THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Last Day in Louisiana of Trans
continental Tourists Is Hearty
and Continuous Ovation.
LAKE CHARLES, LA., Sept. 6 —
Preceded by an automobile brass band
playing “Dixie/* the all-Southem
transcontlnentalists flashed into this
city Just before dusk Saturday and
proceeded across the Texas line.
Friday was another day of contin
uous ovations. Crowley was loth to
let the pathfinder go and when the
car finally started the cheers of the
Crowley populace was drowned by the
“godspeed” of the rice whistles.
A magnificent dirt road stretched
along the railroad leading to Jennings.
A heavy rain during the night failed
to impede traffic because of the lib
eral use of the log drag.
Good Roads Object Lesson.
At the ferry Mayor John Gamble
and a special reception committee
from Jennings greeted Mr. Ferguson
with a brass band. On the Jennings
side of the river the mud was a foot
tfrick, and one of the greatest object
lessons of the value of the log drag
was encountered. The road had the
same rain that had visited the Crow
ley side, but it has never been touch
ed since it has been formed. While
the going was sticky, the car and the
escorting machines, numbering twelve,
arrived at the parish seat of Jeffer
son Davis Parish on schedule time.
Mr. Ferguson made his good roads ad
dress to an enthusiastic audience.
At Welch and at Iowa crowds heard
the good roads address, and then the
triumphant entry into Lake Charles
was made.
Reception at Lake Charles.
A reception was held at the Ma
jestic Hotel between 7 and 8 o’clock,
and then the touring party was es
corted to the courthouse, where good
roads addresses were made by John
S. Kent and J. S. Smith, of the Lake
Charles Chamber of Commerce; Leon
Locke, of the State Legislature;
Stanley C. Arthur, representing the
press, and Mr. Ferguson.
Citizens of the whole western part
of Louisiana have shown by their in
terest in the coming of the pathfinder
that they are more than interested in
good roads, and in a coming election
in October it is expected that a $900,-
000 bond issue for the building of
model gravel roads will receive an
overwhelming majority.
Westlake, Vinston and Orange, Tex
as, will be visited Saturday.

better and stronger these past few
dfiys.” said Thomas A. Edison, the

Younger Society Folk Engage in
Friendly Rivalry to See Who
Dances the Farthest.
Everyone thought that Atlanta so
ciety girls had taken up that latest
fad, the wearing of anklet watches,
when a startling discovery was made
the other night at one of the most
exclusive clubs in the city.
, A couple of blase youths were sit
ting out a dance on the side lines and
discussing Atlanta’s chances for the
pennant or some other subject equal
ly remote from fair young women
and turkey-trotting. Suddenly one
gave the other a painful jab in the
ribs.
‘‘Just look at their ankles!” he com
manded.
The other one was scandalized at
the suggestion, but an Involuntary
glimpse disclosed to him that sev
eral of the young women turkey-trot
ting with Tare vigor had something
resembling a watch on their ankles.
Looked Like Ingersolls.
Closer scrutiny developed that, if
they were watches, they were not the
dainty little gold timepieces set with
diamonds and other precious stones
that are being worn in swagger cir
cles. They looked more like the
nickel kinds one gets at a hardware
store.
The young men thought that their
discovery was a proper subject for
an Investigation, or rather for a po
lite inquiry. During an Intermission
they called one of the young women
aside very quietly and very unosten
tatiously. Would she object to tell
ing them, they asked pleadingly, what
those odd contraptions were that so
many of the girls were wearing on
xheir ankles?
2so; of course she wouldn’t object.
There was no secret about It. They
were pedometers—that was all. Well,
what were they wearing them for?
Then came the staggering reply.
For Turkey Trot Stakes.
“Why, we girls had an argument
as to who had turkey-trotted the
most and the farthest, and Just to
settle it we got these pedometers!
Some of us have danced until we are
about ready to fall in our tracks, but
none of us will give up.”
A comparison of the interesting de
vices showed that Miss Louise Brad
bury, of No. 86 East North avenue,
one of the popular members of the
college set, was ahead of all the rein
by fully a quarter of a mile.
‘‘She’s ahead of us now,” exclaimed
the runner-up, “but she started ahead
of me, and I’m Just as fresh as when
I began. I’ve got a box of candy bet
that I will beat her before our contest
comes to an end.”

Famous Denver Judge Calls Mar
riage to Sympathetic Woman
the Ideal of Happiness.
BOSTON, Sept. 6.—In Boston, to
deliver an address, Judge Ben Lind-
fl ©y. of Denver Jouvenile Court fame,
declared he was being hounded by
persecutors because he did not Jail
all the girls and men who are the
victims of social conditions. He said:
'In Denver my few persecutors are
cfying against me because I do not
Jail all the men and girls who are
but victims of our social condition.
Jail won’t settle that question, but
education will, and It is my idea to
bring Jesus Christ into court, and I
shall handle these lesser cases as they
ought to be handled by a humane
thinking man, or any Christian who i#
not acting the hypocrite.”
He declared his ideal of happiness
is to be married to a sympathetic
woman, to have healthy and happy
children. "In a word,” he summed
up. "just to be an average man.”
The 97-pound Denverite continued:
“I am going to write a book one of
these days,” and it is going to be
called “Sex and Sin.” And in this*
book I am going to show up these
hypocrites whose very mode of living
Is basically responsible for the im
moral conditions prevalent to-day."

BABY’S TERRIBLE
SKIN HUMOR CURED
Milk Crust Formed a Solid Scab,
But Resinol Cured in Four Days.
Detroit, June 21, 1913.-—"About a
year ago my two-months-old baby
was troubled with what they call
milk-crustf*. The low’er part of
her body was a mass of sores. It
began with small pimples, then
they turned to one whole scab. The
scab would break open and then it
would bleed. She suffered much,
as she cried night and day. For
one month I tried everything—all
kinds of salves, but without relief,
until I *ient for a nample of Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap. Upon
the first application I noticed a
change, and after four days my
baby was entirely cured. I can
not praise your remedies too high
ly, and recommend them to all my
friends." (Signed) Mrs. Henry
Mosher, 154 Lewerenz Ave.
You need never hesitate to use
Resinol. It is a doctor’s prescrip
tion. that has been used by other
physicians for eighteen years In
the treatment of eczema, ring
worm, pimples, and all sorts of
skin affections. It contains abso
lutely nothing that could injure
the tenderest skin. Practically
every druggist sells Resinol Oint
ment and Reeinol Soap. For free

"Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first fifteen cars aild receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalmobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
