The figureg showed: THAT 8805 families in that city’s metropolitan area - living in homes unfit for human beings to dwell THAT there are 29.258 families without tubs or hower baths. THAT 3867 families are without running water, THAT 5702 families still light their homes with roséne lamps. THAT there are 14,108 families without the sani rv necessify of a private indoor toilet. All this is no reflection on that city, which was leveland, Ohio. Official figures on conditions else khere show that there are many cities which do not ack up so well. In fact, Cleveland is one of the tter cities in regard to ifts general standard of ViNng Of course there were also redeeming features. howing the efforts that are being made to advance e standard of living. For instance. there are 88,151 wage-earners in the ity who ride to work in automobiles. There are 7201 familieg using electric refrigerators, There are 4203 families with two or more automobiles. It is not necessarily a black ipicture at all. for it hows clearly that many. many thousands of work rs are living in a comfort that could scarcely be nagined by workers in any other country in the rorld Nevertheless, the inadequate standard available to ven a small minority is a blot on any city and a fanger. Surveys like thig are the first step toward mproving thg conditions they expose. For unless e first get a clear picture of our shortcomings, it s hard to move toward better things. Every city would do well to think about these atistics, for no city can afford to allow such con flitions to exist without making a deteérmined effort 0 better them. Furthermore. the potential domestic market for ousing, plumbing. lighting, and similar improve ments is clearly shown. It waits for the time when the people lacking these vital thingg get enough ioney to buy them. Legalization of beer and liquor has brought its Lirst billion dollars in revenue to federal, state and focal governments, The lion's share of this. more han $700.000,000, has gone to the federal government N excise, license and customs reveénue, The rest has sone to state and local governments. .I‘iv income from this source is rising steadily. “"lel:fl officials believe this is due to steady work in breaking up bootlegging. The percentage of boot leg liquor consumed is sometimes estimated as high 4s the normal consumption, but that seems unlikely m view of the fact that annual revenue from beer anri‘ liquor today is higher than the peak before brohibitjon, T fact that these revenues are badly needed by federal and local governments is in a sense a dan -86l It might well lead to a progressive letting ’“'-}"»t of the bars of regulation.

AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK The National Retail Dry Goods Associa tion, after an exhaustive survey of the gountry, announces that retail sales for this year has been larger than those of re cent years. This concern estimates that the retail sales so far this year amount to $:0,000,000 which is a new high for the depression period. This estimate is consid ered very conservative being based on a ten per cemt increase over that of last vear. : It is expected that the fall business wiil show a large increase over the spring busi ness and by the first of the year, 1935 will rank as the banner year since 1929. All lines ‘of business have shown an increase this year and with continued growth of business, the return of prosperity and set tled conditions may be expected this year. The merchants of Athens have enjoyed a splendid trade so far this year and with the approaching of the fall season, prep arations are being made for a bumper bus iness. With this condition, the merchants and busincss men should commence plan ing their fall advertising campdign. Store news, which is newspaper advertising, is sought for and expected by consumers. The advertising columns are scanned and shop ping planned before going to the stores. The merchat alert to the needs of the buy ers should place his merchandise and prices before the readers of the newspa pers, if he expects to receive their patron age, PRONOUNCING NAMES PERPLEXINGf Since the threatened trouble between Italy and Ethiopia or Abyssinia, readers of the newspapers are non-plussed over the many names that appear in the news col umns relating to Ethiopia. The map, how ever, settles the question as to the proper name for this country. Regardless of newspaper writers using the name of Abyssinia, the correct name is Ethiopia. The National Geographic Society, in a bulletin, recently released gives the follow ing interesting information as to names and pronunciations of the towns and cities in the much taiked of and read about coun-‘ try. They are: ; “For instance, Walwal and Wardair, in the trouble zone, near the Italian border, appear as “Ualual” and “Uarder.” Aduwa in the northern part of the Empire near the border of Eritrea has been amply sup plied with aliases, for it has been called “Adua,” ‘“Adoa,” and ‘Adowa.” Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile, is stretched to ‘“Lake Tsana,” while Harar, the center of the Ethiopian coffee industry and one of the Empire’s chief towns, is given an additional r to make it ‘“Harrar.” Recently news reports mentioned “Afdub” and “Afdubba” but there are no such places in Ethiopia. The reports really re fer to Afdam. o _ “Awash has not been badly treated for it has been adorned only with an h, mak ing it “Hawash,” but Gerlogubi has been both lengthened and altered to make it “Guerlogobi.” Writers have generally left an m out of Jimma, written ‘“‘Aossa” for Aussa and changed Bale’s e to an i. “A town and a river of Italian Somali land also have caused readers confusion. Mogadiscio, the leading port and gateway to the colony, has been referred to as’ “Mogadishu” and the “Guiba river, as the “Juba”. Massaua and Asmara, in Eritrea,l have erroneously appeared as ‘“Massawa” and “Azmara.” - From the foregoing, much information can be gained by those who are interested in what now appears will be a bloody war Letween one great country, prepared for war and a small “settlement” made up of a race ignorant of warfare, but defiant for their rights and for the protection of their homes and country. Of course, the Ethio piants will meet the Italians‘in gorilla war fare, their only mode of protecting their rights from an invasion by a county su perior in arms and equipment for war and numberless soldiers to overpower and take from the Ethiopians their rights and prop erty without justification, rhyme or rea son. It is nothing more nor less than bar barism on the part of Mussolini and a dis grace to civilization. If the League of Na tions is anything more than “‘a scrap of paper,” something should be done by the member nations to check the onslaught of Itzly on a helpless and harmless handful of human beings, innocent of any wrong doings, but paying the price of their prop-‘ erty and their lives as a toll to the greedi vess of a nation that is without honor. - GEORGIA AND FLORIDA Statistics show that 515,000 tourists’ au tomobiles visit Florida each year. The oc cupants of these automobiles purchase 36,- 786,000 gallons of gasoline and these tour-{ ists spend $90,458,444 in Florida. It is also alleged that more than half of these 515,000 automobiles come - from Georgia} and Alabama. People who live in Geor gia and Alabama spend $45,229, 222 in Florida annually. Of this amount, it is} <aid that Georgia people spend $22,614,- 611 -~ that state each year. 1 The_foregoing figures are startling, but statisties prove them to be true. This con ¢ition is responsible for the movement in augurated by the Georgia Hotel Associa tion and the Georgia Press Association for “Seeing Georgia First.” There are more points of real interest in this state than there are in Florida or any other southern state so far as that is concerned, yet our people are guilty of passing up the Geor gia views and spending their vacations and other periods for riding around in other states. It is to be hoped that the people of Georgia” will realize the importance of “See Georgia First” and other states after wards.

Heegle 7 it P, A 6 - ENSUN=TAN - BEGIN HERE TODAY JO DARIEN breaks her en gagement to BRET FAUL, col lege athletic star, because Bret objects to her taking a job as hostess at Crest Lake Inn, fashionable summer resort owned by wealthy DOUGLAS MARSH. Jo goes to Crest Lake. Marsh’s eccentric mother dis likes her and causes difficul ties. These are increased when PETER FRAGONET, film ac tor, arrives. Fragonet pays marked attentions to Jo, asks ~ her to marry him as soon 3s he can secure a divorce. | Bret Paul oomes to Crest Lake as life guard. BABS MONTGOMERY, school ac quaintance who is jealous of Jo, is also there. Fragonet leaves and returns when his film company under takes to make part of a mo tion picture at the resort. Jo becomes ¥giendly with Lola Montez, actress. Babs tells Jo that she (Babs) is going to marry Douglas Marsh, Soon after March, prompted by his-mother, asks Jo to leave Crest Lake. She agrees to oo immediately. Jo decides to go to Hollywood to look for a job. Fragonet per suades her to go with him by plane. NOW GO ON WITH THT STORY CHAPTER XXXV As Jo sat beside Fragonet in the careening car which he had order ed from the Crestmore airport she had no time to think. He had in structed the driver to make all possible speed to the airport, and Jo wondered at his impatience when the plane was under his own charter and so would stand by un til they arrived. The road to Crest more was not a good one, and sev eral times Jo felt certain they were skidding into oblivion. “If your’e hurrying just because yvou’re afraid I'll change my mind,” she told Fragonet at last, “I wish you wouldn't. Tve quite made up my mind to go with you.” He patted her hand as though she were a small child feartul without cause. “We'll be all right, darling. You. see, there’s usually fog around Grouse mountain after nightfall and I want to get over that before dusk. That's why all this hurry.” Still Jo felt that Fragonet was uncertain of her, that he would not be at ease until they were settled in the plane from which she could not escape until they were both in Hollywood. Involuntarily, Jo smiled. Peter Fragonet was so like a small and very intense boy. If he want ed something badly he had but one instinct—to grab it hurriedly and rush away with it despite every thing. To him there weren't any rules, because, as Peter Fragonet, he was beyond rules. It wasn't egotism which made him so sure +hat once he and Jo were together in Hollywood everything would be as he wanted. It was simply that he was unable to conceive of a world in which things were not as he wanted them. For 10 years it had been that kind of a world for Fragonet—and he had quite for gotten the hard years which had preceded those 10 magic ones. At last they roared into the Crestmont airport and the driver stopped the car with screaming brakes. Jo saw the plane, a speedy snub-nosed monoplane with two cowled cockpits in line. Already the propeller was turning, and the portable steps were ready by e fuselage. “It won't be such a chummY jaunt,” Fragonet explained, getting out of the car. “But therell be stops when we can talk. T wanted a cabin piane with the seats to ~gether, but the fools sent up this.” THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Jo’s heart skipped a beat at the realization that the pilot who had delivered the plane would not be returning with them. “I hope,” she said, trying her best to make her voice sound jaunty, ‘‘that ygqu are not as reckless piloting a plane as you are about . . . other things.” Fragonet laughed. “I'm a good pilot,” he told her, In the tiny but modern Crest mont airport station they drank some black coffee, donned flying helmets and fleece-lined ¢ o a t s which Fragonet produced from the luggage compartment of the plane. Almost before she knew it, Jo was settled deep in one of the cock pits, conscious of the well-wishing gring of thehangar attendants who stood by to watch the take-off. Fragonet, grotesque in his tight helmet and goggles, turned and waved to her. She nodded nervous ly . = » felt the plane bouncing roughly along the runway, felt it lift smoothly beneath her. When they had leveled out, and Fragonet had given her another reassuring signal, Jo raised herself slightly against the canvas belt and peered below her. The trees looked like squat shrubs in the afternoon sunlight. Crest TLake, far in the distance, was a blue gem hardly large enough for a man’s ring. And the roofs of the Inn and the circling cottages were ma roon dots against the green forest. Jo settled back into the cockpit‘ again, thinking of Bret, and Doug las Marsh. Of Todd Barston, and Babs—and good old Tubby. ‘Which of them would she see first again? Or would she see any of them.] ever? She looked through the wind chield at the helmeted head of Fligonet. He was piloting her now. She felt helpless, more alone than ever. Instinctively she want ed to trust Peter Fragonet. After ali, he lovel her. After all, to Fragonet she was important en ough to guard and guide and keep. £ Jo Darien would never forget ‘her first awesome glimpse of Hol ‘lywood. Miles before the plane had reached the Los Angeles air port, she had seen the vast stretch of buildings pressing from the blue sea into the very foothills, and she had thought, “Can Hollywood be as big as this?” Then she remem bered that Hollywood was in real ity only a section of a huge Cali fornia metropolis, that it had far outgrown the days when it was a rambling little town reached by a rather drab highway, lined with eucalyptus trees, from Los Angeles. Those were the days when motion pictures had been made in bamm like structures—llong before the era of Hollywood Boulevard's towers and Wilshire Boulevard's swank ;apartment-hotels and swankier i shops. I ohe had been dead tired when | she climbed from the plane at the airport and started out by car to the apartment which Fragonet had | suggested for Jo. Nevertheless she | watched eagerly and was surprised iwhen Fragonet said with a smile, i“Thls is Hollywood, Jo. . - ST { “But how 'can Yyou tell?” Jo | laughed. ‘ | “Well,” Fragonet replied, “you [ may see Comanche Indians on thel | street—or gold miners or even a | team of mules.” 1 «“But I haven't seen anything 'like that yet.” | | - *You probably won't,” he smiled. | et isn't like the old days when | they made pictures on every street | | corner. Nowadays most of the | work is done in the studio, and wé | aren’t near any of those yot. o - o | But there’s one thing you might | be able to notice, and that is that ;Holywood has more beautifu!i | women to the sguare block thaml |any other place on earth.” | | Jo noaded. Why shouldn’t it? lmmflym every corner oOf V-, ery city on the globe poured its most beautiful girls; and if they didn't become movie stars they had to become something eles—sales girls, book shop girls, waitresses. And sometimes they stayed and married—married insurance sales men, and restaurant owners, and workers in the studios. So that Hellywood had beautiful wives, too. Suddenly Jo felt small and un important and rather pldin. Frago net had called her a goddess at Crest Lake. But would she be a goddess in Hollywood where there must be thousands of creatures so glorious that the very name Holly-! wood had come to be synonymous with female beauty and charm? As if reading her thought, Frag onet leaned forward and said, “Yes . . the old town has more beau tiful women to the square block than any other place on earth. And you're adding something to the av erage, Jo.” ; He drew very close and Jo said quickly, “I'm so tired. . . . Really, I think I could sleep for days.” Fragonet laughed. “You can if you want. Hollywood is actually a very quiet little city, Jo. And ! know vou'll like the apartment I've selected for you. It's right on Wilshire, near Bullock's.” “Are you sure it isn’t too expen sive?” / “Not at all expensive,” he told her lightly. “And anyhow, that's something I don’t want you worry ing about. I brought you to Hol lywood, and I'll see that you get along.” 1 Jo saw no reason to argue the point mow. She was extremely’ tired, and at least she could at-‘ ford the place long enough to rest up and get her bearings. She had already decided, despite her weari ness, that she was going to like Hollywood. She liked the bright blue bowl of sky, the smell of eucalyptus and pepper trees, and the pleasant thrill of seeing palms growing tall and natural. The great wide streets, the tower-like buildings—some in pink and green thstels—were exciting, somehow combining, in a strange way Jo coulds not explain, the charm of a small town with the energy of a big one. Fragonet’s driver stopped before a tall building, and a uniformed doorman stepped from beneath a gaudy awning to assist Jo from the car. Red-trousered Orientals seem ed literally to swarm gver the lug gage, bearing it in as ants carry a crumb. Fragonet saw Jo to her room, made sure that she was comfortable. “] want you to drop right to sieep,” he told her. “And tonight 'lwe'll go to Cocoanut Grove. | Right?” :l Jo nodded. “I'd like to—if I can | really wake up.” | ‘TI leave a call for you at the desk to be sure you do . . . and | I'll come by early. I want you to | have dinner Wwith me, too.” | When he had gone Jo glanced | about the room. Clearly the place 'was much too expensive. But it | was nice. She walked to the win ! dow and looked down at Wilshirae Iboulevard. teeming with traffic. | Then she lifted her eyes to the 'foothills beyond, saw a set of white letters so gigantic that she could gread them miles away, in this ‘ room—HOLLYWOOD. | Where Rome can really be built lin a day—and torn down in less. | Where taxi-drivers. may become | national idols—and where national | idols, if they are not careful, may | hecome taxi-drivers. Where many. {an unknown girl has found herself, ibut the unbelievable magic of cel i luloid and sound, beloved by men |in all quarters of the world. But |Jo knew, too, that ma&ny an un ;known girl had plunged into still | deeper obscurity in Hollywood. She ir««:membemd suddenly of reading | how one had leaped to her death Officers of Veterans Service to File Suit ‘ Against Economy Act ATLANTA — (#) — A. L.. Hen son, state veterans serVica officer, Thursday said he intended filing suit in the United States district court at Whashington in September attacking validity of the national economy act, Henson said Governor Talmadge sanctioned the step. The economy act giving Presi. dent Roosevelt authority over vet erans pensions was enacted March 20, 1933. By authority of the act President Roosevelt, in an executive order, cancelled pension scHedules that were in effect on March 19. | Henson said he believed the act 'was unconstitutional “because it‘ ‘delegates unreasonable authority from congress to the president of the United States.” In his peti ‘tion he sald he would contend the old schedule of bonus payments ‘should be restored. The economy act, the service of ficer added, deprived war veterans in Georgia of approximately $3,- 000,000 annually. Prior to its adop tion 16,000 names were on the pay roll in Georgia and now the payroll has 6,600, he added. In a letter to Henson, Governor Talmadge told him to proceed with the suit “to maintain the rights of veterans” if Attorney General M. J. Yeoman was agreeable. Yeomans told him, Henson added he was inclined to think the econo my act involved an uncostitutional delegation of legislative power. The attorney general handed Hen son a letter he recently wrote to a veteran in which he said: “However I do not think it could benefit any veteran to undertake to raise the question of the consti tutionality of his act.” ‘ Yeomans said if the act were in validated there would *be no law entitling veterans to pensions. The suggestion that the suit be filed was contained in a petition filed with Governor Talmadge by J. K. Finch, adjutant, and Cecil V. Whiddon, commander, of Atlanta Post No. 390, Veterans of Foreign wars. : - EPotatoes May Join , - IGovernment’s List of Controlled Produc’s | pledliosise . WASHINGTON — (#) — Puta-' ‘toes soon will join corn, wheat and other crops on the government’s growfng list of production con trolled farm products. ‘ Approved with slight opposition 'in the senate, the measure met ob jections in the house, particularly from midwesterners. ’ Under the control plan, produc tion will not be restricted but a tax of 756 cents a hundred pounds will be collected on potatoes sold in excess of sales allotments. There will be no processing tax and no benefit payments. Produc ers are expected to benefit from the plan through increased prices for their potatoes. ’ The plan will work in this man ner: ’ Before the 1936 crop yvear Secre~‘ tary Wallace will determine the |quantity of potatoes that may he produced commercially and gold by producers at a parity price. | ~ This allotment will be apportion-} ed among the potato growing states and producers in these] states will be saleg quotas and is ued tax exempt certificates for ! the amount of their quotas. : The tax will be collected on all potatoes sold in excess of the quotas. Provision is made for a referen dum, in which two-thirds of parti cipating growers must favor tha[ plan, before potato control can be effective in any successive year, [ Forecasting of Drought Years in Advance May Be Possible in Future . WASHINGTON —(#)— Devast ating droughts such as that of '1934 may in the future be predict ed years ahead as accurately as }tomorrow's weather is now fore cast. ' Dr. C. G. Abbott, secretary of ’the Smithsonion Institution an outstanding authority on radia tion of the sun, announced Thurs- | ‘day new resplts of his studies of! the effect of wvariations in the sun's rays on the earth’'s weather which hold great promise for long- | range weather forecasting. Ana-} lysis of his data shows that he secretly predicied the 1934 drought; when a high degree of accuracy. i He has established a definite 23-; year cycle of weather changes, which is apparently dependent on | a double sun-spot cycle in solar: radiation. Jln thig cycle tempera-g ture and rainfall at numerbus, points over the earth’s surface of: the earth approximately duplicate conditions at the same points 23! years before. ‘ Tall, scholarly Dr. Abbott was!' quick to point out that the repeti-| tion would not follow exactly from, month to month each 23 years but] that in general normal or abnormal' weather could be expected to recur; at approximately that interval. Thus another major drought may be expected to occur in 1957.
