Ml HIED WRONG YOUTH
Atlanta Boy Mourned as Dead Lands
Hack in Parents' Home.
Atlanta, July 17.? John \V. Hinton,
Xi\ yea r old Atlanta youth, who was
thought to have been run over and
killiul by a freight train near Carters
villc, (la., Tuesday, astounded his
parents and coterie of relatives and
friends when he greeted them today
at Uogart, about 50 miles from here,
after they had buried what they sup
posed was his body beside that. of his
mother in a cemetery there.
The body of the youth killed by the
train positively had been identified as
the. Hinton boy by his father, step
mother and relatives and had been
viewed by a large number of school
mates and friends, none of whom en
tertained any doubt that it was other
than young Hinton. Insurance ad
justment papers already had been j
signed by the company -which wrote 1
a policy on the boy's life. .
The youngster, who ran away from
home arid hud not been heard from
since, was found L?y accident* at the
home of his I a tie mother's parents at
Smithsonia (la., near Hogart. His
cousin-in-law, who had attended the
funeral and then proceeded to Smith
sonia to see his wife, who was visit
ing in the same house with the boy,
found him there and rushed back in
an automobile with him to Bogart,
There, the* funeral party was met
just as it was boarding the train to
return to Atlanta. With hardly time
for cither to express their astonish
ment the parents stepped on the train
wjth young llinton and the tangled
skein of eyents was unwound as the
train sped toward Atlanta.
The youth was overcome when ho
learned that he hail been mourned as
dead.
William H. llinton, his' father,
plans kgal steps to permit him to
remove the body of the dead boy from
. its present resting1 place in the Hin
; ton family plot and reinter it in
? another part of the cemetery.
Meanwhile, efforts are being mailt)
I to learn the identity of the youth who
f was killed.
Cartersville, ? Cia., July 17.? The
youth who was killed by a freight
train here last Tuesday was Collis
Harris, 16, of Ulakely, Ga., Horace
Singletary who was With the dead
boy at. the time and who was injured'
seriously when the train struck them,
as they stepped side by side on the
track, said tonight.
Singletary, who previously had said
that he did not know his cbmpanion
in the accident, explained to the po
lice that he tried to keep the youth's
identity a secret because he was "in
love with his sister and did not want
her to think him responsible for his
death."
Singletary, who lives near Blakely,
probably will recover, according to
physicians attending him at a local
hospital.
Beware thv Bumpers. ?
"Mississippi has a way of holding
down speeders that is all her own, ac
cording to Mr, J. F. Faulkner of
Yorkville.
"There art* no speed laws in the
state," says Mr. Faulkner, "and on
entering an improved road, you lire
not confronted \vitH^ou?tiee t? t' the
speed limits; but njere^ with a sign
which says: 'lie ware thenunipers.'
"Unless you have, been told, you do
not know what this sign means; hut
because of the unusual nature of it, it
kinder sticks in your mind, until by
experience you learn the real facts.
"A long stretch of good road ahead
and no cars or other obstructions
ahead, you are tempted to hit them up
a little faster and by the time you
have got your speed up to say twenty
or twenty-five miles an hour you
take a sudden jump up to the top of
the car and maybe get your head
bumped. After this has happened
two or three times you begin* to
watch the road more closely and then
you see what is the mutter. There
is a little sign out at the side of the
road saying 'Beware of the Bumpers,"
and fifty yards or so farther on,'
there is a neatly rounded ridge rising
up before you. Ah, now you have it.
If you hit that ridge too hard you
are going to get a jolt and instantly
you press down on the brakes.
"You can get along at the rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour if
you keep a careful lookout for theso
bumpers, but if you don't watch the
bumpers, you are going to break your
springs or your neck? maybe both."

Standard Gasoline
suits the demonstrator
Many well known can
tune up best on "Stand
ard" Gasoline. Many dis
tributors use it exclusively
for demonstrating. What
more practical proof could
you want of its excep
tional quality?
Made in South Carolina
Ever notice how many automobile
agencies have "Standard" pumps?
They are not always out to sell "gas".
More often the pumps are there for
their own convenience in demon
V
strating cars.
Here are men who certainly are on
the inside, men who can judge gaso
line performance from A to Z. They
want to show up their cars to best
advantage and they know "Standard"
Gasoline will do the trick.
It's been no easy matter to bring
"Standard" to its position of leader
ship. It has cost, and is still costing,
everlasting expenditure of energy and
money to make it better and still bet
ter. Only in that way have we been
able to get and to hold the confi
dence of car manufacturer, demon
strator and general public.

'STANDARD"
GASOLINE
The wonderful new fuel ? "Standard" Ethyl Gasoline ? now avail
able at many ''Standard " pumps, completely eliminates "gas knock".
More power on the hills! Less gear shifting! Less vibration. Ask
V the man at the pump about it.
"Standard" is the trade mark of the Stanaard Oil Co.

Hungry Jellyfish Drive
Herring From North Sea
Brvmeidiaven.? -European lchthyoh>
glsts have become greatly exercised by
the diminished numbers of haddock
and herring in the North sea, from
which virions Iillipr.i'.innli'l'1" oh+ttfn
thelr principal fish supplies.
Several conferences have been 'held
by those Interested In the Hah Industry
to consider what steps may he taken
to remedy the situation. The herrincj
began to disappear three years ago,
and the haddock some months later.
Fish exports attribute the dimin
ished numbers to Incredibly large
schools of Jellyfish and various forms
of sea nettle .which wAre swept In
from the Atlantic o?Wn,ln 19'JO, when
several changes were reported In the
different Atlantic currents.
The Jellyfish came in a Mood of
warm water and made themselves at
home at once, consuming the food of
the herring in such great amounts that
the herring were unable to subsist.
When they began to disappear the
haddock, too. began gradually to di
minish, as it is upon the eggs of tho
herring that the haddock exists during
a great part of the year.
German Scientists Find
Hoof-and-Mouth Germ
Berlin. tiertniiny. ? Bacteriologists
t hroughout Europe have been inter
ested in tin* recent jTnnouncemen' ! ere
? ? f the discovery of a bacillus capable
of reproducing til*4 hoof-ond-mouth
disease in animals. Specialists have
come tn Berlin to investigate further,
while there have been many letters
and cablegrams from the tidied
States and . England, where there have
been epidemics this spring. News of
I he discovery came from Prof. I'aul
Krosch of the Itoy til Veterinary col
lege, who has been working -on the
problem several years in conjunction
with Professor Dahmer.
The new bacillus has not yet been
sub jo 'ted to sufJIoicnf confirmatory
tests to make It possible to say posi
tively that it i< the linal solution of
the difficulty, but medical Journals in
ttormany. ami England have written
ent husiasllc articles about it. and va
rious authorities have ventured to pre
dict that this enthusiasm has not been
misplaced.
According to writers mi veterinary
subjects fit these periodicals, -the hoof
and-mouth disease is supposed to have
been a European malady for more
than "J.oon years, though it was not
until the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries that positive proof of iia
presence was found.
