ALBANIAN LEARNING TO
SALUTE WHEN BANDS PLAY
THE NATIONAL AIRS

Atlanta, Ga. June 2l.-so many
bands, so much playing OF America
and The Star Spang1ed Banner and
so many soldiers on the streets to
show the civilians how to behave
when these national airs are played,
have given Atlantians a very effective
course this week, during Rotary cor
vention, i'll the patriotic art of stand
ing at attention and saluting.
The time was not so long ago when
the playing of either tune above-men-
toned evoked no response whatever
from the crowd except here and there
when soldier happened to be pres
ent, but everything's different now,
and a great deal finer to behold if one
takes pride in the patriotic enthusi-
asm OF the people.
When a Rotary band comes romp-
ing down the street and stops to play
a serenadc i'll honor of some pretty
brunette behind the cashiers counter
who caught the leaders eye, and when
the strains of the music break into
America or Star Spangled Banner
1t is the general rule OF men to click
their heels together, drop their left
arm at their side, and take off their
hat with their right hand hold it over
their heart; while the women stand
straight and erect with hands at sides,
giving the salute of attention" to the
playing of national air.

YOUNG MAN BEWARE OF
YOUR "RHYTHMIC AFFINITY

Atlanta, June 2l.-And now the re-
formers have found terrible new
danger in the modern dance. It is
known as rhythmic affinity" and it
is said to be more dangerous than
lockjaw or lightning.
when young man finds himself
getting into the rhymtl of just one
girl and finds he cannot dance as well
with any other partner, he has for>
his rhymthmic mate, and he had bet
ter pull up sharp and think" they say.
And when girl discovers that
there is just one man with whom she
can dance little better than with
anybody else, then she and he should
either announce their engagement and
get married at the earliest possible
moment or break away and never see
each other again, for they are rhyth-
mic affinities, and they are dangerous
to each other" it is further declared.
This rhythmic affinity" business
seems to be sort of second cousin to
the soul mate stuff of a few years
ago, except in the latter people usual
ly made the excuse that primary at
traction came from the mind and soul,
while in the rhythmic affinity business
is all a matter of feeling

FIRST WE KNEW THAT
WHISKY HAD DISAPPEARED

Atlanta Ga, June 21.-Atlanta ply
sicians are wondering if the increas-
ed use of sugar has any connection
with the disappearance OF whskey
since the bone dry law.
1t is peculiar fact that sugar is one
OF the staple commodities which has
steadily increased in consumption de-
spite the increase in price. while 9TH
ers OF increased price have fallen off
in consumption.
The habit of thirsty drinkers to use
too much sugar to satisfy their cray
ing may be the explanation.

The censorship already has cost
thousands of lives and untold treas

from the standpoint of the Allies, and
ais inference was that the American
people should be told the truth about
she progress of the war except where
publication of military or naval move
ments would furnish information of
xaEue to the enemy.
THE war will last from 5 to 20
years unless America organizes quick

postal rates as applied to news

Carolina, had said that the loss to

zines and other publications that
we're made up of many pages Of ad-
vertising, cost the government $685.
100000. These rich magazine pub

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

In one Of the old school readers is
a lesson that begins, eve must edu-
cate; we must educate, or we must
perish The vocational education
bill that has recently been passed by
Congress and that has been signed by
President Wilson is a great educa-
tlonal measure. 1t means to the bows
and girls of America an opportunity
for practical training that will fit
them for the duties of life.
A great deal of the school training,
especially in the colleges and high
schools, is not of that practical nature
that fits the pupils for the particular
avocation in life that he intends to
pursue
| Latin and Greek have their place
in the training of the mind that is tc
be devoted to professional pursuits
But there are thousands of your
men and young women who will moi
enter upon professional life.
One Of the advocates of vocationa
education in Congress, Hon. Thoma.
| ID. Schall, expressed the idea in thi,
way. He said:
"A right to vocational education i.
one of the sacred rights of youth
The world is full of opportunities fol
the man who is ready for them. We
need training schools for workers
The day of the apprentice, when q
man labored seven years or more to
learn trade, are gone.* Therc
should be vocational schools of agri
culture within the reach of ever,
farmers boy"
Webster defines vocational schooI
as follows: 1T is to provide training
for the occupations or vocations, whe.
ther in the professions, commerce OIL
trades: trade school"
Senator Hokc Smith, of Georgia, is
the author and adviser of a great
many measures Of constructive legis-
Iation, and this new law is one of the
hest OF them all. AS chairman of the
Senate Committee on Education Sen
ator Smith has laborcd with great zeal
20 perfect important legislation.
The money for vocational train
ng is to be spent for salaries of teach
crs and supervisors in schools who
will go into the homes and upon the
farms so as to reach all who are en-
aged in industrial pursuits and
trades. The States are required to
pend the same amount the govern
ment gives to each State
South Carolina will receive this
year $8,250 and therefore have
iund Of $1G,50O. Two million dol
lars is to be appropriated by the gov
crnmcnt, which will be increased by
three million dollars to be spent an
nually.
