MCCORMICK GUSTS RAGEN AND
BURG FROM COMMITTEE
The efforts of President McCor-
mick of the County Board to further
increase the salaries of three men,
who are already very high priced,
were defeated yesterday at the con-
clusion of a heated speech against
the proposed increase by Commits
sioner Frank Ragen.
Mccormick asked that Supt. of
Public Service Robert E. Kenyon,
who now gets $4,000 a year, be rails
ed to $4,000; that w. o. Chapman,
warden of the County Hospital, who
now gets $4,000, be raised to $4,000,
and County Agent Joe Meyer be rails
ed to $4,000.
Mccormick, in asking for the sal
airy boosts, claimed that these men
had saved money for the county.
Ragen charged the Mccormick
crowd with playing politics at the ex-
pense of the poor of Chicago and said
that worthy cases were not given aid
at the county institutions because
Mccormick wanted to show a saving
of money at the end of his term to
further his own political ambitions.
Ragen also said that when any
suggestions as to raising the salaries
of the minor county employees, such
as the scrubwomen and janitors,
came up the Mccormick herd always
pleaded that the county could not af-
ford the money.
The question of salary increases
for the three Mccormick men went
over until Monday.
However, in remaining the commit
tee of the board, Mccormick got in
his work by bouncing Ragen and
Burg from the finance committee
and naming Novak and Anderson to
take their places.

it can not be regarded as an expert

a victim of the besetting sin of the

A HIGH SCHOOL THAT Is WORTHY

AT Montezuma last week the Amer
icus High School representatives made
a record that every citizen of Ameri-
Gus should be proud Of. This record
ia a good one in itself, but when it is
taken with the many others that ha, e
been made by tae High School 81
similar meets becomes all the more
noteworthy
Though the local school did not
compete at all in the athletic contest
it came very near leading all the con-
testing schools. This record is a re
markable one, with the athletic con-
tests, it is practically certain that the
victory in number of points would
have been won by it.
As it is, the local school has a rec
ord which signifies its victory in the
real high school branches in regard tC
studies. Athletics form only one part
of the school work. and studies should
rank as high, if not higher, than ath-
letics. For this reason the standing Of
the local contestants is more signiti-
cant than at first appears.
1t is hoped that the local school wiz
enter the athletic contests next time.
That there is no athletic ground for
the students of the school is unfortun-
ate This would serve to stimulate ID
terest in this vital phase of school
work, for one cannot forget the prin-
ciple of sound mind in sound body.
The local school has once more vindi-
Gated the merit of it's work and of
those who are guiding its destinies

WHERE STORMS ARE BORN
Popular Errors Regarding Their Or
igin and the Course They Pursue
(From the Pal Mall Gazette)

(From the Pal Mall Gazette.)
The occurrence of a destructive
storm in America has once more caus-
ed people on this side of the Atlantic
to be alarmed over the prospect, or,
rather, the supposed prospect, of the
storm ravaging the British Isles. This
is a survival of very popular error
which was started when the modern
method of studying the weather
was in its infancy
1t is, of course, well known to me-
teorologists that atmospheric disturb
ances may travel thousands of miles;
in fact, one has been traced from the
Philippine Islands and Japan across
tn north Atlantic to the Baltic. But
these cyclonic systems are constant IN
their behavior
1t seems to be the general rule that
continental storms lose their energy
on passing out to sea, while storms
W H1CH dlS OfCl tllC NcitC- >
near a coast line, become more en-
ergetic after they arrive over the land
Some of the worst gales which afflict
western Europe are generated off the
Irish coast or on the Bay of Biscay.
The storms which visit the inland
states of America either collapse be-
fore they reach the Atlantic or they
undergo complete modification after
arriving over the ocean, thus differing
in an important manner from sea-gen-
Grated storms, such as West India
hurricanes, which maintain their ac-
tivity as they sweep round from the
tropics along the West Indies and
the American coast and reach the
northern part of the Atlantic, carrying
gales to western Europe or to Iceland
and the Arctic.

ADVISED MARRIAGE vows
Promise of Obedience Considered Of
No Practical Significance
Washington Post.)

The promise of obedience is of no
practical significance at the present
day and does not reflect present con-
ceptions of the relation of the wife to
the husband. 1t is not in all marriage
services, and it might very we'll be ON
tilted from all.
But vows which are mutual and
reflect the practically universal con-
illusions of civilized society that mar
riage involves affection and is design
ed to be permanent cannot be omit
ted without very serious results in So
ciety, and while the changes are gem
orally demanded by women, the prac-
teal effect of the restraints they i'm
pose is principally upon the man, and
their relaxation will cost the wives
more than the husbands
The other day there was performed
a very modern marriage, the vows in
which were written by the bride, and
the principal change from the usual
form was a promise of mutual es>
TEEN" This elevated, tranquil and
cool emotion is entirely practicable
between a married man and woman
other than his wife; between a man
and many women The substitution of
esteem" for love" is an admission
that the relation between husband
and wife is not radically different from
that between any man and any wo-
man. A general acceptance of this idea
will affect women more seriously than
men
Why pledge anything if love is not
pledged? Among the very highly ad-
vanced social reformers the pledge of
love is protested against on the ground
that we cannot control our emotions
Who can tell they ask us, whom he
or she-will love next year, next
week, tomorrow? What then is gained
by substituting esteem for love? #
this advanced couple are not sure that
they will love each other for 10 years,
or one year, or month, are they any
more sure that they will esteem each
other in perpetuity?
There is absolutely no gain for We
racity in substituting the cooler for
the warmer sentiment, but there is a
distinct lowering of the conception If
the basis OF marriage. and there is an
implied lowering of the idea of the
duration of the relationship. Both of
these changes will be found in time
to hurt the woman very much more
than the man, and they cannot but
impair the sanctity Of marriage
idea which has its uses.

SCIENCE AND THE BURGLAR
Modern Inventions Utilized by the

(From Harper's Weekly)

(FrOm Harper Weekly.J
Science while aiding mankind in
all kinds of benefcent ways, is at the
same time aiding the cracksman to
pursue his nefarious work with much
more neatness and dispatch, and with
less danger to himself, than ever be-
fore. The modern burglar now spurns
the clumsy outfit of crowbar, jimmies,
and skeleton keys. He knows trick
worth dozen of those. He carries a
few ounces of nitroglycerine, cylin-
der or two of oxygen and acetyline,
and a blow pipe. With these easily
concealed tools he can force his way
through the toughest steel,
The blowpipe is the deadly enemy
which the safe manufacturer is now
trying with the aid of science, to Cir
cumvent. Under the intense heat that
it generates the strongest steel crum-
pies up like paper. A circle some 2
feet in diameter can be cut through
the metal, even if an inch thick in a
few minutes.
A steel plate which a shell from 4

victim to a few cubic feet of oxygen
and acetylene gas in combination.
When the thermite process for weld
ing lion was discovered, advantage

purpose of burning through plates of

Deadly forces must be handled with

skill of manipulation that, if put to
some legitimate use, might open up to
him an honorable career.
Quite recently safe-breaker, whose
successful career was suddenly halted
by the law, fairly amazed expert scien-
fists by the completeness of his
| library, which comprised a valuable
collection of books in French and
German written by scientists for pre-
sentation to technical societies. He
made a speciality of the subject of the
force of the blowpipe on metals He
admitted that he had spent three years
in this study. A laboratory adjoining
his library was small and compact,
but for completeness of equipment
would have done credit to a science
school In this laboratory he had
made some improvements.
No sooner does the scientist discov.
er some tremendous force than he
must set to work to counteract that
force in the hands of the criminal. 1t
is said that recent experiments have
produced q steel that will even with
stand the blast of the blowpipe.

ECONOMY IN BRIDGE-BUILDING

From time to time the press of the
state stresses the fact that bridge
building to-day is done cheapest when
done most permanently. The failure
q. the recent proposed bond issue for
Sumter countys bridges, which would
have made them permanent and would
have resulted in a considerable saving
for the county, is to be regretted III
the light of these well established
facts. In discussing the economy of
steel bridges the Savannah News has
the following:
Almost every year there is a season
of bridge building in South Georgia,
made necessary by the destruction
wrought by spring freshets. Much of
the time money and labor expended iii
repairing the damage is a dead loss,
since If the bridges had been built
more substantially they would, have
withstood the test when the time OF
high water and swift currents came.
The great majority of those destroyed
are of flimsy wooden construction and
their builders doubtless know from eX-
perience that they very probably will
not last more than few years at best.
1t should be borne in mind that
| bridges are very important part OF
the roads. 1t is foolish to build good
roads-that are cut by streams-alIj
at the same time build weak bridges
| For days and weeks after the high wa
| tiers of the spring subside many roads
ale rendered useless because few
bridges are swept away. The result il
that farmers and everybody else thai
travel the roads are greatly inconven
fenced at a time when they need tn
use of the roads very greatly. Sever.
al South Georgia counties are having
just that experience now. And unless
they replace the destroyed structures
with more substantial ones the chances
are that they will have it repeatedly.
Most of the counties that have beer
replacing wooden bridges with con.
crete find that in the long run the ex,
ira expense is justified because the lat.
ter withstand the swifter currents Of
the streams in the spring and there
fore don't have to be replaced, and al
