THE ROMAN OF 1913.

It Commodore Perry who sent the
thrilling message after the battle of Lake Erie:
I'VE have met the enemy and they are ours
The pulse of every true American beats faster
at these words. For Perry's victory, against
great odds, was one of the bravest and most
remarkable exploits in naval history.
The battle took place on September 10. 1913.
But we must remember that not all the heroic
work was done upon that day. AS with so
May historical events, examples of less strik-
ing devotion have been passed by. overshadowed
by the greater event.
So it is fitting today to call attention to the
career of Peter Naverre. A pioneer and scout
born of French parents in Detroit, he it was who
took the orders from General Harrison to Perry
which precipitated the battle of Lake Erie.
His task was difficult, and called forth all
the craft and hardihood of the true woodsman.
Naverre knew the Indians well, and the British
had set a price of thousand dollars on his head.
This did not daunt him. Ordered to deliver the
message at spot some eighty miles from Gen
eral Harrison's camp, he set forth. The peril
from the enemy was increased by storm which
broke over his head. Running by night slyly
slipping from tree to tree in the daytime, he
delivered the message.
A salute, the passage of an oilslin passage
from one hand to another, and Peter Naverre
plunged again into the woods Tt was his hand

chief Yet the old scout never given proper
reward by his government He was content
He had had the opportunity to serve and save
America and that was enough for him. Peter
Navarro died in poverty not many years ago, at
the age of eighty-nine. One event shone forth
in his memory to the last-he had delivered the
message.

Let the Sky Help
By H. Arlington Bruce

a RE YOU. I wonder among the unfortu-
~ nate many who take the marvellous,
beautiful sky as matter Of course
a restful eject on the mind no less than
a casual glance, even when 1T presents the
most glorious of colors, the most impress
sive cloud effects?
If so, let me tell you that you are missing
a great deal. And you are missing not
merely many an opportunity to develop your
aesthetic sense-itself matter of consid-
cradle Importance. You missing much
that would be of practical help to you in
your everyday affairs.
Often, no doubt, in the course of your
daily work, fatigue of body and mind as
sails you. Even your eyes feel strained
and tired. Perhaps, indeed, eye-strain is
the principal cause of the general WEAKNESS
that from time to time afflicts you.
This may we'll be the case, in view of the
fact that, according to good authorities, the
human eye is better adapted for distant
than for near vision. Hence a severe tax
is put upon it by the demands of the mod
ern working life, involving, as this usually
does, near vision rather than distant.
Accordingly. eye specialists recommend,
both as measure conserving the eyesight
and a preventive of fatigue, frequent
gazing away from ones work and into the
distance. Some specifically suggest frequent
looking up at the sky-though, of course
not at that quarter of it wherein the sun
is shining.
Frequent gazing skyward, moreover, has
rastful effect on the mind no less than
on the eyes-and an charging effect.
Lift your eyes occasionally from your
immediate work., exhorts modern moral
list, land take long-range view Of Gods
beautiful and inspiring creation. Look
away into the depths of the distant sky
and let your spirit find wing in the infinite.
"Give your mind freedom to wander
where it may in the universe Of space sur
rounding you. This mental excursion will
bring you spiritual refreshment and many
healthful ideas, so that you will return to
your regular duties with exaltation and
new courage"
Do not smile at this as the language Of
poetic exaggeration. Experiment on your
own account in occasional sky-gazing and
you VIII soon find that your working power
actually has noticeably increased.
Especially will you find this resulting if,
when away from work, in your periods of
leisure, you at times devote, not few mo-
ments merely, but some minutes, to medi-
tatlve contemplation of the sky. Strength
giving suggestions will come to you from
1t-sug gestions aiding you to meet more
manfully and with clearer vision the Der
plexlt1es and problems that from day to
day arise.
Your whole philosophy of life, If it is
now narrow and petty, will little by little
be improved You will become less and
less self-centered, to your great gain And
as you grow in insight you will grow. too.
In power to make your dreams and your
ambitions come true.
So no longer go your way paying no
heed to the sky. Let it help you-as most

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

A MAN claims that he has invented a
II serum that compels the individual
N into whose veins it is injected to tell
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.
This is interesting, If true, as the news
papers say when printing an improbable
story, but it is safe to say, there are few
that will ever test the powers Of the truth
serum. To be inoculated against smallpox,
or rabies, or the flu, or typhoid, is one
thing. To be rendered immune to white
lies is another pair of sleeves altogether.
For in our secret hearts we all know that
we have neither the nerve to tell the exact
truth to others, or the courage to hear it
about ourselves. 1t is only the pleasant
little taradiddles that we toss back and
forth between each other that makes human
intercourse possible.
Imagine state of society in which every
body had had a shot of the truth serum!
Picture evening party with everybody
standing around looking as bored as they
feel!
There is no amiable looking hostess wear
ing the smile that won't come off. Instead
there is a weary woman who calculates from
time to time, "Thank God, this is nearly
over, and when I've fed these brutes will
have paid off the last of my dinner dehts!'
Nor when Miss Smithers consents to
oblige with few recitations is there fiat
tering~ futter of hand claps from an out
wardly admiring audience. In place of it
a hollow groan Of despair goes up from the
assembled company for experience has
taught them the awful ordeal they are
about to undergo. Neither when Miss
Smithers finishes numbering "Littu1 M-a-a-
abel with her face against the window
pa-a-ane," Is there chorus of voices de-
handing to know why, with her marvellous
talent, she doesn't go upon the stage. In
stead, she is told plainly, and fatty, and
truly that she hasn't vestige of talent
and that she is a perfect figure of fun try
ing to do the heavy pathetic.
Nor when Mr.. Jiggs begins to sing do
people crowd around the piano and beg for
more, and tell him that he makes John
Mccormack sound like a cracked phono-
graph record. On the contrary, there is a
general exclamation that it is time to go
home If that Bull of Bashan is going to
below, and everyone beats it.
Fancy the closing scene Of the evening
with no guest smiling sweetly and saying,
'T have had a perfectly wonderful time"
and the hostess replying amiably that you
make any party success. Instead the
veracious guest, who cannot tell a lie be-
cause he or she has had a shot of the
truth serum, saying, 81 have had a perfect
ly rotten evening, and how you ever get
so many tiresome people together passes
me, and if you call the little dab of bird
seed you gave us for supper feed, you've
got another guess coming. It's me for a
steak and onions on the way home, I'm
hungry" To which the truthful hostess re-
torts: Ell just invited you because I had
to, and if you had any sense you would
see that this is cleanup party that any
thing is good enough for"
Would there be any more entertaining
if hostess and guests handed each other
out the frozen truth? Mighty little, I

At a recent opera in Paris two gentlemen
appeared in one of the boxes wearing purple
suits with pink collars and lining. They rep
resented the effort now being made to bring
bright and cheerful colors into mems fash
ions. 1t has often been suspected that the
male of/the human species longs secretly for
the gorgeous and brilliant costumes of ear
lier days and that he would gladly throw off
the yoke of conservatism which has made
his costume sober uniform.
The success of the Partisan movement ap-
pears to be doomed from the start, how
ever for the ladies don't like it. They say the
innovation must not be. The traditional black
of mems formal dress is absolutely essential
to any brilliant gathering in order properly
to set off and enrich the colorful gowns of
the women. 1t is an interesting point and
may lead to a fashions war.
Men might take hint from the recent
development of womens fashions in dress
and begin to strike for their freedom through
their sporting attire.
They might go in for colorful sports

THE TRUTH SERUM

trow And as for pleasant, casual inter-
course with ones fellow creatures, fancy
Mrs. A. calling upon Mrs. B., who is the
fond mother Of four infant prodigies, each
more beautiful and more gifted than the
other Mrs. B. does a monologue about
how wonderful her John is, and what they
say about him at school, and how admired
her Mamie is, and how many beaux she
has, and what cunning things her little
Tommy says, and her little Sally does. Mrs.
A. listens with rapt expression, and ex-
claims from time to time, "Isn't he perfect
ly wonderful! What belle Mamie is!
Now, isn't that the cleverest thing you ever
knew a child to dol" and Mrs. A. beams
on Mrs. B., and loves her like sister,
But far otherwise would it be if Mrs. B.
were truthful Jane, and if she said, FOR
goodness sake Mrs. A., can't you realize
that you are the greatest bore on earth,
and that everybody you know is tired to
death Of hearing about your children, who
are the most ordinary, commonplace bunch
of youngsters that anybody could round up!'
Do you think that Mr.. x. would joyride
Miss T. around in his automobile, and take
her to places of amusement il, instead or
telling him how big, and strong, and wise,
and what wonderful driver, and what a
connoisseur in food he is, and what taste
he has in picking out plays she said to
him:
You certainty 10 make me Clr6u, anu
there are times when l get so weary listen
ing to you talk about yourself that I feel
like screaming, but you are certainly one
grand little meal ticket, and I'll annex you
for life if something better doesn't come
along"
And imagine a happy home with both
husband and wife doped up on the truth
serum. Husband doesn't kid wife along a
little bit by telling her that she grows
younger and more beautiful every day, and
that he believes that his guardian angel
was working overtime when he got her for
wife.
No. He says, "My word, but it is a good
thing for the matrimonial business that a
man can't see how the girl he picks out for
wife is going to look ten years after the
ceremony. Gee, If I had had any premo-
milton that your complexion was only yours
by right Of purchase, and that you would
have a thirty-six-inch waist measure, and
three chins, and that you couldn't cook,
and had the bargain counter habit, and
were afflicted with nerves and temper, there
would have been no wedding bells for me. p"
And suppose wife gave hubby the once
over and said, IT wonder where the fool
killer was the day that took this fat, bay
Widowed, bald thing for the ideal of my
girlish dreams I am SO tired of listening
to his old stories, and talk about the store,
that am about to yawn my head off. And
every time I have to corkscrew carl fare out
of him, I feel like putting Rough on Rats
in his coffee"
No. The truth serum won't do in real
life 1t wouldn't do to inoculate us with
it. Our system wouldn't stand it.

Rasum's Universal Rabots
BY DR.. Frank Crane

mere mas recently appeared in Prague an
interesting play under the title "R. U. R."
Inc following is summary of the piece:
"A DOCTOR named Rasum succeeded IN in
venting a human automaton, human being
except for the fact that it had no soul and
no power of reproducing itself
These machines were turned out in largo
quantities and were excellent for use in far
tories and in armies The firm of Rasum
Ltd, supplied them in hundreds to factories
street car companies and mines for work
which human beings do. not like to do, and in
quantities OF thousands to states for use in
armies as cannon fodder
The imagination can easily grasp the pos
sibilities of this invention.
According to the playwright, however, the
Rabots, as they are called, combine and
make war against the real people with the
souls and they destroy DR.. Rasum and his fac
tory and even the plan and the secret where
by the Rabots are made
They also destroy the real people, all but
one, and a great sadness comes upon the
world as it is realized that man must die out
At the end of the play, however, a soul is
born in one of the Rabots and he is touched
to love and SO obtains the power to reproduce
the species, and the human story recon-
mences
This resume of the play is quoted from
Stephen Graham's account.
Just what sort of excitement and comment
the idea will arouse in laborers' literary cir
cles it would be curious to see.
At all events it is en- original and striking
idea, and it is to be noted that some of the
most novel conceptions in drama, in music,
and in art have come from the Slavs.
In several respects the new country of
Czecho-Slovakia in the opinion of many, is
the most hopeful state in Europe
1t is developing a racial sef-confidence il
I,,c{H oRoI h. CoI0o IxxxI.s IL
means the People for Itself, which is inscrib-
at Prague.
By common consent the Czech people are
abandoning the use of the German language,
and there is remarkable passion throughout
the country for learning English.
A large portion of the Roman Catholic
clergy have split from Rome and founded a
Czech national church. The Pope has ex-
communicated them, but they do not seem
to mind that much. national Catholicism
without an infallible Pope reminds one of the
English State Church and of the Greek
Church.
The Slavs are great believers in unity They
have invented the word "Pan-humanity.''
Czecho-Slovakia probably has a warmer
feeling toward the United States than any
other European nation. 1t owes much to the
American millionaire Charles Crane, and
Prague is the one capital of the world where
Wilson's name and fame is still bright.
Cranes SON is minister for the United
States, and Cranes daughter-in-law, paint
ed by Mucha, is engraved on the new hundred
crown note.
Masaryk, the president, owes much to the
United States and is warm admirer of this
country He has been elected by reclamation
president for life, although after him the term
of the president is to be limited to seven years
and he may not serve two terms.

VIM Not Use Cotton Boys?
IN IT'S praiseworthy effort to encourage
the use of cotton containers for shipments

IN ITS praiseworthy effort to encourage
the use of cotton containers for shipments
of sugar, rice and similar commodities,
the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association
merits full-hearted support not only in its
home region but also throughout the United
States.
AS one of the country's peculiarly impor-
tant products-the one which more than any
other has maintained Americas favorable bal
ance of trade and on the market value OF
which depends the purchasing power or null
titudes of farmers-cotton is of concern to
thoughtful business factors the nation over.
In promoting its uses and thus upbu1ldlng the
prosperity of its growers they will serve their
own substantial interests. Particularly is
this true of merchants and shippers in the
cotton belt where gain of only half cent
a pound in the price of this staple will pour
millions Of dollars into the channels OF trade
More extensive use of cotton bags for ship
ping sugar and certain grains is urged be-
cause of the better market which this demand
will bring about for grades OF cotton not we'll
suited to textiles. Thus could be utilized, to
the advantage of all interests, thousands OF
bales which now offtimes go begging. That
containers made of such cotton are quite sat-
isfactory is cordially attested by the shippers
who have tried them. From New Orleans
sugar refinery comes the statement: The
cotton package is a much prettier one than
the burlap; also the cotton bag can be used
to good purpose after the sugar has been re-
moved. In Texas seventy-five per cent Of our
shipments are by preference in cotton bags"
In like vein the Savannah Sugar Refining
Corporation: For the past year we have
been using this type Of bag and have found
it satisfactory. Besides, it makes a very at
tractive package. We have shipped thus to
all jobbers who specified their preference for
cotton bags and shall continue to supply the
trade with this type of package when re-
quested."
Evidently, then, jobbers and merchants
have it within their power to increase the use
of cotton in this connection and thereby to
quicken a prime source of prosperity. AS the
Southern Wholesale Grocers Association we'll
observes: 'rThe number Of cotton bags that
would be used as result of manifest inter-
est by one or two grocers would have, of
course. no effect on the consumption of cot
ton, but if four thousand would give the mat
ter consideration and insist upon the use of
cotton bags, the results at once would be as
founding. At least, the market would be re-
lieved of grade of cotton which under pres
ent conditions does not find adequate de-
mand; and that accomplished, the better
grades would enhance in value" 1t is great
ly to be desired that Georgia merchants whose
broadcast veal depends multiplied uses of
Georgia products, will heed this seasOnable
suggestion and do loyal part toward making
it widely effective.

4 Lesson From, North Carolina

~ EORGIA will do well to take leaf
from North Carolina in the matter
of highway construction. A twelve
month ago that Commonwealth adopted
better-roads program which provided for an
annual expenditure of ten thousand dollars
for period of five years. Not day was
lost in getting the work under way and the
money into circulation. Soon the effects be-
gan to grow manifest in towns and country
sides alike. Communities that were not far
from sloughs of despond, because of the de-
preston of cotton and tobacco markets,
p1ucked up new courage. Farmers and bust
ness men who had seen scarce glimmer
ahead, realized that light was breaking.
Says Mr.. Arthur Page, Highway Commits
sioner: "The good roads program was the
salvation Of the State; in addition to i'm
mediate and tangible benefits, believe that
as an advertisement it will be worth all that
it will cost" From an outside observer who
came South to see as he puts it, what omens
of reviving prosperity there were and what
evidences of accomplished Improvement in
business and industry, we have this testi-
monial: while no claim is made that all
vestiges of depression have disappeared . {.
it is declared that substantially all North
Carolina is on the upgrade; that the domi-
nant note now is one not only of hope but of
optimism, and that the people are bending
to their work with marked degree of
and confidence" The same OBJ
server, writing in the Manufacturers Rec
ord, adds: with the State as an example, in
dividual initiative and enterprise seem to
have been vigorously aroused
Will not the launching of the proposed
seventy-five-million-do highway bond is
sue in Georgia prove equally stimulating
and constructive Can this good Common
wealth, with so much at stake in progress
and prestige afford to lag when her neigh
bors are going greatly forward? Should not
her people in every district and county not
yet militantly enlisted in this cause organize
forthwith and press persistently for the sue
cess of the good roads bond issue?
