LONG ON ROAD
AS AGENT FOR
The GENTRY co.
A VETERAN is COL WILLIAMS
For II Years GCntry'S MAN
in Front"

An interesting and likewise an in
terested visitor in Americas yesterda".
where he is we'll known and claims A
host of friends, was Col Lon B. Will
liams, the handsome and debonnaire
man In front" for the Gentry shows, n
responsible position which he has oc-
cupied for seventeen years continuous
ly while travelling over the Unitel
States with this attraction. While in
Americas, Col. Williams was the guest
CT his cousin, Solicitor General James
r. Williams, at his home on Taylor
street. He is a thorough Georgian,
having been reared among the red
hills of Greene county, though for
many years he has lived In Chicago.
Col. Williams has been in every state
in the union with the Gentrys and
their splendid aggregation of little
animal actors, not a few of which are
his special pets and friends. The mon
keys, the elephants, dogs, ponies and
all attaches of the show know him and
like him. There is nothing in this lat
ter statement to cause surprise, for
animils know good fellow" just as
people do.
Many good stores are told by Col.
Williams of the ups and downs of sho "
life principally the ups, as the popu-
larity of the Gentry show renders =
season upon the road prosperous al
ways. This season, he says, the show
is larger and better than ever before,
with larger number of ponies AMI
monks" and more thrillers in the
way of special show features.
OF the near 300 horses and animals
with the show there is but one that does
not like this genial Georgian. Seven
years ago, Col. Williams detected an
elephant in the act of stealing popcorn
from a vender. He scolded the ami
NAL and struck it lightly with small
switch. The elephant, enraged, started
for him, but the keeper came up in
time to prevent troubles.
THAT was seven years ago." SAID
Col. Williams, "and that elephant hates
me to this day, despite my profuse
apologies. They never forgive any
enc who strikes them and that rascal
may some day square accounts for tn 1t
switching of seven years ago."

white house bride has succumbed to
the prevailing French modes and has
included at least three direct impor-

The wedding gown made in New
York, is according to all bridal tradi-
tons, being kept concealed until the
wedding day. Mrs. Wilson was pres

Miss Jessie Wilson has no supersti-

While a private view of the wed

Menu Six Months, Committed
Suicide

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Social welfare
workers are interested in the fate of
Selma Peterson, a 19-year-old girl
employed in a clothing factory. who
committed suicide after she had lived
for six months on meals, which food
experts had said were sufficient to
sustain life. Her reason for her act
was given in a note:
Wages too low. Life not worth
living"
In notebook she had set down
her weekly expenditures, showing
that meals, room rent. car fare and
laundry took 1925 of her So wages.
There were entries which stated that
her daily diet consisted of the fol-
lowing:
For breakfast, coffee and rolls; for
dinner. beef stew and milk and rice
pudding; for supper, fruit, salad,
graham crackers and milk.
Shortly before the girl died she re-
gained consciousness. To a physi-
clan she said:
Doctor, did you ever live for six
months on 20-cent dinners?"
The menu in the girls dairy was
submitted to an expert on food val
ues who asserted it contained all of
the elements necessary to support
life.

The Progress Made
By One Prep School

THIRTEEN years ago leading citl-
zens of College Park organized
themselves in united effort to have a
great prep school and induced Colonel
J. c. Woodward, who had already
done signal service in several other
cities in schools. to found the Georgia
Military Academy
The modest beginning with one
other teacher, one building and a
limit of 40 boys has rapidly grown
to a large faculty of distinguished
educators, a beautiful campus. seven
handsome buildings, with every mod
ern sanitary comfort, and an equip
ment which easily takes rank with
the very best in any State.
Last year the student body num-
bered about 1876, from some 20 States.
Mexico and Cuba.
The school represents the spirit Of
progress on every public occasion
and has three times represented the
city and State in Washington in in
auguraI parades. Its standards are
high and the young men who attend
the school come from leading homes.

~ UBTLE influences that mold
mind and character are very
apt to be discounted by people
who do not think deeply, or those
who do not observe and correlate i'm
pressions, but the majority of those
who watch, compare. analyZe and
study as far as possible the mental
makeup of the people with whom
they come in contact have found out
to what surprising degree habits Of
thought, and consequently character
have been influenced by the things
of which people are but vaguely con-
sciOus from day to day.
Underlined. unnoted relations with
friends and acquaintance, the chance
book that falls accidentally into ones
hands, a conversation heard on the
streets, or in the cars. that sets into
motion a new process of thought, the
neighborhOod in which one lives and
the very houses themselves all help
to a much larger degree than is com
monty recognized in molding and
changing character. after all is but
the product of the influences, both
subtle and definable, that surround
person from day to day.
Influence of Environment.
1t is also true that men and wom-
en- in their later life unconsciously or
consciously envelop themselves in the
atmosphere to which they grew ac-
customed in the surroundings of their
younger days II is for this reason
that the student and the educator in
sist that the child and. later, the col
legian shall be environed by cheerful
healthful and beautiful surroundings
This knowledge that the minds of the
students will reflect just the atmos-
phere of school or college environ
ment leads schools and colleges of
the State to yearly give more atten-
ton to the mere physical equipment
of their institutions, and no better
illustration of an educators belief
in the influences of material environ
ment can be found than in Brenau
College, at Gainesville, Ga, where
years of intelligent and interested
planning have established building
after building, all harmoniously con-
struCted, and all spaciously and beau
tifully arranged within and without.
Instead of the usual narrow, ugly
halls and unsightly walls, the small
ill-lighted rooms, the occasional bath
room, that used to be the inevitable
interior of the older college buildings
in the State, one finds more and more
frequently nowadays light. airy cor
ridors, bright and cheerful rooms
well-lighted and ventilated, ar
ranged not only with regard to health
and convenience, but with an eye to
beauty and attraCtiVeneSs as well

people are but to protect themselves
against men who debaSe their office
and betray trusts: but, had the Office
, been honorably discharged and the
trusts faithfully executed by the men
as such, from the sentiments Of the
heart and dictates of honest mind
there would have been no complaint
on the part of the citizenship, nor any
cutlery against the institutions Gre
ated for the government of the re-
public. It was, in the final ANALYSIS,
but the complaint of citizen against
citizen-the cry of disappointment
through the agony of betrayal on the
part of men against the men intrust-
ed with place and opportunity.
The election Of Senators by the di-
rect vote of the people was not de-
manded as better system than that
which had been devised. under the
theory of checks and balances, in our
Government. designed by the philoso-
piers who laid our foundations, but
because in these elections, as had
been prescribed through the Legisla-
lures, the most unspeakable betrayals
had been perpetrated upon the re-
public; corruption and public crime
had stolen through the Legislatures
in the different States, and the sa-
credness of the oath Of office was a
mockery; while the open Haunting of
their practices by those who had
benefited through the prevailing cor
ruption was the SANDER to citizenship
and the disgrace to the States of the
Union.
Peoples Agents Yielded.
At first, this began through forces
and influences which inaugurated the
systems to defend themselves against
control by the people in those things
by which they profted upon the peo-
pie. Then the agents of the people
finally yielded to the Establishments
of influence and the course of cor
ruption, and became in common with
the originators and perpetrators. and
through such succeeded in putting
upon the country from time to time
United States Senate that was
neither representative of the public
will nor expressive of the nations
wisdom or honor, but often of a kind
which had reduced the United States
Senate to where it could only be des-
ignated a proud mems club for spe-
cial privilege to the privileged few
and these privileged few were often
public Offenders against the honor of
the nation and the liberty of the citi-
zen.
The election Of Senators. therefore,
by the vote of the people, now Sc
cured after so years Of conflict to OBJ
tain such, was but a form of protest
on the part of the American against
an infamy constantly perpetrated
upon him and his country. He took
the only method which he believed
was the immediate remedy. In adopt
ing this the citizen does not profess
that this is the most perfect system.
1t is a mere expression of his belief
that it will remedy the oft-polluted
one which he was compelled to en-
dure. Here again it is to be observed
that had the man in the citizen con-
templated his duties in the discharge
of trust, and his obligation as a rep
