"USED" THOUGHTS

EMERSON, wisest of all American
essayists, says somewhere that
every man must sooner or later make
up his mind that he and no one else
must determine his future.
We can learn from others knowledge
methods, even wisdom.
Other men can teach US how to
think, as they can teach us how to
swim or play golf.
We all employ great deal of
thought that is not our own. That
must be, for we should be foolish not
to profit by the accumulated wisdom
of those who have gone before
But these used thoughts while we
must at times employ them, serve not
at all to develop our minds.
And while we might get along fairly
well through life without original
thought. we should die little wiser than
when we began. and contribute moth
ing whatever TO, the progress of the
world.
All that is of value in education is
learning how to think.
From biography we derive G great
deal, but most of it consists in know
ing how other men thought. and how
their thought made their careers.
If we carry all our problems to 9th
ers to solve for us, we shall some day
be confronted with great problem
and lack the understanding of how to
graphic with it.
And in that time there win be no
one To help us, and we shall meet with
a failure that may change for the
worse the course of our lives
Most of us will do anything rather
than think. for thinking is labor Of the
hardest kind.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"WELsH RABBIT"

THE name of the dish COM
- posed of melted cheese with
the addition of sundry sauces
and piquant flavorings is usually
spelled ''rarebit"-an error due
to the fact that persons who
could see no resemblance be-
tween their favorite midnight
repast and a hare which came
from Wales concluded that it
must be a rare bit" Even
Worcester and Webster were
formerly guilty of this mistake,
until an examination of Con-
tinental colloQuialisms showed
them where they erred.
Welsh rabbit" is dyed-fn-
the-wool slang term, belonging
TO the same class as a consider
able number of other, but less
well-known names applied to
the favorite dishes of various
communities. In England, for
example, they refer to a Sleeps
head stewed with onions as
German duck" while bag
pudding is a "Leiscestershire
plover" and Norfolk capon" is
eatinghouse slang for a herring:
Following the. same school of
rough wit, the French call a
herring "poulet de careme" or
"Lenten chicken" and the
Italians reverse this process, re-
ferring to a chicken as a "f1sh
out of the coop" Nor is the
custom by any means confined
to European countries. The New
England habit of speaking of
Goldfish as "Cape Cod turkeys"
and the current slang Of Irish
confetti" for bricks are two
other examples from the same
school.
So Welsh rabbit" it should
remain-on account Of the fCnd.
ness of the Welsh for toasted
: cheese and not because it Is a
rare bit, or delicacy.

CITIES TO CARRY
BURDEN OF BONDS
Auto Owners Must Pay For
Highway Issue Under Pro-
- posed Plan

ATLANTA, May 30.-That what
ever doubts may have existed as to
the feasibility and value of the pro-
posed $75,000,000 bond issue for
Georgia good roads are being rapid
~ swept away as the public becomes
more familiar with the facts is being
indicated by the pledges of support
for the bond bill which are being re-
ceived daily at the Offices of the Geor-
gia Good Roads association. Letters
are being received in number from
leading citizens all over the state,
expressing their belief in the bond
issue as the only <lequate method of
providing the whole state with good
roads, rledging their support, and de-
claring their county representatives
will stand back of the bill at the
approaching session of the legisla-
ture.
The only objection offered to the
bond issue which has attracted any
attention is that it will raise taxes,
but the general public appears now
to understand that the constitutional
amendment provides expressly that
these bonds must be retired from the
proceeds of automobile licenses and
tax on gasoline. The burden of the
bonds will be carried entirely by the
automobile owner, who will derive
the largest direct benefit, and who is
heartily supporting the bond issue.
The cities, where such great pro-
portion of cars and trucks is owned,
will pay the major share of the bills.
1t now appears that but slight oppo-
sition, if any, will be shown in either
house of the general assembly.
Several meetings are being held
in various parts of Georgia this week
where the public is given opportunity
to question the speakers as to any
detail of the proposed bond issue.
Judge G. H. Howard speaks in Man
chester today, introduced by Mrs.
Ely Galloway, of LaGrdhge, under
the auspices of the Federated Wo-
mems clubs. Judge Howard address,
ed large audience yesterday at
Waycross, where "Made-in- Georgia
Week" is being celebrated.
T. G. Farmer, Jr., managing di-
rector of the Good Roads association,
speaks Saturday at Hartwell, where
he will be introduced by President D.
C. Afford, of the Hartwell bank. He
will address a big meeting at Syl-
vania on June 10Th, under the aus
pieces of the Screven County Chamber
of Commerce.
Memberships in the Georgia Good
Roads association, oIen to any Geor-
gian interested in the improvement
of the state highway system, are be-
ing issued this week for the first
time. The association desires to .ex-

Immediately he saw Fanny.
Bathed in a great glare, she sat in
her dressing room facing q long mir

she possessed, groomed to the finest

As if hypnotized by so much
bright loneliness, she continued
steadfastly to gaze upon her reflected
self; even when she heard Lontaine

did not move by so much as a
trembling eyelash.
