dreds of papers as they came from
the revolving mass of machinery. The
old fIat-bed press was a revelation
to them, inasmuch as they appreclat-
ed the vast difference in newer and
more modern machinery over that of
days not far back.
The linotypes were interesting as
they turned out the lines of type
which were placed into the forms
before them in order that they might
see all the various mechanical APP
erations employed in making up the
daily editions which they deliver in
their respective towns.
The last form of entertainment
consisted of a visit to the Rylander
theater, where two good pictures in
GLIDING a roaring funny, was screen
ed, after which the ice cream parlor
was visited.
Late in the afternoon they left for
their homes, greatly pleased and i'm
pressed, and feeling closer acquain-
lance with the Times-Recorder fam
lily which they have recently joined.

FEEBLEM|NDED HOME ]
NOT OPEN; WHY?

The School for the Predetermined,
near Augusta, has not been opened
and cannot be until funds for its main
tenance are passed by the legislature
The last legislation passed the Act
creating the school and appointing a
board to select a site, close the trade
and turn same over to DR.. Thomas f.
Abercrombie, Commissioner Of Health
of the State. This was done, an appro-
priation of 100000 having been made
for this purpose. The Tuttle-New-
ton Orphan Home near Augusta was
selected, for which the sum Of
Seventy-five Thousand Dollars was
paid. There was some necessary ex-
pense in board meetings. attorneys
fees and other items. A keeper had
to be employed, and when these things
were done there was not enough
money left to buy the equipment for
the home, the farm and the school, so
it could not be opened.
Many applications have been made
for admittance, and they are still com.
ing. DR.. Abercrombie is help
less to do anything without funds. The
people who are interested should see
to it that this much needed institution
should have the first attention of the
new legislature. The school cannot
function unless it has a fund for
maintenance. and it is up to the peo-
pie to see that the fund is forth
coming.
The needs of such an institution are
pressing. as it is estimated that about
3 per cent of the school population
are feeblcminded.

1F WERE KING I'D MAKE EVERY
 GIRL FIT TO BECOME MAYOR AT 18"
BY MARION HALE

NEW 1ORK-1frs. Percy Penny packer, chairman of the General Fed aration of Women's clubs, has a slo- gan:
 Every club a training camp for citi- 
 Mrs. Pennybacker has been putting in her time studying citizenship and Americanization. She says that she finds fault. not with women alone. but is the matter with both; no ritual in the national life.
 Voting, says Mrs. Pennybacker, should become a part of a woman's in- stinctive knowledge toward the right and any woman who does not vote, or who does not take a first-hand interest in voting, is a traitor to her country.
 In Every Club
 Mrs. Pennybacker has mapped out course of study which she hopes to install in every woman's club through out the Union.
 The course embraces economies, his- tory, government, and not least of these, duty to the foreign born. In fact, this last is Mrs. Pennybacker's SISdteSl interest.
 Our aliens bring rich gifts" said Mrs. Pennybacked. We turn them away with q hostile look and a cheap nickname for each nationality. We make them citizens with as little cere- mony as if we were selling potatoes We take away their pride of race. and when the pride of race dies, the man dies
 Keep Traditions
 Mrs. Pennbacker would have club woman at every naturalization cere- mony. She says that the alien who be- comes a citizen should feel the dignity no less than the knights of old, who prepared for the rites of knighthood by days of fasting and prayer. She says that all traditions should be clung to by women in particular. as it is through the women of the land that beauty of the home becomes beau ty of the state.
 'If you are an American, or if you are of some other country, keep what ever you have, throw no memories away-accumulate" Mrs. Pennybacker said. If l were king, I'd make every girl fit to become mayor at 18.''

FIVE STRONG MEN FAIL TO LIFT I15-POUND WOMAN
 SHE ATTRIBUTES STRANGE POWER TO FOCUSED MIND"
lN. s. A. StaH SpeeiaI

NEW YORK-She weighs only 115 | pounds. but five men weighing any where from 150 to over 200 pounds, could not budge her from the floor.
 Her name is Miss Annie Abbott. She comes from Strathem. Ga, and is fam ous the world over as "The Georgia Magnet"
 How does she overcome natural laws? A dozen different theories have been advanced by Medical men, physi- cists, philosophers and believers in the occult, ranging all the way from jiu- jitsu to something approaching witch craft. Miss Abbott says she doesn't know.
 Ono other person in the .orld re- gently has become famous for perform ing a. similar feat. and that is Johnny Coulon. the American bantamweight boxer who has been undergoing scien- tific investigation of his resistance powers in Paris.
 The difference between my work and MT. Coulon's" said Miss Abbott, "is that I do not touch the person or per sons trying to move me, while MT. Coulon does.
 The secret of such contacts would seem, Miss Abbott explains. to be for the purpose of throwing the person trying to do the lifting off his balance.
 "The man does not live" Miss Abbott asserted, who can lift me. move, or ' my mind against it" ! This strange power has been hers since childhood.
 A Pillar of Salt ! q didn't understand it when it came | to me, or rather when I discovered had it." Miss Abbott said. T was only | 8 years old.
 My stepmother had a son, Charley$ about my age, and we used to squabble
 as children will.
 My own mother had taught me to
 read the Bible, and the story of Lots
 wife. who was turned into a pillar of salt, made a deep impression on me.
 "It seemed to me if l could turn 1 Charley into a pillar of salt would be avenged So I used to point my finger
 at him and scream: Charley, l am go-
 ing to turn you into pillar of salt! And finally I got to thinking 1T l
 willed it I could turn myself into pillar of salt. I used to tell my old
 black mammy that was pillar of salt and she could not lift me. Sure enough, she couldn't.

Loneliness Leads to Temptation


 Girls are usually content to bank evefything on their beauty I com mented. "Why not? Doesn't the world reward beauty as If it were the one necessary asset for a woman? Now. doesn't it?''

And they act as if they had acquired these wonders by their own endeavor. Why, they only happen to be born SO Is there any merit in that? My dear, sometimes think their chief claim upon the pop ular applause is the dexterity with which they save themselves from de- struction!'
 Martha concluded with a shiver Was it danger past or to come which made her shudder ever so slightly !? When she spoke again it was to turn q searchlight upon her own heart. Why can't I, decent married woman, accept a single social courtesy from a man?' she asked. AS if I knewi' because I'm prettyl My hair and eyes hamper me in my profession.

Care of Book Bindings


 If the leather bindings of books are rubbed with a little plain sweet oil the leather will not crack and break. There is a certain amount of animal oil left in all leather, and exposure to dust and air will in time cause 1t to evaporate. So books kept in open cases 'equire constant care.
 An excellent leather revfver is made by putting 1-3 cup of vinegar and 2-3 cup of boiled linseed oil in bottle and shaking until the consistency of cream. Rub little of this into the leather and polish with soft cheese cloth.
 Menu for Tomorrow
 BREAKFAST Stewed prunes, creamed dried beef. corn mullins, coffee.
 LUNCHEON-Chees patties. apple celery-nut salad. tea.
 DINNER-Pork chops baked with apples. mashed sweet potatoes, seal loped tomatoes, French endive, rice pudding, coffee.
 My Own Recipes
 For some reason unknown to woman men seem fond of rice pudding. Plain rice pudding. full of raisins. eaten with sugar and cream, is 9 very nourishing dessert and should be served only after a light meat course such as chops or fish.
