BALLYHOO

Il. G. Wells, defeated for Pariia-
mcnt, looks back and declares he'll
never again run for office. Says
Wells: q find that man cannot
retain his freedom Of mind as a
candidate. There are so many di-
vergent views among voters that a
man cannot speak his mind frankly
and expect to gain votes. He must
trim his sails to certain breezes.'
This is a common theory among
most politicians, though some OF
them may obey it subconsciously--
without realizing. But how many on
them ever gave the theory fair
test by being 100 per cent frank 10

ARRESTED

A fur dealer in New York City
bought a live raccoon for $15 and
displayed it II his shop window to
attract attention. The raccoon
knocked over its saucer of milk and
got its feet wet.
This aroused the ire Of { woman
passing by. She had the furrier az
rested for cruelty on animals. lie
was released on $500 bail A sensl-
bic judge now tells him to go his
way without penalty, and asks if thc
Humane Society wants the raccoon
kept at the Waldorf.
This incident is one Of many, in
dicating that we are steadily APP
preaching the time when every ac-
ton will be regulated by law. Ely
contrast, liquor prohibition may
prove a tame form Of regulation.

WEEK.

When we speak of a straight
spine, we do not use the word
straight" in the same sense in
which We apply it to stick. The
"straiEht' spine is one that gives
the body an erect carriage. There
are certain normal curves in the
perfect human spine which are
incidental to the vertical position
assumed by man, and which are
also valuable as means of re-
liavin~ the head from the jar, or
shock. which would otherwise be
experienced in walking, running,
or Jumping In, other words, the
slight curves of q healthy spine
help to give it spring.
The human backbone consists of
a series of twenty-four peculiarly
constructed bCny structures ar
ranged in a column in such way
as to provide q canal for the spinal
cord These twenty-four bones, or
vertebrate, are separated from each
other by a series of plates or rings
Of elastic and compressible mater
ial known as cartilage.
1t is the presence Of these elast-
ic plates of cartilage between the
Vertebrate which gives the back
bone as whole its fieXibility,
Each OF the vcrtebrae is pierced
With an opening through which
the spinal cord passes. Branching
off from the cord is q series of
so-cal!od spinal nerves, each con-
sistiug Of a bundle of nerve fibers.
The spinal nerves emerge from the
cord through small openings pro-
Nlded between the vertebrate.
Il will be seen that if these YER
tcurae are misplaced, or out of
limo, these openings may be more
or loss closed up, and so the
spinal nerves may be pinched and
their capacity for carrying inn
pulses or impressions impaired. In
the Same way, if tho cartilage
cushions between the vertebrate be-
come aattcned or hardened. a mar
rowing of the openings through
which the spinal nerves emerge
mast occur. and at the Same time
the feasibility of the spine will be
impaired This necessarily means
impaired functioning, poor health
and a rapid development of those
bodily conditions which we find in
extreme age. Another factor in
the maintenance OF a normal and
beautiful spine is the condition OF
the muscles and ligaments along
the course of the backbone and
Of the back generally,i If these
Iigaments are relaxed and stretch

A SOUND DOCTRINE

That demonstration agent who
said 81 have a great desire to see
at least one pink crepe myrtle
and one pecan tree growing at
every home, and at every farm in
the county was preaching a
good doctrine. Even a few well
chosen flowers mean much to
any home, and it is always pos
sible to have them. The pecan
tree will pay for itself and the
flower garden will add to the
beauty and pleasure Of the home

Of the South Georgia counties is

Hollywood

The theater-going public is
not only demanding clean plays
and clean pictm es, it also refuses
TO patronize the picture or the
play in which the actors are
known to live unclean lives
There was a time when the &C
tor and actress could live just
any kind Of life, and get away
with it Not 50 today, and that
is as it should be
In the past few days another

that quickly and with the utmost
vigor. The few that are damag-
ng the reputation Of the movie
profession should be banished,
completely divorced from the in
dustTy either as actor, director
or janitor. This will clean up
Hollywood.
The temptations there are
many and severe. Young men
and women who have never
earned more than few dollars
= week, jump into prominence
in a few months and the money
begins to roll in. Extravaganza
and wild living follow.
Possibly the producers are
partly to blame for the enor-
nous salaries they are paying
.hese young men and women.

One does not have to be a
fanatic to experience a kind of
nauseous disgust at the repeated

unconventional revelry, to put it
mildly, which draw attention to

there was ever a time when Will
Hays could do something to earn
the enormous salary he is suppos-
ed to receive as movie car, it is
now. He is on his way to the
motion picture capital, with his
chin OUT as he expressed it.
Maybe the producers are
learning valuable lessons which
will give US not only clean plays
but clean actresses and actors.
1t is certain they will if the pub
lie makes its desires known
