FOR NEGRO HEALTH

The campaign for negro health week
which is nation wide this week re-
minds us of Atlanta's distinction last
year in receiving the cup offered by
the National negro Business League
for the most effective work in that
line. Atlanta always makes her state
proud of her.

The Michigan Supreme Court did well to up-
hold the right of the State Normal School to ex
pei one of its girl pupils for smoking cigarettes.
Unless we watch ourselves some high school girl
will battle for her right to carry a flask on the

OUR TAX BILLS

Boiled down from the large mass of
figures usually presented in discussing
our war obligations the chairman OF
the house appropriation is the author
ity for the following estimates:
about one out of three dollars
paid by the American citizen goes to
the settlement of the war bill. We
should be able to pay it all in twenty
five years except for the bonus which
would naturally increase the bill and
the time required The Federal gov
eminent is being run more economi-
cally today than in 1918 allowing the
difference in the value of the dollar,
then and now"
Federal expenses are being pared
to the bone but city and state expendi-
lures have increased enormously and
the tax payer thinks that his griev-
ance is against extravaganza at Wash
ington. which is not true"

CIPHER DISCOVERER GONE

CIPHER DISCOVERER GONE
Students of English of twenty five
to thirty years ago recall how much
attention was attracted to the Shake
spare CT Bacon controversy. Orville
Ward Owen just deceased was the
man who announced his discovery of
cipher that revealed Francis Bacon
to De the real author of the PLAYS and
ether writings attributed to Shakes
pcare and ether Fl 81 sh writer's in
Guiding Spenser, NARROW, Sidney and
others. His writings and lectures re-
ceived respectful consideration, still
the histories and text books in Eng
lish have only mentioned his belief as
theory. DR.. Owen has suffered from
paralysis for six years and his death
occurred on Monday in Detroit.
A CASE OF LIFE OR DEATH
The Superior Court will be called
upon to decide the fate of trees along
the streets in the little town of Rey-
nolds, Ga. There has occurred such
difference of opinion between the civ
&c authorities and number of citizens
that an injunction and a court deci-
sion is the only recourse left for
settlement. 1t is doubtless the purpose
of the authorities to replant with an
idea of uniformity or utility, but the
loss of present shade or beauty is of
greater Importance to the property
owner.

FESTIVALS OF BLOSSOMS

= - 4 L v - l@O VI lOLODoC Nl .
The Cherry Blossom Festival in
Japan, the Festival of Roses in Cal
ifornia the March Blossom Festival
of the Santa Clara Valley with its
100000 prune and apricot trees in
full bloom, all have a peer worthy of
notice in the Peach Blossom Festival
OF Fort Valley. In one particular the
last is most commendable, as Fort
Valley is such a little town, and its
public spirit must be SO great to put
over an entertainment of such magni-
tude with so little financial return.
Providing barbecue for $4,000 visi-
tors and a pageant that cost many
thousand dollars, their grand stand re-
ceipts could not cover the outlay Let
us hope the report that this will be
the last year of Fort Valleys ce1ebra-
ton is like that OF the Prima Donna
on farewell tour, who continues to re-
turn.

JAY WALKERS IN THE AIR
1t is something quite uncalculated
that in airplane speeding there should
be found travellers in the air to con-
test the right of way. Such was the
case in test flight made from Buffalo
to Mitchell Field, N. Y. when a flock
of Canadian geese, estimated to be
500 in number suddenly broke from
their "V" into a circular formation in
the path of the speeding plane and
only quick work with the controls
avoided damage to the propeller and
serious consequences to machine and
aviator. This record flight it should
be stated covered the distance of 318
miles in 2 hours and Il minutes as
compared to ten hours by train.
