MAKING PAPER FROM COTTON

Another Southern source of raw ma- terials for paper-making was recently pointed out by a correspondent of The Age-Herald. It is cotton and cotton linters, which are now being manufac- tured at Chattanooga into bond and book papers. Samples of this paper re- ceived at this office are obviously of very high grade and equally as good as the best rag paper of the same class. The use of cotton for this manufacture releases a certain demand upon wood pulp and provides means of disposing of surplus cotton in the future.
 To be sure, it is not expected that cotton will supplant rags in this field. But it is expected that cotton will sup plement rags, and that it will create a demand for the output. There is an an- nually growing use of paper of all kinds, and the entrance of cotton into compe- tition with other raw materials does not mean ruin to any such material, but rather a stimulus to the industry. Each new product of value makes place for itself in our economic system without causing the sacrifice of any other com modity of value. From the viewpoint of the cotton grower, each new use found for cotton is further insurance of the permanence of the industry, of the greater stability of the market and of the certainty of adequate demand to ab- sorb all production.

THE OLYMPIC CONTESTS

Repeated success of the Americans in taking honors in the Olympics is gratify- ing to patrons of athletics in this coun- try, even if it is the realization of their expectations. Americans have habit of winning in these international contests. On revival of the games in 1896 at Ath- ems the track and field contests were won by Americans. They repeated this in 1900 at Paris, and at St. Louis in 1904 when the games were brought to this side. Americans achieved notable success in 1908 at London, and likewise in 1912, while carrying off the big hon ors at Antwerp in 1920. Now they are leading at Paris.
 Europeans who were famed for ath- letic prowess before America was dis covered appear surprised that represen- tatives of the New World continue to surpass those of the Old World in so large a percentage of these events. While Britishers excel in the sprints, and Films dominate the field in endurance con- tests, Americans continue to lead in

NOW. NEW YORK, TAKE THAT!

Once there was a Southern woman residing in New York. She resided there for months without having more than a speaking ac- quaintance with the woman who resided next door. and the Southern woman wanted to be neighborly, so one morning, when the cook came in with plate of delicious hot biscuits, the Southern woman told her to take the biscuits over next door with her compliments
 The cook did so, but in few moments she returned with the biscuits and with an in dignant message from the woman next door.
 You just tell your mistress" said the woman, "that I am no beggar and that she does not need to feed my family from her table,"
 The story was related in the New York Times and was made the subject of an OpOlO- getic editorial. And the subject was dis cussed up and down the country. But some things are beyond the pale of discussion. Persons who can not distinguish between the aroma of sentiment in a plate of hot biscuits sent from one neighbor to another and charity cannot be reasoned with. It is a matter of raising" as we say in this part of the country. and we can no more discuss such topics than we can discuss social equality
 It is the hot biscuit hospitality that makes us all love our own town so dearly. It is far better than skyscrapers and subways. than hippodrOmes, "FOllies" and Peacock Alleys" And it is the same, whether the town be Cape Charles or Clifton Forge, or little old Newport News.-Newport News Times Herald.

LAFoLLETTE APPEALS TO LABOR

In sending out his appeals for the support of various groups of organized labor, it appears that MT. LaFollette has placed the most important thing last. He should have made sure of his support be- fore entering the lists. The success of third party depends altogether upon widespread and insistent disapproval of the two main parties. Such disapproval has not been manifest as a general but rather as a sporadic and indefinite symptom. The present appeal to labor bears all the marks of uneasiness on the part of MT. LaFollette and his immediate group. Support of third party must be spontaneous and irresistible if it is to gain sufficient momentum to overturn established party support.
 There is nothing definite that MT. La Toilette offers to labor which labor has not already within its grasp or which it will not obtain through present agen- cies and under present institutions. True progress in human relationships is not a process of revolution but of evolution. It is a process of growth and develop ment, which can be delayed or hastened, but which is not effective if it is de- stroyed, or replaced in accordance with the socialist idea. The soviet's rule in Russia and the consequent misery upon an entire people is warning to the citi- zens of this country not to wander after strange political gods.

Forum Of The People
Ohiects to Terms of Accident Story

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read an account in one of the daily papers of an automobile accident where one Mir. Rivers ran over a woman who was carrying her baby in her arms and it struck me that the account of this accident might have been couched in different terms. The writer owns no automobile and has never been in an accident, but he has frequently observed that when a thing like this occurs, everything conspires to prejudice the public mind.
 have known this young man Rivers for several years He is a hard-working sales man travelling for the Calumet Baking Pow der Company, who makes his living with his automobile! He has a wife and two young children who are dependent upon him for support In his business dealings with us he has always been truthful and conservative, and I do not believe that justice has been done him in the account of this accident The writer knows it to be true that Mir. Rivers and his family are as much concerned about the outcome of this accident as those who are more vitally interested.

The hand is quicker than the eye, but the hand is a laggard beside the moving picture camera. An English inventor has perfected one that will take thousand pictures in a single second. It is so fast that it is said to capture every detail of the shattering of a china plate, dropped upon a block of con crete, none of which are seen by the human eye.
 ,The principle involved is not new but the degree of speed attained is said to be many times greater than anything of the kind ever previously achieved.
 What will be the maSifold results of this invention cannot be guessed at any more than we should have guessed, when Marconi first succeeded in transmitting telegraphic messages without wires, that we should be listening nightly through the medium of ra- diO to sounds produced thousands of miles away.
 Wonderful things taking place daily before our very eyes of which we do not catch the slightest glimpse. These things may not be captured, so far as it is worth while to cap ture them, and reduced to a speed which it will be perfectly possible for the eye to com Dodge Messenger.

WHERE SERVICE COUNTED

Position has nothing to do with it. It IS service that counts. Our experience has been that the men who have come to the top have been the recipients of additional cOmpensa- tiOn. There have, however, been num- erous instances where workers in the shops have received large rewards in the share of the company's profits. Such a case was thnt of a colored worker in one of our mines. The cashier and he were entrusted with the carrying of the cOmpany's pay roll to one 0 fthe coal districts On their way, the wagon was attacked by highwaymen and the cashier shot dead. The money was being transferred when the cOlOred man in question pulled out his gun, shot at the first robber, who was instantly killed; then at the second, who later died of his wounds, and firing at the third who was afterward caught in a wounded condition and was subsequently, hanged. That colOred man had more than saved the com pany's money. He had staked his life. No body could have blamed him for running in an effort to save himself. But he didn't. It may have been foolhardy but it was splen- did. Today that cOlOred boy carries an en- graved gold watch of which he is prOuder than of his birthright. He carries other things besides He knows that he will never want for anything.-Elbert H. Gary in The Worlds Work.

Things That Fatigue
By Fl. ADDTNGTON BRUCE

You write me that when your days work is done you always feel uncommonly fatigued.
 You add that you cannot fairly attribute this to the character of your work or the length of your working-day.
 Moreover, you work under good conditions as regards light, ventilation and the like l; and your doctor has quite recently pronounced you free from bodily troubles that might cause you to fatigue readily.
 Naturally you are at loss to account for the fatigue you most assuredly do feel Have you given any thought to the possi- bility that it may be chiefly or wholly. of psychic origin?
 In new book that is little short of en- cyclopedic in its account of modern psy- chology's findings-H. W. Dresser's "Psy- chology, It's Theory and Application" is a passage which may be of real enlight- enment to you.
 There is a general tendency" Dr. Dresser notes, "to neglect the mental states accom- panying work.
 If a man worries about his work, during the hours of labor and afterwards, this worry activity is in itself work exhausts the ener- gies and affects the mind.
 Again, if out of accord with the sort of work he Is doing, the conditions under which work is done in his shop, office, or branch of industry, and the economic system which imposes conditions he believes to be wrong this antagonistic attitude involves psycho- physical work which is cumulative in propor- tion as his antagonism increases. .
 "If out of accord with his co-laborers and his foreman, a man will feel the effects of this opposition, or what he takes to be the opposition of others toward himself.
 Fear, as an exciting emotion, is work. So, too, are anger,- hatred, bitterness, jealousy. Work is required to take a stand against people and against things"
 With special reference to yourself, run once more through these various items. If all you say about your excellent physical con- dition is true, the likelihood is that some sort of discordant thinking is responsible for the excessive fatigue you feel.
 Are you sure that you are well adjusted to your work emotionally? Do you take a genuine interest in it. and do you work with quiet confidence as well as genuine interest?
 Are you free from enmities as regards not only your superior officials but your fellow workers? For that matter, is your general life-attitude a reasonable one, or is it embit- tered by self-pity and discontent?
 Are you, in a word, a willing worker or a reluctant one, cheerful worker or a com plaining worker?
 Questions such as these would advise you to put to yourself seriously. Certain it is that the psychic factors indicated by them often play determining, if unsuspected, part in causing needless and extreme fatigue.

ECONOMY OE REBABuITATTON

In New York City there is an institution for disabled men which has made a thorough study of the question of rehabilitating crip- pied workers. It has carried it's work to such a success that it is able to supply the following estimate based upon experience in handling some of the worst cases pronounced as hopeless by public institutions:
 From $35O to $500 will turn out a printer 1; from S25U to $4O0 will turn out a draftsman from $20O to $500 will turn out typewriter repairer: from $175 to $500 will turn out an oxy-aeetylene welder; from $50 to $275 will turn out a photograph retOucher; from Sl20 to S2JO will turn out a jewelry maker; from $1G0 to S2OO will turn out motion picture prOIectlonist; from S25 to S75 will turn out a telephone operator; from $S5 to $1OO will purchase an artificial limb.
 By these averages we see that disabled man can be turned into a producer for far less than would keep him a year in the ward of a public hospital or institution where he would be labeled as hopeless" The amount of taxes now going toward caring for this army of disabled would establish c training center in or near every city in the United States. The S3.500,0O0 thrown away yearly in New York City as aims to beggars and peddlers would educate about 14,OOO men year in any one of the above vocations.- Theodore Marcione in Brooklyn Eagle.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

Last time saw Stone Welsh he was, to put it mildly, among the undesirables. He still had the remnants of good clothes and a little money, but no one wanted him. 'I don't mind a bankrupt" said Doc Hen neberry, "but when the bankruptcy is of character, that's something else"
 That is precisely what Stone Welshs fail ure seemed to be. He had been successful for some years. Then he got mixed up with various people who might almost have been called genteel confidence men. They special. ized in promotions. The schemes were al- ways all right, but funny things happened to them.
 "And drank too much," said Welsh, can didly.
 He had slipped morally. When the last scheme failed, Stone Welsh dropped out of sight Now he is on top of the wave again, in a sound, safe business, and is a respected citizen.
 He came to with a jerk when he disco cred that people will forgive up to a certain point, but that when that point is over passed one's personal public becomes unre- lenting. He set about rebuilding himself morally. Any one who has ever gone through that process knows that it is long as we'll as a difficult job But he began at the beginning and worked his way up.
 q started out to be truthful, honest and diligent," said he. If you do not believe that is a hard trio to follow-after you have been a liar and thief and lazy--try it."
 He may never have the fortune that he once may have dreamed of winning by easy means. But nowadays all his friends are happy that they have Stone Welsh for a friaud
