COLLARS INFLUENCE HAIR

From the British Medical Journal.
 Wear loose collar and live long in the enjoyment of luxuriant and unfadins locks This is the prospect that Dr. Wal ter G. Walford holds out. Answering n correspondents inquiry as to the cause of his hair changing color, the doctor says;
 ''The probable cause is that the inquirer has not very long since enlarged his neck wear and thus improved the communica- ton between his heart and brain and the lymphatic circulation This is what happened to do when I had just reached 7o when, in addition to greatly improve,l health, my hair not only became darker. but grew so profusely where I had pre- viously been bald, as to become quite mo- ticeable.

Ambulance Service and the Survey

Regarding the recent furry caused by the Survey articles said prominent clergyman, while on the whole l think conditions as they actually exist, still there were few statements that are scarcely borne out by the facts.
 Regarding the ambulance service, for instance, the strctures were unduly se- we're. The writer stated that the hos pitals should have their own ambulances; that at present undertakers' wagons were doing duty. Now, I think that the ambu- lance service in Birmingham is at least as good as in any city of it's size. and the handsome auto ambulances that the un- dertakers operate surely are not wagons. lately inspected Lige Loy's ambulance
 with its 60 horse power motor and its beautiful upholstering and modern con- veriences, and it almost made me wish to be a patient to have the pleasure of ride in it. An earnest social worker of Birmingham, moreover, few days ago informed me that she had never found the service unsatisfactory, but rather the con trary In this respect she spoke of the great charity that does not get sufficient recognition of the Lige Loy establishment, which, during the past year, answered 45 calls that she made, and carried abso- lutely free of charge patients to and from the hospitals.
 'I think, therefore, that the ambulance service of Birmingham is on the whole very good, and that the ambulance ser vice of the I.ige Loy establishment should | adopt for motto, Ne Plus Ultra,' which l | freely translate, no better anywhere.

Rv William Drummond of Hawthornden. Sweet rose, whence is this hue Which doth all hues excel? Whence this most fragrant smell, And whence this form and gracng grace

 slew; Or hath the queen of love you dy'd Of new In that dear blood, which makes you look

 No, none of those. but cause more high you blest,

AboIishing Grade Crossings

Commissioner Weatherly, speaking at East Lake concerning dangerous grade crossings, presented practical suggestions. He prefers to consult the railroads and to take up the grade crossings in this city one at a time. He stood ready to concede that the combination of crossings in First ave- nue near Twenty eighth street should have precedence. At that place SC persons have been injured and 10 killed in the last 10 years. Such a deathtrap should indeed be dealt with at the outset.
 New Jersey is troubled by grade crossings also, and bill is pending in the legislature of that state to abolish 123 year at the expense of the railroads. In that state it is held that every business must make itself safe to the public. This we'll estab- lished principle fits Alabama as well as it does New Jersey.
 Commissioner Weatherly is on the right line. He proposes to induce the railroads to do their duty-to force them to do it if they will not cooper ate in an amicable manner. No bet ter plan than tn gan be devised, and no better leader in campaign against our dangerous grade crossings can be selected than Commissioner Weather ly himself.

Wireless Stations Around the World


 The navy department asks Congress to appropriate $1,000,000 to be used in establishing wireless stations span ming the globe. The station at Airing ton, Va, is to have a radius of action of 5000 miles, and it is proposed to establish stations of equal power in the canal zone, San Francisco, Hawaii, Guam, Luzon and Tutulla islands in the Lamvan group. These stations together with the use of some yes sels will give the navy department daily communication with every ship of the entire navy scattered over the oceans and seas of the world.
 The stations that the department desires to install will be of the most advanced type and they will constitute chain without rival in the world. They will make the navy one constant and active whole, and in times of war it would be difficult to place value on the chain of wireless stations. The extension of the wireless sys- tenn is well illustrated in the proposed official chain. It has knit the world together as nothing else could. The telegraph did no little in that direction and the wireless has completed the task,

We have now something like 250O inhabitants within the city limits. New railroad connections will help Athens very much. and the future of the town is, therefore, wonderfully bright"
 MT. Walker said that everyone in and around Athens was filled with enthusiasm over the prospect of Oscar Underwood $ nomination for the presidency.

Artistic Music

"The Aborn English grand opera, which gave a fine performance of II Travatore' Friday afternoon and of Madam Butter fly Friday night, attracted large audi ences on both occasions said music lover.
 "The Aborn principals are all capable artists, and the. chorus, although com paratively small, is effective. When Saw age gave Madam Butterfly here two or three seasons ago he brought larger company and much larger orchestra. In the Aborn company the brass choir is lacking (only a trumpeD, but one good thing to be said is that the wood-wind players were artists of the best class. A small orchestra will do very well for II Travatore,' but in modern works such as Madam Butterfly where the orches- tration is as elaborate, and as important as the action on the stage, an orchestra of symphonic size and quality is demand ed. The Aborns used an orchestra of about % pieces as compared with the Sav- age orchestra in Madam Butterfly of about 3i or 8 pieces. But as Aborn gives such a clean, honest performance at the atre prices little above the regular, no one should be disposed to find fault.
