collie. She would never have reminded him
of his faults, and no bill collector would
ever have crept into their Eden.
OF course in his sober senses, the man
knows that if he had married his first love
she would have made very much the same
sort of wife that his second love has, and
that he would have had to pay tass same
price for domesticity. Ney~'t@reIess, he can
not help contrasting the TWO women to the
detriment of the second, and many mans
life is made bitter by his regrets over the
woman he didn't marry.
Women are subject to this same folly,
and many wife, unsupported by her hus-
band, has her little private altar before
which she worships the image of the man
she didn't marry, and who, she is sure,
would have treated her very differently
from the way in which the commonplace
man to whom she is united in the holy
bonds of wedlock treats her.
He would always have been romantic
lover signing at her feet. He would always
have appreciated her and paid her flowery
compliments. He would have kept her a
goddess on a pedestal instead of turning
her into a cook in the kitchen He would
never have quarreled over the bills. He
would have always stayed slim and hand
some, instead of getting baywindowed and
bald as has the man she has mistakenly
chose.
So she, too, signs for what might have
been, and eats her heart out in longing for
the old romance.
There is one sure cure for this Stiffness
Let every man and woman who long for
their first love pack bag and start forth
in search of them. Let them go once more
to the shrine of the old romance. The man
will find that the girl he remembered as
light as thistledown, and as pretty and
fresh as a rosebud, has grown fat, and
homely, and dull. When he seeks to revive
the old romance, she will talk to him about
her children, and how trifling servants are
now, and she will bore him to tears with
her platitudes. The woman will find he1
Romeo with his mind obsessed by the greer
grocery trade instead of sentiment, and he
will tell her how she has changed, and she
will feel like numbering him where hi
stands.
| No people are so strange to us as al
| those who were once dear to us and from
whom we have long been parted No one
seems so old to us as those whom we have

so probably no one ever meets ones frs
love without thanking God for the ESCAPE
from him or her.
Giving the once over to that old sweet

THOUGHT AND ACTION
By H. Addington Bruce
. EoPLE would be little bit more care

~ EOPLE would be a little bit more care
T. full in their choice of reading matter,
Of amusement places, and Of friends,
if only they appreciated how inevitably the
ideas which come to them from whatever
they read, see or hear affect their behavior.
That their behavior should inevitably be
affected thereby is because Of the psychologist
cal law that thought always passes over into
action. To be sure, it may not Immediately
pass into action. But soon or late the transit
tiCn will take place.
AS William James once remarked, in the
course of lecture he was delivering to an
audience of teachers:
"As I talk here and you listen, it might
seem as if no action followed. You might
call it q purely theoretic process, with no
practical result.
"But it. cannot take place at all and leave
your conduct unaffected If not today, then
on some far future day, you will answer some
question differently by reason of what you
are thinking now.
1--WE cannot escape our destiny, which is
practical; and even our most theoretic facul-
ties contribute to It's working out"
OF course, there is such a thing as con-
flict of ideas, so that while one kind of think
ing impels tv conduct in one direction, anoth-
err kind may impel o conduct in a very diff
ferent direction.
In such an event the victory usually rests
1t is this which gives special Importance to
right choice of friends, books and places OF
amusement.
For, obviously, the more one consorts with
people of a given type, the more one reads
books of a certain sort, the more one resorts
to amusement places of, particular kind, the
greater will be the frequency with which
ones mind entertains the ideas derived there
from
And correspondence greater the likeli=
hood then, that the conduct will be shaped
by these ideas, rather than by opposite ideas
which happen to be less frequently enter
tanned.
One might wish that this were not the
case But wishing does not make it any the
less the case.
Snd since it is the case-silce conduct if
chiefs determined by frequency Of think
ing, and the latter by frequency OF contacts
with people and things-the course ons
should take with regard to choice Of friends
books and amusements becomes unm1staka'
bly, evident.
Choose only those that help most frequent,
ly to right-thinking Else be not surprised II
YOU are forever cheated of success, prosperity
and happiness.

MAKING PEARLS CHEAP-By Frereric j. Haskin

if in later transactions the origin of the
pearl is lost. AS the only sure way to prove
| that q MikiE-oto pearl is not wild pearl is
to cut it in half to show the nucleus, the
identity of a culture pearl is apt to be lost,
he points out.
Pearl Farming
The system under which Mr.. Mikimoto
operates his perl farm seems so simple
though he says it requires extreme care
| that it would be much copied If he had not
protected himself by patents. His process
is patented not only irAJapan but in num-
Der of other countries as we'll. He received
his patent from the United States patent Of
! flee in 1911, when he had just begun to get
successful results with round pearls.
| His unique pearl farm consists o. great
stretch of leased water and an island in the
Bay of ! go. A good deal of fishing for wild
pearls has always been done in this locality.
Mr.. Mikimoto chose the place, figuring that
conditions should be favorable to oyster
culture.
Young oysters live in the beds here lor
three years. They are then taken out and
an irritant the nucleus for a pearl is intro
duced into tie oyster. The nucleus is gen
! orally a round bit of mother-of-pearl in
serted in the liver of the oyster.
| The oysters are then Larked in fields on
the sea bottom, each shell being placed a
foot more away from the next. For four
to six years this set of oysters is left there.
In that time enough layers of mother-of-
poarl are deposited by tie oyster to make
fairly large pearl. Then women divers
| bring up the oysters and the pearls are re-
moved.
This farming is not SO easy as it sounds.
| Inserting the specially prepared bit OF
| nucleus into the oyster is delicate work.
| And as in all farming, there are pests and
weeds to combat. The octopus and starfish
| are two marine animals who enjoy eating
oysters. iSome kinds of seaweed too spread
so rapidly as to choke hundreds of oysters,
leaving the pearls half formed perhaps
| worthless
Implanting the irrtant into the oyster it
self, instead of allowing it to become at
tached to the shell, made the round, cultured
pearl possible. For years, cultured pearls
were flat on one side The nucleus was
placed in the SHE'LL and the mother-of-pearl
substance that the oyster formed over it to
protect itself fastened it to the shell. This
made a button pearl. Half pearls of this
sort were mounted on a mother of pearl
base and used in rings and other jewelry.
| This sort of pearl coating has been done
for centuries by the Chinese with tiny
images. Little metal Buddhas are placed in
the oyster shell to be covered over with a
pearly coating.
But Mikimoto was not satisfied until he
had produced round, perfect pearls in quar-
has steadily grown and to date not even the
announcement of the European gem deal
ers against the cultured pearl has causeu
Mr.. Mikimoto to discharge any of his oyster

WHY THE MAJOR DIDN'T SUIT

On a voyage of one of the Cunard liners
from New York to Liverpool a Major H.
Reynolds, of London, was registered on the
passenger list. The purser, running over
the names, assigned to the same Btateroom
as fellow Travellers this Major Reynolds and
husky stockman from the Panhandle of
Texas.
A little later the cattleman, ignoring the
purser, hunted up the skipper.
Look here, cap,'' he demanded, what
kind of joker is this here head clerk of
yours? l can't travel in the same stateroom
with that there Major Reynolds. I can't and
won't. So far as that goes, neither one of

BY DOROTHY DIX

man writes me that although he has been
happily married for twenty-five years to
most estimable woman to whom he is devot-
ed, he is tormented by longing to see On.J
again his first love-
1t has been more than quarter of cen
fury since he parted from the sweetheart of
his bOyhood, and in all that time he has
never beheld her, or held any communication
with her. He doesn't know whether she is
married or single, or where she lives He
only knows that she lives enshrined in the
inner sanctuary of his heart, and that she is
eternally Turing him to come back to her
And he feels this is dsloyalty to his wife, and
he doesn't know what to do about it because
the older he gets the stronger becomes the
urge of tins youthful passion.
This man thinks his case peculiar, but it
is an experience common to humanity. Prob
ably there isn't a middle aged man or woman
in the world who hasn't some such romance
laid away in the lavender of memory. Al
ways it is our early loves our firsG loves, that
embody for us romance, and all the beauty
and the thrills that &C with youth, and as we
get farther and farther along the prosaic
road of every day life, this. ideal of our boy
hood and girlhoOd becomes more and more
beautiful and alluring.
The girl that man marries grows old, and
thin and scraWny, or fat and Waddly. Her
hair gets grizzled. Her face is lined with
wrinkles. Her conversation mostly runs to
the high cost of living, and problems about
the bone to make her husband comfortable,
but she makes no pretense of considering him
a dream hero, and she is more apt to ask him
when he comes home of evening if he re-
membered to bring the steak for dinner than
she is to demand whether he still loves her
unalterably and forever.
The woman man marries has peculiari-
ties that rub the bloom off romance. She has
temper and nerves that even the boldest hus-
band finds is best to sidestep. She has dis
agreeable relatives that will come and visit
her She has brutal candor in dealing with
a mans faults, and weaknesses, and it often
seems to the husband of even the thriftiest
wife that marriage is just one darn bill after
another.

4 Ken to Many Problems
THAT much of the economic trouble or
the day is fundamentally agricultural

appears to be more and more the DRIFT
of thoughtful business opinion. Says the
current Commerce Monthly: Permanent i'm
provement depends to large extent on for
eign buying power, and even more on the
adjustment of conditions under which the
farmer operates"
Although this was not written with Geor-
gia and the South particularly in mind, 1t
we'll describes heir most pressing problem:
Upon the proper and speedy adjustment OF
conditions under which the farmer oper-
ates," especially in the matter of markets Tor
food products, depends this regions tuli-
sinewed and abiding prosperity. The boil
weevil invasion, by forcing drastic reductlon
of the cotton acreage, lays this and neigh
boring commonwealth under the necessity
of providing commercial outlets for the crops
which must be raised in place of cotton II
the great gap is to be filled. Such facllltles
do not exist in any adequate measure. For
hundred years or more the business of
marketing cotton has received earnest at
tention and much resourcefulness has gone
into it's Improvement. But the farm prod
ucts which through that long period were
not looked to for money in the South, prod
ucts such as grain meat and vegetables, for
these few channels of sale and distribution
have been stablished But now that we have
come to a crisis in which they are our prime
dependence, it is imperative that markets be
forthcoming.
1t is to afford means of proper adjustment
in these new conditions under which pro-
ducers on the soil operate, that the Georgia
Farm Markets Federation is being organized.
Initiated by the States soundest banking tai
emit, and supported by forward-thinking, pub
lic-sprited citizens far AMI wide, this sea-
sonable undertaking should prove to be val
liable beyond measure. Certainly, it is the
one great base of cooperation for all who

TIE Future of Southern Ports

~ PIPING into the future the Florida
I Times-Union paints this beguiling pic
ture of the port of Jacksonville in the
year 1871: Here, over the threshold Of the
waterfront will come an endless stream
of merchandise from every part of the world.
Here, in ever-growing factories, mills and
warehouses the great influx Of the wealth OF
nations will be manufactured, milled or
stored. From the waterfront will pour out
the products of the region and the fruits of
it's toll"
The prophecy is true beyond all question,
save in one particular: it will not be fifty
years till it's fulillment. Long before that
distant day will Jacksonville have material
lied this vision Splendid and her sister

TONS interest bid fair to achieve more in the
next ten years than in the entire half CEN
fury preceding.
World War problems served to fix atten-
ton upon th rare advantages of Southern
ports-their immunity from the ice and
gales of the North Atlantic, their commod-
iousness and freedom from congestion, their
especial fitness for Latin-American trade
Moreover, it was perceived anew that these
outlets were linked by rail to the country's
farthest interior regions and afforded In
divers cases the most direct and altogether
most economical route for overseas exports.
It was seen, for instance (for the first time
by some observers, strange though that ap-
pearl that Georgia ports, with their spacious
harbors and ample facilities, were served by
trunk lines with uninterrupted connections
with the West, and that in point of mileage
the distance from the principal bases of ship
ping north of the Ohio to Savannah or
Brunswick was but slightly greater than to
terminals ON the North Atlantic.
