SOUNDS LIKE PROPAGANDA. The more one. considers the plans of Gutzon Borglum to create a Southern memorial on the face of some rock in North Carolina, the. more hopeless the task appears. It is easy enough to talk ajiout raising huge sums for such work, but it is an entirely different thing to get the money. Borglum is a sculptor whose genius cannot be denied, but at the same time he is a dreamer, and in the present case at least, he seems to have let his vision get the better of his judgment. He had thousands of dollars at his disposal at Stone Mountain, yet we know he did not have enough. In that project lie had funds coming in from all parts of the South, and better still, he was working, or at least he should have been working with the support of the entire South. His proposed memorial in this State would have opposition, of course. Those persons who have subscribed to the Stone Mountain' Memorial are not going to be willing to drop it just because Borglum proposes to create another memorial in this State. Stone Mountain is very dear to the hearts of many people, and the memorial there is certaip to be completed. We do not know where Borglum is go ing to get his money as he has never made this point clear. He can get plen ty of fluaucial backing he says, and seem ingly is satisfied to let the matter drop there. The public is not satisfied with therse statement, however. It seepis that the sculptor will have to get closer to earth before he can convince the people of North Carolina that any meihoriai will be created in the State. Visions are necessary for a sculptor, but cold facts are necessary for the public. USE FOR THE LOWLY CORN STALK Heretofore persons have considered the corn stalk as of no commercial value. At times the stalks are used for fuel, but as a rule they have been discarded once thd corn was taken from them. Prof. O. R. Sweeney, of the lowa SWe College finds that the stalks of valuable, however, and after a recent test he an nounced that the stalks are worth about $l3O a ton when converted into paper. The professor has manufactured ,paper of a fine quality from stalks and he be lieves it can be made to match in qual ity any stock of wood pulp paper. The question of utilizing corn stalks for the making of paper involves a num ber of industrial problems into which I the chemists have been delving. Prof. 1 Sweeney's experiments show that by j means of a chemical process worked out in bis laboratory, aix-tenths of a ton of paper can be made from a ton of stalks. lowa produces between 30,000,000 and 25,000,000 tons of stalks yearly and the United States abSut 100t)00,00 tons. .Oat, and wheat straws have been used iaXtbe '• manufacture of straw-board but tb*y aie too short-abered for mukjpg higher grades of paper. Corn stalks do have seen the paper made in the laWa ; tory declared it to be of high quality. The department also discovered a by * -■ ■ ■ .product ,ia the paper making process.; The liquid extracted from the stalks was found to have high adhesive properties, whiclr might be applied to new adhesive product. The findings of Prof. Sweeney will he followed with unusual interest by farm ers, for if his experiments really show that the stalks are of commercial value, the corn raiser will be the richer and the raising of corn piay increase by reason; of the value of i|s by-products., . EVEN THE BEGGARS DREAD COM PETITION. From Chicago comes word that beggars are complaining about competition, de spite the fact they take in from $5 to sll a day. R. H. Freiund, who conduct ed an investigation for the social service administration for the University of Chicago, says the incomes of the beggars range from $5 to S2O a day, with an aver age of $11.46. The beggars are nbt complaining about the amount of money given, but old tim ers in Chicago say new beggars are en tering the field so rapidly the income of each is less than it formerly was. As a matter of fact people in Chicago are giv ing more liberally than ever to the beg gars, for when one considers the number of beggars in the city something of the total given each day can be estimated by the fact that the average for each is more than sll. AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN CAN REBUILD THE WORLD Hold the Secrets of the World’s Needs. Declared Dr. Hughes.” I.ake Junaluska, July 21.—America and Great Britain hold the secret of the world's needs and are competent to re shape and re-build a broken world by the same principles that made the two na tions what they obviously are in the sight of an expectant world, declared Dr. S. W. Hughes, religious leader, of Lon don, in an address here. He asserted that American and Britisli people should unite in proclaiming the ethics of Christ and in applying them to world condi tions. “and say to the broken jteoples of the earth that in Christ alone all things hold together." I)r. Hughes is pastor of tile Western Park Church, in England, was appoint ed by the world alliance for promot ing friendship through the churches to speiak in the United States during the present sumiqer. He is preaching ev ery Sunday in the Brick Presbyterian Church, New York, and traveling and speaking during the week at points east of the Mississippi River. He came to .Junaluska at the invitation of Bishop James Cannon, of the Methodist Episco pal Church, South, who is 1* member of the international committee of the World Alliance. Speaking on "Uncle Sam add Johnny Bull." Dr. Hughes mingled humor with seriousness. “You’ve got some horrible jazz ovfr here." lie told his hearers. "What's the use of going to Tennessee or anywhere else to discuss evolution when you've got this atavistic, soul scraping stuff you call music all about?" "But we don't jujjgc you by your jazz." lie said, reassuringly. “We know the difference between a jazz patriot and a religious patriot, and we judge our American friends by the loftiest poetry, the most inspiring music and the great works of American leaders and teachers in every field." Speaking of America and Great Bri tain. Dr. Hughes declared: "I believe these two nations represent the perma nent moral part of the Anglo-Saxon race and that, in its truest development, no nation can live to itself. “I believe." he continued ."that God is uniting the two nations for the good of the world, and it was a tribute to their moral fibre anil significant of the common trust in America and Great Bri tain that the little nations of "eastern Europe, emerging from the post-war era, sought the guidance and succor of An- I glo-Saxon leaders. And the best tribute |of all i« that the two nations did not I fail to help ill molding the new national life of the war-broken countries.'’ I Dr. Hughe* declared .that he was “neither a modernist, nor a fundamental ist.'’ “We ought to get rid of .these wretched adjectives." he told his Juna luska hearers. "They are doing more harm in religion that anything else. These suiierficial distinctions do a Jot jof harm. To tipnk God’s thoughts after .Hint is orthodox enough for me."
