Occasionally we listen to the har- mony of the press agents Tyre and enjoy it. Most of the time we reach for the black and blue -- the black crepe with which to ado-n his re- marks and the blue pencil to sign his death warrant.
 But up from the bubbling South, from the office of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, comes screed which intrigues our interest, even if no attempt is made to cam- ouflage it as news" instead of what it is, propaganda. It concerns the cottonseed products industry and the strides it is making in racing the old reliable pig for supremacy. For the purpose of this screed is to prove that cottonseed oil is more de- sirable than lard for cooking. We shall not attempt to contradict the assertion nor to defend the pig.
 Take it from the Atlanta Cham Der of Commerce, last year cotton seed products had value of s275,- O0O, ,000, which, we should say, is a respectable sum, one to which we would tip our hat if we wet 1t on the street. More than one and one- half billion pounds of cottonseed oil are produced annually in the South. If the pig ever reads this he will suuel with envy. And all this al- most overnight. A few years ago cottonseed couldn't be given away. Cotton raisers didn't know what to do with it. Next to the boil weevil, ! it was their greatest problem. It was so plentiful that it was dumped into the rivers and it was necessary in some cotton raising states to en- act legislation governing the dis posal of this waste. Then it was discovered that cottonseed would produce a very acceptable oil for cooking purposes, and the situation changed. The statutes regarding the disposal Of the waste" became in operative because out of the waste" was squeezed a solder stream of gold in the form of oil
 Now the South ships 100000 bar re1s of cottonsecd oil annually tt ports on the Mediterranean, thu Atlanta chamber says. We don know how much of this returns dis guised as olive oil, but that's a catt! thought anyway and not deserving of finding its way into print. Tho cottonseed oil industry has com' into its own and take it from th' southcrner, whether he has Col be fore his name or not the pig | doomed.

NOISY CHARACTERISTICS
 OF JOURNALISM

Old-timc newspaper mon will re- member the gladsome days when a newspaper office was as quiet as . Tut's tomb before Mr, Carter To- cated it. Those were the innocuous days when the most devastating | tool of the profession was trusty l lead pencil and the noisiest thing in an editorial room was the splash of the editors nicotine into or near the venerable cuSpidor near the gcntIcman's "thronc," or desk,
 Pencils gliding over unoffcnding paper provided no raucous insults for sensitive ear drums; reporters shuffling in from the street could actually think about what they were writing without upsettng their precious trend of thought by fuss ing with q mechanical contrivance which nowadays is int"rV"nod be- tween their imagination and the copy paper.

twill some bright pupil tell me something about Abraham Lineoln: asked the teacher
 The class was silent until one bright pupil jumped up and re- piled: T know, teacher. He's tho man they talk about when some ones running for president"
 This incident may never have oc- cured but 1t serves to show just how much thought the people at large give to the Great Enancipa- tor.
 It is almost true that Lincoln is the man politicians hold up as an example of righteousness before elections - and then drop like a hot poker. He is the handiest wea- pon the republican party has. He is quoted from one end of the coun- try to the other when a presiden- tial campaign is under way, but after the votes are counted Lincoln is put back in his sarcophagus for four years and his quotations, us well as his precepts, are forgotten. If Abraham Lincoln was as great a man as historians say he was he deserves greater recognition on the anniversary of his birth than is &C., corded him. One might turn the pages of history to their very end and find no greater citizen of the world than the President whom an assassin's bullet brought down in Ford's theater. He was one Of the truly elect of mankind, a man Of destiny set aside by the hand of the Almighty, it seems, to stand at the helm of the ship of state In na- tional crisis. The strongest part of his nature was humility. Respect for his fellow men guided his every action. His heart throbbed in unison with the hearts of others laboring under the burdens of the world and he felt deeply for those who were afflicted. He was every inch a man.
 It seems that the country could afford to devote greater part of February 12 to honoring this illus trious mortal, who earned the love of his fellow citizens and the re- spect of other nations. It is true that an effort is made in the schools to implant in the minds of children the attributes which made Lincoln respected, Editorial writers also de- vote their talents to calling atten' ton to his deserved laurels. With these exceptions, little attention is paid to the anniversary of his birth Is it possible that great nation 1: going to allow one of its most il. lustrious men to go unhonorcd and unsung?

CHECKING ON HEAT
TOLL IMPOSSIBLE
No Agency Equipped to De-
termine Number of Deaths
. From ProstratiOnS.

While hot waves often carry pesti.
lence and tragedy in their path, no
such wave has yet reached the pro
portions of a national calamity, and.
therefore. there are no natIonai
agencies here in the Capital which are
equipped TO gather the vital statistics
OF the weather's scorching breath.
Thermometer, barometer and hu-
n1idity figures always are available at
the Weather Bureau. Ii is q perfect
institution of weather lore. and while
there may be occa sional fault to find
with forecast upset by a bareback
or some other unlock ed-for develop
ment the records of the past in the
bureau are beyond reproach.
But no Government department at
Tempts to collect statistics as to the
number of deaths caused by the heat
in the various sections of the country.
The United States Public Health Serv
ice does not deal with heat as such.
IF there should he an epidemic of any
sort in the wake of hot wave the
service might act. but there has been
no call of any sort upon its facilities.
No Calls for Aid.
The American Red Cross, always
ready 10 lend helping hand has re-
ceived no appeals for heat relief here
While storms. due TO elratic weather
conditions. are reported TO have
caused numbers of deaths in the Mid
West no situation has arisen calling
for ma tionaI aid or action.
The United States Census Bureau U,
which gathers vital statistics from the
so-called registration, which includes
most of the States of the Union. does
not gather or publish deaths under the
caption of heat.
II is explained At the various Gov
ernment agencies that there is really
no reliable way in which deaths from
hot waves can he computed. There
are number of deaths each year from
sunstroke. There are perhaps thou
"a nds of deaths each year throughout
the United States which can he set
down as 'superinduced by the neat.
But what might be called death
from heat in one locality would be
written down as something else in an
other community. There are no medi-
cal rules which prevail everywhere.
600 Deaths Reported.
The recent hot wave over the eastern
half of the country is generally ac
cused of having caused more than 900
deaths. according to press dispatches.
The Government has made no effort
To verify or confirm these reports.
There is no question that the hot
weather caused widespread suffering
and hurried the end of many persons
In delicate health or suffering from
disease. Lowered vitality caused by
the heat brought death to many per
sons who might have recovered under
better conditions. In some cities dur
ing q heat wave there Is tendency
to attribute all deaths to the heat In
other cities heat as a factor in the
death statistics is virtually ignored.
As matters stand the Government
does not regard the good old Summer

late the toll of Old Sol
