'DOLLAR NOW GETS '
MOPE AUTO VALUE
It Buys As Much As $3.35 Did
1 in 1913, According to Deal
ers in Atlanta
ATLANTA, August 26.—Based
on the 1913 dollar as a standard.
,t is possible to get move automo
bile value for the money today than
,t was ten years ago, in che opinion
of auto dealers here, basing their
statement on figures received from
manufacturers.
When one takes the average
prices of automobiles, gasoline and
tires, it is found, the Atlanta deal
ers claim, that these automotive
products cost less today than be
fore the war even though the pur
chasing power of the dollar in
general has shrunk considerably.
Today one can purchase, the At
lanta dealers say, 111 cents worth |
of automobile, 101 cents worth ci
gasoline and 123 cents worth of
tires with his 1913 dollar.
Better highways and the gen
eral need for motor transportation
account for a large share of the
increase in motor vehicle depart
gnent at the state capitol, but this
has been further augmented, it was
stated, by the fact that the public
realizes that a dollar will buy more
in motor products than in most
other lines.
Furthermore, the current models
of motor vehicles and the present
type of tires are far better than ten
years ago even at the lower prices
prevailing today, it was pointed out
by auto men.
The pre-war dollar is worth only
61 cents today in the general cost
of living, Atlanta statisticians say.
It is worth but 51.8 cents in cloth
ing, 68.5 cents in food and 61.2
cents in rent.

PLEA. TO SAVE LIVES
Continued from page one
nor Loeb moved but they center
ed on their aged lawyer looks of
unwavering interesting and the
former touched Mr. Darrow’s sleeve
as he passed him going out of
court.
The salvation of youth is the
highest attribute of the state, Mr.
Darrow argued, and characterized
the hanging of several Chicago
boys after jury trials as “a shame
and a disgrace.”
Never .in the history of the lo
cal courts, Mr. Darrow told the
judge, has any culprit under 24
years of age been hanged after a
plea of guilty.
“I do not know how much sal
vage there may be in these two poor,
diseased minds,” he said. “It
might be merciful for your honor
to tie a rope around their necks
and let JTiem die now. It might
be merciful to them, but certainly
not to those who come after them.”
He pointed to the “wierd men
talities” of his clients and the iron
ical, mad and horrifying” crime
which the contrived as the prod
uct, even the responsibility of ages
gone.
He characterized as “an ancient
sunerstition and nothing more,” the
theory that hanging is a deterrent
to crime.
MISS ANNE DAVIS
IS ‘MISS COLUMBUS’
COLUMBUS, August 26. Miss
Annie Davis, pretty 17-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dorough
Davis, became “Miss Columbus” Sat
urday night, following a brilliant
dance at the Warm Springs Hotel.
Miss Davis is a popular member
of the younger set and is a pretty
blonde. She has light blue eyes,
brown hair and has a perfect figure.
This attractive young girl won
over the other four Columbus
beauties, Miss Frances Marcrum,
Miss Blanche Gaffney, Miss Ade
laide Koonce and Miss Wyline Jones.
"Hanging grejy up in the age of
barbarism from which we are so
lately come as an exhibition —not
as a punishment,” he said.
He explained, too, that his refer
ence to war was because armed con
flict had always been followed by
an era of crime. He spoke of nu
merous veterans of the world war
who had landed in courts after their
return from the trenches, where
“honorable, upright boys had learn
ed how cheap was human life.”
“We were fed on flesh and drank
blood, even down to prattling
babes,” explained Mr. Darrow, as
he emphasized that the glories of
war were preached from platform
and pulpit and even taught in the
dresses Os

“There' arc truly causes for
crime, as well as for everything
else that happens in this world,”
he said. “Human blood was not
the same to these two boys after
we had all been bathed in blood.
War, money and. education all were
part of the circumstances that com
bined to wreak their destruction.”
There were tears in Mr. Darrow's
eyes as with quivering voice he pic
tured the crumbling hopes of the
parents of the boys, and the effect
of the crime upon the future gen
erations of their families. His
voice broke again -when he reach
ed his peroration.
“I know,” he said, “that your
ho'] 01 ' stands between the £uUut
and tfie past. For me the future
means the hopes of the young. I
plead for life, charity, kindness,
sympathy and understanding and
the future is with me.
In a stillness that was broken by
not even the muffled clicking o f

struments in the press seats, Mi
Darrow added this verse from Omar
Khayyam:
“So I be written in the Book of
Love
I do not care about that book above-
Eras e m y name, or write it as you
will,
So I be written in the Book of
Love.”
