I from the cities and carrying It to remote sections. It is destroying the reasons why people should go to the cities to live. "Industries are going back to the country and the small town. The cities have the greatest fight they ever had if they are to hold their places under the new order.

The small place has advantages for Industry that the city can hardly meet. The cities have got to make a readjustment, recognize a new force." As a prophet, Dr. Dyer may be less infallible. His prophecy is Interesting, just the same. We have been calmly assuming that the present drift of population toward the cities is going to continue indefinitely; what an upset is in prospect if this flow is presently to be reversed! His thesis does not sound unreasonable, either.

A visit to any one of the half dozen largest cities in this land is about enough to convince any unprejudiced observer that a great city, in many ways, is not a very good place to live. Year by year the congestion grows more unbearable, the noise and dirt grow more oppressive, the time that must be spent in the mere process of getting to and from work lengthens and lengthens. New York is already giving indications that it is just a trifle too big for any earthly use. Chicago is beginning to display the same symptoms. And some other cities are not far behind.

After all, why not? Deification of the big city has gone just a little bit too far. The genuine advantages that come from living In a smaller place tend to get overlooked. If Dr. Dyer is right, and a wholesale splitting up of our cities Is in prospect, some enormous, surprising changes are due. feci that I am fully equipped to do in a way tnat wouia surprise even the old Colonel himself and maybe some other folks.

The Three Incumbents Enter Race For Re-Election To Offices FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1980 first thing I discovered that should be immediately changed is this system of sounding the fire siren to mark the beginning of the Thursday closings.

That isn't the way we did it In Bright Eyes, Ga. We closed up the town there every day at noon and didn't do another thing until 10 clock the next morning. And, by the way, if they would use that system here, and pay city employes for the number of hours they worked, it would save Three incumbents entered the race for re-election, subject to the democratic primary on June 3, by qualifying Thursday before Circuit Clerk F. E. Fenno.

State's Attorney L. R. Baker, County Solicitor W. E. Roebuck and Criminal Court Judge A.

G. Hartridge formally entered the race for re-election by qualifying. Mr. Baker, member of the law "firm of Baker White, is opposed by Edwin Ostcen, local attorney, while HALF HOLIDAY IS OBSERVED CHILD HEALTH DAY IS OBSERVED HERE; PRIZES ARE GIVEN the other candidates to date remain unopposed. a lot of the taxpayers' money.

But anyway, I was going to tell you how we signalled the noon closings. We didn't use the siren, because, in the first place, it was broken, and in the second place we didn't have any. The' way we did it was to ring dinner bells. And believe me, everything closed up right now when the dinner bell was heard. A good loud dinner bell has been the salvation of many a town.

It is one of the essential needs of West Palm Beach. While none of the incumbents announced for re-election before qualifying, it had been eenerallv understood all of them would seek to retain their offices.

As previously has been said in these columns, taxes and public expenses are inseparable, that when public expenses are excessively high taxes, as a consequence, are the same, and that there can be no relief from the tax burden unless governmental expenses are brought within reasonable bounds.

The statement just repeated is amply confirmed by facts that exist, in other states as well as in Florida, for practically all other states have tax problems, as well as this state has, these problems being more serious in some states than in others. Take the nearby state of North Carolina, for instance. Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell of that state, in a recent article written by him for and published by the United States Daily, on Depletion of Property Values By Tax Absorption, says that we are learning a great many things by experience, that "We are learning that there is a limitation to the proportion of the total of earnings of our people that will be given up for taxes under any scheme of 'plucking the goose' that ingenuity may be able to set up;" that "Certainly we are learning that there is a limitation upon the amount of revenue that any given class of property will stand for, and that this limitation relates itself to the earnings of the property and to the advantages it receives from governmental policies," and that with equal certainty "we are learning that tax policy, like that of business and industry, must adjust to changing conditions.

Any business that does not with a weather eye keep itself in adjustment with changing conditions will soon run into failure, and policies have no exemption from this rule." Commissioner Maxwell is not stating mere theories; he is stating facts, such as he finds in his own state, and such as are to be found in other states. In his own state, Mr. Maxwell says, "the total tax burden has in ten years increased from to $09,000,000," and that in North Carolina "We are beginning to learn that it (the tax burden) has passed the peak of reasonableness as applied to real estate, as evidenced by an unprecedented volume of foreclosures and tax sales." The same, he says, is true as applied to property in active use as well as with reference to cut-over forest lands, for instance. Further along in his article, Commissioner Maxwell says: It is quite generally recognized now that public expenses have been Increased at an extravagant rate in the last decade in nearly all American states, or stated differently, that we have overestimated our ability to bear tax burdens. I know this is true with respect to North Carolina.

Our public expenses multiplied four times In eight years. The total tax burden In my state last year was greater than the value of our cotton crop, was greater than the value of our tobacco crop, and was equal to nearly nine-tenths of the total net earnings of all organized business conducted in corporate form. The total tax burden in the state was and the total net earnings in the state of all corporations, foreign and domestic railroads, public seivice, business and industries was Following this, and as indicating what is necessary to be done, in North Carolina, and also in other states, Commissioner Maxwell says: This trend must be dealt with and arrested, or it will absorb property values as well as income. There must be at least a partial recasting of the total volume of public expenses, and then future increases in public expenses must mesh in with the trend of earnings of income. We are entitled to have some other objective in this life than that of supporting agencies of public service.

This, then, Is something that demands serious and jractlcal consideration-reduction of public expenses, without which there can be no actual and positive relief from the burden of taxes, no matter what may be done by way of seeking to provide improved taxation methods. Merely shifting the tax burden will not bring relief to taxpayers. Nor will relief be brought unless there is reduction of public expenses, along with reforms in taxation methods.

HAS THIRD TEETH knew, too, that only a dog-like devotion could continue to live under the conditions that Natalie Imposed upon him. "You've already decided that I'm guilty," he said wearily. "Never mind the charges, whatever they are." "Perhaps you're right!" Natalie cried, jumping to her feet. "There isn't anything you could say. It you like to cheapen yourself, and humiliate me, I suppose you'll go on doing It as long as I'll stand for it." A tilckle of anger penetrated Alan's new-found Indifference.

"That's laying it on pretty heavy, Natalie," he snid sharply. "Is It?" Natalie flung back at him. "Well, maybe you think it's an Insignificant matter to sit before a whole roomful of women, and listen to one of them tell about the hit she'd made with your husband." Alan's face portrayed his bewilderment. "Don't stand there, trying to look dumb," Natalie flamed at him. "It's too easy for you." Alan felt a little better.

Tho matter was too ridiculous to be serious. "Someone was kidding you, Natalie," he said hopefully. But Natalie refused to accept his explanation, or to believe, when she told him about Wanda Terry, his assertion that he hadn't given the woman a second thought Finally Alan gave up trying to convince her of his Innocence, and told her almost in plain words to go to the devil. rpHE cook and the maid ate the yyP until the moment his eye fell iw upon the public teh-phone, he hadn't thoucln of anyone to help him forget his troubles, but then he did.

Alan might be In his business Bull, but "I'm going to, anyway!" Phtllipa decided, and reached for her prettiest evening gown. Her only evening wrap she rejected, as being too elaborate for wear with an escort not iu formal clothes. She chose, instead, her dressiest coat, a creation luxuriously furred with blue fox, which she had bought at a sale ot used models. From her paper hatbox she brought forth a tissue turbau to wear with it. Having decided what she would wear, she moved swiftly to put the finishing touches to her complexion.

and coat on a chest, and went in to join her. Almost instantly he knew that something had happened. She looked at him, but her glance was cold. There was not a trace of welcome in her expression. He halted a step or two away from her, and his desire to kiss her died as suddenly as tho sight of her had inspired it.

Awkwardness seized liim. He felt, for a moment, like a stranger In his own home. He had often tried to analyze Natalie's ability to make hlrn feel this way as though he were guilty of some misdeed. He had come to believe thnt It was purely dread of a domestic scene. And he had also decided thnt It was better to get it over with, since evading the trouble bad never seemed possible.

Sickening disappointment flooded over him, as he stood there and waited for her to speak. She was so unutterably beautiful, even in anger. Her lovely lips were drawn out of shape, and her whole face was hard. But It was the hardness of feeling, aud not of a stony heart Bitter feeling, though, and Alan bated It He would have given his soul at thnt moment if he could have taken her in his arms, and found her as sweet as he knew she could be provided she would never chango again. Tho hopelessness of such a dream lay in the smoldering fire of Natalie's eyes, as she continued to stare at him.

Alan summoned all the courage he could muster. "Couldn't we put it off until after dinner?" he asked suddenly. "I'm terribly The small-boy note In his voice tore at Natalie's heart, until It occurred to her that his concern was more for his food thau for her. The thought was unjust, of course, but she was In an unreasoning mood. "Put what off?" she asked icily.

"Why," Alau began, then laughed shortly; "It seeni3 to me we always open our merry little wars In this fashion. I say 'let's and you say 'wait for As If you hadn't already got me all laid out, ready for the Illy." Natalie's eyes narrowed ominously, as the last ot ber self-control began to slip. "Your kind of humor," she said tensely, "Is a poor thing to hide behind. But It's all the defense you have, isn't It? Certainly you can't seriously defend yourself." Alan shrugged. The protective Indifference that he so much deplored, and feared, was coming over htm.

With a light-hearted gesture, ho flung his hat 5 NCEL i lontsi 1 Your Children By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The human mind has become voracious, and, greedy to learn. It is demonstrated everywhere not only in schools but in music halls, art galleries, and lecture halls. Facts, facts, and more facts are what we are after. Facts about art, facts about things, facts about life! The public is out to learn. It wants to know everything from the way a steel ingot is turned out to why Amos and Andy are so popular.

Candidly, there is a regular Renaissance of learning. It is in the air. Everybody's doing it. Stuffing the old reservoir in the head with all it can hold and, according to a scientific edict, there is always room for more. The brain never gets too full, never gets over-crowded, or too tired, or too satisfied.

The body tires, the blood to the brain may not be so good, the heart may fag at its work; complexes or emotions may put up a battle against it, but Old Man Brain just keeps rollin' along. I wonder how many people, by the way, know this: We talk of "brain fag" so glibly when there is no such thing. Physical fag, emotional fag, or nerve fag yes. But brain cells are one of God's miracles. They do not tire.

But there is a sad, sad story to this prologue. Through bad training, inertia, and pure rust the brain has a bad habit, that, after it gets in its ways, is hard to break. It forgets! Not because it has to learn too much, but because it hasn't been, trained to remember. At six it is as plastic as putty, figuratively speaking. Impressions act like prints on wet concrete.

From then on until twenty-five it is soft and pliable, and memory is in its heyday, We seldom forget things we do or learn before that time. Then what happens? It begins to stiffen, so to speak, Bomewhat for biological reasons, but about 90 per cent from disuse. We develop sloppy, disorganized, undisciplined habits of thinking and then resent it when the old white and gray matter on top lies down on us and goes to sleep. It-is observation observation of every little detail surrounding an object or related to a fact. If children observe carefully and associate other thing3 with the point in mind there is a fine habit cultivated here that will take deep root and bloom and bear fruit all life long.

Teach them to look at a tree, or a clock, or a house, not as a single object but as related to a group. We call that relativity. It can be applied to lessons; history, for instance, should be taught not as an isolated story of a certain country but concurrently with the history of other countries. Contemporary history draws the whole picture. It tells the child why such a thing happened.

Association! Yes, I believe these two things, both observation and association, are greatly neglected. choice parts of the chicken, and dwelt grandly In the front parlor, had obtained some kohl from Hannah wondered If the Mr. and Mrs. would make up, and be willing to eat chicken hash the next day. "But I'id afraid their quarrelln' is soon goln' to be a habit they can't break," she predicted to Frances.

"We should worry It they don't eat," Frances returned, and helped herself to some more chicken. "You're sure a swell cook, Hannah. Think ot ber not touchln' a bite on that tray." She referred to Natalia, who bad refused the food Hannah sent up to her room, after Alan had stalked out of the house, dlnnerless, and seething with Indignation.
