Reduction in the Overhead" Now
Practiced by the Shoemaker
is Condemned.

Climbing into ones boots is not as
easy a matter today as it was when
we were all a few years younger. The
manufacturers have cut out the loop
of some stout fabric that used to 20
at the back of the top Of the shoe and
that always used to 'bust"-remem-
ber?-when you were trying to Jam
a damp foot in a wet sock into a mud
dy boot after you had been swim
min.
AS to its loss, opinion seems to be
evenly divided. Some men say they
never used the darned things and al
ways cut them off. Others complain
that the effort to get shod without
the straps gives them symptoms Of
apoplexy.
Anyhow, it's another little reduction
in the overhead, and the wishes of
customers were not consulted, the New
York Sun insists.
Another insidious boot change that
has happened within the last few years
is the disappearance of the little
catches for crossing the upper half of
the lacing. We have holes now all the
way up, and the consequence Is that
a fellow has to pull the string out Of
three or four or five of the top holes
and to weave it through again after
he has put on his shoes In the morn
ing when he is in a hurry. Why, it's
almost as bad as being a womanl

DOROTHY DIX TALKS Sensitiveness

how idiotic and vain, and selfish they are.
If a woman knew how outsiders regard sem
sitiveness, she would soon admit being fifty
five years old, and that her teeth, and her
hair, and her complexion were only hers by
right Of purchase.
For, stripped of all camouflage, sensitive
ness is nothing but ingrowing vanity and
self-centeredness.
The girl who cannot go out into the world
and work, as other girls do, makes her
for it is observable that her shrinking from
mingling with other people doesn't keep her
from going to the places she wants to go to
or doing the things she wants to do. She
doesn't dread meeting men in society. It's
only in business that she is stricken with
fear Of them, yet men are no more danger
GUS or unpleasant in their office than they
are in parlors.
The woman who Is SO sensitive she is al
ways getting her delicate sensibilities wound
ed is the one who possesses what alfenists
call ian exaggerated ego." She Is always
imagining Sights, because she considers that
great Difference should be paid her. She
sees herself as the most important figure in
the universe, with everybody HOMECOMING and
knocking their forehIads~ on the ground be-
fore her, and when they fail to do this she
considers that she has been grievously in
suited, an9 she won't play any more. She
takes her doll rags and goes home.
The sensitive woman can never be told of
any OF her faults because her abnormal vanity
makes her believe herself perfect, and that
everything she does Is beyond criticism. If
she is business woman she dissolves in
tears every time her employer ventures to
tell her Of a mistake she has made. If she
is domestic woman she makes such scene
when her husband Ills her that the coffee
is slop, and bread first aid to the I'M
dertaker, that he never ventures to try it a
second time. And she never gets anywhere
because she is never willing to learn how
to do better work.
The vanity Of the sensitive is so all per-
vasive that it enables them to see the things
that are not there. Their minds are so I'M
alterably fixed on themselves that they firm
ly believe that all their little world carries
on its affairs with sole reference to them.
You have to edit your conversation in their
presence because they see hidden inuendos
in flippant rem rks, and take your jokes as
personal criticism. If you do not single
them out in a crowd they are sure you cut
them on purpose If You fail to invite them
to every party you give you have to apollo
gize on your stomach for sighting them.
Vanity and seffishness these are the ugly
core of sensitfveness. Instead of coddling 1t,
and culttvating 1t, we do well to fight it as
the most insidious vice to which we can be-
come addicted, and we are wise when we
avoid the sensitive man or woman as we
wouldI avoid a leper.

Georgia : 5 Cream,
: HE thirty farmers who recently went
on tour Of Turner and Colquitt

rT9 HE thirty farmers VINO recently went
on tour Of Turner and Colquitt
counties to study at first hand the
possibilities Of the creamery industry in
Georgia learned certain facts in which the
entire Commonwealth should be keenly in
terested. They learned at the outset that for
every ounce Of cream produced there is
ready and profitable market, which appears
but natural when one notes that Georgia is
making only tenth Of the butter she con-
su1nes, the rest being imported from afar.
They learned, too, that not one of the many
farmers who have undertaken the industry
is inclined to give it up; on the contrary,
all are improving their facilities and plan
ming to increase their shipments. Experience,
which SO often disillusions and disappoints,
in the case of Georgia dairying serves to
strengthen first faith and to call forth new
endeavor.
To towns and cities as we'll as to country
'des this is a matter, of much import; for
if the production of cream, along with it's
kindred industries, is carried to due proper
lions in Georgia the state will be richer by
many millions of dollars, and every province
of business, from largest to least, will be adj
vantaged This is true for the reason that
in developing creameries steady, year
around source of wealth is assured, and a
broadly diversified field of agricultural in
terests upbuilt The tour of inquiry in Tur-
ner and Colquitt disclosed, according to The
of hogs, calves, chickens and the production
of cream are each essential to the other, and
that unless all are carried along together it
Is best not to make the creamery venture"
Moreover, there must be diversification of
crops to sustain these several lines of activi-
ty. Thus is secured that well-balanced, we'll
rounded farm economy on which the states
prospecting chiefly depends.
The cream producing, as our correspondent
points out, is not a "get-rich-quick" affair;
not a safe field for the shiftess. But it
abounds with substantial opportunities in
Georgia, whose pasturage and climate are
peculiarly well suited to dairying, and bids
fair to become one of the States richest
springs of sustainment and profit. 1t can
not be over-emphasized, however, that the
setting up of more creameries than the sup
ply of the surrounding country warrants,
will retard and weaken the industry. Nor
should the rank and file of consumers ever
forget that in buying Georgia butter they
are promoting Georgia prosperity.

|. pie and the avowed determination of
the Allies to maintain the neutral
status of that city are but the latest de-
yelopments of an age-old and ever troublous
problem. Whatever it was that sent the

Elements of Troy Town, whether the beauty
of Helen or, less romantic moderns have
held. desire of profitable trade route to
the Black Sea, it is certain that the region
thereabout was gripped and shaken by war
long before history found record. A bar
tering place and a fighting place for divers
tribes and nations, the country around the
waters where Europe and Asia meet has
never lost its provocative nature.
|. Constantine saw its significance in world
affairs when he built there, on the site Of an
Gent BJzantium, the city that bears his
name. Napoleon believed that whose domi-
mated the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles
would inherit the earth. Considering the
moment not propitiOus to seize them for him
self and France, he countenanced the deca-
dent rule Of the Turk-a policy which was
followed by all the great Powers through the
ensuing years and which led pell-mell to the
very complications and wars it was maintain
ed to prevent. At the close of the World
War it was devoutly hoped that wiser coun-
sells would prevail; that the Turk would be-
sent packing from Europe, stripped Of pow
er to kindle international strife and to mas
sacre helpless populations; that the straits
would be internationalized and Constantine
pie be made power for world peace instead
~ cooter of intrigue.
PM that hone met sore disappointment.
The straits, It is true, were internationalized,
after fashion, and the. city was finally
put under the protection of Allied forces.
But it remained the seat Of the Turkish Gov
eminent, and without a defined future status.
European craftsmanship was unequal to the
task of working out constructive solution
of the ancient and still menacing problem.
The Turks resumed their atrocities, and set
up the defiant Kemalist government in Asia
Minor. The Greeks, ambitious to Hellenic
both sides Of the straits, launched against
their traditional Moslem foes war which
might have had better fortune had Venizelos
been kept at the helm instead Of being ousted
for the old reactionaries at Athens. So it
is that Greek talk of occupying CONSTANT
nople will probably come to naught in the
face Of Allied objections. But what will the
Allies themselves do to untangle the present
and safeguard the future?

ness as an abnormality and {, deformity of
character, which they should do their best to
conceal, regard it is an ornament to their

Of it and display it on all occasions.
Women, in particular, take this attitude
towards sensitiveness. They seem to think
that their shrinking from doing their bit in
the every dGy battle of life, and their giving
away to their emotions, shows that they are
of finer clay than the balance Of us. Their
attitude is that they have been set apart to

SOURCES OF POWER
By H. Arlington Bruce

TT Is high time, it seems to me, that citi-
zens generally-and especially those in
political office-should give more
thought than many of them are giving to the
problem Of the maintenance Of national
vigor and prosperity.
Far too prevalent is the assumption that a
nation which has risen to commanding po-
sition may be depended upon to retain that
position automatically. To assume this is
deliberately to ignore all the lessons of his
tory.
These prove beyond the slightest doubt
that it is with nations as with individuals.
Once effort is relaxed, once the attention is
directed more toward enjoyment of the
fruits of striving than to continuance of
striving, weakness develops, a weakness that
may with astonishing rapidity be succeeded
by decay.
Again and again nations, and even asso-
ciated groups of nations, that have gained

lily of nations have had sad experience of
the truth OF this. Through centuries Of en-
deavor they have won. (" proud pre-eminence,
only to degenerate to mere shadows Of their
former splendid selves.
And in each instance the beginning of de-
generation has been coincident with turn
ing Of the national thought from doing to
enjoying. So constant has been this phe-
nomenon that some students of human af-
fairs are persuaded that it is al inevitabiIity
that In the course OF every 5naC1OnS llIO
there is bound to come time when, prestige
having been won and wealth accumulated,
laxity and luxuriousness develop with all
their evil consequences.
But to affirm this is to deny to all peoples
the power of spiritual self-determination. If
nations rise, decline, and fall-as nations
undeniably have done through the ages-it
is not from dire fatality. 1t is because
they have refused to profit from observation
Of the tragedies of their predecessors.
At any time it is possible to nations, as
to individuals, to set their souls sternly
against that which would enervate and de-
stroy Failing to do this, then in truth their
fall becomes inevitable To increase its bit
terness they may see erected on the ashes OF
their empire a new civilization wrought by
races whom, in their pride of place, they
have been wont to account inferior to them
selves.
At this very moment much talk is heard
Of the peril presented to our own civilization
by the aspirations of so-called inferior peo-
pies. "Arm against them, unite against
them is the cry.
1t is not thus that continuing power can
be insured What will battalions avail if lux
