The Greatest Road Builder

-HE automobile scores again as a high
way builder. 1t has paid into the ma
tional treasury, since 1917, taxes
amounting to five hundred and eighty mil
lion dollars, while the government has ex-
pended less than half this sum in aid for
roads. Owners of motor vehicles thus have
supplied all the federal sinews for highway
construction, and some three hundred and
twenty-four millions besides. Add their con-
tributons in the form of state license and
gasoline taxes, most of which goes for road
improvement, and 1t is evident that they are
the great literal fulfllers Of the prophecy,
1.-THE crooked shall be made straight, and
the rough places plain"
For 1922 alone federal revenue from taxes
on automobiles came to one hundred and
forty-six million dollars and the total to the
states vas certainly many times as much

that year reached ten million five hundred

THE DEER HUNTER
BY JOHN PRECK

BY JOHN PRECK
tn HE deer hunter looked all right and
regular; he wasn't tricked out with all
~ the junk a sporting goods clerk could
hang on. him; his clothes, like his cartridge
belt, his $780, and his pipe, were all old
familiar friends, comfortable company in the
autumn woods. His very shoes were elo-
quent of trails and trout streams But his
behavior was highly irregular
He knew deer. He hadn't any dog to an
nounce he was on the warpath; in brush
that can swallow up q man fifteen feet away
trailing mostly degenerates into a dog hunt.
AS for driving game into the open-why try
when they'll come of themselves to the only
open there is-a little grassy pocket down
in a gulch, beside a spring? He needed no
hound to nose that out And no mountain
lion could have watched 1t more craftily.
He had comfortably disposed his bulk
among an outcrop of boulders on the slope
above. A wild hunter would have shifted
with the wind; this one couldn't stink
through the thickets stealthily as the eve-
ming breeze, but he had the foresight to al
low for it. So long as the trees were tipped
with bronze he watched the smoke from his
pipe waver indecisively and drift toward
the sunset, but as soon they slvered from
the moon it blew behind him. Then he put
it out and waited.
A covey of quail drank in the thin dusk
and dissolved into the shadows with little
breathess cheepings as they bedded down.
Two doves showed up against the sky, tip
toeing along the upper branch of pine
an easy shot, but he was after something
bigger. And suddenly, unaccountaby, it was
there, grand doe calmly drinking her fill
Then another resolved out of the blackness,
and a fawn.
The man tensed to attention. A moist
black nose glinted like dewy leaf pale
throat fashed it was a buck, his anters
laid back on his shoulders to work that
miracle by which he can slip them through
the bushes without so much as waking a
bird. In this parlous season when his horns
are loosening and there's a price upon his
head he makes his harem reconno otter for
him. They were grazing placidly But he
questioned the wind, listened, took hasty
swallow, and listened again.
The watcher on the hillside let him drink.
Then he stood up. "Shoo!' said he The
buck sprang to attention, broadside on, peer
ing back over his shoulder. The rifle smoked.
That Was enough for him; he vanished But
the does still grazed. Ping! Meat-hog that
fellow was! Seeing he'd let slip his proper
game he meant to take the doe, did he?
Well, he missed her that time-gouged
gravel right under her nose. Ping! The
other doe buck-jumped as spatter tlckled
her belly.
But that wasn't miss! It was perfect
craftsmanship. "G'wan." he growled. Dang
fools like you make me tired. Think the
law protects you. do you? Well, it don't.
There's twenty of you round here, if there's
a one. feedin the buzzards Some varmints'll
plug away at you just for fun if they think
no ones lOokin'. You take warnfn' now.
Quit playin' cow"
He blew out his rife barrel and COM
menced Whistling.

Fayette County's Program

rAYETTE county has adopted, through
its recently formed chamber of com
merce, farm program of high enter
prise and abundant promise. For one
horse farm unit 1t proposes: five acres in
cotton, three acres in white Spanish peanuts
one-haIf acre in sweet potatoes. five acres
in oats, followed by peas and soy beans:
eight acres in corn, with either peas or soy
beans; one-half acre, or more, in cane for
syrup; a year-around vegetable garden; ten
acres in permanent pasturage; one good
brood sow, preferably a pure-bred; at least
one good milch COW, to be added to as pas
turage permits; at least fifty pure-bred
hens; good home orchard, well cared for:
terracing the land and increasing It's fer
tility; building up membership in the boys
and girls agricultural clubs.
Pursuance Of this plan, which has been
laid out by practical farmers with the coun-
sci of experts, will lead to a prosperity more
extensive, more stable, more evenly distrib-
uted, and more certain to increase from year
to year than the county has known in even
its palmiest past. The emphasis placed upon
food crops and animal husbandry is in keep
ing, not only with the best teaching of agri-
cultural science, but also with the most
profitable practice of Georgia farmers. Those
who have provided we'll for bin and larder,
whether their acreage of cotton was large or
small are secure against the winter and, In
many instances, are bountifully well off,
Moreover, they building surely for the
future, in soil values, In crop values, in
system values, and In thought values.
Fayette county purposes to. expand its new
length it will have five thousand good dairy
cows, five thousand good brood sows, four
one hundred thousand egg-capacity incuba-
tors, conveniently located; on every farm two
acres of alfalfa and a seedpatch of suitable
clover; one-fourth of all cultivated land in
small grain followed by peas or soy beans;
county; and consolidated schools, thorough
ana modern IN methodS, within easy reach of
every home. Toward this splendid goal Fay
cites agricultural and business leaders alike
are pledged to strive with systematic effort
and with hearty cooperation. They are
warmly to be congratulated upon the launch,
ing OF SO goodly an enterprise. 1t means
much to their every interest; and TO Geor-
gia it means a vast deal that such undertake
ings are steadily on the increase throughout
her borders.

METAPSYCHICS
BY H. Addington Bruce

A SIZED to explain what is meant by
N metapsychics pronounced mettasy-
kicks), term now coming more and
more into use, I would say that it is vir-
tually an equivalent for what Is more gen
orally known as psychicaI research.
Metapsychics, in other words. is science
having as its subject matter all varieties of
occult phenomena, from hauntings and pre-
monitions to mediumistc movements of OBJ
jects without contact or seemingly without
contact.
1t endeaYors not only to classify these but
to get at the laws underlying them, and thus
to obtain better understanding of the ma
ture and powers of human personality. AS
suggested by its derivation, the province of
metapsychics begins where that of psychoI-
ogy ceases.
And metapsychics insists that many bizarre
happenings, such as those just mentioned,
have a greater significance than normal psy-
chology is wont to attribute to them. 1t sees
in them evidence of the action of unknown
forces, and it would if ossible bring these
| forces more and more under control for
mans good.
Moreover, to quote an explanatory note by
Professor Charles Richet, to whom we owe
the coming of the term metapsychics
+ Leaving aside the sharply demarcated
field g --or;..2l psychology, meta Qsychics is
the only science that deals with intelligent
forces. Ali other forces as yet studied by
men of science, from the point of view of
cause and effect, are blind forces devoid of
selt-consciousness and of caprice-that is,
without personality or will.
I'VE can no us~~ct Il least intellect =
altty in the combination of chlorine and So
dunn. Mercury expands by heat without it's
being able to understand or modify its ex-
panson. But the forces that govern pre-
monitions; teIepathy movements of objects
without contact, apparitions. and certain me-
! chanlcal and luminous phenomena, do not
seem to be blind and unconscious forces"
TO be sure, there are not lacking scoffers
who insist that the intellectually evident in
metapsychical phenomena is the inteIIectu-
ality of deceit and deusion Such scoffers
deny point blank the validity Of the facts on
which metapsychics rests, and they take the
position that to understand the alleged facts
one need not resort to metapsychics, but sim
ply to abnormal psychology. psychiatry. or
perchance to crimiL1Iogy.
Yet it is noteworthy that these SCORERS.
acting in accordance with preconceived
ideas of the impossi6ility of the phenomena
n question. have never taken the trouble
really to observe and study them for them
selves And they quite evidently have as
sumed that We now know all there is to learn
about personality and its possibilities.
The presumption of such an assumption Is
unworthy any one endowed with reasoning
powers. For that matter. psychology itself
IS as a science less than century old. 1t
is significant, too, that among those willing
TO accept metapsychics as separate science
are some Of the best known Of psychologists.

France and World Opinion

~ ONCEIvABLE it may be, but certainly
not probable, that the French govern
ment would court the worlds blame
for dashing all hopes of a helpful tnterna-
tional conference on PREPARATIONS. Premier
Poincare may talk of so limiting the scope
, of the council that America would not deem
It worth while to take part; but it is I'M
likely that he will carry such words into ac-
ton The more reasonable expectation is
that reflected in David Lawrences Washing
ton dispatch: 1.-THE best-informed view is
that verbal antiquities and legal technicali-
ties will be swept aside in another few days
and the parley of experts assured" The
American and the British proposals touching
a conference to determine Germany's capaci-
ty to pay are so sensible, so fair and so
rich in promise for peace and reconstruction
that world opinion can but approve. France
might defy the lighting, but hardly the
light.

4 Million Gu71s

| "a m OTHS never darted for the fame nor
| WH flies for the spiders web more avidly
than do multitudes of Americans for
swindles which they mistake for paths to
speedy riches. Solicitor Donnel1y, of the
Postoffce department, said the other day,
"A million gullibles lose yearly, in money
| and property, one billion dollars in mail
fraud schemes" Postmaster General New,
testifying of the same evil, told the Invest
ment Bankers Association that fraudulent
stocks and securities amounting to a billion
dollars annually are "palmed off on the pub
lie through the postal service" The same
revelations reported also the indictment of
seven New York stockholders ION charges
Of having swindled thousands of investors
out of many millions of dollars through
bucket-shop methods which included a liberal
use of malls" these slyboots appear to have
operated chiefly in canny New England, and
lege professors.
The country's fire loss of approximately
half billion dollars year has moved pub
lic-spirited citizens, from Tybee Light to the
Golden Gate to unite in educational cam
paigns for checking the enormous waste. But
with twice that sum being 1eeced from per-
sons, most of whom can i'll afford the part
ing, what is done by way of prevention?
Prosecutions under the federal law are as
frequent as detection of the criminals makes
possible, and for the most part are commend
ably vigorous. Still, the persistence and in
crease of the evil indicates that those meas
ures alone do not suffice. There is manifest
need of the States bestirring themselves to
keener vigilance and to more drastic dealing
with such frauds
Do all that they can, however, public
agencies will not be able to save every fool
from his folly Thousands of gulls, their
palms itching for sudden wealth, will never
learn save by sharp experience.
