 Early in March, giving three days to the tour, the senior class in civil engi- neering from the Alabama Polytechnic institute will visit the city for the pur- pose of making a concentrated study of all lines in which they are interested.
 The trip will be under the direction of Jchn H. Callan, professor of civil engi. neerlng. A letter has been received by Charles l.. Harold, secretary of the Civic Association, asking the assistance of that body in conducting the party
 This will be an excellent opportunity for these young fellows" said Mir. Harold yesterday, and I am going to see to it personally that every attention will be given them.
 ''Mr. Callan has written that he knows very little of this great industrial cen ter, and his students are vitally inter- ested III such things as the office build ings, their structure, materials used i'll them and the actual performance of the work itself.
 They want to look at the bridges, fac tories, roads, in fact, everything into and l know of no place in the country where they could find better subject mat ter to work on.
 They are interested also in apartment buildings there are two here under con struction which are ideal for their pur- poses. They are the Norwood Court and Dulion apartments, which combine, l think, all the features such a structure could get into it.
 And. while renarking such tours as this should be encouraged in the schools and universities. It goes for better citl- zenship, as we'll as increased Knowledge. Georgia Tech class was here last spring"

Tc the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Your paper frequently has letters from people stating what should be done about crops, what should be done about park ing automobiles and many unnecessary subjects.
 think this an opportune time to let the people know what Hon. Thomas Bar rett, Jr., accomplished for this city. He put over the building of the levee on the Savannah river at cost that was comparatively small considering the ease of mind and the saving of lives. money and damage to property in the last few years.
 Several days ago when the river was rising rapidly had several people call me up to see if they could be protected by flood insurance. informed then, that same could be done. but what was the use of worrying, and spending extra money, as the best protection against floods was the levee that had been built during MT. Barrett's administration as mayor of our city This levee has been fully tested in the last flood, the river going over & feet and but few people giving much concern. think the entire county of Richmond owes MT. Barrett a debt of gratitude for this improvement alone.
 May he be with us for many years and help to put over many other things that will give Augusta prominent place in the eyes of the entire world. Aurusta Ca Eabruarv 16 1921

ULTIMATE TRIUMPH OF LEAGUE

beNeYe m the eventual triumph Of the League of Nations in America, the defeat is only temporary. The full strength behind the league has not yet asserted itself, but 1t will be asserted with renewed vigor in the not distant future. Soon the confusion and partis- anship engendered by politics will pass away and the voice of the great citi- zenry of America will be heard in re- verberating tones. Then will be the great awakening for the American peo- pie who, in their hearts, favor the league and are in truth behind its great chamipon and defender, Woodrow Will son. the truly great American whose place in history will be secure.

Dorothy Dix TALES
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds highest Paid Woman Writer.
Domesticitx on the HaIf Shell.

Domesticity on the Half She'll.
A young business woman asks this
question:
IF the woman works after mar
riage, has the couple as good chance
for happiness as if the wife gave up
her business and became a purely
domestic woman?'
I think that the answer to that ques-
ton depends entirely on two things.
First, on the amount of the family
income. Secondly, on the caliber of
the man.
/ The very bedrock on which happi-
ness of every marriage is founded is
the dollar. No matter how much
people love each other, no matter how
congenial they are, no matter what
soul mates they are, they will be ut
terly miserab BILE together unless they
have an income on which they can
live comfortably, and in the way in
which they have been accustomed to
live.
All of this b1athering of poets, and
novelists, about couple of young
paupers getting married, and living
blissfully ever after on kisses, and
romantic illusions, is a pack of lies.
Married people are just as hungry as
single people. They have to have just
as many clothes. They desire to be
amused just as greatly, ana they re-
ouire more money because there is
generally not only two of them, but
three or four, or a dozen to be sup
ported.
Nobody can be happy, or satisfied,
when they are tormented with anxiety
about where the next meal is to come
from, and there is no calmness and
peace in a household where the wolf
is bowling at the door, and the bill
collectors camping on the step.
The girl who gives up a good job
to marry a man who cannot support
her in decent comfort is not happy,
nor does she make fsoothing and
comfortable wife. She would be more
than mortal if, as she looked at her
shabby clothes, and work-hardened
hands, and t1od her monotonous
round of cooking. and washing and
scrubbing, she didn't think regretful-
" of the days when her fat pay en-
ve1ope enabled her to dress well, and
indulge herself in theaters and con-
certs.
And the man struggling his best to
support a family on a shoestring in
come is no happier than his wife, and
Joins the chorus of knockers who de-
clare marriage a failure.
In the case where man makes a
small salary, it seems to me that the
couple have a thousand times more
chance of happiness. if the. woman
continues in business after marriage,
and adds her income to his, thereby
securing to both of them the mental
and physical well-beihg consequent
from having enough money to live on
comfortably, and lay up something for
the rainy day.
OF course, these arguments about
the woman working after marriage do
not apply to the cases in which the
man makes a generous income. Then
it is d question: altogether of the at
tHude of the two contracting parties.
