This borrowing capacity gives the
city the ability to solve its many per-

as well as leading citizens, frankly say
municipal improvements are far behind
the developments from private effort.

1.-THE world is growing better instead
of worse; this is the bath tub age;
cleanliness is next to goodness, and
Atlanta is having a perpetual revival,
said local real estate dealer today. He
was discussing the good old times
when gentle folk wore powdered wigs
and danced the minuet and washed
on Saturday nights when it wasn't too
cold.
"Civilization follows the bath tub,
he continued. "The steady growth IN
the plumbing industry has only kept
pace with the increased demand for
cleanliness.
There was a time when the rich
man was known by his sheep and kline;
then the standard of wealth was jewels
and gold; then railroad stocks. Re
Gently man was measured by the mo-
tors he owned Now the standard of
wealth is determined by the number Of
bath tubs to the square inch of foo
space in his new residence.
In the GOOD Old Days"
you read of the fair women and
brave men of the colonial period, mod
els Of department, the very creme de Ia
creme. Well, there wasn't a bit Of
plumbing. open or otherwise, in one Of
those colonial manor houses. Every
Saturday night the butler or the maid
brought a wooden wash tub out of the
back yard, where 1t had served for the
home laundry, poured in a gallon of hot
water from the kitchen. and my lady's
bawth' was ready.
That sort Of bathing wasn't an en-
COuragement to take a tub every morn
ing. l believe 1t is still done that way
in dear old England. where the hero Of
a novel talks constantly about his
morning tub, as though he couldn't get
it off his mind I couldn't either, If my
tub were a tin saucer six feet in diam
eter and seven inches deep, set in the
middle of a 40-foot room with a cold
stone floor.
II remember when the first running
water, hot and cold, bath tub was
established in Atlanta. 1t was put in a
thin walled wooden closet built on the
upstairs back porch of a handsome res
idence, and 1t was the talk Of the town
for six weeks.
Every One Demands Bath.
Since then the bath tub business has
prospered. l can't sell or rent $12-a-
month cottage now unless it has a bath.

Man of Today Is Known by Bathtubs He Keeps
CL EANLY ERA IN ATLANTA

True, I've known tenants to use the tub
to keep their coal in, but they insist on
having it. anyway just as they insist
on door bell whether it rings or not.
1t is a badge of responsibility.
For years after the first tub was
inaugurated nobody dreamed Of hav-
Ing more than one. A person might as
well have had two sets of false teeth.
A few years ago, however, large and
commodious residence was planned and
the owner demanded two bath rooms.
The architect didn't think it possible.
He said it never had been done, there
wasn't any precedent for 1t, and he was
certain it would spoil the architecture.
But the owner insisted. the architect
surrendered, and nobody suffered.
Bath For Every Bed Room.
Since then the tendency has been
toward a bath for every bed room, a
shower on the sleeping porch and lava
tories in the hall 1t wouldn't surprise
me to see front verandas and drawing
rooms fitted Up with exposed plumbing
and eleven kinds of porcelain handles

to go into the plumbing business.
There's a famous old residence on
one of Atlanta's best known streets. 1t
has twenty rooms, hung in expensive
tapestries, covered with imported rugs,
adorned in hand-carved woodwork. But
It had just one crude, uncomfortable
bath room. 1t has been rented fire.
quently since the family sold it. One
tenant added a second bath and an
other put in a third. If succeeding
years do not put three or four more
bath rooms in that old mansion 1t will
be because there isn't room to place
them"

A "CHAIR OF SMILING"

A professor in one of the west
ern universities has suggested a
Chair of Smiling and a course in
Good Fellowship.
We have courses in decorum
and courses in composure and
courses in the direction of en-
ergy.
Then what reason is there
against inaugurating a course in
optimism? Why shouldn't our
young people be taught to think
along the path of sunshine; to
look for the brightness in life in
a scientific, methodical way?
Too much of the present-day
learning is inclined to make
gloomy people of us. Smiling,
which is a sort of a banner of
optimism, has too long been the
uncertain matter of temperament
instead of reliable habit of life.
AS a rule the majority of per-
sons are attracted to others who

TO TURN ON OUTSIDE
LIGHT FROM WARM INSIDE

Electric light companies main
tain that porch lights are great
protectors of the home and that
burglars will not venture to at
tempt an entrance in any part of
a house that has an outside light.
While most houses having
porch lights are wired so that the
outside light may be turned on
from the hall. there are some
houses wired in such a way that
one must go out on the porch to
turn the light on. That is espe-
cially inconvenient these cold
evenings. Such a householder
arrange the porch light

of their smiling when perhaps it
is the opposite which is true.
They seem to radiate happiness
and opulence and We say their
paths lie in pleasant places.
But, maybe, they lighted the
paths with their own smiles first.
There must be a way in which
thought can be brushed up with
light touches. Athletics teach the
man to control his temper; the
gymnasium limbers up his mus
cles; course in ethics sets his
face toward the moral standard.
There surely is a place for a
course in smiling.

should not come into the medical
