PROPEL' A UTOMOBILE
BY'COMPRESSED AIR
Valdosta, Ga., April 8.—J. 1. Pittman,
nf Valdosta, rAurnrd today from Wash
ington, where, lie has W?en for several
«eeks. looking after S patent which
promises to revolutionize the propul
sion of machinery and to settle the
power question for all time to come:
Mr. Pittman Invented and has been at
n ni ls for three years on the model of an
automobile which Is propelled by com
pressed air, the'machine pumping and
compressing the air for Its own power
ns It runs. Whether the patent officials
thought he was encroaching too near
on the "perpetual motion" theory, or
whether they simply discounted Ills
claims or could not understand the
drawings sent to the patent office. Is
not clear, but Mr. Pittman found It i
necessary to take Ills machine to Wash
ington. After he did so he was granted
a full patent In the United States, and
has taken the necessary steps to- pro
tect his Interests In live of the leading
foreign countries. The patent officials
stated to him that his patent was one
of the most Important the department
had ever passed upon. -s -
Mr. Pittman’s theory Is applicable to
machinery of any kind, and he pur
poses non' tb equip a railroad locomo
tive, as well as his automobile, purpos
ing to pull the heaviest freight or pas
senger trains by the power generated
by the train. His’ Invention. If a suc
cess. If Is argued, would mean the ab
solute annihilation of steam and elec
trie power plants. «
THE KISS OF JUDAS
CLEANING DAY INDORSED .
BY ANTI-PLAGUE WORKERS
Tin* proclamation of Mayor Robert
F. Maddox, of Atlanta, commending the
action of the City Federation of Wom
en's <*Iuh« In setting apart Thursday
for "cleaning’day,” h«H met with the
Instant and hearty approval of the
Atlanta men and women now hard
at work pushing the publicity campaign
of the coming Antl-Tuty*reulosJit ex
hibit and lecture course. • #
• This ' clcaiilng day business Is a
great thing,” stated one % enthusiastic
worker at headquarters * Wednesday.
"It’s n long step tn the right direction,
from our point of view. And our point
of view, as everybody In this city will
know In less than two weeks. Is that
cleanliness Is the greatest of allies In
combating tuberculosis cohdltfons.
"Dirt In itself J« not a cause of con
sumption. Rut It la extremely favor
able to the breeding, preserving and.
spreading«of the germs that cause the
disease. Without filth, the germs of
tuberculosis could find scant resting
place and would soon become extinct.
Hence, the greater degree of cleanli
ness maintained In an office, a home or
a city, the smaller chance la there for
the propagation of the dlseaae germs
and the spreading of the disease.
“Cleanliness is said to toe next to
godliness. There may be much truth
In that saying. Rut I believe there la
more solid truth In the phrase. 'Clean
liness and tuberculosis are deadly ene
mies.' ”
Vlanly To Oppose Beveridge.
LaPorte, Ind., April 8.—Friend* of

States senator against Albert Beve
ridge.
Posey Is Showing Biblical
Pictures Thursday.
"The Kiss of Judas." a Pathe film of
unusual Interest, Is being shown at the
Posey Thursday afternoon and night.
The motion pictures depicting the scene
In (he life of Christ are peculiarly ap
propriate for holy week.
Among the company of artists who
appeared before the camera In the pre*
ductlon of "The Kiss of Judas" was Al
bert Lajnbert and Paul Mounet-Sully,
actors of distinction. With talent of
this character and the well-known per
fection of the Pathe pictures we have a
combination of undoubted strength. The
result proves the wisdom of this course.
The opening scene of "The Kiss of
Judas" shows the Interior of the house
of the disciple Mark, where Christ has
come with His disciples to partake of
the Last Supper—the sacred feast of
the Passover. M. Lambert was select
ed to depict the role of the Man of Sor
rows. and his Is an Impressive por
trayal. Great painters have given us
conceptions of the Christ, the gentle
man of love, weighed with the sorrows
of the world, but no effects of paint and
canvas can possibly equal the character
study of .V. Lambert. It Is doubtful If
Pathe FVeres could have made a better
selection. The ertlst has npproached
his subject with evident sympathy and
veneration.
In scenic and costume effects every
detail has been worked out with the
customary exactness which character-
lies the productions of Pathe Freree.
The posing throughout Is most rever
ential a* Is due a subject of such sac%d
moment. Ae a picture, It Is splendid:
but It Is more than a picture;'It Is a
sermon, and one can not see It without
feeling that they have gained a deeper
knowledge of a most holy event.

WHEN "INTERSTATE"
MOVEMENT CEASES
That Is Question Which
Suit by State Must
Decide.
IVhethsr the Georgia railroad com
mission lias authority to force the rail
road, of the state to pay reciprocal d,
murrage l« to he decided by the courts,
that body having called upon Governor
Smith Wednesday afternoon to bring
suit against the Central of Georgia and
the Southern ralla-ays for the penalties
provided under the Candler regulation
law In case a railroad falls and refuses
to comply with the orders of the com
mission.
The rule which the railroads are
charged with violating Is that which
declares that when an Interstate ship
ment arrive, at Its destination. Is ac-
cepetd by the consignee and the frelgh
paid. It cease, to be an Interstate ship
ment and Is then subject to the Juris
diction of the commission and must he
moved promptly to convenient sidings
hr places for unloading. In default of
which the consignee must be paid 81
for each day of delay.
Is o’elork The complaints upon whtch the com
mission brings Its action were tiled
soma time ago by the W. E. Dunn
Lumber Company, of Atlanta, agalnat
the Central, for *1* reciprocal demur
rage. and by the Empire Coal Company,
of Macon, demanding 121 demurrage,
The rkllroads have declined to pay
the demurrage upon the ground that
the position taken by the commission
Is untenable, ns the movement does not
cease to he Interstate even after the
shipment Is delivered to the consignee
and therefore does not come within
the Jurisdiction of the comml»,lon. It
Is understood that the cases will be
used as tests of the commission’, ruling
in the matter.
The Candler regulation law Axes the
penalty for such violations at from
*1,000 to *6,000 for each day of delay
caused by the rallure of the raflmad
to comply with the orders of the com
mission.
