GEORGIA LEADS THE WAY
%?In!a'xthe paralysis, which Georgia and the nation
iave been asked to aid in conguering through an en- |
‘dowment fund for the Warm Springs Foundatlon,l
18 a local problem and A world problem. |
' Records of the Warm Springs Foundation show
that last year applications were received from vie
fims in 17 foreign countries and United States ter
pitories—from Germany, France, Austria, Roumenia,
_Czecho-Slovakia, Greece, far-away China, Brazil,
the. Argentine; from Bolivia, Cuba, Central Ameri
‘¢an mations; from Porto Rico, Mexico, Ireland, Ha
‘waii; and from Canada, came the plea for help. Al
%/dy at the hospital at Warm Springs are patients
Afrom virtually every state in the Union, The states
‘which have not been represented and those which
@mw had practically no Ppolio problems constitute
8 very small minority.
Z*}lt is impossible, of course, for the Foundation to
docord aid-treatment to patients from foreign coun
%m, since the first responsibiilty is to the citizens
‘of thig nation. :
;%m commenting on this situation, Harrison Jones,
@‘ffiuman of the state committee for the Birthday
Balls for the President and for the raising of the
SIOO,OOO endowment fund, said: “It is significant
‘that the requests from all over the world for help
in combating infantile paralysis all should be Gi
sd to a small hospital in the state of Georgia.
he hospital, being small, can accommodate comi
_paratively few patients, Meanwhile, the whole world
‘ ts at our gates, so to speak, for help in conquer
jng this disease which annually cripples and kills
thousands of children and adults.
“We have learned that infantile paralysis attacks
grown-ups as well as children. We who are parents
S
‘know with what dread we watched the epidemics
ch approached our borders last summer. We are
‘now given an opportunity to take the lead in com
"‘"‘Llng this disease by raising an endowment fund of
'sloo,ooo for the Warm Springs Foundation, Since
no one hospital can begin to care for all the patients
‘stricken with this malady, it is obvious that our
.present safety and the safety of our children in the
I« ure must depend upon what We, as the present!
eitizens, do toward subscribing money to perpetu
ate the research work which the Warm Springs
Foundation is doing; because in research and the
final solution of this problem of infantile paralysis
through a preventive and cure lies our saftey. 1
j;'hdt believe that the people of Georgia will fa,n!
in this duty.” I
~ In substantiation of Mr. Jones statement regarding
the local, national, and international problem of in
fantile paralysis, the records of the Foundation show
that the Georgia State Department of® Health, that
local departments and therapists have visited Warm
Springs for observation and information,

Studying Warm Springs' methods and took back a

visitor was Dr. Oskar Baudisch of Saratoga Springs,

GUARD AGAINST INFLUENZA
- While there is no epidemic of influenza
in Georgia at the present time, it is liable
to break out and become serious. In other
sections of the nation, even in the adja
cent states, the spread of flu has grown
to the stage of epidemics, taking as a toll
hundreds of lives, When once this dread
disease gains a hold on the populace of ai
community, it is practically impossible to
control it, and only until it has spent its‘
course are the people free from its rav-
Dr. Daniel Bowdoin, of the state board
of health, has issued a warning to the
people of this state suggesting twelve
rules that should be adhered to in the
prevention of influenza. If these suggest
ions of Dr. Bowdoin are followed, no
doubt, they will aid materially in warding
off this infecticous and contagious dis
ease.
The rules as outlined by Dr. Bowdoin
are as follows:
tay away from people with colds.
“2. Keep your body in good condition
by eating .the right kinds of food and
sleeping at least eight of every 24 hours,
a}r;.d by exercising out of doors in the sun
shine.
“3, Train your skin to stand changes in
temperature by frequent bathing.
“4. Wear sensible clothing.
“5. Keep your feet warm and dry.
“6. Breathe through your nose.
“7 Have diseased tonsils, adenoids,
and bad teeth treated or removed.
~ “8, Wash your hands with soap and
water frequently, particularly before
meals. :
~ “9, Live and work in well ventilated
rooms.
~ “10. Take every precaution to prevent
taking cold. o
“11. Cool off gradually.
“12. See a doctor if you keep on taking
cold in spite of taking care of yourself.”
In 1921, this city experienced a severe
epidemic of influenza. Numbers of deaths
of local citizens occurred. Its control was
Leyond all local agencies and for weeks
it spread into the homes of hundreds of
families, spending its course, but not un
til many lives had been taken as a toll
Every precaution should be taken by our
people to avoid contracting this deadly
disease. Practice and follow the suggest
jons offered by the officers of the state
health department, and in every way co
operate with them in their efforts to ward
off an epidemic in this state.
THE SENATE IS DEMOCRATIC
The time honored custom of the mem~l
bers of the United States senate wearing
Prince Albert coats, silk hats, gold
headed walking canes and strutting as‘
they walked down the aisles to their seats.
has pased. There was a time when dis
agreements arose between senators over
‘isues before that august body, and per
sonalities were injected and ill feelings
‘harbored throughout the session, often re
sulting in personal difficulties.
~ Now, however, the attitude of senators
towards each other has changed entirely
and when issues arise, over which there
are differencés of opinions, the members
argue their points and there the differ
ences are left to rest. Democrats and Re
publicans no longer envy each other or
allow prejudices to enter "between them
selves in the procedure of legislation, but
the views and opinions of the members of
both parties are recognized and respected
by each other.
In an Associated Press news item, of
last week, it was stated that “Senator
Robinson entered the chamber in laugh
ing conversation with Senator Vanden
berg, prominent Republican. Senator
Glass of Virginia and Senator Nye of
North Dakota, who figured in one of last
session’s most pointed personal ex
changes, created a flurry by cordially
shaking hands.” . |
In the cloak rooms of both houses, con
gressmen and senators meet after debate
and thrash out their differences in opin
jons without the least feeling of bitter
nei?s. Unlike the days of earlier history,
when fights on the floors of both the up
per and lower houses were common OcC
currences. Along with that feeling came
the abolition of the frock coat, silk hat
and walking cane. The dignified fashion
has passed, and the dress of the present
day congressman and senator is in keep
ing with the dress of the average business
man.
The improvement in the lives of con
gressmen and senators is refreshing—
that is, as to their dress and manner of
conduct when on the floor of either house
in argument, speaking for or against
whatever the issue may be. No more feuds
or wars and ill feeling lasting years and
years between these distinguished repre
sentatives of the people from all sections
of the nation. A happy and decidedly bet
ter solution for the settlement of differ
ences of opinions.
The car should be driven at least a half
hour before changing oil. If this is done,
the lubricant is warmed up sufficiently to
permit its free passage from the crank
case, carying with it more sludge and
grime than would be possible if it were
cold.
Mount Rainier, Washington, one of the
highest peaks in continental United States,
was once a voleano. It was discovered in
1793 by Vancouver, who disregarded its
Indian name of Tacoma, and named-it
after Admiral Rainier of the British navy.
The first silk mill in the United States
was erected in 1810 at Mansfield, Conn.,
by Rodney and Horatio Hanks.
Johann Gutgnberg printed nearly 300
Bibles on his first run. .

Who'’s Who in America con-
tains the names of men and
women who have attained
prominence in professions,
business and industry, with
concise biographies.
The first edition of Who's Who
in America appeared in 1899,
Since that time it has experienced
a remarkable growth in circula
tion and in volume. It is issued
biennial with corrections, .caused
by death or otherwise and mnew
sketches added. The next issue
will appear in 1938 which will
also include 1939. The information
contained in this book is of great
value to the public and especial
ly to the school children and col
lege students.
The new year holds out
encouraging hopas for a won
tinuance of better times and
an improvement over condi
tions experienced in 1936.
One of the greatest troubles
with our people is habit forming.
Once a habit gets a hold on a
persofi, it is hard to shake off.
For instance; it is quite evident
that many citizens have fallen into
a pessimistic habit—seeing only
the dark side of business condi
tions, when a matter of fact, eon
ditions have improved beyond the
fondest hopes or expectation.
When asked, “how is business,"
instead of replying, “bad” give an
optimistic answer, and say, “fine
and getting better every day.”
Such a spirit will contriute much
to bringing back and keeping im
provements growing. Times are
better than they have been in
years. Every line of business is
prospering and soon, if the opti
mistic spirit is kept alive, we will
soon forget that there ever was
a period of depression.
Master—"Hoskins, the cook
tells me that you were badly
intoxicated last night and that
you wer: trying to rolll a bar
rel out of the basement Can
this be true?”
Hoskins—“Yes, sir!”
Master—*“And where was I dur
ing this time?”
Hoskins—"“ln the barrel, sir.”
A Balanced Budget-Message
GEORGIA LEADS THE
WAY
(Continued from Column 1)
Warm Springs foundation research
seemingly Inevitable epidemi:zs- of
infantile paralysis will be met next
summer by trained groups, of the
United States Public Health Ser-
}vlce, who will move into each and
‘and community where the problem
Ibecomes acute, and attack the epi
‘demic with the latest methods de
:,Vloped by the research institutions.
"Serums, vaccines, and nasal sprays
have been used in the past two
ears, These results are being
checked, the treatment improved,
)and next year the work will be
‘more effective.
5 “Certainly any community in
§Georgia would feel easier and safer
knowing that should an epidemic
of this disease strike them, that
trained men would be available to
assist them in eliminating the epi
demic from their community.”
Georgia will celebrate with the
nation the birthday of the Presi
dent on the evening of January 30.
Géorgia will join with the rest of
the nation in presenting in many
of its cities Birthday Balls in honor
of the President, Money from these
balls in Georgia will go to the en
dowment fund which Georgia has
been asked to raise. The quota for
Georgia, as announced before, is
§100,000." Once Georgia has raised
that amount, the other 47 statesi
will be asked to join Georgia by
raising their quotas. ‘
The active campaign and solici—l
tation for the Birthday Balls willl‘
begin within a few 'days, Repre
sentative citizens in every city are'
assuming the task of either pre
senting a Birthday Ball or assisting'
through other methods in the en
dowment campaign. ‘
During the past two weeks,
the weather was depressing
but at the same time, it was
not as damaging to business as
would have been snow and
sleet storms.
Weather conditions are uncon
trolable, and “we the people,” have
no way of changing or otherwise
discontinuing the program, so why
complain? We may have a short
business on some of the rainy
days, but the “stay-at-homes” will
come out when the sun shines
and buy just as much as they
would have bought had the weath
er been favorable. A kind Provi
dence controls and it may be de
pended an equitable adjustment
will be made of the good and bad
days #n Dbusiness, evening them
up, and in the sum total, no one
loses on the deal. It works out
fair and just to all, whether de
served or not.
Around at the court house
today, the usual crowd assem
bled and the coffee drinkers
took out time to take their
morning and afternoon sip.
Broadus Coile, deputy clerk of
the courts of this county and dean
of the club of official coffee
drinkers, invited his assoriates
and some outside of the official
family to drink with him. So far
as we know, no one refused the
invitation, but if the porular depu
ty clerk keeps up such a pro
gram, he is bound to bankrupt
himself. However, judging from
his smiles, he is never happier
than when he is surrounded by his
friends, wether sipring coffee or
just gossiping about things that
do or do mot happen. At any rate,
Broadus is a “100 per cent” good
fellow and = deserves to have
friends and all the good thins in
lite. | S L "

FAST FOOTWORK
TULSA, Okla—lt may not be
stylish, but Margaret Bell Ferring
ton, 17, knows it is convenient at
times to wear boots that are
slightly too large.
At a zoo here she stuck the toe
of her riding boot into a spotted
leopard’s cage. The animal took
a savage bite.
Happily, the boot was “just
enough too big to let my foot out
easily and quicMly,” said Miss
Ferrington. Keepers found tattered
remnants of the beot in the cage.

Gautier is the toast of Paris in
18468, One evening, at the theatre,
she meets young Armand Duval,
who has long loved her secretly.
But though her heart goes out
to him, she leaves, later, with the
rich and powerful Baron de
Varville. Seven months later, she
and Armand meet again. Their
love sweeps them off their feet.
Marguerite’s health i 8 poor and
Armand asks her to go to the
country with him for the sum

amazement, he demands that she
give wp her rich “patron”, de
Varville. !

Slowly, Marguerite sank into a
chair. “You are difficult! The other
night you were willing to ?romise
anything, everything, if I'd love

He pluflged to his knees beside

he hung in his arms, limp. Then
slowly, the meaning, the full import
of his words seeped through. To be
a girl again, to laugh, to play, to be
free. Her arms stole around his
neck. “I will, oh, I will!” A gasping
breath. ‘“But remember it’s not
the present one has to worry about
— it'’s the future and the past.”
He picked her up and held her
like a child. “We'll forget the past,”
he asserted triumphantly. “and let
the future take care of itself. All
that matters is that we love each
other now.”
The dear cadence of his voice
still rang in her ears as she paced
the floor of her salon that evening.
So much to clear up, so much to
plan, she thought restlessly.

Marguerite chafed her cold wrists
and sat down at her desk. “Well,
don’t look as if there weren’t forty
thou..and francs in the world.”
Determinedly, Nanine approach
ed her. “I'm worried, I can tell you
that. Throwing your cap over the
windmill like this, means trouble.
You’ll see.”
“Shh.” Marguerite had heard de
Varville’'s step in the outer hall.
She looked ‘319 feigning surprise.
“Oh, hullo. ell me, aren’'t all
these accounts in beautiful order?
Plgn;t you think me very business
ike?”
“Very,” he said dryly, eyes nar
rowed. “But why?”
She " tilted her head to one side.
“Because I've decided that these
bills ought to be paid. I need forty
thousand francs. Are you going to
lend me the money?”

MNO."
“Oh but,” a charming gesture of
helplessness, “what shall I do?”
Grimly, he folded his arms over
his chest. “Come to Russia with
me and you can have as much
money. as you necd.”
‘ Still playing out the little game,
she made a vpetulant moue. “If
}'ou’re my friend, why won't you
end it to me, anyhow?”
“Because then you might have no
further use for me,” he retorted
candidly.
They both laughed, without
mirth.
She stood before him, poised for
ward a little. Her eyes were opaque
with vexation. “I don’t think you're
very generous.”
“Prudence tells me you plan to
go to the country this summer.”
Her head snapped up. So it was
out. He knew, had probably been
toying with her, relishing the little
comedy. “All dressmakers talk too
much,” she said shortly.
“Living quietly two or three
months in the country,” he contin
ued sardonically, “obeying your doc
tor's orders, sounds an admirable
idea but extremely unlike you.”
He added, deliberately, “It’s become
a question of either avoiding you
or taking you out of this. life al
together.”
“And what would you do with
me?” she asked indifferently. “Lock
me up in that gloomy chateau
you've got somewhere?”
“I might,” he said with unexpect
‘ed earnestness. Then, bitterly, “No
one has to tell me you've found a

consolation is that I'm well rid of
such a fool.”
She held her breath as he seated
himself at the desk and picked up
the pen. Was it to be 86 easy in
spite of what he knew? How unlike
the man.
He rose and stood before her stif
fly. “Here i 3 & draft for the forty
thousand francs you need, But it's
my last act of consideration. If we
ever meet again, it will be on 3
different /basis. I never make the
same mistake twice.”
Relaxed now, she said:indulgent

you know. Have a good time in
Russia and thank you 86 much.”

cheek. Ly 3
Then, with devastating sudden
ness, his hand shot out and he slap
ped her square across the face. She
reeled back, falling to one knee
and great tearing sobs ripped from
hey throat,. .. =~ .. . 4
~ Unhurriedly, de Varville left the
room. e
Huddled on the floor, her sobs
subsided into weak, miserable
whimperings, not ceasing until Nan
ine had picked up her spent form
and placed it on the couch.
Two mornings later however,
the episode had been forgotten and
Marguerite's face glowed with an in
ner radiance, as she stood in her
calon, surrounded by her luggage.
The furniture had been covered for
the summer, the shutters closed
against; the sunlight. :
“Well,” Prudence said angrily, “so
you're off today. A fine thing, I
must say, quarreling with the Bar
on.” She rattled on, “Still, I sup
pose this Armand Duval must have
something since he was starting off
to see the world a few days ago
and travelling is very dear.”
Marguerite nodded and chuckled.
“Yes, he was going to see the world,
on four thousand francs!”
What a baby her Armand was.
She had had to be very business
like and keep half of de Varville's
money for herself so that there
would be enough to live on this
summer. A shadow fell on her face.
In all her arrangements these last
two days she had had to go behind
Armand’s back so that he would
{xot guess the price of this adven
ure. !
Prudence looked at her malici
ously. “Well, all T have to say is,
this holiday of yours may be going
to cost you a great deal mora
than you expect. By the way, what
about your jewels, your horses?
Better give them to me to sell

ous to get her hands on as much as
possible so that she could extract
a portion for herself. There would
be plenty of time to start selling
her treasurcs when she had to.
“I'm taking them with me,” she
said irritably. Then her face lighted
up as Pi-udyence' scamstress, littl
Nichette, ran in. She was followed
by a thin, blonde man, smiling dif
fidently. :
Marguerite made an exclamation
of pleasure. So Nichette had finally
brought Gustave, even if it was just
to say good-bye.
Shyly, Nichette introduced hes
fiance and in a few moments they
were all chatting like old friends.
Then the carriage was there and
it was time for Marguerite to leaves .
She turned to Gustave. “Wait. §
ttxaven't congratulated you yet, Gus®
ave.”
“On what, Madame?” he asked
politely.
_““On going to be a lawyer so 5000
silly,” Nichette giggled.
“No.” A winsome smile played o®
Marguerite’s lips. “On having Nich
ette’s love, Take good care of it
always.” :

“Whatever it is,” Marguerite told
her richly, “it's something I've never

“Nor 1,” Armand said. s
