them.
They can dye the hair the golden
yellow, of the jet black, of youth,
but they cannot put under it the
fresh face of girlhood. They can
have the skin lifted and the wrinkles
smoothed, but there will still remain
the tired, faded old eyes to tell the
story of fifty or sixty years. They
can starve themselves until they have
the figures of flappers but they can
not recover the grace Of their youth.
They can roll their stockings and
wear their granddaughter clothes,
but they will not look like debutantes
They will only call attention to their
senility.
As a matter of fact, woman Of
ffty-five is in her prime. She is at
an age when many women are hand
somer than they ever were in their
lives. No one will think of her as
being old at all if she is willing to
appear at her own honest age: if in
stead of dieting to emanciation she
has the pleasing plumpness that be-
longs to her time of life; if instead
of having her hair dyed she allows
it to become softly gray; if instead
of wearing knee length dresses she is
appropriately and becomingly gown
ed. and if instead of acting coy and
kittenish she maintains the quiet dig
nifty of her years.
Perhaps after all we make too big
tragedy of growing old. The twi-
light has its charms, and the last lap
of the journey of life will hold many
compensations and joys if we are will
ing to accept it as enivitable.

Mr.. Bruce Findlay, assistant super
intendent of Los Angeles Schools, in
an address the other day asked:
"Why should we assume that the
flapper of 1927 will make a poorer
mother than the "flapper" of yester-
day, who has been her mother?"
There is just as much to the mod
ern girl as there ever was to her an
cestor. The fact that she wears
short skirts and hobs her hair is not
against her. She wears less clothing
than her ancestors and is conse-
quently healthier.
She is more addicted to outdoor
sports with beneficial results.
Altogether the modern flapper of
today is just as well prepared for
motherhood as was her mother, and
better than she.
There is no more danger to a girl
from taking an automobile ride than
there was from taking buggy ride.
Of course dissipation and late
hours are bad for anyone and in pro-
portion as a woman INDUCES in this
she is endangering her health and en-

dangering posterity.
But take it all in all the girl of to-
day is quite as sensible as her moth
er was yesterday and we may look
forward with confidence to the flu
ture of the race.
1t never was in better hands. Those
of today are just as serious minded
as their mothers were the day be-
fore.
Virtue is not to be founded upon
ignorance but upon knowledge, and if
the girl of today knows more than
her mother did it helps her and does
not hinder her.
She is prepared to be mans
partner and equal and not his slave
and plaything and in this respect she
has the advantage over former years.
AS far as l am concerned, the girls
of today are healthier, better-looking
and more desirable as companions
than were the girls of yesterday.
This old world is humping merrily
along and some things about it some
people don't like, but on the whole it
is improving.

the United States Public Health Ser
vice and State Boards of Health, this
in addition to many other facts has
been definitely determined. Conse-
quently, the United States Public
Health Service and all State Boards
of Health, especially the Southern
States, are regulating impounded wa
tiers, with the object in view of having
all areas cleared of vegetation before
impounding for hydro electric de-
velopment The State of Georgia is
no exception.
Our state welcomes hydro-electric
development because it promotes con-
venience and prosperity, and yet,
without health nothing is of value.
Our captains of industry are men of
broad vision and it behooves them to
recognize this fact and follow the
course outlined by the public health
worker and the sanitary engineer
whose knowledge is built upon the
foundation of scientific investigation
and practical application. In this
era of great progress of hydro cleo
trio development let US not overlook
the merits of the course designated
by the United States Public Health
Service and our State Board of
Health. When we impound water
without clearing vegetation we invite
the Anopleline mosquito, The invi-
tation is accepted and sickness, death,
mental anguish and economic loss is
the result. We welcome hydro-elec-
trio development but we want health

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
WARS AGAINST MOSQUITO

We are now on SS&. of that
period of the year when tfs Anophe-
line (malaria) mosquito begins to
take its toll.
The toll of the mosquito may be
regarded from three aspects; first,
the annoyance, suffering and death
caused by disease it transmits; sec
ond, the economic loss resulting from
disease in expenditures for medical
aid, nursing and medicines and loss
OF time and productive energy; and,
third, the economic loss it occasions
by retarding development of, and de-
pressing property values in sections
where it abounds.
Apart from the annoyance and dis
comfort it causes it is solely response
bic for malaria, yellow fever, and
dengue. Of these diseases malaria
is the most prevalent and dangerous
in the Southern States.
Sir Ronald Ross, discoverer of the
transmission of malaria by the mos
quito says: Malaria is one of the
greatest scourges inflicted upon hu-
manity. It's menace to any people
OF a country in which it has de-
cided incidence In the number of
deaths caused either directly or in
directly the sickness and suffering,
the loss of time and efficiency, the
expense, the lowered vitality of those
afflicted and in the reduction of the
valuation of property, malaria is
without rival among the diseases
affecting mankind"
The late H. R. Carter, Senior Sur
geon, United States Public Health
Service, says: 'The loss of efficiency
caused by malaria in malarious sec
lions is beyond comparison greater
than that caused by any other dis
ease, or even by any two or three
diseases combined including typhoid
fever and tuberculosis. You have
never heard of the prevalence of ty-
phoid determining the failure to To-
cate industrial plants. Yet, at one
place where power was abundant and
very cheap, the manager told me that
number of options for cotton mills,
factories, exceptions which had
been taken because of the cheapness
OF power-had been abandoned be-
cause of the prevalence of malaria"
The Southern states are now ex
periencing an era of industrial pro-
gress. Hydro-electric developments
are now located here and there with
in our borders. This type of devel-
opment which is so greatly needed
and which we so gladly welcome
necessitates impounding large bodies
of water in our malarious sections.
The Anopheline mosquito seeks i'm
pounded water for the propagation
of the species, but will not seek i'm
pounded water free from vegetation.
Vegetation on impounded areas is
absolutely necessary for feeding of
the larvae of the Anopleline mosqui
to. After years of research work by

A LITTLE TALK
ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS, President
American Society for Thrift

1t is not always understood that
thrift is a matter of correct proper
tions.
Saving is an element of thrift but
the miser carries it too far. Hard
work is part of true thrift but when
we overwork and ruin our health, we
have lost our sense of proportion.
Self-sacrifice and discipline are nee
essary to thrift but not to the ex-
IRENE of making mere machines of
ourselves.
We could carry the same thoughts
into the realms of education and trav-

Girls Not Giving
Engagement Rings

Atlanta, Gait may be quite the
thing for prospective brides to pre-
sent their frances with an engage
ment ring after they have been asked
the fatal question that makes two
hearts beat as one, but Atlanta girls
have not yet fallen for the idea, ac-
cording to Atlanta jewelers..
Large numbers of rings are bought
for men, it was stated by jewelers. in
the Peachtree Arcade, Atlanta's lit
tie city of shops, but the purchasers
are usually wives who want to give
their husbands birthday present or
something of that sort, and if any
are sold as engagement rings, the
sweet young things who buy them
should be given credit for keeping at
least one secret, the jewellers said.
Wedding rings for men, it was sta
ted here, are being worn more now
than ever and many of these are sold,
the jewellers said.

Dear Miss Flo:
Won't you write an article about
grandmothers who try to look and act
like flappers? l am married and
have little girl of twelve, My moth
er lives with us. She is fifty-five
years old, but honestly she acts like
sixteen. She smokes, hobs her hair,
and wears short dresses. She goes
to parties, dances, and stays out all
hours of the night, and when I tell
her she is making her ridiculous. she
becomes angry and sulks for days.
My husband is thoroughly disguised,
and says she is a bad influence for
our daughter.

There is nothing quite so pathetic
as the old woman who affects youth,
and who never gives up her fight for
it until she drops from sheer eXhaus-
ton or nervous prostration.' The
sad part is that she succeeds only in
making herself ridiculous and appears
infinitely older than she really is. The
the harder it fights us back and the
truth of it is the more we fight age
sooner it conquers US, None grow
old so quickly as those who work
themselves into premature age try
ing to keep young.
We all dread old age, and from
time immemorial humanity has been
in search of some magic that will
stop the hand of time and enable 1t
to hold on to the youth it prizes SO
dearly. But it is all in vain The
wears continue to march over us and
nothing that we can do will stop
