THIS SUMMER
..We’Ve been having queer weather lately in most
torts 6f the United States. And we may be in for a
aueer nmseasonal summer. The Weather Bureau at
Washington reports that 1022 was the sixth year in
sudeesfeion with temperatures generally above nor
mal ehst of the ltocky Mountains, Since nature in
the Johg run keeps the average yearly temperature
finely!balanced, the reaction from these six abnor
mally Hvarm years may be an abnormally cold year.
pSfotf it come in 1923—a cold summer?
A cold summer is clue, but probably not until
about (1926, in line with the climax of the "65-year
^Go-back two cycles (110 years) from 1926 and
you have 1816, “the-year without a summer. Snow
fell add ice formed in July in many of the northern
rfUtesi. and seed corn in 1816 sold as high «a $4 *
bushel ” Herbert J. Browne writes in Henry Ford e
U. ditty o( Chari.. Pitt*
of Philadelphia: “August, 18 * 6 —? h< ! er J^ I . ^" d
cold. ' Northeast rains. Ice one-half-inch thick, In-
was extraordinarily cold, it was mere
ly one of the “summerless yeare” that come period
ically] The Black Sea and the Dardanelles have been
frozeil over within recorded history. And in the year
1384 Oven the Adriatic froze.
Ona thing that helped make 1816 very cold,
Browde writes, was the explosion of a huge volcano
in theSDutch East Indies in 1816. Fine volcanic dust
spread through the atmosphere all over the earth,
excluding much sunlight the following year, 1816.
Thore was, of course, no such catastrophe in 1922,
and tfat will help keep the summer of 1923 normal-
^vjtridther thing favorable to a warm summer this
vonr fa the .fact that the Arctic Ocean, which has a
tremendous determining influence on our weather,
jws.bden exceptionally warm this winter.
Freukish conditions in the northland are reported
ilmuieAmerican consul at Bergen, Norway. He
W vs the coldwater fish have flocked northward. Ice
caps in tho Arctic are retreating. In Greenland «la-
■ tiers ire melting and exposing ground that had been
covered by ice always within the memory of the old
est inhabitants. . .
The scientific evident, coupled with precedent,
indicates that the summed of 1923 probably will be a
.warm one,4nd that the weather will even itself up by
sending us a cpld summer about 1926—though pos
sibly,sooner. s - ,
ORAL HYGIENE
‘ Greek mythology has given us Hygeia from whom
we have derived the word hygiene. She was the
daughter of Aesculapius, we-are told, and Apollo was
hor grandfather. Hygeia was the goddess of health.
It is said she was created after a great plague had
taught! Aesculapius that something more than cura
tive medicine was necessary. She reprerontcl the
sanitary division in his three temples of principle# and
rules designed for the preservation and promotion of
^Hygiene is the science of healthful living, and fur
nishes us a basis for an intelligent control over those
habits and conditions which affect oar every-day life. ,
.Personal hygiene, as contrasted with public hygiene,
considers those principles for £e. preservation and
promotion of health qver which the individual has
control. And since Providence, has ordered that man
shall eat, work, think and procreate, hygiene has
long been divided into'special groups as it relates to
nutrition and assimilation, action and exercise, sensa
tion and thought, and reproduction of the species. -
The.subiect of oral hygiene concerns the health
of thd mouth and is one of the recent divisions of the
subject of personal hygiene. It is now a highly speci-
■alized and important field because of the rapid pro-
Mcress dentistry, as a profession, has made during the
pa.it htlf century. 1 Its importance has been revealed
during 1 the past decade by numerous investigators
•Who have shown what diseased gums and decayed
teetK.may do, not only for the teeth ;and mouth, but
{for the entire human body. As an example, school
children whose teeth and gums are in bad condition,
are invariably at the bottom of their classes. In
adultr, these conditions are very apt to lead to sys-
P nic infections, involving the vital organs, and thus
Aiidr so considerable attention should be paid to
loral hygiene to prevent oral sepsis and decay of the
.teeth; • • • ;
is the $2 bill considered so unlucky that
Uncie'Sam thinks of withdrawing it from circulation ?
Walter Allman, who draws the Duffs, suggests maybe
jt’n because ‘pe'ople are afraid of spending a two for
, V’2[.j9np.” Superstitions usually start among gamblers,
Pullman porters and actors. The one about the $2
bill probably began with gamblers, for a $2 bank-
tnpte looks worse to a gambler than a black cat or “the
hand of the dead man held.”

Lawyers had been unable to locate her, so they asked
a radio .sending station to help. The other night we
picked up WWJ and heard the Detroit (police
broadcasting a description of a man, wearing a red
mackinaw, wanted for njurder. He had fled from
Windsor, Ontario, across the river from Detroit, a
few hours previously. Many a farmer, hearing this,
must have bunted up his shotgun and.began watching
the road. Radfo eliminates distance. . It hiak'es the

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A UttU of JBrary thing And Not Mack of Anything#
By HUGH ROWB
It wai thoughtful on the
part of the P- T. A.’a to sug-
geHt the naming of the two
new school buildings in honor
of C. D. Flanigen and Chancelloi
Barrow and it was appropriate on
the part of the members of the
board of education to designate
the buildings a« the “C. I). Flani-
gen” and “David C. Borrow”
schools. These gentlemen haw-
been members of the board.since
its creation and their services and
Barrow are the enly two members
of the present board who were
original members of the l first
board, and their long and faithful
service stands out prominently in
the (success of the public school
system in Athens.

Judge Samuel H. Sibley is
to be congratulated on impos
ing a neavy fine and sentence
on Dr. E. K. Wheel!*, con
victed of violating, the. narcotic
law. It is bad enough to violate
the prohibition law, but when one
has no more regard for humanity
than to engage in the ale of nar
cotics, the punishment should be
severe and the action of Judge
Sibley will meet with the endorse
ment and approval of law abiding
citizens and those in sympathy
with the uplift of humanity.
Now that conventions are
meeting in all parts of the
state and south, it is high
time th/rt some effort was be
ing made by the Chamber of Com*
merce to bring the meetings for
next year to Athens. Some years
ago Athens had the reputation of
being the “Convention City” of
the state, but for some reason, of
recent years there seems to have
been no effort made on the part of
the commercial bodies to secure
conventions for this city. Conven
tions are the greatest advertising
mediums a city can secure and, il
the proper effort is put forward
many conventions can be secured
for Athens next year.
Such a step on the part, of the
Chamber of Commerce might re
sult in securing a number of con
ventions such as the Knights of
Pythias; the Odd Fellows; the
Encampment; the Red Men: the
Woodmen of the World; the Hard
ware Dealers Association; the U.
C. T-. and a number of other or
ganizations which are to meet in
various parts of,t'.ie state during
the months of May and June.
1 The action on, the part of
. the officials of the street rail
way company in inaugurat
ing an unlimited rid# trans
ferable pass has met all criticism
and will set at rest any “kicking*
on the part of the public from
paying u seven cent car fare. How
the company expects to increase
ats business or even hold the
amount it now has is beyond our
comprehension, but that is for
them to figure out, but we believe
after it has been tried a while the
tosses will be so great they will
either have to discontinue car
service or else raise the rate. Vn-
aer the new system of rates a per
son can ride every day, every Hour
and every minute of the schedules,
□ay and night, for the price of one
dollar per week and it the person
grows tired ot riding his family
and his cook or butler can use tne
ticket. It is an unusual proposi
tion and one which should satisfy
Jill patrons of the car line. If
there is anything else to be done
«e- encourage people to use the
atfeet cars we are at a loss to make
a suggestion.
