Every inventor who is study ing aviation should address himself to this feature of the problem, and in this way good to mankind may spring from inc tragic fate of Ralph Johnstone.

Winston COuuty'S Future Place

The Cullman correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser intimates that the republican vote of Winston county will be a source of study when districts are reapportioned next winter by the leg islature. The vote of Winston cut Mr. Burnett's majority in the Seventh con- gresslonal district to less than TOO, and the same vote in the Third senatorial district defeated the democratic candi- date for senator. MT. St. John, and elect ed Mir Sloan, republican.
 The legislature will be asked. says the correspondent, to take Winston out of the Seventh congressional district and to put 1t with a heavily democratic coun- ty when the senatorial districts are reap portioned. Winston Is an excellent coun- tv, full of fine orchards and hidden re- sources, and its only sin Is an excess of republicans on election day.

NO DIRTY SOLDIERS
From the New York Mall

From the New York Mall.
 There is no body of equal numerical strength in the public service among whose members the habit of cleanliness Is enforced more relentlessly than in the United States army and If two men with military aspirations had kept that fact in mind they would not have pre- sented themselves to recruiting office in Altoona the other day as applicants for enlistment. The recruiting officer, after superficial observation. conclud- ed that no matter how well qualified they might be in other respects, tn cir lack of personal neatness proved them to be undesirable citizens, and they were told that the army had no use for them. This is one of many in- stances which show that an army or navy recruiting office is the last place that an unclean man can apply at for employment with any hope of success.

Count TOlStOi'S Critical Illness

Perplexed by travel and by reporters and by the Greek church, which is en- deavoring to withdraw it's interdct against the great Russian, some say the greatest Russian who ever lived, Count Tolstoi, lies critically i'll in a hut at a fiag station on a railroad.
 This man who represents altruism in its highest and most practical form this man who had adopted in the utmost realistic manner the creed of peace and hard labor and good will to men, is near to death. He is in the S3d year of his age.
 He was bravely trying to reach a friend ly institution in the Caucasus on the nIack Sea. It is unfortunate that all who vera near to him had not aided him 4,o reach the destination, for there he bould have ended as he desired a fruit ful and laborious life. There he could have been buried regardless of the de- cree of the holy synod. At his home all places of burial had been closed against his dead body. He will never reach the Caucasus. The world fears his life will be ended in the hut at Astapova. The .~raat author belongs not to Russia alone The civilized world watches his struggle

GOOD HUNTING

From the Youths Companion.
 It was at St. Andrews in Scotland, the home of golf, where the links stretch away over the moors by the sea, and dear. quiet Aunt Mary had gone up from London to visit a golfing family of neph- ews and nieces. At tea the first after noon someone managed to stop talking golf long enough to ask, Well, Aunt Mary. and how did you spend the morn- ine?"
 "oh, I enjoyed myself immensely, my dear. I went for g. walk on the moor.
 "A good many people seemed to be about, and some of them called out to me in a most eccentric manner. But I didn't take any notice of them. And ch, my dear. found such number of curious little round thingsl brought them home to ask you what they are.''
 Hereupon Aunt Mary opened her work lag and produced "A golf balls.

A MODERN PRISON

From the Washington Post.
 They do some things better in-Madrid. They have a prison there which Is justly recommended as a model establishment. Among other forms of entertainment pro- yided for the unwilling guests of this Spanish hostelry is a lively literary sheet produced by the most talented of their number. The editor-in-chief Is a distin- guished literary criminal, who has sur rounded himself with a thoroughly com petent staff picked from the prison ranks Some of them were professional jour nalists in happier days. and others were selected by the editor himself, his prac- ticed eye being quick to detect symptoms of ability even in quarters so unlikely.
 Luckily-shall we say?-there are enough of peccant printers on hand to set up the sheet. and they pride themselves on their neat handicraft. An Illustrator has been found in the person of an artist who is expiating a past peccadillo. Under the editor there is an editorial writer who was once famous as an international swindler, and in pursuit of that calling learned nearly every European language, ard now, as the humor takes him, he pours forth his lucubrations in Spanish, German, Italian, French or English.
 By courtesy of the governor, who is evidently sensible of the consideration due to the abilities of his guests. the mem bers of the staff are all lodged in one part of the prison, which is on that ac- count called the intellectual floor" Pre- sumably conferences are held as to the material which shall appear in each is- sue, and one can imagine a pleasant pie ture of the various contributors seated around a table a la London Punch dis cussing ways and means of maintaining the high standard they have set them selves.
 The paper has added materially to the pleasure of the prison inmates, who are eagerly on the lookout for each succeed ing number. Some really excellent ar- tieles have appeared, and there is always e column of verse, for, of course, in &C., cordance with well-established precedent, to the fancy of the immured poets stone walls do not prison make nor iron bars a cage. We learn with pleased surprise that the greatest hit yet made has been @ series of articles on etymology and phlology, 50 that at times the whole prison is one great debating society loud in the discussion of the origin of some obscure words.
 If 1t be true, as the Latin poet tells us, that the pursuit of art and literature softens asperities and corrects morals, these Madrid prisoners, writers and read CTS alilSe are getting a rare opportunity to emerge into the world once more bet ter. wiser, and reformed men. The ex- pertinent might be worthy of trial on larger scale.

CHAPTERS IN LIFE OF HALE

heard him recall. He was visiting Horacs Mann in the early days of Antioch col lege, and in their walk about the grounds they encountered sign reading, Gen tlemen are requested not to spit tobacco juice in the presence of ladies'" Hale exclaimed against it, But 1t is neces- sary," said Mann At least soften some- how said Hale Put it in Latin ; How could you say 1t in Latin?" asked Mann. Why" replied Hale, promptly, Ne ouid nimis-ne quid nigh Missn A
 suppose Hale's exuberant imagination sometimes took him off his feet made him over hopeful in his estimates and betrayed him into practical mistakes He was not flrst-class business man. and he sometimes got into difficulties from which his friends had to extricats him-a help they were glad to give. But, In the large and just view, his vivid fancy, along with his humor and play fulness, contributed vastly not only to getting good work done but done with ease and joy. Never was a sinner who lSd and made so much fun as this saint! once happened into the lecture room of his church when he was giving a reading from his own stories. The story chosen was The Yellow Dog"-one 6f his fantasies It started with the going of Joseph to Egypt as prisoner of a com pany of Midianites, as told in Genesis, Joseph, so ran the tale, one night tried to steal away and go back to Canaan. He got safely as far as the borders of the encampment, when yellow dog parked, gave the alarm, and Joseph was recaptured. Now, said the story, if the yellow dog had not parked, Joseph would have escaped. Jacobs family would never have gone to Egypt, and the whole course of the worlds history would have been different. And then ensued a sup postitious history of what might have been for the next 40 or 90 generations, As listener to his drollery I had my eye on the audience and they were the best of all. A company of genuine Bostonans cultivated. serious with high purposes and a good deal of dead-in-earnest Gall this one easily guessed if he didn't see)- and all these excellent folks with a broad smile often rippling into laughter over a ridiculous story of yellow dog and a history that never happened! And I said to myself, "Who embroiders a se- rious gospel with a halo of mirth like our dear old Hale?'

LORD KITCHENER AND MARRIAGE

ffom the London Daily News.
 There has been a good deal of gossip at one time and another as to Lord kitcheners views on marriage for sol diers. He would not have a married off, cer on his staff in Egypt, but the fact that he is to be best man to his friend, Gen. Sir Archibald Hunter. seems to prove that his objections are not in- superable.l Lord Kitchener is 60 years of age and the circumstance of his still being a bachelor has led lot of people to call him a woman hater.
 He himself tells the story of an en- counter which he once had with a young lady. It was in India. at small hill station. A tennis party had been ar ranged at which practically all the offi- cers hoped to play. Then to the general consternation Lord Kitchener ordered a parade of the entire garrison on the very day appointed for the tennis. Have you forgotten the tennis party?" the young lady asked him. Not in the least" was the grim reply. "Well, then" said the girl. in extreme indignation. q think you're a perfect beast.'

Where iha Income Tax Stands

Alabama, Illinois, Georgia, Maryland South Carolina, Oklahoma and Mississippi have ratified the sixteenth amendment to the federal constitution and 27 more states must ratify 1t in order to make 1t part of the constitution.
 Forty-two legislatures will meet In 1911. and out of this number surely 27 ratifi- cations can be secured in these days of democratic ascendancy. In Ohio Maine, Iowa, New Hampshire, Indiana, Wiscon- sin. Montana, Kansas, Idaho, Nevada, North Dakota and Coloroda the latest platforms of both parties favor the amendment. These states will beyond doubt ratify the ameadment bringing the number of notifications up to 1s. The platforms of the republicans of Call ifornia and Utah commit the legislatures of those states to ratification, and the democratic legislatures of New York and New Jersey can be trusted to ratify the amendment. This would bring the rati- fications up to 2S, and only Il more states need act affirmatively to make the amendment effective. Surely this num- her will be secured next winter.
 The democratic landslide has given the amendment a great boost, and it's adop- ton by the states Is regarded as well as- sured

Wilcox on New Industries

E. T. Wilcox, assistant general freight agent for the Frisco system, was in Birmingham yesterday.
 "rhe Birmingham district seems to be showing up fine" said MT. Will COX. "Only the other day a new plant of the Birmingham Rail and Locomo- tive works was completed In North Bir- mingham. Today the warehouse of the Birmingham Grain company costing several thousands of dollars was com pleted. There was also completed yes- terday the mammoth grain elevator of Sid Norwood on the Belt railroad. The Texas oil company, which recently en- tered this district will also open up in day or so. With all these new plants and industries coming here and beginning work on our railroad we feel decidedly good. The traffic between this district and the west this year has been phenomenal and we look for continuance. I feel very san- guine"
 MT. Wilcox will be here today and will probably return to his home in Memphis tomorrow.

Iron Market Conditions

Matthew Addy & Co.'S pig iron report, just issued, says:
 "The most satisfactory thing about the market is the increasing volume of busi- ness being done by consumers. From all reports 1t seems that a great deal more pig iron is being melted today than at any other time during the year.
 "As for immediate current events there has been fair buying this week, some lit- tie tonnage for this year, but most of 1t for delivery next year. Prices are not higher, but they are firmer. No ques- tion but that there is more hopeful feeling concerning the future.
 "One of the features of the situation is the misleading character of the statis- tics. These give the quantity of iron on furnace yards, but from the nature of the case 1t is impossible to even guess at what the iron meters have in stock. It is not practicable to run foundry without supply of iron ahead. Usually safe and cautious foundryman will keep from 30 to 90 days supply in stock. Some-the exceptions-feel safer with six months supply ahead. But just now there are exceedingly thin stocks in consum- CTS yards; in fact, the furnaces are themselves carrying the country's avail able surplus and. concentrated in a few places, it looks very large. But were it scattered in 1000 foundry yards here and there it would not be appreciable. So the statistics look as if they were alto gether on the wrong side, but this, while actually the case, Is not really as serious as might appear without a proper ex- planation."

 TALK NOT OF AGE

Alfred Austin in The Independent Talk not of age; the waning years
 Leave one more wise as they depart, And with them mingle smiles and tears, If one. but young remains at heart. The seasons come, the seasons go,
 But with revolving days return, Till winters evanescent snow
 Melts in the laughing, leaping burn. And when the cuckoo calls again,
 The sap of April floods ones veins; And as he, flies from glen fo glen,
 Rejoicing in springs sunlit rains I feel as young as even he, M
 Seeking him near, afar, above, Echoing his name. in playful glee
 Of faithless undomestic love- Nor when deep summer silence rests
 On windless. thicket, sheltered lawn, From thoughtful hearts and pious breasts Is Natures sympathy withdrawn. The faithful cushat faintly heard,
 Repeats the simple note of home, Teaching the lesson, wisest bird,
 How blest are those not prone to roam.
