E.B. DYKES, CANDIDATE
COMPTROLLER GENERAL
E. B. Dykes, of Vienna, is
conducting a state-wide cam
paign of intensive nature for
Comptroller General and his
friends in this county, and
throughout Georgia, are work
ng to roli up a decisive majority
or him in the primary Septem
>er 9. Mr. Dykes was born in
Bartow county, graduated in law
at Mercer University, received a
degree from the Atlanta Law
School and has served Dooly
county 12 years in the legislature
and one term in the senate, dur
ing which time he was president
of that body.
In his announcement for the
position Mr. Dykes says:
“The Comptroller General is
also Insurance Commissioner.
When elected I promise that I
will not exact tribute from In
surance Companies, or their
agents, for administering the in
surance laws of this State. The
funds provided by law for inves
tigation of suspicious fires, and
for examinations of insurance
agents, will not be supplemented
by any arbitrary demand for ex
penses in connection with such
investigations and examinations.
“I further declare that I will
not violate the trust imposed in
me by being appointed to any
receivership covering insurance
companies or insurance funds,
and that my only compensation
! will be the salary provided by
j law for the office. I further
state that no other member of
my immediate family will be em
ployee in tne Department during
my administration.”—Adv.

English Home Gets Hot
Seat, Diggers Find Why j
To have a fire start under his j
house, not in its basement or even I
in its foundations, but six feet down j
in the earth, like a miniature vol- ;
cano, was the surprising experience
of a householder in Durham, Eng
land.
For several days mysterious
smoke and fumes were smelled.
These seemed to be seeping into
the cellar. Presently the earth un
der the house began to get warm.
Finally the fumes became so severe
that the inhabitants had to move out.
Says Dr. E. E. Free, in his Week’s
Science (New York):
Neither the family, the city fire
men, nor their special experts whom
the latter called could find the fire.
A crew of diggers from the local
gas company then was summoned
and the ground underneath the house
was dug up, it being necessary for
the diggers to wear gas-masks. Six
feet down in what had been believed j
to be solid ground, the fire was dis
covered. Many years previously a
raised wagon road had been built
at that point, across an area of
swampy ground since entirely filled
in and forgotten. This wagon road
was built largely of ashes. In those
days coal was cheap. Less care
was taken to see that combustion
in factory furnaces was perfect or
that all bits of unburned coal were j
sifted out of the ashes and saved.
Thus the old-time ashes evidently
contained unburned coal, as well as
iron and sulphur minerals also capa
ble of slow oxidation by the air.
As the years passed some air seems
to have seeped down through the
soil to this buried bed of coal and
ashes. The coal and sulphur min
erals slowly oxidized and got hot.
Finally, this spontaneous combus
tion set the whole mass on fire.
i Too Much Emphasis Is
Put on ‘Native Ability’
Too much faith has been placed
in intelligence tests and vocational
guidance tests as an indication of a
child’s unchangeable ability accord
ing to Dr. C. C. Peters.
It is Dr. Peters’ contention that
so-called “native ability” has been
overemphasized in our homes and
schools, and that too little attention
has been paid to improving abil
ity by training and development.
“Except in extreme cases, it is
impossible to say that an infant will
grow up to be intelligent or stu
pid,” Dr. Peters declared. “We
should center our attention on train
ing children to acquire certain abil
ities rather than on predicting
whether or not they have them.”
To the extent to which it is pos
sible to overcome deficiencies, divid
ing people into varying levels of in
telligence is an undemocratic pro- i
cedure, he added. The democratic
way would be to offer all people an
opportunity to increase their tal
ents.
j
No Personal Liability
Public officials who handle gov
ernment funds are relieved of per
sonal liability for the funds, once
they have been deposited in banks,
in all but two or three states under
laws passed mostly since 1932, a sur
vey by the Municipal Finance Of
ficers Association of the United
States and Canada showed.
Impetus to the movement to free
public officials from this responsi
bility came during early years of
the depression when many munici
palities suffered losses through bank
failures, and finance officers were
held liable under the laws of most
states with their bonding companies
forced to “make good.”
The only states lacking laws pro
tecting the money-handling official
are Maine and Rhode Island, where
responsibility is “undetermined,”
and New Mexico, where no provi
sion was found, according to the
survey. The laws all specify cer
tain conditions that the official must
meet in order to be free of liability.
Blind Children ‘See’
Not every little boy or girl has a
chance to tour such historic places
as the White House or Washington’s
home at Mount Vernon, but soon
every boy and girl in schools for the
blind throughout the country will be
able to “see” these and many more
famous buildings through their fin
gertips.
Under an educational model proj
ect now being sponsored by the
American Foundation for the Blind,
collections of models of famous build
ings of this land and of the lands
overseas will be placed in institu
tions for sightless children in all
parts of the United States. Build
ings of antiquity, such as the lean
ing tower of Pisa, and the Parthe
non at Athens, will vie in interest for
these young fingertip travelers with
such modern edifices as a skyscrap
er office building, a modern dairy
farm or an up-to-date factory.
Houston, Texas, Beautified
Keeping the real estate in Hous
ton, Texas, free from weeds, rub
bish and stagnant puddles is the
job of the newly established office
of Real Property Sanitation Con
trol set up by municipal ordinance.
The new department, which re
places the office of weed inspector,
was created to step up corrective
measures against insanitation, and
at the same time work toward city
beautification. As a subdivision of
the city health department, it is
charged with enforcing all city or
dinances regulating sanitary condi
tions of public and private real
. estate.
In this dark hour of our I
national existence, when I
our tradition, our freedom I
and our very lives and homes are I
being assaulted by a vicious and I
deadly enemy, it is time for the I
people of our State and our Na- I
tion to return to the simple faith I
of our childhood. I
At our mother's knee and in the I
little country churches we were I
taught that there is a God who
watches over the destinies of
mankind. Though O'jr faith may
be sorely tried and our hearts
troubled, we were taught to cling
to that elemental truth.
We know,, that the Democratic
form of Government is the finest
the mind c f man has ever devised.
We know that right will triumph,
evil will be uprooted and the
truth prevail, and that the truth
will set us free.
