Drastic Prohibition

The consumption Of wine reached
such a high point about thousand
years before the Christian era that
Lycurgus, king Of Thrace, passed a
prohibition act, the thoroughness OF
which cannot be questioned. A strict
abstainer himself, he forbade the use
of wine to his subjects, and rooted
up all the vines within his dominion

Where Solons Are "Docked"

In Australia, where members of
parliament receive about $1,000 a
year, the members are fined or
"docked" for absences during ses-
sion. This system differs from that
in effect in the mother country. Eng
land. or in America, where member
may take a day nr so off every now
and then TO attend to his private af-
fairs without worrying about it. In
England the salary of member Of
parliament is only about $1,000 a
year.

Symbol of Mother Love

In plucking the down from her
breast to make soft, warm lining
for her young, the mother pelican
sometimes draws a drop or two of
blood in tugging at some recalcitrant
feather. This fact has been respon-
sible for the pelican's being accepted
as the symbol of self-sacrifcing moth
er love.-From the Mentor.

VANITIES OF WOMEN

Why fuss at the happer? 1t is prov
en- by excavators as
far back as 5000 B. c. that feminine
modes of adornment included orna-
mented coiffures, beaded lashes, roug-
ed cheeks, manicured hands, while
jewelled hair pins, ear rings, brace
lets and finger rings and even vanity
cases were used then in even greater
lavishness than now.

OUR FIRST THANKSGIVING


Speaking of Georgia in particular
do we remember that the first Thanks
giving day was proclaimed by Gen
era1 Oglethorpe on July %, 1742,
from his official headquarters on st.
Simon's Island and it was celebrated
by all the American colonies in real
thanksgiving for what was called the
Thermopylae of American Provinces
the defeat by Oglethorpes 900 men of
5000 Spanish soldiers seeking their
complete annihilation? Little wonder
Oglethorpe should have said: mot our
strength or might has saved us. Our
salvation is of the Lord. Therefore it
is highly becoming to us to render
thanks to God, our deliverer."

IN SCOTLAND, A SCOT

The King of England, when taking
his annual holiday visit in Scotland,
dresses in the kilt for hunting and for
dinner in the full dress of the Scot
fish chieftain. A piper plays under his
window at 8 o'clock in the morning
and when the king and his queen and
guests are seated for dinner, groups
of pipers enter the dining hall and
march several times about the room,
PLAYING as they go.

LARGE ENTERPRISES

The reports at the recent session of
the national body of the U. D. c. in
Savannah revealed what a large work
the society is doing in education. The
income from $4,000 worth of Liberty
bonds goes to various scholarships at
Harvard, Vassar, Goucher and other
large colleges, also a gift scholarship
at Washington and Lee, and hero
school fund of $4,000 supports many
other students There are also loan
scholarships, fellowship at Peabody
and other smaller gift scholarships.
Strangely enough large legacy was
left the society by union soldier, who
wished to honor the names of Jeffer-
son Davis, Robert F. Lee, Juba1 Early
and John B. Gordon, and SO these are
commemorated by scholarships out of
that fund, known as the Hector w.

RADICALISM

A new form of radicalism is that
which showed itself in the refusal of
the Y. w. c. A. to join in the observ-
ance of Education Week, and because
of a sort of high and holy idealism
that blinds them to the ends they real
ly serve. The objection was made that
Education Week seems intended to
destroy world peace and prevent in
ternational cooperation. Of course, the
topics Constitution Day, Patriotic
Day and God and Country Day might
be wrongly construed but the slogans
were plain enough, Ballots not bull
let's" Master the English Language
Liberty, the Opportunity to do Right"
"The Commingled Race Called Amer
leans" also Religion, Morality and
Education are Necessary for Good
Government" "A Cody Nation Can
Not Fail" One objection was that
the American Legion was invited to
cooperate. This is 'straining at a gnat
and swallowing camel" The sugges-
ton given in the pamphlets read;
American Legion-Give demonstra
tons of the care of the Flag and in
struct the citizens and school children
in its history, its meaning and our
| duties toward it." The Y. w. c. A.
should cough this up, if they can, in
the name of Americanism or ever pa
cificism

How wildly is illustrated this
Shakespearian epigram, as one sees the
curtain rung down again and again

the Harding administration period.
Passing off the scene of action have
been a president, an ex-president, the
son of a president, cabinet officer,
the wife of a cabinet officer, the wife

REVOLUTIONARY HERO
President Coolidge's great grand

WAR MAKES AND BREAKS -
Frank Brown, blacksmith in a
Michigan town, with less than four
months school education, went into
war service seven years ago. The

wounded veteran on his return he GOV

included not only the elementary and

A demand for CONSUMPTION of wealth
