SOCIETY MEETING

Literary society of Phillips High school
held It's regular meeting Friday after
noon at 2:15 O'Clock. The program
prepared for this occasion was based
on the lengends Of CzechosIoyakia, the
three selections being The Shepherd

Three Doves, by Caroline Cooper, and
The Twin Brothers, BY Martha AL

Of romance and delicately implied emo

the subtle thrill and charm of this sort
Of coquetry would not be felt BY many
Of the young people Of today.
Ia Spain. the language Of the fan Is
still a factor in anys young girls social
life, but with US that language, as well
as the language of the parasol, is for-
gotten and scorned thing, Yet most Of
as, as gather from THE many letters
receive, are still wondering and wor-
rying as, much about our charm, per-
sonai appearance and attraction as
ever before. This being the case, why
have we discarded SO ruthlessly the very
easy and quaint little tricks Of the WON.
en- Of past generations We pay much
attention to lights in our rooms, to the
colors OF the clothes that we wear s
why should we scorn the idea Of carry
ing a parasol when walking In the eIar-|
ing and very trying sunlight? 1T il
surely an added charm and an asset "a
appearance which we are
quite within our rights to take adj
vantage of.

TWO BILLS OF SENATOR
HARRIS MAKE PROGRESS

ATLANTA, Ga, Two bills of U.
S. Senator w. J. Harris of Georgia d.
rectly touching the farmers have made
progress in Congress according to
news received from Washington. His
bill to insure better cotton statistics
and reduce the possibility of gamblers
depressing the market has passed the
House and Senate and is now at the
White House, awaiting the approval
of the president
The Harris bill providing for exper-
mental service on rural routes in car
rying agricultural products, such as
vegetables, butter and eggs, on the
route at reduced rates, has passed the
senate and is pending in the House.
Representative Bell of Georgia rank
ing Democrat on the House Post Of
flee Committee, is pressing for early
action. Senator Harris believes the
experiments will show improved mar
keting facilities on small lots from the
the farm to town, which will help the
producer and the consumer both.

BALLOON TIRES
TO HELP ROADS

The balloon tire is as yet too new to
tell its own story, but some of the
reasons urged against it by its OPP
ponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps by the I'M
doubted fact that the pneumatic tire
caused great destruction to- the then
common type of hard road, the water
bound macadam, conservatives now
state that the balloon tire with its
greatly increased size of wearing sur
face, will cause damage to roads of
other than cement or brick surface.
This is not borne out by facts al
ready recorded of other wide tire
bearing surfaces. Heavy trucks,
equipped with double wheels and flat,
solid tires, do no damage to the sur
face of the highways they use, wheth-
er that surface be oil-treated or tar
impregnated stone, sand-clay, shell
concrete, brick or cement. Road dam
age done by such vehicles is from
blows or pressure and not from sur
face wear. 1t is, with the modern
road, almost always the weight or the
blow which damages the road and sell
dom or never the abrasion of the sur
face.
According to this, the balloon tire
should preserve rather than injure
roads, since its lessened air pressure
increases the elasticity of the cushion
between the road and the weight and
therefore decreases the force of any

EDITORIAL

"The Nation, indeed has no business
helping States build roads; road build
ing is for the state and the county"
The sentence is quoted fnom con-
temporary. We should perhaps, be
journalistically polite and say ''es-
teemed contemporary, only we can
not esteem any paper which states as
an. axiom concept not proved or of
common knowledge.
Why has the nation mo business
helping states?" Why is road building
"for the state and county" Who
ordained that the National Govern
ment, which is all of US, should not
help several groups of us, which are
the States, to solve their problems?
Who made the law that the Nation
shouldn't build its own roads?
There is much question in many
minds as to the ACCESSIBILITY of Federal
aid for road building; whether the
policy of the Nation aiding the states
to build roads will work, in the long
run, to any better advantage than that
of the states aiding the counties to
build roads, is yet to be demonstrated
But we can see no reason for saying
the nation "has no business" to do
so, if it is its best judgment that it
should.
AS for road building being properly
State or county function, the gov
eminent has already made rail and
water transportation a matter of ma
tional concern. The Nation, not the
States, subsidized the first transcon-
tinental railroads, to get them built.
The nation, not the States, improves
our waterways. The Nation, not the
States, built the Panama Canal The
great beauty spots of the continent
are national, not state parks. Rail
roads, waterways, Panama Canal
parks, are for the Nation, built by
or with the assistance of the Nation
Transportation and some of its OBJ
jectives are national concerns. Why
eliminate roads from the list?
That this Nation will eventually
build national system of nationa
highways is as inevitable as was the
canal. 1t is merely question o.
when and how-with "where" moro
easily determined than either of the
others. But the when is not so hard
to answer: the United States o.
America will build, own, control and
forever maintain its basic trunk line
system of national highways, thus
bringing good roads everywhere
when and not until when, the people
of the United States demand it.
And if there is any truth in signs
that demand is now being made and
more and more strongly every year.

DAIRY STOCK SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga, March 20 The
growing interest in dairying in Geor-
gia, which livestock men here say is
already resulting in an improvement
OF dairy stock and in the adding of
dairy equipment on many farms, has
emphasized the necessity for suitable
and ample pasturage for the dairy
stock. Good pastures are necessity
if the cows are to be given the chance
they should have to produce rich milk
abundantly, according to officials of
the Georgia Department of Agricul-
ture.
The need for good pastures is urg-
ed by state agricultural department
officials in commenting on the in
creased interest in dairying.
Pasturage is feature of dairying
that should not be overlooked in the
opinion of experts of the state depart
ment of agriculture. Cattle that are
denied good grazing ground are for
ced to nibble on such grass as they
can find, agricultural department Of
ticials say, cannot be expected to pay
their way as we'll as cows that are
grazed in fields where the grass is
suitable and plentiful where there is
good place for them to stand under.
1t is as necessary that dairy cows
should have good pasturage as it is
that they should have suitable shelter
from severe weather in the winter
time, department officials stated.

Why Lillian Felt She Must "Drce Her Own Weird"

That the old. old conflict between Lillian's heart and her Don Quixots of conscience" as Dicky dubs her supersense of justice, was being wnged sayagely l did not need extraordi- nary divination to know.
 Her mask was down before me, and the face bent toward Robert Savarin's letter was twisted with un- happiness. She had not yet read it. but that 1t contained an eloquent ap- peal l was sure-an appeal that she would find hard to reject.
 Her shadowed face made me for get the rancor l had felt toward Robert Savarin for his unexpected attitude toward Lillian's govern ment work--an attitude which I sus- pected had beer responsible for the apparent arrangement between them and turned my wrath toward Harry Underwood, guarding the girl. Mamie, in the living room, and await ing the result of our conference.
 Why, asked myself angrily, hav- ing once gone out of Lillian's life, could he not have remained out of it, instead of turning up at this in opportune moment to give her ten- der heart and sensitive conscience q chance 10 question their responsi- bilties for his deeds?
 With feminine inconsistency, my anger waxed hotter with the remem- brance that it was utterly unrea- sonable. Harry Underwood had not sought Lillian out It was to provide me-snd my errand-with safe con duct to New York that he left 10 their own dangerous devices the unruly and treacherous men comprising the gang of bootleggers of which he, to all ap- pearances, was the leader.
 But where Lillian's happiness is concerned I cannot be fair, any more than I can find more than lip jus tice for anyone who. innocently or otherwise, causes unhappiness to Dicky or Junior, and I rashly put my choler into words.
 Responsible for him." I echoed her words, scornfully stressing the pronoun. Responsible for Harry Underwood! Really, Lillian, I don't want to think I've been mistaken in my estimate of your mentality all these years. I always have given you credit for a level head crammed full of common sense, but a speech like that"
 Makes you think it's knobby and filled with mush instead?" she in- terrupted with a wan little smile. T cant blame you for your strictures, Madge. for I probably would say the same thing to you, were our problems reversed. And don't mistake me. I am not so foolish as to blame myself
