LONGER SKIRTS MEAN
MORE MEN WORKING
Washington—If the women follow
laris dictates and “let ’em down"-—
the garments that used to be called
skirts—government economists here
declare that it will mean overtime
work for the mills, or, on the other
hand, it may be one solution for the
unemployment problem.
It is said that if this change in fash¬
ion spreads over the United States it
will mean an increase of 20,000,000
yards of cloth over last year’s output
*•
in the textile mills.
However, economists refuse to make
any definite statements, dubbing the
feminine temperament as being unsta¬
ble- Their point is: What will the
economic result be if the women offset
the lengthening of the skirts with a
lowering of the neck line?
PLANT THE ONION.
At a meeting of the Richmond
County Agricultural Society recently,
Mr. Audley Hill, Sr., announced the
great benefit to be derived from the
planting of onions. He stated that the
onion crop fell way below normal tjjis
season and that the market is good
for them at all times. It is his belief
that the farmers will not plant them
for fear that they will not be able to
get them off their hands, but he fur
ther stated that a great Chicago firm
has consented to send a representa¬
tive here to buy them as fast as they
can be produced, providing the farm¬
ers will get together and raise them.
Mr. Hill is trying to form a stock com¬
pany to induce the farmers to plant
onions.
Mr. Hill says that the average plant¬
er, has gotten into the rut of planting
cotton and that it is a difficult propo¬
sition to chaitge his methods of plant¬
ing. but Mr. Hill is going to strain
every effort to induce the planting of
onions and other vegetables in his
county.
The onion Is something that Geor¬
gia farmers could raise to an advan¬
tage—and yet, worlds of onions are
shipped in from other sections.
Mr. Hill’s advice is timely.
WAGE CUTTING
At the recent conference for the un¬
employed, at Washington, a strenuous
effort was made to prevent the wage
problem bobbing up. but to no avail.
It was evident cuts were the para¬
mount issue along industrial lines.
Over the feast hovered Bauquo’s
ghost.
According to statistics ccfrnpiled in
the spring the union man's wage to¬
day will buy 3 per cent more than in
1913.
To quote one who -has made a care¬
ful survey:
“Labor leaders say there is

Just now several million men are
employed and a great many more

scales are below those of the
workers. As there probably are
non-union workers than union
tnd as many union men have
compelled to withdraw from unions
cause they are out of Jobs and
pay their dues, labor leaders assert
workers of the country are
considerably worse off than they
in 3913, and that further wage cuts
this time would be likely to cause
hardship. Moreover, they contend,
is hardly justification for further cuts
at a time when living costs again are
tending upward.

A DRIVE FOR BETTER ENGLISH.
A movement is being made by the
Federation of Women’s Clubs for the
promotion of a campaign for better
speech. To that effect, the following
“To the Members of the Federated
appeal has been issued:
Clubs:
•‘‘Will you call the attention of your
members to the fact that the General
Federation of Clubs has set aside a
week for stress on the need of better
spoken English?"
Every day we are amazed at the
grammatical errors made by people oc¬
cupying places of distinction in soci¬
ety, schools, professions and various
organizations.
The beautiful quality of the South¬
ern voice is conceded,'but it is the rule
and not the exception, that these voic¬
es are uncultivated. It has been ob¬
served: That consonants are slurr¬
ed, words are trailed indistinctly
together, vowels are not differentiated
and too many of our people show
the influence exerted upon their first
■words of uneducated colored nurses.
No one who has ever been east or
west or to any part of Great Britain 1
fail to be challenged by their sharper
enunciation.
Why should this be? Why should
there be a tradition of lazy, trailing
words in the south, or of the hideously
barbaric gutter language in the streets
of New York, or of “r’s” rolled till
they scatter broadcast over all our
western praries? Do we want to justi¬
fy the sign said to be seen now and
then in foreign cities: “English spok
en. American understood?” Is there
not truly a standard English speech
and should not all people who are edu¬
cated try to conform to that standard?
How t impoverished too, is the average
person's vocabulary. If man learned
one word for every day he lives, he
would have a vocabulary of 15,000
words by the time he reached his 40th
birthday. The average man with what
is generally regarded as a good educa¬
tion, has less than 5,000 words in his
vocabulary. Thus he acquired a word
for each three days of his Studious ca¬
reer. Men and women who have not
struggled for an education are credit¬
ed with one word in each 23 days that
they have lived. This indicates that
there is plenty of room to increase
our intellectual activity.
The appeal for Better Speech con¬
cludes:
“Through speech probably nine
tenths of the complex business of mod¬
ern life is carried on; mentality is
shown by the speech; as associations
and heredity are shown by the speech.
Shall we not, therefore, set ourselves
rigorously to set a national standard
for cultivated people in America.”
EDUCATION—INDIVIDUAL
INSTRUCTION
The system of teaching in certain
schools during the past ten years has
been revolutionized, says the Syra¬
cuse. Herald. Many of the subjects are
not taught as they were a decade ago.
School officials are endeavoring to
raise the average by finding what each
child is capable of doing. They have
found that they can increase the aver¬
age of pupils, completing their work
in a grade, by more individual atten¬
tion.
Some pupils are apt in some sub¬
jects and backward in others. Gen.
Grant was poor in arithmetic, but
withal, a great general.
In the olden days much was
that was not necessary in later life.
Today it is not essential to know all
the capitols and where the rivers rise,
but how people live, what city is
great and why it is great. The square,
or cube root and duo-decimals are not
stressed as much as the fact that
arithmetic and mathematics are mind
trainers, they’re for* the pupils think¬
ing and reasoning power.
Grammar is not taught ’til fifth
grade. In the lower grades, the use of
words and the why. Familiarity with
the language is tfie essential, not the
question whether the word is WHOM
when it is the objective.
The ideal teacher grows as well as
the pupil, and in order to be success¬
ful she must possess qualities to fit
her environment with an inspirational
influence. The end and aim of educa
cation should be to make better citi¬
zens of the future in the schools of to¬
day.
NOTHING FOR THE MURPHYS
In the Rutherford postoffice the fol
lowing conversation took place:
“Anything for the Murphyc?”
“No, there is not.”
“Anything for Jane Murphy ”
“Nothing.”
“Anything for Ann Murphy ”
‘No.”
“Anything for Maggie Murphy?”
‘No.”
“Anything for Tom Murphy ”
■No.”
“Anything for Bob Murphy ”
“No, not a bit.”
“Anything for Terry Murphy ”
“No, nor Pat Mui*phy, nor Dennis
Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul
Murphy, nor for any Murphy—dead,
living, born or unborn, native or for¬
eign. civilized or uncivilized, savage or
barbarous, male or female, black or
white, franchised or unfranchised, na¬
turalized or otherwise. No there is
positively nothing for any of the Mur¬
phys, either individually, jointly, sever¬
ally, now and forever, one and Insep¬
arable."
The girl looked at the postmaster In
astonishment and said: "Please do
*■ anything for Clarence
Murphy.
RED CROSS HELPING
EX-SERVICE MEN
The Clean-Up Squad, sent out by
government agencies, the Red Cross
and the American Legion arrives in
Madison on November 17, and will es
tablish headquarters at the court house.
The squal will remain there until No¬
vember 19, during which time, the
members will work with one end in
view and that end is to get in touch
with every ex-service man who has a
claim against the government, and set
in motion the machinery to get quick
and satisfactory adjustment of that
claim.
The paramount idea of the Clean-Up
Squad is to cut red tape that has pre¬
vented hundreds of disabled veterans
and ex-service men in general from
receiving the compensation that the
government is glad to give. In this
work the Red Cross and the Legion
have every assurance from the govern¬
ment of complete and whole hearted co¬
operation.
Under the plan of campaign, the J
Squad composed of experts who are 1
thoroughly familiar with every detail
of hetail of the workings of the War
Risk Insurance Act and the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act, will get in person
al touch w'ith every man who has a
claim or who thinks he may have a
claim, take up his case as an individu¬
al proposition, avoid lengthy and nerve
wrecking correspondence—and get re¬
sults.
With that thought in view the Squad
will visit centers in every state in the
Southeast and before the campaign is
coucluded, every county in the section
will be covered. It is believed that by
bringing this opportunity right to the
doors of the veterans every man enti¬
tled to compensation, will get it and
get it speedily.
The Squad furnishes the big oppor¬
tunity for the veteran to have straight¬
ened out all his difficulties of compen¬
sation and vocational training and
medical treatment right at home. It is,
as well, the chance of many to find out
if they have claims and if they have,
to get them filed properly, so that re¬
sponse will be satisfactory and imme¬
diate.
While the squad is there, it will take
up in addition to the affairs of local
vteerans, the affairs of ex-service men
in Newton, Jasper, Putnarri and Greene
counties, as well as those of Morgan.
