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, • - * ■ Major John I. Callaway, ro bust, hale, hearty, and past the three score year and ten mile post in life is spending his time with bin daughter, Mrs. Grady At kinson. at Madison.

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.
