Results of efforts to increase service, daily mo¬
vements of freight cars, heavier load¬
ing of freight cars, reducing
number of bad order cars
and locomotives.
The problem of handling an
creased traffic with ever
ing and obsolete facilities is an
portunt one and the Central of
gia Railway Company points
at its records during the past
months, which shows the effect
their efforts to increase capacity.
During August, 1920, there
handled 129,327,000 Net Ton
which is the greatest movement
freight over its rail in the history
the Railroad. To complete this
formance it was necessary, first to
increase miles per car day and se
cond, to increase the carload, and to
to this end the following compari
sons with August, 1919, are
The Net Ton Miles increased 32,-
701,000 or 33.8 %, the Gross Ton
Miles increased 68,620,000 or 33.3%
the Car Miles increased 1,819,000
83.6% , the cars on line daily
creased 1,256 or 13.9%r, the
miles per car day increased
19.4 to 30.1 or 55.2%>, the
increased from 22.9 tons to
tons per car and the Net Ton
per Car Day increased from
to 536.7 an increase of 191.5
65.6%,

CONQUERING MALARIA
((•com The Atlanta Journal)
“Communities generally will go to
enormous expense to combat hog
.■holeru and cattle ticks, mid
.v 1 11 let use to , do , anything ... for , the
inost important asset , or , any commun
ity, its people. , „
This is the comment of Dr. L. D.
rick,head of the malaria depart
ment ill the United Stats Public
Health Service, who is now in Geor
■ia, engaged in conducting a cai^
aign in Mitchell county against
malaria.
Iir. Frick’s point applies in many
parts of the south. There are num
icrs of Georgia counties that
ho well to 1’oJlowlhe example of
• »tlightened and progressive
,if Mitchell, who are doing so
io stamp out a disease of such de
.structive qualities.
Malaria has been a bane in the
outh for years. In lowering vitality,
horU ning life, causing long spells of
ickness and idleness, it has robbed
Georgia of millions yf dollars as well
as causing suffering and hardship for
thousands of her people. In Mitchell
county alone, it is estimated that
malaria has meant an annual loss of
at least half a million dollars, a
loss which can be prevented by just
uch steps as authorities are taking
m Mitchell county today. More than
line thousand people, it is said, rep¬
resenting a third of the population
a I the county, have taken treatment
if quinine* doses given for malaria,
and already a large percentage of
hem are showing marked improve¬
ment.
Not only can malaria tie controlled
.ml checked in the individual, but
he cause of malaria can be stamp¬
'd out by counties that will under¬
ake to finance the proper methods.
Science has proven that malaria
aimes from the bite of the malaria
mosquito, easily distinguished, The
malaria mosquito breeds in swamps
ind other stagnant places. There is
he root of the trouble. Drainage pro
mots in Georgia are not alone pro
hid ive of agricultural prosperity,
>ut they will bring to their com¬
munities less malaria, better health
•md increased prosperity of all kinds.

Movement To Make Nation

The school children of Texas have
saved and invested thirteen million
dollars in Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, according to a statement re*
ce ntly issued by Mr. Dinsmore W.
Hume, Director of the War Loan Or
gan ization for the Eleventh District,
This is a wonderful result and
shows what can be done by systemat
ic effort. There is no richer region
in the world that the Southeastern
States, and by teaching th® school
boys and girls industry and economy
the future of this section will be as
sured.
Director Smith of the Eighth
Federal Reserve District has called
attention to the fact that the educa
tors of Kentucky have already
placed in the courses of study in the
public schools a manual on the
teaching of thrift. In that state a
law has been passed making thrift
instruction compulsory.

A bill providing for* Thrift In¬
struction in the schools of Georgia
was passed by the Georgia Senate
and would doubtless have passed the
| House but for the fac: that it was
late in the session and t'ne bill did
j not come up for a vote. The bill was
introduced by Senator Ivan E. Allen,
and had the approval of the State
School Commissioner, H. L. Brittain
and Senator Elders, Chairman of the
Education Committee of the Senate.
It will probably pass the next session
of the Legislature.
Director Smith of the Eighth Dis
trict says in a bulletin recently issued
from the St. Louis office:
“ The ‘Thrift in Schools idea is
sweeping the world. England is pay
ing her war debt with it, Scotland
has long used it, and America has
adopted it. The Eighth Federal Re
serve District is carrying out its
part of the program. The teachers
hold the key to the situation. Any
change in American thought and
ideals must come through the schools
and the ^eachers of the District are
responding nobly. Let this vitalizing
work continue for a period of yeais
and America will develop through
her school system, a Nation ot truly
independent people, woo having an
interest in their country, a regard
for property rights, a broad vision of
life’s values, will march toward the
goal of real Democracy.
