The IMPERATIVE Need of
CONSERVING Georgia Forests

A the States capital city and as a friend
u " center for every worth while cause
Atlanta should deem it privilege to
provide her part of the fund for the exceed
ingly important work of the Georgia Forestry
Committee.
Conservation of woodland resources is of
high moment to all interests, business, in
dustriaI agricultural and human. The in
creasing cost of well-nigh every product into
which wood enters, from the smallest cot
tage to the greatest factory and from ploW
handles to print paper, warns us that unless
the dwindling stores of timber be replenish-
ed grievous times are ahead. Three-fifths
of the country's original supply is already
consumed; and every year an additional
twenty-six billion feet are taken away, while
only six billion are replaced. At this rate 1t
will be only twenty-five years until none is
left.
The East now pays some six hundred mil
lion dollars annually in freight rates on ship
ments of lumber from distant points, the
larger part of which cost would have been
saved had the work of conserving forests peen
started betimes. Abundant timber, reckless
cutting, uncontrolled fires, d1mlnutlon ana
then exhaustion of supply-such has been
the story in region after region as the CEN
ter Of American lumber production has moved
from New England to the Alleghanies, to the
Lake States, to the South, and as now 1t
swings toward the last giant strongholds or
@ASAe"AAoAS
and the Gulf States pine forests have been
reduced from some six hundred and fifty bill
lion board feet, to less than one hundred and
thirty-nine billion; and the day is not far, au-
thorities declare, when the South will fall
short of producing enough timber for her
own needs
That such conditions are Of grave conse-
quence to industry and business it is easy to
see; but they are still more threatening to
agriculture. For without the regulation Of
rainfall and stream-fIow, the control of
floods and the tempering of climatic ex-
tremes which forests vouchsafe, agricultural
interests will suffer and will eventually cease.
AS a State whose basic industry is farming,
Georgia can not afford to neglect these vital
safeguards
The Forestry Committee is undertaking
campaign of education which, if duly sup
ported, will go far to check needless waste
in this commonwealth and to encourage res
titution. It's program invites the hearty CO.
operation Of lumbermen, landowners, govern
ment officials, and thoughtful citizens all.
It's efforts in reducing forest fires will be in
itself alone worth the fund desired, for each
year sees great tracts of valuable timber
turned to ashes. Beyond this the Committee
will do divers sorts of constructive work. It's
hands Should be upheld by every Georgia
community, and particularly by Atlanta on
whose example the success of the appeal
elsewhere largely depends.

The Rare Beautiful Art of atik-By Frederic j. Haskn

The Javanese take batik garments as a
matter Of course. The work is much cheaper
there than here, and the native clothing is
simple in cut. Straight pieces of cloth in
squares and strips of fixed dimensions are
the head dresses, skirts and scarfs of Java
nese wardrobe.
The idea of resist dyeing by use of wax is
very old. The Javanese are said to have
learned the method from India in the time
of Guatama Buddha, 25 centuries ago. It
quickly became popular in Java, and today
Java, rather than India, is the place asso-
ciated with the art. In old, forsaken tenn
pies, now hidden in the jungle of the interior
of the island, carved idols may be seen por-
trayed in batik garments, and the patterns
are very like those in vogue in Java today.
Presumably, the art was evolved in India.
Yet, on this side of the world, samples OF
batik in typical Javanese designs have been
found. Science is at loss to explain how the
designs and processes could have been car
ried across the ocean in cOckleshell native
craft. -.E
Dutch Found Batik
The batiks of Java attracted Dutch trad
ers several centuries ago, and they brought
pieces back to Holland. There was not much
interest shown in this eastern product, at
first, but eventually HOLLAND began to copy
the process. OF late years the Dutch govern
ment has encouraged it's people to expert
ment with it. government institute was es-
tablished at Harlem for displays of batik
and as source or information ana encour-
agement for batik-makers.
The history Of batik in this country dates
back at least to the Chicago exposition, Mr..
Neigh remembers a display of this art by
some Javanese at that time. AS in Holland,
interest in the novelty spread slowly. Thea
tiers ~,.W possibilities for striking effects in
the broad use of the dyed designs, and bat1k
has been widely used for curtains and cos
tunes.
In this country we lack centuries of ira
dtion for high standard in batik But our
artists have some advantage in greater col
or resources, in knowledge of color chemis-
try, and in conscious knowledge Of design.
So far, American ingenuity has made NO i'm
portant improvement over the ancient Java
nese method of producing batik. 1t is true
that the general effect of the Javanese pat
terms can be reproduced in printed silks, but
they lack the personality and the appear
ance Of being hand-work that makes high
grade batik art.

Err;ch;ng the Commonwealth
~ HE striking statement comes from an
official of Arkansas that if all the



farmers in that commonwealth had
produced at the rate of the vocational
students, one hundred and fifty-five million
dollars would have been added to the value
of corn, cotton, Irish potatoes, sweet pota-
toes and dairy products.
The students, it appears, kept account or
their work in those five fields, so that exact
figures concerning costs and profits were
in hand at the close Of the season. 1t was
thus easy to ascertain the financial results
of their methods of planting, cultivating, har-
vesting and marketing. And those methods,
if practiced generally, would have enriched
the state to the extent of one hundred and
fifty-five million dollars.
Such is the value of agricultural educa-
ton and scientific research. Such is the
value of all true education when its fruitage
in human character is reckoned No other
investment which Georgians can make, no
other appropriation which their Legislators
can grant will compare in profitableness
with that which goes to the training and in
struction of youth and to the maintenance OF
schools and colleges. Other outlays Of money
serve passing or particular needs; but that
applied to these purposes serves what is
basic, abiding and universal.
When Georgia supports her educational
institutions as she should, when those spon-
sored by the State are no longer stinted and
those founded by the church are adequately
endowed, then we shall see the resources OF
this fertile Commonwealth developing as il
by magic and it's progress fastened as II
by miracle. Where one blade grows now, a
score will flourish; where one opportunity
now presents itself, hundreds will spring
forth and be turned to splendid harvest.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

carried many bundles, as she paused on the
platform of crowded street car. 'I thought

But madam began the conductor.
Don't you say word! 1 know all about
your car being full and about you not being
able to remember where everybody gets off,

But, madam" again commenced the
poor conductor.
"You may be sure" poured on the wom-

the woman being left behind.

rN former days, mothers laid awake at
night trying to devise W: VS. to protect
there innocent little daughters against
the wiles of bold, bad, wicked men. Now
adays, the thing that gives mothers insomnia
is attempting to dope out some method of
safeguarding their unsophisticated sons
against the vamping Of flappers.
At least that was the consensus Of the
opinion Of several mothers clubs which have
recently held sessions, and which turned in
an almost unanimous verdict indicting the
modern young girl the villain Of society.
They declared that she was responsible for
the present day immo lest dress, for the prev
alance OF "petting parties," and that she in
cited the boys to joy rides, and extravaganza,
and all matter of foolishness, and that no
mothers little male lamb was safe with her.
That's right. blame all the boys faults On
the girls! Teach your boys to hide behind
the nearest skirt, and put up the old Adamite
excuse "The woman thou gavest me. She
did it,
But, how silly, and how unjust to lay all
the follies of the youth of today at the girls
door, for there is no mature woman, who
has seen anything Of life, who does not
know that women are what men make them,
and that every girl spends her life trying to
look, and dress, and act SO as to please men.
Women accept men as they are, because
they have to, for men are literally the lords
of creation. A man does not have to adapt
himself to women. He is not compelled to
|, dress to please their tastes. He does not
have to shape his manners according to their
ideals. He does not have to feign an inter-
est in their pursuits. He does not have to
put up with female bores, nor dance with
fat ladies who step all over his feet, and
muss up his clothes.
Because if one woman doesn't like his
looks, and his manners, he can hunt up an
other one who is less critical. He can pick
and choose among women, and make his
own selection instead of having to take what
is offered to him. He doesn't have to at
tract all the women he meets on the off
chance that the one he will really care for
will be in the crowd.
But a girl who wants to have attention
from men, who desires to have a good time,
and eventually to marry, has to conform to
the masculine ideal. She has got to be- and
to do the things that catch the masculine
fancy at the time being. If she doesn't the
men turn their thumbs down for her, and she
had as we'll HE her to a nunnery, or get a
good, self-supporting job for the balance of
her life.
In all history there is nothing else more
interesting than the way in which women
have changed to meet the demands and tastes
of men. In the times when men used to go
off on crusades, and be absent from home
for years at a time. and when they wanted to
know that their wives were kept put at
home, a woman would spend her lifetime
happy and contented, spinning and embroid-

The Marse;11es Fair

N the quaint old city of Marseilles, whose
Phoenician founders were plying pros
porous trade twenty-five hundred years
ago and whence today many merchantmen
of Europe puts forth for Africa and the Lee
want, there opened this week the first worlds
fair since the war.
within the ninety acres OF space" writes
q Journal correspondent, there is the archi-
lecture of Indo-China, equatorial Africa,
Morocco Tunis Madagascar, Algeria and the
Mediterranean coast. Indo-China reproduces
the temple Of Anghkor-Vat with its pagodas
and high saircases, thanked by one hundred
dogs with erect tails all Of papier mache. OF
the mosques and minarets from the African
colonies the largest is grim reproduction of
the Sudanese mosque in Timbuctoo, with two
hundred-foot adobe tower, whence sticks pro-
ject like quilts from an angry porcupine.
Each of the exhibition buildings will be filled
with natives displaying their wares and
dances and offering strange dishes to adven-
turous tasters. While the fair will portray
in miniature the colonial empire of France to-
day, it better represents a delicious version of
the Biblical tower of Babel"
It might have been expected that America,
with her proverbial enterprise, would be
rather extensively represented in an exposi-
ton of such commercial Importance. But
with the exception of one export corporation
and the certain western meat packers this
country has had no business establishment in
Marseilles since the inset of the dull times
following the war. It appears, too, that
American shipping is withdrawing from the
Levant-African trade, Notwithstanding the
rich harvests eventually to be reaped and the
substantial hold which our colors had won.
In these days of more and more rapid trans
port and ever multiplying means of commun-
ication, there is no port too distant for ven
turing no lane of trade to which we should
be indifferent.

no longer matter Of speculation but
of fact. Washington officials who
have ample means of studying developments
the country over cite substantial evidences of
recovery When five issues of Liberty bonds
attain par, mounting from an average as low
as eighty-five two years ago, and at the same
time money rates are made considerably cas-
Ter; when Interstate Commerce Commission
reports show material increases in railway
earnings; when repayments of loans to the
War Finance Corporation reach volume that
virtually equals disbursement; and when the
director of that institution declares that con-
ditions in the agricultural regions are one
hundred per cent better than six months ago
then assuredly the most cautious may take
heart and the respondent themselves be
comforted
The keenest watchers are not forecasting
full tides of prosperity for the near future,
but they are recording goodly improvements.
Particularly plain and cheering is the better
ment in the status of farmers, whose prod
ucts were selling at prices SO low as greatly
to cut down their buying power and hence to
depress large provinces of trade. Authori-
ties say that the upward trend of agricultural
interests means the addition of millions and
eventually billions of dollars to the currents
Of commerce. To her share of this general
improvement Georgia will add further gains
from more efficient system of marketing
for both cotton and food crops, SO that her on
coming seasons appear peculiarly rich in
promise.
For months there has been note of hope

meath our feet grows firm again, and, nat
urally, the stars above shine with friendliel

The Pig Census

The government proposes to take CEN
sus of the pig population of fourteen states,
including Georgia. The information will be
gathered by rural mail carriers, and is
for the use of the growers, that they may
so plan their operations and marketing
that supply and demand may retain their
proper relation. AS the census will be
strictly rural, the end-seat hog and the
man who helps himself to the best dish
first won't be included. The supply Of these
always exceeds the demand.-Tifton Gazette.
The enumerators will find hundreds of
pure-bred hogs on the Georgia farms.
