Bailey, believed by her frlehds to have been the onlyv survivor of the passengers who rode on the De Witt Clinton, America's first railroad train, died Wednesday at 104. She had been ill since Friday. * Mrs. Bailey was fond of telling about her trip on the quaint De Witt Clinton, the "stage coach train that first puffed between Albany and Schenectady in 1831. Her little brother was leaning out the window. A trainman seized him by the seat of the trousers to save him from falling. "Don't do that," she recalled the. * boy protested. "These are new breeches." Mrs. Bailey was born January 27, 1832, at Thompson, Conn. When she was 4 her parents took her to Seneca Falls. She married Dr. James S. Bailey, whom she met at Cazenovia. He died in 1883. They lived for a time in Augusta, Ga., where Mrs. Bailey's parents lived.

TWO EVILS This country is more seriously afflicted with alow car drivers than it ia with speedsters. There ought to be as much law against driving too slow as there is against driving too fast. ..Nothing is more irritating than to KfiL boblwd some sap in a Sunday afternoon that pokes along on a orowded highway at about 12 miles per hour. Because a string of cars are bbth, coming and going, you can't puss the sap referred to above. ..These slow highway nuisances are composed of the folLerlng types that travel at the gait named: Doaf-a-long-ers 10 m. p. h. Rib squeezers 11 m. p. h. Model Tees 12 m. p! h! Chronic huggers 8 m. p. h. Slow-pokes 14 in. p. hJ No. 1 Road Hog 75 in. p. h. No. 2 Road Hog 15 m. p. h. Turkle Doves 7 m. p. h.

(They really ought to stay parked at home). 1 . .If a man drives recklessly, say, at 80 to 90 m. p. h., lynching is O.

OUR FIRST LONG-DI8TANCE AUTO RIDE ..I recall my first long trip in my first automobile which was the second automobile ever owned in the small ftown where I resided. This trip required lots of faith and much hope, as our rendervous was 83 tulips, as the worm crawls from our home. And not even a top-soli road had ever been, thought of at that time, 1910. ..We started early and actually carried a chauffeur, but I did the driving, being afraid to risk anybody with that fine car. Our first trouble came upon us when I backed the car out of the barn; a toothpick or a thornor something punctured my left front tire. The chauffeur patched It in less than an hour. / ..We got up the road nearly 3 miles before we got stuck, it had rained 2 or 3 weeks before, and the roads were very muddy and extremely rutty, and extraordinarily bumpy. The chauffeur and 3 fence rails got us out in less than 72 minutes. We got back in and started: ,our linen dusters all got mighty dirty, and' I broke one lense out of my green eye-goggles at this first stop. One second tire trouble blowed out after we had gone about 12 miles. We were expecting tire trouble, as we had already driVen those tires oyer 225 miles by the speedometer. We had 4 extra tires with us; changing tipes was a problem In those days, but the chauffeur did the Job in less than 2 hours. When we got a-golng, the wife let her long motoring-veil hang over the side of the car too far and It became entangled in the brakes and Jerked her out. backwards. No damage much, except to the* veil. (Ours was an open car with ton always down). ..Our next 26- miles brought us the following trouble: fan belt broke, brakes burnt out, pitcock dragged on ground, broke off and let all of our oil leak out, radiator developed leak where a chunk had flown up and hit K In the face, ran out of gas, 3 spark plugs quit firing, had 6 more punctures, ran out of patching and cement, left 4 of the kids 4 miles behind?over-looked her when we bad halkhed adjusting the carbureter, no's It wouldn't let gasoline leak out. Had to go back and stop her from picking huckleberries. '..By nightfall we had arrived within ,14 miles of the summer resort we Were seeking. We spent the night In town. Got a blacksmith to go m* ?ur Chalmers and tighten up eyerytbtag. The ear was so mnddy and dirt*, it looked like an abode hut. ?h>tbee almost a tqtal Jos#. The chauffeur and I both weighed it ?*?* Um when we arrived at the the ft#* . ** ataoom. Wa had- spent 7 dollars getting pulled out of mud-hole* by S mules and 3 highway robbers.

In makinK the decision,' the attractive Kiri raised by the Daniel L. Pittniunn, of Atlanta, us Louise Madeline Fittmon exorcised her court-granted privilege and * decided she was the daughter of the John C. Garners, of Macon. It wa6 in 1919 that Mrs. Garner und Mrs. Fittmun gave birth to daughters at Grady hospital, city operated institution in Atlanta. Mrs. Garner's baby was born on May 22, Mrs. Pittman's May 28. Both mothers clailned they were given the wrong baby, but that error was believed corrected to the satisfaction of all concerned. When they left the hospital the Garners said, however, the baby given them was not theirs. Months passed and the dispute raged. Then it was decided to let the hospital superintendent decide the parentage. Before his decision came, the baby the Garners named Mary Elizabeth died, ' Subsequently, the Garners went into court in an eff&t' trf obtain cusTofly of Louise Madeline. Judge George L. Bell ruled in 1920 the child would remain with the Pittmans "until of an age to make a voluntary choice of her own deciding." Last week Louise Madeline came to visit the Garners who moved to Macon two years ago from Atlanta. Neighbors said they noted strong resemblance between the Gurdner'a three other girls as they stood together. ' . "I love the Pittmans of course," said Louise Madeline. "They were good to me but somehow I haven't felt they were my parents. I do feel the Garners Are and that these are my sisters. "I don't want to hurt them (the Pittman'B in fact, I can't bear to tell them myself. I'd rather they would * see It In the papers." The beaming Garners had a word to say. "Her name from now on Is going to be Mary Louise Garner, said the head of the house who is a veteran locomotive engineer. "The baby which was given to us was called Mftry Elizabeth, and since this girl is used to being called Louise, we are going tto combine the names." "~* i Mrs. Garner said she never doubted the child was hers. In Atlanta, grey-haired Mrs. Pitt- . man, mother of two- other children, was Just confident that the girl is . her child. ' ' - /'God Is my God," she said. "I know" Louise Madeline Is my baby, and 1 ? have all the faith in the world that she will return to me. "If she chooses to live With them, then "piL-have nothing more to say about! It. "Of course she knew of the 'mixup' a/fer she was eight or nine years old. Yes, there was some doubt In i her mind whether she was really our baby. "My baby? Certainly she Is. "Good girl? Certainly. "Pretty? She has dark brown, hair and eyea and is pretty as a picture.

Says Comedians Made, Not Born Hollywood.?Those with leanings for a carepr* as r comedian will do well tc try something else. Not that the stage or screen is so fully suppiled with comedians, but from a survey of leading. screen comedians It wks revealed that, to a man, every one started working at something other than being funny, p v . Whether this is essential to a successful comic career is problematical, but it does seem that comedians are "made," not horn. W. C.
