Black Cal Crossed the Road and
a Load of Coffins Went By,
Bu t Signs Weren ’ t W orking
Do you believe in signs—signs
that presage some dire cala
mity unless something is done
to offset the evil portent?
Is it a bad omen to begin
some task on a Friday? What
about a bat flying through a
window, or a person walking
under a ladder? Are you afraid
to lay a hat on a bed, or to
have some one lean on your
chair when you are playing
cards?
What would you do if a black
cat should cross your path?
Frank J. Miller, manager of
local theatres, does not believe
in signs. Neither does Mrs.
Miller, nor Mr. and Mrs.

Loosen Up That Cold
With Musterole
Have Musterole handy when a cold
Starts. It has all of the advantages of
grandmother’s mustard plaster WITH
OUT the blister. You Just apply It
with the fingers. First you feel a
warm tingle as the healing ointment
penetrates the pores, then comes a
sotthing, cooling sensation and quick
relief.
Made of pure oil of mustard and
other simple ingredients, Musterole Is
recommended by many nurses and
doctors. Try Musterole for bronchitis,
sore throat, stiff neck, pleurisy, rheu
matism, lumbago, croup, asthma, neu
ralgia, congestion, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sore muscles,
sprains, bruises, chilblains , frosted
feet, colds of the chest. It may pre
vent pneumonia and “flu."
To Mothers: Musterole is also
. made in milder form for
babies and small children.

other direction. They say
there might be something in
this sign business after all. Or,
on the other hand, they say it
might be foolish superstition.
If Mr. Miller believed in
signs he would not have made
the trip to Columbia, S. C., on
Saturday. Neither would the
party have ever gotten there.
If Hart and Owens had had
their way, 'the party would
have turned about and come
back to Augusta. \
A cat—a black cat—as black
as oneVj thoughts when a lady
with a big hat sits in front of
them in the theatre, ran direct
ly across the path of the Au
gustans when they were en
route to Columbia Saturday.
It happened near Warrenvillc.
The cat was as black as the
darkness described by Byron In
his immortal poem, or as black
as Whistler's "Nocturne.” It
was so black that the white
dust of the highway gave it an
adventitious lustre, Milton’s
inferno or Dante's hell couldn't
have been blacker.
Hart and Owens were out
voted by the less supersti
tious and the trip was con
tinued. But wait? The worst
is not yet. Near Batcsburg a
nervous Ford truck danced by,
loaded with seven coffins.
There were seven in the Au
gusta party.
This was the "straw that
broke the camel's back” so far
as the superstitious two were
concerned, but Mr. Miller was
still adamant, and scoffed at
any such superstitious fears.
The party got back safely,
the cat and the coffins not
withstanding, but It's a mighty
big chance to take in the
face of such unmistakable
signs.
SCHOOL CHILDREN IN
AUGUSTA SHOW GAIN
IN SAVING ACCOUNTS
An increase is shown this year in
savings of local school children in
the "thrift campaign" fostered by
the Georgia Railroad Bank, and
under the supervision of Mrs. A. D.
Davidson, of the Georgia Railroad
Bank. Thrift banks have been plac
ed in ail of the schools and the in
terest of the children and co-opera
tion of the teachers with the bank
promises to make this year the
greatest since the inception of the
campaign. “Our object in conduct
ing this kink of work in the
schools.” Hugh H. Saxon, vice
president of the Georgia Railroad
Bank told The Herald, "is to instill
in the children of onr community
the importance of saving, believing
that it will bear excellent fruit in
the future for the individuals and
the city.”
In a recent statement issued by
the American Banker’s Association
of savings of school children, it Is
pointed out that "an increase from
$11,807,000 t,o $20,435,000 in school
savings bank balances took, place
during the year closing June 30,
1024. according to a report Issued
by the savings division of the asso
ciation. The report states that the
collections increased from $10,632,-
000 to $14,991,500 in the same period
while the pupils participating In
school savings grew from 1,907,851
to 2.230,326. The number of re
porting school savings systems grew
from 494 to 683 and the number of
schools from 6,868 to 9,080.
"Two real test of the persistence
and vitality of the thrift Idea as
developed in school savings systems
Is manifested in two ways: First,
In the growth of the honor roll,
which during the past year has
grown from less than 30 per cent,
of the entire number of systems to
übove 33 per cent. Second, the
growth and increased efficiency of
the systems established prior to
this vear, the report declare". Com
parisons based on the reports of a
group of about 4Q.0 districts from
which data was available both ns
of June 30, 1923, and June 30, 1924,
show that although the pupil en
rollment in these districts increased
but four per cent., the pupil parti
cipation increased 8 per cent., the
collection 23 per cent, and the total
bank balances increased 44 per cent.
"Second only in importance to pu
pil participation In school savings
is frequently and regularity of par
ticipation. Thrift is not Instinctive
but is subject to cultivation. Con
scious participation In the activities
of school savings banking at fre
quent Intervals Is essentlnl if the
lessons of school savings are to be
factors in a thrifty adult life. The
funamental purpose of school sav
ings aims not so much at the saving
of a sum of money by the pupil*
as It does at the acquisition by them
of the habits of saviVtg and of're
flection before the money acquired
ia spend.”

GREAT JONES SHOWS
SET UP IN AUGUSTA
FOR WEEK OF PLAY
The Johnny J. Jones Exposition !
arrived in Augusta Sunday morn
ing for Us week here with the "Fall
Festival, and immediately began :
putting up on East Boundary at
the foot of Greene Street. A num
ber of interesting facts relative to
this big organization are disclosed
by Ed. L. Suiter, the Jones pub
licity man, which give an idea of
the magnitude of the show and tho
accomplishment of Mu' manage
ment in building the outfit to its
present standard.
The show, according to Mr. Sal
ter, is owned, operated and con
trolled by a single man, Johnny J
Jones, it moves the year round
and it is times that small
sections may no laid up for repairs.
The show owns private trackage,
one and one-half miles of it, at Or
lando, Florida, its home station and
headquarters. It Is transported by
two trains of 25 ears each, includ
ing It) Pullman cars.
The loading and unloading is nil
superintended by one man, Robert
Blgsbee, the trainmaster. All the
attaches oi the show have their
homes on the train while out on the
road, there being about 540 people
on the list of employees. Mr. Jones
carries his own private car for
himself and family, who always
travel with him. The show people
are fed by a concessional! Ife, who
cooks and serves food on the train
at a fair price. There aro dining
ears and a case car, to complete the
rolling equipment.
THE MIDGETS HAVE
SPECIAL APARTMENTS
One of the most Interesting
sights on the train are tho apart
ments for the midgets. All tho
furniture is in accordance with
their size, nnd really looks like a
huge doll's house. The fat folk
are also In special apartments, and
here everything is of a large size,
well braced.
The Jones shows are noted for
the long jumps they make. It
leaves Florida in April, the first
stop being in Washington, D. C„
a journey of 1,100 miles. Thence
to Pittsburgh. Dayton, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee. Min
neapolis, Brandon, Calgary. Ed
monton, Saskntoonf Regina, Winni
peg, and then to the big fair tit
Toronto. From there they go Into
the States once more, piny all the
southern fairs of Importance, with
carylng stops,—finally landing in
Florida on December Ist.
The equipment most in need of
repair goes into winter quarters at
Orlando, which is generally about ,i
third of the shows. A third then
goes to Havana Park and then into
Cuba, and the remaining third
plays through Florida. All Is fin
ally assembled for the big South
Florida fair at Tampa and, tho
Journey through the continent
starts all over again.
"For ten years" said Mr. Salter
who is universally known ns
Johnny J. Jones "Hired Boy." "the
show has never ceased to be on
the move. It Is the only train of
its kind In the world, and Mr. .lone 3
has reason to bo proud of It."

The great enemy of teeth
Film is the great enemy of teeth
beauty. And a chief cause, ac
cording to world’s dental au
thorities, of most tooth troubles.
It clings to teeth, gets into crev
ices and stays. Germs by the
millions breed in it. They, with
tartar, are the common cause of
pyorrhea. It holds food in con
tact with teeth, inviting the acid
that causes decay.
You can’t have prettier, whiter
teeth; you can’t have healthier
teeth unless you combat that
film. ,
Ask your druggist or mail the
coupon for Pepsodcnt. Don’t ex
pect the same results from old
time dentifrices. Begin beautify
ing your teeth today.
