LUCY STONE LEAGUE
"RAZZES" A. B. SEE
FOR HIS CRITICISM
"Mossback, Sorehead, Dis

of Words They Use.

New York, April 4.-Members Of
the Luck Stone League fine-combed
the dictionary yesterday in search Of
terms to properly express their dis

suffrage, addressed to their organiza-
ton Wednesday by A. B. See. veteran
maker of elevators and seasoned critic
of the modern young woman.
The league, an organization whose
members believe in the retention OF
their maiden names after marriage,
met at luncheon TO discuss Mr.. Sees
letter.
"Mossback. on the defensive" "rav-
ing" "laughable." ridiculous" "sorc-
head" "vile tempered and "disap-
pointed Crouch" were just few OF
the terms used by the league MEM
bers in detailing their opinions of their
caustic critic.
One woman took up the issue of
makeup.
Mr.. See should enter my beauty
parlor and see who it is gets the mud
packs men. Why the women who
come in for treatments are confronted
with row of Adams apples that send
'em scurrying out again J"
The luncheon ended with the adop'
ton of resolution that Mr.. See be
voted a back number.
"A joke and pastime." were thu
words Mr.. See last night used tt
characterize the letter.
Anybody could tell from the easy
and flowing style of the letter" Mr.

A NIP BEFORE rArlMc

Or. H. H. Drysdale, Of Cleve-
land, in an address before the
American Medical Association,
reprehended the use CT alcoholic
stlmulants before a meal. He said:
The 'frenzied finance habit
winch Will not allow a patient TO
relax and forget his responsibility
when necessary, can be blamed
Tor many serious illnesses and
fatalities. The national sin is
oyereating, especially meat. A.
cohoL taken before meals, is one
OF the causes of overeating. The
advent Of prohibition, with the at
tendant disappearance of the
chronic alcoholic, will do much to
lower the death rate from
arteriosclerosis."- Atlanta Geor-

Vacations

1t is a wise man who knows
when to stop work" says Rev.
James Anderson of Syracuse.
It is a wiser man who stops
upon knowing when. The coun-
try is full Of men who are tagged
out by the daily grind, who
know it, and yet, with one ex-
cuse or another, don stop.
They can't afford it, they
think, and yet a good rest is a
money-making enterprise, in the
long run.
Or, the old shop or office
wouldn't get along, if they laid
off; and so, the rising young
lieutenants in the business get
no chance to show the man
agerial stuff that's in them, and,
because they haven't been test
ed or given a chance at expert
ence, the business does break
down when death or disease
or disease compels the old
man s vacation.
The business that is depend
ent solely upon No. |, day after
day, is in a shaky condition, in
these times, and the best way
to teach No. 2 how to swim is
to take him by the hind leg and
throw him into seven or eight
feet of water; that is, get out and
give him a chance to show what
is in him.
A good vacation is medicine
and a profitable business enter
prise, and every fellow whose
nose is on the grindstone of
hard work is entitled to it.
This sounds just like a doctor
coming in and saying You're
sick, and letting it go at that,
with no attempt at relief. So
we'll add prescription.
Take fish rod, or a put-stick,
or the old Lizzie" and go way
off somewhere where kilograms,
letters and other worldly affairs
can't get at you.
The grindstone will go round
and round as usual and some
bright young lieutenant will be
sharpening his wits on it, for the
good of the business.

Two statements in the sermon

should be corrected.
while the reverend speakers
statements regarding Inc belief OF
Catholics in respect to forgiveness
of sin, mediation, infalhbility and
such doctrines are both made
ouate and inaccurate, they may b.
passed over; if Catholics are sat
isfied with their beliefs in these
matters, non-Catholics should be
satisfied without them.
The two statements which call
for correction affect the rela-
lions of Catholics toward their
fellow-citizcn who are not Cath
olics. They are as follows: "The
Catholic believe IN Union of
Church and State whore the Pope
shall exercise authority ever civil
matters. The Catholis believe
that public school system should
be abolished"
"Neither of these statements is
true. AS to the first the true
position of Catholics is based on
the words Of Pope Leo XIII in his
Encyclical on the Constitution Of
Christian states as follows:
Almighty God has appointed
the charge of the human race

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR
MOTORISTS

a New Hampshire Highway
publication has prepared what it
calls "The Ten Commandments
for Motorists" If all motorists
would observe these Command
ments" there would be a great re-
duction in the number of acct
dents on the highways. Here they
are:
Drive on the right side of
the road; it's just as good as the
left.
2.-Slow down when approach
ing a cross road; it is nearly as
dangerous as a railroad crossing.
3.-Look out for children. You
can never tell what they win do,
and you are always in the wrong
if you hit one.
4.-Try to help instead of him
dering the traffic officer; he's
there for your good and he's got
a tough job.
Be sure that your lights
are not defective or glaring; it's
no joke driving into a binding
glare, as you yourself know.
6.-Read and obey the warm
ing signs; they are not put up as
ornaments.
IF you've got to speed-do
it where you won't kill anybody
but yourself.
8.-When making minor re-
pairs get all wheels off The pave
ment and stop where your car can
be seen from both directions;
otherwise you may stop longer
than you anticipated.
9.-Speeding around corners is
straight route to the hospital.
Don't race past a stopped car.
Some day the jury will call it
manslaughter.
10.-Use discretion. The fact
that you had the right Of way
won't bring anybody back to life,
least of all, yourself. Every driver
of a motor car knows that he
should follow some such rules as
these, but not every one does it.
Drivers should never depend on
the other fellow to observe these
or any other rules, but should be
certain that he, himself observes
them.
For instance, it makes no diff
ference if you have the right OF
way if the other driver does not
pay attention to your rights, it is
better to let him go
ahead of you than it is
to try to force him II let you pass
first, because the chances are that
in nine cases out Of ten there will
be a smash-up, and you may get

A new hat will do more than any

Vanity is not the explanation.

Man vs.. Insects

Grasshoppers have been so
thick in Texas this summer the
people have had to fight them
with arsenic by the trainload.
In South Africa the govern
ment has just appropriated ST.
500, 600 to fight plague of To-
Gusts, the worst on record. In
one district near the Orange riv-
er, a single swarm of Iocusts
extending in an unbroken mass
$50 miles in length is reported
to have devoured every bit of
green vegetation.
The peculiar weather of the
last few years has been very fa-
vorable to insects of all kinds.
Army worms have been destroy
ing crops in the Middle West.
Grasshopper plaques. Further
progress by the boil weevil. So
on, insect enemies, countless bill
lions of them, driving farmers
nearly frantic.
Reputable scientists frequent
ly point out that battle is on,
between men and insects, for
supremacy on earth. Some even
believe that the insects will win.
1t wouldn't take many insect
victories, on the scale of the raw
ages of the boil weevil which is
ravaging the American cotton
growing industry, to bring men
close to starvation. If the corn
borer, for instance, gets as far
beyond control as the boil wee
vii, it would eventually be a
greater national loss than the
money Uncle Sam spent in the
World War.
Fortunately, man wins in the
long run. Take the disease-car-
rying mosquito. 1t has not been
vanquished, but it has been driv-
en- back-curbed.
Everything in nature has its
destroyer and is, in turn, de-
stroyer itself. Man kills the in
sect. The insect kills man, by
conveying disease, and destroys
his crops.
Falling water destroys the
mountain gradually by washing
it away. The mountain destroys
the valley, slowly filling it.
Grasshoppers eat the crops.
Chickens eat the grasshoppers.
Man eats the chickens.
Destruction balances or equals
construction. The destroying
and constructing are the mani
festations of the activity known
as life. Nothing is permanent in
our existence Of three dimen-
sions. Life is an experience, a
journey, succession of changes.
1t would, after all, be a dull
life if We didn't have these
changes-including insects to
battle. Wee win against the
insects easily if we were as unit
ed and active against them as
when we destroy each other in
war.

THE SOURCE OF ALL WEALTH

Judging from appearances the
farmers of Middle Georgia are
not wasting any time waiting for
the state legislature or congress
