A Quarrel Between Nations Not So
Different From a Quarrel Be-
tween Children
One day Rhesa and I were both

both wanted to get good kick.
grabbed him and he grabbed me-
We held each other so that neither
one of us could get the ball. Fin
ally Bill came up and said that
neither one of us should have it,
that he would hold it for us. We
may suppose that Rhesa was Ger
many, I was France, and Bill was
the League of Nations, and that
Germany and France were fighting
over the Lorraine Territory While
the two countries Were disputing
over the land, the League said that
it would hold it until a certain
time; then a vote would be taken
to decide to whom it belonged.
This shows that a quarrel between
us two boys or between the two
nations could be settled without re-
sorting to war.

Gold Mining Is Active
in Alabama and Georgia

Birmingham, Ala.-A modern gold
rush in Alabama and Georgia is
peopling the hills between Alexan-
der City. Ala, and Dahlonega. Ga,
with more amateur and profession
al gold miners than the two states
have seen in years.
The Hog Mountain mine, near
Alexander City. has launched an
expansion program which will in
volve annual expenditures of about
S125,0OO when completed. With
shaft already down 200 feet, it is
producing gold at the rate of ST.
600 a month.
The mine is paying more than
$1,000 monthly in wages to about
eighty laborers. Its investment in
mining and gold recovering machin-
cry thus far amounts to about $780,
900 and will be greatly increased
under the announced expansion pro-
gram.
Smyrna times., 1935-01-10

The fighting of two nations or
countries is similar to the fighting
of two children and just as foolish.
John and Paul We're enemies. They
tried to find something to quarrel
over, but couldn't. Finally they
did have a dispute and it happened
in this way. One day John missed
his pencil from his desk Paul
who sat next to him, was accused
of taking it, because Paul had a
pencil like Johns Then there was
an argument in which they even
used their fists. When the teacher
saw this she made the boys stop.
The teacher made John clean out
his desk to see if he could find his
pencil. While cleaning out the
desk, John discovered his pencil in
his mathematics book that he had
put there in the early part of the
morning. He was then made to
apologize to Paul. Both boys saw
the folly of their quarrel, and from
that day on they have been good
friends.
So it is with countries that are
enemies. They may not have suf-
ficient reason to start a war, and
so they spy on one another and
wait for something to happen that
might be an excuse for fighting.
They recognize the necessity of
having a good cause before start
ing any trouble, just as Paul and
John did. If only the nations that
have cause for dispute would get
together and try to come to some
agreement between themselves,
there would not be so very many
wars.

CROWDS TRAVEL TO
BRUMMEL.'S CRAVE
Simple Tombstone Marks His
Resting Place in France.

Caen, France. - George Bryan
("Beau'D Brummell was buried
here in 1910, and simple tomb
stone marks his final resting place
after gay and spectacular life.
So far this year more than 5000
British and American tourists have
visited his grave in this Protestant
cemetery.
Brummell was born in London on
June z, 177S-156 years ago last
June. His father was Lord North's
private secretary. He attended Elton
and Oxford, where he was distin-
guished for his studiousness as well
as his righteousness in attire. Aft
er four years In the army he came
into an immense fortune and there
after devoted himself to the pro-
fession of fashion arbiter. In 1913
he quarreled with the prince re-
gent and he had to flee for his
life to Calais. Here, for fourteen
years, he struggled along in his
reckless carefree way. and from
1880 to 1882 held a sinecure consul
ate at Caen. He gradually lost his
mind and he died an idiot in an asy
lum in 1910, at siXty-two.
While in prison In Caen for debts,
Brummell wrote many begging let
ters to friends who had been will
ing enough to spend his money in
