WOMEN CIGARETTE SMOKERS

WOMEN CIGARETTE SMOKERS
Dean Joseph French Johnson If
New York has declared unequivocally
for pipes for women. He suggests
that they use nice clean clay pipes
OF course, Dr. Johnson does not
privately believe in women smoking.
We imagine that his declaration was
made for the purpose of shaming the
weed habit in our cities.
1t is amazing how many women
smoke ciragettes these days. Ten
years ago the woman who was seen
with coffin nail" between her lips
was regarded as a great curiosity.
Today you can go into the dining
room of almost any of the swell
hotels in the large cities and find one
to half dozen smartly dressed fash
ionable ladies nonchalantly putting
away at their cigarettes.
We believe in women's rights and
full freedom for them in everything
But somehow the smoking business
goes against our grain. Perhaps it
was because our mother didn't smoke.
And we hope our wife will never
take up the habit.
One of the great sculptors OF the
olden days made statue Of Il woman
holding a baby to her bosom and
looking down at it's sleeping face. 1t
was wonderful picture of mother
love and the generations of men that
have gazed on that statue and paint
ing of it have adored it and Wept
over it, because men are only the
sons of mothers. Not long ago, when
we began to hear about women smck-
ers, a tiippant newspaper artist took
one OF the pictures of that statue ana
simply penciled cigarette into the
mothers mouth.
What transformation ii was, my
masters!

Spots On Sun Play
Havoc With Wires
Beautiful Northern Lights Snarl Up
The Telegraph Lines.

Blazing green, white and red stream
ers in shower formation across the
heavens caused the worst and most
general tie-up OF telegraph and tele-
phone communication ever known
from a like cause throughout the coun-
try.
The aurora borealis, or northern
lights, was caused by spots on the
sun which were discernible in South
America, according to cablegrans
from observatories there.
The spot or group of spots on the
face OF the sun, estimated by naval
observatory officials at $4,000 miles in
length and $1,000 miles wide, caused
the remarkable demonstration of col
or streaks in the sky when they were
nearest the earth, through rotation of
the sun. The rotation Of the sun like
wise caused the spots to get further
away from the earth, thus ending the
disturbance to Geographic communi-
cation
The theory that the aurora boreais
or northern lights, which send earth
currents" through Geographic wires,
interrupting communication, result
from sun spots was advanced by DR..
John A. Brashear, the late Pittsburg
(Pa.) astronomer.

signed me as county superintendent
of schools | beg to hand you report
OF the school operations OF Terrell
county for the year 1920.
Fifteen white schools were operated
during the year with an enrolment
of 978 for primary and elementary
grades and 267 for the high school
grades. Total enrolment OF whites
was 1.245 with an average attendance
OF 740. Forty-one white teachers were
employed.
Thirty-six colored schools were
operated during the year with an en-
rolment of 3,515 and an average at
tendance OF 2,194. Sixty-eight colored
teachers were employed.
During the past two years the
schools lost considerable time on &C
count of influenza. While it was nee
essarv to suspend one or two of the
schools during the spring OF 1920, the
loss of time was not such a serious
handicap, and the work was more sat
isfactory than in the two previous
years | have never seen our people
manifest such an interest in education.
