undeniable pulchritude, has accom-

and cost many millions of British dol
lars and thousands of British lives
conquered the stout heart of a nun
blooded Boer a follower of Dom PAU
Kruger in the days when South Atrl-

WIKI. of Johannesoure, Transvaal,
South Africa. who stopped over IN
Atlanta Friday on pedestrian tour
of the world. The conqueror is
blooming American lass that Mr.
WIKI met shortly after he crossed the
Suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls

lantd bubbiing over with enthusiasm
for America-and American girls.
To Wed American Girl.
Il will return to America" he said,
after / complete my tour of the
world ! expect to locate in this
country and marry an American girl.

MIR WIKI says he intends to write
a book about his experiences in which
he will include chapter about At

ting pedestrian, he says he is not do
ing ii on any wager, but simply be-
cause he wants to. His people. he
says, are wealthy and send him
money, although sometimes when his

Beautiful Thoughts
Of a Dying Child
To Tie Editor OF The Georgian.

To the Editor OF the Georgian:
When the snow was falling in At
lanta last week little DeLos Hill, then
very i'll, was rolled to the window by
his mother to see the mantle of white
covering the earth With wan
smile, he exclaimed, Mamma, l don't
like that
Why, darling" inquired his
mother.
Because the poor will suffer-" was
the little fellows reply.
With a room filled with flowers and
ported plants sent by his schoolmates
and other little friends who called
daily to inquire after his condition.
he spied little bowl of goldfish one
Of them sent to amuse him Himself
helpless and unable to even turn over
in his bed, DeLos called the trained
nurse and said The little fish should
be put in a lake where they viii have
more room to play" A few days be-
fore his death he awoke from coma
and exclaimed, Samuel, Samuel
said the Lord. And Samuel an
swered, 4 hear Thee
In his confession OF faith, made a
few months ago before the congrega-
ton Of the North Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, the Rev. Richard
Ormc Finn and those present were
astounded at the fullness Of his con-
viction and the clearness Of his an
swers to biblical questions which
were propounded. When asked why
it was lie seemed unafraid and dis
played no nervousness, although
standing before the entire congrega-
ton, he answered, Because God
called me-
And Wednesday evening just as
twilight settled down after a beauti-
full day God finally called the little
sufferer to his eternal home. Without
a struggle, without a murmur he
went out, the door was opened, the
great Leader bcckoned and DeLos

CRAFT RUBBER TO
HUMAN TISSUE
EXPERIMENTS MADE IN PARIS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL - SUR
GEoN ANNOUNCES DISCOVERY

Paris, March 12.-Prof Pierre
Delbet of the surgical clinic of the
University of Paris has communi-
Gated TO the Academy of Medicine
a report of his discovery of the feas-
ibility of grating India rubber on
living tissues. Prof. Delbet descrlD-
ed two cases in which he said eX-
periments he made proved success
full.
In one of these cases, where the
flesh of a finger had adhered to the
bone, making the finger useless, the
professor said he had interposed a
thin sheet of rubber and that the
patient is now able to use the
finger freely.
The other case was an extensive
hernia of the large intestine. y
thin sheet of rubber grated into
the abdominal cavity, Prof Delbet
said, gave absolute permanent re-
lief.
The members of the Academy
were strongly impressed with the
report of Prof. Delbet and were
unanimous in their expression that
this method opens great possiblli-
ties in restorative surgery.

II is certainly remarkable how quickly
the action of $. ). s., the famous blood
purifier shows itself in the skin.
There is one ingredient in y. ). ;. which
peculiarly stimulates cellular or glanduar
activity TO select from the blood, or from
the fine network of blood vessels in the
skin, those elements which it requires for
regeneration.
Thus pmples, acne. eczema. lupus, or
any other blood condition that attacks the
skin or seeks an outlet through the skin Is
met with the anitdOtal effect OF s. ). >.
This is why skin troubles vanish SO
reidily and why they do not return. un-
der the influence of :. $. $. this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin Is con
stantly selecting from the blood the nutri-
tion required for healthy tissue and the
cause of disease is just as constantly be.

prowth may come from reciting TO
others. but far more from your own
preparation and class work. The
nassing of an examination means
only that the pupil sat up late the
night before. Such sort OF training
never made a scholar or good citi-
zen. Remember it is you who failed
and not the teacher, and get busy!
Someone has said that the secret
of success is first work, second
work. third, work! Not the teach
er's work but your own. Are you
one of those looking for a soft snap?
certainly hope not. wish every
pupil would memorize the following
quotation from Ruskin: "lf you
want knowledge, you must toll Tor
it, and if pleasure, you must Toll
for it. Toll is the law. Pleasure
comes through toll and not by self
indulgence When one gets to love
work, his life is happy one"
The proverb, Learn to labor and
TO wait" is a good one, so when
the teacher calls on you for WRIT
ten problems or oral work, it is not
for the teacher to do the recitins.
Finally loyalty is expected of you.
LOYALTY to your better self; to your
schoomates; to your class, to your
teacher, and to Ardmore.

NOT FLOODED WITH
FOREIGN GOODS
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE is oP-
TlMISTIc FOR BUSlNESS-CUR-
RENT RUNS OTHER WAY.

Hartford, Conn, March 11.-William
c. Redfield secretary of commerce, ad-
dressing the state business mems as
sociation of Connecticut here tonight,
asked with smile what had become
of the threatened flooding of American
markets with foreign-made goods, at
tracted by the new tariff schedules.
"All men are witnesses that the
flooding of our market with the prod
ucts of the so-called pauper labor OF
Europe has not occurred" he said,
NAY, the total imports for the entire
period since the tariff came into ef-
feet actually are less than for like
period year ago. What has become
of the millions upon millions in value
of goods waiting to be unloaded upon
us whereby the power to purchase
more cheaply was to bring disaster
and distress upon American indus
tries?
Instead as editors and speakers
look over the cold, hard facts of our
foreign trade, their remarks about the
flooding of our markets must come to
their thought as those things one
would rather not have said.
Meanwhile the current has run
strongly the other way and particu-
larlv is this true in the shape of fully
finished materials. Our foreign trade
in this country continues to grow, be-
side the normal fluctuations from one
month to another in the total export
business. These, if there were any that
felt that the flooding had come when
December imports rose to the largest
ever known. namely $1S4, 100000, must
have experienced a rude shock when
imports for January fell off more than
$40 OOO 600. so as even to be less by
almost s9OO0,0OO than in January
1919. We expect a growth in the I'm
norris of manufactures under the new
tariff that competitive conditions may
exist to the general good. We eXpec
that a larger growth will take place
in the expectation of manufactures
that business may run more steadli!
in our American shops and that thu
gold of the nations may be brough
in increasing quantities into the poci
cts of our people
The secretary was optimistic con
cerning general conditions.
Locking about over America Wit
horizon large enough TO cover it al
one sees no serious factors tendln
TO trouble" he said. "The fall @
prices has already begun. 1t takes tim
to filter through the various phase
of distribution to the individual buye
through the retailer, but the process
is begun and well begun"
The situation among the unemplo,
ed. Mr. Redfield regarded as impro
ing. Affairs in that respect Il
said. ARE better than they were
month ago: very much better tina
they were sixty days back"
