The Bio Fair

~ nee more Lakewood is the Mecca to-
I J ward which the feet of Atlanta and
OF Georgia and of the South are
turning, and the report is that sufficient
number Of feet already have turned thither
to assure record-breaking attendance at
the southeastern Fair this season, if any
thing like the patronage of the first three
days is maintained through the coming
week.
A great institution, the Southeastern
Fair! And this time, as usual, it is bigger
and better than ever.
The combination is wholesome, sensible
and irresistible Set out in a permanent
home, of rare natural beauty to which has
been added commodious and pleasing archi-
lecture, the great show includes every
element of agricultural and Industrial in
terest, judiciously mingled with examples
of art, and interspersed with the attractive
lines OF sport and the buoyant brands of
entertainment and amusement.
The big fair appeals to all. There you may
find everything from prize hogs to horse
racing; from fancy-work to fireworks; from
blooded stock to scenic railways. Vaude-
Vile is on tap. Pageantry is not omitted.
It is the beloved old county fair magni-
fled and expanded upbelievably, yet with the
old holiday spirit retained. Day and night,
there is plenty to do and plenty to see.
Do you fancy running horses that can do
a mile in 1:4O, or do you prefer the only
diving horse in existence? You find both,
at the fair. = So.
Is your fancy giant steers or Belgium
midgets? Ferocious lions or pouter pigeons?
Farm machinery or whirligigs? Pies or pigs
or pyrotechnics? They're all at the fair.
And then there's the atmosphere of the
fair. Nothing else just like tan inspiring
combination of circus day and racingday
and of that wonderful day (if you are a
hiddle-aged person) when you clicked the
turnstile at the Cotton States Exposition here
in 1895. Sober and serious persons find
an endless interest in the products of farm
and stable and stall; of factory and field,
And the youngsters, who always need to
be accompanied by an incredible number of
oldsters, find amazing things in the Won
der-houses of the exposition.
Something for everybody, at the South
eastern air. Planned Oh a giant scale, it
has made for itself vast niche in the
scheme of things in Atlanta and Georgia
and this entire section.
No wonder everybody watches for it
eagerly, from the end of one October to the
beginning of the next. October is the fair
month of Georgia.

THIS is THE LIFE-By Helen Rowland

"Goodby, Summer!"-Tosti was wrong
Those are not sad words. They are JOY
Gus words!
Goodby, heat and mosquitoes, and folly and
hotel bills, and discomfort and boredom!
Hail Autumn-sWeet Autumn
When the whiting spirit lifts up its weary
head-and BREATHES again.
When we put our flimsy, frivolous senti-
ments and fancies away with our flimsy,
frivolous summer clothes-and shake the
love-moths out Of our hearts and lives.
When we smooth the soothing cream Oh
our sunburned foreheads and our tortured
shoulders, and pour the balm of hope upon
our jazz-weary souls.
When we put our gayer poses and our pet
ting parties and our lighter sins behind u.s.
and cheerfully do penance for our follies.
When we look back upon those silly fir
tations and sentimental experiments with a
little remorse-or a little regret.
When we say farewell to our summer loves
and friendships, with a sigh-of relief.
When we stop thinking of work as pun
ishment, and begin thinking of it as a Joy
and blessing!
Autumn is ALWAYS Observation-Disclosures
It's the Autumn Of the year, or the Autumn
of love, or the Autumn Of life!
Spring loves, like spring flowers, are sweet
but fragile-and doomed to wither 20 soon.
r It's the hard Autumn variety of either that
lasts and is satisfying.

Sav;,,o Babies Lives

~ ETHER tldlngS could not be found than
- the official reports showing that in
FAINT mortality in the United States
has been reduced from one hundred and six
per thousand births in 1918 to seventy-eight
per thousand in 1922, a decrease in the four
years OF more than twenty-seven per cent
Within the same period the number of State
bureaus devoted to child welfare has grown
from twenty-eight to forty-six.
These figures, announced by Mr. Herbert
Hoover in his address as retiring president
of the American Child Hygiene Association,
are the more significant in that they show
the results Of endeavors which have been, in
the main, altogether voluntary. Evidently
there has been great awakening to the needs
and the opportunities of conserving child
health and to community as we'll as parental
obligation. Milk inspection alone has saved
thousands of baby lives which, without such
services, would have paid the forfeit Of igno-
rance and neglect. Simple instruction in the
proper feeding of babies has saved thousands
more, and insured them against all manner of
future suffering or impairment Atlanta is
especially indebted to the Sheltering Arms
the Woman's CLUB, the Associated Charities,
the Antl-Tuberculosis Association and other
institutions that doing highly efficient as
well as beautifully earnest work in this basic
field of human betterment. They should be
encouraged and supported most generously
Far-reaching and effective as this country's
interest in child welfare has become, there is
still, as Mr.. Hoover says. much to be done
"The ideal to which we should strive" he
adds, sis that there should be no child in
America not born Under proper conditions,
that does not live in hygienic surroundings,
no child that ever suffers from under-nutri-
ton, that does not have prompt and efficient
medical attention and inspection, and that
does not receive primary instruction in the
elements of hygiene and good health" This
is none too high an ideal for a nation so pros
pered and blest as ours. May it be pursued
persistently and with enthusiasm in every
community beneath the flag.

THE SUBTLE GREENHORN
ny JOHN BRECK.

What a stir you make in the world when
when you stride through September pas
ture! How the army of insect invaders
flees before you as the stiff grasses rasp
their harsh protest, so different from the
yielding whisper Of the spring! You might
feel your pursuance if the cow grazing be-
hind you didn't raise greater one.
Besides, the tiny pale-green bugs with
long, serious faces and wings Tapped like
a peaked roof, which make up the rank
and file of the retreating foragers, merit
more attention than they usually get. It
somewhat abates our horror of their big
cousin, the cicada, to reflect that the wee
'1eaf-hoppers" destroy more than quar-
ter of all grass that grows. The summer
dryness is not all due to the sun; they
probably suck more than he can drain
from the clustering leaves on the hottest
day. The grass blades can turn edgewise
to cheat his thirsty rays, or droop their
tips into the shade, but so long as a stalk
is tied to it's root how can they escape
the piercing broboscis of the sap-drinkers?
And how in the name of ingenuity are
we to help them?
OF course some plants seem to help them
selves. Is that not why the wild parsnip
secretes a deadly sap, manufactures its
own bug poison? Or the mullen grows
fuzz on the backs of its leaves, where
it's pores open? Or the thistle, spines, to
hold them at beak's-length? Does the
sand-verbena ooze clamminess to make
herself unpleasant perching? 1t is hard
to judge the bugs reactions; a hopper is
so necessarily ION the hop" flea is SOM

at his tireless energy For he did not

He was rising, gorgeous as phoenix

of bright new varnish as he tipped up his

Business Garb of Femmes
A GOOD deal of advice is being preferred

A GOOD deal OF aQVlce is Delng prOHereu
~ hither and yon as to the clothing
business women should wear, and the
net result of it will be that business women
will continue to wear exactly what they
please-as nearly as they can pay for it.
At recent meeting in New York Of the
League of Business and Professional Women
"a somewhat formidable title-the question
Of dress was diseased, at times with some
evidences of warmth.
Business and professional women were
warned that they had the right to dress as
they listed and it was suggested that they
should not permit their preferences to be
diverted by what men cor women either
tn ought of their apparel
OF all the absurd warnings!
Without doubt business and professional
women will dress as they please, and their
preferences will not be outlined for them by
other business and professional women any
more than by men, and possibly not as much
good many business women go into bust
ness to acquire the means Of dressing as
they please.
There was a suggestion that business and
professional womel adopt uniform, but II
didn't get far.
Business women who like pretty clothes
will wear them and ought to wear them, par
ticularly if pretty clothes are becoming tt
them.

"It cannot be spring forever" thank
heaven! Nor summer either.
Spring is only the promise-Autumn is the
fulfillment.
Autumn-the golden, Indian Summer of
life, when we take our diplomas in the
School of Experience and really BEGIN to
live!
Autumn, when the head is COOL but the
heart is warm and ripe and mellow.
Autumn of Life, when the eyes are no
longer dazzled by the sun and the moon
but see clear and straight and wisely
When man is still young enough to feel
1ife's thrills-but not so young as to grow
heady and dizzy with love or ambition or
egotism;
When a woman is still young enough to
be charming, but not so young as to be fool
ish and headstrong;
When we still have our visions and our IL
1usions, without our youthful halucinations;
When we judge with our hearts and orr
mind ard our eyes wide open, and not with
our imaginatfons!
Autumn of the year, Autumn of love, Au-
tumn Of discrimination without intoxica-
ton!
Autumn-when We reap our harvest of
Happiness!
Goodby, Summer!
Hail, Autumn!
This is the life!

MOVES THE WORLD

to hear It anywhere in all the wide world
within few minutes, or few days, or at
most few months. In the agencies by which
this lis accomplished, rapid transit by ship,
train or automobile, printing, photography,
telegraph and telephone, wired or wireless,
chemistry plays an essential part, although it
is so unpretentious a part that it rarely re-
ceives recognition. For instancethe expan-
sion of literature and the spread of enlight-
eminent, which put an end to the Dark Ages,
is ascribed to the invention of movable type
by Gutenberg, or somebody else, at the end
of the fourteenth century. But the credit
belongs rather to the unknown chemist who
invented the process of making paper. The
ancient Romans stamped their bricks and
lead pipes with type, but printing had to wait
more than thousand years for a supply Of
paper. Movable type is not the essential fea-
ture of printing, for most Of the printing
done nowadays is not from movable type but
from solid lines or pages. We could if neces-
sary do away with type and press altogether,
and use some photograp hic method of compo-
sition and reproduction, but we could not do
without paper. The invention Of wood-pulp
paper has done more for the expansion Of lit
erature than did the invention of rag paper
600 years ago.
Print is only an imperfect representation
of the sound Of speech, particularly i'm
perfect representation in the case of English
because we cannot tell how half the words
sound from their spelling. But the phono-
graph gives us sounds directly and the audion
and the radio have extended the range Of a
speaker until now a speaker may have an au-
dience covering continent and including
generations yet unborn. What these inven-
tions do for sound photography has done for
the sister sense of light. By means Of them
man is able to transcend the limitations of
time and space. He can make himself seen
and heard all round the earth and to all flu
ture years.

MY FAVORITE STORY
BY Irwin Cobb

ny TWIN OODD
Once upon time I was asked what
considered to be the funniest short story
in the English language After due thought
I decided on this one:
A group of big leaguers on their spring
training trip were marooned by rain one
morning SO that they could not go to the
ball field for practice. They sat under the
portico Of the Texas hotel where they were
quartered and snapped small talk. An adj
miring ring of villagers surrounded them.
A languid, ragged negro drew near, an
choring himself at the outer edge Of the
audience. He laughed with loud apprecia-
tion at every sally from this or that visit
ing notable. He had the look about him Of
one seeking suitable opportunity to solicit
the gift of a small sum from some generous
white stranger. But hour after hour passed
with no proper opening until the forenoon
was spent.
Suddenly the whistle on the canning fac
tory across the street from the hotel let go
a blast and the hands came trooping out
bearing their lunch pals
"Uh, uh, dar she goes,'' said the darby,
as the siren voice died away. "Hits dinner
time fur some folks-but jes' twelve o'clock
for me-"

HOW THE CHEMIST
BY DIR. EDWIN E. s1OssON,

The chemist provides the motive power Of
the world, the world of man, not the mani
mated globe. Archimedes said he could move
the world if he had long enough lever. The
chemist moves the world with molecules. The
food and fuel furnish the energy for our
muscles and machines. If the chemist can
only get control Of the electron he will be
in command of unlimited energy. For in
this universe OF, ours power seems to be in in
verse ration to size and the minutest things
are mightiest
When we handle particles smaller than the
atom we can get behind the elements and
may effect more marvellous transformations
than ever. The smaller the building blocks
the greater the variety Of buildings that can
be constructed. The chemistry of the past
was a kind of cooking. The chemistry of
the future will be more like astronomy, but
it will be new and more useful sort Of as
tronomy such as an astronomer might en-
ploy if he had the power to rearrange the
solar system by annexing new planet from
some other system or expediting the conden-
sation of a nebula thousand times. J
The chemist is not merely a manipulation
OF molecules; he is manager of mankind.
His discoveries and Inventions his economies
and creations, often transform the conditions
Of ordinary life, alter the relations of ma
tional power, and shift the currents of
thought, but these revolutions are effected SO
quietly that the chemist does not get the
credit for what he accomplishes, and indeed
does not usually realize the extent of his
sociological influence.
For instance, a great change that has come
over the world in recent years and has made
conditions so unlike those existing in any
previous period that historical precedents
have no application to the present problems,
is the rapid itnercommunication of intelli-
gence. Anything that anybody wants to say
can be communicated to anybody who wants

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

AS fast as you finish using your garden
tools, rub over the metal with machine oil
or wagon grease, or lard. First, however,
clean them thoroughly, and if necessary pol
ish them with fine emery paper. Then put
them away in a room or cellar where damp
ness does not collect. In no other way is it
possible to keep your tools in good condition.
All too often they are found covered with
rust when spring comes and in no condition
for, satisfactory use. Some garden makers
paint the handles of their tools all over, but
this is not very good practice, as it tends
to make them too heavy.
