SPRING WILL BRING RE-
NEWED ACTIVITY IN
BUILDING CIRCLES
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

COLUMBUS, Ga, Feb. 26.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issue for this
week:
Conclusive evidence of the re-
sumption of activity ond the return of
prosperity in the Southeast is afforded
by the reports of construction work in
progress and definitely planned, and
the establishment of industrial plants.
Though the volume of construction
is large. The early opening of spring
work is not what could be desired, it
is helping to create building activity,
and the number of substantial struc-
lures which are being erected and
which are to be built Immediately,
together with municipal and county
improvement work, constitute a big
volume in the aggregate. With the
general progress of business toward
wholly normal conditions, building
activity is increasing steadily.
"Cities and counties through the
Southeast are doing and are preparing
to do Immediately an immense amount
of construction work. Albany, Ga,
will vote upon the ISSUANCE of $4,000
of bonds for erecting an auditorium
and school building; Huntsville, Ala
has voted $4,000 of school building
bonds, and Hawkinsville Ga. $25010
of building, sewer and waterworks
bonds; Palm Beach county, Florida,
will vote upon issuance of $75000O. Of
road construction bonds; Dade county
Florida, will vote upon 100000 Of
bonds for the same purpose.
Contracts for different kinds Of
public and private construction are
being awarded in substantial numbers.
"A total of thirteen new corpora
tons were organized in the past week
with minimum capital stocks aggre-
eating $363,00O
Among the items Of construction

Hqrd1Uick Has
Few Friends
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Ex-senator
Thomas w. Hardwick's insistent hold
ing out against his brother democrats
on the shipping bill is costing him
even those friends who stuck by after
his first opposition, but it IS evident
that some of his staunchest supporters
cannot stand by him further.
The Macon News says editorially:
The News was inclined 10 defend
Hardwick for the reason that his
course in opposing the ship purchase
appeared entirely consistent with his
long-standing antagonism to anything
savoring on government ownership.
However, Mr.. Hardwick has spoiled
it ALL When the bill was first intro
duced the purport of the measure was
for the provision OF emergency rellef
to the American shipping interests.
Then it was that Mr.. Hardwick so Bit
terly opposed it. Subsequently, the
bill was amplifed to provide for per-
manently owned government marine.
Then Mr. Hardwick, casting consist
ency to the winds, actually presented
an amendment which provided for
federal owned merchant marine for
two years. He now favors what he
first opposed. plausible explanation
seems impossible"

also at times bribed his sisters when
the time came for the afternoon h
to do something else, thus giving him
an opportunity to make love to the

One day when Jack was driving the
governess in n runabout they met two
of his friends, Ned Morgan and Char

not necessarily much different from
that of an ordinary person, and the
young men thought little OF seeing

so by occupying his side of the road.
Phelps greeted the g~overness with a
hearty Good morning, Miss Auchin-

Object Of Boy Scouting.

Character development, through an
attractive yet wholesome program of
activities and the required daily good
turn by scouts and community service
by groups of scouts is the fundamental
object of scouting.
Every step in the scouting program
is but a means TO this End. The vari-
ETY. and interest al we'll as the practi-
cal knowledge insured by the tender
foot second class and first class tests
are. after all, but a means for holding
the interest of the boy, pledged to the
scou oath and law, under such leader
ship as will bring about character de-
velopment. Likewise, the whole scheme
of merit badges is primarily for the
same purpose. The form of troop or
ganization, the scout master and his
assistants. the local council and indeed
the national council and all of its off,
GERS are also but a means to this end.
This character development mani
tests itself In health, efficiency, chival-
ry, loyalty, patriotism and good citizen

Chief Scout Executive.

The Brides introduction.

They had been married only two
weeks and We're going to spend the
evening with friends. They were to
meet friends of their friends there. It
was expected that there would neces-
sarily be a show of dignity when the
bridegroom and the bride arrived. All
of the company We're there and sitting
around looking their sweetest when the
bridegroom and the bride arrived. A
bride always makes dignity essential.
1t happened that the bridegroom was
the particular friend of the host. The
latter had never met the bride. She
was coming into an entirely new cir
Gle. 1t was expected when the Newly
weds arrived that Mr.. Newlywed
would stammer and blush when he
introduced Mrs. Newlywed as his wife.
Not so for this boy. He sauntered in
preceded by the dignified bride. Ev-
erybody in the parlor bristled up. But
IL wasn't TO be a bristling affair at all.
Mr.. Newlywed simply swept around,
caught the host by the arm and led
him before the bride.
Dave. meet the old lady," he said.
Dignity exit. Everybody laughed
and got acquainted in a hurry. The
good natured introduction of the host
to the bride loosened up the strings of
social stress. The 'old lady found
herself among friends.

They Are.
This game is always a favorite. and,
while not new. it may be made TO
seem SO by choosing new characters
each time of playing.
The hostess prepares In advance as
many slips of paper as there are guests
expected, writing upon each the name
of some well known character In fic-

Upon the arrival of her friends as she
greets them she pins n of the bits
Of paper on the back OF each. The
wearers do not see them or know what
characters they are supposed to repre-
sent, but are expected TO guess it from
the remarks of the rest, who are care
full not to tell the name. For instance,
the Queen of Hearts" may be compli-
mented upon her domestic talents and
her delicious pastry and be asked
whether her dishonest servant had re-
formed or been dismissed.
Little Red Riding Hood" may be
condoled with on the death of her
grandmother and warned of the dan
ger of making chance acquaintance on
the road.
Henry Will" might be rallied on
his fondess for the ladies and question
ed about divorces: Goliath advised

his unlucky venture in a church. He
walked out of the Emmanuel Presbyte-

them at a second hand book store.

Harold had violated his probation.
He came before Judge Wilbur some
years ago for burglary. Judge Wilbur
gave him a ten year sentence and sus-
