THE FAMILY BUDGET
By DR.. Frank Crane

What" says a letter which lies upon my
desk, ''is a just method of dispensing the
family income? The husbands earnings are
also the wife's earnings inasmuch as she re-
nounces the opportunity to earn her support
for the sake of spending her effort the
care of the family.
"Can the husband dispense the income
himself without the direction of the wife, or
vice versa?
Should the husband suffer the humilia-
ton of handing over to the wife the salary
intact?
"And the wife be Inundated with gifts
from the husband or forced to beg from him
for necessities with coquettishness or tactful
handling, thus destroying frankness between
the two?
.Will the budget prevent the injustice of
the husband and curb the extravaganza OF
the wife?
us the budget an account of where the
dollars have gone or where they are 60
ing?
will the budget shut off the graft of the
in-laws?
"Can bank account in the name of hus-
band and wife be successfully operated?
eff the budget system were better under
stood and more commonly in use would there
not be more women willing to marry poor
men?
''More women willing to assume mater
nitv rather than shirk it, more men unhar-
assed in their homes, more families doing
team work, more families united in peace
and happiness?"
Most of this womans questions answer
themselves.
| might add few questions myself and
pass the buck to the reader.
Why not have democracy in family?
Why not have a family council at least
once a week? Where father, mother, and
the children should talk over receipts and
expenditures and all pull together 1ntelll-
gently?
Since money is at the bottom of three
fourths of family heart burnings, attack the
money problem frankly, constantly, and as
unit.
Why train children and wife to obedience
and dependency when any moment by the
death of the head of the house they are liza
BILE to be thrust into responsibility and COM
PEELED to use their own judgment?
Why not depend more on love, frankness,
open dealing, confidence, loyalty, and intel
ligence and less on the egotistic passions and
prejudices?
Why leave your wife and children hun
bred thousand dollars and no training
wherewith to take care of it?
In short, why work so hard to get money
and neglect the business of conserving it?

YAWNING
By H. Addington Bruce

BY n. AQQlnStOn Bruce
x AWNING has been variously described
Z as a physiological indication Of fatigue
sign of a disposition to sleep, and
an expression of hunger for oxygen. 1t is
all of these things
Also it is on occasion much else.
1t is at times a symptom OF physical dis
ease Before the onset of a fever there may
be an irresistible tendency to yawn repeat
eddy. More commonly such tendency oc-
ours to victims of dyspepsia, gastralgia, or
other disorder of the digestive tract.
Everybody knows that, after eating an
unusually heavy meal, yawning is likely to
develop. This means nothing in particular.
1t merely serves to notify the yaWner and
all who see him that he has been dietetical-
ly indscreet
But if the same phenomenon invariably
occurs after eating, no matter how carefully
one has chosen ones food and partaken OF
it, then the persistent yawning may be a
warning that a doctor should be consulted
with reference to possible stomach condl-
tions requiring medical attention.
Or persistent yawning may mean not that
the stomach is out of order, or that one has
been eating unwisely, but that one is breath
ing bad air.
Air deficient in oxygen is bound soon or
late to bring into play the muscular mech
anism of yawning Experiments have shown
that animals put to death by asphyx1at1on
always yawn excessively before death en-
sues. Human beings likewise yawn as the
air they breathe grows staler.
To check the yawning, then, and safe
guard the health all that is necessary is
improved ventilation. Which suggests that
persistent yawners will do well to study the
air conditions of their homes and working
places.
On the other hand, persistent yawning
may occur in the absence OF fatigue, d1ges-
tive disorder or impure air. Then the yawner
ma SnSn6ct that
ing is expressive of character defect more
than anything else-expressiVe, in fact OF
sheer laZiness.
Yawning, however, may equally announce
a high degree of mental activity. For it has
been observed that yawning often follows
prolonged concentration of thought.
Finally, yawning naturally occurs when
ever the circulation has been appreciably
slowed down, as by sitting or lying for any
length of time.
Virtually every animal yawns on awaking.
This has led an old friend Of mine, DR.. S.
S. Curry, to suggest that people should de-
liberately yawn when they awake, as an exer-
else to be taken before they get out OF bed.
"The yawn," DR.. Curry observes, lis
stretch of the lungs, as the stretch is yaWn
Of the muscles.
''Now, the stretch is activity Of the extern
sor muscles. And it is the action Of the ex-
tensor muscles upon which health especially
depends.
"since nature has provided the stretch
seemingly as the antidote for abnormal po-
sition, and especially abnormal position dur
ing sleep, in ones program Of exercises 1t
would seem most necessary to center around
some careful and scientific use of stretches"
In this suggestion of yawning as an exer-
else there may be hint Of no small value
to all craving health improvement.

expenditure of $625,641,729 in the I'M
movement of public highways during the
next five years and legislation contemplat-
ing the issuance of good roads bonds IN
the sum of $391,253,800 is pending with
little opposition expected.
Texas, the largest state in the unlon' oc-
cupies the lead with bond issues aggregat-
ing\ S8S.7OS.OOO, the other states in con-
secutive order being Pennsylvania, Cal1for-
MIA Illinois, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia
and North Carolina.
One of the largest single projects is pro-
posed for Illinois, necessitating the expen-
diture of S4463,511 in the construction OF
15O miles of highway from East St. Louis,
Ill, to the Indiana line as part of Ma
tional highway.
The projects in Georgia provide for the
expenditure of $15,375,0O0, which amount
is merely the initial investment that is be-
ing planned, enthusiastic interest being
manifested in a number of progressive coun-
ties not yet in a position to adopt definite
action.
Spalding, one Of the most progressive
and prosperous counties in the State, has
recently completed paving the Atlanta
Griffn-Macon division of the Dixie high
way from the Henry county line on the
north to Griffin, a distance Of eight miles.
Work is in progress on continuation OF
this improvement from Griffin to the Pike
county line on the south, a distance OF
about five miles, which will give Spald1ng
thirteen miles Of paved highway. Other high
ways radiating from Griffin will be paved
in the course of time in pursuit of the
nty-site-to-county-site" policy, which is
in favor throughout the State.
The next five years will witness a rev.
olution in the work Of highway improve
ment in many States and it is extremely
gratifying to know that Georgia, which
leads in many worthy enterprises, is one
of the pioneer advocates of the construc-
ton of permanent highways.

Georgia's Rural WeekHes.
TO State in the Union can show a

n
VI greater number of bright and influen-
tia1 weekly newspapers than Georgia.
whose editors seem to be engaged IN per-
ennial contest to produce one hundred per
cent perfect publications. While the peo-
pie of Georgia are consistent readers re1us-
ing to limit their attention to any class OF
periodicals, many would rather be denied
access to any other literary visitor than the
rural weekly published back home.
It is the weekly newspaper that makes the
direct appeal to the hearts of the busy men
of the city, many of whom were reared
down on the farm No other newspaper
comes in such direct personal touch with its
subscribers, sympathizes with them so Keen
ly in seasons of sorrow, and rejoices with
them when they are glad. AS an advertis-
ing medium the rural weekly is the direct
connecting medium between merchant and
customer and one that no wise business man
afford to ignore.
In years agone the editor of weekly
newspaper was usually the proprietor of a
few pints of type, an inadequate cylinder
press, few dilapidated imposing stones and
and rickety job press.
But today modern plants have been in
stalled in almost every office and the week
: editor is citizen to be reckoned with
IN the prosecution of every worthwhile en-
terprise. The rural weekly is no longer a
job-shop side line, but is recognized as
community asset and should receive the lib
.~' E''1n"rt Of ali the citizens.
Lawyers, physicians and other professional
and business men of the cities find time

Countv Fairs n Valuable ASSET.

A county fair, revolving around an agri-
cultural department, is the principal asset
of any progressive county and it is pleas
ing to know that many Georgia counties
are contemplating holding fairs this fall,
in which the promoters deserve and should
receive the liberal cooperation of all the
people
No other State in the union offers more
lucrative opportunities for diversified farm
ing than Georgia and there are various
garden products that should be displayed
in every fair in the State in splendid abun-
dance, together with agricultural, live stock
it's.
Improved farm implements and machin-
cry and business and manufacturing de-
partments are always interesting and any
county now holding successful fairs would
be glad to offer information and advice to
those who have them il contemplation.

THE ATLANTA TRI-wEEKLY JOURNAL.

spective Of the wishes Of the Mexican people
and regardless of the laws of the country.
Although we are not fully informed as to the
underlying reasons for Article 100 of the
Mexican constitution, it is our impression
that it was drafted with view to bringing
about separation of Church and State, a
doctrine that appeals to Americans.
Article 81 deals with property, land, wa
ters mining rights, oil concessions, etc., and
reserves to the Mexican government the right
to exercise power over these things similar
to power enjoyed by every free state over its
own soil. The Fall subcommittee demands
that this provision be changed so that Mexico
cannot exercise control or place limitations
upon the rights Of property acquired by
Americans except where the limitations are
written into the original deed of convey
ance lease. contract or other instrument.
Article SO confers upon the Mexican Presi-
dent the right to expel foreigners in certain
CONTINGENCIES. The Fall subcommittee OBJ
iects to the provision and wants it changed
so that the right of expulsion will not vest
in the President Of Mexico.
Although the recommendations of the FAN
report may have been conceived in sincere
desire to benefit the Republic Of Mexico, we
are persuaded that their operation and en-
forcement would further the exploitation OF
Mexico by private American capital and IN
tensify the antagonisms that already have
been engendered.
recommended changes in the Mexican con-
stitution, the fact is that the United States
has no right to tell the people OF Mexico Wnat
sort of constitution they must have. Inc
American people would not tolerate any at
tempted interference by Mexico or any other
nations with it's internal affairs. What would
the United States say if Mexico or any other
nation should inform us that our prohlDltlon
amendment must be repealed, or that any
other provision in our constitution was IN
1t isn't difficult to imagine
what the American people would say.
The Fall report was a mistake-another
tribute to the muddling and interference u
the United States Senate with Americas for-
eign relations The effect Of the Fall report
on the twenty or thirty republics OF central
and South America is not calculated TO IN
crease their regard for the United States:
What assurance have they that the Unlted
States Senate will not frame similar demands
upon them? The Fall report Will make more
difficult the efforts that are being put torth
for a better Pan-American understanding
and a new world era Of good will and peace

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON
THE BLESSING OF WORK
e Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
BY DOROTHY DIX

be something worth doing that gives
tangible results. That is why the
most cheerful people you ever meet
are the busy people who are ao>
Sorbed in their occupations.
You never hear them complain
that time hangs heavily on their
hands, Or wondering what they will
do next, or see them yawning and
gaping around. They find the days
too short for all they have to do,
they have a vital interest in life that
takes up their thoughts they are,
planning, scheming, building, pittins
their wits against others, and they
have the perpetual excitement of see
ing their labor translated into terms
of real creation.
It is only the workers who are
happy. Think it over and try to re-
call single 1oafer who is not morosee
and pessimistic, or an idle man and
woman who IS not pevish, and dis
contented, and who do not eternally
imagine that something is the mat
ter with their livers, or their lungs
or their nerves. You will not be able
to remember a single bouyant OPTIC
mistic individual who isn't busy:
There are not many constitutions
strong enough, to stand idleneSS.
When a man retires from business
after having worked like a dray
horse for forty or fifty years he signs
mother of a family when she gives
up her house, and goes to live with
her children. The old people couid
have worked on for ten. or fifteen
years, perhaps more, but they haven
the strength to stand the arduous]
task of killing time. The epitaph on
many a rich old mans and woman
tomb might well be, Died OF ldle1
ness"
Work is a necessity to happiness
and health, and the first aid to belna
good. Satan still finds stunts fo1
not legitimately employed they VIII
be viciously employed. The sons AND
daughters of the rich are not inhei
rently any more inclined to straH
from the straight and narrow pat
than are the children of the poor, pu
the poor have the safeguard of worn
to keep them in. the fold, ana out oI
the Sunday supplement.
The man whose whole thoughts arr
conferred on doing the kind of laboT
that raises him to the head clerkshlA
or the foreman of the shop doeSn
have to seek eXcitements outside Of
his own home. The woman who ma
to cook and sew and wash Tor
household of babies isn't WorTyn
over whether she married her aIlnlt
or not. She's got something better
do than vivisect her own emotloh
and hunt for thrills.
The work that accomplishes some
thing in the world; that makes ma
and woman feel that they earn thef
way as they go; the work that drive
and forces a man and woman to brin
every talent of mind and body int
play is the greatest gift that can ia
to the lot of any human being.
And when we teach the young thai
it is a misfortune to have to worE
and to despise work, we are bringin
down the curse of curses on thel
heads.
