Following the general meeting the teachers went into group sessions and considered i their teaching ar.d administrative problems of Peabody college for teachers, Nashville, Tenn. How Bad Really Are College Girls? Not;lanK ago a correspondent of The Witness wrote “a piece for the parser,” about how terribly bail college girls are, the girls in co-cdueatk nal institutions he was especially talking about, and the sentiiiveness of the subject is re roonsible for the lengths to which the discussion has gone. H hen the daily newspapers took tp the issue, college heads were ' •put i, position where they had to deny tly allegations in order to as suage the fours of fathers and mothers'! . , It is a subject, nevertheless, that I bears study and analysis and he is foolish to rush to set down in dogmatic fashion tiro facts as he finds them. Girls have changed, to be sure. They are not what they used to be. That is a matter of common l observation. if not of common knowledge, but it is not necessar ily a fact that the change that has come over them has produced an actually bad and immoral Twen tieth Century girl. We are living right in the thick of an era of great transitions. People are thinking differently, but we would not assert arbitrar dy they are thinking worse or in rottener channels. They are living differently, of 'our.se. A material civilization 'bat has been rapidly and beauti , y built up has altered every factor and phase of human living. (h;r educational advancement beet, going on at a diizy pace. , nera 's no end to what is now known to the mind of men. The ’••man intellect has ransacked all tne nealms of Nature, and wrested \ r<»m their hiding places the deep £st secrets that this old world has ::d stored away in its haunts for centuries. (onventii ns and modes of hu man conduct are in the midst of . e same spell of transition, llab 'Ji are thrown into the flux of 11 and the old race has ccr am.y throWn away a lot of prud ''•’ arid things, but there is no rea VJ" 111 coming to the opinion, while "e are in the heat of the mmitiorai period, that wc have set fdr the worse, that tiri °‘V* an<^ g‘r*s this genera arc‘ resolutely and irrevocably a a nremature verdict to pass ',niK time on the subject, nr, i ,We are ‘n our travels from thi ' ^ World to a new, the best to do is simply toNtrust hu a Mature that, under the wise ;im! unerring hand and guidance of Providence, has gone through such experiments before, 'even tunity to ripht itself on its own keel. I l.c t Land and E crything. But Made Conte-Back on Two Cows (Ashcraft in Monroe Enquirer) T V. Harvey, who j:; superin tenrient of the Rodnuv: Cotton milk at Waxhaw, i Georgian, and me a copy of the Milian News. The editor of the paper. Hu A. Neal, is a “dirt farmer," Mr. Harvev,spys, and is much in tcrested to have (he farmers of 1 h.s section to diversify and make cotton a secondary farm product. One article in The News is in . (erecting arid enlightening:, and re cites “How a ‘Broke’ Cotton Farm er Saved Himself and Family with Two Cows.” It is the experience of A. S. Wright, of Oukridge. Ga., and follows: “in reply to your inquiry in re gard to my experience in dairying will say I went broke five years ; ago growing cotton, lost my land, j stock'and practically all I had ex 1 eept my wife aid five children. I bought two cov.'.s.and added to our family cow from .1. F. Davis on: credit and paid hint for them at the , rate of 84.00 per month. This was j •.he beginning of my dairy busi-! ness. Since that time I have grad ually added to my herd until I now have twenty-two high grade Jersey cows, two registered Jer sey liehfers and six or eight high grade Jersey heifers and a regis- ; te rod Jersey bull. “Practically all my children have j i a high school education, one boy j -midaating this year from the TTton A. & M. college and is now at home with me in the dairy business. Our success has not been; ouite as good as it might have been, however, we are very well satisfied in view of the fact that j what success we have made has j been on rented land and practically without money. In fact, I didn’t j have a dollar when I sold my first j quc-rt of milk in Fitzgerald. We ar e planning to buy us a farm of j our own within the next year. I! will continue in the dairy business ; vs long as we are able to milk I cows. "Farming in the portion of Geor- ! gia would not be all satisfactory to 1 me without a few good dairy 1 cows, pure bred hogs and a good ; flock of poultry. Would advise all of my friends to adopt this pro Progressive Farmer. The eloquent Georgian, the late Senator Thomas E. Watson, said i on one occasion. “There are thousands of devot- , cd ar,d absolutely admirable wives | and mothers in our cities, in our towns, and in our villages, and it gives irif pleasure and pride to tes tify to the fact, hut if you ask me to carry you to the home of the true wife and true mother. one who loses herself entirely in the existence of her husband and children; <jne who is tjuj first to rise >ii the ’ morning land the last to retire at night, one who is al ways at her post of duty and who carries upon her shoulders the burdens of both husband and child ren, one who is keeper of the j household and its good angels, j utterly unselfish, happy in making others hanpy, with no thought of fashionable pleasures, perfectly content in quiet home life in which she does nobody harm and everybody good, taking as many thorns as she can from the path way of her husband and strewing it with as many roses as possible, strengthening him by her inspira tion as he goes forward to fight the battle of life, smoothing the pillow upon which he rests his tired head when he comes home, tender ly rearing the boys and girls who will in turn go away from the door, someday for the last time— the boy to become a good soldier in life’s continuous warfare, and the girl to become some ardent suitor’s wife and be to him what her mother has been to her father; and who, when all the toils are done and her strength is depart ing, will sit calmly in the doorway watching the setting sun with a serene smile upon her face and . never a fear in her heart—ask me I to find where this woman lives, j where this typo is to be found, and J I will make a bee line for the j country.” • What Tom Watson said is true; we all know it. It of.ly remains for us to ask ourselves whether we are doing what we should to show our qppreciation of the work and love of farm mothers. Is the kitch en as well equipped with labor saving conveniences as it ought to be? Have we really installed the most modern water and light sys tems we can afford ? Docs the farm mother get a real vacation once a year. Do we co-operate with hei | as much as we might in "•tying ex pression to her love of me heauti f’.:l—is the house painted; the ' Pome grounds beautified with shrubs, trees anti flowers; the home decorated with reproductions of beautiful paintings? Is there :ome source of cash income of the ; faun ? Is her counsel sought about I all matters affecting the welfare ! of the farm and family? Are hus band and children thoughtful of her comfort and ready to show ; her that loving courtesy an I appreciation which will lighten a!! her burdens and shorten and sweeten her hardest tasks? E1T FOOD FIT EPS 'EM SUM Anti-L at Clause In Contracts Force Living on Singular Diets Hollywood, Cal.—A rolypoly fig ure has assisted some players in the movies; it has skidded many more completely out of pictures. Roseoe Arbuckle, at one time the '•■ading film comedian, and the late John Bunny were boosted to stardom by their expansive girth. Walter Hiers, Hughey Mack and the late Willard Louis, were also aided, rather than jmndicapped, by their rotundity. “Tiny” Goforth, playing Hal Roach and Warner Brothers com edies, isn’t held back at all by his 400 pounds. But if a player of romantic parts shows an incipient double chin, he or she, topples from the heights like a dislodged flower pot. Mi’.iy Miles Minter, a star at 18, admitted that difficulty in con trolling her weight induced her re tirement from the films. Nita Naidi, once an irresistible siren, lias had a long fight out of pic tures against superfluous pound age. She is reported now to be preparing to return to the screen. Barbara LaMarr’s fight against fat so weakened her that she sicken ed and died. Weight Clauses Recognizing the inevitable and unpleasant fate of actors and ac tresses' who lose their lissome sil houettes, several producers have inserted “weight classes’’ in con tracts. If a player passes a certain standard weight, the contract is automatically void. Usually how ever the problem of weight is set by tacit agreement. Pola Negri, weighing 122 pounds has set 125 as her maximum. Bebe Daniels hovers around 120 ar.d Clara Bow varies from 100 to 105, Lois Wilson and Florence Vidor maintain their weight at 117 pounds. Esther Ralston weighs 125 and hopes to stay there. Joan Brawford, Metro-Goldwyn Mayer featured player, exercises three times a day to keep her weight at 120 pounds. Renee Adoree, who is featured in the new Cosmopolitan production “‘The Flaming Forests,” feels that she must keep below 115. When her weight starts creeping up, the little French actress goes on an orange diet. Pauline Starke diets regularly to remain at 115 pounds. Once every two months, for a ten-day period she eats nothing but hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and milk. Carmel Myers relies upon the starch bath, taken once every four days, as a curative measure for fat. She weighs 125 pounds. Mary Philbin and Laura La Plante, the Universal stars, weigh 105 and 110, respectively and they would nullify their contracts if they became more than five poynds heavier. Average 119 rounds Colleen Moore; who weighs 10G pounds, has plenty of leeway for indulgence in thick malted milks. Her contract is good up to 140 pounds. Ann Q. Nilsson, one of the heav iest leading women on the screen weighs 132 pounds. Her maximum is’142. ’ Billie Dove, whose work as lead ing lady for Douglas Fairbanks and Francis X. Bushman, earned her a First National contract, must keep under 122 pounds. She now weighs 116. Leatrice Joyce and Jetta Goudal both 119 pounds would '‘kill” their contracts with Cecil B. De Mille if they lost their “attractive figures.” Jacqueline Logan, play ing the role of Mary Magdalene in the film story of the life of Christ, weighs 115; Vera Reynols, 104; Marie Prevost, 114 and Pris cilla Dean, 125. The average weights of motion picture actiesses, playing romanc ticc parts is therefore approximate ly 119 pounds. Thanks for the buggy ride My grandma used to say. A buggy ride was quite the thing For the girls in grandma’ day. Buggies now would never do For a couple on a lark, ’Cause a buggy can’t go far enough To find a place to park. The span of life is increasing and so is the upkeep. j Gpstonic A»azette. Of course, the dairy business ! mfcans somethin}? to one man and something to another. It is not to : Le disputed, however, that the checks that come with a success ful dairy business are very wel i cotjte in these days of low priced ' cotton. Dattying is hard work- hut it has its returns. We are quoting from file VorkviHc Enquirer relative to |the experience of many fanners in the Hickory Grove section of South Carolina with the • milk business. There is u milk route from the Union creamery running ] through the western section, of York county and The Enquirer is j quoting Mr. Wilkerson of the Hickory Grove community. “A conservative estimate.” said Mr. Wilkerson, “I think, will show 1 that the milk checks of farmers i of our community who are selling butter-fat to ttie creamery at Union, will total $1,500 a month now. And as little as it might 1 seem to lots of folks, I, for one, 1 can testify that $1,500 a month i means right smart to the-business ! men of our community in this present time when comparatively little cotton is selling and when j business is on the blink. so to speak. “A truck sent out by the Union ! creamery comes into our section ; twice' a week for butter-fat,” he went cm to say. ‘‘There are few farmers in our community who dr not meet the truck on the occasion of each trip, with more or less 1 ereum. The check , large or small, mean quite a lot to car people just now; especially to those who be lieve that, cotton iz going to bring a better price a little later on and who are enabled to hold on to what they. have, by living close and by -pending the proceeds of these milk checks for what they actually must have.” Mr. Wilkerson said that there were few farmers in the Hickory Grove area who did not own a cream separator and who used it to advantage. „___ * Ha.‘I to the Roiled Dinner! Dearborn Independent. ' Certain facetious writers and hack lecturers refer slightingly to; that great American in .Litution., the boiled dinner.

Seek New Way to Forecast Weather foe Long Stretch i Siu '.•ameato, CaL— Investiga tions to deterifiiue if it k possible to for . ast weather condition far in advance are being carried out here by Paul Eteilcv, State engi neer. Bailey is attempting to fin Uoiit vvht. \ r or not. there i a s<”cnii fie method for such long distance ■ forecasting, lit- is cupec tally inter ested in feng able to predict the Winter's precipitation as oarly as November 1. “The value of eueh a forecast to t're agricultural und power inter ests of the State is obvious,” Bail ey declared. ‘‘We would know when to commence filling the re. err >n and if water conversation meas ures would be necessary in time to prevent a tremendous loss through the ruhnf of the season's rainfall. Starting with the proven prom ise that the Winter rains of Cali fornia are produced the the mois ture-laden winds of the Pacific blowing over the colder land, State , engineers here have set un the theory that the colder the land the heavier the rainfall, the tempera- I lure of the land being leternuned i to some extent by the amount of . heat received from the sun during j the summer and early fall months, j Temperatures from selected sta- j tions on the coast wore taken in conection with the ocean tempera- I. lures over a long period of years j of research. For a period of years , the theory was corroborated, but during another period it apparent ly was upset. “We believe that the variations are caused by other influences,” said Bailey, “and, we fel we are on the right track. 1 believe that .the time wil come when the winter snowpack in the Sierras can be ac curately forecast in the fall.” i An Interesting llelatinn for Old And Young. \ ( oiili'-'iun Ucalit y. \ alve World. “Listen, sor.: I i;m saying '!>;.• to you os you tin adi'cr. one little I w crumpled under your < hi ck •nd the blond curie, stickily wet on V"t:r damp forehead.
