THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

J If such a man as Diogenes, the
cynic philosopher, existed today in
| washington he would end up at
Gallinger Hospital. held for observa-
tion as to his mental condition.
Imagine any one walking along
Pennsylvania avenue In broad day
light, swinging lighted lantern, and
replying to policemen OF the first
precinct, Il am looking for an honest
man."
| Well. we know where he would
| land!
What are you doing?" the COP
would snap.
! Il am seeking an honest man.
| Diogenes would retort.
! You can look for him over at the
| station house, the officer would
merlock on the prisoner. And put
out that light-ya don't need it until
night"
Lantern and all, Diogenes would
be dumped into the wagon, and un-
| tremendously hauled over to the sta
tion. The desk sergeant would look
up, pen poised in hand.
What for?" he would ask the officer.
Hold for mental observation
| that worthy would reply, tapping his
| forehead. Thinks he's some kind of
an automobile, l guess"
If Diogenes were true to his old
self, ne would only smile, for Penn
sylvania avenue, hospital or prison
would all be one to him.

Out of all the noted figures of an
tiquity, there is none more interest
ing or instructive than Diogenes, the
man who told Alexander the Great
where to get off"
1t was at Corinth that the hero
met the philosopher.
Diogenes was stretched out in the
sunshine at the side Of the road
when Alexander came along in his
regal splendor.
Everybody else was up and doing,
with so great a parsonage around,
but old Diogenes retained his place
in the sun.
The conquerer gazed at the cynic.
and the cynic looked back unflinch-
ingly at the hero.
The situation was a trying one.
Alexander's dignity was hurt 1t
called for some Of the old you-don't-
ow-who Lam -do-you stuff.
"I am Alexander the Great" testify
said the fighter.
"And I am Diogenes the Cynic,"
easily replied Diogenes.
He was not fioored a bit He was
already down, in literal sense, but
rising higher and higher, in a figur-
ative one.
Alexander, having tried being
naughty, and having failed, attempt
ed the grand lord.
What can 1 do for you?" asked
the king of empires. what is the
boon you craye2"
To himself, Alexander probably
said, Now watch him crawl They
all do"
But he did not know Diogenes fully
yet
II ask nothing but thou wouldst
get out of my sunshine" replied
Diogenes.
And Alexander got
Were I not Alexander, 1 would
be Diogenes." was the tribute paid
by the hero to the philosopher.
Diogenes lived a long, long time
ago.
He was born. according to the best
tradition, about 412 BIC, In Sinope, a
city of Pontius, in Asia, and died 50
years later in Corfnth.
Philosophy and the temperate life
worked, in his case. as 1t does in
most, IL faithfully practiced.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

FOolishvilIe.
In Foolishville,
With impulse gay,
OF f1eeting skill
We make display,
Amid applause,
Loud and direct,
We frame new laws
Which few respect.
We're fond of jazz
And of the dance.
Plain merit has
But little chance.
But, truth to tell,
Life holds a thrill
For those who dwell
In Foolishville.

GOLD WAS FOUND IN
GEORGIA BEFORE 1928
INDIANS WERE AWARE OF
PRESENCE OF YELLOW ME-
TAI IN WHITE COUNTY.

DAHLONEGA, Ga-Gold, that
yellow metal which has been the OBJ
ject Of man since time immemorial
was first found in Georgia prior to
the date usually given for its discov-
cry.
According to the testimony OF the
earlier residents OF Lumpkin county
it was found near here prior to 1925
when the metal was first seen or
Dukes creek, in White county. The
discovery OF the precious meta
brought an thrush OF settlers, many
Iof them Adventures seeking their for
tunes, while others we're substantial
miners, anxious to develop the rici
treasures hidden in the hills.
Among those falling into the latter
group was Reese Crisson, one OF the
best known metalurgists of his day
who came to Dahlonega in the veal
gold was found Another was JOSEPH
Edwards, man who became a lead
ing citizen OF the community in later
years.
The Indians were undoubtedly
aware OF the existence OF gold depos-
its in the Cherokee country, but were
probably ignorant of its value. They
knew it by the name "taloneka,
meaning yellow metal" From thi'
designation Dahlonega takes its SINH
lar sounding name.
The United States mint was estab
lished in Dahlonega in 1886 and skill
ed worknen we're brought from Phil
adelphia to place the mint in opera
ton. Until recent years many OF the
gold dollars in circulation Throughout
the United States bore the mark o
this mint. 1t was discontinued wher
the supply OF gold was found to be
far more limited than that OF the new
" opened fields in California.

WHITE RACE AND
NEGROES ARE DYING
YELLOW PEOPLE WILL LAST,
SAVANT PREDICTS. WORLD
STATISTICS COMPILED.

The white and black races are dy-
ing, but the yellow race will survive,
according to Prof Gratjahn, eminent
savant, who has compiled world sta
tistics on birth rates, Says a Berlin
cable to the Chicago Tribune.
No race can survive unless every
1000 inhabitants can boast twenty
children, says Prof. GroGahn. The
birth rate OF the white race through
out the world is under this minimum.
The United States is slightly over
the minimum, but cannot balance the
European figures, which are below the
quota needed to save the white race.
German Births Decrease.
Even in Germany, which, according
to the census, has increased in popu-
lation, the white race is threatened
with extinction. The increase shown
is due only to the return OF numerous
German citizens from the colonies and
provinces lost by the peace treaty, and
not to the birth rate. The latter is
declining In 1872 more than forty
children were born for every 1000 in
habtants. In 1900 this already had
dropped to thirty-five A year before
the war the birth rate was slightly
more than twenty-seven for every l.
900 inhabitants, while in 1924 it dropp-
ed to tWenty-one.
Furthermore, the average is still
lower in the towns. In 1928, for in
stance, Berlin boosted only nine and
one-half children for every 1000 in
habitants.
France has the lowest birth rate in
Europe, nor does England come up
TO the quota. There are nineteen and
one-half children born for every 1000
inhabitants. Switzerland, which did
not suffer in the war, registers fewer
than twenty births for each 1000 IN
/ habitants.
Due to Selhshness.'
Prof. Grotjahn blames the selfish
ness of the modern generation for this
dropping birth rate. When men and
women who are 90 now die the world
suddenly will realize how much the
drop in the birth rate means i'll world
affairs.
The black race is unable to cope
with modern life, Prof. Grotjahn be-
i ieves On the coast OF Africa the pop
ulation is dwindling, and therefore
thew are no danger for the whites.
But the yellow race has all the ele--
ments OF victory. 1t seems predest1ned
to survive unless the whites pass dras-
tic measures TO save the race.

URGES STATES TO
ASSUME FUNCTIONS
INHERITANCE TAX AND ROAD
BUILDING SHOULD BE TRANS
FERRED, SAYS PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, D. president
Coolidge sees much good behind the
present widespread agitation against
the Capitalization of authority in
Washington.
But he feels that if legislation like
the federal inheritance tax is repeald,
leaving that field open to the states,
such a course will impose upon the
state governments a heavy response
bility for carrying out the functions
thus given them.
An outline of the presidents views,
made available today at the white
house, disclosed that he believes it
would be preferable to have the states
assume many functions Of government
that are now carried out in co-opera-
ton with the federal government.
Recent visits to the capital Of sew
eral state governors on taxation mat
tiers have been closely observed by
Mr.. Coolidge, who views their appeals
for repeal of the federal inheritance
tax as a step in line with increasing
other functions of state governments.
One of these functions which he be-
lieves could be carried out to much
larger extent by the states is in high
way construction.
In this connection the federal gov
eminent would of necessity make al
lowances to states in which are locat-
ed large tracts of the public domain
as we'll as those with small popula
ton, but in general it is the program
OF the administration to encourage
highway development by the states
rather than a continuation OF its pro-
motion from Washington.
