MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin S. Cobb

A few years ago q gentleman who had ac-
qUired a million in other lines of en-
deaVor took a part of his fortune and with
it built theater Broadway. The the
alter was pretty far uptown, as New York
then measured uptown, and at the outset
business was not what the new owner eX-
pected.
~ At the end OF the second week as pro-
prietor-manager he was standing at the door
one afternoon just before the Saturday mat
inee performance began, talking to the\ late
Paul West. Along came leading dramatic
critic and he stopped tor a minutes chat
with the other two.
Say, Harry" asked the owner, whats
the reason that I amt making no money
outer this here proposition? Here l so and
put up a nice clean HOUSE, >nd book a good
show and yet the crowd amt comingl"
well" diagnosed the critic, I'll tell you,
Jake; this is a new place and you mustn't
be in too big a hurry. Remember how long
it took some Of these other houses to get
established You'll have to build up your
own clientele. 49,
He passed on and West went inside TO see
the show. When he came out at the end
Of the first act the millionaire was waiting
for him and drew him aside.
Paul." he demanded, "What was the
name of that there thing Harry told me Id
have to build up 1lere?'
"a clientele" said West.
'Sure, l thought 1 had it right" said the
owner, "and now what | wanter know is
why them guys down at the building depart
ment gave ne the laugh a while ago when
[ called EN- up and asked for a permit to
build one"

THE ATLANTA TRI.wEEKLY JoURNAL
FAINT hygiene work.

fant hygiene work. Nearly all the States
v2 arc reminded, ,"have met this liberal Of
fer for t. --otection of child life.
BY all means the Eegisla,--- should hare

the failure to relieve the impoyerishment of
the +ra...ug schools for rental detectives
Nor can &c refusal to provide for q survey
OF the common school system be eXtepuated.
Defeat of the bill authori2 counties to
abolish the fee system was expected, but
was nevertheless a surrender of public

claptrap and intrigue Inefficient, inequita-
bic. and wholly indefensible, the fee system
is one of tt )se deep-rooted and cunningly
conservoI ills which only veritable on
slaught of popular sentiment can destroy.
HOW soon this hall ~ome about depends
upon how soon the rank q" file turn to Sc
rious thinking uron the W--~Gs thus being
done them. The forestry bill, though blocked
at the last session, represents SO vital and
so imperiled an interest OF the common
wealth that it ought to be urged again at
the earliest feasible moment and pressed 10
enactment.
We agree with the State Council Of So
ciaI Agencies that judgment upon the pre-
ent Legislature should be suspended till its
record is complete. In the extraordinary
session last month it will have opportunity
to reconstruct uron sound and equitable
lines a tax system which is commonly ac-
knowledged to be unwise in principle as well
as unfortunate and Intellectual in practice.
Moreover, in the regular session of 1924 it
will have abundant opportunity, if the most
is made of precious time, to repair the
breaches and correct the errors of last sum-
mer, and to make every thoughtful citizen
it's willing debtor. May these hopes all be
richly fulfilled.

Ho! the Harvest Moons Now Hereby Isabel M. Lewis

w Sunday, September %, at 9:04
p. m, eastern standard time, fall
was ushered in officially and astronomicaIly,
for the northern hemisphere Spring will
begin at the same time for the fortunate
inhabitants of Australia, South America
and other lands of the southern hemis-
phere.
On the following day we shall be greet
ed by the harvest moon, the full moon
that occurs each fall nearest to the time
when the sun is at the autumnal equinox
in Virgo, or the point where it crosses the
equator southwark bound. The full moon
next following the harvest moon is known
the hunters moon, and it will appear
this year on October "a.
On the average the moon rises about
fifty-one minutes later each day now
but this daily retardatiOn of mOOnrise IS
subject to great variations owing to the
fact that the moons position with respect TO
the equator is constantly changing and that
the moon does not move at uniform
rate in it's orbit. For the latitude of New
York the difference between the time OF
mOOnriSe successive days may vary any
where from tWenty-three minutes to one
hour and seventeen minbtes. Further north
the variation in the daily retardatiOn OF
mOonrise is even greater and within the
Arctic circle the moon Ofetn skirts along
the horizon for number OF days at a
time with little if any difference in its
time of rising On successive evenings. In
the fall when the sun is at or near the
autumnaI equinox in Virgo the full moon
nearest to that date will occur with the
moon in Pisces 1870. degrees distant at or
near the point where its path makes It's
smallest angle with the eastern horizon. AS
a result there will be but little difference in
the time of moOnrise for several successive
evenings. In the latitude Of northern Nor
way Sweden, Canada, and Alaska the moon
will rise at practically the same time for
an even greater number Of days.
One can readily see what an advantage
it would be at this busy season Of the
year when farmers are gathering in the
harvest and working far into the evening
to have the illumination provided by the
friendly rays Of the moon following close
upon the setting of the sun for a number
of successive evenings. SO it is that the
full moon coming closest to the time the
autumnaI equinox has long been known as
the harvest moon. The full moon next fol-
lowing the harvest moon also occurs at
time when the moons orbit rises at small
angle from the eastern horizon and from
its association with the hunting season it
has received the name of the hunters
moon.
With the coming OF the harvest moon this
fall the daily ratardation in the time of
moonrise amounts to thirty minutes in the
latitude of New York city. The tables of

The End
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG
By. H. Addington Bruce
y
p GU have a small boy whose eXcitability
Y and irritability trouble you, and have

rxOJ have a small boy whose excitability
Y and irritability trouble you, and have
been troubling you for some time.
He continually demands to be entertained,
he shows a curious inability to settle down
to anything for any length Of time, and his
reactions if crossed in his desires are quick
and most unpleasant.
You have pleaded with him. you have
threatened him, you have perhaps punished
him, all to no purpose. You confess that he
is real problem to you. And you say to
yourself that If he does not presently change
for the better you will have to do something
in the way of seeking medical or other ex-
pert advice
Your boys excitability and irritability may
be rooted in conditions which, If not ascer-
tanned and treated while he still Is very
young, may have a lifelong effect for harm
on his physical health perhaps even on his
mentality.
The mere fact that you are quite at loss
how to handle him should be sufficient to
persuade you of the Importance of seeking
aid from outside. Don't delay any longer.
Act at once.
Or perhaps your boy puzzles you in an
other way. Instead Of being irritable and
excitable he is unnaturally phlegmat1c and
placid He displays little interest in any
thing, nothing moves him to vigorous action
or angry retort.
Also he betrays a singular preference for
his own company as compared with the COM
pany of other children. He may play with
others occasionally, as a result of your urg-
ing. But soon he is back in the house, in
ertly dling about. He has little to say to
anybody, even to you. He simply wants to
be let alone.
This, you are we'll aware, is not the ordi-
nary behavior of childhood. There must be
something amiss. But you keep hoping
against hope that your boy will eventually
grow out of his extraordinary seclusiveness.
Don't wait too long for him to grow out OF
it. AS in the former case, there is danger
that unless its causes are detected and
moved the secusiveness may be forerunner
of developments spelling lifelong misery for
your son and lifelong grief for yourself.
1t is a common error on the part of parents
to ignore the danger signals presented by
the behavior of such children, or to delay in
consulting about them until it is too late for
effective remedial action to be taken. Some
times, alas, the signals are indicative of evils
irremediable from the start But this is not
true in the great majority of cases.
'Wearied child minds, twisted thoughts
and destroying habits have brought to me
lesson that 1 wish l could hand down like
the Sermon on the Mount" exclaims Max
imiian Groszmann, from the experience of'a
quarter Of a century of child's play. "A
little care, ounce of prevention, and the
burying of parents false pride would soon
reduce the numbers of defective children"

4 Digest Of the Legislature

~ ANGU1NE temperaments may take cour-
age from the fact, referred to in the
current report of the State Council of
Social Agencies, that the Georgia General
Assembly of 1923-24 has not yet run its
course, but has full another fifty days, ex
elusive of the special session, in which to
disappoint it's critics and rejoice it's friends.
Thus it will be time enough to pronounce
Judgment the report suggests, after final ad-
journment next summer. 1.-THE Legislators
are elected for two years, and bills intro
duced at the first session hold their places
in committee and on the calendar" Many
such are pending, which, if duly considered
and revised, would be of great benefit to
the state
In giving the public an accurate and i'm
partial digest of the work of the last session
in SO far as it touched human interests, the
State Council of Social Agencies does
valuable service. 1t lists as "outstanding
measures" the provision for a fund of five
hundred thousand dollars to build tubercu-
losis hospital, the permissive playground and
recreation act, the law warranting counties
and municipalities to cooperate in high
school consolidation, the requirement of safe
guards against fire hazards in public schools,
the establishment of an ex-service~ mems bu-
reau, and the increase in the welfare depart
ment's appropriation. This last is especially
to be commended in that it strengthens
state agency of fundamental Importance to
the people and, in its personnel, of the high
est degree conscientiousness and efficiency.
The Mann highway measure is, of course,
capitally important.
Asr"bad bills that were killed." the Coun-
Gil enumerates the following: can effort to
undermine the workmen's compensation act;
an effort to weaken the divorce laws by
abolishing the granting of partial divorces;
an effort to repeal the tick eradication law;
an effort to abolish compulsory school at
tendance; an effort to deprive judges of the
right to revoke probation and parole in pro-
hibition cases without court trial; bill to
give the presentments Of grand juries the
force of law, thus setting up local Iegisla-
lures; the bill to repeal the prohibition law;
the bill to abolish the agricultural and me-
chanical schools; and the bill to prohibit the
teaching of evolution, which would have
been a precedent for legs'-t:ng against free
discussion on debatable subjects in the
schools" We would add on our own &C
count, the effort to abolish the tax equaliza-
tion law without at the same time providing
a CONSTITUTIONAL institute. For having stout
ly refused to fall into that error the Lect-la-
ture may we'll be dissolved from number
of regrettable omissions.
Those omissions, however, were far 700
numerous. Amc2g the particularly good and
needful measures which failed to pass, the
State Council CT Social Agencies places fir t
that it of the appropriation bill intended
to match federal funds for maternity and in

ENTERTA|N-
MEMT FINE

The splendid entertainment given at
the College last Friday evening for
the benefit Of the Students Loan Fund
was one of the best that the people
Of Gunison have had the opportunity
Of hearing in many months. Severai
musical numbers under the direction
of Mr.. and Mrs. Damson and Mr..
Miller were the source of enjoyment,
also one-act comedy, in which Norma
Gribbin, Frank Williams, Bruce Stone,
Wilma Doig and Everett Miller were
the actors was the big laughter pro-
voking feature of the evening.
The 80 piece orchestra especially
was q pleasant surprise, for while
GunnisOn audiences are accustomed to
expect enjoyable numbers, the perfect
ensemble of the players and the ease
and fine effect with which the leader
played upon his wonderful instrument
Of violins. viols, celles, clarinets and
horns, like a magnificent organ, was
a revatation in orchestral music. The
band Of 35 pieces is also coming on
and will soon be able to excel the
band Of year ago, which made such
a good record during music week in
Denver. Mr.. Damson hopes to take
his orchestra for tour Of Western
Slope cities during spring months.
We wish that space permitted us
to detail the excellent work of the diff
ferent musicians and players, but
must close with = word Of commenda-
tion for "The Florist Shop" most
cleveer comedy in which the young
people exhibited high talent under the
careful training Of Mrs. Damson.
The auditorium vaa filled to cspa-
city and everyone, in attendance ex-
pressed the price as being "money
well spent. About $l76 HI ticket re-
ceipts was added to the Sthdsnts' Loan
Fund. 40 a ~ gst
Mrs. Margaret White OLeary,
treasurer Of the Fund, gave very in
teresting talk on the growth Of this
means Of assisting worthy students
during an intermissioni Of the inter-
tainment. Ia ms

THE LURE
OF GOLD

The recent return Of Robert and
John Swanson to Gunnison, after sew
eral years spent in Alaska ON gold
seking expeditions and adventure trips
Of various kinds, recalls to the memory
Of some Of our oId-time prospectors
their early experience in Colorado, as
well as the spirit Of 80.
The Swanson brothers had thrilling
experiences in the great North coun-
try while seeking the yellow metal,
that seldom befaIl . person IN the
more southern latitudes. For in
stance, the mode Of travel was, rs q
rule, by dog teams ov on foot, when
IN this manner, and perhaps il would be
necessary to pack their supplies on
their backs and live of Of the land.
During such trips. thousands of wild
animals were seen. among them many
game animals, such rs moose, caribou,
mountain sheep and scores Of smaller
game. Bear. wolf and other carni-
verous animals were to be seen and en-
countered quite often, in fact, it was
an every day occurrence. These two
young men made placer mining their
vocation while in the Fairbanks locali-
~. They were unusually successful in
their quest for gold, as they seem to
have their pockets full Of gold mug
gets, some Of them weighing more
than an ounce, also watch chains and
many other articles Of value, made
from pure gold nuggets were in evid-
ence about their persons. These speci-
mems We're Dawson gold," which is
very similar to the famous Cripple
Creek oold, it having very novel ap-
pearance in these settings.
The boys state that in one of their
"clean-ups" in the sluicing work, they
reckoned $500 and from one to two
Thousand at cleanup, was consider
ed an average.
| Messrs. Swanson also tell of the ap.
ricultural possibilities in Alaska as
being OF coniderable Importance. "The
very best OF hay, spuds and garden
truck ale being raised at Fairbanks.
All modern conveniences and inven-
tions are being used by the popuiace in
every Alaskan community. Hundreds
tofautos can be seen on the streets OF
Fairbanks, and during the summer
I seasons, auto racing is one of the
pastimes. The boys contemplate spend.
I ing few months in the Gunnison
country. and will perhaps return to
Alaska for more adventure later.
These two self-possessed young mer
hive. spent several years in Gunnisor
! icounty. at Pitkin and Ohio City, where
they engaged in mining. Their par.
ent now reside in Gunnison, coming a
immigrants from Sweden . number OF
years ago. the boys were early train
ed from sheer necessity to make
their own way and to paddle their
own canoe" which perhaps accounts
for the able way in which they have
coped with unusual situations, when
nerve and resourcefulness was the
quality that made them victorious.

Cowan Writes OF
the Legislature
Continued from Page one)

CONTINUED from Page Onel
Last week the same resolution ap-
peAred before the senate and the
Republicans there slashed il all to
pieces, cut out the governor and left
It in . hopeless condition. House Re-
publicans held caucus and agreed to
follow the senate lead, but when the
matter came up yesterday, the Repub-
licans held another caucus and chang
ed their mind. By this action they
left the senate in hole
What was the cause for the sudden
switch in the house, is not known. 1t
is certain that the resolution had
merit and the hundreds of kilograms
pouring into the Republicans may have
had some bearing on the situation.
The bill changing the name of the
Gunison Normal School to the "West-
em State College of Colorado" has
now gone to the senate after being
passed in the house of representatives.
Many members feared that this would
cause additional expense to the state,
but after ! had explained the bill to
them in detail, there was no opposi-
tion when it came up on final reading.
The administration code bill as
proposed by Governor Sweet, is still
causing much comment. Governor
Sweet made trip TO Lincoln, Neb
on Saturday and Sunday, and discuss
ed the bill with Governor Chas. Bryan.
Governor Bryan is seeking to have
the code system Of government re-
pealed in Nebraska. He favors q
commission form of government
rather than the governor or mayor
form, as the administration code
provides. ! talked with the governor
and he said that he was more than
ever convinced that it was the proper
principle for running the state govern.
ment after the Nebraska trip.
He explained the opposition in
Nebraska as due to tho fact that the
system had been . political football
and had never been tried on it's merits
The bill creating the office Of state
market director was passed by the
house on second reading Tuesday. This
office is made necessary IL the CO.
operative marketing measure passes
There is not much doubt but what
the cooperative marketing bill will be
passed. Both Republicans and Demo
Gratis were elected in platform pledg-
and from the success in Californis
and other states, it looks as tho the
cooperative marketing would greatly
help the farmer in his struggle for
existence.
Denver had q couple Of snow storms
recently, and one night the thermome-
ter dropped to eight degrees below
zero. This was thot to be q terrible
cold spell but didn't seem to mind 1t
much. It has been q beautiful winter
