INVENTIONS
By DR.. Frank Crane

We are on the edge of great inventions.
We think we have had many. We shall have
more. We have hardly begun.
The steam engine, the gasoline engine, the
sewing machine, the telegraph and telephone,
the motion picture, the talking machine, the
typewriter, the fountain pen and many others
make us feel that we have accomplished Won
ders.
We have, Poe has very interesting skit
wherein he outdoes Scheherazade in her Arabian
Nights entertainment by recounting to one liV-
ing in a preceding century the miracles that
were to take place in the Nineteenth.
One of the greatest English scientists wrote
a book of the Nineteenth, calling it "The
Wonderful Century"
The Twentieth will be still more amazing.
We might mention a few which have re-
Gently come under our notice, not forgetting
there are others just as astonishing to Which
our attention has not been called.
First, the possibilities of wireless telegraphy
and telephony. Messages have actually been
sent by word OF mouth from a battleShlp OFT
the Atlantic coast and the words heard in an
other in the Pacific near Los Angeles. Another
word message was spoken in New Jersey and
heard in Scotland. 1t is not at all incredible
to suppose that we shall be converSlng by
wireless all over the earth, annihilating dis
lance, within the next decade.
Air navigation is almost as exciting to the
imagination. 1t is no wild prediction to say
that within lifetime there shall be aircraft
passengers on regular schedule from New
York to San Francisco, and even across the
ocean.
Recently there was given in New York an
exhibition of Talking Pictures. The people on
the movie screen actually spoke-the words ap-
parently came right from their mouths.
But perhaps the greatest idea of all is that
of the business man who had his visitors chair
nailed to the floor, so the bore could not
hitch it forward but had to keep his distance.
If things keep up like this we shall have to
have some new CALCULATIONS of surprise, for
we shall have worn out entirely Do Tell, !

4 Safer and Sounder Mexico
the question of Washington's
attitude toward our neighbor acros

attitude toward our neighbor across
the Rio Grande, the New York World
suggests: eff there are interests In the
United States that desire to postpone recog-
milton in order to weaken the Obrogon re-
gime and prepare the way for Government

Of anti-Mexican propaganda may be easily

clear vision and workmanly purpose?
In foreign relations President Oregon
manner and method are strikingly different
from the bumptiousness Of his predecessor.
Evidently he values the friendship OF the
United States, perceives the need of outside
capital to develop his country's resources
and recognizes the rights Of foreign residents
and investors, although he would concede
them no special privilege in conflict with his
own peoples basic interests. AS for Article
Twenty-Seven Of the Mexican Constitution
which, it has been feared, might lead to the
confiscation of foreign investments in Mext-
can oil fields, he emphatically declares that
no retroactive measures will be taken In this
connection. Henceforth the nations treas
ures will be conserved for its own people, but
existing titles will be punctiliously respected
that, as we understand it, is his attitude
Such are the policies most likely to main
tain peace and justice in Mexico, and to
quicken progress. The United States can we'll
afford to encourage an Administration that
stands for them.

IF there is one thing in the world that
| makes me more deadly weary than an
| II other it is all of this maudlin bunk that
| is talked and written about the American
man neglecting his family for his business,
and leaving his poor, prosecuted, neglected
wife to NOPE alone at home while he dis
| ports himself in orgies Of work at his Of
| flee.
That is the theme of innumerable novels
and stories, and because man Is striving
with might and main, and bending every en-
| ergy to make a place in the sun for his
wife and children, it Is represented as suf-
| ficient justification for said wife to hunt up
an affinity and have an affair with some man
who has time to play around with her be-
cause he doesn't have to support her, and
| pay her bills for the frills in which she
| looks ravishing.
And invariably in such cases the hard
working husband is represented as the one
! in fault, not the silly, selfish, self-centered
woman he had the i'll luck to draw in the
| matrimonial gamble, who has not heart
enough to appreciate the sacrifices that a
man is making for her, nor brains enough
| to understand and sympathize with his am
billions.
The worst feature of all of this twaddle
about a mans business being his wifes dead
ly RIVAL is that lot of neurotic women have
taken it for gospel truth, and are shedding
barrels of tears of self pity because they
have had the cruel fate befall them Of being
married to hustlers instead Of lounge liz
ards.
1t doesn't seem possible that any woman
could be fool enough to be just as Jealous
over her husband being vamped by the gro
Gerry business as she would be if he was
vamped by a blonde siren with a willowly
figure and long jade ear rings. Bat it is a
fact.
During the course Of year I get hun
dreds of letters from women who say that
their hearts are broken, and they are ne
most miserable creatures alive, though no.
body would think SO to look at them, be-
cause they live in fine houses, and have mo-
tor cars, and beautiful clothes, and travel,
and are Tapped in luxury, but they are neg
lected by their husbands-boo hoo-who
never go to afternoon teas with them, and
who often work at night, and sometimes act
ually break engagements to go to the thea

has come from California, or Maine to see
them about some dreadful business deal

No. There's nothing the matter with hub

he never looks at another woman, but he's

faith, and to remember him with affection
long after he had passed that way. His
interests, moreover, were uncommonly spa
cious. Nothing human was alien to him, and
his heart was ever in the cause Of the COM
monweal. How generously and effectually
he labored for Georgias highest good, his
service in the Baptist "SeventyFive Million"
campaign in 1919 bears beautiful witness.
AS one of the twelve divisional organizers of
the State in that great undertaking, he
worked not simply as a Baptist but as a
patriot, knowing his countrys want of the
enlightenment and awakening for which the
millions of money were being mustered, and
launching his whole soul into the effort as
one who saw through his church the needs
and true interests of his fellow man.
Prior to entering the ministry Mr.. Bealer
was member of The Journals staff, and
through all sthe years ensuing it has been
the papers good fortune to receive frequent
contributions from his deft and virile pen.
He "covered' the great Baptist conventions,
in which he himself was a distinguished fig
ure, with unfailing repotorial skill Georgia
scenes and characters he sketched with that
rare charm of truth which only practiced
and a loving hand attains. The grace Of
humor was richly his, mellowing his thought
and winning, like a glow of winter freight,
those who read or listened true Geor-
gain, true man, a true Christian he was.
So goodly an influence can have no measure,
so fine life no end.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-HER HATED RIVAL

BY DORO THY DIX

| husbands business as a rival, that it's q
great pity somebody can't spank her 1ntC
sanity, as we do a child in a tantrum NO
l am not advocating child beating, nor WIG
beating but there are times when it takes a
good stiff jolt to wake US up, and make us
see things as they really are instead or the
way we have been beholding them IN Dill
lious dream. And this is one OF the occa-
| sions.
am not saying that men should not give
more time to their families and less to their
! business than they do. The ideal arrange
ment would be for men to be able to make
enough money in a few hours labor suffice
and to be able to spend the balance OF the
time in heart-to-heart association with tnell
wives and children. But before that ideal
can be realized several things will have tc
| happen.
! For one thing man will have to give uI
all ambition because nobody ever achleseo
any worth while thing yet who kept union
hours. The ones who get there are those
who while their companions slept were toll
ing upward in the night The man who Is
Johnny-on -the-spot and always on his job is
| the one who is going to succeed every time
Don't forget that, weepy ladies.
! Business will also have to be reconstruct
| ed so as to permit man leisure in which
to hold his wifes hand. AS it is now, it is
as relentless as fate 1t is life and death
game, with all man has on the table, and
he either sits in it and matches his wit, and
energy and foresight against other tight
listed players, or, else, he has to drop out
entirely. It's no tiddledewinks that you car
take hand in now and then, as the notion
seizes you. When man starts an enter
prise he has got to push his stone up the hill
over the crest, or else 1t rolls back on him
and brushes him.
| For another thing, wives have got to de-
mand less if they want more Of mans
time You don't hear Of the woman who
complains that her husband is neglecting heI
| for his business, telling him that she viii
go and live on a cheap street, and do her
own cooking, and give up the car, and wear
hand me down dresses. Not much. She
wants to eat her cake and have it too ana II
can't be done.
| So say to the woman who imagines THAI
her husband neglects her because he gives
most of his time to his business:
| Brace up and act like sensible woman
| instead Of a cry baby. Go down on you1
knees and thank God for having given you 6
man who has got the grit to do mans worB
instead of a lazy loafer. Be proud of his
ambition. Enter into his plans Get az
much interested in his business as he is, anc
| bear in mind that all of his work is for you
and yours, and that there is no other proof
| of devotion a man can offer woman sc
great as being willing to slave for her.
| And don't forget this-that the most con
| temptible woman on earth is she who dolls
herself up in the clothes a Woodworking
husband has paid for, and goes out man
hunting in them.

forswear cynicsm and put out his Ian
tern. This, at least is to be inferred from
the statement o. the director of the New
York Bureau, that twenty-five thou and per-
sons have made larger returns and pay
ments for 1920 than they legally should.
Surely they would never have done son save
out of an exces~ of honesty, or conscientious
ness. Fear of the law, be it conceded, may
have played part, but a thoroughly whole
some fear it was. The director adds, we are
sorry to say, that some thirty-siX thousand
persons were found not to have paid enough,
thus showing that the fairest shield has two
sides. Yet in these instances the trouble
doubtless lay not in wrong purpose but in
poor figuring or in befuddlement at the
jungle of questions.

Headache Cure


Stone age surgeons had the right dope ON
how to treat a headache. They simply bat"
tered hole in the skull of the sufferer In ORE
der to let out the evil spirit. If one hole
was not sufficient others we're made. It was
a most effective cure for headache, but the
patients usually died.
Professor Roy L. Noodle, Of the anatomy
department of the University of Illinois, says
these vents in the skull were ordinarily about
the size of a silver half dollar. Skulls Of neo-
lithic men of Peru, Mexico, France and the
South Sea Islands show that sometimes as
high as six of these vents were made In the
skull of sufferer. Professor Noodle says
this treatment is still employed among GER
tain tribes in the highlands of Peru and Boz
livia and in northern Africa.
The operations are performed on men,
women and children without regard to age
or sex. Instead Of applying anaesthetics the
surgeon has assistants sit on the body Of the
patient to keep him or her still while he CHS
els the hole in the skull with stone chisel
and mallet.
