NOT QUITE CONSISTENT

Says the Albany Herald:
Rarely does Inconsistency creep in
to the editorial columns Of the the
Dalton Citizen, one of the most ably
edited newspapers in Georgia or any
where else.
However, in the current number of
the Dalton paper we find the following
comment on the Georgia senatorial
situation:
We note there is disposition on
the part of certain Harris newspa-
Ipers to belittle Mr. Howard. This
may be the proper course to pursue
but these newspapers will find after
awhile that there is really more in
William Schley Howard than they
would have their readers believe.
Without in any way disparaging Will
liam J. Harris, VIE wish to state posi-
lively, and without fear of successful
contradiction, that Mr. Howard is by
ar the ADLER man.
We heartily agree with our north
Georgia contemporary that nothing
S to be gained by belittling Mr.. How
ard
But from the same page of the
Citizen on which the comment repro
duced. above appeared, 1--WE take the
following:
When we read the Savannah Press
editorial about the great ability" of
w j. Harris, we had to laugh, and vt
a time when we had a cracked lip, too.

Mrs Edwin r. Napier, who op-

sonally looks after the business af-
fairs of one of tthe most profitable
farms in Georgia, is probably doing
as much in financing the government

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN
1t pays to have high ideals for our
children, and to respect their individ-
uality. Much can be accomplished by
expecting the children to be good, and
by showing them that we trust them.
We should never call a child bad"
never wound his self-respect. This
does not mean that his naughty ac-
tons should be "glossed over" but,
as one wise educator has expressed
it, we should realize that every fault
and we should try to build up that
quality in which the child is deficient
rather than condemn him for that
which he has not.
Build up the vitues, and the faults
will disappear. II child is selfish,
we should dwell on unselfishness; if
the child is untidy, on neatness; il
slow, on quickness; and we should al
ways remember to praise even the
slightest sign of the vitue we are
working to cultivate. A child will try
to live up to the thing for which he
is praised "How quiet and helpful
my little Peggy today. will do more
good than dozen seedlings about

nifty. Ideals of right conduct, love of
family and sympathy with every liv-
ing thing can all be given through
the right use of stories.
Much has been said and writer's
about prenatal influence, but volumes
more are needed on post-natal influ-
ence. One of the first things a baby
learns is to "smilI back" at his
mother, and in all his earliest years
the child reflects the attitude of those
around him. He initiates the things
which he sees and hears, in order to
understand them, and GAS the twig is

many for all-American honors. Some
who followed his performances through
the full season insisted he was even
a greater player than his teammate,

consensus. Guyon, with Strupper, con-
tituted the greatest scoring pair in
football togs year ago.
But this year Guyon. the only re-

into his own. With Strupper, Hill

Victory in Match for
the Red Cross
By Fred Hawthorne

Hoboken took its place on the lawn
tennis map yesterday afternoon, when
the Hoboken Tennis Club, famous
many years ago in the annals of the
game. put on several exhibition
matches for the benefit of the Red
Cross. More than two hundred
spectators sat about the picturesque
clay courts. with their outlook over the
harbor alive with huge transports, and
the quality of the play. particularly
in the mixed doubles, was such as to
arouse the onlookers to enthusiasm.
In this match Miss Eleanor Goss,
mnner-up for the women's national
indoor and outdoor championships,
paired with Walter Merrill Hall. Middle
States title holder, defeated Miss
Nolla Bjurstedt, national woman
champion. and Beals c. Wright former
holder of TIE mems national honors.
The sets went at GO, 60, Ga, and
almost throughout the winners were
the better team. Hall, in particular.
was in stroke and gave a stirring eX-
hibition Of forceful play overhead.
Miss Goss backed her partner up
splendidly, driving with plenty of
depth from her back court and closing
in st the net occasionally for brilliant
sessions Of volleying. Miss Bjurstedt
was distinctly not at her best, hitting
the top Of the net continuously on her
fore and back hand drives, although her
work overhead was an Improvement
over her recent play in this depart
ment.
In the hnal set. when she and Wright
we're trailing at 1-5 on games. the
great champion came through with a
dazzling exhibition of hard hitting
and court covering, and she and Wright
brought the game up to. 81 before
Miss Goss and her partner could
clinch the match by taking the tenth
game.
In the other matches Stephan Bru-
bans, of the local players. defeated K.
D. Matocks at 6-1, 6-l. and late in
the afternoon Hall took on Richard
Stevens. the veteran base line star
and vanqushed him at 6+3. 6A1
Stevens, who was at the zenith of his
court career long before Hall took up
the game, gave spler did exhibition

1t was partly Wright's inability to
nnlsh off mis- points sharply that lost
the mixed doubles for his side. The
former national champions placing
was excellent, ard on number of oc-

rule his shots lacked the finishing

Hall was deadly on everything that

coupled with Miss Goss's strong fore

much for Miss Bjurstedt and her
amous partner.
