Don't STOP PROSPERITY

F the! forces of prosperity are left undis-
turbed, the coming autumn should brim
with bounties for every group and every
interests of the American people. Basic in
dustries all point to that probability. Agri-
cultural values, once sorely depressed, have
recovered since the first of the year to such
an extent that the farmers increased buy
ing-power has quickened almost every cur
rent of trade. Steel mills. once reduced to
snails pace of their wonted business, are
now described as hardly able to keep abreast
Of orders. Lumber mills, for the most part,
are running at full capacity and are "sold'
for months ahead. Manufactures which are
at stage of seasonal inactivity look conf
IDENTIFY to brisk times coming on, and are en-
couraged by the general firmness of prices.
These and divers other fields Of funda-
mental nature bear witness to a prosperity
that is deep-rooted and that needs only to
be left to normal growth to yield abundant
harvest.
How peculiarly grievous, then, if that
growth should be interrupted and perhaps
destroyed at the very moment the country's
hope begins to beat high after long doubt
and depression! 1t was only twelvemonth
ago, a trained business observer points
out in correspondence to The Journal, that
millions of men wanted work and could not
find it. But now, he adds, "The most i'm
minent danger to prosperity is from men
who can work if~they wi3L, to do SO, but
who are voluntarily idle or are not opposed
to becoming so. Farm products cannot be
sent to market without workers. Building
construction, which is booming, cannot con-
tinue without labor and artisans. And more
than all, factories and railroads cannot run
without coal.'' The situation IL the more
critical in this aspect because on July the
first there will become effective a reduction
of freight rates which is expected to set large
tides of lsiness flowing. But If the wheels
of transportation should be locked and if
the fuel Oh which so great part Of indus
trial life depends should be withheld, then
instead of that new business pouring forth
in nationwide enrichment there would be a
reaction from the shock CT which all would
suffer.
May that misfortune be happily averted,
as it essuredly will be if prudent and just
counsels prevail. Not dissension, but CO.
operation is the way to prosperity for every
American at this important juncture. The
days now at hand will make history for
months, mayhap for years to come. The
stake is too vital, both to the individual and
to the common veal for any hazards of hasty
action or unseasored judgment.

ANDREW AND IMOGENE

"What is in that package out in the

dinner.
Summer Shirts" replied Andrew.
"I wish you would let me pick your shirts,
honey" replied his wife, anxously.
'"No," replied Andrew. "I have been do

He cut the string and pulled out the top
one. "This is what the man at the haber-
dashery called the spring rainbow, you see
the colors blend into one another like the
colors Of the solar spectrum"
He held the shirt up admiringly for her
to look at.
"The shirt is mispamed," sneered Imo-
gene. "The solar system never had that
many colors in it unless they have discov-
cred some new ones since studied physics,
You can wear that shirt when you go fish,

"And this one with the alternating stripes

"The man who designed that shirt waa

"And these others?" asked Andrews
spreading them over the table.

'"They are summer shirts, and, OF course,
you will not be wearing vest, and I simply
will not believe that you will show that
much of any one of these shirts at one
time"
"Then will not have to take them back
and exchange them," said Andrew with re-
lief.
"You mean you will have to take them
down and exchange them, do you \not?"
"I do not" said Andrew, with emphasis.
ST think they are the worst looking things

YEARLY.
"WeIl, that is the reason am not going
to take 'em back" said Andrew. "The
haberdasher told me that If you liked 'em
he would exchange them for me for some
thing you did not like. He said that the
best way for a man to pick his haberdash-
cry was to always take the things his wife
did not like. He says that you women do,
not like for your husbands to look nifty like

that it takes shirts like these to make US

trail Asia we of this young western world
are but taking filial interest in the homeland
of our continents life. For from Asia, &C
cording to such evidence as survives, came
the earliest wanderers into what is now the
United States-at what far time of the
earth's dim past, there is no reckoning; and
whether by land-ways which since have sunk,
or by canoes drifting across ocean wastes, or
perhaps by both, is conjectural. It is gen.
orally acknowledged, however, that the ma
tives found upon these shores by the Euro
pean discoveries of the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries were of Asiatic origin, and
that probably from the same source came a
number of our animal and vegetable types.
The third Of a series of Central Asiatic ex-
petitions under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History is now in the
thick of explorations in Central and Western
Mongolia. It's leader, Mr.. Roy Chapman
Andrews, writes in a recent number of
SCIENCE: "It is the consensus of scientific
opinion that the Central Asian plateau, in
Guiding Thibet, Chinese Turkestan and Mon
golia, was not only the point of origin and
distribution for many forms of animal life
which exist today in America, Europe and
many parts of the world, but was also the So
called cradle of the human race Although
its important relation to human ancestry
has long been recognized, no co-ordinated
scientific Investigation has ever been con-

innate relations to the ancestry of man, and
it is with reference to this problem, which
is of worldwide interest that the expedition

The preceding expeditions sent by the
American Museum of Natural History to

but do lot fade, and the tightly woven fabric
wears like iron. Old woven strips that were
roughly used as saddle blankets by the In

noisseurs scour the southwest country, even
as far as Mexico, for old products of the

A valuable private collection is owned by

available for the white man who could dis

long and active interest in Navajo weaving.
The general became fascinated by the art
Of the Navahos shortly after the Civil War.
Later, senator, he was a member of the
Indian affairs committee, and made number
of trips to the west to see hat the Indians
were treated fairly by their agents. On these
trips he continued his practice of buying
blankets to encourage the production of this
beautiful craft work Old Chief Joseph and
other chiefs helped him to add to his col

comparatively few male weavers sold the

Keeling Farm, Accounts

~ EORGIA we'll may take note tnat
twenty-four States Of the North and
West now employ, each, thirty spe-
cialists in farm-manag cement extension WORK.
As the Gwinnett Journal sums it, county
agents in eight hundred and thlrty-1Ne
counties report that they have distributed
upwards of ffty-one thousand farm &C
count books; five hundred and nineteen
counties reported eighteen thousand Tour
hundred and forty-eight books kept; Whlle
four hundred and forty-four reported that
eight thousand four hundred and flfty-tour
farmers were assisted in summarizing thelr
accounts 1t appears, moreover, that IN
some three thousand counties farmers, as a
direct result of keeping accounts made
changes in their methods of operation-and
it scarcely need be said that they were
profitable changes. Within single twelve
month more than eight hundred farm
account schools, with attendance OF
twenty thousand, were held, so marked was
the interest in this instruction.
Now that Georgia is adopting co-opera-
tive systems of marketing agricultural
products, the account keeping which has
proved so advantageous in the North and
the West should appeal particularly to her
farmers and should render them especially
valuable service.

A HEALTH HINT
BY II. Addington Bruce


TT o the alert and progressive business man
of today punctuality is more than good
; habit, it is virtue. He has set time
for beginning work, and day after day he be-
gins work precisely at, that time. When he
makes appointments with other people he
keeps these appointments to the minute.
Only some unforeseen emergency causes
him to be late. If he is late from any cause
whatsoever he feels uncomfortable and guilty
He may become SO perturbed that his efficiency
for the rest of the day is lowered
Yet, oddly enough, in too many cases the
modern business man fails to see that it is
even more important to be punctual in matters
relating to the conservation of his health than
in the keeping of business engagements. And
this failure is shared by many besides business
men.
Many, for example, fail to appreciate that their
Stomachs demand and expect punctuality with
regard to meal times.
1.-THE stomach" as remarked by one eminent
health specialist, "gets into the habit of secret
ing its digestive juice at certain times, as meals
fall due. If it does not meet with the food il
has come to act upon, it will seize upon the
stomach wall and cause nauseous sense of
sinking.
"This will probably be followed by a head
ache, for the gastric juice, which is one of our
vital agents, is nothing less than an rriant poi
son if it has no work to do"
Irregularity in the eating of meals is, in
short, potent cause both of occasional and of
chronic dyspepsia. And if dyspepsia is one of
the commonest of maladieS in our day it is
largely because, in the stress and hustle of
twentieth century life, failure to meet the
stomach's requirement of punctuality is
exceedingly common.
So, too, as regards the common malady of in
Somnia.
The brain has its punctuality demand, even
as the stomach. In especial it gets into the
habit of expecting to be rested through sleep at
certain hour. For some people this hour is
9 o'clock, for others 10, for others II.
Let a person retire punctually at his Gus
tomary bedtime hour and sleep promptly comes
to him. But let him begin to keep later hours
several nights week, and the brain may take
its revenge by refusing to permit him to sleep
promptly when he does retire at his wonted
time.
If he then begins to fuss and worry over the
failure. to sleep promptly he will find it in
creasingy difficult to sleep at all. Ere long a
most distressing insomnia habit may be
definitely established.
In other persons failure to be punctual in at
tending to the elimnative needs of their bodies
may establish habit of constipation. Nor are
these by. any means the only ways in which
organic impunctuality leads to the imposition
of penalties-penaltieS that may turn out to be
far more severe than any imposed as a result OF
impunctuaty in business matters.

When Sherman, after his march from AT

Fayetteville, N. c., while his engineers threw
a. temporary bridge across swollen creek,
the Confederates in falling back having de-
stroyed the only bridge which spanned the
stream. The retreating southern army mad
left behind in Fayetteville population
made up almost altogether of women, chill

old for service.
In response to a call, practically all Of
these older men gathered at the courthouse
to discuss such measures as might be taken
for the protection of the town in view OF
the approach of the invaders and the pros
pect that, within a few hours, the place
would be entered. Various expedients for
saving the town from the fate which already
had overtaken Atlanta and Columbia were
discussed. But none of them seemed feas-

to fill her thoughts, and occupy her time. TO
the woman engaged in agreeable work, mat
rimony Is not necessity. 1t is luxury with
out which she can do quite comfortably.
If a woman does marry, her safety is not
assured. There are many good men who
have not the gift of money making, and who
can never support their families in decent
comfort. Often a man who has been pros
porous in business dies, leaving no estate.
Sickness smites down other men, and mil
lions of women find themselves with little
children clinging to heir skirts, suddenly
called upon to become bread winners for
hungry little mouths.
What a tragedy then if the woman is ut
terly unframed; if she has no wares that are
marketable; if she knows nothing of the ways
of the business world! But if she has any
merchantable skill, if she has any trade or
art which she can fall back upon, if she can
go back to her old job, the situation is robbed
of its despair. The competent woman simply
shoulders her burden and marches on with
it without any wringing of helpless hands.
The woman who makes an unfortunate
marriage is never at the mercy of brute if
she knows how to make her own living. She
can always get up and leave whereas the
woman who is dependent upon her husband
for her food, and on the roof that shelters
her. and the clothes that cover, her, must
endure whatever indignities are put upon her,
or else starve. The man who is dastardly
enough to abuse ana insult a wife who is
dependent upon him will treat with respect
the wife who can go out and earn better
living for herself than he gives her.
Nothing Is such safeguard against temp

Every girl wants the finery that enhances her

SEX AND COMMON SENSE
By DR.. Frank Crane


Miss A. .Maude Roydenis the assistant preach
er at the City Temple, London.
She is the only woman mentioned among the
high religious lights in the volume "Painted

"The Gentleman With the Duster."
She has just published book in New York
and London entitled, "Sex and Common Sense

instinct it can be carried too far and do pre-
cisely the harm it intends to avoid
Most books on, this topic pay too much at
tenton to perverSionS and depravitieS and not
enough to normalty.
"Ordinary men and women" says Miss Roy
len, "want first to know how to live ordinary
human lives on higher level and after no.
bier pattern than before, and we believe the
first essential is to realize that the sex problem
as it is called. is the problem of something no.

vine wisdom on which noraliStS could, if they
had only been consulted in time, greatly have
improved. 1t is thing noble in essence. 1t is
the development OF the higher, not the lower
creation"
The book keeps this tone up right through
and is a sound and wholesome effort to treat
this problem, not as some dreadful numbo-
jumbo heather tabu, but as a great and deter
mining factor of life.
In this matter knowledge may have slain its
thousands, but ignorance has certainly slain its
tens of thousands.
Some day or other we must outlive the no
ton that ignorance has anything to do with
holiness and must get to the point where W.

and loyalty and of reverence.
