THE ARMY AIR SERVECE A committee reports to Secretary Weeks that an alarming condition exists in the army air service, due to shortage of flying personnel and equipment. Our people hate war, but if they are going to have any army at all, they must have a modern army which shall be good as far as it goes. An efficient small army is necessary in these troublous times, to show the world that the American people have not become effeminate. The air service will do a big share of the work of the next war, and an army without a good one will not be worth much. The air force need not be large, but money enough must be spent to keep it up to date and efficient. e e it WHAT SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON Many people think that if they lived in some bigger place, the op portunities would be bigger. But as they go on, they find that success does not depend upon location, it depends upon the individual. The bigger the place, the more competi tion one has to meet, and one gets lost in the crowd. As a general rule, people do best in the environment that they grow up in. The city boy becomes used to city ways, and is usually better off to stay there and build up a busi ness in the environment he knows. Similarly the country boy becomes used to country ways, and can adapt himself to them better than to a new location. A multitude of country boys are doing well in country life today, because instead of dreaming of making fortunes in unknown scenes, they just looked around them to pick up the good chances within reach. LIFE AS A GAME Teachers, clergymen, and others who obtain a close-up view of the younger generation, feel that these people just coming on the stage of life are going to have quite different conceptions from those hitherto pre vailing. One of the ideas held by many of these young folks, is that the older generation have weighed and pond ered too much and they take life too seriously. This does not necessarily mean that the young crowd will waste any more time than their fath ers and mothers did. They have more time than their fathers and mothers did. They have more amuse ments offered them, and may seem to waste more time. Yet they are good workers, full of ambition, and deal more than the generation that is passing off the stage ever did. “I look at life as a kind of game” said one of these young fellows the other day. “It is not such a won derful thing to win, nor such a ter rible thing to lose as you seem to think it is. 1 am sick®f so much hesitating and worrying. It is better to keep acting, even if you make some mis takes. Eventually you will win out that way, because you learn every time you get thrown down.” Of course these young folks are making a lot of blunders. Many times they could avoid troubles if they would take the advice of their elders. But there is something in the way they plunge into things that arouses admiration. There are many of the older peo ple who have frittered away half their energy and wasted their pos sibilities, by their hesitaions and de liberations and inactions. What life needs is some kind of a golden pnean between the headlong rush of the young crowd, which believes in taking chances and running risks, and the over caution of the older folks, who need more of the game spirit in life. The people who won't clean up their places this fall because winter is coming so soon, won't probably be able to clean up next spring be cause then they'll be tod busy. CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS | In the early days of American de velopment, a large degree of com munity spirit was inevitable, ' Take the case of the poineers who went out from the East to settle the prai rie states, The %fl;u to pro vide cehools Of&{ dregn, moral standards, just tween-man and }mzn, means for transportation, etc, they must constantly co-operate. i So while they improved their own farms and devolped the wilderness, they were all the time working with }e‘ach other, to build up the essentials ‘ot community life. ~ But after a community becomes ;settled for a period of years, after it has ecquired some of the basic es sentials of life, there comes a tend ency for many people to lose thig sivie feeling. They have the insti tutiong that are vitally necessary to their comfort and well being, and the tendencey is for people to give their lives to just two ends, earning their own living and making money, and zoing in for sports and amusements ‘hat will give them a good time. Manifestly when a lot of people concentrate their attention on these objects, the strong desire for com munity improvement tends to fade out of their minds. That is what is the matter with a 1 lot of cities and towns today. The people or the bulk of them have no strong civie consciousness, and are not deeply interested in projects for rommunity developement. We need in Leesburg just as in most other places, a rebirth of home town pride, an intense loyalty Lo our own community, and a desire 0 see it go ahead. One of the ways ‘o promote this feeling, is to per suade people to own their own homes. The man who owns the house he lives in is more likley to »et interested in the progress of the nlace where that home is located. “PASSING THE BUCK” IN POLITICS ~ An official from another city who was serving on the board that pro vided relief for the poor of his muni cipality, once said that the most dif ficult problem he had to handle, was to make other cities and towns do their fair share of the work of sup porting those needing relief. As he looked at it, this phase of his work might be called a kind of legitimate passing of the buck. He described how he had to con tend with the officials of other. cities and towns, to determine who was responsible for this or that family that had moved from one place to another and needed help. Many rities and towns were always trying to put off on others the responsi bility for such families that had been on the move. It was a game calling for patient investigation and some cleverness and knowledge of the law governing these points. This official did not play the game in any heartless way, as his com munity was generous to poor folks, and desired to dodge no real respon sibility. But it had to look out-that no bucks were passed to it that did not belong there. So life is full of this form of competition, in which if one does not take care, one will get loaded up with many bucks which really belong to others. The game of passing the buck is played very actively in political life, though perhaps no neore so than in business. The old type of gumshoc‘ politician has been very skilful at it. He knew how to dodge respon-‘ sibilities, avoid committing himself to any great extent, and how to blame somebody else or some other party for things where he was equal ly at fault. : | The people appreciate willingness' to shoulder responsibility more than ever before. They admire a man who resolutely faces a situation that be longs to him to handle, and will make an honest try to meet it and fail, rather than be remiss in auty. 1 B o ruises— om The throb- l’/ bing ache of 3 a bad bruise A :// W Jhd 2 is @ warning ? z that delicate fibres have been injared - Sloan’s Liniment sends straight to them the increased blood supply they nced to repair them, reliev ing the pain, clearing up the con gestion.

THE FEAR OF HARD WORK There is a good deal of complaint nowadays that people are extremely afraid of doing any Lard work. Many women find this specially no rticeable. Not many houzewives now adays can afford to employ servants, but there are many who hire things done, and they find much disinelina ltion to hard work. They say that many women will not scrub a floor, or mop a porch, or go up on a step ladder, or get down on their hands and knees. The housewife may feel perfectly able to do these things, and things that by performing such active tasks, she may be preserving her physical vi gor. But that does not prove she can induce other people to do them. Such a condition is the reaction from the period when there was a tendency to overwork the women who performed household services. Many of them worked 70 hours a week or more, they had uncomfor table accomodations, and their hours ‘were irregular so they were cut off from social life. Naturally they re ibel]ed from these domestié tasks, ‘which got a bad name, so that now there is a scarcity of that kind of workers. Thus conditions have gone from one extreme to the other. It ought not to hurt people to do ’vigorous labor, if it is under healthy ‘conditions, and the hours of work are not too prolonged. People some times complain because they get lamed up while doing a job of work, ‘but they might get equally lame if they played lawn tennis. ~ People who hire help ought to be conscientious about overworking ithem. At the same time those wio ‘work must realize that men and ;women are meant to work industri ious]y and actively, and that a penal ty has to be paid by those who are 'fearful of good honest physical ef fort. * . l AMERICUS On a Return Visit THE PROGRESSIVE DOCTORS’ SPECIALIST Treating Diseases Without Surgical Operation At the Windsor Hotel Thursday, November 22nd, Office Hours: 9a m to3p m One Day Only—Returning in Three Monlhs FREE CONSULTATION The Progressive Doctors’ Special ist is licensed by the state of Geor ria; a graduate of one of the best Universities; twenty-five years of practical experience; (fourth year in Georgia) comes well recommend ed.

THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE COURTSHIPS IT WAS not long ago suggested in England that the elergy ought tc open a school for courtship. The sug gestion was made quite seriously, ag it was pointed out that msny young people meet clandestinely because they find no sympathy at home. The man who made the suggeStion seemed to think that this condition could be renkg'dted by the methods he suggested. Really it scems as if the troubls usually lay with somebody else beside the young man who is doing the court ing and the young woman who Is be ing courted. It usually lies with ap unsympathetic family., Ngbody, pes haps, can blame the family. It is ut terly unpleasant for the tired fathar to come home from a hard day at work to find that he must leave tha family living room that erening free to his daughter and a young man whg wishes to be his future son-in-law. It is far easier for father and mothes, big brother and little sisters, to di# port themselves comfortably aboul the family Hving room—and then far the young girl and her swain to meg! at the street corner and spend the evening at a moving picture show. If there is a reception room or par lor or drawing room, well and good, fer that may be put at the dispos:| of the daughters of the family, and maj be made inviting to their friends Courting days don’t last forever. Anj remember that the sacrifices you maj make now will be well repald in the greater happiness and chances fer = successful marriage that your daugh ter will have later on. - £ (@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) 1Y PINE - YOU ARE NEVER s i 1 s 5 Secure From Kire--- * But you a cecuredd from going ‘‘broke’’ aler the fire if your property is projeily insured, Others consider it better to pay little for ‘ imsurance. than to lose a lot by fire., How g . about }'4)“? 1‘ ' | representfthe most reliale Companies of ‘ Aweriea, ; R - e F.
