DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYLETTER
BY DIR. WILLIAM E. BARTON.

It has been a dictum of political
history ;hat Revolutions never roll
backward" Perhaps not. But the
forward rolling Of revolution inev-
itably brings with it elements CT
reaction, and these sooner OF later set
their wheels revolving within wheels
July is q great month for freedom.
There are three notable anniveIsa a
ries, ten days apart-July 4, IA, and
"a. Each of them stands for birth
of free government.
July "a is the date Of the birth OF
freedom in Turkey, or o. what prom
ised to be freedom. A constitutional
government was adopted in Turkey,
July "a, 1908. On that day the
Young Turks" came to power.
Perhaps it had been better if the
old Turkey which everybody knew
to be cruel and corrupt, had con-
tinued until the World War, and then
gone down to its doom.
There might possibly have risen
out of it the hope of a new Turkey.
But if the light that is in a national
hope is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
The young Turks, so far as we
were able to discover, in the World
War were just as cruel and Just as
corrupt as the old Turks, with the
added disadvantage that they were
young, and there was no one else to
look to for better things.
Perhaps revolutions never roll
backward; perhaps it should rather
be said that revolutions always roll
backward.
At any rate, it should be said that
every moment of a people toward
freedom is attended by perils of Ii
cense and extravaganza, and also
by those of reaction. y
Americans who love their country
and who remember the significance
of July 4, may now. and then think
with profit of the significance and thes
warning of July Ia and "a.
Each of these ten days intervals
has its lesson.

The announcement yesterday NOR
ming of the marriage of Miss Berta

while aware of the engagement, did
not expect such early contamination.

at the residence~ef the brides father,

the vows, after which Mr. and Mrs

One hundred dollars per acre foI

road, and he wanted the beautiful
oak grove of seven acres at the tor
of Willct Hill and opposite the Crock

building site for a pretty suburban

EDITORIAL

WITH the highway squabble APP
parently settled in the assem-
bly, amicably to all parties concern
ed. and with the department kept
intact and only slightly curtailed IN
its authority, athe way appears to be
cleared at last for some real business
in the legislature in the brief period
remaining before adjournment. The
taxpayers of Georgia may earnestly
and fervently hope that no petty dis
pute will be allowed from now on
to stand in the way of solution of
the states financial predicament,
which is a matter of first and gravest
concern to us all.

Fl .
Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless il
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the eX-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get bcauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee OF
money back if it fails to reno
freckles. (adv-G)

OBSERVATIONS

Marriage makes two won.
The fat should favor girth-control.
The dogs of war have had their
day.
Business is held back by too many
damns.
Looks like the Irish will get peace,
by George!
Perhaps they still call an old maid
Miss because She did.
Germany couldn't win the world;
but she has started out to sell it.
The downfall of many a man
comes from too much upkeep.
Some profiteering landlords are
finding their houses taking summer
vacations.
Some Congressman take for their
slogan, "When in the capital do as
the capitalists do"
A small boys idea of making
things even is to eat onions before
going to the dentist.
The White Sox scandal put the
players out, but they should be put
where they can't get out.
The British prohibition leaders
name is Tanks; but the tanks an

Neighbors should remember small

than they are to small boys.

NEXT time you eat ice cream, con-
slider the debt you owe to Sambo
Jackson, negro pastry chef in a New
York tavern, who gave the world it's
first dish of iceN cream 105 years
ago this month.
For years, Sambo had a monopoly
on The manufacture of ice cream, be
cause he kept his process a closely
guarded secret. All that is definitely
known about his discovery is that it
was an accident.
1t might not be bad idea to erect
monument somewhere to Sambo.

ICE, the gift of Nature-in the
North. You make think it's only
recently that man learned to cut it
in winter and store it away in saw
dust which, insulating, keeps out the
heat and prevents thawing.
Yet as far back as the DAYS of Nero
Roman slaves packed snow in under
ground pits, pounding it into ice for
summer use.
Dealers in ice and packed snow
were common in France $50 years
ago.
In 1899, ice cut from a pond in
New York City was shipped by boat
to Charleston, S. c. That was the
beginning Of great ice export bust
ness.
In those days, artificial ice was not
commercially practicable. Scientists
mad experimental for centuries to
produce low temperatures artifcialIv.
but the first American patent for
making artificial ice was not taken
out until 1834-by John Gorrie, a
doctor in Apalachicola, Fla.

FANS are ancient. All races have
them. The cave man probably
famed himself in July with a dried
palm leaf or slab of bark.
Electric fans, without which you'd
find summer harder to endure, were
of slow evolution, many contribut-
ing.
But they were made possible by
Thomas Davenport, an impoverished
Vermont blacksmith, who in 1884,
built the first rotary electric motor.
