hospitals which receive special APP
preparations from the State in aid to
their charitable work and those who
have been licensed as Maternity Hos
pitfalls. SO in number. 20 State aided
and 33 licensed show that 10 of them
are managed by charitable corpora
tons. six by business corporations
with an authorized capital stock,

firm, and IS by individuals. OF the
% receiving State aid. all are under
the management of charitable cor
pora tons except one.
Executives Officers in Charge
In eight out of the SO hospitals, the
superintendent are physicians, in 3S
of the hospitals the superintendent
are graduate nurses leaving u in
which the superintendent has no
professional training. In three of
the latter. however, the superinten-
dent is sister of charity with long
experience in hospital work and in
two of these one or more graduate
nurses are employed. These three
are among the number receiving
special appropriations from the
State. Among the other hospitals re-
ceiving special appropriations, the
superintendent in two cases are
physicians and in the remaining IS
registered nurses. One of the latter,

three employ attendants in addition
to their graduate and undergraduate
nurses. Nine of the hospitals are in
charge of persons without profess
siOnal training of such a character
that they could be registered either
as a physician or as a nurse. All OF
these are in the licensed maternity
hospital class.

seven occupy brick buildings: one
occupies a building of brick and
stone; three occupy buildings of
brick and wood and the remaining ~
buildings are of wood. The number
of floors occupied for hospital pur-

The Turco-Greek Tug

~ ING CONSTANTINE'S paean over the
r. fall of the Turk now appears to have
- N been a bit premature. A fortnight or SO
ago, as Athens reported it, the Greek forces III
Asia Minor were moving swiftly in the dlrec-
ton of Angora, the Turkish nationalist capt.
tai, with high assurance of winning this their
! chief objective. But now, according to ad-
vices which, though coming by way OF Con-
stantinople, are taken as true, the Greeks
have suffered a serious reverse along the
Sakaria river, in the path OF their contl-
dent advance.
The right wing of their army, says a
French correspondent, has been cut off from
the main body, the enemy having taken the
offensive and driven them across the river,
with the capture of prisoners and guns. 10
what extent Mustapha Renal can follow up
this advantage is yet to be seen. His COM
mand numbers hardly fifty thousand troops,
and those put meagerly equipped, Che
Greeks say Alright; but he at least has put
his adversaries on the defensive, brought
their line of communication into jeopardy,
and Silence0 for the nonce King Constan-
tines exultation.
Upon this tug between Greek and Ottoman
the European Powers have looked with I'M
easy passiveness calling it the "private war
and declining to take sides. The drift OF
popular sympathy has been with the Hellenes,
partly from traditions and partly from wish
to see Turkish opportunity for persecution
cut to the barest minimum; indeed, there is a
undermining belief that whatever befalls the
Seljuk Turk, he will be receiving no more
than historic justice.
At the same time there is a suspicion that
Constantine, after his tortuous and graceless
role in the World War, may be engineering
the present adventure in hopes of repairing
his broken prestige And if that suspicion be
true, those entertaining it argue we'll that
this is a poor time for the play Of royalist
ambitions. Greece, by all rights and all pro-
prieties, ought to be republic; as such she
would have few censures upon efforts to re-
cover from the Turk territory that is tradf-
tionally hers.

tainment of the cowboys. 1t was during the
brief but lurid career of these cow-towns
that the romantic tradition of the wild, re-
volver shooting cowpuncher, who has filled
SO much space in the magazines and popular
novels, was established From the literature
of the subject one would imagine that the
whole west was a carnival of gun play. AS
matter of fact, the wild and woody stuff
was mostly confined to these few towns and
lasted only a few years. The cattlemen of
the whole west converged upon these towns,
sold their stock and set out to spend their
money. The result was inevitable. You can
get it anywhere turning loose large num-
Der of men with money to spend, whisky to
drink and no wives to make them behave.
Every dance ended in a gun fight. Men rode
their horses into dance halls and saloons and
and shot out the lights. Professional DULLES
went about challenging each other to battles
to the death. Life was violent and spec
tacular third rate movie.
The Long Drives
Besides the cow-toWns, the other great
market for beef was the Indian reservations.
The government by that time Gin the seven
ties) had rounded up most of the Indians and
put them on reservations, and whisky and
consumption had not yet reduced their num-
bers greatly. Hence Uncle Sam had thou
sands of Indians to feed, and he fed them
largely on beef. Probably the longest cattle
drives and the most profitable ones were
made from the southern ranges to the Indian
reservations in Montana and the Dakotas.
Some cattlemen with political pull would get
a contract to deliver a certain number Of
three-year-old beef steers at a point in Mon
tana on certain day. He would organize
trail outfit, go down into Texas or Mexico
where cattle were cheap, buy his steers, and
drive them half the length Of the continent
1t was in these long drives that the skill of
the cowman was seen at its best. Rivers had
to be forded, Indians fought, buffalo herds
kept away from the cattle, stampedes check
ed. The cowboy on these drives was no
loose and drunken fellow, flourishing gun.
He was the skillful custodian of valuable
property.
OF course, the old days Of the long trail
will never come back. There are thousand
fences across it, But the passing of the cow
boy theme has been little over-written.
There is still thousands of men who can
throw a rope and hog-tie a steer as we'll as
ever it was done. The western cowman still
knows how to drive cattle long distances and
get them to the market in good condition,
too. Unless freight rates drop there will
probably be many long drives in the next few
wears.

GEORGIA S HOG and Hon1;,,u

II
poets unite in the report from Moultrie
that South Georgia has at least twenty
five per cent more porkers this autumn than
last. The increase is ascribed largely to
fore-sighted farmers who, instead Of hazard
ing time and labor in a crop which the boil
Weevil was certain to aSsail and tickle mar
kets likely to betray, turned prudently to the
production of food staples.
For many such there no need of the
warning in the late reverses of cotton; years
ago they learned how much better it is to
diversity and build up the land by well-bal-
anced agriculture than to stake all on sim
gle crop which drains the soil to 1mpoVer-
ishment But there were many more 20
whom the unhappy experiences of the past
twevemonth came as an arousing revelation.
Seeing the misfortune which befell thousands
and the calamity which came to some from
having trusted too largely in cotton, these
farmers turned the lesson to good account.
They wrought with an eye to crib and smoke
house, determining that whatever bechanced
they would be Independent in the matter OF
food supplies. They availed themselves OF
scientific and business counsel, planting with
regard to the nature and quality of their
particular fields and to the markets Of their
region.
The results are seen but partly in the In
creased output of grain, forage and FOOD
animals. Most important are the steady SELL
reliance which the production and possession
of these stores begets, the sounder system or
business as we'll as of agriculture which they
make possible, and the prosperity that will
ensue. Many man and many community
will pass from a credit to cash basis as
this sort of farming progresses; many re-
source that has lain neglected will be turned
to goodly account. So widely is Georgia
welfare bound up in this distinguished
from one-crop agriculture, that every in
fiuence of the States forward-thinking forces
should be mustered to the encouragement Of
the hog-and-hominy producer.

Ho1O Congress Has RESPONDED
TOUCHING the prerequisites to "a re-

vival of business activity President
Harding, in his message to Congress
last April, laid prime emphasis upon "a
prompt and thoroughgoing revision of the
internal tax laws The country applauded
his counsel and looked to the Republican
majority to translate it without undue delay
into measures of substantial relief There is
no good reason why that hope should have
been disappointed. Both the House and the
Senate were beyond challenge under control
of the Administration party. The breach
between the executive and the legislative
functions, which had proved so grave a
hindrance in the preceding Congress, was
closed. Power was unified, opportunity
clear, responsibility fixed. Could circum-
stances have been more favorable to action?
But by way of fulfillment and relief, what
has the country received? With two-thirds
of the year gone and with Federal tax bur-
dens pressing hard upon business and peo-
pie alike, the Republican majority is lit
tie nearer carrying out the Presi-
1ents advice than when he first ut
tered it. Instead Of promptness there has
been dawdling; instead of faithful and fruit
full stewardship, there have been pettifogging
and evasion. After months of such Stacking,
in which other urgent matters have Jared az
i'll as tax revision the Party in Power, ia
tigued by it's own inaneness, takes vacation.
Zone might think" remarks the New York
World, "that an economic situation in the
United States in which there are millions Of
men out of work might appeal to the Sen
ate and the House to be an incentive to ac-
ton. The only form the appeal takes. how
ever, is an Indictment to Congress to quit
work and join the rest Of the unemployed,
the difference being that Senators and Rep
resentatives draw pay for loafing."
Such is the response to President Hard
ing's good counsel; such is the efficiency of
the "Party of Business" such the reward Of
those who turned their back on Wilson and
Democracy.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-THE IFFERS
BY DOROTHY DIX

Millionaire Row. The poor boy who stays a
poor boy in this country would merely have
been a rich mans son if he had been born
on Easy Street.
We deude ourselves when we believe that
we would be successful, or famous, or
wealthy if circumstances we're altered. If it
is in us to achieve, we alter the circum-
stances ourselves. The weakness that makes
us fail at one thing would make us fail at
another for the price of success is the same
at every counter. You must pay for it with
endless labor, with self-control, with grit and
patience and endurance, with everything of
brain and Drawn, and heart that is in you.
That is the only legal tender that the high
gods recognize, and when you pass that out
they give you back in exchange whatever you
ask Of them. And there is no IF about it.
And if you have not these qualities, il you
are lazy and shiftes, and a gutter, and
afraid of hard work, and if you are high-tem-
pered and selfish and irritable, and hard to
get along with, you will fail. You have not
the price of success. There is no IF about
that either.
In reality, our success in life depends al
most wholly upon ourselves. Nobody can
help us much. What we have we must 60
get for ourselves. A rich and benevolent
philanthropist can make us pensioners upon
his bounty, or open a door for us occasion
ally, but that is about all. The balance we
must do for ourselves.
The men and women who occupy the
seats Of the mighty did not wait for some
one to come along and boost them into high
places. Edison didn't say he thought he
would like to invent something If someone
would come along and send him to the In
stitute of Technology. The Schwabs and
| Rockefellers and Carnegies didn't feel that
they might make a fortune If some one
would put them into a good business. The
! famous writers didn't wait for leisure and
quiet and perfect conditions before putting
pen to paper, and they didn't depend or
some stranger getting what they wrote into
magazines. They all rolled up their sleeves
and went to work to get for themselves the
thing they desired. There was no If tt
their programs.
So if you are getting to be an IFFER
don't. Cut it out. Quit making excuses tc
yourself. Buck UP and do things instead OF
camouflaging your failure. If is the brand
of weakness, of cowardice. 1t is the hal
mark of the Stacker. 1t is the confession
| that you have not the strength to stanC
alone and do a mans or a woman's part in
the world. Don't make it. Eliminate If
from your vocabulary, and achieve things
instead of explaining to others why you
| failed
| Don't be an IFFER!
