Editorial Echoes

PARIS-The latest of the many devices
bv which the authorities are trying-wlth-
out much enthusiasm or hope-to render the
streets less dangerous and less confused, IS
to be put to the test shortly in the Place de
L'Opera, says the correspondent OF the
London Times. This is the control OF
traffic by mounted police instead Of by foot
policemen who at present ineffectively wave
their white wands. The average chauffeur
seems to consider it the duty Of true
sportsman to slip by whenever the waver
of the wand is not looking, and single
sportive taximan of this kind can produce
astonishing confusion in astonlsh1ngly few
seconds.
zone observer watching one of these mix
ups wanted to know when told that mount
ed police were to be tried, if they were to
be mounted on bronze horses, as otherwise
he feared that the horse ambulances would
be kept busy. 1t is generally felt that the
mounted police system will not last long.
One newspaper is advising its readers to
hurry up if they want to see these cavaliers
performing when once they start, as their
run will not be long one. Platforms with
electric light signs-copied from New York
one light to stop the traffic, one to start
it, and one to announce that the stream OF
traffic is about to be changed-are also to
be in operation soon, but no one seems to
put much more faith in them than in the
mounted police.
after the city's experience with bandes
rouges it is no wonder that the people are
pessimistic about experiments. The theory
was that on the bande rouge-that is to
say, strip of paving few yards wide of
an almost invisible red, leading across
boulevard at busy points-people would be
in a kind Of safety zone where chauffeurs
would be expected to treat their lives with
some degree of sanctity. These red bands
took weeks and weeks to lay down, with
consequent disastrous results to. the traffic,
which had to be diverted now along this
side, now along that side of the boulevard
When at last they were ready, several of the
first people who trusted to them were
knocked down, and one woman was killed.
after this both promenaders and chauf-
feurs were so nervous that the results were
comic. A group Of people would start across
red band, then would draw back, just,
however, as the chauffeurs would pull up
their vehicles, with an awful grinding of
brakes. Then the group on foot would take
courage and start forward again; but at
that moment the chauffeurs, supposing the
walkers to have definitely retreated, would
also start forward.

| A WOMAN wants to know how to cure a
| ~ husband who is afflicted with the
u knocking habit She says thai she is
married to good man who provides her
with nice home, and all the comforts of
| life, but he makes her life miserable by his
perpetual fault-fnding. She further deposes
that she is thrifty manager, and a good
cook, but that no matter how she tries to
please her husband, she never succeeds in
doing it.
The minute he puts his key in the door is
the signal for the anvil chorus to begin. The
house is either too hot or too cold. About a
million things are the matter with the chill
dren. If they have mutton for dinner, he
demands to know why it isn't beef. If it is
beef he wants to know why they can't have
| mutton sometimes. When the wife buys a
new dress or hat, he criticizes it until he
destroys all of her pleasure in it. He sneers
at all of her opinions, and derides her judg-
ment, and the poor wife spends her life
| mentally on the jump, trying to dodge the
brick bats with which he amuses himself by
hurting at her.
And she is tired of it, and wants 20 know
some way of curing him. / don't believe
there is any way Of curing a genuine, born
knocker who puts real heart interest in his
work. because knocking is the outward and
invisible expression of mean, little, envious
soul that is so greedy it is forever fearful
that it is not getting all that is coming to it,
and so niggardly it begrudges even a word
of praise for favors granted.
More than that, your chronic knocker is a
coward who never hits person of his own
size. His victims are invariably those who are
in his power. You never hear of knockers
lambasting those above them. They confine
their attentions to those below them.
Now the only way to deal with coward
is through fear. So the only advice can Of
fer to the woman with fault-finding hus-
band is to terrorize him so completely that
he won't dare open his mouth to protest even
when the roast is burnt, and the bread like
lead, and she has taken the rent money to
buy imported French model spring hat.
Beat him to the hammer, and begin by
pounding everything he does and says with
such vim and vigor that he will not have an
opportunity to get in single word of crit
icism of your faults.
When it comes to verbal battle, no man
is the equal of woman. She outclasses him
in swiftness Of tongue, and staying powers,
and therefore it is wife's own fault if she
lets her husband nag her to death.
The man who marries a girl, and makes
her the target for the spleen he dares not
vent upon the balance of the world, is as
despicable a creature as lives, for he has TAX
en- in his hands fellow creatures life and
deliberately ruined it to crafty his cruel

within. For to a woman her home is the
world, her husband is the god who hangs the
sun in her sky or blots it out in darkness.
He makes for her happiness, or misery.
If he makes her feel that he admires her,
that he appreciates all that she does for his
comfort and well-being, that he sees and UNI
derstands, then nothing that she may have
to endure or do for him is too much or too
hard. But if her every effort is rewarded
only with blame and ingratitude and sense
of failure, then nothing is worth while, and
marriage becomes nothing to her but slavery
to grinding tyrant,
If men would only trouble to study the
psychology of women little, husbands would
forbear to be knockers just for their own sell
fish good. For it is an axiom that you can
lead woman where you cannot drive her,
and that you can cajole one into doing
things that no earthly power could coerce
her into doing.
The salve spreader is mightier than the
hammer with the entire feminine sex, and if
a man wants to develop any particular Vir-
tue in his wife, he should praise her for pos
sessing it, instead of criticising her lack Of
it. For if she thinks her husband admires a
certain quality in her, she will bend might
and main to acquire it, but if she knows that
he is going to blame her for not possessing
it, she will shrug her shoulders and say,
whats the use?" and let it go at that.
Let man, for instance, be forever ex-
tOlling his Wlfe'S pies, and she will sit up
nights with the cook book until she becomes
the champion pie-maker of her community.
Let man sing the song Of his wife's thrift,
and she will pinch the buffalo off nickel.
Let him praise her amiability, and her good
craftsmanship, and her breadth of view, and
she will bite her tongue out before she will
call time on him when he stays out at night
with the boys.
But let man growl over his food, and
his wife will say to herself, whats the use
of bothering with trying to get up good
meals because he will find fault anyway"
Let him raise ructions over every BILL and
she will revenge herself by extravagant buy
ing. Let him show her that he thinks her a
dull companion, and he will have to fight
for his latch key to get away from her.
Praise is a stimulant that puts fresh en-
thusiasm and energy into us but constant
criticism takes every bit of spirit and enthu-
siasm out of us. 1t is the dreary dripping of
cold water that sends our morale down to
zero, and makes us turn towards and quit.
Therefore, I say to all men: If you want a
good wife, boost, don't knock. little ap-
probation goes long way with woman.

"HE literally cooperative spirit In which
the farmers and business men Of New
ton county are preparing for the needs
and tests of the months ahead augurs most
happily for that region of Georgia and Tor
all that do likewise.
With a view to successful marketing Ior
crops other than cotton, the Newton County
Board of Trade, supported by loyal and Tor
thinking citizenry, has launched
number of seasonable enterprises. Among
these is a sour cream station, wnlch Is ea-
pected to give marked impetus to live stock
and dairying industries; the construction OF
potato curing houses convenient to districts
not already provided with these essentials to
profitable yam raising; and the cooperative
buying of seeds, in which connection the
Board has distributed four hundred question
blanks asking farmers to send in their orders
and also to state what acreage per ploW they
will plant. Through such methods the
countys business aid agricultural energies
are organized for the general good, making
possible economies and attachments Tar be-
yond the power of merely individual efforts.
Problems which otherwise would be hopeless
ly battling are thus solved while opportunities
which otherwise would come to few or none
are shared by the rank and file.
That is the way to prosperity and to prog
ress The difficulties that beset Georgia IN
this year so fraught with possibilities for
good and for i'll are Of a kind that concern,
not this or that region alone, but the whole
commonv ealth. The boil weevil onset affects,

chief reliance, tens Of thousands of debtors
would find themselves more than ever deeply
involved, tens of thousands of creditors more
than ever in danger Of losing their stakes,
and the whole economic order gravely inse-

it is hoped to avoid such hazards are to be
sold at profits, there must be adequate facili-
ties for marketing thing impossible with
out liberal and vigorous cooperation Hence
the exceeding Importance of such methods as
Newton and other prudent counties are en-

Tri-Week1y News Flashes From All Over
the Earth.
Aerial Suicide


Lieutenant j. F. MacReady, holder of the
worlds altitude record is preparing to fly
to the ceiling of the world-the altitude at
which he estimates his body will explode.
MacReady, dissatisfied with his recent
flight record of 40,S00 feet, says that he is
building a super-charger to carry him $4,000
feet into the air. Before he reaches this top
Of the world, his body will burst like
balloon because of the lack of external air
pressure, MacReady believes.
"The Importance of the revelations ex-
pected justify the experiment regardless Of
the consequences to myself" MacReady said.
When he reached the 40,000-foot level
recently, he found an air pressure of only
three pounds per square inch. Fifteen thou
sand feet higher he believes may bring a
collapse to the plane, failure Of the engine,
an inefficiency in the super-charger or an
explosion of his body. The newly-constructed
craft will care for the first three possibili-
ties.
His body was puffy and the tissues had
begun to feel the strain of the altitude when
MacReady made his record. He pushed the
nose Of his plane upward, but its mechanical
limit had been reached. Then, he said, he de-
termined to explore the higher region.
There is a limit to altitude flying" the
aviator said. zone cannot go on indefinitely.
There comes point where the end of space
or nothing is reached. It is impossible to
state when that limit is. 1t may be physi-
cal limit or it may be a mechanical limit.
Forty thousand feet is approaching the physi-
cal limit. If the mechanical means are per-
fected to gain higher attitudes the limit will
be a physical limit"
MacReady has not decided when his ex-
pertinent will be attempted, and said only
personal friends would know of it until the
flight had been made:

More Disarming

Radical reductions in land ornaments are
imminent in Sweden, Denmark and Norway,
where sentiment for such a movement has
developed strongly since the armistice
Much secrecy surrounds the plans or the
three countries, especially Sweden and Dem
mark, but the Norwegian defense committee
expects soon to present concrete details for
the reduction Of the army.
One of Norways strongest believers in
disarmament Editor War Tveit, has re-
moved, by open discussion, some of the Sc
crecy surrounding the question of his coun-
trys defenses. His principal reason for urg-
ing Norway to reduce it's army is based upon
the assumption that the League of Nations
has made all military defenses unnecessary.

FOOD NEEDED FOR ANOTHER YEAR IN
 RUSSIA, IS CLAIM

Philadelphia. Aug. - The people in the famine area of Russia will need food from the outside for another year, in the opinion of Murray S. Kenworthy of Wilmington, Ohio, who has just returned from Buzuluk, where he had charge of the relief work of the American Friends. Deaths from starvation are still oc- curing As late as the first of June MT. Kenworthy saw people lying dead on the streets of Samara, the chief city of Samara province. There are large districts in the famine area which have not received one ounce of food from any relief organization.
 Present crop estimates indicate that 60 per cent. of the people in the fam inc area will not have sufficient food to carry them through next winter. The acreage planted was small, due to lack of animals; weakness of the peasants, and lack of seed. Much of the grain shipped from the United States did not germinate well.
 There are thousands of orphaned children in the homes throughout the famine area who will have to be provided with nourishing food as well as clothing and bedding.
 All the people are in rags. Clothing and material of all kinds is needed. The people can spin and weave but they have no flax or wool to work with.
 MT. Kenworthy reports that the Russian government co-operated with the relief workers in every possible way. It supplied free transportation, free cable and telegraph service, free homes and Russian assistants. While lack of food is causing the most suffering, the people are also suffering from disease, typhus in the winter and cholera during the sum- mer months. Medical supplies are needed in unlimited quantities. A vast amount of medical and sanitary work should be done in the peasant villages. Russia will continue to be source of danger to the rest of Europe and to America until radical sanitary changes are made, MT. Ken worthy declares.
