A neighborhood story down Lisbon

evening when his three small daugh-
ters were having too much fun jump
ing about and playing In their BEDS
went to the bottom Of the stairs and
threatened to spank them If they didn't
become quiet. The girls remained
quiet for a few minutes then the fun
broke out again. After this perform
ance had been repeated several times
the father went upstairs to carry out
his promise. Without taking the trou-
BILE to light lamp father administered
three spankings and went back down
stairs. Next morning the eldest Of
the girls complained bitterly. 'T don't
see why you spanked me twice" she
said. II didn't" the father replied.

Ten million rounds of ammunition
were fred by United States marines
on rifle ranges in the last II months,
according to the report of the inspec-
tor of rifle practice, given out at marine
corps headquarters in Washington.
This is the answer to the ques-
ton: Why are marines always crack
shots? which has been asked over and
over again by their opponents at re-
cent military rifle matches, when they
saw the "sea soldiers" walk away with
most of the trophies.

Wood Fibers,

A new conception of wood fiberS Is
given by the great number Of measure
ments that the forest products labora-
tory in Wisconsin has made. The
length Of the fibers, instead of being
uniform and characteristic in each
species, has been found to vary more
in single tree than In the average
for different species. One Douglas fir
had fibers ranging rom 0S to 7.65 mil
limeterS In length. though several
thousand measurements showed the
average for the Douglas fir to be
AL mllimeters and for the lOngleaf
pine 3.67 millimeters-a difference In
the average for two species Of less
than one millimeter or One-twenty
fifth of an inch. In early growth, up
TO 20 TO 80 years, the fiber length in
creased strikingly from the center out
ward, but after the maximum has been
reached the variation is small, even
though the tree live to 400 years or
more There is also some increase
in fiber length from the butt of
the tree upward for about two-thirds
of the distance to the top. Each an
nual ring shows variation In itself,
the wood of early spring having
longer tibers than that formed last
summer

practical immediate remedy to your
situation. | have a mighty high es-
TEEN for our school teachers; | think
they belong to class of people who
are working for more than just mon
ey; think they are in class with
those ministers who regardless of
pay will give their lives for the
children whom they strive to prepare
for their lifework; but there is much
that | cannot understand: There is
not one or more than one teacher in
the county that has attended a Sum-
mer School his year. And when you
consider that some teachers unqual-
fled have been given schools because
there were not enough who had
passed the examinations to fill them
and that there is not Glass A teach
er in more than one country school,
when you consider this great lack of
preparation on the part of teachers
and place it along side of the noble
ness in their souls which leads them
to teach for almost nothing-it is
difficult to understand it; but | say
hat while you are trying to raise the
salaries of the teachers to living
wage, here is way of improving the
capacity of the teaching force. The
teachers as servants of a Great Mas
ter, poor pay or good pay, must do
all in their power to make them
selves Class A teachers; and Cum
berland County must come down
with the cash. Together you can
work out the problem.
A Student of Mountain Problems.
while ga Student of Mountain
Problems" does not say so in so
many wirds, it is very plain that he
feel that one of the most pressing
problems is need of higher wages
for teachers. All are aware that
higher wages cannot be paid until
more money is available. There is
no way - get more money for
school OF 4or than by increasing the
schiol taH ate, which the county
court sho do at it's October term.
Again, - county can demand the
highest eff ;ency in its teachers until
high waGls are paid to attract the
best class IF teachers and at the same
time retain the best teachers we have
at home. Just now we are losing
several of our best teachers, who are
going to Roane county. No person
will blame them for going where they
get the higher price for their work.
Let's increase the school tax so more
money will be available for next
year and thereby have longer terms
and better eachers.-Editor Chron-

OBSTINATE MAN A WEAKLlhG
Far From Being Sign of Strength,
"BuIlhea adedness" Is Distinguish
ing Mark of Inferiorlty.

In the course of an article on
"Where We Get Our Moods" in Peo-
pleS Magazine for June, the author
says:
"Sbstinacy, psychologists assert, Is
a sign of a deep-seated sense of in
feriority. This is acquired in child
hood and often comes, they say, from
a trifiing source. Red hair, small size,
girlish delicacy in a boy, freckleS,
slowness at books, butter fingers,
clumSlneSs at sports, or poverty may
make child feel himself inferior to
other children. Alfred Adler, who has
studied the subject thoroughly, holds
that the inferiOrity of physical organ
like the heart or lungs or eyes has a
direct influence in determining the
personality.
Long after the original defect has
vanished its effect upon the individual
remains, sometimes to the detriment
of his business relations. A man may
all his life strive to equal some boyish
rival whom he has in reality long sur
passed. There are two methods Of
doing this. One is the logical way
of an ambitious attack on life. AS
an individual gradually accumulates
prestige and financial security he Sc
cures ease from the goading sense of
inadequacy. In this way 1t may act
as a spur. The other method is the
unsatisfactory one Of overcompensa-
ton, just as Whippe was obstinate in
manhood because he couldn't hold his
own in childhood. Here 1t Is an OBJ
structlon.
"The habitual boaster appears, from
this viewpoint, merely a little boy
whistling to keep up his courage. A
man fitting back in his Office chair
boasting how much pig iron he has
Sold may be unconseiously trying to
convince himself that he is now smart
er than Chuck Jones' who used to win
all his marbles away from him when
they played for keeps behind the
schoOlhouSe."

A few nights ago lady, as the tale
is told in the Boston Herald by Philip
Hale, arriving after midnight by train
at the Back Bay station with two trav-
cling bags, saw only one cab for pas
sengers. Two men were getting into
it. They looked at her and-got in.
The driver, negro, seeing the lady's
plight, asked her where she wished to
go. She answered: 1.-THE Chiffon
club" He said would you mind,
ma'am, sitting up here with me?' The
two men inside heard this talk. They
did not ask her to share the cab with
them; they were not shamed by the
negro'S courtesy and solicitude. One
said to the other: 81 think I'll try the
Algonquin club They drove off, the
men inside, the lady on the box, sit
ting next to a gentleman.

MAY LOSE RAILROAD
Heavy Cost Of Right Of Way Out of
CrossVIIle the Cause.

From information just learned,
Crossville seems likely to lose the
new railroad that is planned to be
built to Devilstep Hollow to the big
timber tract of the Pierpont- Paxton
Company.
Through recent conversation
with E. P. Melvin, manager for the
Plerpont-PaXton Company, we learn
that persons owning the property
here in town, through which the road
is desirous of being built, are asking
so much for the right-of- way that it
will cost close to $4,000 to get out
of town with the road.
The company has no way of con-
demning the right-of-way unless it
becomes common carrier, which
the builders do not at this time de-
sire, but prefer to build and operate
it as a private enterprise.
The people of Crab Orchard have
awakened to the business opportun-
ity the building and operating of the
road means, coupled with the large
amount of business the shipping of
many millions of feet of lumber
from that point will develop, and
have offered to furnis hthe right-of-
way free of all cost if the road is
built to that point on the Tennessee
Central. They have even gone fur
ther, we are informed, and have
agreed to pay the company several
hundred dollars in cash as we'll as
providing the right-of-way.
We are informed that the line can
be made a little shorter from the
timber tract, if run to Crab Orchard
instead of coming to Crossville. The
survey has not yet been made, but
the work on the survey will com
mence at once, we learn.
That the building of the road to
Crossville, coupled with the business
it will develop, would be of great
benefit to our town there can be no
question. 1t would seem wise
course for our people to take some
action looking to having the road
come to Crossville instead of going
to Crab Orchard. The people of
Crab Orchard are certainly to be
for the business push
and public spirit they are showing in
their effort to secure the road, and.
the question now is, will Crossville
manifest the same activity and enter
prise and thereby secure the road?

 Washington, May 4.-President Will son will certainly veto the Knox peace resolution if passed by the senate, it was stated today in an authoritative quarter. This resolve already made by the president was made known to administration leaders in the senate, who quickly called off their proposed filibuster by which the senate's action on the bill might have been postponed until after the summer recess.
 At the presidents suggestion, Sen ator Underwood has recalled any idea of filibuster, and the entire Demo cratic program reshaped for the fight against the resolution when it is for mally presented in the senate tomor- row. The Knox resolution proposes that the president shall negotiate a separate peace with Germany and Austria, supplanting the treaty of Versailles so far as the United States is concerned. Its author, Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, will formally present it in the senate tomorrow.
