Milking Fog and smoke

II don't understand this fog and smoke
said man last night who formerly lived
along the coast. 81 thought fog vas Z l.
ways confined to the lowlands and cities
which were situated along or close TO a
body OF water.
''rhe mixture of fog and smoke which
has hung over the downtown section of
the city one or two nights this week is
far from being a source of pleasure. /
am told, however, by older residents, that
mingham and that they occur but few
nights in the Year
Il lived in Mobile for three years and
early morning fogs there were almost a
daily occurrence. People there hardly
ever notice them. They are real fogs,
though, and do not burn the eyes and
half choke one like the atmosphere a
night or two ago did here. ! am told
that the fog really was insignificant, but
that it was enough to overspread the city
and serve as a blanket by which rhe
smoke was kept close to the ground and
the effect from the combination was the
half stranglng atmosphere which we ex-
perienced Birmingham's furnaces and
mills and factories make so much smoke
that when it cannot rise into the air it
makes very bad atmosphere. Indeed /
am glad that it occurs but very times in
the year"

eral aid and federal supervision. They
propose to send committees to Wash
ington consisting of representative
men to ask that the unused federal
forts in the southwest be turned into
tuberculosis sanitoria under federal
supervision and federal aid.
The 10 states in the southwest are
acting wisely and humanely. They set
up no quarantine lines against the I'M
fortunate patients from other states.
They simply ask that this interstate
movement be conducted by the gem
eral government in a humane and.
scientific manner-a manner that can
be made to bring the best possible re-
suits to the greatest possible number
1t is impossible to see how any just
and kind hearted citizen can reason
ably object to the proposition put for
ward by the 10 southwestern states
who certainly have right to protect
their own people, especially when they
suggest a plan that is compassionate
and helpful.

We Wear Too Much Clothing

Some progress has been made in
inducing men to wear lighter under
wear. Men and women have become
convinced-particularly men-that the
heavy wooden underwear of 20 years
ago was not needed-that it did in
fact lead to discomfort and illness. 1t
really shortened life. Sartorial devel-
opment had been overdone, and today
both men and women are wearing less
clothing than formerly.
The scientists are demanding even
greater changes. They say that it
would be considered unreasonable to
wear a mask on the face and gloves
on the hands all day long, and yet the
skin Of the rest of the body needs as
much relief as the face and hands do.
These scientists say we need more
skin baths-periods in which the en-
tire body is in a complete state of ma
ture. Some of them say that long
walks in the open air clad as Adam
was are needful.
To tell the whole truth no one in
these days of hygiene and civilization
lives as he should. He would live
longer if he wore sandals, and less
clothes, and ate less, and did not hug
the radiators and CRATES so closely
1t is the bare-footed man, other things
being equal, who lives the longest
But men will not readily change theil
habits, nor women either, and it is
only through long periods of educa.
ton that hygeinic gains are accom-
plished. The present moderation in the
use of underwear is the result OF
years of teaching and argument anc
even entreaty. Man is stubborn anc
full of fads, and rational dress viii
come, if at all, by steps and evolution
long drawn out.

assembled for the recent historical eele-
bration of Yorktown, were telling anec-

David Chew said with a sigh:
I'VE have no longer in Philadelphia
such picturesque characters as Richard
Vaux was. Do you remember him, with
his long, white hair, striding down
Chestnut street? He wore no overcoat

Richard Vaux was very handsome in
his youth, and when secretary to the
American minister to England he had the
honor of dancing with Queen Victoria at
a court ball at buckingham palace. He
was the only American who ever had this
honor. The queen singled him out for her
partner in the cotillon on account of his
good looks and his grace.
When Richard yaux returned to his

WORRYING ABOUT BRYAN

From the New York World.
Those who are worrying about Will
liam j. Bryan and the things that he
is going to do to the new democratic
administration should remember this:
Most of the troubles that are pre-
dicted for political party that keeps
faith with the people never happen.
Not being in the confidence of Mr..
Bryan, The World cannot speak for
him. but it assumes that his attitude
will be like that of other democrats
and the people generally. If the men
who take office next March do as
they have promised, he will applaud
promised, he viii attack them. So
will The World and so will the people.
Those who believe that Mr.. Bryan
is ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS should
bear in mind the additional fact that
neither he nor anybody else can seri-
ously cmbarrass an administration that
is honest and courageous Mr.. Bryan
has many devoted friends and not IL
few persistent enemies. While they
cannot agree as TO him, they are now
acting tremendously under the leader
ship of Governor Wilson.
The best assurance that this unity
will continue is found in the record
and character of the President-elect.
He is a promised keeper and he never
yet has had a boss. Bryan men and
anti Bryan men can find an equal
amount of comfort in this If they will.

Annoying Ped,BIers

Il have heard many complaints made
this summer, especially by the women of
the household, that a great deal of trou-
BILE and annoyance is caused them by ne
gro boys going from house to house and
soliciting trade for fruit and vegetable
peddlers along the street. said mer-
chant yesterday.
Several of my neghbors have men
toned it lately and my wife was talking
to me about it just the other evening.
She said that only once this entire sum-
mer has she purchased a single thing from
any of these peddlers and that time it
was a half dozen oranges. But every day,
just as regularly as clock work. she states
these peddlers come along the street cry
ing their wares, their boys so to every
house, and although they know where
they never make sale, yet the door bell
rings and some one has to answer it
merely to tell negro boy that she does
not want anything. She said she could
not ignore the bell ringing for ii might
be someone else. She has repeatedly told
the boys that she never wants any or
their goods, yet they continue to call ner
to the door three or four times a day
This, of course, is bound to become a
nuisance and there should be some way
to put stop to it. The peddlers trade
no doubt is legitimate enough, but he
should not bother persons whom he
knows by experience do not want TO buy
from him. If he can get regular GUS
toners and hold them itAis all right but
this constant soliciting of trade and yell
ing his wares in voice that can be heard
two blocks is a nuisance

Filipino independence

When the democrats are in full pow
er after March they cannot consist
emily ignore the promises of three ma
tional democratic platforms concern
ing the Philippines. All democrats
believe that we should not hold mil
lions of men and women in subsection
against their will, and least Of all
should we hold them to be exploited
by greedy American trusts These mil
lions in the Philippines are largely
Malays without American sentiment
or tradition.
Judge James II. Blount has recent
ly published book on the Philippines
in which he advocates that the Fill
pinos be given home rule by 1921, and
that the islands be then protected by
naturalization treaties negotiated by
the United States, very much as
Switzerland and Belgium have been.
Mr.. Blount was first an officer of the
United States volunteers in the Phil
ippines, and later he was a United
States Judge in those islands. Scarce
" any one has studied the Philippine
situation closer than he has.
No doubt the policy he advocates is
wisest and best. The democratic party
is thoroughly committed to it, and
action upon it will be expected when
the democrats control all branches of
the government.
1t is un-American to rule remote
and alien people against their will,
even to please American grafters, and
the democratic party should in good
season take steps to assure the Fill
pinos of their opportunities to govern
themselves protected against japanese
and German bogies. Judge Blount's
excellent volume explains the entire
situation in clear, just and logica
manner.

"The situation could be easily remedied.
The morning train from Birmingham at

What we are anxious for is to have this
train run through to Roanoke. That would
give us excellent service all along the
