Play Censors- Consistency of Folly

WE have heard of the folly
wv of consistency. II is time
to speak of the consls-
tency of folly.
Sturgeon the English preacher,
declared that a man who was
consistent with himself was con-
sistent with a big fool, following,
at safe distance, Emerson,
who said that "a foolish con-
sistency is the hobgobllu of little
minds, adored by little statesmen
and philosophers and divines."

Editor The Georgian:

w yHEN DR.. Duncan, the dis
w tinguished smoke expert
from Pittsburg, was in our
city recently he gave out an in
terview which was full of sug-
gestions. He said II we could be
cut open we would find a cupful
of SCOT in our lungs-one-half
cup to the lung. That is not very
pleasant reading, but to get right
down to the bottom of the mat
ter, who that has a pocket hand
kerchief can doubt it?
DIR. Duncan suggested remedy
the same prescription we had
already been given by our own
smoke inspector, DIR. Poole. They
both said the only remedy was
twelve-m minute limit for stocking.
DR.. Poole had already urged that,
but 1t was cut in two and changed
to six minutes, which Is not the
same thing at all. Besides, II
was shown that to change to six
and then to twelve would work a
great hardship and necessitate
two adjustments Of machinery
which would be two expenses in
stead of one. Why not do it right
and have it done with?
While this might appear to
work to the disadvantage OF own
ers of large stacks, in reality 1t
would not. Even IL 1t did, what
right have they to maintain a
nuisance damaging to the life and
property of whole city? That
looks like class legislation to pro-
tect a few at the expense OF the
many. What they really need is
protection against themselves, for
If they were made to consume
their own smoke they would add
greatly to their fuel.
But rot alone the big stacks,
but private houses as we'll, could
perhaps do better. We all know
that our chimneys smoke and in
jure our property and that Of our
neighbors, but have we ever tried
to find a remedy? Even after the
big stacks have been eliminated
and they must be-there will still
remain a great deal of SCOT and
smoke from the private residences.
What can be done about this?
Everybody knows that there is
no more astute citizen anywhere
than Hon. Frank P. Rice. Some
time ago he put in a new furnace,
and told the man he wanted 1t
fixed so that he would consume
his own smoke and get the worth
of his money. He was told it
would cost $500 extra, but he paid
it. and now he says: Il consume
all my fuel; there is no waste,
and my chimney produces a thin
white vapor that is no trouble to
me or my neighbors"
What paradise Atlanta would
be If we all had smoke like that!
WE COULD THEN READ THE
STREET NUMBERS.
DR.. Poole has been very con-
sentative. He has made valuable
suggestions all along the line,
without using any drastic meas
ures. But that can not go on
forever. What childs play to
send for a doctor and then not
take his medicine; yet that Is
just what our city fathers have
done. That reminds me. One of
the best stories told by the Won
derful teacher of Helen Keller
was about taking the little girl
out and telling her about the
birds and the trees and the flow
ers and all the beautiful work of
Mother Nature.
Now" said Helen, what has
Father Nature done?"
In a way, perhaps. our city
fathers might be likened to Fa-
Their Nature and if they don't do
something about smoke and other
things the city Mothers will rise
and ask them why.

The Women Are Rising.

Years ago on the big planta-
tons in the South the word
would go around: THE negroes
are rising" l don't think they
ever rose, but the very idea
struck terror to every heart. Now
the word has gone around the
civilized world that the WO-
MEN ARE RISING, and it may
strike terror to some, but it is
coming!

of us in some things. 1t is we'll

man who tires of her better half

any circumstances. In England,

Aunt Harriet only Shook her head.
Billy looked over at the CORNER
where the old gentleman sat, and
was quite sure he saw him wink as
he dropp'.d his eyes to his paper.
On Christmas eve Billy was sittdng
in the dining room alone. Nora was
in the kitchen and Aunt Harriet " wa
up stairs with the nurse. His father

the door bell rang. He got u,p and
went to open the door.
There was jingling of BELLS and
who do you think stood at the
door? Why, Santa CLAUS himself!
He wore a long red coat trimmed
with what looked like snow for it
glistened and glittered in the light.
On his head was white cap i'm
which was stuck a piece of holly.
You thought 1 wasn't going to
call at your house this season didn't
you? You see I came early. May I
come in?
Billy was too surprised to speak !,
but he led the way to the parlor.
Santa rolled the bag off his back
and be gam taking out packages.
Here's THE candy ! brought it in
h box, for knew it would be- EARLY
for you to have your stocking up."
Billy's face shone ais he thanked
the giver, but Santa CLAUS was busy
drawing out other packages. There
were toys games and books. Billy
had never had SO many things for
Christmas before.
ooh. oh," was all he could say
as the packages appeared.
well my boy. l hope you will
have "a very merry Christmas. . said
SANTA as he picked UP the bag and
started for the door.
THANK you very much,' said
Billy Footsteps were approaching
and SANTA Claus dakted Through the
door CLOSING lit SOFTLY aftpr him.
Billy darted to the window but it
was SO dark he could only see a
figure disappearing Through tihe
