Local Methodists are especially in- ■ --rested—this month in the gloat pro-' cram which is now engaging the thought of all Southern Methodism. At least two million cluircb people are thinking along the line of Christian • lucation. A movement vital to all of ou men tion is the “Christian Education ?Ipvement.' It is designed to lay em phasis on the imperative need of Christian schools}, the proper equip ment and enlargement of our educa tional institutions, the training of teachers ahd ppeachers for leadership in church and state, the increased ef ficiency of the Sunday schools, the saving of our nation from the blight of bolshevism, the promulgation of the truth as it is in Christ. America has a reputation around the world for being a commercialized nation. It sometimes seems as if the criticism is deserved. We estimate nearly everything in terms of money, And in many sections the rankest sort of materialism predominates. A re cent survey showed that 60 per cent of the professors and half the ad vanced students in great secular col leges deny both the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. Cer tainly a dangerous trail. With what the Southern Baptists, Southern Meth odists and Southern Presbyterians are .doing to correct these evils, the day isn't far distant when'through their movement there will be a return to safe and sane thinking and the world a better place to live in. Every dollar invested in Christian education will bear ample interest in well-trained young men and women whoWe chief aim will be to glorify God and to be of service to their fellowmen.

Fluttering and dancing in the breeeze. \ —Wordsworth. WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER. P LANNING the family meals is not a task to he spoken of lightly, for it means much thinking, planning and economy.

May 4th, the people of Douglasville were given a rare treat by members and friends of the Y. W. C. A. of Marietta. Three one-act plays were presented at tlie College auditorium here, and those who.were so fortiynate as to see them, feel very much* indebted to the Y. W. C. A. at Marietta for an . veiling of good, wholesome fun and entertain ment. Each play was well staged and every character won Yhe audience with their unusual charm and natural ness of manner. Much credit is due Mrs. W. E. Ben son, the director, for her skilful train ing and management. Words of praise and commendation are heard from the lips of .every one who saw the plays presented, and the people of Douglas- Lfrille will gladly welcome another visit from the gootl people of Marietta. I t C. A. PLAYS II The play, “Three Fills in a Bottle,” presented here last Thursday evening by the Drama Council of the Mari etta Y. W. C. A. made a decided hit / with the large audience which wit nessed the performance at the audi torium. Although the members of the com pany arK all afnateurs yon wouldn't ' guess it after an evening’s delightful entertainment such as they gave in “Three Pills in a Bottle.” And while' the Marietta company would win the approval of any audience on sheet? merit and cleverness in weaving the many tense situations, both gripping and ludicrous, they couldn’t have se lected a better vehicle on which to carry out a couple of hours good act ing than “Three Pills in a Bottle.” It is hardly necessary to mention the different players by name as they jue firmly fixed in the memories pf> all ho saw the play ,and to the unfor tunate ones who did not attend it ■vould only add to their regrets to Iwell further upon what they missed.

Roumania was unable to deliver ■grain to Poland because of luck of usable rolling stock. This grain is milled Into Hour for the population of Galicia. Northern Poland, includ ing Warsaw^ receives Its supply of flour chiefly from America. Two trains a day, transporting about ty">,000 tons of grain a month, are mivv making regular trips from central, Roumania. Experts have reported excellent prospects for Poland’s - crops next har vest and., it Is expected that .with a summer of peace the country will raise enough grain to supply all needs. ARMISTICE CAR TO MUSEUM Will Get Place of Honor Among Mili tary Trophies on Terrace of Invalids in Paris. Paris, I'iance.—Tlie railway carriage in which tlie German representatives signed the armistice is, with Marshal Foch’s coipent, to to be given a place of honor on |he terrace of the Invulides, beside th< trophies of the Crimean war. i It was originally intended to present , the hlstojlc relic to the Louvre ' museum, nit It has been decided that. In view i Its military significance, It should Dj exhibited at the'Invalldes. Less than 1% for the protection of THE PEOPLE'S HEALTH. Is that goc/d business? It must be, our law makers did it in 1919. It probably accounts for the fact that of-the 88,000 children born in Georgia each year there are 62,250 left when the fifth year of life is reached fo enter the schools. Some of these are deaf, some dumb, some crippled and some blind so that they can never be educated. Many more children on account of poverty brought on by sickness are not able to attend,"school, while more than 1/3 are defective to such an extent as*to be a drag upon the school. The $5,147,399 is not too much to spend on education, but one cent out of each dollar is too little to spend on the prevention of these conditions which kill the innocent children and render many others not only unfit for citizenship blit in truth a liability upon tlie state. If tlie mothers of Georgia, when they come into full possession of their rights of franchise, do not stcn> the deaths of the inno cent children, then Georgia is lost, for money invested in public highways, education, penal institutions and the enforcement^)!! law as bus beeir in the past will never reduce the infant mortality rate. Disease must be elim inated from the home, the parents made healthy. In other words, the pro tection of the public health must be given the same consideration, as other functions of the State Government,' and the protection of the public health must begin with the prevention of infant mortality if the life of the state is to be conserved. , v An appropriation of 1.7 cents per acre is made by the state for agricultural purposes. There is appropriated for the protection of th<3 health o£ each individual in Georgia 3.1 cents. It would appear that the health of an indi vidual was a Tittle less than twice as bn'portant as the development of an acre of'agricultural land, for the Legislature appropriated twice as much per person as per acre. , The average acre in' Georgia is assessed at $10.43. There fore the health of the citizen is worth only $19.01 in capital stock of the State. This is too low a value to place on the health of a citizen. The development of each acre of land is absolutely necessity and tlie appropriation for agri cultural purposes is, if anything, too smalf. but the protection of the HEALTH OF THE FARMER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DEVELOPMENT | OF HIS LAND, and the sooner this fact is realized and a common sense value | placed- qii good health, just that soon will tlie economic loss due to sickness ; be prevented. PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL SUSTAINS INJURIES IN FALL Mr. Ed D. Gunby, principal of the Douglasville high school, was very painfully injured at the school Tues- day| when he tripped and fell, dislo cating his shoulder. How it occurred has not been related, but it is shid the teacher’s .foot wtfs caught caus ing him to fall with the result above noted. LOCAL MILL HAS ORDERS FOR MONTHS AHEAD—MORE COMING As an indication pf the return to normalcy in busiijpss the Douglas hos iery mill is a good example. Officials of the mill say that orders are hand for several weeks’ output i more in sight for the future. They say, also, that the mill now requires several more girls opera tives and'that steps will be taken-to get the new employees immediately It is generally acknowledged that buy ers are looking for close prices and tlie efficient management, up-to-date equipment and high graderproducts of the local enterprise is said to give it an advantage to a certain extent in se curing orders. M IND STORM DOES MINOR DAMAGE IN FURIOUS GALE The young tornado which passed through this section Wednesday aft ernoon uprooted sevral big trees, twisted signs and billboards I pose and did other damage, during the short time it blew the hardest.

ACCIDENT AT DEPOT TUESDAY MAY PROVE FATAISI'O NEGRO Grant Evans, colored, was perhaps fatally injured Tuesday morning when he was thrown from a freight train at the depot, his head striking the ground with .yuch force as to fracture the skull. it is not known exactly how the ac cident happened except that it is said the negro swung on to the train for a ride and was thrown oil', or-that he attempted to board the moving train anti was knocked down. Imme diately he arose and walked away but a doctor’s examination showed inju ries which may be fatal.

COMMENCEMENT THIS YEAR TO BE BEST IN SCHOOL’S HISTORY If harr/ work and extensive prepara tion means anything the commence ment this year shows promise of eclipsing any former commencement' in recent years. Professor Gunby, the teachers and pupils have been devot ing much time in the preparation' of the main features, which will mark the closing of one of the most suc cessful school years..in a long time and it is their wish that the com mencement he in keeping with the ex cellent work of the school for the term soon to end.
