SAFETY CRUSADES
Bv n. Addinqton Bruce

r WOULD respectfully suggest to the
| 4 school authorities of this country that,
| - as soon as possible after the beginning
of new school year, they make systematic
effoft to arouse the children in their charge
to appreciation of the Importance of the
principle Safety first" Conditions, indeed
are such that safety crusades among children
may be said to be imperatively needed.
| Accidents rank today as one of the largest
causes of death during childhood after the
| first five years of life. Every year, accord
| ing to statistics compiled by the Census Blu
reau, no fewer than 10000 children under
fifteen years of age are accidentally killed in
| the United States.
From the same statistics it appears that
during the age period of five to nine years
| 1877 of every 1,00G children's deaths
caused by accidents, and 1T of every 1000
deaths during the age period Of ten to four
| teen. The latter ratio exceeds the ratio Of
chiIdrens deaths from all epidemic diseases
during the same age period.
and, of the total of 10000 accidental kill
ings, almost one-half are due to automobile
and other vehicular accidents, drownings, and
! injuries received by children playing near
railway tracks. Clearly, much could be done
to lessen this death toll if the ''Safety first
I idea were properly impressed on children's
minds.
For then the so-called natural thought
lessness' of children would be replaced by
life-saving prudence. And if the recklessness
!
tally killed, most of such deaths
doubtedly due to the fact that the slain chill
dren didn't stop to think
To persuade their children to stop to think
school authorities might we'll adopt plan in
stituted last spring among Cleveland junior
high school pupils. The special merit of this
plan is that it includes, not merely instruction
as to practices which children should avoid
in the interest of safety, but active co-opera-
ton by 'junor safety council to insure
the desired avoidance.
The council is made up Of representatives
elected from each class in the school. They
are pledged to refrain from unsafe practices
themselves, and to aid in persuading other
children to do likewise. In addition they re-
port to the school principal any dangerous
traffic conditions they may observe in the
neighborhood, or other condition menacing
| the school children.
| Safety meetings are held, safety bulletins
posted in school Corridors and safety leaflets
| issued to be taken into the home. All this
! helps to keep the children interested, thus in
| tensifying the educational effect
| In view of the figures gathered by the Cen
that similar crusades should be carried on
in schools everywhere. And better time
to start them could be chosen than the be-
ginning of the school year, when the children
are most eager for cooperative effort after
| the long cessation from such effort during the
| summer vacation.

This Way Lies PROSPERITY

~ EJOICING at Dixie's cheered outlook
X the New York Evening Post, whose
attitude toward things Southern is
markedly more intelligent under it's new
control, observes that it is not simply in
creased prices for cotton which now make
for prosperity, but also the economy with
which the crop was made and the in
creased production of food staples. every
period of depression in the South within the
past two decades,' the Post adds, "has been
a period of education in better methods of
farming and in sounder economics Diversi-
fication spreads when cotton is poor CROP
as it has been this year. Live stock farming
makes progress and there is a gradual draw
ing away from the hand-to-mouth system of
cotton production which has done so mucn
to keep a potentially rich section lettering
between feast and famine If the recent de-
preston accelerates this advance it will be a
blessing in Disguise
Accelerated it assuredly has been; and
If the foresighted forehanded men in agri-
cultural, banking and mercantile affairs
have their way, the South never again will
be dependent on cotton for subsistence and
economic security. Plans are being formu-
lated now, in many counties of Georgia
and neighbor States, for an abundant acre
age of food crops and liberal attention to
animal husbandry in the seasons coming on
This way lies independence, and this way
the prosperity that endures.

nigh inescapable, and perhaps he could have
brewed more trouble outside the American del

the same time the country, whose sentiment

MRS. SOLOMON SAYS:
BY HELEN ROWLAND

My daughter, there be fifty-seven varieties
Of men, but GENTLEMAN shineth amongst
them Broadway Star in a company Of
amateurs.
He excelleth them all.
Yea, though manners are extinct and a
glace polish" is as passe as romantic love,
still. by many signs thou shalt know a Gen.
tleman.
Lo, Gentleman scorneth to make wom-
an conspicuous. He presseth not her hand
in public. Nay, though he may be cave
man in his wooings; yet, before the multi
tude, he is filled with Difference, and show
eth not his sentimental proves.
But a Blob vaunteth his tenderness before
the gapers and gossips, and is slushy. He
playeth to the gallery, and rejoiceth to be
called "heart-snatcher."
Gentleman ksseth not damsel without
good excuse. Yea, he TWENTIETH a rea-
son. He affordeth her balm for her con-
science and prop for her pride.
But Boor saith: "Oh, why make fuss
about it? Is not kiss it's OWN excuse, and
doth not damsel LIKE to be kissed?"
A Gentleman speaketh not the name Of any
woman, where the Stays are gathered to-
gether. But the mouth of a Fool is full OF
boastings, and his eye of winnings; and he
covereth himself with medals for his own glo-
rification.
When two women are present, a Gentle
man showeth no discrimination between
them And, if the Beauty must be carried
across the brook, then the Chrome likewise
is carried; and with the SAME tenderness,
though her face be as the "back-of-a-hack."
But the Goof confneth all his "chivalry'
to the damsel of his heart. And, In bowling
to one woman, he cheerfully trampeth upon
the feet of another woman.
A Gentleman is slow to kiss, and quick to
apologize And, when damsel rehuketh
him, he humbeth himself and calleth himself
names.
He kisseth her again.
But Churl saith: Go to! Didst thou not
LEAD me on? Yet, since thou are Offend
eth, l will go my way!"
He kisseth her NOT, again.
A Gentleman maketh love Convinclngly.
And, while his arms are about one woman.
1t is as though there were no other woman in
the world.
But Blob keepeth a string tied to his
sentiments and dealeth out his caresses as
premiums. He is SO careful!
A Gentleman judgeth not a woman
hastily.
But Cad saith: "Lo, if she is easy with
me, then can she be kissed by ANY mani"
For he judgeth every woman according to
MS own formula.
But Goof prizeth his OWN vanity above
all things, and protecteth it at any cost
Verify, verify man may be self-made, but
heaven maketh Gentleman in moments OF
artistic inspiration!

H. H. H.
BY DR.. Frank Crane


Harding, Hughes and Hoover, said my old
friend, the nameologist, whom 1 found sitting
on bench in the back yard of the asylum
(you see he has got so learned they had to
lock him up) these three gentlemen are now
| running the United States.
They are the three HIS.
And what does that signify? I asked
Harmony, he replied. First of all, har-
mony. That is also H.
1t also connotes good times coming for
H, H, H also stands for Ha! Ha! Ha! which
is the common or garden way of expressing
joy and glee.
Anything else?
notice.
The colors of these names are interesting
They go with the vibrations, and suggest the
odic radiations.
Honest? said I.
Sure! said he. Harding reacts blue The
ladies, with deep instinct, already have a
Harding blue for their millinery. Blue in
dicates calm, as ocean, sky and all that. Blue
binds as oceans connect continents. Harding
is a getalonger. He gets along, harmonizes,
gets the boys together, and all that.
Really! said I.
Oh yes, said he. Hughes vibrates red.
That equals force, feeling and all that. And
Hoover vibrates white. He stands for facts.
All facts are white Except the colored ones.
He is a pragmatist. He hunts facts, collects
raw.
Don't get excited, said
l amt, he said. In these three HIS you
have again the triune unity, one in three,
three in one.
But, 1 said, three into one you can't.
Oh, but you can, said he. Man is three
in one. So our government now has the COM
plete personality, Hoover mental, Hughes
moral, Harding volitonal. The old psyche
logical division, intellect, sensibility and will.
Or, you might say, Head, Heart, Hand
three HIS again, you see, and all that.
To be sure, said I.
Further, he said, Harding is Journalist
Hughes Lawyer and Hoover an Engineer.
Another grand combination. Grand vibra-
lions. Hoover to find out how to do things,
Hughes to find out how to do 'em without
getting arrested "a lawyers business), and
Harding to get the Senate to let him do 'em.
| 1t is a combination glorious as the COM
bined colors red, white and blue.
| He stood up and Galuted.
Sit down, I said, and keep cool.
| But, most important of all, he said as he
sat down, is their combined power Of pre-
vention and all that.
What do you mean prevention? said l.
Why, said he, Harding is a politician of
| long experience hence he not only is an ex-
pert in getting things done, but also in keep
| ing people from doing 'em.
| Hughes training has been in the law,
which is science that shows you how per-
| fectly plain and simple thing to do cannot
be done at all. Law is a science of Illegal
| ties, medicine is a science of diseases.
And Hoover, being engineer, can show
| you how thing, even if Harding shows it
| to be permissible, and Hughes shows it to be
| legal, is still impractical.
| And why is not doing things Of such i'm
portance? l asked.
| Because, he said, the main business of
rulers is to keep Government from medding.
Then the keeper came and led him back
| to his cell.

FROM POOR PARENTS

tn HE world is celebrating the 600th an

tryman, Dante Alighieri, one of the
greatest writer's of all time.
Have you read Dante's ''Inferno?" Maybe
not. But years ago, when you were bow.
book agent with ball-bearing tongue prob
ably sold copy to your mother, and you
may recall looking at the terrible pictures of
sinners writhing in hell.
Dante, borne Of a poor family, put in a
long time rolling pills in small Italian drug
store. His parents, without wealth, gave the
world a treasure.
That should inspire poor people who won
der what the future will bring to their boy,
just starting school.
: Wealth and home of luxury are not nee
essary for success of children. It's what s
born in them, plus what their mothers teach
them, that counts.
Aesop, greatest writer of fables, was a
slave. Charles Dickens once toiled in shoe
factory. Shakespeare's father was a glove
maker. The poet Keats was the son of a
hostler.
James Watt, inventor of the steam engine,
was the son of small storekeeper who ended
in bankruptcy.
Christopher Columbus, discoverer OF
America, was the son of wool comber
Benjamin Franklin's father was a candle
maker.

The TzOo Sets of Game Lau

The T1Oo Sets of Game La1Os
~ OMMENDABLE zeal for the conserva
ton of game has resulted in Geor
gia, as in numerous other States, IN
two sets of laws on the hunting season
those enacted by the Legislature and those
enacted by Congress. In some instances the
two concur as regards open and closed 1a-
sons; but in others the Federal regulations
forbid certain kinds of hunting within a
period which, as far as the State law goes
is open. The Federal regulations, OF
course, must be observed; and their en-
forcement, it is understood, will be looked
to more diligently this year than hitherto.
In these somewhat confusing circum-
stances the Albany Herald has done valu-
able service in tabulating the open seasons
as defined by Georgia statutes, together
with corresponding exceptions under the
Federal law. Thus:
Quails, November 20 to March 1; rs in
one day.
Doves, August to 81, and November 20
to March 1 25 in one day. (National law,
November 20 to January 81 25 in one day.
Wild turkeys, either sex, November 20
to March 1; two in one season.
Cat squirrels, October 1 to March 1; IS
in one day.
Deer, either sex, November 1 to December
81; two in season.
Summer or wood duck, September 1 to jan
uary 1; 25 in one day. National law pro-
hibits killing of summer or wood ducks.)

TTi-Weekly News Flashes From All Over

Indian Riot

Serious rioting, marked by the wholesale
looting of grain shops, occurred in broad day
light at Meerut, thirty-five miles northeast
of Delhi, India, it is said, in telegram re-
ceived from that city. In the course of two
hours the entire stocks of the shops were
removed by the rioters. A similar outbreak
occurred at the corn mills at Meerut, and
the losses are estimated at approximately
$4,000.
The trouble started when two grain mer-
chants were arrested on a charge of swim
ding a purchaser, the incident being aggra-
waited by the present shortage of grain. Sew
eral of those who participated in the disorder
were arrested.

Famine Ends


Public indignation, both Chinese and for
eign, has been greatly reused by the con-
tinued imposition of surtaxes on maritime
customs, "Ekin," interprovincial customs,
railways, posts and telegraphs professedly for
the relief of sufferers from the famine in
North China, although it ceased month ago
and relief societies have closed their books
reports the Shanghai correspondent of "The
London Times Yet it is announced that the
surtaxes will continue till next March.
The diplomatic body consented to the mar
thine customs surtax without even consulting
the chambers of commerce in order to pro.
vide security for the 100000 famine loan.
Receipts from this source already equal that
amount. From all the surfaces the govern
ment must have received at least $1,000 900,
and by next March will have received at the
most moderate estimate $20,000,000 It's
total contributions to the famine were only
100000, nor has it ever published any kind
of accounts, this being in marked contrast to
the action of all private relief societies.
Thus up to date at least 100000 In
tended for the famine victims has vanished
into the capacious pockets of the Pekin
mandarins. The scandal is the more glazing
when compared with the large sums contrib
uted for famine relief from Great Britain,
America and other countries and by the for
eign community in China.
