OVER THE WALL
By DR.. Frank Crane

Walking along In the outer edge of Heaven
the other day, was attracted by the rather
unusual spectacle of a man leaning over
the wall, watching the doings of earth and
laughing fit to kill, although Of course that
is entirely by way of being figure of speech,
since there can be no killing in Heaven.
And not, let me explain, that it is unusual
to be mirthful, but the pleasurable sensations
are ordinarily expressed by smiles, gesturing
eyebrows, changing eyes and dignifed mo-
vaudeville outlaws.
But this fellow was laughing. It was
whoopee, and hobo, haha, and we'll
never, and he slapped his knee and all that
So went up to him and SAID:
whats the joker"
Still exploding with mirth like balky
motor, he pointed down to earth and replied:
'Lookety!
1 looked where he pointed and saw in the
city of London funeral procession winding
it's way to the city's place of honor.
"Well?" aid I.

a regulation and genuine unknown soldier,
it's me-"
"You were an English soldier, killed on
the battlefield, and now they are burying you
in state?"
'sure! Bishops, and horses with black
overcoats on, and bands, and orations and
everything.

Back to Holy Land

Emigration of Jews to Palestine is in
creasing rapidly in central and eastern Eu-
rope, and the new Palestine immigration
regulations would allow of a controlled i'm
migration Of about 1900 Zionists of the
pioneer class during the coming year, said
S. Landmann, secretary of the Zionist organ
ization, in an interview.
Mr. Landmann said the selection Of the
immigrants is being made by the Zionist
organization, which has established Pales-
tine offices in the important Jewish centers.
Preference is given to young people, strong
in body and determined in spirit, who have
had actual experience in agriculture or other
manual work and who know Hebrew.

FAMILY DISEASES
By H. AddinqtOn Bruce

ny IL FAdOhASlOA DlOS\
q O-CALLED family diseases, concerning
which 1 have been asked to say some
w. thing, fall into two classes. In the
first of these there is direct inheritance Of
disease from parent to child. In the second
there is merely an inheritance of some spe-
cial tendency to disease.
A common example Of the second class is
found in tuberculosis, which so often occurs
in successive generations of the same fam
lily. This frequency of family occurrence has,
in fact, given rise to widespread belief
that tuberculosis can be directly inherited.
But modern medical research has made it
certain that all that is inherited in family
tuberculosis is a tendency to disease, The
tuberculosis itself is always acquired, the re-
suit Of exposure to the germs of the disease.
When, however, the liability to exposure
is reduced and care is at the same time TAX
en- to strengthen the lungs by proper nour-
ishment, open-air living, etc, tuberculosis
may be averted even from those with pre-
disposition to it. AS experience has again and
again demonstrated
Similarly there may be inherited other or
ganic weaknesses predisposing to disease Of
the heart kidneys Or stomach. But agan,
the special predispostion being known, it is
possible to institute measures preventing the
occurrence of the particular family disease.
And, it is good to be able to add, most
family diseases are of this second and pre-
venta BILE class. Moreover, the diseases which
may be directly inherited and do not seem
to be susceptible of prevention are both few
in number and of infrequent occurrence.
might blindness" falls into this category.
So does "hemophilia," or a tendency to bleed
excessively from slight injury. Victims Of
"hemophilia'' may bleed to death from
cut that in other people would quickly cease
bleeding.
There is also a species of blindness, occur
ring about the age of twenty-five, that is
directly inheritable This is supposed to be
due to peculiar anatomical defect causing
trouble in the optic nerve.
Indeed, all directly inherited family dis
eases seem to have for their origin a NAL
formation of some sort. Whereas the more
numerous indirectly inherited are always the
product, not of malformation, but of a
weakness which may be effectually over
come through remedial measures taken in
good season.

The Martha Berry School

| IN the words of the Savannah Morning
News, the opportunity of Georgia peo-
pie to express their appreciation OF the
Martha Berry school at Rome by building d
Georgia building" there, now is converted
| into a. demand. Fire a few days ago de-
stroyed dormitory at the schooi wnlch II
will cost eighteen thousand dollars 10 re-
place And Georgians. should and Will re-
place it.
To those familiar with the Martha Berry
school and it's splendid service to Georgia 5
mountain boys and grls-and through tnen
to the State as whole-no words should De
necessary to emphasize this loss and the ne
cessty for immediate raising of the supstan-
tial fund required to redeem disaster.
The school opened it's doors under the di-
rection of Miss Berry on January Ii, 1907.
The property then consisted OF hundred
acres Of land irrevocably decided to the ooaro
of trustees by it's donor and founder Ana
that was about ALL The dream OF MISS Berry
was that the school should give to the
hardy healthy youth of North Georgia the
| opportunity to educate themselves, both IN
dustrially and mentally. Originally it was
her intention to limit the attendance to
boys, but the need and the call could not
be denied-girls also were admitted.
How wonderfully her dream has fowered
and blossomed into reality those Georgians
know who have visited the school, who have
beheld the students fairly glowing IN the
enthusiasm of their work, and who have
seen them, upon graduation, develop into
such fine men and women as make the
backbone and heart of the Commonwealth.
This, Miss Berry, almost alone in her strug-
gle, has accomplished over measureless
hardships She has had neither endowment
nor appropriation for the school. The State
gave nothing. The people Of the State have
given but little more. Almost entirely was
the institution financed and maintained by
interested patrons in the North and East.
Truly, though a prophet be without honor
in his own country, the time has come when
Georgians should never allow this to be said
Of the Martha Berry school. Rome and Floyd
county, who know it's work best, are re-
spending most promptly and eagerly in the
crisis that faces the school. The rest of
Georgia has Endorsed the proposal that a
Georgia building" be erected at Martha
Berry. But it is long past the hour for in
dorsements and praise; it is time for Geor-
gians everywhere to give freely and without
stint that the Martha Berry school may con-
tinue and prolong it's noble work. Nor let
us stop with eighteen thousand dollars
While there is such an imperative need,
while the money for new building must be
forthcoming, let us make it building in
which Georgians all will take pride. Moth
ing less than fifty thousand-dollar fire
proof dormitory, to accommodate at least
one hundred boys, is the proposal the Sa-
vannah News advances. The seconds to that
proposal should be unanimous. And, by an
overwhelming majority, the people of the
State should rally to the call.

fundamental Facts of Today

w must be thorough rssaju sar se-
companied by good deal of defla-
ton, before American business gets square,
ly back upon a peace basis, and that in
the. course of this process certain ills and
losses are unavoidable, Mr.. Charles H. Sa-
bin, of New York. one of the nations fore
most men Of affairs, asserts full confidence
in the future and condemns as "little short
of criminal anyone who, through ignor-
ance or design, would paint present condi-
lions so dark to obscure the vital under
lying facts.
Just what are those facts? Some of the
more salient Of them Mr.. Sabin sets forth
from his vantage point of observation as
President of the Guaranty Trust Company.
'This country" he says, will harvest this
year one of the largest crops in it's history;
it's transportation congestion has been re-
lieved and it's railroad system is for the hrst
time in a decade on sound financial ana
operating basis; our banking system has
withstood the greatest credit strain in it's
history and is on a sound and workable
basis; the accumulated surplus OF live
years of splendid prosperity is stored IN
many ways for our continued use; the mar
kets of the world demand our products and
a great mercantile marine is prepared to
transport them; this country has not been
over-built or over-extended in any Of its I'M
DERIVING activities, and faces no program OF
readiustment along these lines such as
usually precipitates panic conditions. We
are in the soundest financial, industrial and
political condition of any important nation
in the world
To no region of America are these wise
and cheering words more applicable than to
the South. Here, as elsewhere, the transi-
ton from wartime to peace-time standards
gives rise to inconvenience if not to hard
ships. But beneath all the eddies and
whirls of the hour is an untroubled and in
exhaustibe flow of prosperity. That clear
and careful thinking are specially needful
at this time, none will deny. But it is the
very antipode of clear thinking to conceive
of present conditions as fundamentally I'M
sound and discouraging. Never were the
vast natural resources of Georgia and her
neighbor states more inviting to enterprise
and industry than today; never was the
thought of discriminating investors so in
tent upon them: never was the spirit of the
rank and file of their people better attuned
20 progress and sturdy endeavor Only a
craven can fail to believe in such country;
only a laggard can fail to go forward with
it's high-hearted hosts.

Georgia Endorsement of
The PROPOSED Worlds Fair
ENEROUS Endorsements of the pro-

~ ENEROUS Endorsements of the pro.
\ posed Worlds Fair in Atlanta contin.
ue to come from near and far. Par
ticularly notable is the recent comment OF
President j. Kelley Simmons of the Georgia
Press Association. Writing as editor OF the
Telfair Enterprise and as leader in en-
beavers for the public good, he declares con-
corning the value and the prospect of a great
exposition in 1926, Everything points to
an enthusiastic backing by the people of At
lanta and of the State generally. That some
thing of this sort is needed to direct atten-
ton to the Southeast no one will deny, and
that Atlanta is the logical place no one, GER
tainly no Georgian, will deny. 1t will have
been thirty .rears since the Piedmont expo
sitiOn and ten years since the San Francisco
exposition; this will be the proper time for a
Worlds Fair"
Especially interesting too, is the judg-
ment of Editor Paul T. Harder, cormer presi-
dent of the State Press Association. "No
project ever suggested for the South's well
fare and advancement" says he in his Com
merce Observer, carried such an appeal as
does the proposed Atlanta exposition. ALI
Georgia can heartily indorse it. 1t would
come at a lime when the world would be
getting back on it's feet industrially and COM
mercially. The State would reap untold
benefits
From that ever alert and constructive
newspaper, the Rome News, comes this high
ly appreciated pledge of support: "Consid-
ering that Atlanta has contributed so much
in a friendly spirit to the upbuilding OF
Rome even as Rome has contributed so
through her sons to the upbuilding of At
Ianta, we can we'll afford to back up this
project with all our spirit and all our
much throug'l her sons to the upbuild-
ing of Atlanta, we can we'll afford to back
up this project with all our spirit and
all our strength. The Atlanta Fair will be
thing that Rome and Floyd county will
find great pride in. When the roll OF ex-
hibitors and visitors is called, Rome will
answer with loud 'Here!'
From such comments may be inferred
something of the full-sine Led aid which may
be counted upon if the idea of an interna-
tional exposition in Alta. ia duly materiallzes.
The entire State and the entire South un-
doubtedly will support truly great enter
prise of this nature. But no half-handed,
half-hearted undertaking would deserve sup
port 1t is gratifying, therefore, that the
Atlanta leaders are proceeding with care as
we'll as with zest, looking closely into every
aspect of the project, testing enthusiasm
with cool business sense, and resolving either
to produce a fair of which all America and
the world will take note, or to let the prof.
Get alone. That the former course will be
pursued to splendid consummation, every
DEVELOPMENT thus far goes to betoken.

4 Thrifty Suggestion
rom the heart of the empire of

rom the heart of the empire of the
r. peach, the Fort Valley LeaderTrib-
une gives a seasonable suggestion
on that other lump of lusciousness, the Geor-
gia yam The farmers and gardeners or that
region, it observes, have raised more sweet
n0tatoes and better ones this year than ever
before with the consequence OF an over
supplied local market. What can be done!
1.-The Leader-Tribune several times has called
attention to what other communities are
doing in the way of providing storage and
curing houses. We have heard of no such
provisions being contemplated here. But
there are seven or more canning factories
in Fort Valley and it's vicinity. Would t
rot be mutually profitable for the owners
of these canneries and the farmers to use
them for canning the surplus of the potato
crop?"
To what advantage this idea can be ap
demonstrated on large scale; and there IS
scarcely town or village, in potato grow
ing areas. that could not turn it to goodly
account. Storage and curing houses, it is
true are essential where large quantities
of sweet potatoes are. produced. But even
when those facilities are ample, there still
is need of the cannery; for by this latter
means it is possible to utilize bushel upon
bushel of spuds which are of too inferior a
size for Grating, but excellent for canning
In this way thousands of dollars worth Of
peaches which formerly went to waste are
now preserved. Why not save the sweet
potatoes, too? It is conservation at just such
points that constitutes true thrift. And thrift,
rather than mere resources or mere labor
is the winner and holder of prosperity.

About this time Chinese diplomat visited
the studio on his way through California.
With great ride, the set department led hasl
to the newly constructed waterfront and
asked him what he thought of it. The dip
lomat bowed politely and said he thought II
was very nice. Seeing tn; he smiled, how
ever, the set artists pressed him for a criti-
cism. "Well," he sal at length 81 did not
know there were many shoe stores in

all of the signs in the shops were shoe signs. ,
With a background of moods and emo
lions, of course, all such discrepancies would
be severely eliminated .....

Canal Successful

The Panama canal has closed the best
year financially in it's six years of operation
with an excess Of $2,387, 500 in revenue over
the expense of operation and maintenance.
Brigadier General Chester Harding gov
ernor of the Panama canal, predicted in his
annual report Of the secretary of war that
within reasonable period of normal world
conditions, the canal will earn an actual
profit on it's cost which has been $366,68O,-
600, exclusive Of expenditures for it's mill
tary and naval offense In the meantime. the
general added, the canal is performing an
important commercial service by stimulating
American trade with the west coast of South
America and the Orient. More than rs per
cent of the cargo handled through the canal
since its opening was in transit between the
United States and South America, and 54h
per cent was between the Atlantic coast of
the United States and the Orient
