BUILDING STABILITY

A committee composed of architects, building
ers representatives of moneylending institutions,
ca service workers and economists has been studying
of the problems of the building situation in New
York City 1t is known "the committee of the public
group of the building industry It's findings although
based conditions in the metropolis, applicable
the situation in most other American cities
Stability, which in the long run serves everybody
concerned, is Of the crying needs of the building
industry it is of any important industry Stability,
the committee says is based primarily on an adequate
supply of labor It also depends the efficiency of
workers and their utilization for any work they
capable of doing instead of their restriction to special
lied tasks.
The committee believes also that there should be
freer of machinery in order to increase individual
output So far, it finds employers have lacked enter
prise to introduce useful machinery and unions have
ruled against it, in spite of the fact that both would
gain by its A,~a as a.
One other factor in stabilizing building is the
spreading of the peak longer period of time In
New York City, for example only so per cent of the
workers employed during several months of the
year. while in spring and summer there is frenzied
rush in building, attended by shortage of workers.
The committee does not make any pretensions to
the discovery advancement of ideas and theor-
les this vital subject. It's careful Investigations,
however, confirm the suspicious and beliefs of many
citizens who have given serious thought building
problems The industry itself should be the first to
admit the need of these specific reforms and to under
take them.

But l don't see how those goat

Nearer and nearer came the skat-

1t was the bad Bushy Bear

"Oh. my goodness!' gaspcd

Then Uncle Wiggily began to

Uncle Wiggily quickly ran up to

look down on the fee pond. Along
came Uncle Butter skating as fast
as lie could skate, but hardly able

THE GERMAN QUESTION

There is surprisingly little real sympathy for Ger
many in that countrys present doorous position.
The efforts being made publicly and privately in Eng
land and America, to obtain reparaons DEAL do
not seem to be based on sympathy. Neither are they
based immediate business consideration. Most peo-
ple here and in allied countries while supporting such
move, are doing in rather dispassionate way, as
good thing for the world in general.
This attitude is we'll expressed in cable from
London to an American newspaper:
mo one at the moment is thinking any more of
reparatons Plainly there is nothing to be recovered
The urgent question is whether she can be kept
from chaos and conflict which will have disastrous re-
suits for all Europe"
The purpose is therefore broadly philanthropic
especially as far America is concerned 1t is to be
remembered, however, that wise philanthropy almost
invariably pays practical profits in the long run.
That is what may be expected of this present ven
ture Tor Europes economic readjustment if it sue
ceeds A Germany chastened but preserved in the
heart OF continent kept from collapse itself by Ger
man preservation will be very advantageous in the fu
ture to this country quite aside from sentimental and
cultured considerations.

A PROHIBITION NAVY

If as some authorities hold, the United States gov
ernment has right to the to suppress liquor
smuggling there is question that create other
instruments for the purpose and that should be So
That the administration itself takes this view is
is shown by the fact that it is preparing to ask Con-
gress for S20000000 to provide powerful fleet OF new
revenue cutters and motorboats for chasing rum rum
ners" It wants than 200 such boats in addition
to those already in service to be operated under the
coast guard.
This looks like business in field of federal activ
ty which hitherto has seemed altogether business
like.
The booze fleet operating along the Atlantic coast
and anchorng regularly off New York harbor has
been national scandal. The new arrangement with
Great Britain, whereby the searching Of British ships
will be permitted far out IL miles, should do
much to cure the evil.
The rum-running between ships and shore by
fleets of small swift American powerboats has been
still scandalous An adequate fleet Of small po
lice craft properly armed should wipe out those traf
fickers.
1t is absurd to suppose that nation which in its
infancy went and cleaned up the pirates in the
Mediterranean cannot clean up this mess own

FARM EDUCATION
you think OF this section for
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

you think OF this section for
peaches?
North Georgia has been noted for
the production of fine apples since
1850 and probably for long time
| before that period. The first anthem
! tic record of &c State horticultural
society, however, dates from the
time indicated. The apple growing
section par excellence lies in the
northern part of the state. 1t is
probably the only section of Georgia
in which commercial orcharding can
be underta ken with profit and adj
vantage. OF course there is no rea-
son why some apples should not be
produced in middle Georgia as well,
but climatic conditions in the latter
section do not favor the production
of winter apples.
Among the varieties which you
could plant with some satisfaction
are the Yellow Transparent, the
Horse, the Yates, the Terry, the
Wine Sap and the Ben Davis. BY
Red June" you no doubt mean Red
Astrakhan. This is a summer apple,
the shipping season for which varies
from May to July, according to To-
cation. 1t is a conical fruit of me-
dunn size. The flesh is yellow, and
the background is overIaid with red.
1t has subacid flavor, and the
texture is of fair quality. 1t is
very good and useful, early variety
of summer apple. The other sorts
mentioned above are standard IN so
far as the state of Georgia is con
cerned, and you no doubt are more
or less familiar with the principal
characteristics.
There is, of course, no reason why
you should not grow peaches accept
ably in your section of the state.
This is semitechnical business, and
peach orcharding to be profitable
must be handled on a thoroughly
scientific basis. Very large areas of
peaches are being planted in many
sections of Georgia at this time.
Some of the locations are not being
we'll selected. In many instances, the
wrong varieties are being planted
and the management being accorded
many of these orchards is not the
best. These are important facts to
bear in mind, as they will tend to
minimize the profits obtained by
many peach growers. On the other
hand, a peach orckarding propOsi-
ton, properly handled, should make
the landowner a good profit even in
view of the considerable extension
in the area of peach lands now in
existence

| Spotty the Turtle and Mrs. Spotty
were lying on a partly sunken log
! in the Smiling Pool taking a sun
bath. They are very fond of taking
| sun baths on the end of that old
! log. They spend a great deal of
| time there. They can watch much
of what goes on in and around the
! Smiling Pool. and the Smiling Pool
is their world.
On this warm summer morning
nothing of particular interest had
| happened. Longlegs the Heron had
visited the Smiling Pool, but not a
pollyWoe, frog or fish had he
caught. Finally he had flown away
! in disgust. Rattles the Kingfisher
! had caught two very small min
noWs. This was the only real ex-
! element.
1T is rather dull morning;
don't you think so, my dear?" said
! Spotty to Mrs. Spotty.
Rather" replied Mrs. spotty,
blinking her eyes sleepiIy. "But !
would rather have it so. [ am not
at all fond of excitement" She
blinked her eyes again, and looking
as if she might fall asleep any
minute.
But spotty wasn't sleepy. He
continued to watch and wish for
something to happen. Somehow he
was finding life very dull. Present
| ly he noticed that something was
moving on the opposite bank of the
! Smiling Pool. He watched. Who
ever it was over there. was moving
very slowly on land, and so he
didn't grow impatient. He patiently
watched and waited.
At last there appeared another
! Turtle. Yes, sir, it was another
Turtle, but very tiny one. 1t was
so little that SpottY hardly recoG-
nized it as a Turtle until just as
and started to dive in.
Look there" exclaimed Spotty
to Mrs. Spotty. Where do you sup
pose that little chap came from%'
Mrs. Spotty lazly opened her
eyes, and was just in time to see
the small Turtle. "Oh," she yawn-
ed, that must be one of our chill
dren. l thought it must be about
time for them to appear"
'What?" exclaimed Spotty II
didn't know we had any children"
I'VE didn't have but I guess we
have now" replied Mrs. Spotty.
There's another" exclaimed
Spotty. And sure enough there was
another wee Turtle scra milling down
| the opposite bank.
Mrs. Spotty began to take more
interest. ""There should he several
more OF them said she. I'VE
must keep count
SO Spotty and Mrs. Spotty watch.
Ell the opposite bank for 9 long
time but not another wee Turtle
appeared. The two they had already
seen swan about, and presently
came across and crawIed out on
the old log on which they them
selves were flying: Spotty and
Mrs. Spotty paid no attention to
them. To have seen them you new
