United States and Great Britain that
they would not intervene"
An American Of high standing in
Germany, a man closely acquainted
with leading Germans all over tho
country, who knows the people and
the language as well or better than
he knows his own, made this state-
ment to me while on his way through
this city.
Before the Ruhr occupation" he
said, Germany was split up into all
sorts of factions fighting among
themselves. The Ruhr has brought
them together to a man.
"Junkers and Syndicatlists, I'M
perialists, pan-Germans, Socialists
and Repubicans-all hate the
French today with a personal bitter
ness not apparent even during the
crucial days Of the war.
Hatred Rolls Up
GAS the French stay on; as incl
dent follows incident in the Ruhr,
and as tales of riding whips used by
the French on German civilians go
the rounds-true or false makes not
the slightest difference-this hatred
goes on rolling up.
Experts say the Germans could
not possibly make war against the
French. The latter have all the ma
chinery and the Germans have none.
"But experts also said prior to
1914 that a general European war
could not happen because the prin-
cipal nations were already nara
pressed for money.
Experts Opinion
"When the war broke out regard
less. these same experts said it could
not last year, because all concerned
would go bankrupt. Yet the war
LASTED over four years.
~ am not expecting war between
France and Germany. But let US
no4 forget is that connection the u
man eouation-super-heated anger
and desperation, the feeling that any.
thing would be better than the way
things are
"And then there is the rest q
Europe. Germany might find allies
among other desperate nations ~

MIGHT nevertheless kindle this hall

ATLANTA, April 19.-"It is use
less and worst than useless for the

which to meet and pay such appropri-
atlons, declared Governor Hardwick
IN a complete survey of the financial
situation in Georgia, in answer to the
various petitions received from Geor-
gia counties asking for the reported
excess over $8,5OO,O0O in 1922 taxes,
prepared for delivery today before
the annual meeting of the state school
officials here.
"Within the past few weeks there
have been transmitted to me resolu-
tloAs, identical in substance and in
language, from the county school
boards Of many counties in every
part Of Georgia" declared Governar
HardWick. Il am taking this oppor-
tunity to respond to these resolutions
and make public reply to them for
the benefit and information both of
the county school boards that have
adopted such resolutions and of the
public.
State Revenues $9,75O,O0O
1t IS true that the report of the
Comptroller-General will show that
the total revenues of the state re-
ceived in the year 1922 will amount
in round figures to about S9,750, 600.
1t is necessary, however, in this con
nection to point out that this is a
very different proposition from what
the revenue of the state for the wear
1922 Wi4l amount to, because in the
figure first named a considerable pro-
portion of the revenue in question
comes from the revenue of 1921
Under the law, the tax collectors of
the several counties of the state are
not required to make final settlement
with the Comptroler-General until
April 10th of each year, and, even if
every county tax collector of the
state of Georgia made prompt set
tlement by that date, it is impossible
to say what the revenues for the
year 1922 have amounted to until
April 2Oth.
Il would not be candid if I did not
tell you that my hope and belief is
that the revenue of the state for
the year 1922 will amount to the fo-
ure stated in your resolution, towit
$9,75O,OO0, although of course I can
take no official action until the fact
IN question is definitely, accurately
and officially determined.
Provision is made in the nroan-
bic to the act of August 10, 1919.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
SEWING MACHINE
NEEDLES
ONENF~~O~1N1N
20. 1922. Harland II. Allen

More housewives have trouble with
sewing machine needles than with any
other part of the machine. This is
generally because they go about buy
ing the needles in the wrong way.
When purchasing sewing-machine
needles you should always remember
that the different makes Of sewing
machines call for needles of different
shapes and sizes, so that a-~needle
that Is suited for one type of ma
chine will not do satisfactory work on
another. Whenever possible, there
fore, you should insist on getting
needles of a reliable make, with the
name Of the machine stamped right
on the shank of the needle.
You will not always be able to do
this, however because nearly all fac
tories put out many machines of the
same model under different names.
These names may be put on to suit
the different ideas of the merchants
handling the machines in various
towns, and SO will vary in different
communities. You can see that under
these conditions, unless you do get a
needle marked with the factory's
name, your chance of securing the
proper needle for your machine is go
ing to be very great.
To meet this difficulty, number Of
the needle manufacturers have classf-
fed all the different makes of ma
chimes - nearly eight thousand Of
them and are putting out needle out
fits containing needles for all types
Of theEs
The most important point about
which you should be concerned in buy
ing sewing-machine needles is to get
the correct size. It is even worse to
use a needle that is too small, than
one too large. For with a larger
needle there is less wear on 4 the
thread when sewing. You see, every
time stitch is made the thread has to
pass backward and forward through
the eye of the needle several times
On power machines they always use
a special needle, larger at the eye
than in the blade, to Offset this fric-
ton.
Other points to watch for in a per
feet needle are:
That the eye is carefully polished,
SO that there are no rough edges to
cut the thread
That the point be smooth and
sharp.
That the needle has well-fattened
place on one side of the shank, so
that it will fit perfectly into the ma
chine bar.

CHOOSING WALL PAPER

'I'll never buy busy wall paper
again, walled a young housekeeper.
AS soon as I saw her room knew
what she meant. The occupant was
kept busy working out squares and
diamonds, or counting some ever
recurring unit Of design. To be sick
for any length of time in that room
would be a constant torture to the
eye.
We could easily avoid such mis-
takes If only we could get the habit
of thinking of our walls as back
grounds instead Of as themselves
supplying the decorations for the
room, and keep them as soft and neu-
trail as possible.
It is not necessary to buy expensive
paper to have attractive walls for
rooms, but it is a good plan to famil-
iarize yourself with the best in order
to choose the same effect in cheaper
grades.
The most satisfactory room / ever
saw was papered with notified gray

know that the very cheapest papers
are often put on wrong side out?
Styles change in wall paper, and
new designs are appearing every sea-
son, but Of one thing we are certain
the hideous cabbage rose and realistic
peony varieties are "out." The pref
erence is all for plain effects.
OF these the stipple tones are very
popular. That is probably because
the methods of coloring the paper give
a great diversity of tones. and at the
same time the effect subtly expressed
is one Of distance, rest and quiet
Many of these papers are given a
pressed texture before the soft grays
and ecrus are stippled on, so that
they resemble grass cloth.
Similar to the stipples are the two
tone papers having small all-over de
signs and stripes done in two tones
of some>soft, neutral color, such as a
shadow design of softest gray on a
background of ivory or tan on ecru.
Striped papers come under the gen
eral head of plain papers, and they
have the advantage over perfectly
plain paper in the fact that Imperfect
tons in the walls are never so readily
detected.
