DAWNS
By H. Addington Bruce

BY II. AddlngtOn Bruce
@ UNSETS, with their sublime color effects,
have true inspirational value, as multi
w. tudes can testify from unique personal
experiences. SO have dawns, though far fewer
take opportunity to profit from their contenr-
plation.
Dawns, in tuth, often are more subtly ex-
alting than any sunset. The soul expands as
they grow in radiance from their hrst rant
flush of rose or gold or silvery gray
They bring to the discouraged benign
SUGGESTION of waxing, not waning power.
They give new heart for undertakings that
may seem desperate. They confirm the am
bilious in their resolutions to progress.
To this creative and recreative impulse I
can bear witness from dawns I myself have
watched 1 am reminded of it, too, by an
uncommonly beautiful passage in Violet
Tweedale's recent and most extraordinary
book, "Ghosts 1 Have Seen"
eve have been given many wonderful
dawns this winter" Mrs. Tweedale notes,
land 1 have used them eagerly as cleansing
of the war-weary mind and distracted soul.
In such ethereal apparitional daWns one walks
with the Eternal and all temporal thlngs
fade away.
"such daybreaks always rouse in me the
urge of wider thought for the broad day of
the mind. Out of the limitless beyond comes
the certain knowledge of something I'M
imagined, lying just outside human thought.
"There is a wine of happiness in tranquil
"AAN"N
urges one to seek that which is beyond COM
prehension The draught exalts the soul and
uuickens it with unquenchable hre.
again, there is an amnesty in such daWns,
glory of release from the house OF bondage.
In the great silences life as we know 1t is re-
mote, and the immensely is magic that
draws the soul, fusing it in a strange passion
SO that whatever fulflment our existence
holds is summed in that hour of solitude.
This, if you please, is the rhapsody OF a
mystic. But all of us, il we would know
reality if we would achieve our highest posi-
biIities need to think and feel in some degree
as the mystics think and feel.
And not the least of the gifts that -excep-
tional dawns bestow on US is the mystic thrill
they send to us and through us. The most
matter-of-fact, the man dominantly OF the
market place, gains a saving sense OF the
verify of the spirit as he beholds Goo at WORK
in the making of such dawn.
/ Even in the cities the purifying, re-energiz-
ing inflow from dawns may be experienced to
some extent. But it is in the open spaces OF
the country or across the reaches OF the sea-,
with the wide horizon apprehensible, that
dawns have greatest power to heal, to
strengthen, to reconstruct.
So that the vacationist from the city cannot
too eagerly avail himself of the chance to use
his holiday dawns for the broadening OF ms
vision the charging Of his personality 10
miss this chance may mean to linger in modes
of thought where life is only half lived and
true success perpetually delayed and frus-
! trated

you have let dawn after dawn pass unheeded.

THE. AMERICAN ACADEMY in
ROME
RN Dr. Frank Crane

The American Academy in Rome is an or
ganization formed for the purpose OF Guilt
waiting American genius.
TT is based on the theory, which one hest
tates to put forward these days, that nation
needs Beauty as we'll as Utility, Taste as mucn
as Money, and Artists as we'll as BflcklayeIs
Advance in culture comes by folding mod
ernity back upon the antique. Ihe past Is hoC
a huge mistake, it is the greatest VI ndino
Each generation mounts higher by stanulns
unon the shoulders of the preceding genera

In all the world is no teacher like Rome.
It contains the wrecks OF three clVlllzatlonS.
1t is a museum OF dead ldeaS. IL 10 'ne
mother of civilization.
The American Academy in Rome, now cele-
brating it's twenty-ffth anniversary, is well
established and is backed by Americans OF
distinction.
1t is trying to raise million dollar 1unu
This will be invested in youth, IN genius anu
in obi1itv which are better than banks ana
oil wells.
Those who have money and are inclined to
encourage art would much better put their
money into the red blood OF aspiring youth
than into the gray stones OF museums
The Academy does not propose to help all
Students as we commonly understand the
meaning of the word. 1t helps those VINO

ton and technique; to these it offers the op-
portunity to become masters.

helped themselves; to encourage those who
have already demonstrated their powers; ana
this is the best charity.
No country in the world needs genius more
than the United States, and none neglects it
more.
We should make things easy for the artist.
It is good doubtless for the merchant to strug
gle with privation and fight his way through
poverty to success; but it is liable to extin-
guish the spark in the artist. He should be
removed from physical hardships and given
favorable environment
This the Academy aims to do. It sends
young artists of promise, who have demon
strated their caliber, to Rome, the best of all
artistic atmospheres.
1t is worthy of the support of all those that
have vision.

ReUtUtng River Commerce.

Il
er commerce in the United States was
impressively illustrated in the recent
arrival at New Orleans of one of the Gov
ernlnent punt towboats with steel barges
bearing big cargo from St. Louis Tn it's
comment on this beginning of a new freight
service between the two great cities, the
houston Post remarks that under railway
competition river traffic on the Mississinni
has been dwindling until in recent wears il
reached the lowest ebb in the history of
that waterway since civilization was intro
duced along its shores. The old time river
packet, which carried both freight and pas
sengers, is not likely to return but the
barge line offers one of the best means row
available. for expediting traffic. For the
movement of heavy freight, such as coal
gram, machinery, cotton and all other COM
modities shipped in bulk, the barge method
OF shipment is easy and cheap, and with the
present delays in rail traffic is perhaps the
quickest way of moving freight for long dis
tances.'
These observations, in the main, are true
OF the entire country. Transportation needs
have grown so much more rapidly than
transportation service, and industrial devel-
opment has struck so gigantic stride, that
every channel for moving freight must be
brought into use. Railroads must be i'm
proved and in some instances extended; high
ways must be built strong and far for motor
truck lines; and rivers must be turned again
to the great purpose which they served in
the earlier days of American commerce.
There will be ample traffic for all three if
the present rate of expansion continues
No part of the country has better reason
to be interested in river development, both
for navigation and for water power, than
the South Singularly rich in natural re-
sources of this kind, Georgia and her neigh
Dor States should look definitely to their
utilization. The Chattahoochee river between
Atlanta and Columbus, is capable of produc-
ing hydro-electric power sufficient to pro-
vide steady Industrial employment for up
wards of a million persons. Happily enough
the situation is such that the same system
of locks, dams and improvements needful to
make this latent power available would serve
also to render the stream permanently nav
igable. AS far back as 1916 Government in
vestigation showed that the towns and
cities adjacent. to the river had an aggregate
freight tonnage of approximately twelve and
half million, large part of which natural
ly would move by water if facilities were
provided. The counties in this zone produced
during the year in question more than half
a million bales of cotton. A number OF the
towns textile centers and supplypOints
for extensive areas. Qualified observers say
that the territory is already amply able to
support line of river transportation in adj
dition to railroads and highway feeders -
Plans for the Chattahoochees development
were being pressed vigorously forward be-
fore the war. If conditions were favorable
then, they are far more so now. Wherefore,
it is to be hoped that this sound enterprise
will not lack renewed initiative and sup

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON
PARASITIC SONS
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
BY DOROTHY DIX

Among my acquaintance is a fam
lily which consists of mother and
her three daughters and one son. The
girls are all in business, and every
Saturday night turn in their unopen.
ed pay envelopes to their mother.
That supports the family. There is
no other income.
The son, big, husky young fellow
with plenty of intelligence, who is
ten times as able to work as his sis
three times what either one of them
does, works only when the spirit
moves him. Which Is seldom.
He doesn't have to work. He doesn't
really need to because whether he
works or not, he is sure of three good
meals a day, better than his sisters
get, for mother saves up the tidblts
for him; a good place to sleep, and
little pocket money for which he can
always stand mother up.
The sisters are naturally very
much outraged at this state of af-
fairs, but when they protest against
it, and tell their mother that they do
loafer, even If he is their brother.
the mother turns upon them in fury
and demands to know what sort Of
stony hearts they have that they be-
grudge their poor brother a bite of
food and place to lay his head. Then
Su6 WeSpS anu says LtldL size WILL
never turn her own son out of her
house and shut her door in his face;
that as long as she has a crust she
will divide with him, and give him
her last penny.
So the scene ends, and when the
him up something extra to make up
for the way his mean sisters treat
him in not being willing to support
him. Then she gives him the last OF
the housekeeping money and runs an
account with the grocer, which the
girls will have to pay in the end.
And what are we going to do about
it?" inquire the girls. I'VE love our
mother and hate to hurt her, but we
feel that it is neither right nor just
for three frail, delicate women to
have to support an able-bodied man,
future because all Of their excess
earnings go to pay for his excuses"
Of course it is neither just nor
right either to the girls, or to the boy
for that matter, for their mother to
take their money to keep him in idle
ness, but how anybody is going to
get justice out of a woman where her
idolized son is concerned is a problem
far beyond my poor ability to solve.
Biologists tell us that mothers can
mot help loving their sons better than
their daughters and having a differ
ent feeling towards them. 1t has
something to do with boy inherit
ing more from his mother than his
father. Anyway, they say that 1t IS
fixed law of nature, and the
mothers cannot help it, poor things
since loving is not a matter of Volt
ton, but of some mysterious attrac-
ton that we can neither understand
nor explain.
Perhaps this accounts for the case
cited above, and q hundred similar
ones that each of us can recall, in
which mother who was good wom-
an, and really loved her daughters
dearly, nevertheless sacrificed them
without a pang of conjunction to
their brothers.

ton. But it is to be regretted that there is
so much as a syllable of such ill advised
talk. No discerning friend of any candidate
will countenanCe this reckless suggestion,
and assuredly no thoughtful friend of the
Democratic party will countenance it, In
deed, can imagine no swifter way to bring
a candidates cause into popular condemna-
ton and no surer way to undermine the
interests of the party itself than the rash
course which some of the stiCklers for Rule
Ten" are reported to be contemplating.
The State Democratic Convention soon to
meet, will be a sovereign body, answerable
only to the dictates of reason and fair
play. 1t will choose it's own officials, settle
its own contests, adopt it's own rules. Its
membership will be divided more closely
amongst the three candidates than was ever
perhaps the case in Georgia's entire politi
cal past. Whether the measure be counties
or county units, or popular votes the diff
ferences are exceedingly small. In these
circumstances, as The Journal sees it, the
fairest procedure would be to give each can
dldate such a proportion of the delegation
to San Francisco as he has county unit votes
in the State convention. Thus the cand-
date controlling the largest number of conn
ty units would haveS the largest number of
national delegates, and so on to the third
and last. In recommending this plan, The
journal can hardly be said to speak other
wise than impartially since the candidate
whom it supported in the late primary would
thus receive. the smallest allotment of dele
gates. In any event. however, it will be for
the State Convention ITSELF not for a sub
committee, to decide the course to be mr.
sued, and we have faith in the Convention,s
d1scernment to see and courage to do what
is just and right

Did you ever know Of a widow with

bulk of the fortune? Isn't it the boys
who go off to college and buy racing
cars, while the girls stay at home

not deny her darling sons anything,
but she can say mo" fast enough
to the daughters. Haven't you
known a mother to rob even an In
valid daughter of the last cent of
her inheritance to pay a scrape

often.

would think, would be peculiarly ten

Surely you would think that a
sacred trust, but it is not sacred to
mother if her boys are unprincipalled
enough to want it. She hands it over
to them without murmur. What
are the girls WEAKNESS to he if
they can pay for the boys good time?
What are the odds if the girls are
killing themselves earning money be-
hind stuffy counters, or in dark Of
fices, if the boys are fed with it,
and can take life easily?
OF course, mother doesn't put it
this way to herself. Sc says the boys
are hungry and must be fed. They
need money and must have it. But
the bald truth is, she is willing to
sacrifice the girls if necessary for
the boys comfort, for that is the
result of her taking her daughters
earnings to support worthless sons in
their loafing.
It. is a pity, that, mothers. can not

South America in the Garden.
|vV1HILE waiting for the rains to abate
NJ and the 'mushy soil to become work

w and the mushy soil to become work
able a philosophic gardener has
been hobnobbing with history on the origin
of the favorite vegetables which he and
thousands of other hope to harvest despite
cantankerous season. 1t is to South Amer
lea, he reports in an article in the New York
Sun and Herald, that we are chiefly in
debted There corn was first grown, some
where in the northern part of the continent,
or perhaps in Mexico. MonteZuma'S palace,
according to legend, consumed some seven
million bushels of the grain each year; and
Columbus in one of his letters, speaks of
having seen eighteen miles of cornfields.
From South America, too, sprang the sturdy
Irish as we'll as the delectable- sweet potato.
The former appears to have flourished in
Peru long before the Christian era. ''The
Spaniards found it in Ecuador" and took it
to Spain, whence it travelled to Italy and
north to France and Belgium, crossing the
channel in time to save Ireland from many
hard winter"
Particularly interesting is the story of the
tomato. When first grown in Peru this now
liberal and luscious bit of creation was a
mere midget of its destined self. even the
Inca never saw anything that approached the
glossy Gargantuas which bloom in red ink on
the pages of the seed books. Constant cross
ing by a thousand Burbanks of the various
kinds of small tomatoes has resulted in the
modern giants; but when the commuter
plucks the first three FOUNDER from his groan-
ing vine he should remember the PeruVlans
who kept it's ancestors alive and ambitious.
Though we commonly think of the Hub
bard squash as being native to New Eng
land as Bunker Hill ITSELF research shows
that ''its seeds have been found in the an
cient tOmbs near Lima" Red peppers famed
beneath the South American long ages
before they were taken into the graces Of
European cooks and doctors; and there like
wise the navy bean is supposed to have had
it's genesis Our gardens are debtors in
deed to versatile South America.
