CATTON’S COMMENT |
i @V BRUOE OATTON =y
hany a resident of (s -lsrge midwestern city the
her day undoubiedly read with a combination of
übt and shame some figures taken frox.'n a surve:‘y
the city made by the government with the aid
~wA and FERA work-relief people.
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

“"lel:fl officials believe this is due to steady work

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

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.

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

{an unknown girl has found herself,

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.

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.
