SLOW DOWN IN SMYRNA
OR YOU’LL BE PINCHED
City Solons Fix Auto Limit at Eight Miles an Hour—and
You Can Stay a Long Time in Smyrna at That
Rate—Smyrna Is a Live Town.
Motorists between Atlanta and the
charming suburb of Marietta, on the
north, may hook back the throttles of
their racore until y tfiey are fairly
straightening out the kinks In the road
and hitting only the high places—until
they get to Smyrna. And this doesn’t
menn until tJjey get to the business sec
tion of that'entcrprislqg village, or to
the mayor's office, or to the calaboose,
where they will eventually land If they
don’t shut off the speed Juice exactly
as they reftch the outward limits.
They have got to soft-pedal down to
eight miles per hour—or less—all the
time they are in Smyrna. As the lim
its are quite extensive, this means
they will spend considerable time in
Smyrna at olght miles per hour.
Smyrna is up to date. Smyrna had
a law against riding bicycles on the
sidewalks by the time, Atlanta did. In
fact, Smyrna had the law before she
had the sidewalks. She got tho$b later
so she could enforce the law.
Smyrna refuses to be left behind on
any point of civic legislation. Smyrna
had the anti-expectoratlon-on-the-
sldewalk law about two days after At
lanta got It, having already construct
ed sidewalks so she could pinch bicy
clists for riding pn them.
• Smyrna was a bit slow on the antl-
speed auto ordinance. But she has It
now, all right, and the unwary autolst
will have to gazo at the enterprising
town sliding by In slow time—not more
than eight miles per hour—or he will
have to add 25 large and perfectly good
dollars to its coffers.
Beginning with this recent June 1.

COMMISSION FORM
AGITATED IN CHARLOTTE
Charlotte, N. C„ June 3.—Apropos of
the commlaelon form of government
whlrh la being agitated In Atlanta and
many Southern cities, and which for
aeveral months engaged the attention
of this city, Vhen It was attempted if
possible to secure such, Charlotte has
taken a step In that direction which It
Is believed by many will ultimately lead
to the "commission form" In the In
stallation of an "executive board" of
live members under an amendment to
the city charter, the said board possess
ing very extensive powers and being
composed of men who as far as possi
ble, according to the purport of the
charter amendment, were to be chosen

Mayor Will Ride Goat
In Distinguished Cdbipany
Harvey Johnson Is anticipating t)ie
Job of "mayoring” the city Saturday.
The secretary fqars that the mayor will
not be down.
The mayor, on the other hand; Insists
that anybody that can g<> thru tin-
campaign he went thru to get where
he Is can ride any goat that anybody
ever got—could ride a procession of
gouts.
So, there you are. Anyway, mayor
or no mayor, one goat or & series of
goats, Robert F. Maddox is scheduled
to receive the Entered Apprentice de
gree and all that comes with It at the
regular communication of Palestine
lodge No. 486, Free aud Accepted Ma
sons, at the new Masonic temple Fri
day evening at 8 o’clock.
Just what distinction there Is .be
tween a regular meeting and a regular
communication those who have not
been Entered Apprenticed do not know,
but whatever it Is the mayor woMd
like to know before Friday evening at
8 o’clock.
And there are others equally as In
terested In learning all they can In
some peaceful, quiet way before Friday
evening, and they are about as .well
known as the mayor himself, for It Is a
distinguished company which takes the
Entered Apprentice degre in Masonry
at that time.
There’s Frederick J. Paxon, promi
nent as merchant, as member of The
Ten club, as chairman of the Fulton
County Joe'Brown club, who will also
be right In the midst of the Initiating
—the object.
And Asa O. Candled, Jr., will leave
off building that great auto race track
long enough to be entertained at the
same exercises. Also there’s Ben Lee
Crew, who looked after a large part of
both the music and the festival of the
music festival, and James LeConte An
derson—all prominent men, will accom
pany the mayor.
THE CUB REPORTER £&
a Story
On Lunar Eclipses
BY OSCAR, THE BOY JOURNALIST.
Thursday morning tho city editor
"aid what was I doing and to atop It
before It got tiny worsts. He said the
strike waa near enough over for me to
leave off picket duty and that he
wanted me to get ready for a total
eclipse of the moon that evening.
1 didn't at tlrst see what I had to
do with -the moon eclipsing, but I was
glad to hear about the strike being
over and that-1 wouldn't have to act as
Picket any more. Picket duty Is sitting
down In front of a door with a .con
ference going on Inside for hours and
hours, until Anally, Just as you are
beginning to doxe off, a tnll, wide man
comes out very red in the face and
says there Is nothing to give out and
what In thunder do you want to hang
around here all the time for when I
said 1 would call up the papers when I
wanted to announce anything.
So I was glad about the strike being
over and ready to take on the moon
or most anything else except confer
ences. I told the city editor this and
he said yes; that he thought I could
probably do better with a lunar eclipse
than I could with a strike and anyway
he was sure I couldn’t do any worse.
1 thought this was quite a compliment
at the time, but since I have written
It out It looks sort of suspicious.
My Star Assignment.
Well, he told me we u-ere full up for
today nnd to eat my lunch and then
go and read up something about
eclipses and see If I could spot this one.
I asked him how nbostt imagining
something about It In case of rain, like
that famous Elks parade, and he said
If I pulled off another stunt like that
there would be a new cub on the job

by the time' the next eclipse came off.
Somebody said that would be In 1020,
and 1 was feeling relieved when some
body else said no, the next one came
about Thanksgiving. So I went out, to
eat some brains and eggs with a heavy
heart.
While I was eating I had an Inspira
tion. It must have been the brains.
Milt Saul says In tfew York tho big
reporters live on calves' brains. Ho
says he used to train on them when
he was In the newspaper business. He
says he doesn’t need them any more
now, or any other kind. He says I
ought to eat them regularly; thnt he
wants to* see Just. how far a young
man can go on calves' brains.
A Chance for a Scoop.
' Anyway, the Inspiration was, why not
scoop the other papers on the eclipse?.
This seemed like u fine Idea, but It
didn’t take me long to see that It would
be pretty hard to do. You see, to scoop
the other papers on an eclipse you
would have to see something In It the
other reporters didn't, or else say you
saw something nobody can prove you
didn't see. That Is called "getting
away with It.”
Well, I decided I would try to get
away with It, and Just then who should
come In and sit down at the same tilbte
but one of the boys from the weather
man's bureau. This looked ‘like a
stroke of providence out of a clear sky,
so I sat there and got him to tell me
about the eclipse and the umbra nnd
the penultimate, which up to this time
I had thought was something about
grammar, and after about an hour I
came away simply crammed with lunar
eclipses and solar plexuses—I think
that, was It—not to mention calves'
brains and Inspirations.
It was pretty cloudy and rainy about
that time, which fell In nicely with my
plans for getting away with It, and I
went up to the Carnegie library hoping
It would keep on raining, or at least
clouding, until after 9 o'clock, when the
eclipse would be over.
Can't Be Postponed.
My Idea was this; The boy from the
weather man's bureau had told me
there wasn't any way to postpone the
eclipse In case of rain. He seemed
quite sure of this. It was one of these
things that have to come off, rain or
shine, like death and taxes. So I Ag-
ured that by going up In a balloon a
couple of miles the whole performance
could be aeen, as the clouds wouldn't be
In the way. The weather boy had told
me that, too, but I could have Agured It
out anyway.
Now, I didn't expect to go up In a
balloon, but I was pretty sure none of
the other reporters were going to do
that either. So I got out aome books on
astronomy* at the library and began
writing up the ewellest dope story you
ever read.
There didri’t seem to be much sensa
tional dope on moon eclipses, so I
turned over to the part nbout sun
eclipses, where there wa* lots of It. All
about "onrushlng shadow” and “Aim
ing corona" and "startling spectrum"
and “spectral analysis" nnd so on. The
last sounded like ghosts, and, remem
bering with another Inspiration that I
was supposed to be writing about the
moon and that it was to he night, I
ladled In some telling shots about
■pooklsh appearances and scary spec
ters which Atted In with the scitntlAc
dope very nicely, I thought.
It all got to be so real to me, how It
would look from two miles, high In a
balloon, and my Imagination was work
ing so well, that I [nit In a lot of real
istic stuff about how the tops of the
office buildings were thronged with
spectators, wildly admiring the super
nal beauty of the spectacle and how the
streets were packed to suffocation with
congested onlookers and all that sort ot
thing. It was. pretty fine, I can tell you.
Besting the Eclipse.
When I had finished. I could almost
believe the whole thing myself. It waa
still early Ih the afternoon, and the
eclipse Isn’t to come off until 7:30
o'clock this evening, ho I thought with
Joy of not only scooping the other pa
llet's on the details, but actually scoop
ing the eclipse Itself by getting my
story In ahead of It. I was very proud
and happy as I strolled carelessly up
to the city editor's desk and laid my
masterpiece down on It. It must have
been about four columns long. too.
The city editor waa sitting back In
his chair with his feet on top of the
desk. He picked up my story and be
gun running thru It. That man can
read faster than an automobile. I stood

DuBose Company
Asks Georgian to help
Her Find Missing Son;
He Always Reads It
“Please And my child for me. I can
not bear the thought of him being out
In the world alone.”
This Is the substance of a piteous
appeal made by a heart-broken mother
In Montgomery, Ala., to The Georgian
to assist her In finding her twelve-
year-old son who ran away from home.
The mother Is Mrs. J. P. Ogletree, of
7 McKInley-avc., Montgomery, and her
missing boy la John ogletree. He Is
the third of seven children and left
home last Friday. When he left he
wore a blue serge coat, gray knee pants,
black felt hat, tan tennis shoes and a
red four-ln-hand tie.
“I don’t know why he ran away from
me," writes the mother. "I was always
good to him. In fact. I waa accused
of treating him better than the other
children. ....
."In Uhls hour of trouble I don t know
where to turn except to The Georgian.
Bo I want to ask you to help me And
him. I don't see how he ran do without
The Georgian. He asks for It before
he gets In the house, and the children
all want to Aght over It. I know he
will see my appeal If you put It In.”
Mrs. Ogletree has not notiAed the
police. She didn't know what to do
except write The Georgian. So If you
see a twelve-year-old boy clothed as
described, communicate with The Geor
gian.

looking at him hopefully. Pretty aoon
he stopped and looked up.
He said: "You ore supposed to be
looking at this—thta—er-r-r spectacle
from a balloon two miles high, aren't
you?"
I said yes, that was It exactly. I was
dighted to see how he hod caught my
Ca ’ Not Very Enthuelaetle.
He said: "Very Ane. Did you take
the thronged oAlce buildings up In the
balloon, too? And the streets and the
congested onlookers? I thought It was
cloudy down here.” .
So It was. I had forgot that. I was
going on In a hurry over that point to
show him the beautiful part about solar
spectrums and all that, but he began
tearing up my story Into very small
bits, whlrh he wadded up carefully and
■ pped into the waste bosket.
_ie said: "I think It will rain tonight
and I've left my umbrella ot home."
I said t agreed with him nnd that
mine was there, too. He said I hnd
better go and get It. as I might need It
tomorrow, As I was going out of tho
door I heard him say something that
sounded like "luna and lunatics"
Luna” meann moon. I know, hut what
he said had aotTsttilng of a personal
sound about It.
I wonder what ho has against the
moon.
