MADE ~, GEORGIA
THE educational opportunities of made
in Georgia Week." observance of

in Georgia Week. observance of
which begins tomorrow. are vast and
wonderfully varied By learning for them
selves and then teaching others what their
Commonwealth affords in products and in re-
sources Georgians will be wiser, weather.,
frmer in patriot faith, fleeter in the ways of
progress.
Like most people born amid bounties they
are strangely unaware of the sweep and rich
ness of their good fortune. They scarcely
realize that they dwell in State whose area
is larger than England and Wales com bined,
more than half as large as all Italy, nearly
five times as large The Netherlands, and
that within these spacious bounds are stored
the natural treasures of an empire. They
scarcely realize the abe of what it means to
live where herds Craze in the open the
twelvemonth through, and where staple crops
are grown from two hundred and ten to two
hundred and sixty days of the year. They
rejoiced that the Government placed within
their State eleven of the World War army
training camps, but did they duly reflect upon
what that signifed as touching the health
fulness and blandness of their climate? They
are vaguely proud of their traditions and
modestly confident OF their future; but do
they know that their soil is richer in history
than New Eng1ands and their prospect rich
in Industrial power?
The prime object of made in Georgia
Week. should be to make Georgians better
informed concerning the breadth and length
and manifoldness of their birthright to the
end that they may see their common oppor-
tunities and work in loyal fellowship for their
development and forward-speeding. This
done, there will be no need of urging the
worth of Georgia products and the patron
age of home industries. Rather, the output of
these fertile fields and efficient manufacture
ing plants will be, as they deserve to be- first
ir thought and favor, not only in home mar
kets, but far and wide. To know Georgia is
to believe in her To spread knowledge of
the much that she is and the more that
she can be is to release unlimited power for
prosperity and progress.

Names REPLACE Numbers

you see in the street cars these days,
~ latest tendency is away from the pol
icy of intense materialism that broke
out years ago in the effort to reduce employees
to cogs in machine and changed their
names to numbers. The Fifth Avenue Coach
company of New FORK has gone bit farther.
It has taken the number off the employees
cap and on his lapel placed neat badge with
his name-and Mr. in front of it, for good
measure.
All in the right direction, too.
\ The old materialistic system viewed a man
as machine or part of one, and his labor
as commodity. AS far as possible-and it
was pretty far-not thought was given his
mental and emotional side. 1t vas consider
ed better that he should not have an emotion
al side, in particular.
But the man had an emotional side,
nevertheless.
And the new plan is to recognize it, and
let him know it is recognized and recon-
mend to the public with whom that employe
comes in contact that the public also recog-
nize him as a man with name, not cog
with number.
And the new plan is to recognize it, and
Is no personality in a collection of figures,
and little impulse to courtesy and considera-
tion, either by the figures or to the figures.
With names it is different. Shakespeare
may have made small distinction between
names, but he inevitably would have made
plenty of distinction between name and a
number,

PECULIARLY welcome phase Of the
~ WASHINGTON conference on armament
reduction was that which allayed
anxiety over competitive battlefield building
between America and Japan.
While there had been no acknowledged
contest and no show of i'll humor, 1t was I'M
easily felt that affairs were drifting in that
direction With the best Of reasons for re-
naming friends and cooperating in the in
terests of world peace and progress, the two
nations nevertheless were counting warships
each against the other. Our own navy,
greatly augmented i the course of the war,
was forging steadily, swiftly forward; and
out of every dollar of the billions pouring
from the national treasury, more than nine
ty cents was going to pay for the costs of war
past or prospective. In Japan battleships
were being planned and built at rate un-
precedented in that country's annals.
For what purpose? Alarmists there said
it was imperative to keep America from get
ting too far ahead, While alarmists here said
it was imperative to keep Japan from catch
ing up. A costly game it was, and peril
Gus. When, therefore, Japan agreed to
stand by moral ratio of 5-5-3 for America,
Great Britain and herself, respectively, there
was all-round satisfaction, which was height
ened by the annulment Of the Br1tlsh-J apa-
nese alliance and the substitution of the
Four-Power Pacific pact.
That Japan is faithfully carrying out her
part of the general armament reduction pro-
gram is witnessed to by the suspension of
naval construction of the great Nagasak1
Works. CURRENT HISTORY records that this
affected the new battleship Tosa but recently
launched, and the battle cruiser Takao. 1t
was necessary for the Government to make
special provision to prevent serious ills in
suddenly leaving thousands unemployed. But
the losses and inc 1nveniences were cheerfully
borne, it seems, in fulfillment Of the interna-
tionaI agreement. Dispatches announce,
moreover, the beginning of the Japanese
evacuation of Shantung. These evidences of
good faith and of earnest purpose in the
promotion Of world peace are highly welcome
and are worthy of heart-whole reciprocation.

Who is so powerful as the preacher that

But he that is long of wind driveth the sim

She rejoiceth in the comforts of the time and

For 10, little of anything, save murder and
burglary, is good thing. But TOO MUCH of
anything, even of religion and love- is sin.
And the Sin of Sins is OVERRIDING; which
turneth virtue into vice, harmless pleasure
into devouring monster, natural appetite
into guttony love into hatred, and matrimony
to divorce.
Therefore, blessed be he that knoweth when
to STOP.

NEW YORK CITY, May 17.-Children
N used to be sold into slavery. Until
recently the Chinese were accustomed
to preventing an over-abundance Of females
by abandoning certain proportion of girl
babies. American women always SILVER
daintily over these foreign eccentricities,
yet in this country today thousands of chill
dren are being disposed of as though they
were puppies or kittens.
A six-months' investigation, recently
made by the New York State Charities Aid
Association, revealed the appalling fact
that, in addition to the large number of
infants annually abandoned in New York
City, baby day is given away through
advertisements in the daily newspapers.
Several specially significant facts emerge
as result of this Investigation says the
associations report First, it is clear
that large numbers of unmarried mothers
are surrendering their babies to strangers
about whose morals personality financial
standing and standards of living they know
nothing. Second, that married couples are
surrendering legitimate children without
adequate reason and in the same haphazard
method. Third, that children of unknown
history and family traits, who are possibly
feeble-minded, psychopathic or tainted with
hereditary disease, are being foisted
upon ignorant but in many cases we'll
meaning foster parents. Fourth, that such
indiscriminate giving away of children not
only works great hardships upon individual
children and individual foster parents, but
also has the effect of discrediting consci-
entious and intelligent home finding done
by competent child-placing agencies. In
all fairness to the babies and to persons
honestly seeking to adopt children, legisla-
ton should be enacted to end this indiscrim-
mate exchange of infants
The attention of the association was first
drawn to the matter through the appeal
made to it by a desperate young mother,
who had been unable successfully to dis
pose of her child through the advertising
method. The girl-she was scarcely more
than a child herself-described her ire
mendous difficulties in attempting to care
for the child; how eventually she had adj
vertised for some one to adopt it; how it
had finally been placed-and then returned.
After that, she advertised several times,
always with the same result. Each time
she thought she had seen the last of the
infant, it was returned to her, usually "be-
cause it CRIED
Cases Investigated

mediately put to work on the case He

clipped baby advertisements followed them
up and made some astonishing discoveries.
He found that in most cases the parents
cared little for the moral and financial char
acter of the individual willing to adopt
their offspring. On the other hand, he
found that the persons willing to adopt
such children exhibited surprisingly little
interest in the child's heredity or previous
environment.
In one case the State Charities Aid Asso-
citation was called upon by an eccentric
bachelor who wanted to adopt little girl
The usual list of interrogations revealed
the fact that he had no settled establish
ment and no prospect of ever having one,
that he was unmarried and that he lived in
almost complete isolation, without commu-
nication with relatives or friends. These
circumstances, together with the mans
peculiar personality, led the association to
refuse his application. Some time later, he
called again, triumphantly displaying the
photograph of a little girl he had secured
for adoption through an advertisement.
Two years later the papers announced that
the child had been taken from him on the
ground of improper guardianship.
In another instance, a little white boy
was found living in the home OF colored
couple, who had secured him through an
advertisement. They had given him the
best of care and were devoted to him, but
that the child would be better off in the
hands Of foster parents Of his own race.
The associations report goes on to say
that the mother of baby who is not want
ed needs help-not help to get rid Of the
baby quickly and easily, but help in work
ing out plan which will preserve or re-
establish so far as possible the self-respect
Of everyone concerned. The mother needs
to be protected against herself. She may
think that by giving away her baby she
can put him out Of her life, that she can
forget that she had ever been mother,
but this Is not true.
Presumably what has been going on in
New York has been going on all over the
country, and the children who are placed
through newspaper advertisements are only
a small part of those who without any legal
procedure are passed along from one indi-
vidual to another, on and on without any
attempt to protect the interest Of the child
or the foster family, or to keep any record
Of the childs identity.
This evil has fourished especially during
the past few years since the demand for
children for adoption has become SO great
greater than the supply in fact. AS in all
cases of scarcity there has been a rise in
value, so that babies can now often be dis
posed of at considerable profit to their
parents.

DEMOCRACY IN LOVE

Nothing adds to the gaicty of life more
than the newly aristocratic, but when peo-
pie begin to take the color of their blood
seriously, the matter ceases to be humorous
and becomes tragic. Boys are kept from go
ing into the trades for which their natural
aptitudes fit them, and in which they could
make fortunes and are thrust into profess
sions for which they lack the qualifications,
and where they fail because they belong to
families in which the men have been doc
tors, or lawyers, or teachers.
Matches are broken off and hearts wound
ed, and lives wrecked, because silly, old, caste
bound women are still pinning their faith
to the We're de We're stuff. Therefore, John,
one of whose remote ancestors was signer
of the Declaration of Independence, mus not
marry Sally Jones who is good, and pretty,
and sweet, but whose father never signed
anything but check where his name was
mighty highly respected at the bank.
And Mary isn't permitted to marry Tom
Smith whom she loves with all her heart be-
cause Tom is nobody, and doesn't go with
her set, and Mary lives to see the day when
Tom is United States senator, and his
wife's limousine splashes mud on her as
she walks to and from her daily work.
1t is right that girl should consider the
blood that runs in the veins of the man she
marries, and know something of his family.
She should find out if he has clean blood,
free from thu faint Of heredi' Try diseases,
and she should know the stock from WI h
he springs, whether they are honest, decent
people, who have taught their children to go
true and straight, or to be thieves and crooks.
But that is about all that INNS family
amounts to, so far as his eligibility as a hus-
banl comes to. The balance is all up to the
man himself. The pretense of aristocracy is
joke because there are mighty few Ameri-
can families in whc. you go back three
or four generations without stumbling over
a wash tub or spade. Position is farce,
because the wheel turns round and those who
are up today, are down tomorrow.~-4t does
not even pay to marry for money, because
the youth who was a catch at twenty-five is
often pauper at fifty, while often the poor
boy has become a millionaire by middle age.
Therefore, a girl is foolish who lets the
dead rule her. and pick out husband for
her, or who is bound by the snobbery of her
family. Let her marry the man she wants,
irrespective of who his grandparents were.
It is a mans future that matters, not his
past, and there is more profit in making a
name for yourself than there is in Dragging
about one that somebody else made.

Da;ry;rg Through College


ing out new plan to help ambitious
farm boys to get college education,
and at the first reading it may rouse a smile
to learn that a student who matriculated
there recently was permitted to bring with
him two dairy cows and to stable them in
the college barns. He tends them himself
and their product is more than paying his
expenses in college.
Never was it so desperately hard as now
for the farm boys and the farm girls to go to
college. Deflation in agriculture made it
stern problem for the farmer to meet mini
mum expense without anything extra in the
way Of an education, even the kind of educa-
ton that fits the boy or the girl for better
farming.
With the success of the darying project
the institution at Saltwater now is contem-
plating the encouragement Of It's students
who need such aid to experiment in poultry
and in pigs.
The time-honored Nage-earning methods of
moving lawns in the college towns, washing
dishes and waiting on table, all took more
time than tending couple Of COWS or some
chickens, and are not so interesting-and by
no means as useful in training the student
in the practical things Of modern farm life.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

y A girl of good family is in love with a
young man Of no fami-J at all Her ances-
tors came over to America in tn Mayflower,
or with Lord Baltimore. or in some other
in America, via the steerage of an immigrant
ship.
The young man is himself unexceptionable.
He Is intelligent, we'll educated, we'll man
nered, gentleman. Also he is climber who
is already making a place for himself in the
sun, but the girl does not know whether to
marry him or not because he does not belong
to her own caste.
Suppose he doesn't, what of it? It's the
man himself and not his pedigree that con-
Germs his wife, and surely it is better to have
a husband with a future than one with past
Likewise, woman can be a million times
more proud Of man who Is doing things
himself, than she can Of one whose grand
father, or great, great grandfather did some
thing.
Of all forms of fulfil vanity surely the most
pitiful is that whi~h is founded on ancestor
worship, and which puffs out its poor little
pu~ = chest, and struts around, backing in
the glory of others. 1t Is too weak and fee
BILE to achieve anything itself 1t is too dull,
and stupid, and lacking in energy and pur-
pose to do anything on its own account, but
it lives on the reputation Of dead and gone
men and women who had the ability to carve
out a fortune for themselves.
Yet how many of these weaklings we
proud to work at anything but mahogany desk
jobs because their families used to be rich
and important before the Civil War. Insig-
nificant people who never let you forget for
an instant that their great, great, great
grandfather, or granduncle was a governor,
or Judge! Down-and-out people who have
never seen the opportunities that came their
way because they We. always lookin ack
on the past grandeur of their forebears!
Cultivating family tree in America, where
we are all constitutionally born free and
equal is merely hobby that is interesting to
the cultivator, and amusing to the onlooker

idle hour. If it makes the Adamses and

ALBANY, N. Y, May 20.-"The Cohoes
Mastodon, having stood in his homes before
the public for fifty years, has now resumed
his natural aspect as he appeared at the time
of his lamented death some thousands of
years ago, during the waning stages Of the
great ice age; and invites you to be pres

issued from the New York state museum by
those who have been interested in the first
return to worldly appearance of the Ameri-
can Mastedon. The invitation was accom-
panied by a small card that said: "The

a select number of his personal friends.
The Cohoes Mastodon is the only life size
scientific restoration that has ever been made
of the American Mastodon. 1t was executed
by Noah T. Clarke and Charles P. Heiden-

of the muscular anatomy and proportions of
the animal as derived from exact measure

by comparison with external form, skin text

The American Mastoden had i coat Of hair
which somewhat resembled the hair Of pres

and longer. 1t was thus adapted to the low
temperature which prevailed in this region
at the breaking up of the Ice Age. 1t was

Mastodons must have roamed these swampy
regions in hands comparable in number to
those of the Buffalo on the western plains SO

Faith .He7bs an Athlete

A 7 the age of thirty-four years, which is
~ elderly for an athlete of the intensive
type, Clarence DeMar won the Ameri-
can Marathon race, possibly the most severe
test Of endurance the annals of sport include
This achievement is doubly remarkable
when it is recalled that eleven years ago, in
the heyday of his early 'twenties, DeMar won
his first Marathon victory; he is not one of
those late-blooming athletes who make up
in later years for the slow start their more
leisurely developments permitted.
Before running the 1922 race, DeMar says
he knelt and prayed for a return of the
strength and speed and stamina that gained
him his victory in 1911.
In this last race the runner lost four
pounds and the finishing miles were sheer
agony. Yet, says DeN1ar, he "felt himself
pushed along by the power of an answered
prayer"
Now, this much appears plain:
Prayer gave DeMar faith, or was the ex-
preston of great faith that was in him.
With faith, man is more than without it
more than himself, at times. Without it,
failure usually is the harvest And whether
DeMar's prayer answered not, the
faith that was in him carried him over the
terrible last mile Of the long grind.
And maybe it is not improper to say
that that was an answer to prayer.
