A Thought
Peace be within thy walls, and
prosperity within they palaces.—
Ps. 122:7
I am a man of peace. God knows
how I love peace; Ibut I hope I shall
never be such a coward as to mis
take oppression for peace.—Kos

WHERE WILL THE
SCIENTIFIC MOVIE
LEAD TO ?
A movie, showing how a chicken
comes to life and develops in the
egg, is thrown on a screen by Dr.
Charles F. Herm. It reveals the
changes that take place from the
beginning of incubation until the
chicken’s heart starts beating.
This supper-scientific movie was
made by carefully removing a small
piece of the eggshell and covering
the opening with a glass window.
Then a movie camera, operated by
a time clock, every 10 minuts flash
ed a light through the window and
snapped a picture.
After 33 hours, the chick’s heart
was beating—and the camera had
taken about 200 seperate pictures,
10 minutes apart.
Then the slowly taken film is
flashed on the screen and shows
the whole process in a matter of
seconds. It’s r. reverse of tbe ultra
rapid-camera movie you’ve seen,
showing a slow-down of a golf
stroke or a pole vaulter in action.
The egg movie is in a class with sm
ilar films of a bud turning into a
flower.
Dr. Henn also exhbits movies of
oysters developing from the life
cell, and so on. Changes that can
not be observed by the human eye
even with a miscroscope, due to the
element of time, are in this way
presented so they can be studied
by scientists.
The ultra-rapid and ultra-slow
movie cameras eliminate the ele
ment of time. They apparently
bring man epnsiderabiy near an un
derstanding of the twin mysteries
•—life and death.
Such ultimately may be the great
est function of the mqvie.
No telling what the scientific
movie will lead to. Dr. Herm will
make movies showing cancer cells
attacking and destroying healthy
cells. When doctors understand
how thse cells works, they’ll be
rearer a cure. So, too, with disease
germs.
The movie a toy in the future
may be even more useful than on
tC’ttlli.g.
THE QUILL PEN:
THE FOUNTAIN PEN;
WHAT NEXT?
The quill pen has fought its last
bfttle against the steel and foun
tain pen—and lost. Philip Cooper
of London, whose company used to
ship as many as three million quill
pens at a time to t'he Indian gov
ernment, announces that they’ve
cjbit making quills.
The Southwark Ccunty Court in
England has been the last strong
hold of quill pens. The court clung
to them as a matter of sentiment,
a link with the olden days. But
even this court recently discontin
ued "quills .and adopted fountain
pens.
So dies a quaint and acient in
dustry, mighty in its day.
Such quill pens as will be made
in the future will be the decora
tive kind that are parked in a jar
of birdshot on milady’s writing
desk.
Philip Cooper gives “no market”
as the chief reason for going out
of business. Another reason is
that he no longer can find a work
man who knows art of making
them.
The craftsman involvd in mak
ing quills was intricate and re
quired a skill found in few trades.
The art ‘.vas handed down from
father to -on. As wth beating out
gold leaf, it was said that a quill
pen make? was born, not made. ‘
The quill pen served many gen
erations to whom it was the lead
ing instrument of making records
and writing letters. Its passing is
symbolic of the fate of all man
imade devices. The new and im
proved inevitably becomes the an
tiquated nad obsolete.
The fountain pen is “handier,”
but experts clai mthat the best
grade of qqqill pen—made Trim a
wild goose of Hudson Bay—is the
finest instrument for writing in
the world. These top-notch quqills
sold in hundred-lots for about 13
cents apiece—in the old days when
1,3 cents was corjjferable money.
BACK TO
CIVILIZATION
AFTER 10 YEARS
The manager of the Hudson Bay
> Company’s farthest north traidng
post is Captain George G. Cleve
, land. He’s back to civilization for
the first time in 10 years.
Cap says he’s going to return to
the country of eternal ice as fast
as he can, now that he's leoked us
over. He'll have to wait until next
spring,’ for the Arctic already is
frozen solid.
■'lt's all right to come back to
civilization for a while,” Cap ad
mits “But after you’ve seeii all
the sights, you soon get tired of it.’
A chronic city dweller probably
would say the same about the Far
North, after visiting it.
The aiplane interests Captain
Cleveland more than any of the
other things developed since he
visited civilization in 1913. He saw
a couple of the crude original
planes years ago, 'but his first
glimpse of a modern flying craft
was when two big planes, bound for
the Mackenzie River oid fields were
sored to land.
"I knew what they were, from
having seen pictures of them,” lie
said. “But the Eskimos thought
they were big birds and were terri
bly frightened when the planes ap
proached. They hid under their
blankets.” *
Another change noticed by Cap
tain Cleveland is the enormous in
crease in the number of autos in
use. When he went north 1913,
he recalls, “there were only a few
buzz-wagons around, but now the
streets arc full of them.”
He missed the war period. Would
yo'u like to trade places with him
and live close to the Northern
Lights
OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
The Brunswick News: The peo-
peopie of Georgia must hurry
if they are to conserve, preserve,
the iorests of this state. Will
ful waste makes woeful want,
and that axiom can not be dodg
ed tor a minute. This is a mo
mentous question and one that
should be given the most seri
ous thought when one contem
■ plates the destruction of the
iorests. It is a subject that de
serves serious consideration.
The Sandersville Progress: Many
cf the of Georgia
are financing new departures in
farming' interests, and are thus
recognizing the fact that the
farmers prosperity means pros
perous times for all other busi
ness underdertakings. Without
properity ior the farmers all
other enterpises must suffer.
Mutual help is what is needed in
orde to get the best result either
in farming or other pusuits.
The Brunswick News: Today the
banks of Georgia are seeking
eagerly and earnestly closer and
more intimate acquaintance with
the Georgia farmers, and, by the
same token, the Georgia farmer
have learned: that the average
Georgia bankers is not an aus
tere selfish, side-whiskered Some
body of depressing dignity and
coldness of heart. Quite the con
trary, indeed. Banks are enter
ing more and more cordially and
humanly into the every-day af
fairs of the people.
Ine Rome News-Tribune: “If Gov.
Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
seeks the Presidential nomina
tion, as it now appears that he
will, prohibition will be an issue
before the Republican National
Convention. He has made that
very clear and President Cool
idge in his address before the
conference of churhmen and cit
izens in Washington is expected
to disclose his attitude. If he
counteracts the Pinchot address
by delivering one that is equally
as vigorous in support of prohi
bition, the Pennsylvania Gover
nor’s stock will be reduced; but
if the President discloses cool
coolness, he will be marked as
an opponent by the prohibition
forces and Pinchot will go to the
convention whit’ll the temendous
dry strength behind him.
Ih e Albany Herald: Some of the
papers of the State seem to
take the view that the finding of
the legislative committee investi
gating the Georgia Department
of Agriculture was a case cf
“Brown whitewash." But the fact
should not be overlooked that a
good many of those who had
been clamoring for a chance to
show just how- bad conditions in
the Department of Agriculture
really were, failed ignominious
ly to improve their opportunity
when it finally came. It was
shown vjery clearly that Commis
sioner J. J. Brown manager to
keep all ten cf his fingers in the
Georgia political pie, but it did
not require a legislative inquiry
to establish that fact. Everybody,
knew already that as a ppractiical
politicians -Commissioner Brown
stood pretty close to the top of
the ladder in Georgia. And >t
may be remarked in passing that
he seems still to the be “sitting

PLAYMATES
We played and fought together
When we were kids of ten;
Two birdlings of a feather,
We were true buddies then.
J \
Long since we’ve changed and shifted
Around about the chart,
And slowly we have drifted
And wandered far apart.
We differ in opinions,
•Our work is not the same,
In various dominions
We’ve played a different game;
He doesn’t plan in my way,
His thoughts are strange to me,
He walks another highway,
He sails another sea.
«■
Yet, when we get together
In spite of years gone by,
We’re still of a faether,
This childhood pal and I.
Nor time nor change can smother
The love two men can know
Who loved and fought each other
So many years ago.
