A WINDOW
Alike a window looking out upon

Where ships pass up and down
the world,
And bellying sails and steamer
smoke signal me
To leave my narrow room
And search the maze of every

By sun and cloud and wind and
wave,
And far-off skies call me te g@
In lands adventuring
I do not know.
I like a window looking out upon
the sea
Where I can stand and watch
tli 6 storm
And f e ]j th e jarring thunder of
the surf
on a quiet night,
the lifting tide beneath
the stars, and in
whispering of the waters to
sands, hear the still, small
voice of Him who holds
The oceans in His hands.
I wish that there might be for
me a window where
My soul could look upon the
And know the meaning of these
Beyond things that reach so far
the range of mortal
sight—
That wonders of the infinite
might tempt me from
narrow earthly room to
search
God’s maze of mysteries and go
world adventuring
that no knows.

Tin heading ‘‘French Senat

Borrowing on life insurance
policies has decreased sharply
during the past few weeks. Al
though men have been know to
pawn life insurance to buy a
new car, it is safe to say that
jeopardizing security of that
kind generally indicates that the
policy holders vessel is badly
storm-tossed, and that the
skipper is willing to make any
available port. A reduction in
the number of applications for
policy loans shows that the gale
has spent its force, and that the
craft are being straightened up
and put on the course again.
A country blacksmith is fined

In a southern state, a lady ac
cused her husband of being

of the car, and drove to a sur

pioneer woman may be sleeping,
but anyone who thinks that it
is dead is mistaken.

Busses And Trucks
Pay Little For Use Of
Highway Claimed
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 6 (GPS) —
Commercial earners pay te
Georgia for the actual use of the
highways, which does net in
elude the gas tax common to all
vehicles, less than $140,000 a
year, according to Charles J.
Laden, prominent Atlantian,
speaking before the Traffic
Study Club here. This sum, ns

T' wlth
h
teresls, that such interests two
years the ago actually paid more to
county school systems and
for distribution to the counties
than the total axes of all the rail
roads of the state.
“The figures given for gaso
t'h 9 total*Yaymen°tsfof alfmotor
vehicles ” Mr state* Haden said “Of
these the records show
there lire 261,400. Of these 1 ,-
392 are carriers for hire, and the
remainder are in private ser
vice. That is to say barely more
than fifty-three hundredths of
„ ne per cent are in the class of
commercial carriers, paying, in
eluding gasoline tax, the aggre
gat ° claimed
“This fifty-three one hund
m) th of one per cent represents
the oversized and overloaded
group which according to the
statements of the engineering
department of the Georgia Iligh
way Commission reduces the life
of the highways of Georgia one
half.
“Farm tractors, which are for
bidden to go on the highways,
and city used trucks, which do
not, and stationary engines
which cannot, pay vastly more
of the gasoline tax^than do the
commercial motors.”
In the old stage coach day*
when the pikes were privately
owned Mr. Haden pointed out,
a vehicle carrying ten persons,
drawn by ‘ four horses, paid an
average toll of five cents a
mile Now he adds, the motor
carriers on track costs $25,000 a
mile, carrying 80 passengers, in
sist 1-cent-a-mile, etc.
Georgian In France
Compares Conditions
With America
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 6 (GPS)—
After long and close study of
the French system of liquor con
trol, which he compares with,
conditions in America, Colonel
William Henry Pritchett, United
States Marine Corps, retired, is
convinced that this country
should rid itself of what he
terms “the cancer of the 18th
amendment” as the best means
of restoring prosperity,
ing temperance and bringing
about a brand-new respect for
law and order.
Colonel Pritchett, who has
had a distinguished career as a
commanding officer in the ma
rine corps, was born and reared
at Cartersville, Ga., and garu
ated from the Georgia School of
Technology. He is now, with his
wife and daughter, Anne, mak
ing his home at the Villa
Magaud, 25 Boulevard Magnan,
in the suburbs of Nice, France.
They will return to the United
States and probably to Atlanta
for permanent residence some
time next year after theii
daughter has completed her
education in the French schools.
“The intoxicating beverages
which are specifically prohibited
in the United States by the 18th
amendment may be purchased
in France at every country store,
at every wayside inn, at every
medieval tavern, near every his
toric chateau, near every Roman
ruin, in every small town and in
every large city,” Colonel Prit
chett says, in a letter to Atlanta
relatives. “I can truthfully state
that during eighteen months of
close observation I have seen
less drunkness than I could
easily see in almost any Ameri
can city in one evening. With
but few exceptions, remarkably
few, people do not get drunk in
France. Furthermore, the tourist
as behaved a rulf, in are that remarkably well
“No traveler respect.
• in France can
fail, to be impressed by the
popularity of the ubiquitous side
wall cafe. It is interesting to ob
serve what the French order in
a country where they have an
untestricted choice of all intoxi
eating liquors. I have found that
most of them are drinking
coffee. Next in popularity comes
beer, more often the “bock”,
served in a wine glass, than the
‘demi’, which more nearly ap
proximates in size the Ameri
can conception of a glass of
beer.
“After coffee and beer comes
the mildly alcoholic aperitifs, so
beloved by the French, then ice
cream, bottled lemonade, and
mineral waters, but never
whisky or gin. Hard liquors are
ordered by foreigners. With a
cup of coffee or a glass of beer
for which he pays five cents, the
French citizen can spend an en
tire evening in a cafe talking to
friends and extracting the maxi
mum of enjoyment from life.
“Thus does unrestricted sale
of intoxicants, the horror of the
American prohibitionist, affect
the French populace. The saloon
as formerly known in the United
States is rare in France. In the
Bar’, indicating that the proprit
or is English or American
Bar’, indicating that the proper
itor is English or American,
rarely French.”
In the midst of world depres
sion, France is prosperous and
happy, according to Colonel
Pritchett. “If there is such a
thing as a bread line in France
I have not found it and I have
been looking for it eighteen
months, during which I have
covered all French territory be
tween the chilly channel ports
and the sunny shores of the
blue Mediterranean,” he ceclar
ed. “France undoubtedly feels
the depression but there is little
outward evidence of it.”
