AT a motion picture theater recently,

Any one of the millions of movie
devotees who read this article will in

Their name is legion. Like the poor
they are always with us. They enter
with much glee, and tread upon the
feet of those in front of whom they
have to pass. They take much time in
getting seated, and when finally set
tied the talkfest begins.
What they did the night before;
what they are going to do tomorrow;
the conquests they have recently
made; the clothes which they hope
soon to get, are all related at length
for the edification of the people near
them. Their gable is continuous, to
the dismay and annoyance of those
who really desire to see the picture
and hear the music. Even If repri-

they are soon at 1t again, unabashed.

learn that the first requisite of
lady or gentleman is to be consider
ate of others. They are not vicious.
They do not go to the theater for the
purposes of annoying people. They
simply do not think.
That fact is the cause of a great
deal of annoyance and unhappiness in
this world. People are thoughtless.
Thousands go through the day with a
pain at their heart because some one
who didn't think, said an unkind
thing, or did an act which, if they had
thought before doing it, they would
have left undone. The majority of
people do not want to make others
unhappy. They simply do not think.
And, perhaps, this criticism of the
habit or not thinking about others
may be applied with benefit to the in
dividual person.
The man who was given a letter to
post for his wife and did not do so,
causes her annoyance. The wife who
suggests a theater party. would, If she
had only stopped to think. have real
lied that after an especially hard days
work, her husband would much prefer
a quiet evening at home. The mother.
who, absorbed in some fancied social
obligation, unwitting1y neglects her
child, causes the little heart to feel
the sting of loneliness.
What different world this would
be If people would only, once in a
while, stop to think! There would be
less irritation, less annoyance, fewer
aching hearts, and-perhaps. less
movie madness.-Dearborn Indepen- |

Recoil of the Pendulum.

It is evident that the high cost
pendulum is in the recoil. Following
closely upon the price reduction an
of the Ford Motor Com

New Hampshire that the price of
manufactured cotton goods is to be
cut one-third. From Chicago, where
the Retail Clothiers' Association of
America is holding its annual conven-

pending drop, according to dealers. It
is stated that manufacturers are find
ing themselves with a steadily increas-
ing surplus, not because the public
could not make use of the available
stocks, but because the public would
not pay the high prices demanded.
Thus, the public itself appears to
be winning the war against high
prices by nothing more than a resort
to the irrevocab1e law of supply and
demand. The fever OF profiteering
may have prompted price makers to
attempt an evasion of that law. and

FORCETSCOTTON;;
PROFIT $4,000
Deal Closed After Death
of Noted Chicago
Physician

CHICAGO, June 23.-This isn't a
good story for get-rich-quick people
to read. But it has moral which
seems to be that when one CANDLES IN
the cotton or stock market the thing
to do is to go away and pay no at
tention to what happens.
That is what DR.. Harry J.. Helsel-
den did. He was the physician who
refused to operate on deformed chill
dren to save their lives. He died In
Havana a year ago. Six months be
fore he died he gave his friend. T.
W. Wagner, a broker, $4,000 to buy
200 bales of cotton. The cotton was
bought at 15 cents pound. Once ne
was told he had big profit. HIS
reply was to buy more. When ne
died his estate was valued at $4,000
Last Saturday, by an order OF court
Mr.. Wagner closed the cotton deal al
a profit of $4,000.
81 simply did what any man IN my
position would do" Mr.. Wagner SAID
today. 81 saw no reason to close the
account as long as it was increasing
so fast"
! Mrs. Elizabeth Van Horn, of Hub
bard Woods, a niece, is the sole hen
to the estate.

Sees DANGER in
CHURCH PARKING
Fire Chief Points to Prac-
tice of Con-
gregation

Cars park too closely at First Bap-
tist church every Sunday, according
to Chief B. L. Naylor, of the Fire
Department, who fears a serious acci-
dent may be caused by this practice,
should it be necessary for the fire
trucks to make a run along Lee street
and turn into Taylor during the SER
vice hour at the church. Speaking of
this practice today, Chief Naylor said
only recently he passed the intersec-
tion of these streets and so many
cars were parked there he found 1T
necessary to stop altogether in order
to permit another car going in an OPP
posite direction to pass. "The fire
trucks are heavy machines" he said
today, "and | feel sure those who thus
endanger the lives of firemen do SO
unthoughtedly 1t is a violation of a
city ordinance to park cars 50 closely
he added, "and l feel sure the block
ing of the thoroughfare will be ended
once the matter is called to the atten-
tion of this congregation"
Another thing Chief Naylor asked
the Times-Recorder to call to the at
tention of the public is the practice of
automobiles running between fire
trucks when responding to an alarm.
The practice, he says, is both unlaw-
full and dangerous, and he asks that
the public discontinue it.

new HONOR FOR
SIM D. WALTERS
Chosen Member D. V. S
Senior Society at
Emory

Sim Douglas Walters, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Go W. Walters, who is a
member of the Glass of '21 at En-
ory University Atlanta, is the 140th
student of that institution to be ac-
corded the d. V. S. honor at the un-
iversity. Announcement of 1920 cleo
tions just received in Americas con-
veyed the intelligence of the honor
conferred on young Walters, and his
friends have been congratulating him
accordingly. The D. V. S. Senior So
ciety of Emory which tenders mem
bership in it annually to the "seven
most representative men" in each
senior class, was formed in the spring
of 1900. Of the lao elections made
all have accepted except one-Joe NJ.
Bryan, of Americas, being the lone
student who declined to receive the
honor offered him. His reason for not
accepting, it is said, was that at the
time a rather acrimonious rivalry ex-
listed between the fraternities at EN-
ory, and because of this he decided
the best interests of the institution
would be served by his declining. La
ter, he told his friends, he had recon
sidered, and it is his intention upon
the occasion of his next visit to an
Emory commencement to notify the
society of his acceptance.
One of the tenets of D. V. S. is
that none of its members, either un.
dergraduates or alumni are to discuss
its affairs, and under no circum-
stances are they permitted to men
ton the name of the organization. It's
sole purpose is the advancement of
the interests of Emory, and during
the whole of its twenty years exist
ence fraternity politics have been alb
solutely excluded from its councils.
An election to D. V. S. is considered
by college students throughout the
South as a stamp or brand which pro-
claims to the world "this man is an
all-'round man, leader who has won
an election to D. V. S. on his merits
and his conspicuous loyalty to the in
terests of Emory College," and is

JOKE ON THE ZEBRA.
Amusing Incident Told By Ringing
Barnum- Bailey Snowman.

Years ago there were people who IN
sisted that zebras were only white midget
mules striped with black paint. No doubt
there are persons who still think so. Now
and then when some credulous youth
hires out to John Patterson, superln-
tendent of the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum x Bailey Combined Shows
menagerie, the old fallacv is revived in the
nature Of joke. The stage il set By
one of Patterson : assistants, who hangs a
Fresh Paint sign over the back of d
zebra. Patterson then takes Johnnie New
conner over to the herd. He tells him II will
be bis duty 10 wash the zebras but warns
him to be very careful to work only
between the stripes and not 10
rub against the paint under penalty Of
being discharged. Then the stranger be-
gins the Job and furnishes much amuse-
meut until he finally comes TO realize that
all that Is black IS not necessarily black
paint.
The "convicts' as the menagerie care
takers term the zebras are but one species
of the hundreds contained IN the great

the finest animals of the two famous cir

THIRD PARTY TICKET
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN
La Toilette Ready to Head Party
of Protest if Johnson Will
Not.

Washington. May 17.-Whether or not
Hiram Johnson bolts the Republican Ma.
tional Convention second time and
offers himself as an Independent candidate
for the Presidency, there will be a third
ticket in the field promoted and supported
largely by the forces which now recognize
in Senator Johnson leader and spokes-
man.
This ticket will be headed by Senator
Robert NJ La Toilette, of Wisconsin, ac-
cording to interests which are now more
or less identified with the johnson wing
OF the Republican party, and which are
not yet certain that terms of peace will
be successfully negotiated between the
Johnsonites and the Old Guardsmen.
Already Senator La Toilette has been
rendered a Presidential nomination by
the Committee of Forty-eight, il is re-
liably reported here. This is group
of extreme radicals formed many months
ago To bring INTO existence n new party.
1t has the sympathetic support of many
people associated with the Plumb Plan
League and other semi-So,iaistc or
CARNATIONS.
1t is added that In Toilette tcnta-
lively has agreed 10 make campaign
as standard bearer of these elements pro-
the field this year, In other words, the
Wisconsin Senator seems To be waiting
to see what Johnson and his people do
before deciding upon course Of his own.
If the Chicago convention eventually
swallows Johnson, thereby branding the
Republican party as the extreme radical
party III the country. or il Johnson, af-
ter being denied the nomination, pIungcs
in as head Of a third party Of his own
making the La Toilette candidacy will
not materialize. The interests which
are prepared to champion him and he
championed by him seem to be ready TO
go bodily to Johnson. if he is the candi-
date. II he is not, they will look else
where
All the logic Of the present situation
points TO a third ticket candidacy on
the part Of Senator johnson. Few people
can he found in Washington who believe
for minute that he will be accepted
by the Republican convention If he is
rejected, he viii either surrender to the
Old Guard in behalf Of some compromise
candidate or he will engineer revolt
His hackers insist with manifest sincerity
that he will not surrender that no terms
can be offered him that he will accept
that do not include his own nomination
and that If he is turned down, he will
go berore tho country as an independent
II. OF course, remains TO be seen
or not logic, which usually has
small part in practical politics, governs
Johnson may vet turn out 10 be the
most gigantic buffer ol modern times
and may allow himself to be hridled
into supporting the Republican nominee
whether he dictates the nomination or
not But if he does, il appears to most
politicians, here that ia Toilette will
try to seize the leadership Of those forces
which the Californian viii have aban-
doned
