PIERCE-ARROW LAMPS.

Almost every State that enacts u
new law for the guidance of motor car
users these days devotes a special
paragraph to rules for lamps. The
general requirement is that the rear
number shall be illuminated sufficiently
to be visible for a di stance of fifty feet
at night. With the lamp equipment OF
some cars tho ingenuity Of the owner
is rather thoroughly tested to find a
way tc make the ray of the rear lamp
shine on the number plate.

AUTO HELPS RAILROADS.

The enormous revenue derived by the
railroads from the automobile business
amounts to millions of dollars annually.
The shipping of automobiles is one of
the most desirable classes OF freight
traffic and one which is constantly
growing. A good example of what this
business means to the railroads is
shown by the traffic figures of
the United States Motor Company.
The railroad revenue from a single

Sunday Baseball Law

The legislature had no more deli cate, not to say revolutionary, sub ject before it than the bill to permit the playing of Sunday baseball in Mobile. The vote in the senate was 12 to II, and the bill is now in the hands of the governor.
 This is a bill that runs counter to the customs and practices of cities dominated by descendants of the early English settlers. In Mobile, however, there are large numbers of people who do not try to trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower and these people desire Sunday baseball.
 The subject really suggests the question whether a part of the day of rest should not afford amusement to the toilers of this world-to the disciples of Martha wholly regardless of the disciples of Mary, who presum- ably toll not on any day. It is not, however, wise at this time to raise the question outside of Mobile, for no other town in this state is asking for additional amusements on Sun day. But when they do the man who plays golf or who motors for amuse- ment's sake on Sunday will not be able to oppose Sunday baseball with out exposing himself to the charge of inconsistency and even of selfish ness.

Four Parties in Congress

The republicans are predicting trouble and much tugging and pull ing apart in Congress when it meets next month, because each party will be split into two factions. The re- publicans in both House and Senate consist of two determined factions, and the insurgents will be aggres- sive and warlike whenever oppor- tunity presents.
 It is much too early to say that the democrats are split into factions also. There is little reason to believe Con gressman Fitzgerald will attempt to reorganize his band of Cannon dem ocrats. The most of his crowd were left at home and he will be very apt to join the majority and in that way keep up with the procession that is marching toward the White House.
 In the Senate a minority leader is to be chosen to take the place left vacant by the retirement of eX-Sen- ator Money. The new leader may be Senator Culberson, whose health is said to be~restored, and even if he is not willing to serve again as leader it is pretty certain that he and Gov ernor Stone and John Sharp Williams will name the new minority leader. He will be progressive.
 The republicans are mistaken when they anticipate any such divisions in the democratic ranks as exist among the republicans in both houses. The old guard is crippled to some extent, but it will fight back whenever the insurgents become aggressive, and their normal condition is aggressive ness. All in all the old guard is pretty sure to find small comfort in the sittings of the Sixty-second Con- gress.

BARRING OUT AN OLD FRIEND

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 A good many old boys-men who were
 boys 20, 30 or 40 years ago-will feel a
 sense of personal grievance at the an-
 tic have been barred from the juvenile
 departments of the New York and Boston
 public libraries.
 It illustrates what MT. Pickwick called
 the strange mutability of human af-
 fairs" Time was, and not so many years
 ago either, when Oliver Optic was held in some honor. He was recommended to boys, who in their heart of hearts would have much preferred to revel In the re- markable pranks of certain Jack Hark- away, the amazing adventures of Old
 Sleuth of the wonderful accomplishments
 of Cap. Collier.
 Possibly the real reason for the recom-
 mendation was tat Oliver Optic was
 deemed innocuous. If he didn't do any measurable good, at least he did not do any real harm, and he kept the boyish
 mind entertained. His books were em- ployed in much the same manner that a
 man who is trying to break off the to- bacco habit chews gum.
 But are there no juvenile books of the present day that reek with literary nic- otine? What about gaudy stories of boys
 who traverse the surface of the earth in automobiles or fly above it in airships,
 seeking and meeting marvellous adven- lures? Isn't a little chewing gum needed even now?
 If the opponents of Oliver Optic rest their case on his deficiency of literary style there is not much to be said ex- cept that the man or woman who tries to instill a true appreciation of literary style in a youngster 10 or 12 years old is in most cases undertaking an extreme ly large job.

Winters Farewell Effort

Just as Br'er Groundhog's six weeks were about to expire a cold wave that brought zero weather to Duluth was dispatched to Alabama and Georgia, carrying the mercury down in some places to 26 degrees. But the fruit men in Georgia report that no damage has been done to the peach crop, and Bay Minette says the strawberries are uninjured. The air was dry and wind kept off frost.
 This was no doubt winters garri- son finish, and hereafter, let us hope, spring will be permitted by the weather clerk to have it's own way. The dogwood trees are in blossom, and this certainly is sign of spring.
 Just at present the entire cotton belt needs moisture. In some sec tions no rain has fallen in two months, and in nearly every part of the cotton belt planting is delayed because of the lack of moisture. This deficiency may be made good any day, for the season S still young and promising.
 All agree that the fertilizer move rpent is unusually heavy and no doubt the south is getting ready to grow a deal of corn and cotton Already men are looking ahead to the cror outlook. The crops are, after all, the chief event of any year.

Cotton Mill Combinations

Twelve of the largest cotton mills in upper South Carolina have become one concern to be known as the Pelzer corporation. The new merger includes 500,000 spindles and 15,000 looms. The capitalization is $12,000,- 900, and Greenville, s. C., is to be the headquarters of the latest cotton mill merger in the south.
 Mergers among cotton mills in South Carolina seem to be popular, for the Pelzer merger is the third in three months. The Parker merger included ten mills capitalized at $10,- O00, ,000, and the Dillon merger was a million-dollar affair. The Pelzer merger is the largest accomplishment in the. merger line in the cotton belt thus far. Other mills are consider ing invitations to join the Pelzer merger.
 The object of these mergers is to create mill centers and to secure plans for financing them in a strong CT way. The consultations in South Carolina all proceed from stock holders and managers. The promo ter is unknown in them. These stock holders are confident that larger units of manufacture will appeal more strongly to banking interests if the management throughout be sound. In other words, the mills in South Carolina are seeking financial advantages by concentration rather than new selling arrangements. The desire for stronger financing is very natural, and it may lead to mergers in other southern states.

Interest In Musical Festival


 "A great deal of interest is felt in the that the prospects for big festival in May are very bright said a prominent citizen who loves good music
 The festival of last year was a finan- cial as well as an artistic success, and l believe the box office receipts will be even larger this year. Birmingham may not have a more strongly developed mu- sical element than other cities of it's size, but it Is fully abreast of any of them. The interest in musical art has been increasing rapidly throughout this country and in this respect Birmingham has unquestionably attracted attention.
 Tt would be a good thing if the musical festival committee could arrange to have this years festival while the National Good Roads convention is in session here May g to 26, inclusive The railroads will grant very low rates to Birmingham on account of the good roads gathering and the city will be crowded with visit ors, many of whom would be glad to at- tend the festival The Good Roads asso- ciation and the festival would not con- ffict as the former will hold it's prin- cipal sessions in the morning, thus leav- ing the delegates free to attend the after noon as well as the night concerts.
 Delegates to the Good Roads conven- ton will be accompanied by ladies and by having the festival in conjunction with the national meeting the visitors would find an attraction which would add no little to their enjoyment. while at the same time immense audiences at all the concerts would be assured'

THE DEATH Or COURTEsY

From the New York World.
 In letter published on this page a business woman asks young men to give up their seats to women in public con- veyances. The request is reasonable.
 The commoner forms of politeness rest upon basis of race necessity as old as civiliTation. They cannot be forgotten without public loss. Women are usually less able to fight their way to seats than men. They are less fit to stand in mov- ing cars. Their clothing is a heavy and constant handicap to the naturally weak CT sex. Our correspondent truly says that women do not go into bushes from choice, but from necessity They should be favored in every way possible by the stronger men.
 Without considering race needs, young man has the best of selfish reasons for in variably surrendering his seat. He can- rot for his own sake afford to contract the bad habit of remaining seated whiIe women stand. It is as easy to form habits of courtesy as of discourtesyl Men who have been 30 years consistently yielding their seats find it no hardship tc do so, even for the ten-thousandth timeI They would be uncomfortable doing otherwise, and they are better men foi not having in youth contracted lazieI ways. Young men are much prompter td rise in theatre car'' than in the subj way at rush hour. But gentlemanly cont duct is the same at all times of day.
 Yet without excusing this commoia carelessness, the blame is far heaviet upon the greedy capitalists than upoI the thoughtless young men of New York Payment of a fare morally entities a nnalI to seat In Paris or London the obli gation is enforced. It should be enforced here. Not the least of the offenses of thll dog in the manager policy of our transport tation barons is this destruction of cour|! tesy

mans guess but with in no mans foresight.
 Nor could the political effects in this country of a Mexican invasion be measured Some already think Mr. Taft is endeavoring to regain popularity in this way, and Mexican campaign just before or in 1912 might change the political situation beyond conjecture even.
 There is only one thing certain in all this mysterious military business, and it is this: When the President asks Congress to make an appropria- tion for his justly celebrated maneu- vers along the Mexican border he will have to explain why he selected that border for maneuver purposes in- stead of a district less distant and therefore less expensive. A gatling request for information will be poured into the President and the President and his Secretary of War may as well get ready to unload their secrets at once. The people as well as Congress desire to know why a good share of the army has been hurried to the Rio Grande, where it is men ace to the peace of two republics.

Growing Cities

Nearly a year has passed since the census was taken and most of the cities that made fine showings when the pop ulation figures were announced con tinue to stride forward said R. P. Wosmer of Chicago
 T was in Denver week before last and that city seems to have grown appreciably since I was there year ago. l stopped day in Kansas City and found it pushing right ahead. But the most phenomenal town in the az ricultural belt is Oklahoma City. One can stand on street corner and see it grow. It had census population of 64,000 and I believe if a count were made now the figures would be close to 90,000.
 Houston, Tex, is making a great record in general progress and I pre- dict that in 1920 it will have a popu- lation of 150,0oO I was there recently and I would say at a glance that it contained considerably over 100000, although the census bureau credited 1t with only 7S,SOO.
 Anyone can see that Birmingham has grown since last spring. I was here while the census was being taken and was glad to read later that the enumeration totaled 1S2,6S5. It would be a safe bet that Birmingham has a population of 16O,O ,O00 today

LYTTON,s ADoRING LADY

Princess VOn RacoW1tza.
 In the foreground of my memory stands Bulwer Lytton. What I now relate took place at the end of the 50s.
 Bulwer was already past his first youth; his fame was at it's zenith. He seemed to me antediluvian, with his long dyed curls and his old fashioned dress He dressed exactly as in the fashion of the '20s, with long coats reaching to the ankles, knee brooches and long colored waistcoats.
 Also. he appeared always with a young lady who adored him and who was fol- lowed by man servant carrying harp. She sat at his feet and appeared, as he did, in the costume of 1880. with long flow ing curls. To me. who hated all kinds of pose, the famous author seemed ridicu- lous.
 In society, however, people ran after him tremendously, and spoit him in ev- cry possible way. He read aloud from his own works and. in especially poetic pas sages. his Alice accompanied him with arpeggios on the harp.

DANDYISM IN 1772

From "Beau Brummell and His Times"
 Dandyism developed new phase of quiet richness during early Georgian times. and the court exqusites were stately figures in finely laced shirts, long skirted coats, and gold -clocked stockings The hats worn by the beaux were modi- fled reproductions of those in fashion at Versailles, and the art of wearing them was shown in the tilt; in fact, different angles in the tilt identified the wearer's status and locality.
 In 1872 dandyism became again para mount. A band of young bloods returned from an extended tour abroad, and while in Italy they had eontrived to get several new ideas about dress into their some what empty heads.
 Fired with an ever-growing sense of their own importance as arbiters of fash ion. they formed themselves into a group known as the Macaroni club. in contra distinction to the good old-fashioned Beef steak club of London.
 The Macaronies dressed their hair in enormous side curves, with hideous knocker-like twist at the back. With this exaggerated coiffure a tiny hat was worn, which it was correct for the wearer to raise with his tasseled cane.
 A soft white handkerchief was tied in huge bow under the Maraconis chin; his coat was short, and his tight knee brooches were made of striped or flow cred silk Thus garbed, with innumerable dangling seals, two watches at least, silk stockings, and diamond-buckled shoes, the dandy walked abroad eminently satis- that his appearance was greatly envied.
