HE MISSED A FORTUNE.

In spite of their night-and-d ac-
tivity in raiding and destroying the
hundreds of illicit stills that are man
ufacturing moonshine in the noun
tains, revenue officers of Georgia,
have found time to report the dis
covery Of an invention, which, had it
been patentedby it's discoverer, might
have brought him an immense for
tune. The art of distillation is an an
Gent one, yet little progress has ben
made IN the process since the first
worm" or twisted tube was used
to condense the vapors which arise
from the boiling liquid Frank
Whatley, a Georgian conducted still
on his place in the Blue Ridge noun
tains. Since prohibition went into
effect, the demand for moonshine has
leaped to enormous proportions.
Whatley saw that if he could increase
the output Of his still he would make
more money. So he set to work and
constructed still, which, according to
the officers, "instead of the usual
worm or coil, contained device with
a double surface for condensing the
vaporized alcoholic fumes The de-
vice is enclosed in an air space in
which the vapors float and are con-
densed rapidly as the water passes
through the body of the cylinder. It
IS the most efficient condensation sys-
TEN we have ever seen and it is a pity
Whatley did not try to market his
device instead of making moonshine. !"

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP,

1t appears from the annual report
which has just been published by the
Controller of the British Postoffice
that the telegraph and telephone ser
vice which the government supplies
report covers in deficit of S6,000,-
900. The attention of Postmaster
General Burleson and of other advo-
Gates of government ownership in the
United States list directed to the cir
cumstance. In the United Kingdom
the telegraph lines have been operat-
ed by the government for several
wears. Not long ago it was decided
that the telephone should be included
in the official monopoly and the com
9anies were bought out. As British
law is extremely respectful of pro
nerty rights they received an indem-
7ity which literally compensated
them for their enforced surrender,
and then the Postofice Department
tarted in to show how much better
The telephone business could be con-
1ncted by the government than it
had been by private enterprise
No such demonstration has been
made. Very shortly after the Post
office Department had assumed con-

OF right living, and the science
Of home making may be instilled
in the } oung minds OF growing
girls.
On the other hand there is an
other question concerned with
the wisdom OF fitting the girl
child for place in the worlo "a
side from marriage and the four
walls of home, for if a brave
young knight does not come rid
ing by and claim her for his bride
she perhaps, may be compelled
to fight her way through lie a.

training is also necessary. In
thi, connection the mother real

Mothers should see that their
daughters follow their individual
bent in using the energy oil their

training as teacher, nurse, steno-
gr@pher Ibo Ok. J ecper, seamstress
or missionary 10 some christiun
field of labor. or whatever the
occupation for hich nature and
education have best fitted her.
From what has been said one
can readily see thai it is domestic
training and vocational training
that IS needed for our girls.
This much every parent owes
thsir daughters. and they in their
turn should grasp it sll and max
the be.t Of it they can. And in
connection with this training
they should acquire the habit ot
