Attitude on Education.
Il was very forcibly impressed with
Booker +. Washington's attitude to-
ward education. There is a lot OF
stuff In this world called education
that is not education. This man was
perfectly sane. on this subject. In his
best book called MY Larger Educa-
tion," Mr. Washington insists that the
truest education comes from mixing
and mingling with all sorts and con.
ditions Of men rather than from books
and schools alone. This was exactly
the attitude of Americas greatest phil
osopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, when
he said:
You must, for wisdom, Tor sanity,
have some access to the mind and
heart of the common humanity
This is the only way to break down
our prejudices born of too much learn.

True education comes from mixing
and minEltng with all sorts and con
dftions of men rather than from book
and schools alone" said Edgar Hin
presiding officer at the Booker T
Washington memorial exercises held
at the Second Baptist church last ev
ening. "This was the attitude OF Mr.
Washington" the speaker said, land
It shows his true greatness"
The address of Mr.. Tiff was a high
tribute to the noble life OF the great
educator and reformer. The address
in part follows:
I'VE are here tonight to pay tribute
to a man who did something; a man
who inherited nothing but left great
name; who began at the bottom OF
the ladder and mounted to the top
round.
Shakespeare said that some are
born great, some achieve greatness.
and some have greatness thrust upon
them.
Greatness Not inherited.
1--WE do not believe in America that
any man can be born great. Kings
of royal blood were said to have been
born great and that their sons In
heriting the throne had greatness
thrust upon them. There is no great
ness in mounting throne built upon
the slavery and slaughter, or upon the
skulls and skeletons OF men.
I'VE believe in one part only OF
Shakespeare's saying - that some
achieve greatness. They are neither
born great nor have greatness thrust
upon them. Such men as George
washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln. Alexander
Hamilton, Thomas Edison and ulysses
s. Grant achieved, carved, wrought
out their greatness.
I'VE are not here to speak OF racial
differences. Humanity closes the
chasms of birth and race and stretches
its hand across every sea OF division
made by the ignorance and blind pre-
JUDGES of men.
Character the Test.
mo man is your or my superior be-
cause of what he owns outside OF him
self or by any boasted ancestry. There
is only one path to superiority. II
a man is kinder, more just, gentler
more manly, wider in his humanity
stronger in his love Of mercy, more
valiant to do justice, more devout IN
his humble walk before his God, then
he is my superior no matter what
his race, color, creed or party AMI
liation.
Booker T. Washington is one OF
the highest illustrations of this
thought. He made good. His htghes,
teaching by word and deed was that
man must depend upon himself. He
made brighter the old saying that the
gods help those who help themselves
The whole universe is on the side OF
any man who is honestly and sincere
ly determined to make himself place
in the sun. This man insisted that his
people cease to be Independents and
wards of the nation and stop begging
at the white mans kitchen door. He
cried to them: IT'S up to you! &C
to work! Study, learn, do things. Be
men! Improve your opportunities
There is place for you, and in time
the world will recognize your worth.
This may be said to many white
men, and would be said oftener t.
them if the contemplate political dem
agogues did not throw dirt in their
eyes. The result is that men whine

Artificial Skies.

Sky and air are the hardest things to
initiate on the stage, but this old prob
lem has been solved. Clear sky, cloudy
sky and distance effects are obtained
by shooting light on a very carefully
built concrete dome. The smooth
white surface Of the concrete reflects
the light rays in so many directions
that they all blend. At the same time
the light thrown on the dome is care
fully filtered to obtain just the right
color.
The combined result can be made to
give the impression that the roof over
the stage has been taken off to let the
sky in. Then, with moving picture
machine in the wings, cloud effects
may be added without dift1culty.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Some Pet Aversions.

julius Caesar was so much afraid OF
thunder that he wanted to get under
ground to escape from the terrible
noise. Queen Elizabeth always shud-
dered when the word death was pro
nounced in her presence. Marshal
SAKE, who knew no fear in the hottest
battle, would fee with screams from a
cat. Peter the Great dreaded always
to cross a bridge. Byron would not
help any one to salt at table nor would
he be helped, and if salt was spilled
he would leave his meal unfinished.
Many such peculiarities could be cited
from the biographies Of well known
men.

Orioin of the Sun FIaq.

The origin Of the emblem Of the
sun as the japanese national symbol
dates back to time immemorial. The
first record Of it's use on land is that
of a famous war lord of the eleventh
century; again in the fifteenth century
the emblem was adopted by the feudal
lords and warriors. The connection Of
the emblem with the navy is also deep
rooted, having had local usage as early
as Il A. D., and more extended field
in 10 A. D. The official adoption Of
the sun flag to represent the nation took

Atlanta, Nay 26.-An affidavit by
Mrs. Leo NJ. Frank, detailing what she
knows offer husbands movements and
actions on tie day of the Mary Phagan
murder, will be presented before the
State prison commission at the hear
ing here next Monday on Franks ap-
plication for commutation of the death

pend upon the commissions ruling.

mission by Albert S. Osborne, hand
writing expert of New York, in which
Osborne declared his belief that Frank
had nothing to do with the murder
notes" found beside the body of the
Fhagan girl. James Conley, negro

THE CoRNC0B PIPE.
At Times It's Risky, and 1t Doesn't Go
Well With Silk Hat.


The corncob pipe is democratic in
stitution. One evidence Of the fact that
this country is not so democratic as
foreigners believe is that, according to
the code Of an American gentleman,
the corncob pipe must not be smoked
while wearing silk LdI. On the 9th
er hand, it may be for this reason that
Americans so seldom affect the silk
hat.
But some men find difficulty in
adapting themselves to the Missouri
meerschaum." They contend that the
first puff from new corncob pipe IS
like a breath from the neither regions.
This aversion arises from the circum-
stance that, like a sponge, new cob
pipe should be dipped in water before
it is used. After the first pipeful OF
tobacco has been smoked it will be
found that liberal coat Of ashes has
attached itself to the walls OF the pipe
rendering it thereafter much less like
ly to burn the tongue than if it were
initiated without the formality Of bap-
tiSm.
There is one place, however, where
the cob pipe is distinctly dangerous
and that is in the mouth Of beginner
in the mellow art Of smoking. Moth
ers who dread the day when their sons
snail feel obliged to assert their en-
trance into mans estate by acquiring
a taste of tobacco will do we'll to buy
a corncob pipe and leave it carelessly
about the house In time it will be
missed. So will the boys appetite
But the appetite will come back.-ln-

DROWNING OUT A FIRE.
High Pressure Water Streams That
Tear Down Room Partitions.


Just think of picking up a pond or
a small reservoir containing about 30
600 gallons Of water and throwing 1t
bodily ut fire, and then picking UP
another pond or reservoir containing
the same amount CT water and throw
inc that at lne lige within 4 moments
time, ana keeping up this performance
every minute for an hour until the fire
is drenched With nearly 100000 gal
Ions of water. Quite a bucket bri-
gade," eh?
Practically that is what the New
York fire department does today With
its high pressure system, for with TINS
method of water supply the lEemen
can obtain 10000 gallons of water
minute and, if necessary, at a maxi
mum pressure Of 800 pounds to the
square inch = sufficient pressure or
pushing power" behind the stream to
carry it from the street to the top or
an eight story building or even higher.
It has the greatest possible advantage
over the throwing" method, since the
firemen, with the aid Of their water
towers and monitor nozzles, can direct
right into the heart Of the fire this I'M
mense volume Of water-enormous
streams that smash windows, tear
down partitions, sweep aside merchan-
disc and squirm, twist and force them
selves into every nook and corner Of
a building, searching out the fire bet
ter than the fremen can and smother
inc it before it can reach the danger
mark.
And this is why that in portion OF

for destructive fires the big fire has. IN
a sense, disappeared.-Charles 7. Hill

distance approximately of 200 miles.
In the course of the expedition she
sank an ammunition vessel in the Sea
of Marmora, torpedoed supply snip
at Rodosta and discharged a torpedo
at transport along the arsenal at
Constantinople, tie effect of which is
not known.
Another tragedy of the sea has
occurred at Sherness, where the
British auxiliary steamer Princess
Irene has been blown up by an acci-
dental explosion on board. More than
800 lives are reported to nave been
lost
Zeppelins have raided South End,
40 miles from London, dropping bombs
on the town. One woman is said to
have been killed and some property
