IN HOTEL HOBBIES
A Good Business Year

Business Is now good in almost every section of the country" said Peter H. | Caswell of New York. Tn January it was generally felt that 1912 would be a poor year-a very unsatisfactory year-in the | business world. Chief among the causes assigned for the feeling of uncertainty
 was the political agitation. Lack of con- | fidence was quite marked, But within the past three or four weeks there has been a great change in the business situation
 There has been wonderful improvement within the past two weeks. Business is good pretty much everywhere. The rail- | roads are busy and are looking forward to an exceptionally busy summer.
 "In the south conditions are excellent. The low price of last years cotton crop hurt to some extent. But the south, as a whole, was never as prosperous as 1t is today. Every southern city Is booming. Richmond, Norfolk, Charlotte, Atlanta, Charleston, Nashville, Memphis and Bir- mingham are growing at a more rapid rate than ever. Birmingham leads in this recent forward movement, but when Ii comes to boom cities old Richmond, for long time rich but almost as censerva- nomenal strides. Atlanta, in it's palmiest days, perhaps never went forward faster than the Richmond of today. But as I have intimated, Birmingham is the. south ern leader"

Large Convention Hall Needed

Now that Birmingham is to have ample hotel accommodations the next thing of a public kind that should be done Is the building of a large audi torium or convention hall" said a mem Der of the Chamber of Commerce
 An adequate building can be erected I believe for $60.o0e or $70,000. It should be possible to acquire the site and put up the building for a total sum not exceeding s100,000.
 Would such venture pay from a dividend point of view? It would if the right sort of men were at the head of il. About 15 years ago some enter prising citizens built an auditorium with a seating capacity of about 5000. That building was not profitable until it was turned into a theatre--the Bijou But Birmingham IS years ago was a very small town compared with the present Birmingham.
 "An auditorium with a seating ca- pacity of 10000 costing all told s10o,- 600 would return Der cent or per cent a year on the investment, A de- sirable location could be found four or five blocks from the crowded part of the city where the ground would not be very expensive"

From the ,New York Herala

A TIER preaching the gospel of | "A harmony in architecture. decora-
 4 \ tion and interior furnishing in Europe for 8. dozen years Mons. Hec- tor Guimard of Paris, architect, design CT and vice president of the Societe des Artistes Decorateurs, is paying his first visit to America for the dual purpose of studying the ways of American arch itects and to discuss with them his ideas of designing. Mons. Guimard also hopes to interest American architects and decorators in the International Ex- position of Architecture and Modern Decoration. to be held fin Paris in 1915. q find New York wonderful city, with architectural effects both to be praised and to be criticised" said Mons. lGuimard to a Herald reporter in his apartments in the Holland House yos- terday. Mons. Guimard speaks no Eng l. fish and Mme. Guimard acted as in- Iterpreter.
 q came to see if it is possible for the lofty buildings you have here to be pleasing to the eye as well as useful in housing their many business tenants. find that 1t is possible out to my mind many of your examples of high build ings are disapp ointing, in that one har- monious idea in construction has not been followed by the architect.
 "The Woolworth building will be pleasing and harmonious, but some of the other high office buildings, notably the Singer building, emphasizes too much the idea of decoration as they ascend The lines of a lofty building, it seems to me. should be less pro- nounced and decorative the higher they go, and should finally blend or be lost in the sky. Tower like effects, after d succession of plain stories, seem in- congruous, and 1t evidently was intenu- ed that such structures should only be seen by persons approaching New York by water.
 American architects should exchange ideas. so that there may be some con- tinuity and harmony in the buildings which successively rise. Your archi- tects show more strength and under stand their business more thorougnay, I think, than those of Germany or Eng land. but my impression of New York is rather as a collection of buildings than as a city like berlin or London. in which more harmonious groupings prevail.
 Some architects with whom l nave talked here say they have littlelatitude; that they must build as the owner di- lrects. Why should America not nave distinctive architecturee There IS grand opportunity. Little Is gained by oopytng old methods and models. A distinctive type. thoroughly up to date' simple, with no hard lines. and yc, strong, could be evolved which would be recognized as American.
 Every European Socntry IS making this effort to express itself in Its own architectural way. Germany has made | a tremendous effort a.ong this line, and that has beep largely successful is anparent to one who visits Berlin. Italy lalso Is striving for a new, individual architecture, and France, mindful of the impress left by the Louis XIV and Louis Xv periods, is seeking new, distinct type. Mime.

Uncle Sam's Fiscal Affairs

The deficit in the federal treasury
 IS been cut down by heavy receipts
 March to 9,932, ,O00. Both customs
 d internal revenue are increasing.
 Some think that on June 30, the
 i'd of the fiscal year, Uncle Sam may be able to make ends meet and even to show a handsome balance on the right side of the ledger. June's re- ceipts of corporation taxes will cer- tainly be heavy. The bulk of that tax is received in the closing month of the fiscal year.
 No doubt a new Panama bond issue will be negotiated in June. There is enough money left from the last sale of Panama bonds to meet disburse- ments on account of the canal until June, and a new issue of bonds will be needed at the beginning of the new fiscal year.

will Attract Visitors

Many people come to Birmingham to spend the weeks end and to stay over Sunday, but many more will come after we have ample hotel accommodations, " said prominent citizen. "Birmingilarn is attractive in a general way to Alabama. But the new hotels will make it far more attractive to those who not only appreci- ate the best of everything, but are willing to pay for it. This city is we'll boosted. But in spite of all the things that are commended there have been great many knocks about our inadequate hotel facili- ties. This will not be so in the future. Tn year or so from now Birmingham will enjoy the reputation of being one of the best hotel towns in the United States

vailed and always will when put to the test The crucial moment has arrived. A duty devolves upon the citizens of Lewisburg, not only to their own local ity, but to the rest of this great coun- ty and the state at large. Citizens of Lewisburg, who believe in law and or der, must assist the coroner's jury in it's investigation. Tell the jury what you know about the crimes that have brought to your sturdy community such unenviable notoriety. Do your duty to your God, your country and yourselves by throwing every ray of light that may assist the jury in it's difficult task of fathoming the mur- der mysteries, and you will render a better service to your community and state than if you had shouldered a rifle or manned a gun in her defence.
 The coroners jury is composed of busy men; they are making a personal sacrifice to serve on this investiga- ton; they have no interest in this matter but to do their whole duty. They have one aim in view, and that is to end the reign of lawlessness in and around the vicinity of Lewisburg that has brought the blush of shame to the cheek of every worthy citizen.
 Men of Lewisburg, you can do much to bring your community from dark ness to light. It is squarely up to you.

PIE AT THE SODA FOUNTAIN
Quick Lunch Places Beginning to Feel
 Drug Store Competition
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
 l The introduction of pie at a soda
 fountain in Nassau street. for noon
 luncheon, has brought an angry pro-
 test from the quick lunch places In the lneigh borhood. The encroachment of the
 drug store on the domain of the restau-
 rant has been gradual, but insidieus Departing from strictly soda menu
 the one time apothecary first served
 crackers with ice cream. Then he added
 chicken sandwiches, cocoa and wafers angel food sundae and coffee, hot in
 cups.
 | Now comes the progressive druggist whose business in prescriptions Is noth- ing, and whose shop is full of novelties and mixed drinks. He offers hot bouil-
 lon and oyster patty, beef tongue sand wiches, cheese and crackers, and cake, and today, pie.
 The prices are attractive to office
 workers who have their dinner at might. A light luncheon is all they want and food and drink can be had at the drug store for 10 cents, A first class pharmacist, graduate of leading school, sober and industrious, was asked by druggist to whom he applied for a place, 'can you attend to the fountain. mix syrups and serve lunch?" Without this ability the young phar- macist must depend upon the old fash toned apothecary for a place.
 "They come here" satd clerk in one downtown drug lunch, from the office buildings on Broadway, for distance of 10 blocks. It is the time saved that attracts many, and then there are no tips at a soda fountain lunch. Some peo- plef are on a diet and take only butter milk. There are business men who rush in here at noon, eat several sandwiches and soda water, making check of 50 cents or more."
 An East Side soda counter serves nothing but crullers. They are made by the proprletor's wife, w.o heard a GUS toner ask for doughnuts one day. Peo- pie seem to like cup of hot coffee and crullers better than the syrups, but the fountain does good business in the summer time,

The Democratic Situation

"Every now and then l hear some. one making the prediction that William Jennings Bryan will capture the demo- cratic convention and oe nominated for President" said an old party man.
 q have always voted regular In 1896 I was quite an ardent Bryan man. But if MT. Bryan should be the nomi- nee this year I will stay away from the tpolls and there would be thousands of democrats in this state who would do likewise l really believe that the nom ina lon of MT. Bryan would lose Ala bama- Georgia and several other south ern states to the republicans.
 'But I have no idea that the demo- crats will allow MT. Bryan to run the convention Taft is going to be the re- publican nominee and MT. Underwood should be the democratic standard bear CT. If Underwood heads the ticket he will beat Taft. l doubt very much whether any other democrat could lead us to victory. Bryan's nomination would certainly spell democratic disas- ter"

Alahama's Educational Association

Three thousand delegates are ex- pected from the 67 counties of the state when the Alabama Educational association meets tomorrow. Every possible preparation is being made to add to the comfort and accommodation of the visiting teachers.
 The programme of the association is one that will promote the public schools of the state, for the associa- tion has small relation to the schools that are not open to the people. It is the public school that the association proposes to study and to make plans for.
 About 90 per cent of the teachers of the country are women, and it must be conceded that woman understands child better, as rule, than a man does. Her rule over the child is apt to be more sympathetic, and this sym  pathy may sometimes trench on dis cipline. The country is, however, sat isfied with it's women teachers. It wants more rather than less, and in some localities it is difficult to secure enough of them.
 Birmingham welcomes the army of teachers, both men and women, and the hope is entertained that good weather and all the delights of the spring season will come to the aid of the home folks in their effort to please and to entertain the delegations from the various counties of the state.

Primary Voting Educational

When conventions, manipulated by politicians, selected nominees the ave- age man took small interest in results in which he had no voice. This was not the case last Monday. The thous- ands who went to the polls in this county, and the tens of thousands who voted throughout the state knew exactly why they did it. They had studied every part of the widely pub lished ticket, and the marking of the long ballots, generally without any 'conveniences for that purpose, was in-
 .ligently carried out. The voter kept
 his task until his duty to the coun- district, state and nation had been gerformed.
 To say that such a task is not edu- ltional is clearly erroneous. Nothing pcs further toward the making of a ood citizen. And the regret is that 0Q,000 white men are disfranchised by a cumulative poll tax that is with out limit. To vote now one must pay all taxes assessed against him from 1901 down to the present time, or about $17. A cumulative poll tax is wholly unnecessary and wholly un- wise. All should be required to pay
 poll tax, but it need not be cumula-
 6.
 The time will surely come when thu a solute unwisdom of disfranchisine 0,000 young white men will be deep
 felt, and demand will arise for a
 ange in the constitution.

PROFITABLE DREssMAKING
the New York American.

From the New York American,
 The profit from a dressmaking estab- lishment that caters to the Four Hun dred" of New York society, was made known yesterday by the accounting of the executors of Mrs. Josefa N. Os- born's estate.
 Mrs. Osborn. having divorced her hus- band. opened a modlstc shop and invited her society friends to patronize her. They did. with such good results that her accumulations yielded an income of practically s5o.000 year to her IT, year-oid daughter, Audrey N. Osborn, of No, SIS Madison avenue The accounting of the Farmers Trust company and Willard F. Tompkins, ex- ecutors. shows that Miss Osborn's gen. eral guardian. Frederick Edey. received s9S,0sl for his ward from December ' 1909, to October 27, 1911. The amount he spent Is not recorded.
 Before her marriage Mrs Osborn was Miss Josefa Nelson. She was the grand daughter of Schuyler Nelson and Col James Nelson, the bosom friend of George Washington. Sh. married Robert divorced him in a few years. Then she started as dressmaker 70 the fashion able setS
 Mrs. Osborn was reported engaged to Ernest Lawford. an. English actor, in 1908, when she died. She 5equeathed him the income for life from a s75.o0o trust fund. After his death the principal will be added to Miss osborn's estate.

Tresspasses on Railroads

"The extent of the evil of trespass- ing on railroad property in violation of the law is indicated in figures made pubic recently by thes Pennsylvania railroad. showing the number Of ar rests made on its lines in the year end- ing December 31. 191I." said 6 local statistician. More than $500 arrests were made for trsspassing. while $500 were the result of illegal train riding,
 "The dangers of srespassins are shown by the railroad in figures which brought out the fact that on the Penn sylvania railroad system alone s52s peo- pie have been killed and s2s5 injured since 1900. These injuries and fatalities occurred while the people were on rail road property, in wilful violation of the law. Statistics show that while 45 per cent of trespassers on that line were trsmps, the remaining 55 per cent be- ing self supporting a.ld in many csses well to ao people"

IN THE AGE OF SCIENCE

From the Chicago Record-Hefald

 "Is your little boy sick of anything?' came the childs earnest question,
 NO, indeed, sonny. Why?'
 "'Cause I've had my tonsils taken out an my adenoids removed an my appen- dix cut out an I've been vaccinated an serumized for typhoid an spinal menin- gitis, an I've had anti-toxin injected an do hope l won't have to have anything done to me this year, sos for little while l can have bit O fun!'
