As to the strike situation itself, as we have expressed ourselves before, this controversy between the railroads and the unions may $s well be fought out now as eyev and the issue between them set tled once and for all, for unless this is don6, year after year the same threat of strike is going to be made and business be contin ually upset by the uncertainty of the situation. NEW SIDEWALKS NEEDED TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1921. WXLL FRANCE AGREE TO DISARM? "France must remain armed as - . long as her security has not been assured,' 9 announces Premier To The Editor: We will soon have the best pave.1 streets of any town in the state, and wherever new sidewalks are needed to be in keeping with the street paving, we should have them. I think we should extend Main Street paving at least three blocks south. Old ouf-of-date sidewalks des troy . the . beauty of the pretty paved streets, as they stand now. "New York" block has done the right thing by taking up the old worn out side walks and making new ones, which are a credit to any city in the world. But how ab&ut "Richmond" block between 11th and 12th Streets. Don't you think they should remove the old Briand, who will head the French !r;!ed sidewalks and have new one,, delegation at the disarmament to mateh the paved streets And eonfereTU'' j" Baltimore" block between 9th and T1 , , '10th streets should certainly I lite 'iTTiTiu ft let ii'Ai V" if r finiion embarrassment and is going to have that old high up, ragged, out-of-date sidewalk on the West side of Main be one of the many difficult ones! , , .1 p j Street torn up and graded down and wnieh this conference will have . ,n, ., ,. a tt, made to match the beautiful street to lace, the situation ot France As the old sidewalk stands You see, when you get a new suit of clothes you must have a new pair of shoes and a new hat to match. When you shine one shoe you must shine the other one, or some one will think you are deak broke, or a fool, and either one is mighty bad. I will give the three business blocks new names; Richmond, Baltimore and New York. Watch them grow through the untiring rivalry and competition in business as the town will grow and prospe?. j. d. bay; is such that it has been, and as ip'!ms' , , , , " now it is a disgrace to the town sue sees u, is going 10 uu more neeessiuy for France to maintain a large firmed lorce tnan any j other nation, for she has not yet j regained her confidence in Ger- j many and is not going to be will ing to disorganize and disband lir army until she has a guaran tee of the integrity of France as a nation. During the Peace Con ference France attempted to se cure a treaty signed by England and America agreeing to come to her aid in event of aggression by Germany, thus showing her disbelief in the effectiveness of the League of Nations, and she is not going to be any the more willing now to enter any agree ment whereby it will require her to bisband her armies until her security is guaranteed. It is going to be a difficult and embarrassing situation to so favor France and not extend the same guarantees to other nations, unless it is the intention to form another League of Nations extending the same guarantees to all nations. This conference may yet extend to proportions far beyond the plan ning of its originators. HOT, DIZZY FEELING Atlanta Lady's Uncomfortable and Annoying Condition Relieved, She Says, by Cardui. A COMPARISON OF FREIGHT RATES AND WAGES NOW WITH 1915 There is naturally considerable interest in the contention Atlanta, Ga Miss Alice Frances Young, of 8 East Alexander Street, this city, says: "After entering wo manhood, I suffered so much with womanly weakness. My back ached. I would have, at certain times, a hot feeling VahZ seemed to go to my head. Even my shoulders would hurt, and it made me very dlz&y and uncomfort able. When the blood would flow to my head- I suppose that was what 11 was I would faint and feel so weak. i eouidnt do my work. I had a good position, and this was surely annoying as well as embarrassing.

Jt uutuuiiuil: ill freight rates. Without express ing an opinion as to the merits of either side but as a matter of pub lic interest,, we are giving some statistics which are before us. These figures show that since the year nineteen and fifteen there has been an increase of 78 per cent in freight rates, while the increase in wages for the same period shows on an average, 132 per cent. There is this question involved in this controversy, and which is a side which should be consider ed ; and that is, is it the intention of the railroads, and the desire of the public, that the standard of wages be reduced to the basis ' pertaining prior to the war, or is there a tendency to hold the stan- j dard of wages on a higher level? Certainly there lias been no re-! duction made in the necessities of ', a par with prewar prices.
