SILENT TRIBUTE IS
PAID BY BOY SCOUTS
DEATH OF HARDING A GREAT
LOSS TO MOVEMENT. WAS
HONORARY PRESIDENT.
The flags of 21,500 Scout troops are
at hali-staff in silent tribute to the
memory of the nation’s head and hon
orary commander-in-chief of the Boy
Scouts of America. On several thous
and of the standards, coupled with
crepe, fly the president’s streamers of
red, white and blue, Mr. Harding’s
gift to the troops increasing their
membership in the recent scout round
up—treasured mementoes of his warm
sympathy and active support of the
B(}v Scout movement.
‘No man in public life has meant
so much or done so much for scout
ing as the late President Harding as
honorary president of the Boy Scouts
of America,” states Chief Scout Ex
ecutive James [E. West.
From west to east Boy Scouts
stood at attention in respect to the
memory of the dead president, as the
train bearing the body of this great
hearted leader and devoted supporter
passed on 4ts sad and impressive
journey to‘he nation’s capitol. |
At practically every station in city,
town and ,countryside on the route of|
the funeral train, regardless of hour
or whether a stop was made, the
Scout contingent, usually the length
of the train, was drawn up. Where
stops were made an offering of wild
flowers, gathered by the scouts and
symbalic of the outdoor life of scout
ing, was placed aboard.
“The transcontinental spectacle of
Boy Scouts, representing the same
high ideals of character and citizen
ship which near and far endeared
Warren G. Harding as a man as well
as a nation’s leader, bidding a last
good-bye to the mortal remains of the
man who both as head of their coun
try and as honorary president of their
great organization had made himself
loved by them, was a most impressive
one,” states an observer,
In San Francisco twenty scouts of
Eagle rank escorted the funeral cor
tege. In Washington the tribute of
esteem was rededicated by Colin H.
Livingstone, president of the Boy
Scouts of America, James E. West,
chief scout executive, other scout of
ficials and a delegation of scouts, to
whom a special place in the funeral
services was assigned.
Boy Scouts have cherished memo
ries in the repeated manifestations of
both the President and Mrs. Harding
as to their keen appreciation of the
fundamental values of scouting in
character building and citizenship
training. The annals of the Boy
Scouts of America contain no finer
tribute than Mrs. Harding’s request
that the scouts be included in all ar
rangements on the recent trip, for
guarding the presidential party, be
cause as she expressed it she always
felt better when the scouts were pres
ent.
The following telegram was dis
patched to Mrs. Harding from the
national office upon receipt of infor
mation of the president’s death:
“Boy Scouts of America six hun
dred eighteen thousand scattered ev
erywhere are especially thoughtful of
vou in this hour of bereavement. Pray
that you will be sustained in strength
and courage. Not only have we lost
the president of our country but an
unusually sympathetic and helpful
honorary president and friend of our
organization. Believing it will have
your approval we are arranging for
a Boy Scout guard of honor at each
railroad station through which your
train will pass. James E. West, *chief
scout executive, Boy Scouts of Amer
ica”
His Death Terminates Round-Up.
The national office, Boy Scouts of
America, has announced that in view
of the death of the late President
Harding the round-up which was be
ing conducted by the organization to
secure 100,000 members net increase
has been brought to an end.
This round-up was one of the many
evidences of the practical interest of
President Harding in the work of the
Boy Scouts of America. Under the
conditions of the round-up eifort the
president was awarding a streamer to
each troop and to each local council,
and presenting a personal letter to the
president of every local council earn
ing 25 per cent increase in member
ship over a stated time.

Milady’s High Heels Are Turning
Her Foot to Hoof, So Doctors Say
Convention Splits on Whether It Is Chiropodist or Podiatrist, But They
Agree Dame Fashion Is Giving Evolution a New Lease on Life.
Whether they should be designated
as chiropodists or podiatrists is a mat
ter of acute dispute among those who
practice that science, it was disclosed
yesterday. Also, they are considerably
at odds as to whether the Indian moc
casin or the steel-shanked brogan con
tributes most to the progress of man
kind.
Be that as it may, the country’s
caretakers of pedal extremities are
unanimously agreed as to one subject,
at least, and that is the high heel.
This, to the chiropodist, or podiatrist
—as you prefer—is what Brutus was
to Caesar, or Cato to Carthage, or
Will Hohenzollern to the peace 01
Europe. 1f milady doesn’t cut ’‘em
out. it was learned, evolution’s going
to get all her pretty little pink toes,
and then where will the chiropodists
or podiatrists be?
Women Are Getting Well’ “Heeled.”
Such was found to be the opinion
of the twelfth annual convention of
the National Association of Chiropo
‘dists as it began its session Thursday‘
in the Hotel Astor, at New York. The
convention, it was announced, will
spend tour days in considering every
thing there is to be considered about
the human foot.
“We have our little disagreements,”
said Dr. W. V. Ramsburg, president
of the association, “but we all believe
that high heels must go. Just as evo
lution has brought down our present
day feet to us from the antediluvian
lizard, so are high heels today assist
ing evolution to change the shape of
milady’s foot.
“Already, because of them, she is
ATTACKS RADICALS’
CURES AND NOSTRUMS
USE DEPRESSED CONDITIONS
TO FURTHER THEIR OWN
POLITICAL AMBITIONS.
CHICAGO, Ill.—" Radical politi
cians, giving nothing, use the depress
ed condition the farmers are in to
promote their own personal political
ambitions. The cures and nostrums
they recommend are really against
the interests of the farmers.”
This was the keynote of an address
made today at the interstate mer
chants’ council, attended by more than
600 leading merchants from 38 states.
President Paul Davis, of Waterloo,
Ta., said:
“The trouble is the farmer has been
over-producing and the market for
his products has been cut down by the
bad conditions in foreign countries.
Only the working. of old supply and
demand can better his lot, not the
radical preaching by selfish politi¢ians.
Equalizing the earning power of the
farmer and the plumber or bricklayer
would solve the problem, but how is
it to. be done? |
“The farmer knows' something is
wrong when he finds it takes 16 to
IZO bushels of his wheat to pay a car
penter or bricklayer for one short day
of inferior work. He also is discour
aged on visits to the city when he
pays for a pair of shoes practically
what he gets for the entire steer or
cow, or strays into a restaurant and
pays for one small beef steak as much
as he gets for two bushels of corn or
a bushel and a half of wheat.”
The delegates said too much time
was being spent in trying to read the
future and trying out a lot of political
nostrums. This wasted energy should
be devoted to putting all business on
!a sound basis, thus protecting the fu
ture.
COLUMBUS ROTARIANS TO
LEND MONEY TO STUDENTS
COLUMBUS, Ga.—Columbus Ro
tarians are backing a unique philan
thropic enterprise. A fund was start
ed some months ago for the purpose
of aiding deserving and worthy boys
in obtaining an education. The fund
at present totals $2,260. Money from
this fund is loaned to boys to aid
them in securing a college education
and only to those boys thu have
shown an aptitude for learning and
who have no other visible means for
such purpose.
’devclopiug a callous on the ball of the
foot, which is in effect a heel in it
rsclf. Quite aside from the fact that
having four heels to two is most un
fair to man, this sort of thing, if kept
‘up many more generations, is going
to cause her to have a hoof instead of
‘2’ foot."
“In which case, the rules of evolu
tion being strictly adhered to,” in
quired Dr. Ramsburg’s _interviewer,
“will she moo like a cow?”
“Exactly,” replied the chiropodists’
leader. “Or bas like a lamb. Which,
I think vou will agree, would be most
cruel and unusual.”
Classical Greeks Enter Controversy.
The chiropodist-podiatrist contro
versy, it was learned, has divided the
convention into two hostile camps.
“Unquestionably we would call our
selves podiatrists,” said Dr. J. Mau
rice Lowy, who heads that faction.
“‘Pod’ is classic Greek for ‘foot.” It’s
far more dignified than ‘chiropodist.””
“Dan’t you believe it.” said + Dy,
Emanuel de Muer, leader of the op
posing group. “As every one knows,
‘chiro’ is old Greek for ‘hand.” There
fore, ‘chiropodist’ means ‘one who
use his hands to treat the feet” What
would you think of an eye, ear, nose
and throat specialist who called him
self an ‘opthalmoaut or inolaryggo
los?” Bosh. A podiatrist is merely a
chiropodist putting on airs.”
The question is likely to'be debated
in the convention, it was said, as will
the problem of whether the “flexible”
or “stiff-shanked” shoe is best for
modern urban civilization. The pro
ponents of each attack the other as
“responsible for flat feet.”
HIGH TRIBUTE T 0
HARDING BY BRYAN
COMMONER SAYS THE LATE
PRESIDENT LEFT A NAME
THAT WILL NEVER DIE. |
MIAMI, Fla—Warren G. Harding
left a name that will not die,” declared
William Jennings Bryan in the course
of his address delivered here at me
morial services for the late president
conducted under the auspices of the
American Legion.
“His friends, who were many, lov
ed him; he was a friendly soul; he
took delight in doing kindly things;
it pained him to offend or even to
be thought indifferent to the wishes
of another. We have never had in the
white house a man whose gehial dis
position was more contagicus; you
could not help being attached to him,
however much your convictions on
matters of public policy may have dif
fered from his.
“Mr. Harding took a position on
public questions as they arose and
he did not hesitate to make his posi
tion known, welcoming any risk that
his utterances might invite. His
speeches and messages showed growth
in breadth and depth and earnestness.
His oration at the funeral of the ‘Un
known Soldier’ will stand among mas
terpieces of our orators. The entire
citizenship of the United States came
to respect him, not merely because of
the exalted office to which he was
lifted by the confidence of his coun
trymen, but also because he gave con
vincing proof of his patriotism, his
public spirit and his conscientious de
votion to duty.”
Lightning Rods Are
- Now Turning to Worms
Sheriff of Randolph County Has Made
Interesting Discovery. |
Gentle reader have yo noticed thatl
lightning rods, once so plentiful in
this section, are rapidly disappearing?
Such is the case, we are informed;
and it is doubtful if the average citi
zen knows why.
According to officers of the law
the Volstead act is responsible for‘
‘this. Lightning rods consist principal-
Iy of small copper pipes, which ingeni
ous individual desirous of profiting by
’pzmdcring to the perverted taste of
those who hope the country will nev
er “go dry” have foynd can be neatly
converted into worms to be used in
distilling corn. and other products.
Sheriff Taylor says lightning rods
in this county are few and far be
tween. The inference is that the man
ufacture of “white lightning” by the
use of lightning rods (sounds very ap
propriate, doesn’t it?) is rather exten=
sive in this section.—Cuthbert Leader.

THE DAWSON NEWS
MANY MEASURES IN
LEGISLATIVE MORGUE
ONLY 23 OF THEM SURVIVED
SCRUTINY OF SOLONS AT
RECENT SESSION.
Representative W. B. Parks, who
reached home Friday morning from
Atlanta, reports that the session of
the legislature which has just ad
journed, while unusually strenuous,
was the most barren of results of any
he has ever known.
Out of 595 bills introduced in the
house of representatives during the
1923 session and 150 introduced in
the senate only twenty-three meas
ures of general application were ap
proved by both houses of the IegisIa

ture and submitted to Governor Walk
er for his signaturc. Many important
The outstanding measures that were
not passed during the session just
ended were the biennial sessions bill;
the bill to provide for a state auditor;
the general tax act that would have
increased ‘the state’s revenues an addi
tional $1,500,000 or $2,000,000, and the
repeal of the tax equalization law,
which would have reduced the reve
nues of the state a million dollars, ac
cording to unofficial cstimates. The
tax equalization bill was never report
ed out of the senate committee, after
passing the house, while the general
tax act was ordercd shelved for the
year by the senate finance committee.
The senate passed the income tax
bill of Semator l.ankford, but the
house refused to approve it, the meas
ure being reported out by substitute
and then tabled. An investigation of
the highway department was author
ized and conducted and the report ex
onerating the highway commission of
any mismanagement was adopted
and an investigation of the depart
ment of agriculture was authorized to
be conducted within the next sixty
five days. The resolution to investi
gate the state public service commis
sion got no further than the lower
house, where it was introduced.
Two new judicial circuits were
created, the Piedmont and Griffin cir
cuits, and an additional judge was
voted the Atlanta circuit, while the
proposed Bleckley circuit in north
Georgia was defeated. °

The Buick
Double-Service Sed
Another 1924 Buick innovation— this six-cylinder double-service
sedan— has been especially created for those who wish a combined
practical business car and family sedan.
Tts upholstery is comfortable, yet sufficiently serviceable to with
stand severe daily usage. The power provided by its new Buick
70 H. P. valve-in-head motor is more than enough to carfy it over
the heaviest roads. Its staunch Buick four-wheel brakes assure
ample safety whatever the driving conditions.
The admiration which you may feel for its service utility will be
matched by the pride which your family will take in its comfort
and suitability. :
