COST OF THE BIG LINERS.

From Engineering.
 Twenty years ago, when the first ves- sels of 20 knots were introduced on the Atlantic, it is said that the cost for each voyage was about a90O0 to 911 ,O00 (s45. .o00 to s55,OoO). Ten years ago, when 2e1a to 32 knot ships were put In service, this was increased to about $95, ,00O, and now 1t is calculated that the expense of 241s- knot Mauretania or Lusitania trip cannot be short of s1500oO
 As to the total population of Atlantic liners, larger figures apply to the emi- grant ships from the Mediterranean. For 1907 the average is 1889, whereas in the previous year it was 1056 The maximum average per ship for any one line this year is 1898, the mean of the White Star Mediterranean liners.
 That the public do not always favor high-speed ship is shown by the aver age number of passengers per ship. Of the principal lines, the White Star com- pany is at the top of the list, so far as first-class passengers are concerned, with an average of about 2l9 per ship depart ing from Southampton in the latter part of the year and of 165 per ship from the Mersey in the early part of the year. And it should be remembered that none of their ships can now be classed in the first rank as regards speed

eaut In insurance Business.

Col. o. P. Gaut, for To years with the Simmons Hardware company, and a man whose acquaintance is second to that of no other man in the state, has entered the insurance field. He has been made special executive officer in the Protective Life Insurance company Of Birmingham, which was organized last fall, and of which ex-Gov William D. Jelks is president.
 Yes, it is true that l had left the hardware business" stated Colonel Gaut yesterday afternoon. During the b years in which l travelled the state in the in terest of my firm, I made a wide &C., quaintance, and feel that l will be able to dispose of considera ble insurance within the next few months. The Protective Life Insurance company, as is known, was organized last fall, and has s10o,- Oo0 in interest bearing collateral on de- poslt with the state treasurer. The company is already doing a big business, and given substantial footing by the members of the board of directors, will eventually, in my opinion, become one of the leading institutions of America"

Combating a Lingering Pest

Judge Feagin fined physician $t00 for concealing patient who had small pox. The fine was none too heavy, for the offense was one against the health of the entire city. No person should commit an offense of that nature, least of all physician, who knows the risks involved.
 It Is reflection upon the manage ment of health affairs in this city and county that smallpox is ever present. Not evenu in the season of sunshine and open doors is it ever completely stamped out This need not be and should not be hereafter
 The action of Judge Feagin will have a good effect, and if the county board of health and the city board of health will do their full duty the foul d.sease can be driven out. It is driven out of other cities, and Birmingham should take hold of this matter in earnest. The Board of Aldermen and the Board of Revenue have duties to perform in this important matter.

Words of Praise.

T met Fred N. Innes of New York, the distinguished bandmaster, when he was in Birmingham a few years ago. and was glad indeed to renew my acquaintance with him." said Capt. Frank P. OBrien. "I brought Innes here years ago. In his early days he was a trombone soloist, having been the solo attraction of Gill mores band. When he organized his own band he made a success of it from the start. He is a high conductor and according to musicians who have heard 1t in recent years his is the finest orchestral band in this country. It is perhaps the only brass and reed organization that plays, in addition to popular music, en- tire symphonies. Beethoven's first and fifth symponies and one of TschaikonslSi' S symphony are in his repertoire. Other bands play symphonic sketches, but it is not often that they attempt full sym phonies.
 Times is a gentleman of excellent bus mess talents and straightforward meth ods, as well as an able musician, and what am glad to see Is his professional success has not turned his head. He is the same genial, kindly disposed man that he was when first knew him, and pro- fessional jealousy is not in his make up. He is on intimate terms with rival conductors, and has a good word for each of them. I hope Innes will be able to bring his band to Birmingham before the season ends."
