$4,000 navy, this is regarded as an inevitable
but somewhat peculiar state of mind.
One of the senators who declared he would
fight the naval limitation treaty if the &c.
600 personnel was not made an issue by
the White House, points out this situation
Would Weaken Navy
If, in the negotiations between the powers
of the world which led to the treaty, the
United States had agreed to write into the
covenants an agreement that it would scrap
one more battleship than England, there
from the people of the country. Then, he
said, Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Root, and
Underwood might as well have voluntarily
retired to private life. They would have
been looked upon, he contended, as having
betrayed their country by permitting it to
be weaker specifically in naval power than
another great power Of the earth, and as
having invited trouble by that action. The
interest and excitement aroused by the agree
ment all through the country is guarantee of
this fact, he said.

ARE MEN AFRAID OF
WOMEN?
By Helen Rowland
men afraid of women?

Are men afraid of women?
Are they beginning to wake up to the
fact that women now have as many rights,
more privileges, and almost as many pock-
cts as any man?
Listen
Several articles on elbow to Chastise a
Wife" and woman Beating as an Art,
have appeared in new York newspaper,
recently.
Clever witty articles they are, in which
their masculine authors dwelt on the
science (not to say the necessity of cave
man methods in subduing, conquering and
finishing off, refractory lady.
This is sign of the times. Tt is the
most enlghtening and significant rocket
that has shot through the feminine firma-
ment in years.
1t is the dawning Of masculine protest
against the Modern Woman.
Can it be that men are AFRAID of
her?
If not, why all this talk of armament
and conquest? Men do not prepare for war,
unless they fear an enemy.
1t sounds like the whistling Of a small
boy in the dark--to keep up his courage.
1t sounds like somebody singing as he
passes a graveyard, at night
It sounds like the shouting and wild
protest against prohibtion-now that we've
got it!
1t sounds like the wailing Of the infant
when he sees his toys about to be snatched
away from him.
Blame him? Not /! Bless his fluttering
heart!
He sees his aura Of intellectual superior
ty dissolving about him.
He sees the flapper wearing his knck-
ers, putting his cigarettes, carrying his
latch-key, sharing in his games and taking
the slang out of his mouth.

CURIOUS illustration of the fact that
~ women never learn anything from the
n experience of others has recently been
given in Paris. An editor wished to find out
if women had been taught any lesson con-
corning the danger of answering matrimonial
advertisements by the fate of the many wom-
en- who had answered one inserted by big
artist and had been lured that way to their
doom.
So the editor inserted the very same ad-
vertisement, word for word in the same pa
pers that the bigamist had used, and hun
dreds of women answered it, yet every one
of them must have read the pitiful tale of
their sister women who were hOaXed into
bogus marriage, robbed and then murdered.
That this should be the case will surprise
nobody who has made the slightest study of
the feminine temperament. Woman has al
ways snapped her fingers in the face of ex-
perience, and refuse to sit at the feet of wis
dom. To erect the red lantern of warning be-
fore her eyes is to lure her on, instead of
turning her back from a dangerous pathway.
Because other women have met disaster pur-
suing certain course does not deter her
from attempting it. She always believes that
she can achieve the impossible
Especially is this true in sentimental mat
ters. AbSractly, every woman knows what
are the extra hazardous riffs in matrimony.
Any girl child is perfectly aware that a
woman takes her life in her hands if she
marries man who is philanderer, drunk
ara, or VINO is lazy ana SnlItleSS, or Surly ana
grouchy and stingy.
She also knows that matrimony is far
more likely to intensity mans faults than
it is to cure them, and that it is only in
novels that the love of pure, good woman
changes brute into a domestic angel. On
the contrary, she knows that if a mans own
sense of manhood doesn't make him run
straight, no woman can turn the trick.
She has seen girls marry rogues, and land
in the divorce court. She has had friends
marry drunkards and she has seen them
dragged down to the gutter She has seen
women cover like whipped dogs under the
abuse of high-tempered men. She has known
girls to marry charming ne'er-do-wells and
take in boarders to support them.
But the experience of these other women
have taught her nothing when it comes to
herself She goes blithely on, and marries
the rounder, the alcoholic, the loafer, the
tightwad, because she believes that she pos
sesses some magic charm that will work an
instantaneous change in the mans charac-
ter, and make him what she wants him to
be instead of what he is. There is no living
woman who doesn't secretly believe that she
has some hypnotic power that she can exer-
else over her husband, that will make him
clay in her hands, and the fact that millions
of other women have also thought the same
thing about themselves, and failed, doesn t
shake her faith in herself one iota.
If women were only capable of learning

PROHIBITION AND CRIME
By DR.. Frank Crane

Prohibition was effected in the United
States practically without the assistance of
tho newspapers. Comparatively few of them
were in favor Of it and many newspaper men
still regard it as a tyranny or an absurdity
The result of this is to give tone to the
news in some cases. For without wilful mis-
representation or actual falsehood there is
such thing as selecting and emphasizing
news items to give color to ones conviction
One of the ideas that many newspapers
are endeavoring to establish is that Prohi-
btion is rel onsible for the increase OF crime
in the United States.
The fact of the case is however, that this
increase in crime is quite as marked in 9TH
er countries, where the sale of alcohol is al
lowed, as it is in America, where it is for
hidden.
Crime statistics for France for the years
1919 and 1920 show that 4,919 crimes were
committed throughout the country during
the former year and that the number in-
creased to 5,149 in the latter.
We have had our drinking scandals in
America, and many instances have been
noticed of deaths caused by bootleg liquor,
There have, however, been quite as many
instances in France and England of alcoholic
perversion as there have been in America.
The Night clubs Of London are far worse
in their immortality than the bootlegging
joints of New York or Chicago.
A reporter on the London Daily Mail in
vestigating these clubs said 1--WE cannot
afford TO laugh at the United States, He
describes the many revolving underground
resorts which he discovered and demon
strates that the tendency to this sort OF
crime is not lessened by the fact that alco-
holic liquors can be secured in respectable
places.
The death of Miss Freda Kempton, the
beautiful twenty one-year-old dancing in
structress at Night Clubs, shocked London.
The trade in dangerous drugs is as lively
abroad as it is in America.
Plenty Of drugs are to be had" says a
London paper. They are hawked in the
West End of London by undesirable char
acters who are usually aliens. They can also
be obtained at a stiff price in unsavory
haunts in London's underworld Smuggling
drugs is far less risky than smuggling tobac-
CO or spirits. In fact it is almost impossible
to detect small quantities of drugs which are
skilfully secreted on the person
For instance, cocaine and other drugs
have been found in specially made grooves
in alkinl sticks and umbrellas. Whit
POWDER as cocaine is often called, has been
discovered in wristlet watch from which
the works had been removed. Moreover, the
police recently found a quantity of snow in
a fountain pen!
ION one occasion d consignment Of WON
ems high-heeled shoes from Paris was in
reality a mouflaged consignment Of cocaine.

PLAN-THEN DO
Bv H. Addington Bruce
TN HERE are altogether too many pc


IN HERE are altogether too many people
in this world of whom it might truly
be written as Charles Lamb wrote
of Coleridge
"Coleridge is dead, and is said to have
left behind him above forty thousand trea-
tises on metaphysics and divinity-not one
of them complete"
Perhaps among your own acquaintance
are people of this sort-people tireless in
planning great things, but strangely inert
when it comes to giving effect to any of
their planning. Possibly for that matter,
this is a failing to which you yourself must
plead guilty.
You have ambitions and dreams which
YOU long to see come true. You fondly
cherish them, you turn them over in your
mind, you make all manner Of plans looking
to their realization.
But you are content to stop there. To
you, planning seems to be the all-important
thing. At any rate, you do not supplement
your planning with the desire that Is in
dispensable if your plans are ever to
amount to anything.
1t may be that you fail to do because you
are mistrustful of your ability. It may be
that, for all your interest in your dreams
and your ambitions, you are actually more
interested in other things-amusements, for
example-which tend to interfere with and
prevent creative effort.
In any case your failure to do, to act
theoretically after you have planned
makes your planning itself worthless, and
holds you in the ranks Of the unaccom-
plishing. That old-time philosopher of sue
cess, Sir Thomas Buxton, was not far
amiss when he observed:
1.-THE longer I live, the more I am GER
tain that the great difference between men,
between the great and the insignificant, is
energy, invincible determination, an honest
purpose once fixed, and then death or
victory.
"This quality will do anything in the
world; and do talents, no circumstances
will make a two-legged creature a man
without it."
Only, as suggested by Buxton himself to
be energetic will not of itself suffice. just
as it is useless to plan unless the planning
be followed by doing, so likewise the most
energetic doing will count for little unless
it be preceded by intelligent planning.
One must both know his goal and plan
for it's attainment. Otherwise there will
only be a perpetual waste of energy much
as energy is wasted by the flying squirrel
that necessarily devolves the wheel in its
cage yet gets nowhere. I quote from an
other student of life, the excellent William
Mathews:
"They who are competent to do almost
anything do nothing, because they never
make up their minds distinctly as to what
they want or what they intend to be. Hence
many of the mournful failures we see all
around us in every walk of life"
Know your goal, plan to reach it, then
act in accordance with your plan-do as
we'll as dream. That is the course, the one
sure course, Of real achievement.

In the second place. business concerns in the
state transact greater volume of business
by telephone than concerns in the north and
east. In the third place, Georgia people are
socabe and fond Of communicating with
their friends.
Mr.. Jagoe showed from his figures that
45.5 per cent more work is required to serve,
telephone subscribers in this state than in
the entire United States.
Mr.. Jagoe tested at length regarding
wages paid telephone operators and employees
in other departments He gave figures show
ing the average operators wage per week in
the principal cities, larger cities being as fol-
lows: Atlanta, $16.97 per week; Savannah,
