Rider Of First Train
In United States Dies
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 6.-?Mrs. Fannie

have been the onlyv survivor of the
passengers who rode on the De Witt
Clinton, America's first railroad train,

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

She married Dr. James S. Bailey,

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.
Moon Gazers 16 m. p. h.

say, 5 m. p. h. J can forgive him,
but these love-birds and these "lt'sas-much-my-road-as-it-is-hia'n"
and the
smart alecks that make love in low,
they ought to be relegated to the side
roads or back yards. (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. K.
for him; but, if on the other hand, a
chump with a good car slows down
traffic that can't pass him fou-the reason
too many cars are meeting him, j
why, lynching would be entirely too
good for him; that Is?if he persist-1

at a snail's pace, Just for pure lowdown
meanness., Tl*e roads are full
of big, o. d., little and young tormentors
like that. ' Where highways Willi
permit It, the speed limit ought to
be: maximum, 55 m. p. h., and minimum,
30 m. p. h.
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

Young Girl Changes
Home After Dispute
Macon, (Ja.?A dark haired, browneyed
Kill claimed by two families in
a baby mix-up 17 years hko left recently
the one which reared her in
favor of the other which she hadn't c "
aean until a week ago.
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.
Fit turn n, a meat cutter, added finnr
ly:
"We are in the right... She is our." .
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. Fields and JVed Allen, both
highly regarded In uthelr particular
laugh fields today, ttailed stage work
as jugglers. ChaiHef Ruggles and
ter roles, with the former essaying
old men for several years at the beginning
of his theatrical career.
The late Will Rogers began his
career tn circuses add WOd West
shows acting just as m rope-spinner.
Lynne Overman played juvenile roles
In stock companies, while Jack Oakie
first blinked his eyes at footlights in
musical comedies as a dancer.
On the other hand there's Jack
Benny, who currently Is being starred
in Paramount's "The Big Broadcast
of 1987." Bea& who studied
violin as a child, started bis stage
work playing a vlolth"ft;>l two-act
with Zeb Oonfrey, composer of tho
popular "Kitten oh the "Keys."
