DOROTHY DIX TALKS The Troubles of the Good
1

And, fool that you are, because you have
been idiotic to acquire this reputation, you
lack the nerve to shut your door in their
faces. So they come, and stay, and stay, and
stay and upset all your plans and take up
all your tine, and crowd you out of your
bed and run you into debt with the butcher
and grocer, and they take it all as no more
thar your duty.
They have no gratitude nor appreciation for
what you have done for them. They do not
remember the hundreds of dollars they have
sponged out of you that they would have had
to spend on hotel bills, if they had paid their
way But let some rich friend or acquaint-
ance invite them to tea, and give them a
bread and butter sandwich, and they talk
their tongues off about it.
Same way about lending. You are human
and kind. If you are man, you would like
! to lend your car to a friend now and them
or If you are woman, you would like to lend
a pretty wrap, or an ornament to some girl,
but you dare not do it. For we'll you know, if
you once gain the reputation of being lend
| er, you would never have any use of your
property Nor would you have the property
long, because people who borrow never take
the slightest care of the thing they have Dor
rOWed.
| 1T is equally as disastrous to get the repu-
tation of being a good wife and mother of the
patient, self-sacrificing brand. You know
| the kind of woman who is the heroine of
heart interest novels and plays; the kind of
| woman who is the theme of the home and
| mother sob songs; the kind of woman who
works her fingers to the bone for her fam
! lily, and eats the back of the chicken, and
wears the cast-off clothing Of her daughters,
and who stays put, and keeps the home fires
! burning while all the balance of the family
are off having a good time.
You would think that her husband and
children would worship her on their knees
I and that they never could thank her and
| love her enough for all her sacrifices, and
labor for them. But do they? Not so that
| you can notice it. They actually believe that
mother enjoys being martyr, and that she
has some curious taste that makes her prefer
stringy chops to tender ones, and that she
| doesn't care a thing for clothes or going
about, or want any livelier amusement than
| just being a model wife and mother. The
wives and mothers who are appreciated are
the ones that take the best of everything fol
themselves, and occasionally condescend tc
bestow a little of it on the balance Of the
| family.
| All of which teaches us that virtue is Its
own reward-and it's only reward.

there claims to have killed a running jack
rabbit with pistol at half miles distance

knows, but real big leaguers ike this fellow

We'll say that he is batting above 1000 per

BERNARD SHAW ON SAFETY
By DR.. Frank Crane

Behind Bernard Shaw's humor there Is lot
of sense.
In fact, it may be doubted whether anybody
who has no sense of humor can really pen
citrate to the secret of common sense.
Most of the stupid world is content to bask
in stolid contemplation of platitudes.
In recent article Shaw discusses the ques-
ton of National Safety.
He gives signs of almost perceivng the mon
umental folly of trying to make a nation safe
by preparedness, which is a part of the great
delusion that anybody or anything can be made
safe by Force.
(The Truth being that the only safety is
Justice, Cooperation, and Faith, since these run
down to the coSmic laws that control the uni
verse.)
First, he takes up the theory that Great
Britain's safety lies in her naval supremacy
This means, in plain English, he says, that
"there can be no security for the British Empire
until the American fleet has followed the Ger
man fleet to the bottom of the sea. The Jap
aneSe fleet will no doubt be happy to assist
in the operation, but, as there can be no Sc
! curity for Australia while the Japanese fleet
| exists, it, too, must perish subsequently. Thus
our western program, beginning with Ireland,
includes two firSt-rate wars within the next
twenty years.
Even then Great Britain will not be safe
France also must be reduced
"But what about the Easern program? 1t is
clearly out of the question that France, now
once more up to her eyes in military glory,
should be allowed to maintain formidable
naval armament and range of fortified harbors
within gunShot of our shores, actually nearer
than Ireland. How can we sleep in security
under such circumstances? We must sink the
French fleet with Germany'S assistance"
And after rendering America, Japan, and
France powerless, there will still remain a
menace to the Empires security.
"There is also the question of security at
home. We have among us large numbers of
disabled soldiers, demoralized and Injured to
violence and destruction by war. We have
Sim FeinerS, direct actioniStS of the Extreme
Left, shell-shocked lunatics, and the usual per-
centage of criminals Our lives are not secure
under such circumstances.
ITO make the country secure, it is necessary
that every person shall be handcuffed and not
allowed to leave the house without a passport,
and then only at hours lmied by the curfew,
on pain of being shot at sight"
Shaw proceeds to declare that the keynote
of Lloyd Georges policy is security and adds:
81 have done without security all my life,
and l have never had less of it than when all
the towards in Europe were fighting for Sc
curity. know that security is impossible and
that nobody but hopeless idiot or a person
condemned to Parliament for the term of his
natural life (much the same thing) could for
one moment believe it to be possible"

The Qu;11;an Lectures, 1921

ffO ONE books" said Lord Bacon, "are
to be tasted, others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed and d.
gested.' To this rare variety belong
the Quillian Lectures for 1921, being a
series of rich and trench ant discourses by
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, delivered last
May before the faculty and students Of the
school of liberal arts of Emory University. on
1.-THE Kingdom of Gods Dear Son.;
1t was in the spring OF 1897 that the Ia
mented DR.. William F. Quillian offered En-
DRY College gratefully accepted donation
on which was founded the lectureship that
bears his name. Later gifts, from his neph-
ew, Professor Marvin G. Quillian, and from
other interested friends, have been received;
while from time to time the sum IS increased
by the income from the published lectures, of
which these "! Bishop Gambler make up the
fourth and latest Of the series. When from
all such sources the foundation shall have &C
quired a principal amounting to twenty-five
thousand dollars, the profits thereafter &C
cruing from the lectures will go to the gen
eral endowment of Emory College.
Something of the scope and design of the
present volume may be gathered from the
titles of it's seven chapters. '"Too many

Put Do1o,, This Lav7essness
r AWLESSNESS along the right Of way
of the Atlanta Rirmin CHAM and At

OF the Atlanta, birmingham ana AT
lantc railroad has grown to be
grave challenge to the power CT the Common
wealth and a serious menace to public Sc
curity. There have been committed in the
last five months, according to the records OF
the road, thirty-two distinct acts of imme-
date or potential violence, any one of which
might have resulted in destruction of prop
erty, if not loss of human life. Spikes have
been driven between railjoints, distractions
laid across tracks, switches tempered with,
trestles burned; and in repeated instances
dynamite has been placed in the way Of on
coming trains. Fortunately, there have been
few casualties thus far and not a large
amount of wreckage, although on Friday
last charge of dynamite, struck near Mus
selwhite, derailed and turned over eight cars,
four Of which were loaded with live stock, and
inflicted othel considerable damage. But if
such vandalism continues, who can say what
it's tragic consequence will be?
The law-abidng, highly-reputed towns and
counties along the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic owe it to themselves to take this
matter resolutely in hand, employing what
ever means may be needful to detect the gull
ty and bring them to unsparing justice. Sew
eral communities have offered rewards to
this end; all will do well to do so, and furth-
ermore to muster the utmost pressure of an
aroused public sentiment against the enemies
of good order and potential slayers of men.
The state authorities, likewise, should exert
their power.
The strike on this railroad since early
March has given rise, of course, to a certain
amount of confusion and i'll feeling. But no
sane man, certainly no good citizen, whether
a striker, a strike-breaker, or whatnot, would
turn anarchist and hazard innocent human
lives. These acts of violence therefore, must
be set down to individuals who have no claim
to any organizations sympathy and no title
to public tolerance. They are foes Of the
community, foes of the commonwealth, and
must be suppressed

THERE is nothing that is a greater
misfortune for a person to have than
a bad reputation, except good one


If you have a bad reputation everybody
talks about you. If you have good repu-
taton, everybody does you. People may
scandalize you if you have a bad reputation,
but if YOU have a good reputation everybody
victimizes you. The reason the Bible tells
us to do good by stealth and not to let our
right know what our left hand doeth, is to
put us wise to the danger we run if we ever
get known as generous, or hospltable, or
good scout.
Probably the reason there are SO many
hard boiled eggs in the world is because, il
you give any Indication of being soft, you
are Immediately squashed all over the place.
We can't be a little liberal, a little helpful
little neighborly and let it go at that. Once
you establish a reputation along those lines,
you become shining mark for every CRATER
and dead beat who hears of you.
Take the matter Of giving, for instance
Everybody who has ever tried helping peo-
pie knows that once you give to an individual
you. are never done giving to him her.
Right then and there you acquire a perma-
nent liability, for the recipient seems to think
that you are sort of checking account In
bank that he or she can draw on at pleasure
Nor are these parasites grateful \ On the
contrary, they seem to think that they are
doing you a real favor in giving you chance
to exercise your philanthropic gifts, for they
always begin their touch by saying: tI know
how generous you and that you will be
glad to contribute towards buying me linn
CUISINE or that you will be delighted to send
me box or champagne, or SEND my llttle
Willie to Harvard" or whatever it is they
want.
You may pay the rent for family, and
| foot their grocery and coal bill for ten years
regularly, AMI they will take it matter
of course, and feel hard towards you because
you don't do more, if you have the fatal rep
utation for being kind and benevolent, and
then they will have fits of gratitude over a
! fifty-cent present that some tight-fisted indi-
vidual sends them. Funny thing, but haven't
you seen it a thousand times?
| Same way about hospitality. Get reputa-
| ton for being hospitable, and you run a
| free hotel from then on until you are eaten
out of house and home. Ask relative to
come and spend the day, and he or she stays
| for months. People whom you scarcely know
| descend upon you, bag and baggage, at the
| most inopportune times.
Every mail brings you letters from self
invited guests who are passing your way, and
want to stop off in your city for few days,
| or who have been ordered to the country for
quiet and fresh air, and who, knowing how
hospitable you are, feel sure that you would
like to have them come and make you little
visit.

Question of Teaching

Whether children learn better from writ
ten texts or oral lectures, is question under
investigation in the schools of Paris.
A technical committee Of the League OF
Mental Hygiene has set to work in a boys
school to study the processes of teaching and
learning
Pedagogical experts assert that some per-
sons brains receive deeper impressions by
the sense of hearing and others by the sense
of sight. The committee purposes to seek
some method of education that will take adj
vantage of these faculties and possibly, also,
try to find some way to develop the pupils
receptiveness
Another question is the desirabiity of the
developing either the hearing or sight sense,
when found particularly keen in pupil or
whether it would be better to develop the dor
mant faculty, in an effort to attain certain
standard of keenness in both sight and hear
ing in all pupils SO they might all be taught
by the same method.

Tri-Weekly News Flashes From All Over

Whiskey Rings

A special anti-bootlegging force, sent to
New York by the department of internal reve-
nue., has found evidence of three big sepa-
rate whisky rings, operating in the belief
that they are "grandly immune to the law"
says statement made public by Howard r.
Kircack, head of the force.
So far, Mr.. Kircack said, the investigators
have uncovered evidence which they consider
sufficient to cause indictment of about 100
alleged bootleggers. A check of liquor per-
mits now being made indicates that many
more dealers in liquor will fall into the net,
he declared. The Investigators have ex-
amined about half of the $500 books of class
B permits issued to wholesalers there, he said,
and have found indications of fraud in 80
per cent of them.
Mr.. Kircack declared he expected to see
persons high in the business and social life
of New York, and high and low officials,
past and present. implicated in liquor frauds
before the investigation was completed.

ChOkeS Bear

Chase S. Osborn, former governor OF Mlchi-
gan, was receiving congratulations on the
success of his fortieth bear hunt The ami
NAL one of the smallest bears the former
governor has captured, was choked to death
by Mr. Osborn off his summer home on DUCK
Island, in St. Mary's river, after twenty
minute battle.
Mr. Osborn sighted the bear from the shore,
and went out alone in a rowboat to meet 1t.
He tried shot with his pistol, but the wea-
pom jammed and as the animal attacked the
boat, the former governor swung at It with
woodsman's axe Several times the bear
was half over the side of the boat and threat
ened to overturn it.
A we'll directed blow from the axe, how
ever, caught the animal alongside the neao:
1t was hanging over the side of the boat
in a dazed condition when Mr.. Osborn drop

ing it to death.

Hungary will appear at the meeting of the
Assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva
next month and ask for admission, says the
correspondent in outlining the alleged plan.
In the event this appeal is granted the Hum

the government would call for an election in
which the dynastic question would be the
principal issue. 1t is assumed by the Royal
lists that they would be victorious, and that
the election would be followed by call to
Charles to take the Hungarian throne.
