 Waiting while her life endures, Waiting for loving letter Which shall make her hurt heart better:-
 Is that mother yours? Somewhere, where the postman fingers, Are mothers reaching finger Ever hoping to be thrilled Fingers which have served and blessed you And whose tender touch caressed you;-
 Shall they not be filled? Somewhere, where the stars are gleaming There's a mother lies dreaming
 Of the hopes her days contain, And her mother face grows tender At the message you shall send her

CWritten for The Christian Science
 Monitor)
 When Mrs Eddy declared, on page 24O of ~Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures Mind is perpetual motion It's symbol is the sphere. The rotations and revolutions of the uni verse of Mind go on eternally, she not only stated an immortal and, therefore demonstrable truth, but she at the same time exposed the funda- mental error that has defeated the physicists in their search for the law of perpetual motion. Whether they have considered motion in the abstract or. concrete. the materialists have ex- plained to their own satIsfacuoil--at least they have explained-that per petual motion is impossible because of the existence of friction. What they have failed to perceive is that friction is a product of materiality, of the be- lief that matter is substantial and is real. and that this belief itself consti- tutes the element of friction that everywhere tends to prevent harnoni- ous motion. whether it be that or ma chinery or of mems personal activities.
 Anyone who thinks about il for a moment must admit that all motion from the lift of a sparrow's wing to the orbital sweep of star, Is con- formable to law: that it is indeed the expression of law Tn their golngs and comingS men have been for the most part ignorant or or lilallLeieht 10 this law or, if they have considered 1t. they have sought for both the law and it's manifestation in matter.

WHOSE BABY? BLOOD
TEST FAILS TO SHOW

ATLANTA, Oct. 23.-Where Sol
omon succeeded, science has failed.
The rouoh-and-ready "sword test"
of King Solomon decided instanter
the controversy over the parentage
of the infant. The elaborate and
delicate blood test of Judge George
L. Bell, in Superior court here, failed
to name the mother of Madelaine
Louise.
Now Judge Bell will summon a
jury to determine, if it can, which
of two women-Mrs. Daniel Pitt
man and Mrs. John G. Garner-is the
mother of 17-months-old Madelaine.
Science Fails.
Finger print experts and experts
in facial expression, testified to the
resemblance between Made'aine and
the rival mothers" and their child
ren. Cartoonists, phol ogiaphers and
artists had their say and students If
heredity expressed their opinions.
Finally a blood test proved nothing.
It was six of one and half dozen
of the other and did no more to con-
vince Judge Bell than it did to in
terest pretty and chubby Madelaine,
counting her fingers and making love
to her toes in the big court chair.
She crowed and she cooed and she
called them both mamma"

Board

With the first project of three
miles of rural paving practically
complete, and the winter rainy sea-
son coming on, the board of coun-
ty commissioners, in called session
at the court house Friday afternoon,
voted to discontinue all rural paving
work for the present until bust
ness becomes normal" It instruct
ed Superintendent John Ansley to
notify all men connected WITH the
paving work that their services
would not be reqyired after Novem-
Der 1. The board also went on rec
ord as ordering a reduction in sal
aries of all emloyes retained in coun-
ty work beginning November l.
The resolution ordering discon-
tinuance of the paving work states
that this action is being taken cow
ing to the depressed business con-
dition and desiring to conserve the
resources of the county"
1t was said after the meeting by
members of the board that the ac-
ton was taken on several cohsidera-
tions. Oneof these was the desire to
leave all of the bond money in the
banks during the present temporary
stringency so that the lending pow

PEOPLE WON'T
STAND RAISE,
SAYS GLOVER
Chamber Officials To
Discuss Action On
Rates

President C. S. Glover, of the
Chamber of Commerce, has called a
special meeting of the directors for
Tuesday mornin, October 26, at 10
o'clock, for the purpose of taking
action on several important mat
ters, among which is mentioned the
application of the Americus Light
ing company for increase of gas and
electric rates.
Judging from the large number
of people who have filed objection
to the increase, it is very evident
that consumers of gas and electricity
in Americas are not going to stand
for higher rates for the very poor
class of service which has been
rendered here for several months
past" said Mr.. Glover.
The directors of the chamber will
also take some action on the propo-
sition to secure for Americus the
new college to be established by the
Christian church at some point in
Georgia or Alabama, mention of
which was made in these columns
several days ago. President Glover
requests any citizens who may be
interested in this matter to attend
the meeting.

men have postponed their proposed

the request of the miners execu-
tives, was announced this evening,
The miners have accepted the invi-

Informal conversations between

cussion between Premier Lloyd
George and several other members
Of the government, in which the sec
retary of the miners organization
was one of the participants.
Representatives of the mine own
ers also conferred with the govern
ment. The view expressed in gov
ernment circles this afternoon was
that the strike situation was by no
mean without hope of favorable
solution. During the discussions
between the government and the
miners informal proposals are ex.
pected to be made which may con-
tain the nucleus for ultimate settle
ment.
Tension over the strike seemed
slightly relaxed this morning.
