We shall seek to carry forward our
great concept of industrial democ¬
racy, which means freedom of man¬
kind in industry through the exercise
of an effective voice in the councils
of industry—the building of an inde¬
structible and glorious industrial life
that shall make America great be¬
yond dreams. ^ But, in going forward,
we shall as in the .past, keep our feet
upon the ground, having before us the
facts of life as they present them¬

EGGHEAD’S ERICS :

'IPro^^rous NemYear I
THE NEW YEAR .this time re¬
ferred to as 1924, has arrived,
boys. Egghead knows because he
saw it with his own eyes. It pass¬
ed through the spacious dining hall
of the Hotel Griffin this morning
at seventy-five minutes past twelve
o’clock, according to the official
chronometer, or Egghead's Ingersoll.
The Young Men’s Evangelistic Club
Character Builders party was in full
sway when the little fellow, clad
in nothing mueh, passed through
Towalaga, Ralph Strickland stop¬
ped and tried to carry him ’possum
hunting.
ABOUT FIFTY members of the
♦
two clubs were present. The party
started at nine o’clock with a'
sCrumptuous, as you might say,
It was put on under the
personal supervision of J. J. Page,
Jr., popular manager of the hotel.
He, saw to it that we got a plenty
to cat, and then he passed around
cigars to the boys in the party. He
is also very considerate of your
feelings. Just imagine how embar¬
rassing it would be to make a
false move while dining out on an
occasion like that. To avoid possi¬
bility of same a booklet was pass¬
ed around oft “How to Show Good
Table Manenrs.” The booklet prov
’ed to be very valuable to most of
the party, though the elegant
Howard Burnette demonstrated that
he knew everything in it already.
FEELING SURE that the sug¬
gestions will also benefit our read¬
ers, we are passing a few of them
along:
“As you- 'approach the table make
a running jump for your chair en¬
deavoring to be the first one seat¬
ed. EverjUody will probably remark
about your wonderful agility, A
modest blush will be your only ans¬
wer; Beside your plate you will find
a square piece of linen. This is a

your collar and drape the . rest over

you can do.
44 WJHJLE EVERYBODY is wait¬
ing for everybody else to start
something, carelessly spring a few
witticisms, chuckling joyful the
while. In the best families here and
abroad one who can do thjjs is con
sidered very ‘au fait,’ quite irides¬
cent, as it were in fact ‘de bon con
duite.’
'“THE MEAL, is about to begin.
Hitch right up to the table, placing
your arms in an advantageous posi¬
tion on either side of your plate.
Keep your weather eye on your com
petitors, forgetting everything but
the work before you. Don’t let any¬
one get ahead of you. Sometimes
they start a dinner with much pickl¬
ed fish, oysters disquised in cat¬
sup, shad’s woe, et cetera ad infini¬
tum. This is a very crucial moment.
Sit back and hold tight until you
see what the others do and then
go to it with a vim.
“IF A PIECE of meat crawls off
your plate, capture it as soon as
'possible, and then gayly snap it
across the table to your vis-a-vis.
This will probably make everybody
laugh and will help to make the
meal quite merry. If you spill your
coffee in your neighbor’s lap, in
stantly assure himf that you really
didn’t care for the coffee anyway.
Tell him not mind it at all.”
THE ABOVE are only a portion of
the helpful suggestions found in
the little booklet, which is given as
compliments of the Dixie Engrav¬
ing Oo., to whom we advise you to
write if you feel that you can be
helped more. After taking dots on
the rules, the entire meal went
through without a bubble. While
waiting for the delinquent New
Year, we couldn’t help from won¬
dering iwhy Col. Johnny Spencer or
some other official of the Wthat's
In-a-Name Society had never made
mention of the fact that Mr. Jas.
J. “Page, >» Jr., is a “Hotel” man
in Griffin.
