They find a way out of the toughest of things that
Mom has to tell them at night. Their calm non

Just take any day when the kldlet' runa wild and

’•Tou're a terrible child; when your father geta home,

Then Paddy arrives and the story le told. Why,

Dad says, 'Til sea about that.'*

WHAT HE FLIES WITH.
IN the little bedroom of a roodeat house in Ban
FraneUco lies an old mother, bedfast. It ha*
been a long aelge of Illness, and of loneliness, too,
for husband hag to work and there') only a kindly
neighbor's little girl to "look In occasionally.” But
It la not tha physical distreaa, nor the loneliness that
hurts the Invalid most.
She worries about her married children 'way off In
New York City and she knows that they worry about
mother; and telegram# at 3 or 4 cents per word are
too costly for the poor.
But there comes a Monday evening when husband
sits down by the bedside and writes, for his helpless
wife, a long letter to their children.
There's mother love In the letter, and cheer to the
effect that mother la doing nicely, and affectionately
Inquires as to the grandchildren, with some old
fashioned mother's advice on running a family, and
all the tender things that mothers have to repeat
again and again to those they've borne, worked for
and somewhat lost through their little ones growing
up.
"John,” says the sick woman, "mail it on your way
to work tomorrow and they’ll be reading It the day
after and by Friday I'll get their answer. Be sure
John. It's almost as If I had them here.” Then she
smiles In happiness, the grip of worry In loneliness
leaves her haart, and ahe sleeps.
The air mall service!
We vision Its business advantages Almost exelu
slvely.
In 32 hours the San Francisco merchant can pour
his order*, kick*, hi* whole soul out to his New
York "connections” for 24 cents, and, In 64 hours, get
a reply that would clog the wires inf cost a small
fortune It sent In the old way. Quicker business,
cheaper business, more business! Fine stuff! We
vision the profit, first thing and strongly.
And hidden In this thing of human progress are
such thing* as the happiness of that old mother who
almost feels that she has her children at her bedside,
'though they are thousands of miles away.
The material greatness of man’s Inventions and
enterprises sticks out but their real greatness Is In
their by-products—their contribution to human hap
piness. Banker A Bon of San Francisco explain the
details of a big scheme to Morgan A Co. of Wall
Street. And a lonely, suffering old mother pours her
heart out to her children almost In their presence.
Great Is the flying postman!
ARE GEORGIANS TENDERFOOTED?
WHAT Is the matter with Georgia? Is she
tendorfooted or pussyfooted? A state that
once held the proud position of being the
"Empire Stale of the South”, now taking a back seat
In the rear of every movement to develop her won
derful natural resources! Something must be vitally
wrong when an old, well established and temperate
tempered sheet like the Atlanta Constitution has to
signify Its dissent from the dominant policy of the
state by such comment as the following:
“When will Georgia learn that Industrial develop
ment In this state. In keeping with her natural re
sources and advantages, will not measure up to that
of sister states so long as filthy politics, with the
disturbing element of an annual legislative grind,
grip* her and tear* at her eeonomio vitals as today?”
The occasion for this nutbur*t was an Item that oc
curred In the current number of the Baltimore Man
ufacturers Record, which le a* follows:
"New England mills continue to move aouth. The
latest announcement regarding establishment of
plants 1* the report that two Fall Itlver (Mass)
mills will locate In Johnson City, Tenn, Two other
mills are corresponding with Johnson City Interest*
with a view to locating there. The capital stock of
a Union (S. C.) mill has been Increased from $500,-
000 to $300,000 to provide for expansion. At Bastrop,
Texas, a company with a capital of $500,000 has been
organlted to erect a mill. The Muckasee Manufac
turing Co., Greenville, S. C., h*s awarded contract*
for extension*. New York Interests have acquired a
Khlnmton (W. Va.) silk mill.”
No wonder that a newspaper that has spent Its
whole life In promoting and fostering the resources
of the state grows indignant over the conditions of
affairs Into which the state 1* now plunged without
rhyme or reason. Too much rotten politics and not
enough sound pollttos are at the bottom of It.
Capital I* proverbially shy and avoids a locality
where there Is continual turmoil and political agita
tion. A* the Constitution well says:
"It Is afraid of a legislative system that tears up
the code every year, and keeps In it* bill hopper all
the time an aggregation of wild, visionary, imprac
ticable and frequently destructive measures that
menace the pence and serenity and the economic se
curity of a state and people.”
Cra*y-qutltlng the state Into new counties when
consolidation should be the tendency, as good roads
end automobiles render the courthouses more ac
cessible, Is the most reactionary policy possible, and
It Is making taxation highest when It should be low
est. What a travesty on good government when
thirteen of these new counties can be created at one
session of the legislature.
The sad thing about trying to be cheerful all the
time le you aoon run out of things to be cheerful
about.
No wonder everybody wants to bo president of the
United States. Hte pay la not Income taxable.
A small town la where Iht Jail 1* full If they catch
a burglar.
Only ten out of every hundred flowers are scent
ed. but the same la not true of onions.

Beauty and Ugliness Rub
Elbows In Washington
WASHINGTON. Washtngtor
Is a city of contrasts. Beauty
rubs elbows with ugliness,
splc-and-span newness with dilapi
dated antiquity, palatial homes with
squalid shacks.
When the king and queen of
Belgium were guests of the cap
ital only a few years back, their
nearest neighbors, while they
wore housed In the magnificent
home of Breckenrldge Long at the
top of Sixteenth Street Hill, was a
colored family which lived In a ram
shackle old lean-to immediately
across the street.
All the comings and goings of
the royal pair and their glittering
entourage were watched with
keenest Interest, by a half-dozen
ragged plckannles perched on
the rackety old steps of the shack.
And the Interest of these dusky
youngsters In the royal guests
across the way undoubtedly was
equaled by the Interest of the
royal pair In the “democracy" of
the American capital atrl It* In
discriminate mixing of colors and
classes.
IN the rear of many of Washing
ton's most fashlqnable residence
streets, facing on the alleys, are
rows of brick tenements, crowded,
unsanitary, unsightly, housing
chiefly the city's poorer colored
population.
These alley dwellings developed
from the practice of the old fam
ilies In installing their colored
coachman and cook, usually they
were man and wife. In buildings
on the rear of the lot, facing the
alloy. Gradually these buildings
were extended until they filled
the whole alley frontage.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the first,
when she first came to Washing
ton, took an active part in trying
to abolish alley dwellings, and
they were officially scheduled for
the discard, by order of congress.
Then the war came along, the
housing shortage developed, and

NO historic avenue In the world
presents such a motley array
of "structures” as flanks
Pennsylvania avenue, that broad
thoroughfare between the capital
and the treasury.
At the up-town end, near the
treasury, there are a number of
creditable modern buildings. But
below Sixth street, toward the
capltol, the ordy sizeable building
not of pre-Civll War vintage,
houses Henry Ford's flivver and
tractor exhibits.
Here may be found Washing
tons “Chinatown,” rendezvous of
sllk-shlrted and plg-talled Celes
tials.
Here, also, are the quarters of
fortune tellers, palm readers,
mediums and psychics.

shops and an old second-hand book
shop or two, alone add "class” to
this section Of the "Avenue.”
ONE HUNDRED years from
now, perhaps In 50, this may
be changed. At that time
Pennsylvania avenue may be the
"beautiful" thoroughfare It Is so
often pictured. For few of the
buildings there can stand longer
than that.
But In the meantime —well, It s
close to the capltol. There Is no
pressure for Its present develop

on rising. . .

make It more desirable to wait an
other generation before Improving
this section than to do It now.

Fables on Health
Carriage Exercises
Not long after Mr. Mann of Any
town had learned from his physical
director the proper way to stand
and walk he was Introduced to sev
eral simple exercises that helped
materially to keep the body In con
dition for maintaining this car
riage.
For those others who may wish
to follow Mr. Mann's example, the
following brief outline of some of
these exercises are here given:
1— Lie flat upon the back, arising
to a sitting position for six or seven
times. Then, turning face down
ward, make a bridge of your body
by rising on arm. Again, returning
to your back, and the abdomen,
resting on your shoulders and heels.
2 While still upon the floor, In
hale slowly, raising the arms to a
horizontal position and straighten
ing them out at the sides again
when exhaling. Breathe slowly and
deeply, doing this exercise at the
rate of about 10 a minute.
s—Taking a standing position,
raise first the right and then the
left leg and, following this, thrust
the arms above the head, swaying
from side to side with an upward
movement of the hips.
All of these have as their pur
pose the strengthening of the ab
dominal muscles which play the
most Important part In maintaining
a constantly erect carriage.
Speaking Public Mind
Rev. W. B. L. Clarke Makes
a Correction.
To The Herald:
Believing it to be the policy of
your paper to be fair to all, I ask
permission to reply to a statement
in Sunday’s Issue relative to me
by Wimberly, who poses as the
colored news writer.
I made no public statement rel
ative to the meeting, and no one
told Wimberly so. One of the wo
men asked me If my choir was
present and I told her I had no of
ficial notice of their coming and
had made no preparation for the
choir to be present.
Here are the facts: Borne weeks
ago Wimberly said to me that the
local committee had voted to have
the lodge of sorrow at Bethel, but
the chairman had arbitrarily
changed It to another church and
gave as a reason that he was In
formed that Bethel could not be
secured. I told him the chairman
had said nothing to me and the
officers about the use of the
church: that we were endeavoring
to make our church a community
center and It was open to any pro
gram for the good of the com
munity. and we would be glad to
grant them the use of the church.
I heard no more of It and had no
way of knowing what they had
done. I read In the morning paper
that they would be at Bethel that
