NOT A DREAM-Arthur Brisbane can find more
mares nests than any living man. His latest is that
Marshal Foch of France is playing Catholic
South Germany against Protestan North &c u
any, and that he has purpose to set up Bavari-
an kingdom to be allied with France against the
northern part of Germany. II Marshal Foch has
any such notions it is strange that he has in
trusted them exclusively to Arthir Brisbane, and
didn't let any of the others of great American Jour
nalists in on his secret-MiddIetown Herald.

years before.

TEACHING OF STATE AND U. S. CONSTI-
TUTIONS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS-!ud

Price Gilbert, OF the Georgia Supreme Court,
has ade suggestion that the teaching OF the
United States Constitution and the Constitution
OF Georgia be made mandatory in all the public
schools and colleges OF the State.
He has prepared bill with respect to this sub
pect which he will endeavor to get the Legisla-
ture to enact into law.
The substance o the proposed law, according to
news reports, is to require teaching of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States and OF the State, in
Guiding the study and devotion of American insti
tutions and ideals" in all public schools and col
leges which draw their support from the State
funds, or which are aided in any way with State
funds, the law to become effective September the
lst, 1928
The suggestion of Judge Gilbert strikes me as
a good one
Students in the high grades of the public schools
and in the State colleges should have as a part
of their course Of study the organic laws of the
Nation and State
1t would not only c helpful ing living them a
broader vision and more comprehensive knowl-
edge of the theory of our National and State Gov
and nober citizenship
No one study the Constitution of the Unit
cd States without being deeply impressed with the
wise and mastery work OF the Patriots and States
men who brought it into existence.
The same can be said of the Georgia Constitu-
ton
Our Constitutions are our fundamental laws.
They are the Legal Protectors of our Lives
cur Liberty and our Property Rights
They are the Guarantors of of Religious Free
dom-of complete Separation of Church and State
OF Freedom OF Speech, of Press and of Peaceable
Assembly
They are the Palladiums of Right of Justice
and of Equality and Opportunity
They are the Foes of Oppression and Auto
cracy, though Autocratic Officials have at times
perverted their meaning and used them in
strument of oppression by denying citizens Their
rights.
A more strict adherence to the Federal Consti
tuition would have saved the United States much
of the trouble in which it has been involved dur
ing its National existence of more than century
and quuarter.
Likewise more strict adherence to our State
Constitution would have saved Georgia much =
the trouble she has experienced
Georgia would not now be aboring under he1
present financial difficulties had the Constitution
been more rigidy observed by her lawmakers.
The people should become better acquainted
with their Constitutions
Young people, especially, into whose hands the
future destinies of the State and Nation will be
committed should be given opportunity fol
thrro study of our Supreme Laws.

District Club Meetings

During the next few weeks all the
district organizations of Woman's
Clubs will be holding their annual SEES
sons. Just why these meetings are he'd
SC long after and before the state
federation meets is a question that the
second District is going to discuss
with probable change of dates in that
district hereaftGr from Spring to Fall,
preferably just after the State meeting
so that the plans suggested there could
be promptly set in motion through the
district instead of being placed "for
six months in cold storage" as now,
and similarly with the local clubs get
two ideas from the conferences in the
district meetings which come at the
tail end of the year Another point
that favors the change is that all
school meets and church conventions
and institutes come in the Spring and
it would be a relief to have one meet
irg deferred until Fall.

Negro Health Week

The successful observance of this
CT any health campaign for the color
ed people means nearly as much to our
own. Being household servants, cooks
nurses and laundresses, they come in
physical touch with all that can carry
disease into the home where they are
employed. With two-thirds of the
deaths from tuberculosis in Georgia
being among negroes, and also the
larger mortality from typhoid and ma
laria and the tremendous infant fatality
it is urgent that white people make san
itation and education in health for ne
groes imperative as being equally i'm
portant with the rules prescribed for
themselves. Formerly the colored
people observed the health week as a
memorial to Booker Washington who
iIaugurated it but each year the cam
paign becomes more thorough and
general as the practical and the edu-
cational value becomes more fully rec
ognized.

and one of experimental accomplish

the sculptors will work from models

Supply of Gasoline and OIL
Keep Close Watch.

There Is always a day of reckoning
for those who neglect details in the
care of their car, and that day is like
ly to come when you least expect or
desire ii. What you think you have
saved by neglect will be spent in ex-
pensive roadside repairs. Attending
to details is thrice cheaper, and, what
is more, relieves future worries.
And one detail of your car which
you should watch carefully is your
radiator. Trouble is sure to come I'M
less 1t is kept full at all times. Form
the habit Of inspecting and reflling
the radiator before the car is taken
from the garage. When on long tours,
especially If you have been doing con-
siderable hill climbing, keep a weather
eye peeled toward the water supply.
Remember that the proper amount
of water Is as important as your sup
ply Of gasoline and oil. 1t is not q
bad plan to examine the water supply
every time you stop for gasoline or
oil. Use clear water, and If rain wa
ter is o%btalnable employ it, as less
scale and deposit will result.
The cellular openings always should
be kept clean. Keep mud from re-
naming In them, as it cuts down radi-
alton and prevents proper cooling. You
should occasionally flush the entire
circulating system. This may be done
by dl~sconnectlng both the upper and
lower hose connections and allowing
fresh water to enter the filler neck
and flow down through the radiator
and out the lower hose. The motor

The other SOW narrowed eight pigs and

IF the value of good breeding:
"The pigs from the second litter fed
out better and were heavier, were all

at least So each more than the pig,
from the first litter from the grade

and eve small pigs, all sired by the
purebred Duroc, to a farmer at st

times as much as he paid originally
for double the number If hogs. In

SELF-FEEDER IS IMPORTANT

Agent Led Others to Follow

fore the year was over, 70-odd farm.
ers in the county were using them
and making a gain of IS to so more
profit per pig. This is the experience
Of many sections.
Where the self-feeder is not a sue
cess, the trouble generally comes from
not using suitable foods. The
fault is therefore not with the feeder,
but with the men. The ideal practice
to follow when using ~self-feeders is
to place the hogs IN such pasturage
as clover. oats and peas, oats and
rape, and rape alone. This pasturage
should be where the pigs can have
access to fresh water, such as a
brook, spring or the overflow from
the water system in the barn. With
these two furnished, pasturage and
water. the self-feeder will be a great
l~abor-saver and highly profitable.
