TEACHERS OF GENIUS
BBY BRUCE CATTON
. The news thaf The man who taught Colonel Lind

: county hospital at Chicago, emphasizes the odd way
" life has of submerging the instructors of the great,
.~ This man, Ira Biffle, wag for years one of the
. army’s greatest teachers, He showed scores
, ‘yonths how to manipulate the ‘Jenniés’’ of war days.
: He gave Lindbergh his lessons, as Lindbergh him
. self says in his book, “We.” 'At one time he has ¢
. fortune estimated at SIOO,OOO.
. And finally he landed in.a county hospital, broke,
. nearly blind, dying in obscurity, his identity dis
covered only by chance, The only relieving cir
cumstance is that Lindbergh and others of his for
_aner pupils have contributed to brighten hig last
. days somewhat.
: 1t makes one wonder' somehow, just what hap
~ pens to all the other teachers who have taken young
genius in hand and showed it how to operate the

© | Back of-every great man ,if you look.far enough,
; there is a teacher—somewhere, Genius makes its
. own rules and finds its own way, but before it starts
it must find someone who can touch off the spark,
~ someone who enables it to use the capabilities wlth'
.~ _which God has gifted it.
. These teachers don't become famous. Most of
the time we never even hear of them—except when,
ilke Ira Biffle, they call our attention to fate's irony
by dying in poverty, But we should like to know
~ more about them.
. What unknown and long-forgotten British army
~officer, for instance, first showed that young strip

~ life, taught him how to handle men; and thus started
~ him on the pathway that brought him to leadership
of the Revolutionary armies? . :

~ What high school mathematician helped steer Albert
Einstein into his destined eareer? Who first show
. _ed Henry Ford that fl(ldling around with machines
~ Can be an absorbing and fruitful calling? . . .., .
" Wa lack the answers, of course, in mo#t cases.
“"“But these teachers, unsumg and forgotten, deserve
8 ft’y;gger share of the world’s applause than they
. ever'get. ¥
“Phe desire to make a financlal killing 1s one of
the most natural and understandable of all human
fiyfiimiqnn —especially in times like.these, Neverthe

"~ The federal government recently prepared to spend
- $8,000,000 on a slum clearance program in a large
_manufacturing city. It had all its plang made; but
_now it may have to abandon them altogether, be

out for'high prices. ; )
. "Owners have let this property deteriorate = for
‘years,”’ says one government Bfficial, “and in many

exactly nothing, but now so many of them want
speculative prices that the city will lose ,the eXpen

It would be hard to find a clearer instance of the

HEART DISEASE? REST IS BEST
. . | BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
~ Editor, Journal of the American Medisal Association,
£ and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine -
%L,*‘ln all forms of heart disease, rest in bed has long
%:figfly advised ag the important item in treatment. All]
. physicians are agreed that rest is most important in
“M& pectoris and coronary thrombosis, |
~ln fact, many eXperts assert that if you are trou

t g f;:b’mplete rest until you are able to sit up without

. tifically the results of controlled rest among 28 pa
~ tients with angina pectoris. The patients varled in
~ age from 44 to 70 years—llß of them men and b
Jlt,z?‘?“” .
%M‘Afl these people had had angina pectoris with se
”ggmfle pain for some time and had been endeavoring
v;fiogecure relief by attending a medical dispensary
g&m&ru, where their conditions were studied and
f?é‘wfigre prescriptions were given to them. ‘
%tin most of these cases the pain came on following
_any physical exertion and there were some patient:
rifigjwwhom any sudden strong emoting would also in

. prohibited and they were given the best possible

VICE-ADMIRAL BRUMBY
Vice-Admiral Frank Hardeman Brumby,
a native Athenian, has earned a reputa
tion that has placed him in the command
ing ranks of the United States navy. Ris
ing from an ensign appointment he has
reached the rank of vice-admiral which
placed him in charge of the contro] force
of the U. S. fleet and also in command of
the submarine division of the control force.
He is now on his way to the Atlantic
coast directing the activities of the
“Brown” fleet in sea fighting maneuver
ing with the “Blue” armada, the two fleets
composing practically the entire strength
of the United States navy.
Georgia and especially the people of his
‘home town, Athens, are proud of the re
markably successful record Vice-Admiral
Brumby has attained since entering the
navy. He comes from a family that has
made history in naval and army circles.
The late Lieutenant Thomas M. Brumby
who made history for this country at the
battle of Manilla Bay, in the Spanish-Am
erican war, was an uncle of his. He has‘
two sisters living here, Misses Mary Har
ris and Anne Brumby. . 1
‘ OUTRAGEOUS ACT OF OFFICERS
The shooting and killing of a woman in
LaFayette, Ala., last week by a sheriff’s
posse is inexcusable and without justifica
tion. These officers, seeking the arrest of
bootleggers, blockaded the highway and
when innocent parties approached and re
fused to stop, the officers opened fire, one
of the shots striking a woman in the party,
killing her instantly. None of the people
in the automobile were in any way con
nected with the violation of the prohibi
tion law or any other law. They were re
turning to their homes and when held up,
iwithout knowing the men to be officers,
inaturally th)y sped through the blockade.
‘This action on the part of these innocent
‘people resulted in a volley of shots that
‘lcixti_used the woman in the party to lose her
e.
Even though, these people had been vio
lators of the prohibition law, the officers
‘were not justified in shooting to kill. When
the prohibition law first became effective,
the number of murders committed by reck
less and irjesponsible officers grew to a
state that was alarming. The federal au
thorities issued orders restricting their
conduct and in several instances the state
courts tried and convicted these criminal
officers. Since that time, much of the
recklessness on the part of, police officers
and deputy sheriffs have been abated, but
the occurrence in Alabama indicates that
a revival of law violators by officers is
again being practiced under the shield of
the law. .
These officers should be tried and treat
ed with in the same way as all criminals
of that type. An officer has no right to
holdup innocent people on the highways,
especially at night. If the officers are
satisfied that thev have the guilty parties
—then they should make every reasonable
effort to accomplish the arrest of such vio
lators, but in no wise are they authorized
or justified by law to shoot to kill on mere
suspicion.. Besides, the violation of the
prohibition law i< only a misdemeanor and
not a crime justifving death. With severe
sentences imposed on reckless and crim
inally inclined officers, fewer of such cases
will occur in the future.
DANCE AND PLAY CARDS
The ideals held by the people of this
country in the olden days are rapidly pass
ing out and the new fang-dangled ideas of
a modern age are supplanting them. A
half century ago, possibly, a quarter of a
century ago, girls and women smoking
cigarettes, dancing or playing cards were
tabooed. Such diversions were not consid
ered in keeping with polite society and the
generations of those days were taught to
abhor all such festivities.
As an illustration of the change in the
minds of the people, especially, with the
women and girls, the trustees of the Mus
kingum College, in Ohio, have agreed to
let the students dance and play cards. For
aver a half-century, this privilege has been
denied the students. of that institution.
Now, they have breen granted the free
dom, and we presume, that they are also
permitted to smoke cigarettes. If the of
ficials continue in their advanced ideas
and ideals, maybe the girls will be allowed
to smoke and a place provided for a smok
ing room,
Tt might as well be agreed to for few of
the girls of the present generation are im
mune to the habit of cigarette smoking.
COUNTY OFFICERS ENDORSED
The presentments of the Clarke county
Grand Jury for the April term of the Su
perior court contained commendatory
recommendations for all of the county of-
ficers and for the efficient manner in
which the business of the county is car
ried on by these spl:ndid officials.
Clarke county is, indeed, fortunate in
having a group of able and competent of
ficers in charge of its affairs. Practically
all of these men have held office for a
number of years, meeting with no opposi
tion at the expiration of their terms of
office. While the election for county of
ficers does not come until 1936, even at
this early date, it is not believed that they
will have opposition at that time.
Officers who perform their duties in an
able, conscientious and efficient manner,
deserve an endorsement, and that has been
the custom in this county for the past de
cade or more. The Graud Jury is to be
congratulated on its recommendations of
endorsement of these faithful officers.
They deserved the recognition atthe hands
of their fellow citizens charged with the
responsibility of investigating the conduct
of the public’s offices.

the Molucca Islands, although cultivated

B st
The Georgia Pharmaceutical
Association will meet in Sa- .
vannah June 11, 12, 13. This
association has a large mem-' '
bership, and should be invited
to meet here next year.
Some years ago, this association
held its annual meeting in Athens,
and it is believed that it can be
gecured for Athens for its sixtieth
session in 1935. No doubt, the
Chamber of Commerce will extend
to this association an inviiition to
meet here at that time. Besides
the druggist will have a great in
fluence in gecuring the convention.
With the Chamber of Commerce
and the druggists cooperating, it
is believed that the meeting can be

organizations holding conven
' tions during this and next
month that should be secured
~ for their 1935 convention.
}, .The I. O. O. F., Grand Lodge
]GI Georgia has met in this city
on several occasions in the past.
The delegates to this convention
usually number between 1,500 and
| 2,000. These people do not ask
for’ entertainment, but their ex
penses are paid by the lodges they
represent. The state officers meet
it_\\-u days in advance of the regu
lar ' meeting of the delegates be
ls’?flvs‘ many visitors from all sec
tibls of ‘the state attend these
rreetings.” " However, it would be
proper for the people of Athens
through the Chamber .of Coms
me¥ce, -to arrange a program ot
entertainment that wbpuld fit in
[hatw‘een the business sessions of
;thn ¢irand Lodge. The coming of
[thiw konV@ntion would tax the ca
pacities of the hotels and boarding
houses, . besides being a contriba
tion to the filline stations. garages
and other lines of business.

if- tha pecple do not interest
‘tfiems:elves in the movement
to secure conventions, In order
- 't# have thece conventions as
. ’flfiéffl,s guest next year, action
must be taken immediately.
There is no reason why Athens
should not be re-established as .the
“Convention City of-Georgia”. A
few years ago, it enjoyed this dis
tinetion, but somehow, for the past
few years, no definite program has
heen adopted for continuing and
holding the reputation. The Cham
ber of Commerce, no doubt, will
undertake to formulate a conven
tion program that will prove ben
eficial to the community. The
Knights of Pythias, Shriners, Hard
ware dealers and a number of
other conventions that formerly
met in Athens will return here
for next year, if the proper effort
is put forth.
