Forest Roads and Trails

an important region in the Appalach-
~ ian forest reserve Georgia is keenly
interested. in the announcement that
the federal Department of Agriculture has
set aside fifteen million dollars for appor-
tionment among twenty-seven States and the
two territories Of Alaska and Porto Rico,
for the construction of woodland roads and
trails "Of this sum- runs the news, mine
and half million dollars is allotted for
roads of prime import to States, counties and
national forest communities; while five and
a half million will be used for building
roads and trails needed in administering
and utilizing the forests themselves" The
former is known as the National Forest
Highway fund, the latter as the National
Development fund.
Touching the necessity of trails and roads
for fire protection, the Manufacturers Rec
ord points out that "high speed in forests
means four to five miles an hour over a
TRAIL" but that where no trail exists, "the
fire-ighters do well if they average above q
quarter of mile an hour" When it is
! noted that there are one hundred and fifty
, six million acres of national forests. the
need for liberal appropriations to develop
trail and transport service is obvious. Off
Gals estimate that ultimately one hundred
million dollars will be used for this purpose.
The people of Georgia, it is. good to see,
are growing more mindful of the exceeding
Importance of their part of the national
forest reserve more appreciative Of its worth
to the commonweal both a safeguard to
agricultural interests and as popular re-
sort for health-giving recreation. The State
itself should leLd every possible assistance
to conserving these priceless resources,
should cooperate freely with the federal

WHY 1T TAKES FAITH
BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
The reason why it takes faith is that evil
is noisy and good is quiet.
And the reason of that is that evil is
weak and good is strong.
For whatever is strong can afford to be
modest, and whatever is weak is anxious to
blow its own horn as loudly as possible
Children are weak and hence they cry
loudly. When they grow up and become
strong they learn to suffer and be silent
That is, some of them do. Of course, this
does not refer to your Aunt Emma.
In world so constituted, the shallow
minded tend to believe in the power of evil
They believe easily that most women are
bad, because bad women are experts in
conspicuity.
They believe easily that most men are
liars, because liars talk veryloud. And men
who are addicted to the truth usually speak
i lower tone of voice.
1t takes faith because lightning is fierce
and followed by thunder, while the wireless
messages stream through the air in silence.
Any fool can believe in lightning. 1t takes
brains to believe in the wireless.
1t takes faith because most noise is hum
bug. The kaiser and his crew made a ire
mendous racket because they were such ire
mendous humbugs.
The Volcano amazes and the earthquake
terrifies the people, but neither of these two
striking manifestations contains a billionth
part of the power that lies in the silent sun
shine which lifts billions of tons of water
from the ocean every day and scatters it upon
the land which raises the tides, and is the
source of all force terrestrial.
Drunkards, murderers, wastrels, and per-
verts make great stir upon the earth, but
their influence is infinitesimal compared
with that exerted by the mothers of the
world.
For instance, out of the Ass devastated
communes in France, all but 295 were
adopted by cities in France, Great Britain,
the United States, and elsewhere by the first
OF this year, and some 100000 in cash
had been subscribed by the "godparents" of
these unfortunate districts, and the total
value of their offerings, it is declared
amounts to three times this sum.
And all this constructive work has been
quiet and. unnoticed while the work of dev-
astation during the war resounded through
out the earth and filled the heavens.
1t takes faith simply because it takes in
telligence.
The other name for unfaith is stupidity

BEFORE HOLLYWOOD

Wonder whatever became of those two
French gendarmes, the big tall cop and the
little short cop in gorgeous uniforms, who
were the star screen comedians in the early
days of the movies?
Audiences forgot the films dizzying flicker
and crude photography, when the gendarmes
came gesticulating along the sidewalk.
We were held in tense suspense, knowing
that the endless-chase people soon would
bowl over the dignifed cops and tramps
them underfoot.
Usually, just before the crash, the film
broke. 1t took five minutes for repairs,
the audience restlessly and impatiently turns
ing in their seats to scowl at the film opera
tors coop.
Photography was crude. But the shows
were clean. The two gendarmes faded out
Essanay brought out Charlie Chaplin. Fatty
Arbuckle and Mabel Normand worked to-
gether for Keystone.
Fatty and Mabel starred in down on the
farm comedies. Mabel Wasi the farmers
daughter, Fatty, the hired man. Their chief
stage prop was an old apple tree in the
orchard.
Good old days!
Do you remember the first movie houses
in the old home town? People shook their
heads when shoe-string plungers threw eau
ZION TO the winds and opened "nickelo-
deons" in small store-rooms.
A photograph horn stuck out over the
sidewalk and rarr-r-ed "Bedelia," ''In the
Shade Of the Old Apple Tree" and when
the Whip-poor-will Sings Marguerite " out
over the public square.
There were rumors about town that the
manager of the leading ''nickelodeon"
cleaned up as much as 500 a week. We
tried to pump the town banker. But he
wouldn't tell, just chuckled.
The movies got better and we wondered
what their future would be.
Well, the future is here and we've found
out. The nickelodeon has become a. palace.
The stars make more than President
Harding.
They roll in luxury, which breeds decay.
After all, though, the Hollywood intrigues
and debauches are merely boils that have
broken out from the foul jazz blood that
races through present-day life.
There's talk Of moving the picture indus
try away from Hollywood. That wouldn't
change things much. The buzzard man and

The International Court

~ TUDENTS of judicial history point out
the curiously interesting fact that not
until three years after it first convened
did the Supreme Court of the United States
have a case of great moment to consider.
Casual observers of the time probably never
imagined that the tribunal whose calendar
was well-nigh empty from February, 1890,
to the same month of 1898 would render, in
would turn the republics destiny and the
trend of civilization.
The Permanent Court o. International
Justice, recently organized and now ready to
function, may go for years with no striking
manifestation of it's existence. But its estab-
lishment is none the less meaningful. Com
sed of eleven judges, one of whom is the
eminent American authority on international
lew, Mr.. John Bassett Moore, and four depu-
es all elected by the members of the League
of Nations this tribu1.~- III meet not less
frequently than once year. There is no
sort of fiat that disputes shall be taken to it
for adjudication, nor has it power to enforce
it's decisions. But it is, nevertheless, the

piece of machinery for helping to keep the
peace among nations" and because the
judges are permanent, their decisions will
tend to become more expert, and body of
precedents and additions to law will be es-
tablished."
Moreover, this Court affords, along with
the Council and Assembly of the League of
Nations and great conferences like that re-
Gently adjourned at Washington, practical
means to clearer International understanding
and closer international co-workng. In this
capacity alone it's influence and value are

HOW TO KEEP WELL
DIGESTION
BY DIR. R. H. BISHOP

A good flow of healthy gastric juice de-
pends upon many factors. Regularity in
time Of meals is one Of the greatest. lot
Of people are careless in this respect and
consequently good food. is often blamed for
poor digestion when it was really broken
schedule that caused the upset.
Efficient mastication is another factor in
putting the stomach in good <humor 10
receive food, and in sending the 1000 down
in such shape as to be taken care Oh with
ease
The pleasant sensations from the sight,
smell, and taste of food not only make the
mouth water, but the stomach as well.
Some foods stimulate flow OF gastric juice
aside from any pleasant sensations they
may produce and are Of great value When
the appetite fails or when for some reason
the stomach's responses to food are weak.
Water is such food and may be taken
few minutes before or at the beginning Of
meal with positive stimulating effects.
The most efficient gastric stimulants are
those substances which give flavor TO meats;
hence the advantage of meat early IN the
meal.
It is also we'll to begin meal with soups
containing extracts of meat, as boulllon,
consomme, and other kinds with meat stock
as a foundation, when the stomach re-
sponses are feeble.
In this fact we find the chief reason for
beef broth itself has little if any fuel value.
it could be accompanied with some real
food which it will help to digest.
The state of mind is another factor affect

nervous state is very quickly reflected in
the stomach.
Attention to the appearance of food ON
the table and other tricks of the trade"
which tend to put the prospective eater in
a happy frame of mind are worth while from
this point of view. N--. 2..>
Excitement, worry, anger, chill, fatigue,
in fact, any emotional strain, tends to re-
tard the digestive processes.

wy WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-Only a
wv part of the Irish situation was solved
I in the acceptance of the Sim Fein
of the creation of the Irish Free State.
There remains to be settled the question of
the boundary between that state and the
northern section of Ireland known as Ulster.
One of the most important clauses in the
agreement ratified by the Dali Eireann is
that providing for boundary commission
to decide this matter if the Free State and
Ulster cannot do SO amicably.
The question of this boundary is exciting
every Irishman in and out of Ireland.
Michael Collins, head Of the provisional gov
eminent of the Free State, has been quoted
by Sir James Craig. premier of Ulster, with
having promised to bring into the Free State
almost one-ha1f of what is ordinarily known
as Ulster. Furthermore, number of dele
cations from widely separated sections of
Ulster have waited upon the men in charge
of the Free State government with petitions
asking that their portions Of the Emerald
Isle be included in the Free State.
On this account, the initial settlement of
the Irish troubles may be only the fore.
runner of serious disturbances in both Sec
| tions of the island.
Some Ulstermen are said to have decided
upon /defying the British government in it's
proposal to turn over thousands of Ulster
| men to the Free State. They are active in
denouncing Downing street, charging that
| it made an agreement with the Sim Fein
delegation to include large sections Of what
! has been accepted as, Ulster in the Southern
Irish dominion.
Officials of the Free State declare they
cannot refuse allegiance to any section Of the
| country pleading to be included in that
state They say that if more than one-half
the inhabitants ask for entry into the new
| Free State, then the Free State will be
| forced to include them in it's boundaries
| No Definite Boundaries
| The fact is that Ulster has not and never
had any geographical lines. The nine north
ern counties long have been known as
| Ulster. So far as history is concerned, this
section included Donegal, Londonderry and
| Antrim, which extend across the north Of
! the island from west to east; Tyrone
Armagh and Down, all south of the first
three; and Fermanagh, Monaghan and
| Cavan, below these But when the pro
Visonal boundary was fixed by the act Of
parliament of 1920, Donegal on the north
west, was given to what is now the Irish
! Free State, along with Cavan and Mona

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb
SIGNS OF A RAPID DEPARTURE

For some reason or other a good many
stories of financial disaster have for their
heroes or t. >ir central characters colored
persons. For instance, there is the tlme-hon-
ored yarn of the mulatto cashier who told
black depositor seeking to Withdraw his
funds ''dat de intrust had done ct up dat
money!" And one likewise recalls the pathet-
ic narrative of the ancient negro who, on
being told by the state bank examiner that
banks had burst before and that no doubt
in the future banks would CONT ue to burst.
sorrowfully replied: "Yas, sub, reckin yous
right. But, boss, dis is de fust time ever
had one bust right in my facet"
I think of yet third: An elderly person
of color secured a job as janitor in ma
tional bank in a North Carolina town He
put his savings deposit in the institution,
but after few weeks withdrew the sum and
transferred it to a rival bank across the
street. News of this having reached the presi-
dents ears he sent for the old man.
"Uncle Ike" he said, "of course your
money is your own to do with as you please,
but don't you tn TX it looks peculiar for you
to be working here for us and keeping your
money somewhere else? What's the idea,
anyhow2"

"I's tuck notice dat you wears yore hat all

and Down, as well as the cities of London
derry, Enniskillen and Newry. London
derry City, with population of $4,000, is
seaport on the northern coast Of Ireland.
Sir James is positive in his statement that
the Free State must not thus drive wedge
between portions Of Ulster.
If the line between Ulster and the Free
State is settled without much bloodshed, it
will be the first instance within the history
of man that comparatively peaceful solu-
ton has been reached of so important an
Irish problem. Pugnacity and strife regard
ing Ulster did not begin with the planta-
ton Of James I, as some Irish have it. The
earliest Irish epic, known as the "Tain-Bo,"
is devoted to "scrapping'' with Ulster cit
is natural for us to hate proud Ulster, -
quoth Queen Maev to her daughter in the
ancient days when there was nothing for
them to fight over except a brown bull.
OF course, one side possessed the brown
bull, or ''tain-bo,' and the other side want-
ed it, which situation formed most ex-
cellent reason for bloody war in Ireland.
Ancient Ulster Territory
From the time of Queen Maev until CEN
turtles after, Ulster was the counties of An
trim, Down and section of Louth. When
the ONeills ruled in Tyrone, they generally
had one fight under way on the east and
another to their west. They acquired
County Donegal, in the western war, and
captured County Ulster to the east. Then
came the geographers and map-makers, who
labelled the northern counties as Ulster.
There have been battles over some portion
of Ulster since an Irishman first fashioned
a shillalah and found no better target than
the head Of an enemy.
Most of Cavan, which is the southernmost
of the counties accredited to Ulster by his.
torians, never belonged to that section. In
truth, map showing the real political
Ulster would be a collection of shreds and
patches, Of shades and of percentages. 1t
would be fairly solid as far south as North
Londonderry and North Armagh are con-
cerned, but after that it would go all to
pieces. Even Londonderry City, the in
dustrial prosperity of which has induced a
flow of cheap labor from County Donegal
on its west, now has Nationalistic major
ity. Tyrone and Fermanagh both have
slight Nationalist majorities. The figures
by religion show 1875 Catholics land
90,746 Protestants.
To mark off certain counties and to labe
one part as Ulster and the other part al
| Southern Ireland, as was done by the act oil
parliament of 1920, has been found to be a
hopelessly bad arrangement. 1t was GER
! tain to lead to trouble. Such delimina.
! tion includes thousands of red-hot National
lists and excludes thousands of equally red
hot Unionists.

THE PARENTS UNION

knows that the old name Of the automobile
.'the devil wagon" is well chosen when
young boys tear madly around in them at
all times of the day and night. No mature
man and woman but realizes how democrat
izing to the young are the lewd pictures,
and sex plays which mere children go to
see.
The individual parents would gladly keep
their children unspOtted. from the world,
but they can't do it as individuals. Mamie
will roll her stockings and show her bare
knees because all the other girls are doing
it. Sally will dance cheek to cheek because
she will have no partners if she doesnt t.
All the other boys have the use of their
fathers cars, and Johnny considers him
self martyr unless his father lets him
use his. And so it goes, all down the line
of the wild, uncontrolled young hurting
to destruction.
The only remedy for it is for parents to
get together and form an iron-clad union
for what the individual parents cannot do,
the collective parenthood of the country
can do Especially is a mothers union
needed because mothers can rule the world
if they want to-, and make it a fit place in
which their children may safely live
Mothers can even control the fashions
and they could make red flannel underwear
just as smart, and as much desired by their
daughters, as orchid-tinted lingerie is al
present. They could make decency as much
the mode in dress as vulgarity is now.
For in mothers little black bag is the
money that makes trade prosperous, or dull,
and if the, Amalgamated Order of Mothers
would issue the fiat today that henceforth
they would buy nothing but modestly de-
signed gowns for their daughters, tomorrow
the show windows would display nothing
but CONNECTIONS built on conservative lines
and modesty would be the vogue.
Picture houses and theaters would give
no more improper exhibitions if they knew
positively that not single young person
would be permitted to attend them. There
would be no more vulgar dancing if fathers
and mothers put their foot down good and
hard upon it. Let the parents Of the coun.
try see that their children only paronize
clean places of amusement, and nothing
but clean amusements will be offered.
In union there is strength. The children
are already members of a sort of Bolshevik
organization, sworn to resist all authority,
and to know no law but their own desires,
and it is only by the parents getting to-
gether and standing shoulder to shoulder
that they can hope to regain their lost
authority. and saving their children in spite
of themselves.

L;nco11, on Washington
BRAHAM LINCOLN possessed in a

BRAHAM LINCOLN possessed in rare
n degree the power of expression in
few words and simple words. His Get
tysburg address is regarded as a model.
Proportionately few Americans, however,
have read another and even briefer tribute
to Washington, delivered by Lincoln without
preparation in his youth, at Springfield,
Illinois,
Read this; it is worth while:
washington is the mightiest name on
earth-long since mightiest in the cause of
civil liberty; still mightiest in the moral ref
ormation. On that name eulogy is ex-
pected. 1t cannot be. To add brightness to
the sun or glory to the name OF Washington
is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In
solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its
naked, deathless splendor leave it shining
on.
