Our union meeting at Caledonia be-

tinued until Sunday night Rev w.
A. Overton gave US the fine word Of
Go dthroughout the entire meeting.
We never heard better preaching was
the universal decision of all those that
heard him. He captivated the people.
The meeting was success beyond a
doubt. The congregations We're fine
an dat night the large house was
crowded with hungry, thirsty null
titude of people who were anxious to
drink in the beautiful words Of truth
and wisdom as they fell from the lips
of this man of God. Rev. Overton is
strong preacher, and his sermons
were forceful and clear-cut and deep
ly spiritual. He proved to be master
in his special line of work, judging
from his talks to the children, he is
far from being an ordinary preacher.
If more sermons of this kind were
preached the world would be better
off. 1t is hoped that much good vii
result from this meeting and that
a foundation has been laid and work
begun that will live and grow through
out eternity. AS a result of this series
of meetings the church has been re-
vived and the community at large
blessed.

by Walter Dill Scott President of
Northwestern University, who said:
whenever we are puzzled by a
confused mass of figures, whenever
we want to get at the heart Of a
matter, we are glad to see a chart
that gets down to fundamentals and
Fexplains our uncertainty. We all rec
ognize that there is something about
chart that gives US mastery over
details. 1t seems to present COM
pick situation as a panorama; with
each detail in its place and the rela-
tions and interrelations orderly and
definite"
With an effective graph before
him, the business executive quits
guessing and works from facts. Ac-
cording to the Business Charting In
stitute, the graph plays vital part
in every kind of industry and in
every department of business. For
instance, the National Cash Register
Company has demonstrated the value
of the chart in the following ways:

ments of good craftsmanship (3) d.

Cut Out Guess Work
By Picturing Facts

Chicago, Dec. 29.-"Before the
wise merchant of today selects the
site for his retail store he studies a
chart on which is visualized the
neighborhood traffic, even to the &C
tual number of pedestrians on each
sidewalk per hour. If his bookkeeper
finds the profits growing smaller
month by month, he makes chart
which enables him to point out to his
employer the weak place in the bust
ness. Travelling statesmen present
their more or less complicated prop
ositions by means of diagrams as
we'll as films" said Sumter Calvert,
of the Society for Visual Education,
in discussing with group of visiting
vocational instructors for rapidity
with which motion pictures and
graphic charts have sprung into
prominence in business and industry.
Since the war the demand "Show
me-" has become increasingly imper-
alive, Mr.. Calvert declared. If you
want attention paid to your PROPOSE
ton if you want to make your point
before your listener wearies Of the
subject, you inevitably seize pencil
and place before him some marks of
comparison. If you can show him
an effective graph whose curves are
based on facts-if you can present
your proposition visualized-you
have virtually put it over"
"The facts charted by bookkeeper,
manager or clerk-this is the demand
of all big businss concerns" con
tinued Mr.. Calvert. "The graph is
the outgrowth of present day COM
pick business methods. Many of the
bona-fide educational films, whether
for industrial or classroom use, COM
bine the chalk talk and graph with
the motion picture. Both the con-
sentative pedagogue and the alert
business executive see the advantage
of putting complicated data into pic
ture form"

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The Senate Committee APP
pointed to investigate the military
administration by this Govern
ment Of the Dominican Republic
and Haiti has returned, and in
due season its report will be made
public. From such information
as has come through the press VIC
are inclined to believe that the
committee has come to the right
conclusion as to affairs i'll the two
countries. The Haitian Republic
is not to be put i'll the same cate
CORY as the enlightened Dominican
Republic. 1t is composed for the
most part of all illiterate popula-
ton but little superior to their
African ancestry and utterly I'M
fitted for self-government. The
Dominicans, however. are among
the most intelligent and cultured
peoples OF Latln-America. We
are decidedly OF the opinion that
they are competent to take over
the administration Of their own
affairs, and hope the Senate Com
Inittee will recommend steps to-
wards this much desired consunl-
nation.
We are just i'll receipt of sew

ALEXANDRIA TO FAIRFAX

The coming year augurs well
for Alexandria. Several good
things are in sight which promise
fruition in,1922.
The first of the bountltul gifts
that maybe expected will be the
Fairfax Highway. As we said
the other day, the State Highway
Commission are friendly to the
project and energetic citizens OF
Fairfax County and Alexandra
are determined to see it through
One of the prettiest arguments
put up to the Commission, at the
hearing, was made by the worthy
president of Our Chamber OF Com
merce, w. A. Smoot We quote
his argument in full, which, as
near as our reporter could get it,
was as follows:
THE present road program Tor
the state Of Virginia contemplates
the construction Of many thous-
ands of miles OF improved high
ways at a cost of many millions OF
dollars and none of this money IS
available, under present plans, TOR
expenditure in the corporate
limits of a city.
There have been only two state
highways proposed in the vicinity
Of this city, which are the Wash
ington-Richmond highway with
the road from Washington to
Alexandria and on to Camp
Humphrey completely and the
road to Fairfax and OH to the
valley. The Richmond Washing
ton route never did contemplate
any new construction within a
distance of about twelve miles OF
Alexandria, which makes the
Alexandria to Fairfax highway
the only new construction we can
hope to secure from the entire
program according to present
plans.
1T certainly seems equitable
for a city of over 10000 people
who will be taxed over a period
of many years for the state, high
ways to. at least, ask that one
road be built from their city, in a
program as extensive as the pres
ent one, when this road will be
SO essential to the city's welfare.

IF all men count with you but
none too much" Certainly this line
applies to Edward G. Lowry and,
because his book is so full of clear in
sight and kindly wit and fair play,
we are inclined to believe he meas
ures up to good many Of the POEMS
other qualifications, too. Mr.. Lowry
can be an adlnirer but not a syco-
plant; a keen critic yet not an enemy.
He has the gift Of an understanding
heart in regard to both his subject
and audience; realization of the
value of apt anecdote; complete
knowledge of Kipling's COLLECTED
Verse" and unerring sense of when
and where to use it.
The chapter on Will H. Hays will
catch the popular fancy; the chapter
on Hughes is probably the best.

If the reviewer has written more

it is because unconsciously he has put

THE MAN IN GRAY, by Thomas
Dixon. (The Anterior Press, New
York City,

1t is hard for Southern man
or woman to review a book in which
Robert Z. Lee is the dominant figure.
The man himself is so much greater
than any story which can be built
around him that he either dwarfs the
structure into insignificance, or
raises the quality Of the work by his
own sheer beauty till we forget the
books shortcomings No book could
be utterly bad if Lees smile flashed
just once across the pages.
Thomas Dixon will always have
following, though personally we pre-
fer having the great characters of the
South portrayed by Miss Mary John
son. There is an element of the fana-
tic in Mr.. Dixon and the South is bet
ter off without partisanship. Let our
authors present he heroes of the old
South as lovingly as they will but
leave the cause for which they fought
to history.
Mr.. Dixon presents john Brown of
Harper's Ferry in new light. 1t is
a question whether it is better to
hold to the old idea of him as just a
beast or to accept Mr.. Dixon's picture
of a religious fanatic. While it raises
him in the social scale, it increases
his responsibility toward humanity
and makes his crimes the blacker.
