C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1921 This is i good country. It will continue to be a good country as long as its People are good citizens. Let's have no other kind. --oo President Harding, following the example of President Wilson, is ap pointing literary men to diplomatic posts. At last we are not coming into our J'wn. - - ---- 00 SLASH AGAIN Short skirts for women have been vindicated. Hurrah. Cut off another foot or two! Statistics gathered in Chicago show that the skirt is responsible for reducing the number of accidents to women in boarding and alighting fromr- street cars and trains. "Before the advent of the short skirt innumerable falls were caused by won-en stepl)ing on their own skirts. Now the short skirts Pre cutting dowiv the number of accidents," says the statisticion. Hurrah again! O1f with still a little more! We men will Wok the other way--when our wives are around. --0oo FIGHTERS AND FIGHTERS --o Fistic fanls are specilating at a lively rate on the result of the coming light between Goorges Carpentier, the French war hero, and Jack Dempsey, the American 'fighter" who failed to fight for his country. The money is on Dempsey, but popular sympathy and favor is unques tion:bly with the Frenchman. National pride should prompt a person to root for his countryman, provided that countryman is one worthy of the name. But-Carpentier quit fighting in the ring in order to fight the enemies of his country. He is a man, regardless of what some may think of his calling. -----00 THROWING STONES -0 Fhe public is becoming nauseated with the case of the New York banker wvho brought suit. for divorce against his wife, claiming that another man is the father of her baby boy. The wife fought for her good name and the legitimacy of her child, and she fought hard and with startling results. She charged, and claims to be able to prove, that the banker, while attacking her purity, was even deeper in the mire-was in fact maintaining another woman as his wife under an assumed name. There, too, a child is to be found. Before his attempt to besmirch his wife in order to secure his freedom he was a man of commanding position in the financial world. Now he is no longer at, the head of his bank, is looked upon with suspicion by the public, and is said to be contem)lating a residence abroad. He can be spared-he will not be missed-the air may even be purer when he is gone. The Ameri can people do 1-t look with favor upon guilty men who throw stones. - -- - - -00- -0 THINK THIS OVER -0 Press dispatches have been paving the way for another huge French loan to be placed in the United States. This time, if the dispatches are correct, we will be asked to lend a cool bundred million dollars to our friends across the water, in addition to the billions they already owes us. , The cables also tell another story-a very interesting one. Paris is going fashion mad. The whirl of gayety is the liveliest that has been seen .in many years. Stupendous sums of money are spent on jewels, and dress, and the races, and the opera, and the continual round of expensive receptions and entertainments. They have plenty of money with which to satisfy theit vanity or their (lrving for excitement, but aiparently they have none for the rehabilitation of France. We are not fond of criticising our neighbors, for we wish all na tions and all peoples well. But we feel that the time has arrved ;for a just criticism--a criticism that the French have brought upon themselves by their social prodigality when a season of frugality is imperative. If the French government. wants another hundred million dollars it should apply to its own people who are throwing their money away on frivolity. The French exhibited a sublime patriotism during the war. Even a small portioni of the same pat riotic spirit in time of peaceful reconstruction will supply the Freinch goverimi ent with all of the money it requires. If the French leople who are so prodigal in their spiending have not suf ficient faith in their government to advaice the funds it requires, then that fact itself is suflicient reason for Amnerica to say ''NO.'' (lose the door1 to the new F"rench loan. That Ihund redl malililn10 dllars can lbe profita bly emplIoyedl right here in our1 own country.

F. Conradi, chief entomologist. This pest was imported into Alabama about 1981. presumably in commercial shipment of alfalfa hay from Colorado. It has spread over an area of about 4500 square mil' s, including -all or parts of 13 Alabama counties with Birmingham as a center. Its ability to spread is moi than 30 miles per year .and it is expected to cross the Georgia state line in Cherokee and DeKalb Counties, Ala., Within a fewi months. The bean'beetle attacks and des troys cowpens and all types of kidney beans. Its range of food plants can not yet he determined, but it is a destructive feeder on legumes. The pest is assuming a very threatening attitude and if not controlled it may yet undo to a very great extent the good results secured by diversifica tion unlder boll weevil conditions. The fact that we are so greatly de pendent on legumes as soil builders. forage and food crops leads some of our best students to fear that this may be a worse pest than the pink boll worm.
