AIDS TO ALERTNESS
Bv H. Addington Bruce


That well-known orthopedist, DR.. Joel E.
Goldthwait, recently broadcasted from sta
ton at Springfield Mass, a talk Of special
interest to all who appreciate the value of
mental alertness a factor in making life
successful.
Dealing in a general way with the subject
in which he has observation-disclosures of body
structure and posture-Dr. Goldthwait right
Iy stressed the Importance of physical attf-
tude as a help or hindrance to efficient think
ing. To begin with, as he pointed out:
1T looks better to see a man or woman
standing up straight, rather than slouched
or dropped. 1t feels fetter. The person is
more snappy, has more pep. The endurance
is greater, there is stuff left in the individ-
ual even after hard game or stiff piece
of work.
eff the body is used rightly the head is
held up, with the chin drawn in, and the
blood flows to and from the brain easily. In
this position the wits are most keen, the
reactions are quick. 1t is the position Oh
alertness."
To be sure, observation shows that
among people who SLOUGH there are not
few who are uncommonly alert mentally. But
they are exceptions to what may be set down
as a general rule, and their alertness is
achieved against real and quite unneces-
sary obstacle.
In most cases the slouching are the slow
IL,
in all cases improvement in posture is likely
to be followed by more or less Improvement
in point of rapidity, vigor, and clearness OF
thought.
So that Dr. Goldthwait's suggestion as to
postural improvement may deservedly be CIV
en- practical trial by everybody aware that
he or she sits, stands, walks badly. These
suggestions include:
s'Practice many times day, drawing your
self UP to your full height. Feel tall. Draw
in the chin, pull up the chest, draw in the
waist so as to flatten the back, and feel the
weight chiefly upon the front part OF the
feet. 1t will surprise you to see how quickly
such posture becomes a habit.
''In walking try to maintain the same po-
sition. Swing along with the body held tall
as if you owned the town, not as II you were
ashamed of your town or of yourselves.
''In sitting, keep the trunk of the body in
the same position as when standing. DO not
bend at the waist line, do the bending at
the hips. Lean backward or forward as much
as YOU choose but do not buckle in the mid
die"
Also, as DR.. Goldthwait reminded his radio
audience, there is such thing as a correct
posture for sleep, and this likewise, reacts to
promote mental alertness. 1t essentially con-
sists in lying as flat and as straight as posi-
ble Or again, in DR.. Goldthwait's own
words:
Get rid of most of the pillows. Lie upon
the back, face, or SIDE as best suits you, but
do not curl up. Sleep will be quieter and
you will wake in the morning rested, with
snap enough to tackle the tasks of the day
and make hard jobs seem easy

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

William SIavens McNntt, the short-story
writer and war correspondent, used to be
reporter in Seattle. One time he says, his
city editor sent him out to get an interview
with an Alaska miner who had just returned
to the states after twenty years spent in the
far north.
"Be sure, Bill" said his chief, 'to ask him
what he thinks about the new Smith build.

office.

old chap" he confessed.
what did he have to say about the Smith
building?" asked the disappointed city edi-
tor.
HE allowed it was pretty tall"

Will H. Hays, the movie king, was talking
about Americas export trade. "No wonder we
succeed as exporters" he said. "Our methods
are very large and generous in comparison
with European methods. The European, beside
the American exporter, is like the young
heckler who went into a shop and bought
pair of shoe laces. He planked down dollar
and got the change, and then he counted this
change over and over again, and all the time
his face kept getting blacker and blacker The
storekeeper got little inpatient at last.
Well Reuben" he said briskly, is your
change all right?
Yes said Reuben, but only just And
he walked out frowning and shaking his
head"

THE GIST OF COUE
Nv DIR Frank Crane

The gist of Coue is the old scientific truth
that faculty precedes function in evolution,
while the old religious truth expressed by
Horace Bushnell is that duty is not to be
measured by ability.
In plain English it is that somehow and
at some time the thing will happen if we
all look for it hard enough.
Bolton Hall tells story to the effect that
he went out into the streets and gazed up at
f1ag-pole. Presently some one stopped
beside him.
what are you looking at?"
ooh, the flag
81 don't see any flag" said the newcomer.
Another man stopped and the first said to
the second, "Do you see that fag?"
''Where?"
'Wny, up there; on that pole"
Others stopped to see what was going on.
1.-The flag, they are looking at the flag"
'FWhere?"
why, up there; don't you see it?'
ooh, yes;" said one, 81 see it, and some
body else plainly saw it, too.
There, up there-the flag" said several
Presently the janitor stuck his head out
of the window.
whats the row." he shouted.
"The flag they are looking for the flag"
"Why, of course" he said, "I'll put it right
up"
And he did.
Day by day in every way if you keep on
expecting anything something is liable to
happen.
By and by somebody will always hang out
the flag.

I've often wondered why they shave mans
head before they put him in the electric
chair" said the pessimist, glOomily.

CHAPTER T.
Edith Speaks Out

1t queer at dinner that evening. Edith
was very quiet and Norman paid very lit
tie attention to her. Every glance Of his
was for me, and he seemed eager to show
me that he had eyes for no one else.
[ was divided between responding to Nor
man and casting my eyes in Edith's direction
The change in her looks haunted me. What
could have occurred to make her look like
that and what had changed her attitude to-
ward me? The more l thought about it the
more certain I was that there was mystery
somewhere that 1 did not understand.
I was still somewhat of an invalid and
went to my room early. When I excused my
self with a little laugh that evening, 1 hast
ened to remark:
please don't bother about me- 1 get
tired very easily, Norman, why don't you
and Edith drop in somewhere for bridge?''
Edith was the first to respond.
"Of course not, JOAN I'm tired myself to-
night, and if Norman will excuse me, I'll go
up to my room"
We went upstairs together, and on the
landing, Edith turned to me and spoke in q
low voice:
I'D like to talk with you for few min
utes, Joan, may I come to your room?"
"Of course" I fastened to say and the
next minute we were in my room with the
door closed behind us.
1 curled myself UP in my favorite chaise
lounge and Edith took chair and drew it
up close beside me. For moment we were
quiet. There was an air of constraint be-
tween us, and then suddenly over Edith's
face there swept rather peculiar express
sion.
well, Joan. I've made mess of things,
haven't II" she said jerkily. II suppose
you'll never forgive me-
II don't understand" I returned. My heart
was beginning to beat fast. Was I about to
be taken into Ediths confidence? Was she
about to explain some of the things that
up to now l had not been able to understand?
Il don't expect you to understand she
said quickly, mot till I've explained to you.
You see, Joan, when I came out here to visit
you, l planned to teach Norman a lesson
decided to have filtration with him. and
when 1 saw that I was succeeding and that
he was falling for the flapper stuff that was
pulling, I was glad. L intended to lead him
on and then laugh and tell him how suscep-
tible he was, but you see what hadn't count
ed on was Herbert Livingston"
ooh, Edith I said quickly "then I was
right, after ALL"
about WHAT"
''You and Herbert"
She flushed brilliant scarlet up to the
very roots of her hair, and it was the old
Edith who with twist of her lips replied
sarcasticaIly:
He hates me, you know, or he hated the way
/ behaving to you. Hundreds of times
1 wanted to be myself, to act naturally to
try and show him that I wasn't such a heart
less vamp as I was pretending to be, but
every time thought of you and Norman, I
decided to go through with what had plan
ned"
Then you never liked Norman?" 7 asked
breathlessy
81 came near to hating him lots of times,
but knew you loved him and then when you
actually played into my hands by running off
with Herbert, 1 knew my little game had
come to an end. Norman will eat out of your

A Cotton-Ra;s,ng Program
For Georgia Prosber;t1

THAT is a, highly heartening picture
which DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, president
of the state agricultural college,
paints Of Georgias farming and business pos
sibilities for the year 1928. eff we raise crops
of the aggregate minimum value Of two hun
dred and sixty-million dollars" he wrote in
The Tri-WeekIy Journal, Georgia again will
be on the high-road to prosperous era, and
much of the unhappiness and discomfort now
witnessed will disappear. The achievement
of this end means that money will be in free
circulation in the fall of 1928, and will be so
uniformly distributed as to furnish funds for
the payment of at least a part of the obliga-
tions which have been accommodating for the
past two or three years. leave something to
be spent for pleasure and comfort, provide
literally for the maintenance of our public
welfare institutions, and put balance in the
savings bank for rainy day. Can we carry
this project into effect? We certainly can,
and I believe we are going to do It,"
We can do it by well-advised planning,
wellsustained industry, and liberal co-opera-
ton. AS for the plan, now of primary i'm
portance, Dr. soule and the great institution
of which he is head stand ready with counsel
matter to be dealt with and upon keen in.
terest in the welfare Of the states farming
rank and file. His recommendation, most
briefly stated, is that Georgia should raise
this year between one million two hundred
thousand and one million five hundred thou
sand bales of cotton, which should add ap-
proximately fifty million dollars to the value
of our farm crops. This can be done, he
maintains, without in any wise infringing
upon diversification, indeed without extend
ing the acreage now devoted to cotton. 1t
can be done in spite of the boil weevil, with
or without calcium arsenate. 1t can be done
at goodly profit to the growers (barring
unpredictab1e disaster) and to the enrich
ment of the commonwealth.
President Soule's program for this
achievement provides that Investigation of
crops, which is fundamental to our future
success should be continued and that ample
food supplies should be raised at home. But
it provides also for a cotton acreage held to
reasonable basis, limited to six or ten acres
to the pillow, and handled: 81. With thorough
preparation. 2. With liberal fertilization. g..
With good seed, furnishing cotton with long
er staple length, bringing a premium of a
cent or more. 4. With use of calcium arsen-
ate, if obtainable. If not. with unceasing
fight against the weevil. In either event,
with thorough cultivation to obtain early
opening. 5. With sale through Georgia Cot
ton Growers Cooperative association, to OBJ
tain correct grading and stapling, and an av-
erage price through gradual marketing"
To business as well as agricultural lead
ers The Journal commends careful reading
OF DR.. Soule's notable article, which appears
in the last issue, and bespeaks for the
constructive plans there laid down, state
