SHORTER LOCOMOTIVE
vent ON A Big JAG
Sticks Its Nose Into a Ditch
at Rome

Atlanta, Jnne 28.-Word comes to
Atlanta of an amusing accident that
happened this week at Rome, when
the greasing of some railroad tracks
on steep grade caused locomotive
belonging to Shorter College to run
away and plunge it's nose into a
ditch.
1t is a rather unusual thing for a
college to own a steam locomotive at
all, but this one is used in pulling
freight cars 10 the top of the hill on
which the new buildings are being
erected. The street car company, US
ing the same tracks, had heavily
creased them, and when the engine got
on the grade with two or three heavy
freight cars. il simply ran clean away.
falling to respond to brakes or sand
or anything else.
The authorities of the college, how
ever, wasted no time worrying over
the mishap, but ordered the wrecking
crew out from the Central Railroad,
and soon had the tracks cleared, or
dering a new engine at once. Tha
work is going ahead and the build
ing will be completed by October list.

THE SUCCESSFUL
WIFE CHANGES
By Barbara Boyd.)

The French say that the successful
wife is the one who constantly re-
news herself. Each new day a new
person.
Provided this daily new person is
always charming, it's rather good
definition, isn't it? The woman who
each time you meet her shows a diff
ferent side of her character, and this
side charming, is delight And as a
wife, such a person is a constant joy.
Life is so generally monotonous
that the one who can throw some va
riety into it is welcome The hus-
band who can look forward to a wife
who at the breakfast table or when he
comes home at night is always diff
ferent, yet always charming, has an
attraction in his home that nothing
elsewhere can rival. The woman who
can play this role will, indeed, be a
successful wife.
You know exactly what some peo-
| pie will do when you meet them. You
know what they will talk about, even
their little mannerisms of CONVERSE
ton You know how they will greet
you, how they will say good-by. You
can guess fairly well the style of
their clothes. They give you no sense
of surprise, no exhilaration. They
are wearisome. 80 =
Some wives are like this. They think
when they marry, that now their
lives are completed, and they settle
down to a routine existence You
can guess for years to come just how
they will say good-morning, the re-
marked at the breakfast table about
the coffee or the butter or the steak,
the things they VII say to the children
when they start for school, their
greetings to their husbands on their
return from business at night. They
never exert themselves to think up
something different. Usually, they
are good housekeepers, and think their
husbands ought to be satisfied with
this The monotony, the tameness,
the deadly dullness of their home new
er seems to strike them.
There is a difference between con-
stantly renewing ones self and being
a person OF moods. To renew one
self is to go 10 the fountain head OF
ones personality for fresh supplies OF
sunniness, alertness, enthusiasm, CO.
quetry, whimsically. 1t is always to
have the one mood of delight and JOY
in life, but to express it differently
Such a person adds zest to the life OF
those about her. She starts the day
brightly for her husband, and the
thought of the radiance awaiting him
4 quickens his footsteps at night.
But to be person of moods is diff
ferent The husband who never knows
whether he will find suIlen wife, an
i'll natured wife, a worn-out wife, feels
no more desire to hurry home than
does the one whose wife is always
monotonously the same
The French are wise in these mat
Iters, and the recipe they give for a
successful wife is one worth putting
into practice,
