Won Tripitz is at last moved to con
fess some disadvantages "in moral
and other ways" in Americas par
ticipation in the war. But, as in duty
bound, he minimizes the disadvantages

cause it is the tonnage question tibet

Well, as pointed out by the Phila-
delphia Record, we have tonnage
enough to get 100000 soldiers over to
France every month, and We can keep
that up for five years if Necessary
which it will not be. Is there any
source from which Germany can get
100000 men month for an indefinite
period? What he means by regretting
that we did not remain firm in the
face of President Wilson'S threats"
is not clear; the threats had to with
submarines, and Germany was firm IN
using them, and we entered the war.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg would have
avoided giving us a casus belli; Won
Tirpitz forced the ruthless submarine
campaign, added America to- the list
of German enemies and removed all
possible doubt about the defeat Of what

A WATERY QUESTION.

The old question of how often
should a man battle is again being
agitated in the press and among ply
sicians, AS on all other subjects M
der the sun, there is division of
opinion on this.
1t is pointed out that among the
nited States senators, at least, BATH
ing is somewhat unpopular. This
thought is doubtless occasioned by the
fact that, although the senate estab-
lished elaborate bathrooms. they were
so little patronized as to make the
average cost per bath over six dollars
It is possible, however, that the semi
tors took their dimensions at home
ana did not follow the example OF
some Of the old Roman senators who
transacted business in the bathtub
That especially was one of the lux
urious habits of the Emperor Com
modus
Among the majority of people of all
ages frequent bathing has always been
esteemed a necessity as well as pleas
ure. The philosopher Seneca and the
poet Horace, among the ancient
Romans, INDUCED in daily baths, and
both bathed only in cold water both
summer anu winter Horace frequent
ed a spring famed for its chilliness.
On the other hand Scipio installed
private bath in his villa and kept it
supplied only with warm water. 1t
was customary for the Romans to take
their meals as well as conduct bust
ness affairs in the bath Some of
them, the more extravagant and fool
ish. even bathed in milk and wine.
Along about 1860 we md John
Locke the great English philosopher
advising cold baths. He pointed ont
that the Germans, Italians, Irish and
Scotch all patronized daily cold
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-11-29

baths. and that it was well to begin
when children,
Bathing was evidently an inspira-
ton to Swinburne, for he wrote
aBaudelaire' while in his tub. And
as he sat in his bath of steaming
water, Marat, the most curious product
of the French revolution, was stabbed
to death by Charlotte Corday
By some, however. bathing has been
regarded with suspicion. Among them
was DR.. Samuel Johnson, who was
GLORIOUS for untidiness of person and
who admitted his aversion TO frequent
'immersions." In his Art of Travel"
Sir Francis Gallon comments that
there S no denying the fact though
il is not agreeable to confess it, that
dirt and grease are great protectors
of the skin against Indictment wealth
er, and that therefore the leader Of
an exploring party should not be ex-
acting about the appearance of MS
followers
The American prediction for baths
is illustrated by the number of Turk
ish baths and by the growing tendency
On the part Of cities to have swim
ming pools in summer and free baths
ia winter for the benefit of those who
cannot avail themselves of these de-
lights in their homes.
After all, It cannot be gainsaid that
cleanliness is high among the virtues

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Money in Turkeys:

A new source of wealth for Geor-
gia farmers has been found. This
time the articles to be sold were
turkeys. The Valdosta Times tells
the story:
Lamar Mosely drove in from his
place this morning with load of
turkeys. He sold four of them for
$2S and was getting all sorts of MONEY
for the others. We remember eating
a piece of turkey several years ago,
but we are not even dreaming of do
ing so again.
There ought to be more money in
raising turkeys for market than in
raising chickens. 1t would seem
there is always a demand for them,
even if some editors do throw up their
hands and surrender when the proud,
majestic birds Perhaps some one will
come in some day and pay five or
six years subscription to the Times
with turkey, Then the editor can
put his worries into another drum
stick as he did when he was a boy

"IF 1T TAKES ALL WINTER"

tOric saying at Petersburg, during the
siege OF Richmond: Il am going to

This sentiment has just been rei.-
Grated by the Allies, only they 50

Heretofore, there has been slumh
in winter activities on the fighting
fronts, but from now on the Allies
are not going to give the Germans an
rest. There will be no peace for
them until there is the final, last
ing peace.
The announcement was to have Deen
expected as the result of the partici-
patton of the United States in the
campaign in France. American sold
lers have gone there to attend strict
ly to business, and they are not going
to wait until next spring before be-

A MIGHTY POOR COUNT.

A New York lady school teacher
has ascertianed that there are only
S68 eminent women in history She
began her exploration of the histories
and reference books with the view of
compiling a list of the one thousand
most eminent women of all time, but
try as she might, she cannot find more
then SOS.
This lady considers eminent to
be conspicuous or highly distinguish
ed" This enables her to include those
women who are notorious for their
faults and vices as well as celebrated
for virtues or achievements
The 868 eminent women were dis
tinguished in the following ways
Literature, 1877; marriage, ST; re
ligion, ga; sovereign, SO; actress, Sc;
music, 40; birth, 80; mistress, %;
scholar, 20; political influence or
ability, 10; artist, II; philanthropy.
~; tragic fate, Il; heroine, 10; moth
erhood, 10; reformer, 8; dancer 8; i'm
mortalized in literature, 6; patron of
learning, 6; beauty, 6; educator, 3.
physicist, 2; misfortune, 2; traveller,
2; adventures, 2; revolutionist, 2,
fo-lQ1e teller, / ; conjugal devotion, /,
criminal
Miss Castle adjudged a woman S
"eminence" according to the space as,
signed her in the various reference
books which she studied. Perhaps her
personal choice also had something
to do with it. Consequently she lines
UP the first % of the most distinguish
ed as follows:
Mary Stuart, Joan of Arch, Queen
Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, George
Sand, Nine. de Stael, Catherine II,
Maria Therese, Marie Antoinette,
Queen Anne, Nine. de Sevigne, Queen
Mary Tudor, George Elliot, Queen
Christina, Mrs. Browning, Nine. De
Maintenon, Empress Josephine. Cath
crime de Medici Cleopatra, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Charlotte Bronte and
Charlotte Corday.
Few will agre with Miss Castle in
her judgment as to the most eminent.
/ Mary Queen of Scots is justly famous
and is one of the beacon lights of
history in some respects, but she can
hardly rank first.
This list of the 1858 most eminent in
cludes only those, of course, who live
for posterity in song and story. 1t
does not mention, and it cannot in
clude, the thousands and thousands %
noble women who have been eminent

have lived and died as flowers that

AS 1T LOOKS IN PRINT.

A newspaper man is directed by his
superiors to interview certain promi-
nent parsonage, or, perhaps, he is as
signed to report a speech or a meet
ing. He later writes a STORY as 1t
is termed in the newspaper vernacular,
in which he quotes that prominent
public man. That night, or the next
morning, as the case may be, the
speaker reads what he has said The
chances are that it is better phrased
than it was spoken, and also that it
is a correct quotation. However, the
Eta5 ement in cold print does not read
so we'll Il couldn't have said that"
the public man or woman ruminates-
the wish being father to the thought
and soon the newspaper is called upon
to make retraction. u didn't say
tnat," Mr. Public Man is now quoted,
and he deludes himself into believing
that the public will accept his de-
NAL.
However, such denials are not SO
readily accepted nowadays The pub
lie is realizing more and more that
tina"
no worker strives harder to be ac-
curate than a newspaper man, and that
While some of them occasionally,
through weakness, inadvertence or
ignorance, may exaggerate or publish
an untruth, the chances are that more
often they hew close to- the line of
fact. Consequently, when an interview
IN bold quotation is read. the public
understands and believes that the
statement was actually made. So,
when on the next day Mr.. Public Man
declares, with heat and emphasis, that
he or she did not say the country was
going to the bow-wows, or that the
Fox Trot should be introduced in Sun
day schools, or that all congressman
should be in jail, their deniaIs carry
little weight If, on the other hand,
the newspaper itself makes a correc-
ton and retraction of its own az
cord, the reputation of the former
statements will be quite effective.
In Savannah recently The Mornlng
News had a controversy with preach
er as to what he did and did not say.
In the main they differed only slight
l,y and it is possible that both were
too positive in their judgments. But
if it came to a downright issue, we
would believe the newspaper man in
preference to the other man, whoever
the latter might be.
No reputable paper will tolerate
fake interviews, and it is because the
public is familiar with this fact that
they now receive 'denials" with eau
ton and scan them with care.

DAIRYMEN AT DUBLIN QUIT;
MILK FAMINE is FEARED

DUBLIN, Ga, Nov. 24.-Dublin peo-
pie are wondering where they will
get milk at any price, for notice has
been served by dairymen here that
they will go out of business on De-
cember 1st, and there will not be
dairy in fifty miles of the city after
that date to supply the retail trade.
A rise. in price was made seberal
months ago and the people here Won
dered what would hit them next. 40
one had any idea that the dairymen
were ready to quit until few days
ago. Captain w. B. Rice, who has
been milking about seventy-five Jer-
seys and running one of the mos.
modern dairies in the state, has In
nounced that after December list, he
will supply nothing but the wholesale
trade, soda fountains and hotels, and
has advertised his herd of cows for
sale. Two other diaries have gone
out of business also, and families
with babies dependent upon the dali
ries for milk are faced with a serious
situation.
Dairymen here state that they are
lot making any money with the high
price of feed, while Captain Rice says
he can make the same amount OF
money in other lines with about half
the work and worry his dairy is caus-
ing him.
