NO One SHOULD REST
EXCEPT WHEN ASLEEP
Professor Says Mind Should
BE Employed

New oYrk, Oct Backward Lee
Thorndyke, head of the department
of psychology at Columbia university,
has prepared a set of ten rules which
he says will enable any one to get
along without vacations, which he re-
CARDS as an unnecessary luxury. Dur
ing no waking moment, he says, SIS
there excuse for idleness on the part
of the mind. Instead of a rest the
mind should be given new work. No
one should rest an instant save when
asleep. The more the mind does, the
more it can do My ten rules for being
able to work all the time are as fol-
lows:
"Sleep all that is possible.
Get rid of all physical ills.
when one interest flags find a
new one
Always keep on hand a supply of
motives or desires.
Never learn by a roundabout meth
cd what can be learned directly
Never allow the mind to dwell on
subject that may not be used.
Waste no effort.
Never worry.
"Never become excited unnecessari-
| ly.
Think out what should be done
and then do it without talking it."

Savannah Morning News.)

| More than 200 Georgia women will
assemble in Athens Tuesday for the
annual state convention of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. This
will be the eighteenth annual meeting
of society dedicated to keeping green
the memory of those Georgians VIII
fought for the South in the War Be
tween the States. Athens is preparing
to do honor to the visitors, and its
Chamber of Commerce has called up
on the business men of the city to
decorate their shops and offices with
the Confederate colors, emblems of
those ideals which the Daughters OF
the Confederacy serve.
That the meeting should be held in
Athens is eminently suitable, since
there is placed the greatest memorial
work the Georgia Daughters have yet
established not monument to dead
heroes, but the Winnie Davis Memoir
ial Hall, a dormitory at the State
Normal School where girls of Confed-
crate ancestry may live while being
trained for professional life, and
where the chapters of the state have
furnished rooms and given scholar
ships to needy students. For many
years educational work of this kind
has been carried on, and besides build
ing and maintaining the Winnie Davis
Memorial Hall the Georgia Daughters
Keep an educational fund known as
the Francis Barlow Memorial Fund
from which scholarships are given to
the mountain schools of the state. Pri-
cate contributions for education are
often received and these are applied
to general scholarship funds and
placed at schools in various Georg a
cities.
Since the beginning, more than T.
600 Georgia women have been enroll
ed as members of the state branch of
an organization that is represented,
not only in the South, but in many
other states has membership of more
than $4,000. Savannah has the larg-
est chapter in Georgia, with a men,
bership of $50, and its single contribu-
ton annually to the Barlow Memorial
Fund is $500. 1t maintains two rooms
and three scholarships at the Winnie
Davis Memorial, and the ch'ldren's
chapter of this city, which is also the
largest in the state, has furnished a
third room there.
Organized in day closer than our
own to the great strugg e, the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy have cherish
ed the memories of that sad and
splendid tine, interpreted its ideals to
a younger generation, and through
their devoted labors win preserve
those ideals and memories to poster
ity AS the bitterness of the war has
come to be forgotten and the sense of

because the farmers and the mer-
a short haul parcels post. He, there
fore, contended for a graduated scale
of rates instead of fiat rate, being
joined by several senators on the
committee, and the house bill was
amended accordingly.
The senator's interview follows:
81 do not think the public realizes
the value of the parcels post measure
VIII CHI passed at the session of con-
gress just adjourned. l was on the
postoffce committee which had this
subject under consideration. Great
labor was given to the measure. Ex-
perts were examined and more than
ten volumes were prepared and pub
lished on the subject
AT the outset of the investigation,
farmers, as rule, were advocating
what is known as a uniform rate par
GELS post; that is to say, a parcels
post with a uniform charge for sery-
ice all over the United States.
5 measure dIOu5Su lie uOStIl-
fly of local merchants, and they, in
many instances, lined up against any
kind of parcels post. l reached the
conclusion that what is termed a fiat
rate or a uniform rate all over the
United States for the parcels post
would be unwise, and that the right
kind of parcels post would be benef1-
cial to all the people-the farmers
and the local merchants.
"a mistaken idea existed that be-
cause a uniform rate was charged for
letters, the government would carry
packages weighing as much as eleven
pounds with a uniform rate with equal
facility. The misrepresentation SEEM
ed to exist as to the elements of cost
to the government in its mail service.
"The governments expense con
sists of two eiements-one for hand
ling the various packages, the other
for hauling the various packages. The
handling expense is largely the same
for each package, but the hauling ex-
pense increases in proportion to the
weight of each package.
THE government charges for its
mail service two cents for each let
ter-the letter cannot weigh over an
ounce. The experience of the post
office department shows that the av-
erage letter weighs third of an
ounce. A package weighing eleven
pounds, therefore, weighs 528 times
as much as an average letter. The
haul charge is, therefore, SIS times
as much an element of cost to the
government on an eleven pound pack
age as it is for the avel age letter.
Depends Upon the Distance.
"The haul charge depends upon
the distance the haul is made. Where
the haul charge is unimportant, the
distance of the haul is, therefore, un-
important; but where the haul charge
becomes a serious element of expense,
the distance of the haul becomes to
that extent a thing to be considered
in fixing the charge of the service.
IF uniform rate was given for
eleven pound packages all over the
United States, one of two things
would necessarily follow-either the
short distance hauls would be carried
at very much higher rates than the
expenses Of the service to the gov
eminent. or II the rate was put down

Leaders of Partisan society who pos
sess English greyhounds or wolf

tinction on the owners and go best
with the simple tai or-made costumes.

are very elaborate, including, besides
ordinary coats, boots lacing high up

will protect the government from loss,
and, as I stated, will be reduced, II 1t
is found that the cost of the service
iustifes it. The parcels post, with
the rates under which it is figured
should enable the merchant in the
small towns and nearby cities to sell
to the farmers and deliver to them
all through the year with little cost
and great convenience the smaller
products required by the farmers.
81 believe 1t will prove of great
service to farmers, to merchants and
to the public generally, and that when
it becomes perfected, those who have
desired different system and those
who have opposed it altogether, will
see that 1t will really prove most
beneficial according to its present
plan.
1T has been evident that parcels
post would be established. The peo.
pie of Georgia are to be congratulate
ed that the plan adopted, while 1t
will injure none OF them, will serve
many of them"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-10-30

The postmaster general may make
provision for indemnity, insurance
and collection on delivery with addi-
tional charges for such service, and
may, with the consent of the inter
state commerce commission after IN
vestigation, modify rates, weights and
zone distances, when experience has
demonstrated the need therefor.
Senator Hoke Smith is a member of
the postoffice committee of the SEN
ate, and took very active part in
the framing of the bill. He has given
an interview in which he explains
the bill in detail, showing how the
graduated scale of rates will operate
and how the parcels post will benefit
the people.
The bill as it passed the house
provided for fiat rate of II cents
per pound with a maximum of IL
pounds. In other words, the cost
of shipping a package would be the
same all over the United States. A
package of any weight up to eleven
pounds would cost as much to ship
from Macon to Atlanta as it would
cost to ship from Macon to Seattle.
The postofice committee of the
senate, when the house bill came to
IL, took good deal of testimony on
the cost of transportation. Senator
smith reached the conclusion that a
nat rate would work an injustice es-
peclallX on the people of Georgia,
