on the street. lust to get rid of him, and
she hurts and humiliates and al1enates the
affections of the bewildered little creatures,
who don't know why mother screams at tnem
about nothing, and does not seem to love
them.
They don't know THAI aVl that is the mat
ter with mother is that she is over-worked,
and worn out. and that her nerves are raw,
and she is fed up with/an overdose OF family
life. All that she needs is to get aay from
the mfor while. and to get rested. TheD
she would be their adorable mother again,
and able really to do her duty as mother.
Every woman knows in her secret soul tnaC
there are times when sch wonders why she
ever as fool enough to marry, and have pa
bies, hen she almost hates her children, and
feels that she wishes that she never could
hear again another little voice alllng
"Mo-o-other," or feel another little hand
clutching her skirts. Then it is that her eX-
hausted nerves make her treat her children
as if she were the cruel stepmother OF tradl-
ton.
Even one weeks absence from them
changes her whole perspective, and makes
motherhood the most glorious career that
any woman can achieve, and the cry OF
"Mo-o-other'' becomes the music of the
spheres in her ears.
Therefore for her chi1drens sake, if not
for her own, every woman should separate
herself from them every now and then, Tor
time long enough to enable her to get herself
together, and to be able to deal Win tnem
with a mothers loving heart, instead OF a
mothers raSped nerves.
Employers find that it pays to give their
employees vacation because the employe
comes bac kto his job after a change and rest
with fresh interest and new pep. Surely
mothers who have the most important job in
the world in their hands to perform would
benefit by the same remedy.
That married people should take their va
cation separately is too obvious to need in
sisting upon. No matter how much hus-
band and wife love each other, they pail upon
each other in the course of a >tWelve-nfonth,
and come to be as tiresome to each other as
a twice-told tale.
You acnnot look at the same face across
the breakfast table for three hundred and
sxty-five days without perceiving every de-
feet in it. You cannot hear the same person
talk for three hundred and sixty-five days
and nights, hand running, without getting
bored, and the one and only remedy is
change It's absence that makes the heart
grow fonder an dthat is teh best known pre-
ventive of divorce.
Hence, urge every woman who values her
own health and happiness and the welfare
of her family, to take her casation alone, but
add a word of caution. Go, but do not
stay too long. Stay just long enough for your
husband and children to realize that they
need you but not long enough for them to
find out that they can get along without
you.

The General Rise n, Business
IT. HAT far-seeing captain of industry,
Charles M. Schwab, states an impor-

tant business truth of the times when
he says that it Is not the rise here and the
dip there which mark the real progress of
industry in the United States, but ''the gen.
eral ascent of lines of averages"
Some points there are at which prosperity
strides forward in seven-league boots, and
others where it sorely lags. But the signifi-
cant, the encouraging evidence is in that
steady pace of development now observed in
every region and in well-nigh every field of
business This is far more to be welcomed
than advances sudden and swift, for it tells
of strength that is lasting General improve
ment in even a small degree is preferable
to gushes here and there, not only because
more people share in the former, but also
because it springs from deeper and more de-
pendable sources.
There is decided betterment today in the
basic realms of American industry, and
therefore betterment widely felt. Steel
production, steadily on the increase since the
first of the year, continues vigorously to-
ward the high prosperity levels of a few
years past. Building operations continue
markedly active. Railroad shops through
out the country" runs a current dispatch
'are showing increased work and larger pay
rolls, for the railroads are fighting for
freight and are finding freight to fight for"
This is of much import both because of the
multitudes Of employees concerned and be-
cause of the larger volume of buying and sell
ing which the larger amount of freight traf-
| fic attests. To these and like evidences from
the chief channels of industry and commerce
add the gains in agricultural values, and it is
plain that the improvement in business is
deep-seated.
A general ascent Of the lines of averages
is ever an omen of still better times ahead
Thus keen observers are cheered not only
" present coalitions as contrasted with
those of a twelvemonth gone, but also by the
promise of richer gains in the coming au-
tumn.

Good for Cotton Growers and
Manufacturers Alike

is highly and happily significant that the
south's textile leaders, at their recent an
nual meeting in Washington, heartily COM
mended cooperative marketing of cotton.
The convention declared, as reported by the
Manufacturers Record, that Gin its judg-
ment this would tend to stabilizez prices
through orderly distribution" and also ITO
assure an adequate supply, at fair prices
In the same resolution it was affirmed that
the growers of cotton are entitled to just
return upon their labor and investment.
The observation-disclosures thus revealed is
characteristic of Southern industrial inter-
ests, and is prophetic Of the time when the
producers and the manufacturers of this re-
gion's distinctive staple crop will work TO-
gether for their common good. That tlme
indeed, Is already at hand in certain lmpor-
tant particulars. The Journals invest1ga-
ton, early in the year, of cooperative cotton
marketing in the Southwest disclosed the IN
teresting and not altogether expected TACT
that extensive buyers and exporters OF COT.
ton were among the cordial approvers OF
the plan They praised the dependability
of the selling associations and welcomed the
opportunity Of procuring carefully graded
cotton in large quantities. without resort to
tedious, Iong-drawn and expensive methods
of buying.
Georgia well may De grained tnat SIG
now has a Cotton Growers Cooperative AS
ISOLATION for this purpose, organized upon
approved lines and literally supported by
conservative fnanciers and by the Govern
ment. A loan of five million dollars for the
approaching season from banks Of this city
was recently announced by the atlanta Clear
ing House Association, and another OF ;1ree
million from the War Finance Corporation is
considered assured. That the cooperative
system of selling will rebound to the advan-
tage of the Georgia growers who avail them
selves thereof and will enlist more and more
of them as summer wears toward autumn is
foregone. Moreover, it will serve the ulti-
mate and best interests of Georgia manufac-
turers as we'll, and will make for the pros
perity of the whole Commonwealth.

THIS is the vacation time of the year,
and want to urge every woman, and
- especially every wife and mother, to
take a little holiday, whether she can afford
it or not.
And by taking holiday, I don't mean
going off somewhere with the whole family,
who ar a thousand times more of burden
abroad than they are at home. I mean
breaking away from the family and from
home, and home duties, and home cares, and
getting off somewhere alone.
OF course, the average woman will say
that this is an utter impossibility. She can
conceive the thought of leaving her husband
for a week or two, but the idea of going
away from her precious, darling children,
and consigning them to the care of others,
fills her with horror. She feels that they
would wither away and die if her eye were
not perpetually on them.
All of hich is sheer nonsense. None Of us
are so necessary to our families as we sup
pose, as is proven by the fact that somehow
or other they get along without us if we
happen to die. 1t is just our vanity that
makes us think that we can't be spared even
by those nearest and dearest to us.
Also when you tell the average woman
that she should take vacation she is shock
ed at the idea of doing a thing that she re-
CARDS as selfish, and cruel, and it is hard to
convince her that her going away from her
family for a space of time is the kindest, and
most altruistic thing she can possibly do for
it. She can't realize that her holiday gives
her husban dand the children holiday also,
because it makes a break in their routine OF
daily life, and gives them the interest of a
change even if it isn't a change for the bet
ter
There is no other work in the world so
monotonous as that of the domestic woman
in moderate circumstances. There is no
other laborer on earth who tolls such long
hours, for her work begins in the morning
an hour or two before the balance of the
family is up, and continues long after they
are in bed. The mother of little children
never knows what it is to have nights I'M
broken rest. She is always burdened with
cares and anXieties. She is always worn with
the struggle of tryin.' to make one dollar do
the work of five, am she spends her days in
the midst of a turmoil of childish quarrels
and squabbIes, and cries that would make a
boiler factory seem like a rest cure.
Such woman endures a daily ordeal that
wears down the strongest constitution, and
reduces the nerves to fiddle strings, and the
result is that she inevitably becomes peev-
ish and fretful, and irritable and about as
soothing to live with as a porcupine.
She nags at her husband and children. She
is cross and unreasonable with them. She is
grouchy and grumpy, and slaps the baby, and
shakes Mary and sends Johnny out to play

Dr.. Britain, S High Serv;ce
O every well wisher Of public education
in Georgia the announcement by DR..

in Georgia the announcement by Dr.
M L. Britain, state superintendent of
schools that at the end of the current year
he will give up that important post brings pc
culiarly keen regret. So apt and devoted has
been his service, so able his discharge Of diff
ficult duties, his policies so forward-minded,
his leadership so fruitful that the Common
wealth came, quite naturally, to think of
him and his office as one Appointed some
twelve years ago, he has been elected by the
people six times in succession, never in con-
sequence of political campaigning but always
upon his merits as an educator and a man.
Indeed, the servilities and strategems of pol
itics have had no place in his career; save
in that he ha- fearlessly combated whatsoever
sought to practice them at the expense of ed
vocational truth and progress.
During the twelve years of Superintendent
Brittain's fncumbency the schools have grown
and gone forward as never before. The fact
that the funds expended for sheir mainte-
nance and promotion have increased from
two and quarter million dollars in 1910 to
fourteen and half million at the close Of
1921 is in itself significant But figures
leave unreckoned those higher and eternal
values in which the human ends of educa-
ton are brought to harvest. In the widened
opportunities of multitudes Of young lives, in
the quickened vision of hundreds of COM
munities, in the enrichment OF minds and the
lifting up Of ideals, is writ the true history
of our common schools. And in those happy
annals tne name OF M u. brlttaln Will ever
live and shine His undiscouraged and at
last victorious leadership in the long battle
for compulsory school attendance, and for
statewide local school taxation would in it.
self alone mark his administration as
epochal; and besides these, numerous other
achievements hardly less notable stand to
his credit. With such a record at home, it
is a matter Of course that he stands high in
the councils of national educational endeavor.
Regretful as they are to lose his services
at the head of an especially important de-
partment Of the state, the people of Georgia
are heartily apprecative of the enduring
character of the work he has done therein
and of the foundations he has laid. That his
future lot will be cast among them is their
earnest hope. But wherever duty call him he
will be followed by their cordial and con-
slant good will.

THE EYES IN SUMNER
By H. Addington Bruce
this season of the year-season Of va

this season of the year-season Of va
~ cation outings to seashore and noun
n tains of automobile tours, and cross
country walks-it is we'll to recall that the
conservation of ones eyesight is much more
than a matter of reading and sewing in a
good light, Civ nC the eyes frequent rests
from close work, etc.
Undue and unwise use of the eyes for near
vision is by no means the only cause of an
eye-stran that may have serious conse-
quences. Eye-strain nay equally result from
making unhygienic demands on the eyes as
regards far vision. And special perils to the
eyes may lurk in the winds, dust, and glare
of the open country.
There are people who appreciate this so
little that they will sit for hours gazing
through a summer haze at distant landscapes
or enjoying views of sands and waters on
which summer sun is beating. Others think
nothing Of riding all day in a swiftly NOV
ing automobile, compelling their unpro-
tected eyes to take in the beauties OF the
ever-changing roadside, the while withstand
ing stresses of wind and dust and glare COM
bined.
When the day is done these haze gazers
seashore devolves, and touring enthusiasts
wonder why their eyes are Redeemed and ach-
ing BY way of a rem ody they perhaps wash
them with boric acid solution, which is I'M
deniabIy soothing and helpful to tired, in
famed eyes.
But better far, if one feels that one must
day after day subject ones eyes to wind and
dust and glare is thoir safeguarding by the
use of colored spectacles, of goggles, of wells
free from dots and figured patterns which
themselves may be provocative Of eye-strain.
The wearing of a broad-brimmed hat with
the brim drawn down over the eyes when
ever one is exposed to a glazing sunlight, is
another protective measure, available to all
and for many indispensable. And even when
wearing such hat, eye conservation insists
none should sit facing the sun, whether in
doors or out.
Neglect such precautions and the outcome
may be more than the milder symptoms Of
eye-strain. Many a person has had to cut
his or her vacation short because Of the SEEM
ingly inexplicable development of severe
headaches, vertigo, and perhaps nausea, later
found to be due to nothing but reckless ex-
posure of the eyes to conditions they were
unable to endure.
would add, too, for the benefit Nof vaca-
tionists and tourists who cannot always be
sure of finding abiding places Of sanitary ex-
celence:
Take along supply Of towels Of your own,
if only paper towels There still are inns
and boarding places where the roller towel
is in vogue, and to dry ones face with a
towel others have used may result in a dan
gerous eye-infection.
For the same reasonable ris1l of eye-in-
fection-make it rule never to rub your
eyes with your fingers. In the course OF the
day your hands of necessity touch many OBJ
jects, and on these may be germs productive
of great trouble if transmitted to the eyes.

M 1t flew athwart flash Of lightning?
The question, long of interest to
students of aeronautics, appears to have been
answered, in part at least, by the recent ex-
perience of Captain E. D. G. Herne, British
aviator engaged in cross-Channel plotting. 1t
was while speeding aloSg the airway to Paris
at one hundred miles an hour, that he saw
heavy thunderclouds above the French coast.
ssHe was skirting these" as related by the
London Daily Mail, when suddenly he saw
two or three vivid flashes of lightning near
his machine. The aeroplane seemed to shud-
der and hesitate; then, recovering itself rap
Idly, continued smoothly in flight. Captain
Herne called up the nearest land station by
wireless telephone, and asked whether they
thought the trailing wire of his apparatus
might be connected in any way with the phe-
nomenon. They advised him to wind 1t IN
temporarily, which he promptly did"
1t has been conjectured that lightning
would GLOW around an aeroplane and down
it's wireless aerial" thence continuing earth
ward without harm to the craft. And this,
it would seem, is what happened in the case
of Captain Herne.
