Columbus, Ga, October 29. Especial. )-Despite the fact that in history we find Colum- bus discovered America, it is a convincing fact, when viewing the great throng of football fans here today that America has discovered Columbus.
 The River City people have quit dis cussing politics and boil weevils for at least until the Georgia Auburn game IS decided. This game will be de- cided here tomorrow afternoon when the Wildcats and Tigers lock pads on the Driving Park field.
 Columbus Is all agog over this great event. The alumni associations of Georgia and Auburn have been active workers for the last flew weeks for the promotion of this game, and the cc]ors of the two institutions are pre- dominating as far as you can see. For several weeks banners and sio- gans for automobiles have been sent to the neighboring towns and con sequently the football fans of two states are gathering in the River City to witness game which promises to

Birmingham will undoubtedly adorn a riot of color this morning as soon as local inhabitants have had time to arise to their daily tasks, tasks which, by the way. might have been laid aside this one day in order that the city might turn out in full force to do honor 70 King Football,' the greatest of monarchs. the king with millions of followers.
 Automobiles will be decked in the CTS will be much in evidence, some marked with crimson, some with purple, each with white. It will be a gala day of rejoicing and celebration.
 Headed by Coach Abel, the Sewanee Tigers arrived in Birmingham last night. They will hold a light signal drill on the golf links of the Country Club this morning. Twenty men comprised the Tiger party.
 CRIMSONS FAyORITES
 Alabama rules favorite to win this afternoon, although the betting odds are not as heavy as it was first thought they would be. Some are even offering even money but these daring ones are very fev and hard to find. Three to two seems to be the ruling odds being offered.
 Coach Scott is bringing a fast, hard- hitting squad to Birmingham. With prac- tcally the same back field as last year and line equally as good as that of 1919. the Crimson should be able to more than hold their own against the Tigers. Sewanee, however, has much better team this year than last, and is expected to put up much better fight than she did in 1919.
 The game today will begin at 2:5o o'clock. Tickets may be purchased befoSe going to the game at uptown stations named before. Parkers', Loveman's and Reynolds Haberdashery have tickets for la

Dixie Flyer Wins High Honors Tn
 Fox Hunt Derby

Tuscaloosa. October 29.v veSpecial)-The judges in the fox races today made awards in the first iworays of the derby hunt to the successful winners. The highest general average in the derby was won by Dixie Flyer, owned by Homer Howard of Gainesville, Ga. Two Of the prettiest races of the meet took place late last night at the Patton Lodge six miles from Tuscaloosa, in which some of the best dogs took part. The traii of a fox was taken up but the amman eluded capture. Eighteen hounds were in this race Big bonfires were lighted and several hundred people watched the dogs as far as they could be seen ana waited the result of the races, listening eagerly to the dogs as they made the surrounding woods ring with their music. A good many fine hounds have changed hands. Drs A. w. and D. B.

OUR CHANGING SELVES
By H. Addington Bruce

WYE marvel at the phenomenon of So
w called secondary personality We
deem 1t one Of the strangest things
imaginable that man can literally lead two
lives, in the one displaying most attractive
traits, in the other descending perhaps to
the basest villainies.
And most of us are under the impression
that such happening is something quite
apart from normal experience, fantastic
oddly entirely in class by itself.
Yet this is mistaken impression. Sec
ondary personality is actually but an exag-
geration Of what occurs, with varying fire.
quency, in all of U.s.
Often it happens, for example, that we
wake up in the morning with feelings, de-
sires and points of view radically different
from those with which we went to bed.
We come downstairs depressed, sullen, irri-
table, as the case may be. We are not good
company for anybody. We manifest, in fine,
a personality wholly unlike that OF our usual
good-natured self.
Our friends recognize the change in us.
Won deringly, regretfully, or perhaps loosely,
they inform us that we certainly are in a
queer mood.
Now, between these slight, transient
changes of personality called moods and the
profounder Jekyll-Hyde changes there Is in
reality difference not of kind, but merely
of degree. The latter are only moods ac-
centuated.
And, indeed, in not few cases Of second
airy personality it is possible to trace the
evolution of the second self through history
If recurring and gradually increasing moodi-
lcTs.
Making no adequate attempt to conquer
the moody tendencies, surrendering little by
little to the disquieting emotions involved
the way was cleared for a pathological altera-
ton under the stress of some sudden shock,
some illness, or some accident.
Which suggests that failure to keep ones
emotions well controlled, over-readiness to
yield to ones feelings, may make any per-
son a potential victim OF secondary person
ality.
Certainly, at all events, emotional insta-
bility prepares the soil for the development
of moods into permanent and far-reaching
character changes, we'll described in the
words Of Morton Prince, one of the foremost
authorities on personality problems:
Zone or more sides to ones character may
vanish, and the individual may exhibit sin
gle side on all occasions. Or the ethical. sys-
TENS built up and conserved by early peda-
gogical, social and environmental training
may cease to take part in the mental proc
esses and regulate conduct. Or, again, the
ideas which pertain to the lighter side of life
and it's social enjoyments may be lost"
The obvious moral being:
Cultivate control OF your emotions and
keep an eye on your moods. And If you find
moodiness becoming paramount trend, con-
quer it lest it transform you into an inferior,
an unpleasant, perhaps an unbalanced SELF

Shortest, and Best

In highly interesting table of compar-
alive distances the Manufacturers Record
shows how much more advantageous it is
for shippers in the Central West to route
their export cargoes through Southern out
lets than through those Of the overcro wded
North Atlantic. 1t appears, for example, that
there are nine Southern ports nearer to Dem
yer than New York is, the nearest represent
ing gain Of some seven hundred miles
Likewise Kansas City can save between four
hundred and five hundred miles of rail
transportation on ocean bound shipments by
using Southern rather than Northeastern
paths.
1t is one thousand and fifty-two miles
from st. Louis to New York, and little more
than nine hundred miles from st. Louis to
Savannah. Georgia ports present a distinct
advangtage, but only as regards distance but
also in point of general service and accom-
mediation. They and their Southern neigh
bors are never locked in ice, are never ocn
gested, are never beset with any Of the grave
difficulties which have throtted commerce
at North Atlantic terminals. Surely there
should be arbitrary system Of freight rates
to deprive the common country of these ad
vantages.

What Is Amer;can;zat;;on?
IN the midst of much pretentious bu

I'm the midst OF mucn pretenIlOus puC
ignorant talk about Americanizatfon it
is refreshing to hear SO frank and SEN
sible a comment as that by the Finnish
journal Paivalehti, published at Duluth
Minnesota Says that observer: "The man
is a good-for-nothing who at moments
notice can forget his past, his kin, his
people, and without sigh change his
views OF life and ways of thinking, even il
he is aware of all the opportunities the
newcomer finds here"
In such a character there would not be
depth enough for the seed OF Americanism
to find rootage and nurture, howsoever
carefully they might be sown; the blood of
loyalty cannot be stirred and thickened In
a human turnip. Yet we too often wax I'M
patient with immigrants because they are
not readjusted and re-made over night. We
ask them to shake off breeding and birth
as mere dust of the soles, and to think
in terms which, to them, are utterly for
eign. If this be our attitude we would bet
ter shut the gates against newcomers al
together-and assuredly restrictions should
be more cautious than hitherto. American
ization is not the work Of a moment or of
month, but of years-the fruitage of ed
ucational effort and influence.
It's best teacher is the loyal thoughtful,
sympathetic American to the manner born.
It's worst enemy is he who, though native
to our country's blessings, babbles against
her institutions and laws, or flouts her
guarantees of common justice. '"The inspi-
ration and mainstay of unrest among i'm
migrants" our Finnish contemporary de-
clares, "are socialistic and communistic
newspapers published in English, which
preach sedition against the Government and
preach doctrines contrary to American
ideals" Further: "Profiteering arouses dis
content and a revolutionary spirit against
existing conditions; where there is cause of
discomfort, there is discontent; when causes
cease, effects cease also" seasonable re-
hinder, this, and one which Americans may
apply proftably in dealings one with an
other as well as with the strangers with

The inheritance of Ohio IN the
Presidential Camba;qn

HEN the Republicans turned to Ohio
M for their Presidential nominee it
was foregone that Democrats would
look in that same direction. The Buckeye
State. always politically important, is Pc
culiarly so in this year of tense strategy
and narrow margins. Fourth among the
States in population and fourth also in cleo
toral votes, Of which it has twenty-four, 1t
is recognized by both parties as one Of the
decisive battlefelds. A candidate could we'll
afford to lose Arizona, New Mexico, Neva-
da, Wyoming, Vermont and Delaware, If at
the same time he could win Ohio. But los
ing that vantage ground, he would profit
little though he gained a number of rein
forcements like New Hampshire or Florida,
or Oregon. Whenever, in a national con-
test the Republicans have lost Ohio, they
have lost the election. The Democrats car
ried it sweepingly in 1912, and without
it's support they could scarcely have won
in 1915. Naturally, then, they are consider
ing, as one of the major problems of the
forthcoming campaign, how to keep Ohio in
unexpectedly since the opposition has
chosen that States senior Senator, Hon.
Warren G. Harding, for its highest honor.
The situation is rendered the more in
teresting by the fact that the Democrats

1t is a strange but true fact that cor

a disgrace among the young. The
boy who eschews slang and respects
his vowels and "ing's' usually has
his life made a burden by his school
mates. The girl who used cultivated

This man had been a hard and ty-

He was stern and cold to his chill

them even when they were babies.
He never talked to them. or took
