THE PHILOLOG
By DR.. Frank Crane

The Philolog is the word lover.
He chases words as hunter stalks MS
game, as the gilded youth follows a pretty
face, as Sherlock Holmes traces cleW.
Why not? Is not word loVable IN IL
self Men love bugs, stars, canes, diamonds.
dogs, pipes and stamps. And is not Word
more than these?
word is a coral reef, beautiful crea-
ton of a thought-insect which often is dried
and shapeless and dead.
Some words are whelk shells, whence the
original idea occupant has long ago vanished
and some hermit crab idea craWled IN and
taken it's place. AS, for instance, ito let"
once meant to hinder and now means to per-
NIT.
The philolog is a poet. For every word
once was a poem, just as every bulk OF a
man was once a pretty baby.
The philolog is capable of great passion.
for no one can follow any science with the
devotion and energy it demands unless he
loves it much.
He is a musician, for he loves not CITY
the meaning, but the sounds of words.
He is painter, a sculptor, for he loves
the words color and body.
For him nothing is more admirable than
these little vocables that contain Within
themselves what history, what ancestry of
ideas!
He sees the hopes and fears, the enthusia.
asm, discoveries, superstitions, errors and
truth of lifetimes concentrated into an alpha
bette capsule.
Romance, reverence, vileness, holiness and
horror have left their footprints in the die
tionary. And to run through the pages Of
that book is as if one explored the ruined
temples of Karnak and Luxor or those for
saken shrines hidden in the tangled jungles
of Yucatan.
There are no dead languages; all tongues
live in the tongues that have issued from
them.
The philolog recognizes family traits To
one word he says, "How like your GRANDPA
ther!" and to another, -''You resemble so
much your mothers cousin!"
To speak we'll is to think well; to think
well is to act well; and since we are all to
be judged at last by our deeds, is not the
essential of life in the grammar?
The philolog has the best bird s-eye view Of
humanity.

<tY r E is the mouthpiece of progress and
the enemy of failure" says the
Monroe Advertiser, by way Of
characterizing that invaluable citizen, the
thoughtful booster"
1t is easier to destroy than to construct
easier to see obstacles than opportunities, and
the frailty instead of the fineness Of human
nature, easier to indulge in testy criticism
and selfish complaint than to encourage with
helpful suggestion and labor heartily with
others for the common veal in spite of their
deficiencies and irritations But the citizens
who count, like the friends worth while, are
they who cheerfully pursue the more difficult
course, not waiting till Utopia to do their bit
for the community, nor refusing to fraternize
because there Is no perfect man.
The members of the Continental Congress
and Of the Constitutional Convention from
which America derived political life and
character found one anothers ideas and plans
most exasperating at times, but they man
aged nevertheless to work loyalty together
for the republic in dark day Of peril and
chilling doubt; and because they were

greatest experiment in human freedom and
representative government, with the inesti-
mable boons thereof to all mankind, sue
ceeded instead of failing as the mere critics
predicted. 1t Is with tolerant, kindly, virile,
faithful spirits like these that the destiny Of
the mightiest nation and Of the smallest
township lies, and these it is who give SAVIOR
to an elsewise unsalted world.
Not the babbling optimist nor the amiable
weakling, but the facer Of facts who plays
his part trustfully despite all the laundering
and meanness of the game, is the good citi-
zen and the good sportsman. Few would find
human life supportable did they consider it's
cause for grief rather than it's summons to
action and it's sore need of light-bringers
But while the need and the challenge are
there who would hang back, or sulk, or idly
rail?

For1Oard With House Building

Wv vigorously, all things considered,
II Southern building goes forward is in
Dictated by the issuance of permits in
twenty-three cities of this region, during May,
for more than one thousand six hundred
frame dwellings and two hundred and twenty
five brick dwellings, apartment houses and
hotels. "In seventeen cities,'' notes the Man
ufacturers' Record, "the permits for frame
dwellings numbered thirteen hundred and
eighty, having a total valuation of five mil
mion nine hundred and fifty-seven thousand
four hundred and ninety dollars, thus giving
an average cost of such structures OF approx
imately four thousand three hundred ana sew
enteen dollars
This is a marked gain over the earlier part
Of the year, and forecasts larger volume OF
activity in the months ahead when the ad-
justment Of material and labor costs is COM
pleted. In the South, as elsewhere, much
building is required to make good the house
shortage resulting from curtailed operations
during the war years and also to take care
of subsequent growth. It was conservatively
reckoned few seasons ago that from three to
five million new dwellings were needed.
Several States and numbers of municipali-
ties have adopted special measures to encour-
age such construction. In Louisiana Consti-
tutional convention has recently authorized
cities Of forty thousand or more inhabitants
to exempt from taxation until January l,
1926 new homes up to an assessment Of four
thousand dollars thereby materially reduc
ing the owners expense during the years Of
his heaviest responsibility. What the COM
munity loses in taxes for a period, will be
counterbalanced many times, it is said, by Ia
ter returns from enhanced property values.
Whether this particular plan be we'll or i'll
advised in point Of theory, it is certain that
home building and home owning should be
encouraged by every soundly economic means
for nothing Of a material nature is more con-
ducive to thrift, prosperity and good citizen

Dorothy Dix Ta1ks-What Kind of a Mother Are You?


The head of the biggest locomotive
works in the country says that when he
is employing new man he looks
first at the mans mother. He doesn't so
much as glance at his father. Father
may be souse, a lazy loafer, shiftless
neer-do-well 1t doesn't matter. Mother
is the one who counts, and if she is a
hustling, thrifty, up-and-coming woman her
son gets the job, and nine times out of
ten he makes good at it.
It's mother who makes the man. A
time-old truth. Read history, and you
great mother. Look about you, and you
will see that every successful "self-made"
man who has risen from the bottom to
the top of the ladder is the son Of a
are-jawed, steelyeyed woman who had
backbone like a telephone post. There
is no record of the children Of baby dolls,
and butterfly women, ever getting any
where except to tea dance.
It's the mother who makes the man.
Not alone because nature has decreed
that sons shall inherit more strongly from
their mothers than from their fathers, but
because a mothers influence in mold1ng
her children's characters is bound to be
so much greater than fathers. During
their plastic years a mother is with her
children continuously. She forms their
habits. She directs their actions. She i'm
presses her principles upon them. She holds
her ideals before them. She makes them
what they are, just as surely as the potter
fashions the clay in his hands to whatever
form he wills.
There is no other one thing which
women try to dodge like they do the re-
sponsibility of motherhood. They try to
shift it on to heredity. They attempt to
evade it by simply refusing to accept 1t, and
by turning their children over to nurses and
governesses to be brought up, If they are
rich, or leaving them to grow up on the
streets, if they are poor.
They might as we'll try to dodge God
and His eternal justice as the responsibilities
of motherhood When He gives woman
children, he makes her accountable Tor
their fate, and she must answer to Him
for the sort of job she turns out. 1t isn't
a cheerful thought for Stacker mothers, but
it is one they will do we'll to ponder this
side Of the Judgment bar.
Probably there isn't a mother in the
world, no matter how weak and silly and
selfish she is, who doesn't want her chill
dren to grow up into being fine men and
women She wants more. She desires them
to be successful men and women, admired
and respected by their fellow creatures.
If mothers wishes were magic that could
summon fame and riches to baby's era
die by waving wand over it, there's never
a boy who wouldn't sit in the seats OF the
mighty or a girl who wouldn't walk IN SILK
attire.
But, alas, there are no fairy godmoth'
ers bearing miraculous gifts in these days
What we get, we must fight for, ana pay
for with blood and sweat, and there are
not many mothers who have the clear
sightedness to realize this, or the grit to DO
the Spartan mother act, and send their
children into the fray with the admon1-
