► TRAIT OF FATHERHOOD (By Wlckes Wamboldt) A woman physician of international reputation said to me, “Motherhood b a perfectly natural and normal characteristic. but fatherhood is an acquired trait" There U food for thought in that -Mother love and mother sacrifice are ■o normal that the..world takes them ae a matter of courts. A mother beer will fight to the death .for her eubt. A mother quail will do the most reckless things to draw atten tion away from her title ones. A mother scorpion will permit her young to feed on her own body until there Is nothing left of her but the empty shell. So the watchful loving care of the human mother is. something all Nature teaches ne to expect. The mother is not doing what is distaste ful to her when she cards for her children day after day, night after j night, and suffers privation for thtirj sakes. It would be harder for her to do otherwise. She is doing what Something inside of her makes it necessary for her to do. Bat what about fatherhood? The ■ante Nature that teeehes us to take mother love for granted reveals to us that father love is the exceptional thing. The male parent in the animal world is not only usually indifferent, hot inimical toward his young. The old tomcat wil kill the Utle kitens if he gets a chance, and the buck rabbit is dangerous to baby bunnies. Al though the sea-otters mate for life, the mother will not permit the father to get too close to her young when they a^e very title. Evidently sh< does not trust him. There are many instances were jealousy on the part of the animal father has resulted in the destruction of the offspring. The human father is not immune from jealousy either. Many a man secretly dreads and resents the ad vent of the baby and when it come? and when the mother turns the full ness of her love upon it, much may be the distress he suffers unknown to anyone but himself. As the children grow, and as they come first in all ( things, he becomes more or less ac customed to it, but in many instances never wholly reconciled to it. A man likes to be mothered. He never gets too old for that. The average man is never weaned. A woman must mother something and until she has babies she mothers her hubbend. He likes it and he misses it when it is taken from him. I have talked with many men on this sub ject. Most of them admit. Some will not Yes, fatherhood is often an ac quired trait And the man who com pels himself to crush down any re sentment at the children that come between him and his wife, and who forces himself to maintain an attitude of loving.justice toward them, and puts his shoulders to the wheel and i toils unceasingly for them deserves' credit That is. one difference be-' tween a man and a beast Such a j man deserves more credit' than thej mother who is doing what she can not Head Your County’s Daily Paper First help doing because it i* natural to her. However, sometimes it is the mother who resents the intrusion of the child and is jealous of it; but this .is the infrequent case—like that of the maft bird which sets on the eggs. MODERN FOOTWEAR OUSTS OLD STYLE SHOES OF SATIN (By Associated Press) Peking, Jan. 30.—The encroach ment of western civilisation has revolutonized the shoe-making indus try in Peking, according to the Chinese , Economic Bulletin. When official shoes made of sating where in rogue among the well-to-do, and the ooore releases wore ghoc3 made out of cotton cloth, the business was pros- j perous; but now the old-style shoes have been discarded for foreign-style (either shoes which are imported, or made by another class of aitisans from Shanghai or other treaty ports. For this reason Peking shoemakers are engaged almost entirely in mak ing cheap footwear for the poorer passes. Another industry affected is bak ing. Owing to a liking for foreign style pastry, the business of Chinese bakeries is falling off. Bread is being used more and more. A few years ago, it is said, there were in Peking more than 400 bakeries turning out Chinese food, whereas today there are only 127. Medicine shops, although showing a decreased turnover, are less seriously affected because of the enormous profit to which the business lends itself. Read Your County’s Daily Paper First.'

Out of these earnings we must first pay wages, which have averaged in the same period $1,580 a year. Out of the $1,650 remaining, we must pay our bills for materials and supplies, pay for the coal burned in our engines, meet loss, damage and casualty claims, pay rents and taxes, and have enough left over to provide a fair return on the investment. At the service of each employee is an average investment of $13,000 in railroad property tracks, stations, terminals, equipment, etc. Only by efficiency of management, an under standing of the transportation needs of the South, loyal service of employees, and the Southern Railway System last year spent in the South $20,000,000 more than it received from the South. confidence and cooperation of the public, is it possible for a large railroad system like the Southern to provide adequate and dependable transportation service—and save enough out of its earnings to provide a fair return on the in vestment, and thus command the new capital needed to -keep pace with the growth of the South. fHE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
