certainly lofty enough, and sincere. But it
is little difficult for us to picture the digni-
fed Mrs. Washington, of Mt. Vernon, going
about the countryside to inquire of the SWANS
if they have seen George. Whether this sim
Washington or what she may have thought of
it is, unfortunately, not recorded
One of the oldest looking manuscripts in
the exhibit is ga collection of the best psalm
tunes engraved by, Paul Revere and sold by
him and Josiah Flag, Boston, 1854"
The preface of the little old volume closes
with the quaint remark: est is hoped, it
will not diminish the Value of this Book in
the Estimation of an but may in some De-
gree recommend it even to these who have no
particular Relish for the Musick, that how
ever we are obliged to the other Side of the
Atlantick chiefly Tor our Tunes the Paper on
which they are printed is the Manufacture of
our own Country.
In spite of the intensely patriotic charac-
ter of the early music of the republic, almost
all the composers were foreign born. The
first native born American composer Francis
Hopkinson, is represented in the exhibit by
one of his manuscript song books and a let
ter written by him to Thomas Jefferson. 1t
was the son of this Francis Hopkinson who
wrote the words of Hail, Columbia
This first American composer was one of
the signers Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and his portrait hangs today in Decla-
ration Chamber of independence Hall, Phila-
delphia. 1t shows a man with mild ideal
istic face, holding quill pen.
Much of the music IF the colonial compos-
ers has passed into historic collections and
much into oblivion. The march written for
Jeffersons Inauguration and the national song
concentrating the Louisiana Purchase are
forgotten. But a few Of those exalted out
bursts of patriotism are still depended upon
to inspire patriotic emotion today. The
words to "The Star Spangled Banner" writ
ten during the war of 1912, place this famous
colonial music collection. The tune how
ever, was known and widely used long be-
fore. The melody had been first called
"Anacreon in Heaven and a song called
adams and Liberty had been sung to it
before Francis Scott Key wrote his set of
verses
"Hai, Columbia" both words and music,
survived this colonial era, and is now an
American classic. America" came later but
it's tune of "God Save the King" borrowed
from England, was prominent feature Of a
number of popular songs in colonial America.
Our most inspiring nationa' songs are
souvenirs of this golden age Of patriotic
music. Today, composers and poets seem
to have lost the knack Of producing nation
al songs. There is more demand for songs
about home, mother, and the girl, and the
law of supply and demand works just as
surely now as it did in 1890. But some
Americans believe that the Great American
national anthem is cot among these coloni-
al pieces. that it is still to be written in
another golden age Of patriotic song.

Our Sales to Mexico

PROPOS Of the expected announcement
n Of far-reaching covenant between
the United States and Mexico, 1t is
worth noting that that country is the only
one of Importance, Germany excepted, whose
purchases of American products in 1921 eX-
ceeded those of the year preceding. Our ex-
ports to Mexico in 1921 amounted in value
to two hundred and twenty-one million eight
hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars,
gain of nearly fourteen million over 1920
and of more than one hundred and sixty
seven million over the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1913, which was fairly representa-
tive of conditions before the war. Although
price advances since 1913 account for much
of the increase shown by these figures there
have been large gains also in the export vol
ume. Thus we shipped to Mexico in 1921
$685. barrels of wheat flour, as against
243, 439 in 1920; and some 40 100000 yards
of cotton cloth in 1921, as against 10000
600 yards in 1920, and only about 100000
yards in 1913. To this striking record Com
merce Monthly adds that exports Of iron
and steel pipes and fittings, which were used
mostly in the development of oil wells, in
creased from 38,06S gross tons in 1913 to
110,8 tons in 1920, and 113,035 in 1921"
These evidences of fast-growing COM
merce between Mexico and the United States
emphasize the Importance Of the two
tiOns coming to liberal and lasting pact of
goodwill. Their trade interests are so close
ly interknit and so certain to multiply with
the years that everything feasible should be
done not only to prevent misunderstanding
but also to foster the most cordial relation
ships. Recognition of the existing Mexican
Government by Washington has been
pected for months, and assuredly is deserv-
ed. 1t is now believed that there will be
more than mere recognition. Mr.. David Law
renee forecasts ga reciprocal treaty of friend
ship which will cover all fundamentals in
the controversy and make an enduring set
Element, treaty which nobody on either
side of the Rio Grande can afford to ignore"
1t is greatly to be hoped that this will prove
to be the event, and that these neighbors in
geography will come to be neighbors in deed
and in truth of heart.

looking sisters marry all around them, and IN
the end they generally pick up more or less
broken stick. For it is noticeable that the
great beauty seldom makes a great match.
The reason for this Of course, is because
nature holds the scale pretty even, alter all,
and when she gives woman maximum OIL
good looks, she is pretty apt to hand her out
the minimum of brain cells Inevitably,
there are many exceptions to this rule, but
in the main the easier on the eyes woman
is; the harder she is on the mentality OF those
with whom she comes in contact.
Therefore, men are content to let other
men hang the living picture on their wall
for they know that there is nothing on eartn
of which one can get so deadly tired of as gaz-
ing at painted face that is set in smlrk
and smile of beauty, that has behind 1t no
intelligence, no enthusiasm, no understand
ing, nothing to pique mans interest," anu
keep it alive.
There is no denying that pretty face
catches a mans eye, but the woman who
wants to keep his gaze from wandering, must
have something more than mere good looks.
She must have intelligence. She must nave
education. She must have sublety. She must
be psychologist enough to be able to pick
Ian to pieces, and know what he wants be-
fore he knows himself.
The pretty face will catch man. 1t IS
always good bait, but it takes strong line
of brains to hold him. The woman who has
nothing but her beauty with which to attract
good looks are matter of very few, short,
fleeting years.
But the woman who has beauty Of soul and
mind has that to which time adds, as age
and experience ripen her. The women whom
men love to the end of the chapter are those
who supplemented their cosmetics with study,
and who, having once attracted man bound
him to them by cleverness, by humor, by
sympathy, by being able to enter into the
mans affairs. 1t is the woman who can keep
man interested and entertained of whom
he never tires.
Therefore, girls, look to your line as we'll
as your bait when you become fisher Of
men, Devote as much time to improving your
mind as you do to identifying your body.
Put as many thought waves on the inside
of your head as you do permanent waves on
the outside. Put in as much time in reading
and study as you do on selecting your clothes.
Try as hard to listen good to a man as you
do to look good to him, and you will get bet
ter results.

D you ever go fishing, girls? # you do,
you know that it isn't enough just
49, to have good bait. You have to have
a strong, unbreakable line, also, or else your
fish will get away. You may hook it without
any trouble, but if all you have got is weak
thread for line, your catch will play around
WHILE and then break away, and swim
gai1y off to nibble at another attractive fly
That is the way with men. You can eaten
a man with a pretty face, but you have to
hOld him with brains. 1t isn't enough for
the outside of girls head to be handsomely
adorned. The inside has to be equally well
decorated. peaches and cream complexion,
and naturally wavy hair are all to the good
as far as they go, but they don't go TAR
enough. They have to be backed up with
gray matter if they are to be permanent at
traction that can always play return engage
ment with man.
Women see that men put such an over
valuation on female pulchritude that it IS
not surprising that they have fallen into the
error of thinking that their looks are the
only thing that counts. They see men Gus
tered seven deep around pretty little goose
who would be in a home for the feeble
minded if she were where she belonged. They
see men gazing soulfully into big liquid, cow
like eyes that instead of being windows OF
the soul are nothing but panes Of glass that
look into an empty room. They see men pass
I'D clever, intelligent, homely college gradu-
ates, in whose society one would never have
dull moment, for beautiful morons VINO are
so dull that they bore one to death.
So it is no wonder that girls think that
good looks are the only thing that matters,
and that they spend their time, and their en-
ergy, and their labor in perfectlng the tech
nique of their compilations, and contributing
new coiffeurs, and acquiring glad raiment.
Men, also, are under the illusion that Wom-
ans best bet is a pretty face, for the first
question they ever ask about an unknown
girl is: SIS she good looker?" Not: SIS she
Intelligent" "Is she Interestingly"
Furthermore, a man stresses his valuation
of a woman's appearance by always compli-
nenting her on her beauty when he wants to
please her. He tells her how wonderful her
eyes are, or how fairy-like her feet. He never
tells her how wonderfully understanding and
sympathetic she is, or how entertaining.
Perhaps men do not know themselves that
they require something more than pretty
face in woman. Perhaps they do not under
stand they are willing to let some other man
marry the beauty they admire so much. Per
haps this explains why great beauties nearly
always hang on, and on, while their less good

4 Courage-G;v;ug REPORT on
Business II. the Southeast

rvY7 HEN so high an authority as the
M Federal Reserve Bank, with it's wide
rc7ge of vision AMI it's strict adher-
ence to fact, reports marked Improvement
of business conditions in the Atlanta district,
the most cautious needs must be impressed.
Says this dependable observer touching de-
velopments since the middle of March,
There have been more expressions o.
optimism than It any time in the past
year and a half and the mental attitude
Of business men has undergone change
for the better, which, in itself is indica-
tive Of progress. Alphabetically, most
parts of the district are somewhat Jag
cling, because of the almost continual
rains, but the increases in prices Of farm
products during the past two or three
months have resulted in a considerably
improved outlook and better feeling
among the farmers, which has been al
most Immediately reflected in improve
ment in the commercial life Of the dis
trict."
In this betterment of agricultural prices
and the consequent gain in the farmers buy
ing power the Atlanta reserve district shares
"a countrywide cause for cheer NO single
group of American interests suffered SO
heavily in the economic reactions following
the war than did those which live by the soil.
While farm products declined in market value
to levels not infreqCently below those OF
1913 there was no compromising decrease In
the price of things tt farmer had to buy. AS
long as this i'll balanced state of affairs con-
tinued, it was inevitable that all currents of
trade which depended upon his patronage
would lag, particularly in region so dom
irantly agricultural a. the Southeast. The
turn Of the tide is now manifest in far-felt
and varied business quickening.
In the Atlanta district, according to the
Federal Reserve reports, industrial as well
as commercial conditions are improved. The
building trades are especially active. I'm
employment has notably decreased. Faith
deepens as spring advances and freshened
snirit of enterprise unfolds.

CONSERVE YOUR VISION
By H. -Addington Bruce

NF late some extensive surveys Of eye
J sight conditions have been made both
among children and among adults. The
findings go to bear out the often expressed
belief of eye specialists that weakness and
defects of vision are almost incredibly prev
alent.
Also the results Of the surveys indicate
that, in spite of all the publicity that has
been given to the Importance of conserving
the vision and to preventable causes of eye
strain, people pretty generally continue to
live and work without much thought to the
safeguarding of their sight.
Thus, of 1913 children examined in the
New York schools, according to the report
of the Hoover committee on the elimination
of waste in industry, 1883, or about per
cent, had defective vision. In Boston the
percentage was 13, the total number of
children examined being 92,552.
In Pennsylvania, 17.9 per cent defective
vision was found among 469,199 rural school
children. And in one Virginia county 26.6
per cent of !, 625 pupils examined were found
with defective vision, 81 per cent OF the
cases being serious.
Quite recently, as appears from a report
of the Eyesight Conservation Council OF
America, examination Of more than 10000
employees in factories, stores and offices
showed that So per cent had uncorrected
faulty vision The 'ouncil insists that it is
almost impossible to find man or woman
with perfect eyesight after the age Of forty.
Granting that Unborn eye weakness or de-
feet accounts in many cases for this de-
plorable showing, misuse of the eyes must
be deemed more largely responsible. Also
It Sc a fact that many people who need glasses
persist in doing without them until perhaps
severe strain results.
"Spectacles are such bother" IT can see
we'll enough are typical excuses offered.
Too few appreciate just how damaging eye
strain may be to them.
For it's effects are not merely local. They
reverberate through the whole organism, to
the injury both ones working power and
ones health. Even the character may be
insidiously undermined, so that the victim
of extreme eye-strain becomes, if not posi-
lively anti-social, Increasingly capable of
living in peace and harmony with others.
Wherefore the rule of safety is:
Consult good eye specialist at the first
suspicion Of eye trouble, and avert eye
trouble so far as pc ,sible by learning and
practicing the rules of eye hygiene.
Books and pamphlets giving these =. rules ss
are to be had at little cost. They will be
found in any good public library. Attentive
study and faithful application of the prln-
ciples they lay down may prove rapidly and
unexpectedly profitable.

4 Neuo Day IN Drama
DISTINGUISHED playwright tells the
N Drama League of America that new


~ Drama League of America that new
day has dawned in that realm of in
terests to which it is devoted The travelling
company he observes is fast becoming a
thing bygone so that henceforward the
country, as whole, will not get it's drama
from one all-dominant center. "It we wait
for Broadway to send us drama we shall wait
for long while. Unless we have our own
drama through individual organizations in
the medium-sized and small towns, the coun-
try will enter into the dark ages as far as
drama is concerned, and there will be no
drama except in the densely populated areas
where it is now produced"
If this change serves to enkindle drmatic
interest and foster dramatic talent in divers
regions and cities it should be thousand
times welcome, for thus it will usher in a
variety and a fruitfulness which heretofore
have been sadly wanting. So long as there
was dependence on Broadway, there was GER
tain to be impoverishment of ideas and of
efforts elsewhere, and hence failure to
make American drama truly American. But
if there are sundry centers of development
and production, a wealth of local color and
of fresh impulse will be utilized; and out Of
it all will grow an art at once more Eastern,
more Southern, more Western and Withal
more American than yet has flowered. The
little theater' and all other institutions and
endeavors that trend in this direction should
be heartily supported.

Don't Strike Your Wife

RHODE ISLAND tailor bought an au-
in learning to handle. He struck his
wife with the car and inflicted painful IN
iuries, Including broken bones.
Remembering his liability insurance, ne
suggested to his wife that she file claim
against him for damages, which she did. He
presented the claim to the insurance COM
pany which turned it down. Then the tailor
brought suit against the company to compel
it to pay the claim.
An interesting question is thus presented to
the Rhode Island courts. The insurance COM
pany claims that there is no law enabling
wife to recover damages from her husband Tor
personal injuries. 1t claims that the tailor
and his wife were living together happily be-
fore the mishap, and are still enjoying do
nestle harmony, and that the suit is mere
subterfuge to collect money on the policy.
Yet if the tailor had run over his neighbor's
wife there would have been no question OF
the company's liability, and the damages
would have been paid without litigation.
Moral: Blow your horn when approaching
your wife. If she does not move, stop your
car.
Science is 4 great help in waiting for street
car. They say thousand years is but day to
a scientist.

Henry's Job


Henry Ford was once nearly fired.
The time once was when the worlds rich
est man worked for a salary and he didn't
please his boss $50 much" as is attested by
a memorandum now in the possession of
Alex Dow head of the Detroit Edison COM
pany, and one of the most cherished docu-
ments of that person.
When Henry Ford first came to Detroit,
more than thirty years ago, he went to work
for the Detroit Edison company then in its
infancy, as an engineer, while at the same
time he experimental with "gas wagon"
as it was then called. And this same 'gas
wagon" was the "fly' in the ointment for
his bosses.
The memorandum written by head of
the company and now in possession of Alex
Dow, the present head, says Fire Ford if
he can't devote less time to that damn gas
wagon.
Today Dow often sits in his office and
chuckIes at this note and wonders just what
the world would have missed if the Edison
company had carried out it's intentions.

Franklin County in the Lead

Commenting on the production of cotton
in Georgia counties last year the Lavonia
Time states that Franklin County comes to
the front this year as the biggest cotton pro-
ducing county in the state. This is quite an
honor for the county since there are almost
hundred counties in Georgia bigger than
Franklin. This is the first time in history
that Franklin has ever enjoyed this honor
ard we fear the last in history. The South
