A loading character is Jech, a Bo-

strop in the basement of a building
tm a Chicago street. Since his safe
has suffered in a fire and is not at
all formidable to a safe breaker,
Jfch has contrived a marvelous gun
trap to destroy burglars. This is
another ca*e of the story teller’s
commonplace “Hoist

The employment of Jech and his
countrymen is, to this critic, a new
feature in mystery stories. We have
had Bohemians in fiction—not rare

Mr. Keeler is, otherwise, a clever ;
writer for he has combined elements
of the new and old fiction. The

clever of Mr. Keeler, isn’t it—to
take a youth from the institute for

think of the newspaper heads out of

The announcement of a million
dollar building is front page news. The announce
ment of sixteen million dollar buildings would
command streamer headlines in every Georgia
newspaper. For sixteen million dollars of con
struction means work for many men, and income
for many families. It is big news.
Georgia Power Company is spend
ing in Georgia sixteen million dol
lars this year on new construction
alone. This is the bill for just one
year’s work. It does not include the
similar amounts for the same pur
pose which must be spent each
year in the future, nor the amounts
that have been spent each year in
the past—to bring good electric
service to the people of this state.
Nor is that building program,
which goes steadily forward year
by year, the only way in which
Georgia Power Company adds to
the prosperity of Georgia As de
pendable power is brought to more
and more communities, industry
follows—bringing new payrolls and
mere jobs. As industry is electri
fied, each worker can accomplish
more in less time, and his earnings
grow.
Thus the business of supplying
electricity to more than 400 Geor
gia communities is very directly a
business of increasing the happi
ness and prosperity of Georgia's
workers.
