(HttK 1 IS Bffl BUILDIB Proves Great Agency For Road Building in Statewide Sys tem of Highways ATLANTA, Nov. 24.—The in flow of nearly a million dollars to the Georgia treasury during the fiscal year just ended from the one cent gasoline tin* tells afresh the story of what motorists are doing in the cause of better highways. The sum officially reported is $948,252 —an incerase of more than $210,000 over the twelve months preceding. . Now that the tax has been rais ed 1 to three cents a gallon, the en tire proceeds of which will go to tlie improvement of county roads and the development of a state wide system, the gasoline engine becomes more than ever a power for ( highway building. It seems but a few years ago that fearsome philosophers were wagging their beards in lament over the havoc which automobiles wonm play with the country’s roads. A vehicle that put an end to the G nocent wayside ramblings of poul try, that compassed more miles in one hour than Dobbin in six, and that sucked forth the vitals of earth with its speeding tires, must be in sooth an instrument of destruction if not of darkness. "But behold how the destroyer has builded,” says John S. Cohen, editor of the Atlanta Journal in paying tribute to the auto as an agency of progress. "Th.‘ history cf good roads in Georgia, as in America at large does not verily begin till the advent of the auto mobile, since when more highways have been built in a year than be fore in a generation.” PRISONER HAPPY OVER SENTENCE FOR LIFE • ' CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—A life sen tence meted out by Judge Hurry E.

YAARAB SHRINERS PLAN TO ENTERTAIN KIDDIES ATLANTA, Nov. the benefit of the little inmates of the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, Yaarab’s chanters will give a musical “fanfare" at the At lanta theater for three night, De cember 20-22.

White House officials in present ing this statement of the chief,ex ecutive’s view yesterday asserted that the president and Representa tive Madden, of Illinois, were work ing i n harmony in the matter of | legislation which would bring about construct ion on the Warrior river in Alabama of a duplicate of the Gor ges steam power plant recently sold to the Alabama Power company. The statement did not reveal whether Mr. Coolidge preferred government or private operation of the Muscle Shoals but it vepr. sente.d the president as feel ing that it was a matter of great est importance for the United i to obtain a sure supply of :i'- i rates ;,nl that some financial al ii w- l i e should be made in the case of either type of operation for ex tensive experimentation. The declaration that, the presi dent and Representative Madden were workbig in harmony was not explained 4n detail, but was regard ed as significant inasmuch as the proposed Madden bill contemplates acceptance of the offer of Henry Ford for lease and purchase of Muscle Shoals. The president, how ever, has told several visitors with :-i recent weeks that the whole mat ter of Muscle Shoals disposition is one for congress to determine. Mr. Coolidge believes that under eithr private or government opera tion a period of experimentation, will be necessary before nitrates can be produced for fertilizers cheaply enough to compete with Chilean nitrates.
