We were right. We were right
Our Doctor did believe with Grammlo
and me that q man should be not left
in his crib all the time and not be taken
up and loved at all. And she has said
that when l am not asleep taking me

The Doctor says that II Is harmful for
babies to be logged up and down and
tossed into the air and rocked too siren
uously and all that but that when folks
found out that excess handling was
harmful for babies. they went 10 the
opposite extreme and thought we had
better not be handled at all. Now, we
know the middle course Is best, as 1t
is in all other things.
Doctor says that whenever she thinks
Of those dear little babies in the Bal
kan States, bound so tight in their too
small cradles-a lot Of them not even
taken up when they are nursed-it
makes her heart ache. She used to
find their flesh all raw from chatting,
and their little chests and heads de-
formed from the binding and the pres
sure of staying in one position too long.
One day when she was talking TO the
mothers who had brought their babies

When he protested they frightened their
hold and tried to express by their man
ner an assurance that all was well. The
puzzled sheepherder wondered IL he
were drea ming.
The party stepped from a dark grove
into the circle OF an Indian camp and
the sheepherder saw the wigwams
grouped close to fire. In front OF the
largest, alone and radiant. stood the
Indian girl The chief. her father. rose
to greet the stranger.
with the little English that the CHIEF
knew and the smattering Of Cree that
was the sheepherder's. and with great
deal Of gesticulatlon, an understanding
was reached. The white man was to
marry the girl and the tribe was pre-
pared for the ceremony. The girl, the
tents, and the tall Indians wavered In
the fiickering light Of the fire and
blurred in tho velvet shadows beyond
AS out OF a dream the stern face Of the
chief was thrust. and 1t alone WAS real.
Tho sheepherder threw OF his be-
wilderment and saw himself the center
Of an intet and determined circle. He
saw the Indian maid. proud and abashed
thought Of his longings OF an hour
before and gave but moment to con-
sideration Of the consequences Of re-
fusal. He nodded to tho chief and
walked toward his bride.
In the Indian style they were married
with the flames roaring and the chants
echoing In the trees. The sheepherder
took an Indian name and an Indian wife
and became for all time squaw man.
And how do you account for It ALI"
I asked Of Ed Rogers when he told me
this part OF his story.
Rogers smiled and looked toward his
porch where his wife was playing with
their daughter.

PRESIDENT BRITAIN
PRAISES SUMTER SCHOOL

Former State Superintendent Of
School NJ L. Britain, has been one
of the most interchangeable workers
in the cause of education. Although
he is now president of the Georgia
School of Technology he has not for
gotten how to do some good work
for Sumter county.
A few days ago the chairman of
Sumter county board of education
asked him to aid in procuring for
Sumter schools a share in the dstri-
button of the Smith-Iughes fund.
Sumter is now without a single rura1
school sharing in this fund
Mr.. Britain in a letter on the sub.
ject, has the following to say about
Sumter schools:
within the last few years, Sum-
ter county has made splendid prog
ress in the consolidation of the rural
school work. They maintain fifteen
trucks and nine months school for
all their white children. They arc
beginning to do equally well for the
colored people, and have just started
two colored industrial schools for
nine months in each year. Sumter
is one of the leading agricultural
counties in the state, and we should,
without question, have Smith
Hughes agricultural teacher in this
county. / shall appreciate the favor
if you and Mr.. Shaffer will look aft
err this personally, meet with the
Sumter county authorizes, and see
that they get this worker. I know
that Walter Hill will cooperate with
you, and by working together, we
can get something done that will be
of real value. sa.s

More than $4,000 feet Of film
were exposed during the making Of
Polish Wives" the million dollar
picture coming to the RyIander the
alter Friday and Saturday 1t would
take 81 hours, or almost three days
and three nights, to show such
length of film at the rate of speed
to which moving picture patrons are
accustomed. Therefore, Universal
has trimmed the picture, using only
the best parts of it, to 10000 feet,
which takes about two hours. It
took Erich Won Stroheim and his
company exactly twelve months to
photograph the picture. Cutting and
editing it to the desired breyity took
an additional six months.
