SAFETY IN DEFENSE
The work that the Government, through the de
partment of the Army, is doing in the training of civi
lians for duty as soldiers, and officers, is one of the
greatest pieces of construction ever attempted by the
United States government. %
In practically every war this country has ever
fought we entered it almost wholly unprepared and
suffered sacrifices in men and money that were un
necessary. This is true from the Revolutionary war
down through the World War and although we take
pride in believing that it was the American soldier
who turned the tide at the Marne and finally
brought victory to the Allies it must not be overlooked
that while the “Yanks’- were being trained for fifteen
months after this country declared war the trained
forces of France, England and Belgium were holding
the enemy at bay.
These facts were brought out ver.v clearly by Gen
eral David Shanks in his address here this week when
he inspected the R. O. T. C. units of the University of
Georgia and the High School. ,
“And some of our congressmen make me tired,
continued the General. “They vote against appro
priations for the army and training and don’t know
what they are doing.” , ,, .
General Shanks then related about an incident
that happened in one of the Southern states in the
Fourth Corps area that he commands, telling about
having received a letter from a edngressman who
complained that a couple of officers and several en
listed men had been cut off the detail from one of the
college R. O. T. C. units of the state. Looking up the
tecord of this congressman the General found that he
voted for a reduction in the appropriation to maintain
these men and officers at these institutions but when
it hit his district, his college, his constituents ho want
ed to jump on the 'War Department. .. .
Hamstringing the regular army and strangling its
appropriations has long been a favorite pastime in
congress. During peace the army, and the affairs of
our safety and national defense, are almost lost in the
struggle fo fill the pork barrel and it is to be hoped
that now our government, through the tenacity of
such leaders as General Pershing and others, has set
out on a policy of constructiveness along lines of na
tional defense this policy will not be strangled by
petticoat politicians who love to demagogue about
"no more wars” and “its plenty of time to prepare
when war is upon us.” , ,
RESTRICTION ON IMMIGRANTS
Immigration is a mooted question and is one that is
almost continually under discussion. However, our
government has passed stringent regulations controll
ing the lumber of foreigners who shall enter this
country from the various nations across the water,
but wo should reduce the percentage or else this ele- •
ment of citizenship will yet menace the government
no little. Under the,, present immigration laws
the immigrants arc required to be quarantined
and a thorough examination made as to
their physical soundness and freedom from communi
cable bodily ailments, but we should go farther and
require them to be examined and certified as free
from mental disorders. Many of these people coming
over here are utterly incapacitated to ever make good
citizens and before they are allowed to cast their lots
with ius, every precaution should be taken to make
certain of their-'desirability. ’ It is a matter which
should receive the httention^and concern of the au
thorities of the nation and legislation even more dras
tic than now in force should be passed governing this
condition.
,It is true that thousands of this class of people arc
deported each year; but with all the regulations per
taining to the control of tho immigrant traffic, many
slip in to America who'are not entitled to the benefits -
to be derived here from citizenship.
Mexico has adopted a measure which is having a
wholesome effect on immigrants making their way to
America through that country. All foreigners land
ing in Mexico are required to remain in that country
for a-period of two years before they can cross the
the border. - This regulation has caused much of the
smuggling into Texas to cease.
Quite a traffic in smuggling foreigners into the U.
S. was carried on by the Mexicans until recently. Cer
tain sums were received for their safety out of Mexi
co, but both governments, America and Mexico, are
co-operating in an effort to break down ail such ille
gal traffic.
Three years ago this May, the silk market collapsed
and the great after-the-war boom began going to
pieces. You recall those happy days, when money
grew on trees. The ghost of that prosperity is out of
its grave now, for how long no one. knows, lust be
fore prosperity had “a stroke" in 1920, business was
going at top speed. And yet, for every 140 cars of
freight moved by the railroads in those days, the
roads recently have been hauling 184 cars. We’re in
a Production Boom now, not a Big Profits Boom as in
1920.
Spring has been late this year because the sun has
been having a chill. The heat cast off by that great
fumpee up in the sky is not up to standard. While
it’s only four per cent less than it should be, that’s
enough to play havoc with our weather. So an
nounces Prof. C. G. Abbot of the National- Academy
of Sciences. “Sensational and extraordinary!” scien
tists comment The sudden and unexplained cooling
of the sun began about 14.months ago. Don’t worry.
A congressional c ommittedprobably will investigate
it. The sun’s chill follows a period of several years
in which its heat was above normal. Apparently na
ture is merely evening things—restoring to normal
balance, • - * ■

Who would have thought
that our forefathers and thoso
from whom we are descendants
ever objected to the use of
bathtubs and to bathing. Such wut
he case, however, in the c.irliei
lays and one *>f the states cause*
i license to be placed on tho sah
f bathtubs and another prohibits
bathing from November 1 to Marcl
». Here Is what an exchange tell:
4 regarding tho invention and tin
<e of the now famous bathtubs:
Tho first bathtub in the Unitet
tales was built in Cincinnati, ii
installed in a home there In 1842,
ide of mahogany, lined w
sheet metal lead and was proud!
exhibited by its owner at r. Christ
nas party. Tho very next day
vns denounced in tho newspaper:
of that city as a luxurious, undemo
cratic vanity, 'rtien came tho medi
cal men, who declared it
to health. In 1843, one year later
the city cf Philadelphia tried
prohibit battling between Nov.
and March 15, by ordinance. (Imag
ine going without a bath for fou
months and a half!) In-1845 Bostoi
the city of culture, then the hul
of the universe, made bathing un
lawful except when prescribed' h
a physician. The state of Virgin!
taxed bathtubs $30 a year.
A long and useful life came
to an end yesterday afternoon
when Mr. Simon Sloman'a soul
passed to the great beyond.
We have known him since our eai
best recollections nnd during nl
these j ears there existed a clos<
and binding friendship which
never interrupted. He was activ
and prominent in tho commercla
world of Athens for many year;
being associated with the Charle;
Stern Co., and, until Vecent year;
the guiding hand of that success
ful business. He was quiet and
unassuming in manner, but true
at heart and a loyal friend,
spent the greater portion of his
life in Athens, coming here whei
quite a young man and entering
business with the latd Charle:
Stern. He succeeded in busines:
and did his part towards
movement for the good of the
munity. He has answered the cal
of the Almighty Pilot nnd his
hns been safely landed in the grea
beyond.
