THE SHEARS OF DELILAH.
SO Samson told Delilah his secret: "There hath
not come a razor upon mine head. If I be
shaven, then my strength will go from me, and
I shall become week, and be like any other man."
And the made him sleep upon her knees; and she
called for a man, and she caused him. to shave off
the seven locks of his head . . . and his strength went
from him.
I With his hair cut, Samson was weak. Ills ene
mies "put out his eyes and bound him with fetters
of brass; and he did grind In the prison house."
But hie hair grew long again . . . and he pulled the
pillars from under a roof upon which were "about
SOOC men and women.”
As science studies the endocrine glands, It finds an
Interesting relationship between long hair and
strength. The growth of the hair Is regulated by
the thyroid gland. Dong, fast-growing hair means
that the thyroid gland Is over-active In manufactur
ing its mysterious chemicals. And an active thyroid
means that an abnormal amount of energy Is being
generated—nervous energy, rather than muscular.
Tha "hyper-thyroid" has to visit the barber often.
He has s ravenous appetite without becoming fat;
needs lots of fuel. He is a human dynamo, a terrific
worker though quickly exhausted.
Does cutting the hair destroy strength? Men who
are nervously highly-keyed often think so. They
find themselves languid after visiting the barber,
and ungomfortab’y super-charged with energy when
they need hair cut or ehave —restlesa, unable to take
life quietly, with repose.
There may be a scientific reason for artists and
musicians wearing their hair long. Tosstbly an In
stinct tails them that this Is the way to keefe their
batteries charged.
On the other hand, in some illnesses such as ty
phoid fever, it Is necessary to bob the head to keep
strength from “going to the hair." But even viewed
from this angle, the hair and the matter of strength
are Interlocked.
A weird electro-chemical machine !s the human
body.
SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. ‘
WHEN Chairman Eutler of the Republican Na
tional Committee appeals for the election of
a Republican congreas "to aupport Mr. Coo
lldge" what doea he mean? Ho cannot mean that
many Republicans who are serving in the present
congress should be elected to the Klxty ninth, for It
la a notorious fact that during the short time that
Mr. Coolldge has been president he has been at outs
with members of both the house and the senate.
They have persistently obstructed, thwarted and
Ignored him on all occasions.
Now, Mr. Coolldge has shown hla graltude to those
Republicans In congress during the campaign for
their devotion to hla cause by having no word to say
!n their behalf. He la not giving them hla support
now any more than they gave him their support
when congress was In session. On tha lines of the
world *ourt and the bonua, Lodge and tho rest of
the Republican! were Just as hostile to him at Burk
hart or Norris.
Mr. Coolldge was not able to command the aupport
of either the standpatters or the progressives of hla
own party. It would be the same way over again If
he should win the election. It la Just as impracti
cable to elect a Republican congress to support Mr.
foolldge as to get ths present Republlcsn congress
to support him. That's why Mr. Coolldge Is turning
a wheel for them. Sauce for the goose should be
suuce for the gander.
EASY TO QUIT SMOKING ?
A MEDICAL specialist, who serves a lot of men,
tal science along with his pills, tells us that it
Isn t s tenth as hard to desert lauly Nicotine
as the average amoker believes.
He tiles this case; One of his patients was In
formed that he was in the early stages of tubercu
losis of the lungs. The had news came unexpectedly,
like a holt out of the blue. The doctor told him that
hadn't a Chinaman's chance unless he quit hla
clgarels. *
Thla man was a regular fiend for fags-smoked
two and three package! a day. And yet ho stopped
Instantly and without difficulty. It was simply a
cast that he desired to live more than to smoke.
Chronic alcoholism usually Is much ths same. It's
realatlvely easy to quit If the drinker really wants
to. He usually doesn't want to.
Ths svernge smoker periodically get* the notion
that he is smoking too much. He begins to "taper
down," Presently his body responds and hla Indi
gestion or insomnia or whatever hla troubla hap
pened to be. responds. He feels so fins that he un
consciously smokes more, and soon Is hitting it up
as hard as ever.
Ths only way to quit any habit la to quit It en
tirely.
In trying to break off the tobacco habit a nt«n
rarely has a sufficiently strong motive to make him
win the fight. If he has the motive -ns In the case
of ths tuberculosis victim fighting for his life—he
wins against nicotine with ease.
1 ear helps him. Given enough fear, man recog
nizes no obstacles.
No drunkard, for Instance, enn quit liquor until he
develops a genuine fear of Its power over him.
Nearly ever? ore believes that to quit smoking
means certain agony. That's the popular notion. It
Is Inheiltcd. Jokes help keep It alive. Ho do the
boasts of self-Imagined martyr* relating their ago
nlea when they abandoned cigar, pipe or clgarct, at*
way* with exaggeration.
Admittedly, to quit tobacco Is ns eaay Job in the
case of a confirmed emokrr. particularly an old
timer whose system has become accustomed to it.
For a man of $$ to quit Is apt. In some cases, to be
(stub But the point is that It's not as hard to quit
as most men believe.
As to whether there's any use of quitting at all,
that's another matter. Doctor's disagree.
Obstacles are about three-fourths a matter of our
attitude toward them You recall the famous prize
fighter, knocked out by a loafer who didn't know
whom he was hitting.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
Speaking The Public Mind
SAYS UNFORTUNATE
RUMOR IS AFLOAT
To the Herald:
A very unfortunate rumor has
been current for several days to
the efTect that the employees in one
of our manufactuirng establish
ments have expressed themselves
as fearing for their Jobs In case
they should vote for the school
bond issue. Whether it be false or
true that certain groups of our
working population are actuallv
being intimidated. th e rumor itself
Is enough to cause alarm in a Sou
thern democratic community like
Augusta. Aside from the fact of
the great service of our educational
Institutions to all classes and the
particular service of an efficient
high school in helping the poorer
hoys of our city and county, it
will be an extremely unfortunate
condition when the methods that
have been employed in the indus
trial centers of the North and East
shall come to be employed here in
the South.
In the development of our elec
tion machinery we have been con
sciously striving to avoid Just as
far as possible this sort of thing.
A man's right to the ballot is In a
peculiar sense a sacred, personal
privilege, and In the whole history
of our political development we
have sought to protect and safe
guard him In the free exercise of
this privilege. Any man or set of
men who use their power over hi*
labor, and therefore over his bread,
to intimidate him, is an enemy of
democracy and the community.
Let us hope that this is mere
rumor, and that the fine old tradi
tions of our community and sec
tion are not being violated.
"FAIR FLAT.”
WOMAN AS A
GOOD MANAGER.
To The Herald: Woman has al
w'ays been a good manager when
she put her mind to It, beginning
back in the Garden of Eden, Eve
managed to make a complete cos
tume out of one fig leaf and on
through ages It has been the wo
man who has managed to keep the
family budgets within the husband’s
Income, whether there was one
child or five. A change has come
over her since she has become part
of the big life outside of the home
and she seems temporarily to have
lost the sense of economic and fi
nancial proportion. She apparently
does not realize that tax money
must be put in the public treasury
as well as taken out, but when
she does appreciate that fact and
studies It all out she will he Just
as canny about It 4s she is at any
"dollar day sale.”
Take this bond Issue, for Instance.
If she stops to think thaht her
husband has got to work to help
pay for that 1350,000 plus the In
terest for thirty years (and there
will have to be others besides this
one) siio will consider whether it
is the best thing to put $300,0u0 for
one high school for 1,000 boys while
there are so many of the grammar
schools, both white and colored,
that are over crowded and antiqua
ted sb to light and plumbing. While
John Is receiving a perfect high
school education In a complete up
to-date building the younger chil
dren may bo having their eye sight
and constitutions injured by their
surroundings.
Without going into figures I feel
certain that there are five times as
many children in need of new gram
mar schools as there are boys in
need of a new high school.
No woman having five children
to clothe would think of taking all
the available family funds and get
ting a complete elaborate nnd ex
pensive outfit for one and let the
oth< rs go without anything. Now,
that is about the situation of this
bond issue os I see It.
HOME MANAGER.
REPLIES TO “BUSINESS'’
ON THE BOND ISSUE.
Augusta, Oa , Oct. 29, 1924.
To The Herald: Please glvo me
the privilege of replying to on ar
tlolo In Monduy's paper signed
'.fiuslness." as the same informa
tion called for by him may be
wanted by others.
In the first place he seems to
desire that there should be some
guarantee given that tho cost of
she new Academy building will not
exceed tire amount raised for that
purpose. I do not think that any
lurtlicr assurance could be given
than the fact that the Richmond
Academy trustees will ngree to add
SIOO,OOO for the Richmond Academy
to the $300,000 to bo derived from
the sale of bonds, provided that the
cost will not be greater than the
amount thus raised, and that they
will give nothing If it should ex
ceed thnt figure.
Referring to his paragraph No. 1,
I. of course, understand that he Is
not speaking serllously when he
claim* that the Columbia Uni
versity experts called our school
buildings "Junk." as they did not
so pronounce them. They did of
fer quite a number of criticism*,
many of which were already known

| and recognized by the Board of Ed
ucation itself. It should be borne
in mind, however, that an expert
I in any line is supposed to repre
sent the last word in that busi
ness, and anything that does not
measure up to his yard stick is sub
ject to his criticism. A buiidtnc
that is anywhere from two to three
years old is liable to be out of date
in many respects, and It must be
remembered that a large number
of our buildings have considerable
age on them, so It Is but natural
that they should be behind the
times and subject to criticsm.
though they were probablv consid
ered strictly all right at‘the time
they were built. I doubt very se
riously if the White House or the
magnificent Government Library at
Washington could stand the inspec
tion of an expert today without se
vere criticism.
In reply to paragraph No. 4 of
his card, I do not see how I can
possibly be more frank with the
public than I have already been.
The annual report of the Board of
Education has been furnished to
both the newspapers, and also to
the grand Jury. In which Is given
every possible desired Information.
If "Business" failed to read this re
port I am sorry, but if he will let
me know who he is, I will take
pleasure in furnishing him a copy,
or if he will call at the office of the
Board of Education, I can assure
him every possible courtesy, and
that he will be given ample oppor
tunity to satisfy himself on any
point that should not be plain to
him at this time. This same thing i
applies to any reasonable taxpayer;
of this county. I
While I am writing I would like i
to correct reports made with re-1
gard to the Bibb school system.
The claim has been made that their
tax for schools is only 8.31 mills.
As a matter of fact It Is 8 1-2 mills,
apparently. The party making this
statement, however, neglected to
tell you that the taxable property
of Bibb county, exclusive of cor
porations, Is $48,332,435, as against
the taxable property of Richmond
county of $39,194,325, giving them
over $7,000,000 more taxable prop
erty than we have from which to
derive taxes. He also neglected to
state that Bibb county has $900,000
outstanding school bonds, and the
Interest and reduction on these
bonds is paid by the County Com
missioners. We have a balance of
$30,000 on our only issue of SIOO.-
000. He also neglected to state that
they have no public kindergartens,
and that domestic science and man
ual training are taught only In the
city and county schools. It Is Just
such failure to make proper state
ments and such propaganda as
this that makes taxation at other
points appear to be so much less
than our own.
I cannot go Into details In this
card, but if actual figures were ap
plied to put the two school sys
tems on an equal basis and footing,
it would be found that the Bibb
county system would require a lit
tle more than 11 1-2 mills to accom
plish what the Richmond county
system is doing.
Y'ours very truly.

THE EAGLES BAND.
Editor the Herald: One of the
finest assets in an advertising way
for Augusta Is the Eagles band.
They practice as often as they can
under the existing conditions. Just
think, if they could practice every
day In the week and had a sub
stantial backing from the citizens
what an ideal band It would be.
\« it is, they play well and de
serve any amount of credit.
back them up and we will have a
band that will prove a blessing. XVe

EDITORIAL COMMENT
BOYS CLEAR S2OO ON THREE
ACRES.
"Twenty-two progressive Ben Hill
county boys have done an excellent
piece of work In the county this year.
Each hoy has grown an acre of corn,
an acre of cotton, and an acre of
peanuts, making from 4<> to 70 bushels
of corn per acre, 60 to 75 bushels pea
nuts per acre, and from 1,350 to 1.500
pounds seed cotton per acre. Each
boy borrowed $32 from a local bank,
a sum sufficient to pay cash for all
fertilizers, seeds and poisons to con
trol the boll weevil. Nothing but
pure seed was used on each of these
crops. Indications are that each boy
will receive at least S2OO dear from
his three-acre crop. Thla demon
stration by these 22 three-acre club
boys has caus«d a number of farmers
to change their methods of farming
for another year, and in fact some of
the fathers of these hoys have tried
to bent the boy* this year."—Fitz
gerald Herald.
JURY TRIALS IN CONTEMPT
CASES.
During the railway shopmen's strike
of 1322 the lower courts granted an
Injunction which was, in effect, an
order to obey the statute against
criminal conspiracies in restraint of
trade. This injunction was violated,
and the violators demanded a Jury
trial for a case arlting out of an in
dustrial dispute. The courts refused
the jury trial and punished for con
tempt: but now the supreme court
holds that the accused had a right to
a jury trial. The Clayton act la de
clared constitutional, and does not
infringe upon the jurisdiction of the
courts. Does It follow that there
must be jury trials in all cases of
contempt in industrial disputes?
The supreme court decides that the
Clayton act is limited to cases in
which the contempt "Is also a crime
in the ordinary sense." The simple
question is "whether Congress may
require a trial by jury upon the de
mand of the accused in an Independ
ent proceeding at law for a criminal
contempt, which Is also a crime. In
criminal contempts, as in criminal
cases, the presumption of Innocence
obtains. Proof of guilt must be be
yond reasonable doubt, and the de
fendant may not be compelled to be
a witness against himself." The acts
which the lower courts took notice of
were not committed in the presence
of the court. The violators of the
injunction are not acquitted, but the
case is sent back for proof of their
crime satisfactory to a Jury. Even
in England criminal contempts are
preferably punishable after indict
ment and conviction. The crime .is
against the public, not primarily
against tho court.
Labor leaders find no fault with a
decision which favors them, as they
hasten to say. Perhaps they fail to
notice certain points. One is that
the strikers lose their claim that they
can exempt themselves from the
jurisdiction of the P.ailway Labor
Board by striking and thus evade
punishment for criminal conspiracy.
The mistaken idea has been held that
the Clayton law abolished criminal la
bor conspiracies. But the right to a
jury trial does not confer immunity
for criminal contempt, if proved. The
principles regarding contempt of Uourt
remain as they were declared in the
Debs case.—New York Times.
By Their Odors
Ye Shall Know
Them
BY MILTON BRONNER
LONDON.—What Is the character
istic smell of your town?
Some discussion has been aroused
over here by the assertion that all
big cities have a characteristic odor.
Often it comes from one thing. Often
it comes from a compound of several
odors. For instance, as to European
cities: •
Paris smells of scent, gasoline and
hot bread.
London smells mainly of lubricat
ing oil and gasoline.
Berlin smells of gasoline , old
leather and badly groomed horaes.
Amsterdam of strong coffee and
stagnant canal water.
Bristol smells of chocolate and to
bacco, because It manufactures both
in large quantities.
The French have long memories
even in little things and that is why
strenuous opposition has been aroused
to tile proposed visit of a famous
Dutch singing society to the capital.
It seems that last year this crowd
of choristers paid a visit to Germany.
They sang on Enter don Linden and
their stay wound up with a beer eve
ning in the course of which the
Duchman sang "Die Watcht Am
Rhein.”
AH of which was duly noted in
Paris by certain editors. This year
the Dutch singers want to come fe 1
Paris. The program includes a visit
to the grave of the unknown soldier
under the Arc de Triomphe. You
can imagine the howl: "What, these
Dutchmen who last year glorified
Germany want this year to sing in
front of our sacred grave? Never,
no a thousand times, never!’’

since the world’s first silk stock
ings were worn at a wedding by
King Henry II of France. He was
the envy of all his subjects.
Today any one can afford silk
stockings. Machinery and modern
systematized industry have made
them available at a cheap price. We
are all kings, by ancient standards
—and for this, business men are re
sponsible, not politicians.
Passengers who enter or leave the
Times Square subway station in New
York now total more in & year than
the entire population of the United
States.
The subway makes the super-city
possible. Without it, the traffic con
fusion would become a deadlock.
Whether the subway in this capacity
is a gain or a loss, is debatable. But
it is undoubtedly the one and only
trlfflc solution for all larger cities.
France Is reducing her army. By
November 8, she will have less than
500.000 soldiers under arms. Some in
terpret this as a waning of French
militarism. Again, It may be only a
French decision that fighting power
is shifting from foot and mounted sol
diers to airplane forces.
Speaking of things that excited
the public only a few years ago: Go
ing back about 10 years in newspa
per files, we find experts of the N.
Y. Produce Exchange claiming that
the high price of meat was due to
corn-feeding our drunkards instead ot
our hogs. They figured that three
fifths of the corn crop In those days
was consumed by distilleries and
breweries.
The liquor is gone, and meat Is
higher than ever. So much for the
transitory opinions of "expert
economists.”
