Gotham Speaker Says GIuttony 10
Worst Of Seven Evils In
Society.

New York.-"There are seven dead
ly sins Of which women in society are
guilty" declared Mrs. Mildred Manly
Easton at the Aston hotel in an ad-
dress before the Life as a Fine Art
club, Of which she is the president.
The seven feminine sins, according to
Mrs. Easton. are gluttony, laziness,
fear, envy, jealousy, revenge and lust
Il place gluttony first in the list
because 1t seems to be woman's beset-
ting sin. We are digesting all the
time. From breakfast until luncheon
women digest; from luncheon until
dinner time they digest again, and
after dinner they are digesting the
greater part of the evening.
'Laziness is the next most i'm
portant of our sins. There are hun
dreds Of women walking around every
day more dead than alive
Next comes fear" she told her
audience. Fear pinches us until we
have no circulation. We grow fearful
Of poverty. Of loneliness, of trusting
any one, and we are SO afraid of be-
ing seen talking with a person who is

oped into snobs.

ONE FURNACE HEATS TOWN
Houses at Mexico Are Warmed With
Steam From Mains Under
the Streets.

Mexico, Mo.-This town, with a pop
ulation Of 1000, has a system of heat
ing which is found generally only in
big cities-a system of heating from
steam mains laid under the streets
The steam is one of the by-prod-
ucts Of the Mexico power plant. which
supplies gas, water and electric light,
for the resident of Mexico to worry
about the fuel problem. He does not
need to get up early In the morning
to remove the ashes from the furnace:
he need not worry about gas supply.
All he has to do is turn on the steam.
Practically all the business build
ings on the town square are heated
by the system. And In addition to be-
ing more convenient than the old sys-
TEN of furnaces. 1t is a good deal
cheaper.
The power company started the
heating system as an experiment; now
1t Is unable to lay mains fast enough
to satisfy the people Of Mexico. The
residents in all parts of the tow, are
clamoring for the extension of the
system.
The company now has between one
and a half and two miles Of steam
mains and is building more as fast
as possible. 1t is an expensive pro-
cess. for the steam pipes are laid In
a concrete base and must be protect.
ed by a layer of asbestos. But the
cost OF operation. once the mains are
laid, is very slight, and the charge to
the consumer is far less than that en-.
tailed by individual furnaces with coal
or gas.

NEED SMALL LAND HOLDERS
Tenancy and Isolation Disappear With
Their Attendant Train Of So
ciaI Ailments.
By f. c. BRANSON, President OF
Georgia State Normal Cnllege.l

(By f. G. BRANSON. President or
Georgia State Normal College.)
Every agency of rural betterment
becomes possible when instead Of a
small number of large landowners
there Is a large number of small land
owners, who occupy and till the
farms they own. Tenancy and isola-
ton disappear with their attendant
train of social evils. Better farming
follows, along with better business
and better living on the farm. The
burdens of taxation are widely distri-
buted. The few do not feel that their
purses are MIXED by the tax-gatherer
for the benefit of the many. Commu-
nifty effort is easily centered upon bet
ter roads, better schools and better
churches.
And so, when we are struggling in
our counties with all our might and
main for better home and school con-
ditions, we are saying to the landless
man, with all thy getting get land.
Multiplied home ownership is a bed
rock of safety for home, for commu-
nifty, and country. 1t is still possible
to get under your own vine and fig
tree Good land is still cheap In the
south. Do not sin away your day Of
economic grace"
We are saying to the owner of large
estates. with all thy getting. get at
least the wisdom of intelligent SELF
interest. Sell small farms to likely
tenants at reasonable prices. Multi
ply the small farmers of your county
and increase the value Of your remain
ing acres. Put money in your purse
meanwhile, If you will; but consider
the poor and lowly and leave a place
in the earth for them. Farm your own
land. Consider the present, and ap-
parently the permanent. high-prices
of farm products. Invest literally in
the means and agencies Of community
progress. The return to you is in
evitably greater than the outlay.

Oakland. Cal.-The difficulty of
Mick Dabenich, who weighs 1856
pounds, in explaining just how two
footpads had managed to toss him on
to the roof Of saloon, twenty feet
high. led today to a tale of nocturnal
adventures which ended with Daben-
ich's admission to the police that it
was he who made an unsuccessful at
tempt to rob the safe of the Franco
American Wine company. and who left
a courteous note, explaining that
"nuthin' was taken"
The note proved the adventurer's
undoing, for it was after comparing
1t with a sample of Dabenichs hand
writing that Chief of Police Peterson
wrung from him the confession of his
attempt to crack the safe.
Dabenich appeared at the office Of

been searching for the burglar who
had entered the office Of the wine COM
pany. and Chief Peterson asked Da-
benich to write his name The hand
writing was exactly similar to that
of the note
After making several unsuccessful at
tempts to explain just how he had
been thrown to the roof, which
seemed the only weak point In his
story, Dabenich blandly admitted that
he was the disappointed craftsman
