Just as the Peace Conference at The
Hague was about to come to an end

posal for q permanent court was saved,
with the assistance of Sir Edward Fry
representing England, and the Baron
Won Bibersteln, the head of the Ger

concession that the judges of the prize

DEFTED JovE AND DIED.

Hon. Tom Kearns Ia reported to have
made the statement that lie viii con-
tinue his anti-Amerlcan policy until
death.
II the gentleman happens to have. I'm
his somewhat famous library any
thing on the heores OF early Greek
myths. he should ask someone to find
tho story Of old King Salmoneus and
read it to him, for the lesson II con-
talns,
Salmoneus was a very naughty king,
whose stubhorness was equaed only
by his ignorance He built his city
near the Mount OF Olympus, In order
that he might be in position TO defy
the gods. whose existence he denied.
Tho one crazy idea that possessed him
was that he could mako as much thun-
der as Jupiter himself, and time and
again he challenged that deity TO a con-
test In matchmaking. Mythologists
tell us that the king used 10 hang upon
his chariot drums and tambourlnes and
kettles and chains and anything else
/ that would make a noise, and thus
equipped he went forth defying Jupiter.
Needless 10 say. the gods did not take
any notice OF the rawlings Of the ma
Mac and he came to harbor the mis-
taken notion that he had frightened
the olympian deities,
But one day according 10 the story,
the clouds gathered dark around the
mountain, and It was evident that a
storm Was coming. Poor Salmoncus,
whom he saw this, Jumped to the con-
clusion that Jupiter at last had deigned
10 accept his challenge. So he or
dered his chariot in readiness. and the
matchmaking devices were multiplied

COST OF LIVING.

The New York World, locking over
the exorbltant prices of all kinds of
fruit and vegetables, says, There
should be some way of narrowing the
gap between the soil and the table to
the great benefit of both producer and
consumers"
The paper points out that at the
height of the fruit and vegetable season
retail prices are higher and the quality
IL poorer than usual. Peaches which
should sell at Ave cents a quart are a
quarter for a two-quart box. and I'M
sound at that Apples cost more than
bananas. New potatoes cost the con-
sumer as much for two pecks as the
Virginia truckman receives for 21k
bushel bag. MIX has gone up. But
ter Is going up. Eggs are higher. Sweet
corn is 30 cents dozen. The eggplants
are 10 cents apiece.
The World concludes that almost all
farm and garden products cost the con-
sumner 81 for every dollar the farmer
gets. Hence the question how to mar
row the gap between the soil and the
table.
We presume the true solution of that
problem will be found in intelligent
corporation among the consumers and
producers. When that principle is fully
understood, there VIII be no artificial
ANA Illegal fixing OF prices, and there
will be no trust domination, because by
cooperation the people win be indepen-
dent of the combinations that aim at
monopoly.

 LAY DOWN TOOLS
L. G N. Announces That 1t Will Con. tinue to Maintain Open
 Shop Policy.

According to the best information ob- tainable thirty-two machinists employed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company walked out on strike yesterday morning in sympathy with the members of the same organization who went on strike at Decatur on Tuesday Of these thlrty-two men fifteen are employed in the Louisville and Nashville shops in Birmingham, fifteen at the Boyles shops and two at Bessemer.
 Superintendent Thomas F. Brooks of the Louisville and Nashville road was busy all yesterday afternoon looking aft CT the work in the shops here and at Boyles, but said that he had not yet done anything toward filling the places of the men who had quit.
 From statements obtained at the Louis- vile and Nashville offices only the ma ohinsts are on strike, while those not af- illiated with them remain at work. The Louisville and Nashville shops employ both union and non-union men, and ac- cordng to statements of officials will con tinue to be operated as "open'' shops.

TEMPEST" GIVEN
 BY HIGH SCHOOL
Great Crowd Attends Annual Presenta- ton of Shakespearean Drama
 By Library Societies.

The literary societies of the Birmingham High school gave their fifth annual pre- sentation last night in the auditorium of the High school. There were not enough seats to accommodate the crowd present, and many were compelled to stand.
 The play given this year was, The Tempest" and the action would have done credit to professional talent. It could have been surpassed only by those who have made this life long study.
 In the chief role the costumes were gor- geous in their display, and the staging was very effective.
 There was not single hitch In the entire performance. There were no long waits between acts, and the curtain rose with clock-like regularity, as if an exper- fenced stage manager had been in charge.
 The close of each act was in every instance the occasion for a loud outburst of applause. The dance of the Nymphs and Keepers was especially well received by the audience, and fully deserved all the commendation bestowed.
