect. Then at last, the boy’s eyes flickered
open, a flush began to appea? in Hm cheeks—and he
lived. The grandfather promptly picked him up and
ran the quater-mile distance to the house, where the .
mother called a doctor.
Today Freddie is as well as if ho had never fallen
in. He can, when he grows older, thank the remark
able energy of bis aether and grandfather.

which will bring into play tome

organisations are being asked
to sponsor the dinners.

of statewide dinners in the honor
of passing tourists as an expres
sion of goodwill from tba motor
ists of Georgia to tba. vast army
of tourists who annually pass over
our highways.” states Goodloe
Yancey, president of tho state
body, in announcing the plans. “It
offers to the people of tho otate
an opportunity which they do not
often have; of meeting personally
some of Ithe people who speed
down our highways on route to
Florida, of discussing with them
their trip, local conditions and
posibilities and the striking ad
vantages of the states which
might attract property owners
end developers.”
The invitation to all tourists
who plan to pass through thi
state at that time is being broad
east through the daily press as
sociations, through motor maga
zines, through motor club* off Hi
nted with Amenran Automobile
Association and through touring
information bureaus at our several
thousand points throughout the
country.
The date, November 20, haa
been chosen because it falls very
nearly at the height of the late
fail movement to Florida. Thia
year, which is presidential elec
tion year, will keep many parties

Dinners will be served at the

mittee will provide exactly what it
chooses, but an attempt will be
made to serve the visitors some
thing especially characteristic of
the locality. Homerrown meat"
and vegetables, fruits and sweet
meats only will be served.
The famous Georgia barbeeuo
probably will be a heavy favorite,
with mountains of succulent roast
pig and aheep and kid, as well as
steaming pots of Brunswick stew.

have a more formal dinner, with
