The acute angle in the human triangle used
to be the "other woman" At least this was
the case as far as wives were concerned. Now
women are beginning to name their husbands
fads as the correspondent in their divorce cases.
A woman in Detroit has actually been
granted a divorce because her husband neg
lected her for his golf, and, encouraged by
this, Chicago woman is asking that her
matrimonial bond be severed because her hus
band has Succumbed to the fatal lure of stamp
collecting.
All of which inclines one to say that there is
nothing OF which green-eyed woman cannot
be jealous, or else that any port will do in
storm when one has gotten weary of ones
partner on the matrimonial voyage
Ordinary wives who are getting less fair,
and more fat and forty, day by day, and who
still cherish romantic emotions about their hus-
bands, will accord scant sympathy to the
ladies whose only rivals were a golf ball, and
bit of gummy pink or blue paper. They
know what it is to have to keep an eye on a
man when real, live vampS are a-vamping, and
flapperS are a-flapping, and mere wife has
to be up and doing if she expects to hold
down her job.
Of course, no woman likes to find herself
superseded in her husbands heart by any OBJ
ject animate or inanimate. 1t is natural that
it should hurt her vanity to perceive that she
does not raise the thrill in his breast that a
new niblick does, or that is inspired by a
crude stamp issued by some forgotten govern
ment of an insignificant country. Nor can one
blame her for feeling hurt when she realizes
that the happiest hours of the man to whom
she is married are not spent in her society,
but in pursuit of his hobby.
There is, however, a choice of evils, and
truly the woman whose husband is faddSt is
not the most to be pitied of her sex, for bet
ter is championship husband than a flirta-
tiouS one, and it is even better for man
to waste his money on collections than it is
to spend it on other women.
Of course, whether golf shall rank with in
fidelity and cruel and inhuman treatment as
a recognized cause for divorce, is a subject
concerning which much is to be said on either
side. There are golf widows, left lamenting
alone at home, with no husband to help them
with the children, or bear them company, or
take them out to places of amusement; there
are other golf widows stranded on clubhouse
verandas where they yawn, and DULY chat
with other similarly bereft wives, who hold
that woman should be able to present her
husbands handicap to the judge of divorce

OVERPRODUCTION
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Nobody in civilization lives without work
Even the idlers who do not work for them
selves live on money, and money represents
the work of somebody else, SO directly or in
directly there is no life without work.
There can be unbalanced overrroduction
that is to say, producing more in one in
dustry than is needed and not enough in
another. But, taken as a whole, the human
race cannot produce more than it uses
There are millions of square miles of TIL
liable land unoccupied. There are millions
or human creatures living on low plane of
sustenance. IT you could get the people on to
the land and ii you could raise the savage
and ignorant people to higher grade of
wants every human being in the world could
work at full time and not produce any too
men. Or to speak more concretely if the
rest OF the world were living on the plane of
the United States, the world would drink nine
times as much coffee as it does now, take five
times as much sugar, eat eight times as
much wheat and corn and use twice as much
tobacco, to say nothing of cotton, automo-
plies, building materials, and SO on.
Alan H. Temple in Commerce and Finance
points out these facts and adds:
The imagination can scarcely picture
what hlve OF agriculture and industry that
the world would be-and this is predcated
L1nd you, on the same population that it
contains at present. China with its inex-
haustible coal supplies, would probably be
one of the worlds greatest m nufacturing
countries. The wilds of Brazil and the vast
ed plateaus of Central Africa would vie with
the southern states in cotton production.
The semi-arid districts of central Asia and
Australia might supply the worlds wool and
TT great plains of Canada and the western
United States would be brought up to a per
acre cereal production which is at present at
tanned only by the intensive cultivation of
small farms. The rubber plantations would
TrI;
and South America, and the huge iron re-
sources of Brazil would be as important in
commerce as the ore of England, SPAIN and
Sweden. A net of railroads would enmesh
the world, and the fleets that piled the ocean
a magnitude that we can grasp at present
only in our dreams.

WET Paint"

~ SYCHO-ANALYSTS, says the New York
Tribune, have been concerning them
selves lately With the problem of the
acreage. human being confronted by the
sign "Wet Paint"
The a. IL. b. seems to have difficulty in
resisting an impulse to touch the paint.
Why?
With the returns not yet all in, it appears
that there are three well-defined schools of
thought On the sur ject.
The most populou. may be called the
Observation-Disclosures, who are of the opinion
that the impulse is he same as that impel-
ling some people to Shoot" Niagara Falls in
barrel and others to Change planes in
mid-air al great peei.
Certainly the touching of paint to see if
1t is wet is modest form of adventure; still,
it is an adventure, especially if the paint
turns out to be wet.
Then We have the psycho-rebellious group,
believing that human beings are motivated Ia
neat and intriguing word) primarily by an
instinct to do the forbidden To them the
West Paint sign means Don't Touch, -
so they dc.
Last and smallest is the psycho-truthful
group. It's members hold to the theory that
men, ever oppressed with the difficulties at
tendant on a search for absolute truth in
this world, are Inspired with the desire to
prove that the painter is a liar. To do so,
they point out, satisfies the superiority
complex Of the TOUGHER.
And SO he smudges his finger.
Well, all know people who, when walking
abroad and told it Is raining, at once stretch
out hand to test the truth of the statement
though their eyes may confirm it beforehand
Average human beings are most odd.

Reality Against Me1odrama
latest outbreak in ireland, which

TTHE latest outbreak in Ireland, which
now, happily, appears under control
OF the provisional Free State govern
ment, is not a revolt against British DONNA
ton, but against the expressed will of the
majority of the Irish people. 1t is the des-
perate attempt of an out-voted group of ex-
tremists to wreck the cause they cannot
rule.
The compact under which Ireland secures
the substantial rights of a self-governing
commonwealth is triumph of liberal states
manship, reward of sterling patriotism. 1t
is acceptable to thoughtful leaders, and ALSO
as the recent elections bear witness, to the
thoughtful rank and file. Liberty and peace
are in it's covenants, prosperity and good will
in its adoption But because it does not al
together satisfy the variously motived ee-
ments of radical minority, including COM
munistsand I. w. WIS, they are against it
and are resolved to destroy, if they can the
government of which it is the foundation.
81 will go down among the ruins or amid
the flames cried Rory O'Connor from his
barricade in a stree of Dublin. While it
now appears that he thought better of the
matter and gave up, his words are true to the
mental and emotional type of his faction,
who insist upon taking life as a melodrama
in which they shall hold the center of the
stage, rather than as it is--a rigorous reality
which demands tn clearest thinking and the
least selfish labor our yet cropping humanity
can achieve. Ruins and flames, thrilling
though they are to Rory O'Connor and
canon De Valera, just what Ireland does
not need.
In different mood J6e the defense min
lister of the provisional Government, in a
proclamation to the troops of the national
army: eve put our hand to this fight in de-
tense of the peoples will, and with your aid
we will see it to a successful issue" There
rung the true patriotism and the true hope
of Ireland. May finL steadfast support
and speedy vindicAtion.

Rain Insurance

Y JUDGING by reports, those companies
insuring ball games and track meets
~ and such matters against rain will
be closing up shop soon. But perhaps that
is because we hear only about the games
which are rained on, for which the insurance
is collected. That certainly must be it, be-
cause the companies do get hit between wind
and water, you might say.
Last December at San Diego a football
game as insured against rain, the policy
specifying that rain" would consist of pre-
cipitation in excess OF one-tenth of an inch
between certain hours the day of the game
1t rained nearly all day, and the game
was played-as football games are generally
played. But the insurance was to cover the
dife-e between the gate" and $4,000,
and the gate" amol 1ted to only So, 900.
Racing meets also are insured frequently,
and now the plan is made to protect crops
against weather cor 1itions, either too wet
or too dry.
Farm bureaus in New York state are & dvo-
eating a plan whereby the armel may in
sure himself on ! crop amounting to not
less than eight per mt Of his norm"l aver
age yield of similar paintings in the last
three years.
This opens new avenues of farm bust
ness. Protected by crop insurance, the farm
er will be able to obtain loans to extend
his industry, an. would doubtless evince a
tendency to improve the quality of his seed
and the care given to his crops.

"Pease, mister said tiny voice, "can

Georgia, an Industrial Center

center of industrial opportunity and
N development the South becomes con-
tinually more inviting. The president
OF large system of New England textile
mills, one of whose important plants is to
be transferred from Rhode Island to North
Carolina, said to group of his Northern
associates, by way of explanation: "Our
principal competition comes from the Pied
mont district. There the climate is good
and bracing. The operatives are pure-bred
American stock from the mountains Like
our original New Englanders, they have
had to work to make living and appreciate
opportunity. They are of high native in
telligence and quick to learn. Mills have
sprung up there on every hand That
New England has the skill and the capital,
he was we'll aware; but he promptly added,
Capital will always go where it can get
the largest return, and it can move easily"
Skilled management, likewise, will eventual
ly go where there is the largest opportunity,
and it has been going faster than is general
ly realized
These views of Mr.. Robert Armory, presi-
dent of the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers, are reported in the Manu-
facturers' Record. Altogether free from that
regional bias which one to the manner born
can hardly escape, they are typical Of an
ever-growing body of unprecedented and COM
petent opinion. Southern resources, both
industrial and agricultural, are being dis
covered by opportunity seekers the country
over. The advantages noted by Mr.. Arm
DRY will be highly enhanced as the develop
ment of Dixies water power goes forward.
1t seems but natural that in time the
worlds center Of cotton growing should be-
come the American center Of it's manufac-
ture.
In this, as in divers other industrial
realms Georgias future is richly promising.
The basic resources are here in abundance
and variety. The capital will come. But
it behooves the State to foster and promote
by every manner of means the educational
facilities without which she cannot pro-
duce the skill which industrial progress re-
uuires and win the rewards which 1t vouch-
safes.
