MI Ms; Bonuna

IN ''De mortuis nil nisi bonum" there
lis no less of convenience than of charity,
good sense as well as human kindness
bidding us cover multitude OF sins.
Moliere's incorporating hero who set out
! to tell the truth, the whole. truth and moth
ing but the truth to every living man and
woman that he might chance to meet, soon
proved show dismally distressful a thing
stark honesty can become. How much more
hazardous and upsetting such an adventure
would be if turned toward even the least be-
loved Of those who have gone to that tribu-
nal, where
There is no shuffling, there the action
lies T.
In his true nature: and we ourselves
compelld,
Even to the teeth and forehead of our
faults,
To give in evidenced
Nevertheless, when some curiously auda-
cious watcher of the human comedy dares
speak out, we all listen with a satisfaction
that survives the shock. Limited for the
most part to stage and storyland for free
voicings of poetic justice, we can but be
thrilled when spokesman in real life calls
dead Iago or ensepulchred Regain patty by
name. Consider, for a refreshing example,
this rare obituary from the Bethnal Green
News:
"The deceased, indeed, was most strange
man. Although bringing the children into
the world, he had a strong antipathy to
them being in his house, while their mother
naturally championed their remaining which
caused unhappiness. In his business life he
was an arrogant, autocratic and quarrelsome
man. and dictator of the worst order. He
at any time of his life had but few friends,
and those he soon lost. His mannerisms
were distasteful to the last degree, and his
expressions on the sanctity of marriage will
be treated with ridcule, for it is known for
some years past he showed his affection to
many. He was, in plain words, a hypocrite.
-. 1t is recognized saying, Speak not
i'll of the dead;' but what can be said of a
man who dies and leaves his fortune to
others; and to loving and faithful wife not
penny to provide for large family?"
Here is a scribe who believes with a vim
that honesty is the best policy, albeit he
may live to learn that the better part oil
valor is discretion. BethnaI Green will never
forget nor cease furtively to treasure thai
particular edition of It's "News," which may
boast the distinction of at least some of the
traits of Georgia's own DahIonega Nugget.

O. What is a government called that is
run by women? H. G.
A. The technical term applied to govern
ment by women is gynarchy.
@. Please give a description of the Giants
Causeway in Ireland? A. w. C.
A. According to legend, the Giants Cause
way was the beginning of a road to be con-
struoted by giants from Ireland to Scotland.
It projects from the north coast OF Antrim,
ireland, into the North channel, seven miles
1t consists of 1000 vertical, closely fitting
columns of basalt rock, varying from Is ,
Is inches, and is formed into three sections,
known as Little, Middle and Honeycomb
Gauseway. The Wishing Chair" with two
arms and a back, and the "Ladys Fam" are
on the Middle Causeway. At the starting
point is the "Giant's LOOM to the left the
Giants WE'LL" to the right, the "Giant's
Chair" An electric tramway now connects
the town of Potrush with the "CauseWay."
c. Why is the title Dame" applied to
Mrs Lloyd George and Madame Melba?
S. l.. V.
A. The title Dame" as used by Mrs. Lloyd
George is conferred upon members of the
Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
This was an order instituted during the war
on the 4th of June, 1917, membership in
which is looked upon as an honor or reward
of merit.
@. What caused the Virginia Natural
Bridge? A. B. D.
A. The present structure was left by the
collapse of the remainder of the roof of a
tunnel formed, according to Cleland, "by
water percolating through joint or fissure
athwart the stream, thence along a bedding
plane and emptying under fall or rapid Of
the stream. The channel thus formed was
gradually enlarged until all the water of the
stream was diverted from the stream bed
below the point of ingress, leaving bridge. !"
The bridge thus formed has span of 80
feet, and is from so to 100 feet wide. The
thickness of it's crown is about 40 feet and
it's arch is 215 feet above the stream. A
public road passes over it.
@. Why will grapes fall off young vine
before they are ripe? G. o.
A The department of agriculture says
that the cause of grapes falling from the
vines before they are ripe is due to eli
matte conditions during Towering. Extreme
cold is the usual cause of this condition.
However, in some cases it is an indication
of disease and If this is so the vines shoulQ
be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture.

HEALTH INVENTORIES
BV II. AddingtOn Bruce

F any one still doubts the value Of period.
I ical health examinatfons-the periodical
- taking, so to speak, of a health inventory
i commend to the doubter the following
little story from the annals of the United
States public health service.
It has to do with the astonishing findings
of such an inventory in the case of a group
of nearly thousand seemingly strong and
vigorous men.
They were postof1ce employees on active
service. None, at the time of the examina-
ton, was listed as ailing. All, it is probable
did not feel equally fit. But all felt fit
enough to attend to their duties day after
day.
Yet:
When the doctors subjected them to a
really close medical scrutiny only five were
found to be completely free from physical
defects, and only twelve from defects other
than of a minor and virtually negligible sort.
No fewer than 258 showed defects requir-
ing hygienic, correction or minor medical,
surgical, or dental attention; 1856 had defects
calling for medical supervision as well as
hygienic correction; PA were suffering from
advanced, if unsupported, physical impair
ment requiring systematic treatment; and as
many as 40 had defects so serious that i'm
mediate surgical or medical attention was in
order.
Now, there is no reason to suppose that
these postoffce employees constitute a body
of men engaged in work making unusually
heavy demands on their vitality. 1t would
be easy to name a long list of occupations of
more hazardous and stressful kind.
And the fact is that similar examinations,
applied to most varied groups of workers,
have given virtually similar results. They
have demonstrated, that is to say, that a
feeling of health is by no means tantamount
to actual health; and that, especially after
middle age has been reached there is always
danger that insidious disease processes
may be present in a stage detachable by eX-
pert examination only.
| Or, to state the situation in the words of
DR.. E. l.. Fisk, a pioneer in advocating
periodical health inventories as an aid in the
preventing of disease and the prolonging OF
| life:
| Studies of this sort make clear the need
for thorough and critical analysis of the
human body before physical breakdown or
actual disease occurs.
| "They emphasize the Importance Of the
| early detection of physical defects, of infec-
ton, poisons, and the various factors which
in the course of years are responsible for the
tissue changes which have enormously been
ascribed to time"
1t is indeed significant that while the e.
pectation of life is, at birth, twenty years
more than it was century ago, there has
been no frightening of the expectation after
| the age of fifty.

Our Changing Climate

wu HEN grandad says the weather ism t
M what it was when he was a boy, he
w may we'll be nearer the fact than
some, scientific young jackanapes are wont
to believe. Personal impressions are, OF
course, VIGOROUSLY unreliable, and memory
will play strange pranks when winter comes
But as myths are colorful shadows OF what
once was real, SO the reminiscence Of the
Oldest 1nhabitsrt reflects much. history.
Climate does change; so ~higk 81 authority
az DR.. Charles f. Marvin, chief c. the
United States weather bureau, now says so.
He has studied records Of New England
rainfall as far back as two hundred years.
These show, according to summary of his
findings, that from about 1850 onward
there was more or less continuous and
progressive diminution Of rainfall for nearly
last century it averaged several inches a
year less than it did three generations be-
fore" Then came gradual swing the other
way, and for more than fifty years there
was. a progressive gain in the regions rain
fall, eliminating in 1905, since which date
there has been an irregular decrease" The
case is Interestingly paralleled at Padua,
Italy, where records run back to J1720,
though in that instance the variation has
reversed the New England order. "The evil
dence submitted" writes Dr. Marvin, "tends
to justify the deep-seated conviction in the
minds of great many observers of mature
years that weather conditions at the present
time differ materially from corresponding
conditions easily within their memory"
These fluctuations, however, do not show,
of themselves, that radical and. permanent
changes are in progress. Rather, as the
are marked abnormalities, over restricted
areas, which trend steadily in one direction
away from that constant thing which we
may call the absolute normal climate
trends that may be from fifty to one hun
dred years in duration.
Whether or not they foreshadow some
ago when, for instance, the Nrst glacial
period approached, DR.. Marvin does not
speculate. The amateur imagination, how
ever, mindful of a time when tropical
forests flourished and beasts like the hippo
potamus floundered where now stand France
and England, will have no difficulty in
constituting our climatic changes into pro-
logues of a mighty "omen coming on
With the earth's orbit and axis of rotation
still varying and with the blessed sun him
self cutting we know not what wondrous
years may bring forth? One thing we do
know-Atlanta's climate will never be i'm

Surrey hills, the Hindhead and DEVILS

and, George Meredith asserted Il know not on
what authority that the view from the Hind

pricked up her ears and, bending forward
