DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Ourse1ves and Others


martyr. When she has served her purpose
nobody wants her. The other brothers and
sisters say how dear and sweet, and unself-
ish she is to take care of mother and father,
but when mother and father die none OF
them want Martha to come and live with
them. The boys and girls whom Martha
educated and dressed by taking in sewing, or
teaching, or standing behind counter have
no place in their gay young lives for frowsy
old maid of whom they are ashamed.
For the curious thing is that nobody ever
appreciates the family martyr or has any
sense of gratitude towards her. Instead,
there is a sort of tradition that she enjoys
sacrificing herself, and that she doesn't care
for the normal plea.ures of existence, and
that she has some popularity about her that
makes her prefer the stringy ends of the
last years hats
OF course everybody loves poor dear Mar
tina, but they have sort of contempt for her,
too, the contempt that we all feel deep down
in our souls for those who let us impose
upon them, and who have not backbone
enough to stand up and fight for their
rights.
Martha may have given up her lover and
doomed herself to spinsterhood in order to
take care of her parents, but she is never
the "a Yorite child for all that. The children
that father and mother brag about are the
bold, strong, selfish ones who went off about
their own business of life. It's Tom who is
making fortune on the other side of the
world and Jane who is married rich and
lives a thousand miles away, and who only
comes home for pop-in call on her way to
and from Europe, or some fashionable winter
or summer resort, of whom father and moth
er boast. Not Martha They say Martha
never had any get-up-and-get, anyway Per-
haps she didn't, or she wouldn't be the fam
lily goat.
The reason Lunt Martha has no money
and has to be dependent in her old age is
because she spent it all on nephew and niece
while they were growing up, and needed
food, and clothes, and books and schooling.
Her pay envelope kept the wolf away from
their door, but that doesn't keep the young
sters from Looking down on her, and up to
Uncle Tom and Aunt Jane, who kept their
money for themselves and are now able to
flaunt around in motor cars and live in fine
houses.
The moral o. all of which seems to be
that our first duty is to ourselves and that
if we fail to look out for number one, we
have no right to complain because some
you when you do we'll for YOURSELF says
the proverb, nd this is just as true of ones
family as of the outside world.
Certainly unselfishness is just as often
vice as it is virtue, and we do best for
ourselves, as we'll our families, when we
steer middle course, when we help those
who n ed help but at the same time force
them to help themselves.
Certainly any woman who sacrifices her
whole life to her family deserves not to be
revered as a saint but pitied as an imbecile.

PROVERBS TO HEARTEN
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

TIME business world abounds in pessi-
mists just now. Don't listen to them.
They have already made far far too
much trouble.
Stick at your job, unmoved by their la
ments and dire predictions of worse to come.
By deed and by word take issue with them
Make it point to become missionary of
optimism.
You have every reason to do this Times
may be difficult. They are difficult. But
croaking will not make them any easier
Besides, this is not the first occasion the
anvil chorus resounded through the land.
Were the pessimists right on those earlier oc-
casions? Did the country go to the dogs?
You know perfectly we'll that it did not.
You know perfectly we'll that it is not going
to the dogs now.
Also you know that if we are passing
through period of adversely one of it's great
purposes is to teach us to be wiser in pros
perity than We hitherto have been.
That is always one Of the great purposes
of adversely. AS the prCverb makers of many
peoples have phrased it, summing up COM
munal wisdom born of centuries of observa-
ton and experience:
"Adversity, sage, useful guest; severe in
structor, but the best
HE that was never acquainted with ad-
versity has seen the world but one side'
There is no education like adversity.''
"Adversity is the parent of WISDOM
Only, of course, it is neither desirable nor
necessary to regard adversely as friend
whose departure should be deeply regretted.
To learn from adversely, then bid adversely
begone, is the sensible thing
And, as stated, pessimism will never rid us
Of adversely. Only optimism will-optimism
plus patient, persistent, resolute effort. Again
l call on the prOverb makers to bear witness:
He who does not tire, tires adversely"
Industry pays debts, but despair increases
them
"Prosperity's right hand is industry and
her left hand is frugality.''
patience and application will carry us
through
Every misfortune is to be subdued by pa
tience."
"The remedy for hard times is to have pa
tence.''
Remember, though, that it is Of the first
Importance to be patient and industrious
smilingly and hopefully, not dolefully or with
the resignation of one who stoically awaits an
impending doom. Fer:
"Without hope there is no energy"
Hope and strive is the way to thrive"
Hope of all passions most befriends us
here"
Hope is the pillar or the world"
Great hopes make great men,
Ponder these proverbs. Take them home
to yourself. Preach to others the inspiring
gospel they present in tabloid form.
1t is a gospel of sound doctrine-and never
more needed than when the skies of COM
MERGE and industry are the most heavily over
cast.

MATTER
By DR.. Frank Crane

ny LIE ldllh NldllC
The idea of the baseness of Matter is
a very old one.
1t turks in most of our minds, for it has
been inbred for many generations.
The fact is, however, that Matter is quite
as pure, holy and divine as Spirit. God
made them BOTH and what God hath made
call thou not common"
All early thought, whether in Greek phil
osophy or in the more ancient theories of
Egypt, India, and China, functioned in a
sort of scorn of material things
The Orient went so far as to den.- Matter
any existen e at all 1t is a maya-delusion.
And recent religious cults have rejuvenated
this old idea. What seems the newest sect
is the very oldest, revived.
The real New Thought, that is the newer
point of view, is that brought about by Mod
ern Science and the scientific method.
The old idea of law was sense of some
thing outside and above exacting compel
ling force upon what is inferior and beneath
The newer idea is that law is something
inherent in things.
The old idea had it's parallel and model in
the social system, which was a system of
caste The common people as dirt, as
Matter, and were to be guided and moulded
and ruled by their betters, the mobiles and
kings.
So the universe of the Middle Ages con-
sisted of the Earth, which was gross and
base, then the Sun and Moon, then the Stars
and finally the Ether, each successfully high
er and purer
Theology followed this model We are all
sinners. The earth is a wicked place. If
we are saved it is as Brands from the Burn
ing.
But science attacked the very foundations
of this scheme of thought. 1t is asserted
that there is no high, no low, in Nature. The
same law holds everywhere, shaping a tear
drop as it shapes sun.
The Earth is as pure" any other actual
body, for they are all made of the same stuff
as the spectrum shows.
The Earth is not the center of the uni
verse; it is in the suburbs; but the suburbs
are as good as any other place.
In other words, as a modern philosopher
writes, the mission of Science has been "to
substitute a democracy of individual facts
equal in rank for the feudal system of
classes of unequal rank.
We are awakening to realize that Goods
in His world" He is not above His world.
And He is working in the most infinitesimal
atom, as we'll as in the heaven of heavens.

place the Commemorative affairs on a sound
business basis. But surely means can be
devised to effect needful economies without
imperiling the all-important service of edu-
cation! Our solicitude for Tech extends to
every part of the University system and to
every other field of educational endeavor;
they all need far more substantial support
than they receive. But the case of Tech is en-
phasiZed because, while the appropriation for
others has been cut to the point of embarrass-
ment, for this school it has been cut to the
point of danger and to the verge of destruc-
tion Therefore, it is that we appeal to the
members of the General Assembly, as Geor-
gians who hold dear their States interests
and her honor high, to exhaust every re-
source to deal justly with all educational
concerns, and particularly to save the Tech
from threatened disaster.

GET OUT OF DOORS-By Frederic J.. Haskn

onal forest of the same name. Olympic
elk, once almost extinct but now protected
and increasing, may be shot-with camera
in the Olympic Forest in Washington
state. Game trout abound in the streams of
most of the forests. Deer, bear, elk, grouse,
and other wild game are to be found in the
various forests and may be hunted under
state game laws.
In the Suiattle River Forest in Washing
ton the full-blood Indians of the Suiattle
river tribe never fail to interest campers,
while in the East, the White Mountains boast
of their Lakes of the Clouds, 5000 feet
above the sea, and their waterfalls, and the
famous Old Man of the Mountains cut by
nature in the side of the cliff.
The West Gets the Crowds
OF them all, the forests in Colorado and
California are the most popular as vacation
retreats. million people visit the Colorado
forests, and 100000 the California forests
every year. In the East the White Mountain
Forest is probably the best known
The caste. forests have to be conducted
along somewhat different lines from the
more extensive western Fairgrounds. In
three of them public camping grounds have
been carefully surveyed and designated. No
one may lease lot in them because If mo-
nopolies were granted, few people would
quickly take up all the land. These three
forests, the Pisgah, in North Carolina; the
Wichita Forest and Game Preserve in Okla
homa, and the White Mountain Forest in
Maine and New Hampshire are being used by
picnic parties, for Boy Scout and noun
taineers' camps, and by campers who are per-
nlitted to stop for several weeks without
charge. Hotels and inns located at pic
turesque spots help to make the forests &C
cessible for people who cannot conveniently
pitch camp.
The Forest Service, with the help of all
those who use the national forests, is pro-
tecting and managing them so that the
American people can have woodland play
grounds for generations to come
-Four million dollars year for the last
three years have been appropriated by con-
gress for roads through the national forests
and the states using the fund are required to
put up equal sum. Over IL, 0G0, 900 trout
fry are put into the streams and lakes of Col
orado alone every year. Hare animals and
birds are protected against hunting. Timber
nurseries are maintained by the Forest Serv-
ice and millions of young trees-2, 900, 900
for Washington and Oregon alone-are set
out in the forests every year to replace losses
by and trees cut for timber.
Red tape is eliminated as much as possible
in issuing leases and permits. In return,
that is asned of the camper or autost is that
he be careful with his camp fires, put out or
report any fire that he may find, and leave his
camp ground clean and neat with all trash
and refuse burned or buried.
