sspOp SPILLED THE BEANS''

From tho Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 N YOUNG woman who came to New
 A\ York from Kansas City has had = sS her castle in Spain at one fell swoop demolished. It seems she had spent 16 years in Kansas City, and then, tiring of life on the sluggish Missouri, sought the frozen fastnesses of the Yu- kon. When she same back to Kansas City after three years its manners and morals still did not suit her, so with $120 "and a fair wardrobe she came to New York. In New York she made sated variety seekers and the jaded patrons of lobster palaces sit up and take notice of a fresh sensation. She made believe she had never known anything but !he silent, sneaky Indians,' the blizzards and the glaciers, the dog team and the bear hunt, the desolate forest and the solitary farm, the lonely capln of the and other features of Alaskan life as one sees 1t on the film.
 New York "fell for it." She was inter- viewed on every subject. Proposals ar rived by the bushel. The camera man pursued her. She was celebrity. The appetite for the limelight grew by what it fed on. Her stories grew more and more wonderful. Then the blow fell.

PALM BEACH

Julian Street, in Golfers Weekly.
 Like all places in which idlers try to avoid finding out that they arc idle. Palm Beach has very definite customs as to where to go. and at what time to go there. Excepting in it's hours for going to bed and getting up. it runs on sched- ule. The official day begins with the bathing hour-11:30 to 12:30-when the. .2o0O or 5000 people from the pair of vast hotels assemble before the casino on the beach. Golfers will, of course, be upon the links before this hour; fishermen will be cast ing from the pier or will be out in boats
 searching the sailfsh-that being the fashionable" fish at the present time; ladies of excessive circumference will be panting rapidly along the walks, their eyes holding that look of dreamy deter mination which painters put into the eyes of martrys, and which a fixed intention to lose 20 pounds puts into the eyes of banting women. So. too, certain gentle men of swarthy skin make their way to the casino parlor where they disrobe and bake until the bathing hour. The object of this practice is to acquire. as nearly as a white man may, the com plexion of mulatto. and it is surprising to see how nearly the skins of some more ardent members of the Browning Club, {" as this group is called, match those of their chair boys. The underlying theory
 of the "Browning Club" is that 2 triple

4 Negro and a Biscuit

They tell lot of tales on Winston county" said United States Deputy Mar shal Dick Bates. But I remember an incident that happened when was teach ing school in that county that was about as funny as anything I ever witnessed You know negroes are scarce articles in Winston. Time was when a negro didn't dare enter the county. But when I was teaching school, near Double Springs some negroes were there doing some work
 f'They cooked some biscuits and when they left, they left one of the burnt bis- cults in the road. The children around those parts had never seen a biscuit be- fore, and they thought it was terra pin So they went way back about mile to the house to get a coal of fire to put on it's back to make it move. They had seen older people do that to make terrapins move. However. this terrapin didn't move. It burnt crisper and crisper until there was nothing left but char coal. But those kids had been educated that day. They had seen two things they had never seen before, negro and a biscuit"

THE LEGEND OF SALT RIVER

you cannot fool all the people all the time," and because they were simple they were remembered.
 Once, long time ago, defeated of- flee seeker, in order to 'get himself to- gether," left home as soon as he became aware of the result at the polls. A friend, inquiring for him g little later, was in- formed by a member of his family that he had gone up Salt river. Salt river was and is modest little stream that rises in the hill country of Kentucky. and after flowing through a more or less picturesque district for about score of miles, empties into the Ohio. It was in those days good fishing creek and the kind of stream a jaded and disap- pointed politician might naturally fancy. There was not a thing wrong about his excursion. Yet his political enemies got hold of the remark that he had gone up Salt river" and used it to imply that this meant the end of his public career.
 The saying spread from Kentucky into other states, and for moro than half century it has been used to express the idea that a, politician has been driven to the woods'' for good. He's gone up Salt river, has come to mean. in fact. that politician has been sput out of business" has been so badly beaten that he cannot ''come back" has seen his finish.'' Yet, it Is not true that there is no return from Salt river, for many who have taken canoeing trips up that stream have actually returned and made 2 greater stir than ever in the field of poli- tics.

 6NHE people of the United States

 S to catch a happy or unhappy re- mark or phrase in politics, and to make the most of it to the advantage of one or the disadvantage of another party. The political history of the country is full of instances of partisan, and even of historical importance. having their origin in some off-hand or thoughtless expression Careers of promise have been made or unmade by sayings intro- duced into 8 campaign. It is easy for anybody even casually acquainted with the political past of the nation to recall how apparently innocent and meaningless words have been used to belittle can- didate, with the result perhaps of insuring his defeat.
 Some leaders are happy even in their most casual expressions. Lincoln was one of these; Grant was another. It used to be said that the difference between IAn- coin and his greatest general was that while one dropped pearls oL speecn' tHo other dropped pearls of silence. Never theless, when Grant said that he pro- posed to fight it out on this line If it took all summer, and when he said: Let us have peace" he furnished his friends with political campaign material of the first order. They were sayings as sin- pie as with charity toward all; with malice toward none," or You can fool some of the people part of tho time. and

HOTEL LOBBIES
old Glory Desecrated

There is not a more beautiful or inspiring thing in the world to an American than the Star Spangled Ban ner' floating in the breezes," said Kirk Moore. Not only is 1t a thing Of beauty and 8 joy forever, but it rep resents the very essence of national freedom and personal liberty I am one citizen who objects with all the strenuosity of my nature to any dese- cration of our flag for commercial purposes or advertising schemes. Yes terday I walked up Twentieth street and saw hanging out of window in the Clark building a dirty and tat tered rag which, on close inspection, proved to be old Glory. On inquiry I found it was floating from the win dow of the United States recruiting station.
 "To say I was shocked would not begin to express my feelings, and had it not been for the fact that it was government property I would have insisted that it be withdrawn from public gaze. To think that the
 
 greatest government on earth would allow its national emblem to be dis played in such a fashion was really distressing to me, and I could not help thinking what af unfavorable eff feet it would have on the foreign born within our midst. It is nothing less than disgrace for the recruiting office here to be so unmindful of the fitness of things as to allow such an exhibition and if the government makes no appropriation for the flag being kept clean, it seems to me that the three 'huskies' who do nothing all day long but pose underneath it's folds would have enough personal pride to see that their flag and mine was kept clean"

"WorsEa- While Girl''
 Who Doesn't Exist

M MoNG the more or less impor- GA tant news items of the day is the announcement that the "Round Table Boys," who are members of the graduate school at Harvard, have de- cided on the "girl that's worth while"
 These are the qualifications she must possess: "She is attractive, graceful and healthy, but not neces- sarily pretty; she can dress tastefully and entertain anyone and make him feel at ease; she can make bread as well as fudge, and cake as we'll as rarebit; she is appreciative of the dance and of the sports; she is broad minded, sympathetic, tactful, unself- ish, optimistic, thrifty, of good dispo- sition and moderate in all things; she can stand reverses without worry; she is gentle to children and kind to older people, especially her parents; she has broad education, but not neces- sarily a college one; she is modest and true and home-loving; she is of good social standing, is of religious nature and is not too proud to pray"
 The "Round Table Boys" may think that young woman such as they de- scribe exists somewhere on this mum dane sphere, but if they do, they are doomed to bitter disappointment. However, all matters of this kind are adjusted in time. They will never find the "girl that's worth while," but they will be convinced that the girls they marry fulfill all the requirements until the glamor of the honeymoon wanes and they wake up to life's sad realities.

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

A girls complexion and her character
 are usually what she makes them.
 Maybe you imagine that you are over
 worked. But how would you like to be
 a good old joke?
 Every married woman imagines that
 lodges were invented so that married
 men could have an excuse to go down town at night.
 Considering the examples they set them, most fathers haven't any right to ex- pect their sons to do great things. A lot of labor saving devices have gone into effect since the good old days. There is so much oil in backing nowa- days that a bootblack doesn't have to spit into the box a dozen times when he is shining your shoes. Some husbands are like some dogs. The worse they are treated the more faithful they are.
 A womans idea of brute is a husband who gets mad because she opens his mail 1 and reads it. A married man has so much arguing to do at home that you would imagine he would avoid arguments when he is down town But he doesn't. He knows he has a chance to get the best of one of the arguments he has down town. What doth It prOflt man 70 geL Iull of nose paint and go joy riding when the indications are that if the ride doesn't end in jail 1t will end in the morgue? No husband is perfect And no hus- band has as many bad habits as his wife tmagines.
 It is none of our business But fe, male who is built like a piano mover shouldn't select a youth who Is built like 1 g school boy as partner when she does the tango in public. You know how to knock people whc bore you, don't you? Well, add up your talk and see that you do not give other people chance to knock you for boring them.

Good Game Promised

D. Beav- ins. Our team has been playing good ball all the season but the swamping defeat which Georgia administered to our team in Athens recently places the local five on the short end.
 Georgia has great team. That was shown when they scored a close vlc- tory over the Atlanta Athletic club on Saturday in Athens. Georgia won over us by the score of "A to 20 I believe we will either win or lose by narrow margin. The game will be no landslide for either quintet"

 These few remarks from the main grouch at the Army and Navy club: "The remedy for our continued losses of war vessels is United States Naval academy for the education of young of ficers for set duty. and nothing else. Up to about 15 years ago we had one and the best in the world. At present we have a school of marine engineering and football, which is producing engine drivers. sea-going soldiers and half backs, but is not turning out sailormen. Only a sailor can handle ship. and he must be caught young. His skill cannot be taught him from books nor in engine rooms, nor by exhibiting him to large crowds in athletic contests. The wind and the water must be his teachers. Let s get us some sailors. Warships may be floating machine shops, but someone who knows the ways of the sea must keep each of them afloat." 4

 ITO the people who have not been to Haleyville and Winston county in the past few years a visit now would prove a revelation. There is no section of the state which is progressing more rapidly and the outlook for che future is excep- tionally bright While we Georgians think we have great state, I must ad- init that Alabama has far surpassed even the bright reports heard before moved to this state.'

 perts.-Louisville Courier Journal. 1.-THE Courier-Journal voices a q grievance which is endured in silence by most newspapers, yet the send-me-the-paper" pest is con- stant source of annoyance. All news paper offices,s large and small, are flooded the year around with unso- licited verse. Occasionally contribu- tion will have merit, but not often. Most of it is the dreariest rot imagi- nable. Yet all of this stuff must be glanced over and if stamps are en- closed, it must be sent back. Other wise, the author will lombard the hapless editor with letters of protest and recrimination. Near-poets and the like often do that when they fail to send stamps. despite the fact that most publications carry standing announcement that unsolicited contri- buttons, without stamps enclosed, will not be returned.
 If, in self-defense rnve than any thing else, an editor publishes. a con. Grl1buted poem little better than the average, it is like adding insult to in- iury when the poet demands two, six and even dozen free copies of the paper in which his masterpiece ap- pears.

Soil Survey and
 Progressive Farnairag

Fr0gT@Sslve FaTIalElg THE United States department of
 9 agriculture has been of incal- culable benefit to the country in many directions, but few of it's activities have been of greater service than it's soil survey. When this work was be- gun several years ago it's far-reaching value was not generally appreciated by even the most up-to-date farmers, but practical demonstration will soon bring a realization of it's wide impor- tance to the economic side of the ques- tion
 It has long been a boast that the agricultural resources of the United States were richer and more varied than those of any other country, but what science has done to promote productiveness is only an earnest of the strides that are yet to come. As Charles A. Sidman, writing in the New York Sun, says the greatest national asset of the United States is it's soil.
 Being fundamental in it's uses the study of the soil must occupy fun damental position in the development of the resources of the nation and in arrangement of it's economic condi- tions. Since the beginning of the de- partment's soil study great stretches of the United States have been sur veyed and hundreds of different types of soil have been found The work has been done systematically and the south has not been neglected. As a result the southern farmer now sees opportunities that he had not thought of five or six years ago.
 The experts have made a careful study of such problems as the best adaptation of crop to soil, the best
