CATTONS COMMENT
. I
~ BY BHUCE CATTON ;
An inquiring reporter who restlessly prowls theg
streets in quest of news crecks in with the pleaslng]
report that the schoolma’am of today is a great deal |
prettier and snappier than she was in the day I
when dad went to school. i
What set the reporter off on this observation was |
the fact that he had just returned form a statc |
teachers convention. There he had mingled with ai
crowd of stylish and attractive young women who |
Jooked more like moving picture extras than school- I
ma’anis, and the fact went at once to his head. l
The contrast is probably unfair, Yesterday's |
schoolma’am lives on in the memory of the restless
Jads who sat at her feet a generation ago, and i
“wag -always an article of faitk with them that the |
schoolma’am could not be anything but a battleax.
They conceived of an eternal antagonism between
teacher and pupil, and to have admitted that teach
‘e was & charming young woman would have been
{0 lose half the battle right at the start,
~ So the memory of today's grown men probably does
yeserday's schoolma’am less than justice. But
“whatever they think cf her appearance, most men

" DIVORCES GRANTED OVERNIGHT
The divorce evil, so prevalent in this
country, appears to have spread over to
England. Mrs. Wally Simpson, the dash
ing and fascinating Baltimore gir]l has
just been awarded a divorce from her
husband. The legal proceedings before
the judge, separating the gay wife from
her husband, it is alleged, lasted twenty
one minutes. Of course, Wally had made
application for a divorce from her hus
band prior to the court hearing, but the
actual time consumed by the court was
less than a half-hour.
Publicity sent out from London has it
that King Edward will marry Mrs. Simp
son in June, of next year, following the
icoronation exercises, All of which may
be true, but before the wedding has actu
ally oceurred, we are of the belief that
“there will be a hot time” in old London
town,
But be that as it may, the King is king
and what he says will go with his sub
jects, whether his conduct is in keeping
with pelite and official society rules, reg
ulations: and customs notwithstanding.
After all, evidently, London courts have
taken notes from the Reno courts of this
country. In Reno, it is easy to get a di
vorce, but the record in England of the
Baltimore beauty sets a pace that will be
hard to overcome.
KEEP BUSINESS MOVING
The noticeable increase in business dur
ing the past few months should be an in
centative for all citizens to keep in an op
timistic mood and cooperate in the fullest
in all movements for the betterment of
the community.
The Chamber of Commerce has been
active this year and its accomplishments
have shown results of great importance
to Athens. The benefits have been gen
eral and all lines of business have prof
ited from the successful program inaugu
rated and executed throughout the year.
The annual meetings and dinners held by
this organization have brought the citi
zens together and afforded them an op
portunity of contacting each other and
becoming better acquainted. The results
from these gatherings have been of a last
ing nature, and beneficial in many ways.
One of the outstanding features of the
Chamber of Commerce has been its activ
ities in securing conventions. This year,
a number were held here, and next year
it is vnderstond that several imvortant
conventions will be held in this city. The
directors and officers of this organizatior
conld not direct their efforts to more im
nortant matters than thatof securing con*
ventions. Swnech eatheringd brine to the

WARNING CAME TOO LATE I
There are many fairs and carnivals be-|
ing held in various sections of the state|
this fall. Some have already been held
while a number are to follow later on inl
the season. In Columbus, some weeksi
ago, the Chattahoochee Valley fair was
held. Like many other fairs, held in this
state, gambling devices of various kindsi
were operated and numbers of citizens!
were separated from their money. While!
the fair was going on, the gambling con-|
cessions: were allowed to continue, but!
after the close, the grand jury met the|
following week and passed resolutions
condemning such practices and calling on
the officers to prohibit all such violations
of the law in the future,
The intention of the members of the
grand jury was good, no doubt, but the'
Iharm had been done and it was too late
'then to remedy the evil. Gambling con
'cessions at fairs and ecarnivals are thei
most valuable of any of the concessionsi
sold by the management, but of late years,
few places permit such operations. It is;
Ila bad practice, and seldom the local in-i
‘terests enjoy the benefits from theael
lgames, unless it is from the small per-i
'centage received from receipts from other
} attractions. ; I
! CHECKING UP ON APPLICANTS ‘
The federal government has inaugu
rated a rule that all applicants for gov
ernment positions must be finger print
'ed, the print to be filed with the appli
lcation. This plan has proved successfull
tin that it has shown that 1,635 applicantsl
lfor government jobs have criminal rec-.
‘ords. When such discoveries are made,
Ithe G-men immediately take charge and
irun down the character of crime the pros
pective applicants are guilty of. In some
tof the cases, old time offenders have been
Ishown up and their arrest made after
lyears of hiding out and evading the offi
cers. -
| The finger print system should be in-
Istalled in all police departments of the
country. In fact, it is about the only safe
way of discovering criminals and showing
absolute proof of their past records. J.
{Edgar Heoover, head ofsthe Department
}of Justice has urged the énactment by
congress of a law making it compulsory
lon the part of every citizen to be finger
iprinted, not as a means of detecting crim
linals, but as a precaution and safe guard
ifor law abiding people.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO ‘U’
Oh well, we were deprivedg;
of the pleasura of hearing the
old bell of the college ring out
a victory Saturday night, but
it was just one of those hap
penings that could not be
helped, oy
The Tennessee football club is
a Breat aggregation of players and
deserved the victory, but we hat
expected Georgia to win, and for
that reason our hopes werg shat
tered along about halfway of the
game when it appeared that Ten
nessee had the edge sufficient to
underwrite a victory. However,
there are several other games to
be played during the season anc
the Bulldogs ars bound to showa
come-back, just as they did in
the Auburn game. It was a hectic
fight from start to finish regard
less of the score. ‘
However, we were fuily re
pald, even though our advance
prediction on the game went
awry. Meeting and chatting
with so many of our friends
we had not sene in months,
was a great pleacure.
Some we had not seen in years,
and ‘- this made the afternoon one
of happiness for us. Wge do net
know of any pleasure that means
80 much 'to wus as seeing 'old
friends and Iteviving past memo
ries. One whom we were partie
ularly glad to meet was Charlie
Phinizy, former Athenian, but now
of Augusta. Since leaving Ath
ens to accept the presidency of
the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company, he has not heen a con
stant vigitor .to his _‘“old home
town”, but whenever he can find
a spare day he does not forget
Athens and his many friends here.
He is a great friend of the Univer
sity of Georgia angl never fails
to see a ‘football game where the
Bulldogs are taking part.
Then there were Charlie Cox,
United States Marshal for the
Northern District of Georgia;
Frank Scarlett, of Brunswick,
Marion Smith, of Atlanta, and
a host of others.
These old ‘‘grads” as Georgia |
were here boosting along the
Bulldogs in their losing fight for
supremacy over the Volunteers., It
was a great day after all, perfect
weather, ideal for football. Julian
Robingon, of Atlanta, an alumnus
and a great supporter of the Red
and Black, and one who never
fails to attend a Georgia game
was present. He has many friends
here, made during his college days,
who are always happy to welcome
him to Athens whether there is a
game on or just as a visitor, his
presence is a sovurce of much
pleasure to them.
So much for the footbal!
~ game and the visitors here
~ Satyrday. The next big game
~ will be with Georgia-Tech on
~ November .28, and that prom
ises to be a hum-dinger.
Tech has not done so much this
season, but whenever the Yellow
[Jackets meet the Bulldogs, they
play an inspired game as only a
rejuvinated team can do. Such a
game may be expected this year
which will be no exception to the
rule. It will be a real Georgia and
Tech football game, just as it has
been for all these years, and there
is no discount to make of either
tezam. I every member of the
Tecnh team was crippled or on the
casualty list, when the day for the
Georgia game came around every

We were much pleased te
receive a copy of Rotary News,
published by the local cluband
edited by Sam Woodk, one of
the most active Rotarians in
' ths country,
Rotary News is not only for the
members of the club, but it issent
far and near, many copies being
sent to clubs in foreign countries.
One of the recent new members of
the club is Vernon Westmoreland
McGwier, manager of the J. C.
Penney Company, of this city. In
making mention of his member
ship in the club, the News, says:
“You folks that did not seq the
letter should have read it. The
IStarkville, Mississippi, Rotary
club wrote our club that “Mickey”
had been a very valuable member
in their club, and they certainly
hated to give him wup, but since
he was coming to Athkens, they
hoped ithat wo would elect him,
and place him on the Boys' work
committee. This we saw fit to
do, and Mickey McGwier was
elected and installed a member on
September 2nd. President Weaver
placed him on the Boys'- Work
committee on probation, advising
‘him that if he didn’t make good
he would keep placing him until
he found a committee to fit him;
but we are satisfied that the Irish
man will roll up his sleeves and
make friends with the lads.
“Mickey was born on June T7th,
1907, at Decatur, Alabama, attend
ed schools at the same place, and
finished at Beaumont, Texas. Jusi
as soon as he hung wup the old
’book satchel, he began work for

But when she arose in the morn
ing the problem came rolling to
war@ her like a giant bowling ball.
She stood quite still and let it
strike her, full force, Morgan
wanted to marry her only on con
dition that she definitely rid her
self of her grandfather and Caro
line and the old negrq servants.
Only on condition that her grand
father be put in an institution, that
Caroline should become self-sup
porting in some distant city, thar
Zeke and Althy ‘and Rutherford
should be discharged without sen
timent and soon.
Kate's belief in Morgan's wisdom
still awed her. Her belief in his
love and moral rectitude still was
wrapped about her like a royal
cloak. Such thoughts were a ha
bit, emotionally created.
At breakfast she could not look
at Caroline. She tried, but the ris
ing tears made her lower her eyes
‘hastily to her plate. She thought
of Caroline in some distant place,
standing behind a counter, wrap
ping parcels. In some dingy of
fice, typing all day.
“But why not?” Kate asked her
self angrily. “Why shouldn’t Caro
line do such things? Other girls
do them. W'ell, wuppose Caroline
is a timid little home-body! All
'the more reason for her to get out
‘and met the world . . . {Morgan
Esaid the farther from home she
' goes, the better . . . Louisville won't
ldo. Morgan doesn’t want her com
ling to spend week-ends with us—
' Why should Caroline come and
,spend week-ends with us? Plenty
of other girls live in hall bed
rooms over the week-ends. Why
shouldn’t Caroline,” .
' “You aren’t eating, dear,” Caro
line said gently.
| “I am!” Kate contradicted, and
' gulped her coffee.
| Althy came in with a plate of
cornmeal batter cakes. She of
fered them to the girls with her
usual affecticnate interest in their
'appetites. “Take two-three, hon
| ey,” she urged Kate. “You look
| kinda peaked dis mornin’.”
Kate answered, “Just one,
please. I'm not very hungry.”
i She could not look at Althy,
leither. A moment later she caught
| sight of Althy’s calico-clad back,
Igoing toward the kitchen, and
tears blinded her. Kate could hear
{Zeke filling the coal box behind
‘thc stove. His legs would be bent
!a trifle from age and hard work,
yet his face would be like a
lcheery old gnome's as he sniffed
the coffec and contemplated his
breakfst. They hadn’t much sense
about wages, Althy and Zeke.
They'd been working for practi
cally nothing since Gran’dad’s
purse had been so flat. Well, get
rid of them soon, Morgan says, or
you'll be caught with a dead
weight on your hands. Morgan
knows about such things. Mor
gan’s modern. 1 mustn’'t ever let
| him know I love Althy and Zeke.
lHe’d think I was orazy . . .
Carpline asked, “Can’'t you eat
your fried apples, honey?”
“No,” Kate answered shortly. “1
don’'t think fried apples are nec
essary for breakfast. They're too
heavy. Althy and Zeke are a
| wasteful pair, if you ask me.”
Caroline was puzzled. “We
country people need a hearty
breakfast,” she said. “If you work,
you have to eat. Zeke and Althy
lalways pick up the wind-fall
iapples to cook. I don’t call thay
being wasteful.”
“Well,” Kate remarked sarcas
tically, “maybe Rutherford B. likes
fried apples for breakfast. Maybe
'they're catmng to b“ ‘Pmttfi-”
“Rutherford B. eats most any
thing he can: get,” Caroline repiieq
mystified at the ‘tutn‘of the con-!
versation. “He's not picky.”
“It's ridiculous, our having m[
keep the child,” Kate said, lower
ing her voice. “Just anothe:
mouth to fed. What good’s a ten
yeer-old colored boy, I ask you?
“Why, Kate!” Caroline protest
ed. “Whatever's got into you thisl
morning? You know why we keep |
Rutherford = B.! His step-fathe;
almost beat him to death a couplel
of years ago. Don't you remem
ber? Althy and Zeke were almost
crazy from worry over him, so
Grean’dad told them to bring hin
home with them.”
“I've’ been -trying to forget
that,” Kate said sullenly.
‘The strange answer caused Car
bline to look at her sister sharp
ly. “Honey, I believe you need—"
“Whet: we need is backbone,”
broke in Kate. “We ought to be
out hunting jobhs. That’s what |
we.ought to be doing!”
Caroline said, “I have looked for;
a Jjob, Kate. I'm always on the |
lookout. I'd like something in
Shelby if I ecan get it. I don‘tl
want to get far away from Gran’-
dad and home. I'm silly that wey. !
1 get homesick.” ‘
Kate rerlied, “There’s no such
disease as homesickness.” |
“There must be,” Carc'ine ar
gued, “because I get ft. It keepsl
you from eating and sleeping. It's
a sort of lump that comes inl
your throat and chokes you. 7
even used to feel it at the univer- |
sity sometimes. I was al\avay&l
happy when Friday came and 71
could start home for the week
end:” .oo Losß |
Kate got up and left the room.:
She felt ag if shg were on a tor
ture rack, being pulled in two di
rections. She closed her eyes for
a few moments to steel herself
more strongly against her family.
Then she went up to her grand
father's room.
The old man was sitting beside
the window 'in his dressing gown,
ihavlng his breakfast from a tray.
“Howdy, baby,” he greeted her.
“Your old gran'dad’'s goin’ to be
ship-shape before noon.”
I “Of- course’ yoll “will” ' ‘Kate
agreed. She refrained from kiss
‘ing his. forehead where his clean
pink skin met his silvery hair.
!“Did it ever occur to you, Grah’-
‘dad, that you’d be lots more com
i sortable in g modern ‘veterans’
Ihome than in this box of a house?”
E “] dare say,” replied the old
}gentlemun absently. He was but
i tering his pancakes with happy
|expectancy. “We'd all be”
| “We all aren’t eligible,” Kate
answered impatiently. “Only you.
iWould yvou consider applying for
fadmission to such a place, Gran'-
ldad?”
“Bless my soul,” said Major
Meed, peering sharply at her over
his spectacles, I wouldn't any
more think of it than I'd try to go
to Congress.”
“Maybe in a year or two,” Kate
suggested cautiously. “When you're
older and need more attention—?"
“I reckon I get plenty of atten
_]i‘ion from those of my own house
old,” said the old man reproving
ly. “If the time ever came when
1 was sick and desertéd, thep T'd
not be stubborn and stiff-necked.
I'd go. But that’'s not apt to
happen to a man like me. Not
with two gran’daughters of mY
own and a pair of faithful ser
vants right here under my owD
roof. Are you feelin’ gloomy this
fine mornin’, honey?’
Kate managed to laugh as she
turned and left him. /
After that she plunged irto
work with feverish speed. She
went to the garden and picked a
balf bushel of beans, prepared
them and canned them before
noon. .
She was silent for hours. When
Caroline ventured to say approv
ingly, “Those jars look gorgeous
Kate!” she only shook her head
impatiently. “Poor crop of beans,
Caroline. The whole garden’s 2
fajlure. That’s the Meeds for you!”
Carclina and Althy ~excharged
startled glances.
At b o'clogk Kate dressed, put
into a box all the things she had
ever received from Morgan Pren
tiss and went from the house.
She got into the sedan and drove
the four miles to town by reflex
action.
She _stopped at the Prentiss
house on West Center street and
went in. Through the screen door
she saw Morgan and Dve Elwell
in the hall.
“Oh, hello!” Morgan called out,
and opened the door for her. Both
he and Eve looked startled. “Eve
dropped by to get a book.”
To Kate, they seemed remote
and strange, like people viewed
through the small end of opfra
glasses. ILet Eve hear what she
had come to say to Morgan. What
matter? . . . “Please take this box.”
she said to him. “Your fraternity
pin's in it. And your letters and
your picture. And the bracelet
yvou gave me Christmas. 1 don’t
want you or anything that was
‘ever yours.”
She saw thai they were staring
at her strangely, in a vast sur
prise. She knew that she should
go without another word, but her
anger would not let her. She said
between her teeth, “You're 2 little
man, Morgan Prentiss. A mean,
little man with a heart like mus
tard -seed. Yowvye always been, I
suppose, but I never realized it
until today.”
Eve's cool voice cut the gilence.
“Morgan was going to tell you t 0
night, Kate, that he was through—"
“So this makes it just dandy,”
Morgan addeq suavely.
“I've no doubt you were,” Kate
said to him in a calm voice. “But
always remember I beat you to it
won’'t you? It'll keep you humble
when you get to the White House.”
She went away then, and left
them. Through her bruised heart
a feeling of relief and escape Wi~
pulsing. She only wanted to 8¢
home to Gran'dad and ~ Caroiin®
and tell them how precious they
were. She wanted to say to them
“We love each other so! We must
stick together, whatever comes!”
