EHEU FUGACES!
BY DR.. Frank Crane

IN URING the summer of 1928 We spent
y some weeks in Japan. One thing that
7 we were determined to see was Full
yama, the sacred mountain of the country,
the imposing cone that is the motif of illus
tration on all artistic things Japanese
We visited all sorts of places. which were
advertised as the best points from which to
view it; but it was the rainy season and the
old monarch kept himself covered always
with thick clouds.
So we went on to China without having
had glimpse of it.
And then, returning from Shanghai to Yo-
kohama, as we neared the latter port, we
heard the cry from some one on deck,
There's Full"
We rushed out to the rail and sure enough
there it reared it's maj estic head and shout
ders above the hills, above the loW-lying
clouds, above sea and land, as If it were a
vast tent pitched upon the clouds and up
holding the sky upon its truncated summit.
Only few hours we saw it, and, it passed
"a type of life's high moments, of the fate
full brevity of the wondrous.
For no soul can dwell among amazing
things and find them always amazing. What
makes a miracle is that it happens but once,
or rarely Repeated, it descends to the COM
monplace.
If nobody had ever seen a sunrise. and
once In generation the great ball Snould
roll up the slopes of the east, with all the
daughters of Aurora about him, what an
event that would be, and would not the whole
world crowd the hills and housetops to see it.?
But because the misty miracle takes place
every day millions refuse to leave their
sleepy beds to look at il.
And what shattering spectacle would be
the night sky full of stars if it were ex-
hibiton but hour in lifetime!
But it is Of the very nature of glory that
it shall pass.
We complain that life has but few high
hours, but it is because they are few that
they high.
We are distressed that our days are so
commonplace, yet it is only from this dull
plain that can see the pillar OF cloud by
day and the pillar of fire by night.
The precious is fugacious.
All loneliness is fleeting.
Whether it be the flash Of insects bur-
nished wing in the sunshine the ripple of
the wind upon the lake, the ivory softness of
the lily the electric thrill of first love, the
high moment of spiritual exaltation, its I'M
forgettable charm is its virginia. newness, its
subtle fascination is in its evanescence.

: THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. II. FELTON

may go the same bloody way If they cross
the path of the assassin or say a word which
will displease courtezan who can carry
pistol in a paper sack, or take a seat in
taxi where he is driving and shoot his life
out of him before he has any suspicion in
his mind of her murderous intent.
Something has got to be done to check
this craving to kill human beings, and some
thing has also got to be done to punish these
assassins to the limit of the law who thus
carry firearms. Il would seem reasonable
that men who sworn to keep order, to
catch criminals, would be the last people in
the world to become assassins. They are
armed by the law of the land to check murder
and violence. The outside man is disarmed
by the law because ho might use firearms and
! commit murder in the heat of the moment.
He can be tried by the courts for carrying
concealed weapons his person. He has
no opportunity, therefore, to defend him
self from the policeman who carries his pis-
tol in his pocket or swinging from his belt
For one am firmly convinced that niue h
of the prevailing violence and crime is due
to inf1amed brains made go by the use of
intoxicants. 1t breeds insane desires and
revenges. All! some will say, does liquor
make a woman shoot down the man she is
too intimate with? Do they indulge?" Quite
possible, l still maintain. And when we rec
oIlect that these in{oXicants are manufac-
tured out Of anything that will quickly fer
ment, that is strong enough, and 1 will add
poisonous enough, to corrode the human
stomach, it's influence on the human brain
will make itself apparent in these acts of
violence and premeditated human destruc-
ton.
Those who are familiar now with the
hooch must keep under cover at this time
1t is manufactured illegally and it is vended
illegally. 1t is all done in secret places
may add, in dark corners-and no matter
where hooch is discovered it has done a
part of its deadly work by demoralizing
those who handle it and who use it under
cover
If I had to be sworn to my belief, with
out the actual knowledge OF the provoking
cause of this wave of crime and general de-
moralization of society 1 would say I be-
lieve before God and man, that we will not
improve conditions until we set proper law
enforcement on the liquor question.

QUIZ

O. When were mirrors or looking glasses
first brought to this country? NJ. L. J.
A. The first authentic record of mirrors
or distinguishes in this country is in an in
yentory in Maryland in 1859. They were at
that time rare even in England, being i'm
ported from Venice.
O. How is oleomargarine made? r. K. l..
A. Oleomargarine is artificial butter. 1t
Is made by straining melted beef fat and
allowing it to stand at "a degrees Much of
the stearin crystallizes out and the remaining
liquid (the oleomargarine) is pressed out
and allowed to solidify. The solid is finally
mixed with little oil, to render it softer,
and is churned with milk to impart the
butyrin, the product similar in the chem
ical nature to butter.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

About once in so often some imprisoned
partisan rises up in congress or elsewhere
and accuses the majority party or the adj
ministration or somebody of bribery. corrup-
ton, fraud and incompetency, and
nounces his intention of smoking the scoun-
drels out. This type of person is especially
numerous in presidential years, but we have
him other years, too.
few years ago--it was in 1915, I be-
lteve-there was prominent spellbtnder on
the Republican side who set forth upon his
campaigning with the avowed intention Of
proving that wholesale Democratic stupidity
at Washington had practically ruined the
country and then, being challenged for facts
to back up his accusation so shy of
actual ammunition that for the moment he
could point only to the instance of petty
officehoIder a hoIdover from the Taft adj
ministration who, in alleged violation OF
civil service rules, had been outsed from his
job to make room for Wilson man.
The incident reminded friend Of mine
down South of a certain gifted hound dog
which certain Kentucky pioneer owned.
He said to me:
THE old fellow used to tell me that when
his father came out over the Wilderness
Trail from North Carolina he brought with
him the fastest, the best-bred, the keenest-
nosed hound that had ever been seen in the
infant settlements beyond the mountains.
But the dog suffered from a temperamental
defect, which initiated against his success.
cat sunrise he would start out on his
own hook after deer. He would jump
buck and run him for miles When rne
buck was on the point Of exhaustion the
hounds nostrils would catch the faint in the
air where fox had crossed the trail, and
he would instantly decide that, after all,
fox was what he had come for; and he
would turn aside to pursue the fox.
Perhaps an hour later, when the chase
was growing warmer every minute, his keen
nose would detect the presence of a rabbit,
and he would go after the cottontai, with
the inevitable result that by o'clock in
the afternoon that hound would be thirty
forty miles away from home, in a swamp,
with a chipmunk treed"

THE CHEAPEST is HUMAN LIFE

The CHEAPEST Is HUMAN LIRE
r SEE more of Atlanta's newspapers than
any others, and perhaps Atlanta being
the largest city in the state, has more
murder trials than any other in Georgia, but
the wave of crime which is apparently going
over Atlanta at the present era is enough to
convince any reader of current events that
the cheapest thing is the life of human be-
ings at this particular period in September,
1928, and below everything else in value.
There seems to be murder-lust abroad In
the land 1t is rampant, along with bigamy,
divorce and general Indifference to the moral
law. Men and women, brazen, are shooting
to kill. Pistols are in evidence among those
who have all the need for peace, harmony
and quiet in their homes which can be at
tainable in any condition of life. Fatherless
babies and weeping widows sit in the GRIM
inal court rooms to hear the lawyers talk
about the particular crime of killing their
own husband and father and the provider
for their own food and shelter.
What sight is this, in the very center of
our civilization, when murder takes up the
regular business of the courts and sthe jails
are tenanted with criminals, men and wom-
en-, who have shot to kill-des peradoes of
both sexes armed to the teeth and who de-
liberately shoot down occasion those they
dislike!
And with money to spare these criminals
can hire legal counsel who will demand that
these murderers shall go free! Money will
buy witnesses that periure themselves to
save these guilty lives to society, where they
can do more of the same sort of vile work,
if the pay is sufficient
What's the matter with us, anyhow? Is
it the miserable booze that is flowing free
throughout Georgia by reason of bootlegging
and the brazen violation Of the eighteenth
amendment? Is this the aftermath of the
late war, when lust and adultery had the
run of the road?"
We are nearly wild about free school edu-
cation, spending millions on highways, crazy
about politics. and the country is filled with
restless pepole who have made up their
minds not to work In the fields any more
that the government shall provide for their
maintenance, paid in money, wrung out of
the labor of those that do work that do try
to keep order, that do try to protect the
innocent and who trembe to know that they

~ NOE more the insanity theory of genius
II J has been urged upon the public this
time by German scientist, Kretz-
schmer, of Tubingen.
And of course it is not difficult to find
in the records of genius instances going to
bear out such view. Many a man of gen
JUS, in every generation since men of genius
first were known, has been undeniably lack
ing in mere control, and has eynced in
more ways than an Unborn or acquired
tendency to mental disease.
Some men of genius have even had to be
confined in refugees for the insane. Also, it
may be added in support of Kretizschmer, it
has frequently happened that among men
not conspicuous for mental ability of any
kind, artistic other talent has surprising
ly appeared coincident with a malady of the
mind.
Such facts nevertheless can hardly be said
to throw any light on the real nature of
genius when 1t is recalled that sanity has as
markedly characterized many outstanding
men and women of genius as insanity has
characterized others. Charles Lambs re-
mark-"It is impossible for the mind to con-
| ceive of a mad Shak espeare"-is equally ap-
plicable to numerous other men of genius.
How can one conceive of a mad Homer
or a mad Newton or a mad Edison? To ask
such a question is in itself to justify the
assertion that while insanity may be an &C
cident of genius-as also an accident of stu
pfdity-the explanation of genius is. not to
be found in insanity.
Where then is it to be found? Long ago
Emerson hazarded this guess, certainly a
more satisfying one than the insanity no.

by Frederic w. H. Myers-that men of
genius are given to the world as exemplaTs
of powers possessed by all men but left I'M

scfous has already made many discoveries
giving force to this hopeful idea.

@RONICLING the cheerful fact that
Y Douglas county has fifty thousand hens
the Sentinel shows how prosperous
times will be when that number is trebled
Let's estimate thrty-sx thousand lay
ing" it begins; that would be three thou
sand dozen eggs day. Eggs are readily
bringing forty cents a dozen, or twelve hun
dred dollars a day. four hundred and
thirty-eight thousand dollars a year. Add
hundred thousand for the sale of hens,
broilers and friers and your poultry business
exceeds half million dollars Add also an
income of five dollars a month each from
twenty-five hundred cows which is less than
two for each farm in the county and only
about half what each cow should produce;
this means an annual income of one hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars. Then, your
cotton crop OF, say three hundred thousand
dollars, would carry the total away beyond
the million mark, to say nothing OF your feed
and food crops, your hogs, vegetables and
other produce. Prosperity is knocking at
our door. Shall we open and receive it, or
let it go by?"
This is not day-dreaming, it is business
like. calculation. Wherever the hen, the
COW and the hog have been given due place
in the farm programs of GeoIgia, they have
made the music of good times. They are not
only the great diversifers, but also the great

from rusty chains Of debt,
