Prof. George Herbert Palmer Of Har
ward says that the masculine habit ol
rigid, logical reasoning is contracted
very early, and in illustration he tells
the following story: "A little boy and
girl of my acquaintance were tucked
up snug in bed when their mother
heard them talking. 4 wonder what
we're here forY asked the little boy.
The little girl remembered the lessons
that had been taught her, and replied
sweetly, we are here to help others.
The little boy shifted. Then, what ara
the others here for?"

Children May
Carry On

A new plan to raise the requisite
fund for the completion of the great
Stone Mountain Memorial is to en-
roll all the children of the Confeder-
acy, not the membership alone of any
existing association but any child un-
der the age of sixteen, who has con-
federate ancestors Eince this jtotal
number is upwards of 100000, if a
dollar could be subscribed from each
eligible or that amuont averaged thru
all, it would be a simple matter to
carry on the work to uninterrupted
completion, tho the finishing of the
first large group already begun with
Lee at its center will take about three
years of steady work. The rapiditv
with which the bust of Lee was done
in order to unveil it on his birthday
was achieved only by extraordinary eff
fort of the sculptor Borglum, and his
workers, busy day and night in large
shifts. Succeeding work will not be
carried on with such feverish haste.

HELL MARIA" DAWES IN EUROPE

Charles G. Dawes, whose picturesque profanity
recently gave him national reputation, is max
ing it apparent that he is the right in the
right place on that commission to investigate the
financial status of Germany. On reaching Paris,
Hell Maria" had very forcible things to
say. He declared that practical men free from
political pressure going to seek to reestab-
lish German productivity, which he asserted,
would prove the starting point of European pros
perity.
General Dawes is man after the hearts of those
who desire to get things done. Being guided by
common sense and with politics barred there is
every reason that notable results will be achieved

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

FNOIEOI The OF1ILDKEN = Every day in
every newspaper there stories of children run
over and hurt by automobiles. In many cases the
fault is with the motorists, but in many others
the accidents are found to have been inevitable
man driving a car along street can do moth
ing to avert an accident if child suddenly rushes
off the sidewalk and tries to cross the street in
front of him. That is the cause of MANY accidents.
Unfortunately, for many children the streets
are the only possible Fairgrounds, and it is diff
1cult-but not impossible-to keep them on the
sidewalks. Parents can do much to prevent acci-
dents by insisting their children keeping off
the pavement.

Prize for Peace
Pictures


Out of thousand pictures submit
ted to the League of Women Voters
IN a Peace Christmas Card competi-
ton last year. there are only 200 con-
sidered worthy of showing and some
of these are admittedly bad and many
only moderately good, which would
seem to indicate that artists have not
experienced sufficient degree of patri-
otic fervor to be inspired with the
thought of worldwide peace even as
a dream. The winning picture was not
painted for the contest but was one
that had been painted almost ten years
ago and on view in the painters studio
for several years past. 1t was a panel
done in oils, nude figure of woman
with dove IN her hand, happy
choice of birds, perhaps, winning the
artist the first prize of $500. The
second prize of 81 900 went to a de-
s'gn bearing the head of Lincoln and
quotation on war The real purpose
Of the contest largely failed, as it was
apparent that many artists seemed to
forget the object for which the COM
petition was inaugurated and failed to
follow out the thought of helping
world peace, and too many artists OF
conspicuous talent did not submit sany-
thing to show they thought the sub
icct worth while.
