NEIGHBORS AROUSE
SLEEPING MAN FROM
HIS BURNING HOME
' Neighbors hurling rocks through his
Vied room window at 4 o’clock this
'morning saved the life of Luther Hen
r
ry when his home at No. 252 Cooper
street burned.
Henry was sleeping alone in the house
and, though the blaze had spread over
the entire structure when the neighbors
rushed to his. rescue, he was still asleep
in a far end of the flaming dwelling.
All of the neighbors were in night
clothes. They ran around to the side
.of the house, where the sleeping owner
<lay; and threw roc as and sticks and
"jeven chunks of clay against the walls
land smashed out window panes until
Henry arose. He made a dash through
a broken window just as the roof fell
in. He was unhurt.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, TONE 27,1912.
Atlanta Maids and Matrons Are
Complimented on Way They
Handle Motor Cars.
"If I had to ride s hundred miles an
hour in an automobile I’d feel safer
if a woman were doing the driving."
That statement about expresses W.
J. Stoddard’s belief that women make
the best amateur chauffeurs in the
world. Mr. Stoddard, who admits that
he’s an automobile "bug” of the most
acute sort, declared that in all his
experience he had never seen such
competent, careful, speedy drivers of
autos as are a half dozen of the young
women who spin dally up and down
Peachtree street.
There’s Miss Myrtle Hancock, of Ju
niper street, for instance, who makes
about as pretty picture as anyone
could want to see as she sweeps up
the avenue in her runabout at a dash
that is always pressing the speed limit.
Miss Harriet Calhoun. Miss Mary Helen
Moody, Mrs Phinizy Calhoun. Mrs. S.
C. Dobbs, Mrs. Marshall McKenzie. Miss
Helen Dargan and Mrs. W. J. Stod
dard are numbered among the other
Atlanta women whom Mr. Stoddard <Te
clares are better at the tiller of a car
than most men.
More Careful by Intuition.
"Here's the point,” said Mr. Stoddard.
"A woman's sight is quicker than a
man's. They’ll see danger ahead soon
er, They’ll run more carefully by in
tuition where danger is and that same
intuition makes up the time for them
on the good stretches of the road. Mrs.
Stoddard, for instance, will take me
through Atlanta in our machine in less
time than I can make the same trip
myself, and she won't hit half as many
rough spots.
"Then a woman knows more of the
psychology of automoljiltng than most
chauffeurs I have met. We’ll say your
machine is making time on a city
street and that when you're ten yards
or so from a corner a man steps off
the curb into your path. If a woman
happens to be driving that car her
first quick look at the face of that
pedestrian will tell her infallibly
whether he’s the sort of man that’s go
ing to keep on across the road or
whether he’ll step back and give her
the right of way. Many accidents 1
have known of have happened because
the chauffeur didn’t guage rightly what
the pedestrian was going to do. but I
never knew a woman driver to hit a
man like that.
"And anybody who says that women
can't learn automobile mechanism like
a man doesn’t know what he’s talking
about. Mrs. Stoddard understands our
machine far better than I could learn
ft in a hundred years. It makes you
feel mighty silly, of course, when you’re
out driving with a woman who has to
start your machine for you when you
get into trouble and are tinkering
around helplessly yourself.
“Incidentally. I don't know of a
much prettier sight than a pretty wo
man guiding a speeding electric up a
city street, do you?"
Move On Now!
says a policeman to a street crowd,
and whacks heads if it doesn't. “Move
on now," says the big, harsh mineral
pills to bowel congestion and suffering
follows Dr. King's New Life Pills
don't bulldoze the bowels. They
tly pars ;ade them to right action, ard
health follows. 25c at .u druggists.
