EATING OUTDOORS
IP you have ever traded dry
meat sandwiches with a genial
Alpine guide over the hospitality
of the Swiss hospice; if you have
rested on the earthen stoop of a
white-washed cottage somewhere
In Ireland and eaten bread and
tea; lingered over a French din
ner “au Bois” with artichokes
served in hot butter sauce and
wine of ancient vintage; or put
away “hot dogs," say, at the old
county fair—we needn’t waste a
paragraph on the luxury of eat
ing outdoors. n
It’s altogether “what to do.”
The next question, then, is—how
to do it. Foods for outdoor re
freshment differ widely according
to the occasion. There are motor
trips, picnics, hikes, camping,
porch lunches, garden parties and
so on. Thus there are correct
foods for each occasion. For one
would as soon wear khaki knick
ers to a garden party, as to take
chilled gelatin salad on a hike.
Foods That “Belong”
Here is a brief classification.
"Welcome foods for a motor trip
are compactly-packed sandwiches,
package cakes, thermos jugs of
fruit juice; on a picnic, generous
ly cut sandwiches, covered jars
of delicious salads, fruits, fruit
Juices, deviled eggs and delicious
cakes; for hikes and campinc,
ready-sliced loaves of bread, sand
wich spreads, bacon and frank
furters to broil, and fruit juices;
for porch lunches and garden
parties, open-faced sandwiches
or canapes, hors d’oeuvres, fruit

cocktails, chilled salads, delicious
cakes and after-dinner candies.
Incidentally, here is anew
stunt for hikers •who like to
“travel light”—cooking on a tin
can stove. Did you ever hear of
one? A No. 3 tin can will make
a sufficiently large stove, or you
can use a lard bucket. Cut a
four-inch square out of the side
at the upper edge. Near the bot
tom on the opposite side cut an
other square hole, one and one
half inches. Turn the can upside
down on the ground and build a
fire in it. The large opening is
used for refueling and the smoke
comes out of the little hole. The
top of the stand becomes hot for
frying bacon, eggs, pancakes, or
to set a saucepan on.

LOWER HOUSE PASSES REFORM
ACT, NOW GOES TO SENATE
Reorganization of Georgia’s state
government was given the stamp ef
approval Wednesday by the house of
representatives, which pussed the
reorganization bill by a big majori
ty-
The vote was 187 to 6.
The measure reduces the state de
partments, bureaus and agencies
from 102 to 17 and abolishes more
than a score of boards and commis
sions now functioning. It goes to
the senate immediately for consider
ation.
As it passed the house the bill pro
vides, generally speaking, for the
expansion of the Department of
Audits; creation of a supervisor of
purchases; abolition of the State
Printing Department; consolidation
of the Pension Department, the Vet
erans’ Bureau and the soldiers’ ros
ter commission; abolition of the
State Board of Health and placing
the Health Department under a di
rector appointed by the governor;
merging the Departments of Fores
try, Geology and Game and Fish in
one Department of Natural Re
sources.
Creation of a board of control for
all eleemosynary institutions instead
of the various boards of trustees; es
tablishment of a board of regents to
control the University of Georgia
and its branches, abolishing the
twenty-seven boards of trustees now
existing; setting up a revenue com
mission to handle the functions now
performed by the comptroller gen
eral, the state tax commissioner, the
state revenue commissioner and the
commissioner of motor vehicle li
censes.
Putting the supervision of banks
under the secretary of state, abolish
ing the State Banking Department
and providing for liquidation of de
funct banks through the courts;
abolishing the securities commission
and putting its functions under the
secretary of state; expanding the at
torney general’s department and con
centrating the legal affairs of the
state in this office; abolition of the
State Board of Entomology and
transfer of its functions to the com
missioner of agriculture; cutting
down the public sei'vice commission
from five to three members elected
by the people for four-year terms;
revamping of the Department of
Commerce and Labor under the
three directors.
An eleventh-hour effort to renew
the battle over the abolition of the
State Board of Health, which result
ed last Friday in a victory for the
reorganization supporters, failed
when the house on a roll-call voted
110 to 75 against a motion by Rep
resentative Lindsay, of DeKalb, tp
reconsider Article 3.
The house retained in the bill the
provisions abolishing the Board of
Health and putting the department
under the present director, Dr. T.
F. Abercrombie, for a four-year
term. The department’s juridisetion
over the State Tuberculosis Sanato
rium at Alto and the School for Men
tal Defectives at Gracewood also is
terminated.
Ammendment Cuts Off Norman
Last-minute amendments cut off R.
C. Norman, the present state tax
commissioner, from the newly estab
lished Revenue Commission.
As previously adopted by the
house, the sections referring to the
Revenue Commission made Mr. Nor
man, along with R. E. Matheson,
revenue commissioner, members of
the proposed Revenue Commission of
which Comptroller General W. B.
Harrison was named chairman. Mr.
Norman and Mr. Matheson were to
serve until July 15, 1933.
It was pointed out, however, that
Mr. Norman’s term of office expires
soon, but Mr. Matheson has about
two years to serve. The authors of
the reorganization bill presented an
amendment permitting the governor
to name a member of the Revenue
Commission in place of the present
tax commissioner.
They explained that they did not
desire to extend the term of office
of an official whose term has expired
or will soon expire. Despite ob
jection, the amendment was adopted.
Another change in the bill at the
last minute was the adoption of a
new section abolishing the office of
attorney for the State Highway De
partment, and putting his duties un
der the jurisdiction of the attorney
general.
A young minister, attracted by
Sister Grace, was dining with the
family. Little Sister was talking
rapidly when the minister was about
to ask the blessing, so, turning to
the child, he said in a tone of mild
reproof, “Laura, I am about to ask
grace.”
“Well, it’s about time,” answered
Little Sister, in an equally reproving
tone. “We’ve been expecting you
to ask her for a year, and she has,
too.”—Exchange.
COTTON’S SALVATION
Fifty per cent increase in the
use of cotton for purposes of every
kind is necessary if the growers are
to make a profit on this year's crop
members of the Atlanta Rotary Club
were told by Cason J. Callawuy, of
LaGrange, president of the Ameri
can Cotton Manufacturers’ Associa
tion.
Pointing out thnt the annual con
sumption in America is only 6,000,-
000 bales, he warns that something
must be done to take care of the
hold-over of approximately 3,000,-
000 bales or a loss of more than
$600,000,000 will be in prospect at
present prices.
With tho foreign demand for
American cotton constantly lessen
ing as a result of increased produc
tion, the prosperity of the southern
planter can be assured only through
a combination of increased buying,
reduced acreage and improved meth
ods of cultivation.
The growers, heeding the omen of
foreign competition, have already
made a substantial start towards
raising less staple at a lower cost
per pound, but during the past de
cade national consumption has shown
but little increase.
Mr. Callaway strikes at the crux
of the trouble when he urges that
steps be taken to remove the im
pression among the mass of the peo
ple that cotton is a low-grade ar
ticle, and ' calls upop the textile
manufacturers to produce such im
proved products as to cause them to
pridefully label them “100 per cent
cotton.”
The national advertising cam
paigns which are constantly calling
the attention of the buyer to the
merits of fabrics made of silk, wool
and other commodities are largely
launched or backed by, the manufac
turers of those goods.
Cotton textiles should be given
the same boosting by their makers,
and thus through their beauty and
superiority for many uses, Remove
from the public mind the erroneous
impression that they are a low-grade
commodity. If this were done the
question of increased consumption
would cease to be a problem:—Atlan

GEORGIA SAWMILLS
REPORT BIG YEAR;
1,092 IN OPERATION
State forestery officials announced
Saturday that total board feet of
hardwood sawed in Georgia during
1929 was 196,411,000, while the ag
gregate amount of pine lumber
sawed was 1,386,250,000 board feet.
There were 1,692 mills reported in
operation during the year.
Of the total number of mills re
ported, however, 1,658 cut less than
5,000,000 board feet during the
year.
Only five states of twenty-one re
porting on production of yellow pine
to the Bureau of Census, Washing
ton, had an output of more than
1,000,000,000 feet each. They were
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Texas, state authorities
said.
MORNING
(By Clyde Edwin Tuck)
Serene, resplendent morning
dawns again;
Another chance to win success
is mine.
Past failures are now gone beyond
recall;
I do not for the future’s trophies
pine—
Today holds all the blessings that I
crave;
I shall not pass it in a stupid ease,
But share my good with others on
the way,
And seek the fears of others to ap
pease.
As morning smites the greening hills
of earth,
Birds, singing, build in blooming
bush and tree,
And my heart joins their lightsome
madr?gals
For duties here to be performed
by me:
I shall not falter in the heat of noon
As oh the dusty way I slowly wend,
For strength will surely come to
meet each need,
If I but trust the Master till the
end.
Although each morning brings new
tasks to me,
I still rejoice that I have work to
do,
That I was called to serve a little
while
Before the dark comes and the
fall of dew;
For I would tread achievement’s
highest steeps,
Would overcome the lion in life’3
path,
That I may share the sense of
happiness
That comes with evening’s quiet
aftermath.
HAIL STORM PLAYED HAVOC
WITH CROPS
(From Gwinnett Journal)
One of the worst and most de
structive hail storms to strike Gwin
nett county in recent years descend
ed on a section just east of Snellville
Sunday afternoon about 3.30 o’clock.
The most violent part of the storm
lay between the Snellville Baptist
church and the old Harris place, and
etxended for a distance of some
three miles in a southerly direction.
Crops in this territory were com
pletely destroyed, orchards ruined,
shade trees and timber tracts great
ly damaged, and the fields were bad
ly washed.
This was the latest date for a hail
storm we have any knowledge of.
The usual time for storms of this
kind is in either May or June, and
one past the middle of July comes at
a time when it is too late for re
planting, and the farmers of this ter
ritory must suffer a total loss of
crops this year.
Glad Snell had a mule killed by
lightning, and the wind blew a stable
down on the mule of Mrs. Minnie
Knight. Many sheds and outbuild
ings were blown away, and old roofs
were beaten to pieces by the hail.
It was a depressing sight to view this
territory after the storm, but we aro
glad to state that we have failed to
hear of any serious personal injury
to anyone, although several had
narrow escapes, notably some of
those at and returning from the Wil
liams reunion.
The Red Cross has promised aid
to those in the stricken area, and a
meeting was held at the Snellville
school auditorium Tuesday night for
the purpose of canvassing the situ
ation.
Thirty-three farmers were direct
ly affected.
KEEPING A PLEDGE
Owen Lunceford, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Overton Lunceford, who resides
about two miles west of Crawford
ville on the Atlanta-Augusta high
way received a check last week for
having lived up to a pledge he sign
ed three years ago.
The pledge is as follows:
1— To remember my accountabili
ty to my Maker, and endeavor with
God’s help to keep His command
ments and daily seek His favor.
2To be loyal to my country, to
obey the laws of the land which I
live in, or in which I may sojourn.
3To honor my parents and all to
whom honor is due.
4To be honest in all my dealings
and endeavor to observe the rule:
“Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye ever so to
them.”
5 To abstain from all intoxicat
ing drinks and harmful drugs.
6—To avoid the practice of gamb
ling in any form.
7 To shun evil companions and
avail myself of such moral and re
ligious influences as are within my
reach.
g—To cultivate those manly quali
ties which will fit me for good citi
zenship and for an honorable life.
The pledge was signed the 24th
day of May, 1928, and Mr. W. C.
Chapman, Superintendent of the
Crawfordville Baptist Sunday school,
signed it as the young man’s sponsor.
HOUSE ALL OF GLASS BEING
BUILT, BUT NOT FOR FISHES
It won’t be long now until Walter
Harrison, New York city architect,
knows just how Mr. Goldfish and his
family feel. For Mr. Harrison soon
will move into his new home—a resi
dence constructed entirely of glass—
in one of the small towns on Long
Island. The glass in the house is go
ing to be as transparent as a shop
window, but of course there will be
draperies to balk prying eyes in cer
tain parts of the home./
The walls of the glass house are
three inches thick and fireproof.
There is no basement. People who
live in glass houses, Mr. Harrison
points out, have no need for base
ments in these days of mechanical
heating and refrigeration.
The house cost about $5,000.
On the first floor of the home are
located the garage, furnace, a porch
and a storage room. On the second
floor are the kitchen, dinning room,
living room, library and bedrooms.
The third floor is an attic.
The living roohn has a ceiling 17
feet high, and its walls are entirely
of glass. At one end of the dining
room is a steel and glass table which
folds up against the wall when not
in use. The library is on a balcony
built of glass and steel and is light
ed with skylights in the flat glass
roof. The garage doors are opened
by radio.
The house is supported by six
alumninum pillars from which the
beams are swung on a cantilever
plan. It took only about six days
to put the whole structure together.
