It is the intention to conth.ue the
experiments of signaling until some
definite results are obtained.
Mr. Macbeth, the London manager
of Mr. Marconi's wireless company,
is enthusiastic in the belief that Mars
can be communicated with and he
and Marconi will use all the means
that science will afford to achieve
t'hs great result. As Mars is 50,000,000
miles away Marconi's undertaking
seems stupendous, if not
ubsurd, but strange things have happened
since the invention of the telegraph
by Morse in 1837.
There has been steady improvement
along all lines'of human endeavor
and the prophecy of "Mother
S.hipton" that "carriages without
horses shall ride" anticipating the
automobile. Flying in tin- air was
also among her prophecies and perhaps
other wonders now acconmlished
but then i yarded as ?osurd and vidi

So don t r.iake fun of Marconi and
his efforts t i talk to Mais II - may

Tilt MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT
Some of the farmers organizations
are urging the prompt acceptance by
the government of Henry Ford's offer
for the Muscle Shoals plant. They
realize that the manufacture of fertilizer
at Muscle Shot; s will be a
irrent boon ?<? tho .
? - ..........K Illicit?^
of the country. This in addition to
the wonderful possibilities that may
he developed by having such a great
organization located in the South.
The advance in the price of cotton,
if kepi, will enable the fanners of
the South to see day light ahead.
Not only will the advance help the
cotton farmer, but the country merchant
and all liner of business will
enjoy the prosperity,. sure to follow.
As an exchange puts it:
"The effect of the recent rise in
the price of cotton will be felt in
every phase of industry in the
South?in every home and at every
hearthstone."
ADVERTISING FOR A LEADER
A well informed politician, writing
to the press after a visit to
Washington city says:
"Never was the time when le idership
was so necessary, never was the
Republican party so bankrupt in
leadrship, and it is the absence of
leadership more than anything else
that hampers Mr. Harding."
If President Harding had the mental
ability and the political sagacity
of his predecessor in the White House
he would be his own leader.
OUR LUXURIES
The candy bill of this < ountrv last
year was $ j()S,( ()(),umO.
In this connection it is proper to
state that another luxury, cigarettes,
produced more tax revenue than
freight transportation; as much as all
beverages, distilled and soft; live'
times as much as jewelry of all descriptions,
and fifteen million more
than all other forms of tobacco together,
including smoking and chewing.

Postmaster General Hays:
A Fourth Class Postmaster
I do wish that Mister Hays
Could see my sweet and charming
ways
And how polite and nice 1 am
W hen some guy comes to mail a j
ham
How sweetly to those nuts 1 smile
When they are asking all the while
For stuff they've bought from SearsRoebuck
Ti whom they sent one lonesome
buck.
They're looking for a bale of trip",
A kiddy-kar or meerschaum pipe;
A n/1 I*"- ' '
...... .v/u.... Lin- uiuce tney will slick
Till I get peeved and durn near slick.
But yet I have to smile and say,
"Your package did not come today." j
And when they draw an ugly sigh
As if to say?"I think you lie;"
1 spread them one elastic grin ,
And say, " 'Twill soon be comin' in.":
If Mister Hays would come and see |
The way some folks are treating me
I konw, full well, that he would sob
And he would let me keep my job
He'd say?"Dear Doe, if you'll stay
here |
I'll boost your pay two beans per j

THE CRIME OF CIVILIZATION
By E. Paul Knolls, M.D. H
ejllh Officer Oranpebu<> County
The greatest ideal that can inspire
and direct any body of people is
that one which leads to the betterment
of mankind. This complex life,
which civilization has developed for
as,may be summarily divided into certain
distinct phnses. Without intention
of being arbitrary, one might say
I that man's life is essentially the sum
, of his mental, moral and physical
well-being. In the consideration of
these vital factors we will see that
one is neglected in large part.
In the development of the minds
of the youth of America, great ad\
ancemont has been attained coincident
with national standardization of
the essential factors in education.
1 ')ur public and private institutions of
learning.while far from ideal,do meet
the emergencies of our present day
social, economic and political life ami
in the main are satisfactory to the
greater mass of the people. From our
' earliest intelligence starts our religi
ious training. The first complicated
sentence taught to the infant is usually
a prayer. The sects, creeds and
organizations are in great numbers
and well organized, while the AngloSaxon
civilization has not brought
with it the pinnacle of morality yet
.it is obvious that the field of religion
is crowded with men and women of
zeal and ability and with time they
will evolve the greatest issue which
man has to face. Now there remains
'.hat great domain which is purely
physical. Since no life is even comparatively
complete or well rounded
if this phase is not nrouerlv consider
ed, and since moral and mental well
being1 are, in large part, dependent
upon the physical status of the man,
we cannot give too great consideration
to such an important factor.
Now the physical side of mantis
well within that domain of the profession
which deals with the curative
art. Yet the hopes of medicine are
not confined to the treatment of the
individual. Unfortunately the physical!
has too long treated the individud
after he has fallen ill to some
trended disease. This is exactly op.osite
to the plan to abolish ignorance
and vice. We do not wait until
one is an adult to begin an education
or to teach religion. We do in all
cases care for the individual cases
but the idea to prevent ignorance
imi vice hy early instruction. Yet in
onnection with that all important
factor,our health, the idea has never
successfully pervaded the public
omd That this is no fault of medical
ujii goes without saying. '1 he public
v< exactly what they want. Unfor'
vm* 'v we are not gifted with a
health conscience. Religious training
gives us the laws of morality; the
rate gives us certain laws respecting
our relation with our neighbor,
t at our body, our health is ours to
do with as we choose and if we mistreat
it we do not suffer either the
anger of the law of the land nor
twines of conscience. Civilised people
have been content to pass anti-spitting
laws in public places, doing away
.. ;.u 1.1:?
v. mi jjuuiic urunting cups and laying
i'lvvn certain regulations concerning
contagious diseases and then to sit
back in snug satisfaction that they
avo done a very wonderful thing. It
must be admitted that these regulations
are prolific of great good and
are truly commendable yet they rep
resent only the A B C of preventive
medicine.
The great war has taught us many
i i.? 1 ' ? *' *
, . .MiiiB, it iniips uic one^ wnicn will
(give to posterity the greatest good
are entirely medical in consideration.
Preventive medicine, as applied to
large groups of people, has been
ihown definitely and conclusively,not
to L?e an idle dream of some visionary
idealist but a potent and applicable
principle. The public, generally
speaking, is always a number of
years behind science and more especially
medical science. The most
striking example c I' thus is shown by
the fact that the miasmic theory is
still held by thousands of people, con666

cerning the cause of "fevers." Yet j
the time is i-nreJy ripe to expose such
fallacies to the very individual ana |
?> get hit- cooperation as one of the (
mass, to assist in the removal of the
real conditions which da cause "lev-'
ers." As a matter of l'act the time is
' rapidly contin^ whe 1 the individual .
cannot pasi judgment on these mat- |
ters. The freedom uf the the ' land!
of the free' does i?"t allow one to
maintain anything which n ay be or (
is a menacv, to ms neighbor's health (
or happiness. Increasing density of (
population and the swift readjustments
of civilization to changing conditions
and modes of living has caused
the older individualism of Arne
| rican life to surrender to collective'
| or social modes of control and action, j
| This transition is not affected without j
a struggle. No one gives up a privilege,
even though it be odious, without
a protest. Yet we have seen such !
vast and er bracing movements sweep '
across all opposition such as national 1
prohibition, woman suffrage, com-j
oulsory education and many other
things as important and affecting the
daily life of the individual.
Malaria, hookworm, typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and infant diarrhoel
diseases are the big headliners that
are ravishing the life blood of our
great country. All these are absolutely
preventable. Then is it not a most
terrible crime to allow them to-per
ist? Too long have we tolerated 1
these dreadful conditions. Our su-j
pinencss constitutes an offense
against public welfare that is measured
by human lives. Since we know | *
that each of these conditions persist j1
and increase because our individual j 1
homes do not have the proper sanita- *
tion and cleanliness, the crime comes
to each home. We may lind homes '
that are surrounded with all that our '
ereat civilization has developed for '
the comfort of man and one that is ^
an embodiment of culture and lux- '
ili-v In 11... i '
. ... vitv i7nvi\ %vtiiu ui tnuc nome,
we too often find conditions that do *
not coine up to common decency. 1
. Perhaps the one great force that op- f
jcrates against the correction of such '
a condition is the intense conservatism
that pervades that home. Famil- *
.rity breeda contempt and that family '
has been accustomed to live under 1
these conditions and their fathers and *
their father's father did so and since
comfort is not materially increased in 1
proportion to the labor expended, we
would lind that, in many cases, the L
family would not only not cooperate c
in removing the condition but would 1
resent the inference that their fathers
j had not been decent and that thev c
iii turn had not exercised intelligent <J
propriety in the maintenance of "
their establishment. The point at issue
is that one need not point at the 1
poor and so-called ignorant as the 1
harborers of diseases and bad conditions,
they can be found on Mr. !'
Roherfelds place as well as on poor 11
John's place.
Statistics concerning the incidence (
of the various diseases and the toll (
I of human lives each year, I regard t
i.s out of place here. Yet to the student,
