CATTION'S COMMENT
BY BRUCE CATTON
m&m cathedrals of Rheims, France, destroyed
by Ger shells during tht World War and re
buiit largely through American interests, has been
re-consecrated.
Mo magnicent ceremponies! the French Cardinal
Suhard rededicated its famous aliar, before which
the kings of Krance have knclt to receive theit
cowns. Biessing its ancient walls, still bearing
the scars of war, he returned the cathedral's
sacred reiics, absent for 23 years.

the tears as cwners parted with beloved pets foi
a few amuch-needed dollars.
- But ,best news was the reaction of purchasers.
Almost without exception they not only returned
the pcts but allowed the owners to keep the money
from the sale, From a New York broker came an
offer by wire, to buy and return the “coon dog” of a

HOW MUCH WHISKY MAKES
A DRUNKEN DRIVER?
’ There is quite a diversity of opinions as
to how much whisky it takes to make an
unsafe driver. Some think that three or
four highballs is not too much for a per
son to take before attempting to drive an
automobile with safety, while others are
of the opinion that one or two highballs is
too much. However, it is a matter of
opinion, and in our belief, a person should
not take any amount or number of drinks,
before driving a car. |
At a meeting of the National Safety
Congress, Dr. Rollo N, Harger, professor
of biochemistry and toxicology at the
University of Indiana, stated that two jig
gers would make a person an unsafe
driver. In his comment before the Con
gress, Dr. Hrrger stated that “three
ounces of whisky was sufficient to fog the
br?in and render an automobile driver un
safe.” i
~ Driving automobiles while under the in
fluence of liquor is a dangerous practice.
Pouiice records show that ten to twenty
per cent of automobile accidents involv
ing fatalities and serious injuries are
traceable to the use of whisky. In fact,
it is said that a much higher per cent of
accidents is due to whisky, but that it is
impossible to secure legal proof.
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
The sixteenth annual celebration of
American Education Week will be ob
served during the week of November 7
to 13. During this period, proper pro
grams will be arranged and carried out
throughout the nation. The observance of
education week in the past has been spon
sored by the National Education Associa
tion, the American Legion and the United
States Office of Education,
In the old days, such obsbervance was
held in the schools and in various ways of
proper celebration. In- commenting on its
aims and purposes, before it was an active
and functioning organization, President
Washington, said about it as follows: “As
government gives force to public opinion,
it is essential that public opinion be en
lightened”,
Madison, the father of the Constitutiorn:.
said: “A popular government without
popular information is but the prologue to
a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both”.
Even ip those days, before education week
was 80 designated or thought of as such a
potential institution in the lives of the
people of this nation, these men had =
clear idea or “hong! t that such an organi
z?tion would prove beneficial to the peo
ple.
There is no doubt of the value of observ
ing the week of November 7 to 13 as
American Education Week. lln Athens
as well as »lsewnere, fitting and proper
exercises should be held in observance of
this all important educational week whic):
heos been officially set aside for celebra
tion. :
THE “UNWRITTEN LAW”
There is no ‘“‘unwritten law” on the
statute books of the various states, but it
is in the minds and hearts of the Ameri
can people irrespective of the section of
the nation. Within a fortnight two cases
have been decided by juries under the
“unwritten law” which has a stronger ap
peal to juries in making up their verdicts
ltha(ril do the duly constituted laws of the
and.
In New Brunswick, N. J., a few days|
ago, a young girl was on trial for mur'd'er.l
She had been betrayed by a man who at
tempted to attack her repeatedly. In self
defense she shot and killed him. She was
arrested, tried by a jury of eleven men|
and one woman. The presiding judge
charged the jury that there is no “unwrit
ten law” in New Jersey, and warned the]
jurymen of their duty as jurors. The case |
was argued and given to the jury; ,the
jury retired from the court room, consid
ered the casc from every phase and re
turned a verdict of “not guilty”, ‘
At Shelbyville, Ky., the famous murder|
case of Garr brothers, who shot and kill
‘ed General Henry H. Denhardt, retired!
army officer. General Denhardt wa 5
charged with having wronged and mur
dered the sister of the Garr brothers. The!
case had been tried some time ago, but re-%
sultd in g mistrial. The night before the
second trial was to be held, the “Garr]!
brothers feared the defense would under
[take to introduce evidence of a damaging!
|character to their dead sister. They shot
and killed the map they believed to he re
sponsible for the disgrace and death of
their sister. Two of the brothers were
tried on the charge of murder; the pre- i
siding judge discharged one and the other
was acquitted by a jury made up largely!
of farmers. The trial of the third brother |
was postponed until next February, at
which time it is not expected that the
case will be called. {
Other similar cases have been in the |
courts in various sections of the country,
resulting either in mistrials or acquittals,
all of which goes to show that no matter
what may be the laws of the states and
the procedures of the courts, the “unwrit-i
ten law” lives in the souls of men and|
women and so long as such crimes are
committed verdicts of convictions will
never be returned by the juries of this
country.
