An Attractive Magazine

The March number of The World Today is particularly attractive. It is the best number which the publishers of that peri odical have issued in several months, and The World Today is never dull. Among the more important articles is that on Home Rule-England's Great Crisis with the views of great authorities. in- cluding Premier Asquith. David lloyd George. John Redmond. Cardinal Farley and Sir Edward Grey; "Fhe Mysterious Octopus" by Charles Edward Russell inside" story of the lumber "trust;'' and ''The Great Unrest" by Marie Corelli-a frank discussion" of the unrest of the day and what it means now and tomor- row.
 Among the articles under the caption, "The Month in Review" is one on "Un- derwood of Birmingham. It is just and complimentary to the distinguished Ala bamian. There are several pleasant lit tie essays worth while. one of the best of which is on the "charm of Manner" Al though it may seem somewhat trite it is worth reproducing, and here it is
 Charm of manner is the rarest and finest thing in the world.
 ''1'o have charm of manner you do not have to be rich, highly educated, or hand some All you have to do is to be sympa- thetic, sensible, honest, gracious, consid- crate, and reasonably ambitious.
 "Once in a department store I wished to buy a cake of soap. I asked for a brand that I happened to remember, at 15 cents a cake The saleswoman wrapped up the cake of soap and handed 1t to me, and as she did so said, Kere is an- other kind that we sell two cakes for a quarter-you see it is little larger cake, and, while I'm not certain, I believe you will like it better-and I am sure that you want the best
 Give me four cakes of that last said, and slapped down a half dollar.
 "I really wanted only one cake of soap, because I had forgotten to put a cake in my valse, and I would be back home in two days anyway, but that girls charm of manner caught me, and I took her ad- vice. She was so gracious so kindly, and So interested in pleasing me, and worked in such a delicate little compliment that. in some way, I felt as though she had taken her scissors and shipped off big red rose, the dew still on it, and handed it to me.
 Not all salespeople have charm of man. ner-this charm that is born of concentra- tion. intelligence and consideration
 ITO have charm of manner you must have both respect for yourself and for the other person. Had the girl been bold or fresh 1t would have dissipated her charm. She was simply natural, earnest. easy, smiling, kindly

Nnmbr of Bibles Issued

It is said that many graduates of Amer ican universities are unfamiliar with the Bible. A few years ago members of the senior class of one of the oldest 1nstl- tutlons of learning In New England were catechised on the Scriptures, and ma jority of them knew little or nothing of the contents of the book of books. The narratives that every well reared child is supposed to know almost by heart were entirely unknown to the young men who were soon to receive diplomas. Phrases in the King James, version that have become a part of our English speech might have been taken from some unknown author so far as these non Bible reading college students knew.
 But such ignorance as has been revealed in some student bodies in recent years must not be taken as characteristic of modern culture in the English speaking world generally. The American Bible so- ciety issued more Bibles last year than it did 10 years ago. I have not seen the exact statistics on the work of the so- cietv in 1911, but the issues of the Bible house in New York during the year ending March 31, 1910, totaled 9S4.S2o-A3i 10 Bibles, 291, ,163 Testaments and Testaments and Psalms, 47s,44S portions and 979 in various raised characters for the blind. The report goes on to show that in addi- ton to these issues in the English lan- guage, the Scriptures were published in 70 languages other than English.
 The number of young men and young women enrolled in Bible classes icreases every year, and there Is unquestionably more study about the Bible now than ever before But while 1t is true that Bible classes have multiplied, and while the number of Bibles distributed through out the world increases steadily the younger. generation does not seem to be so saturated with Scripture as literature as were the men and women of former generations. It used to be the habit of men of education or literary taste to read the Bible through every year regardless of whether or not they were connected with a church. No man was considered scno,arly unless he could quote readily and aptly from the Bible. Shakespeare and Milton. To the devout Christian both the Old and New Testaments will always be loved and read because they are in- spired from on high, and 1t will be pity indeed if those college men who happen to be outside of church religion fail to take an interest in sacred writ.

Suffrage and Femininity

The equal suffrage movement, for merly called woman suffrage. gains strength. In this country women are on equal terms of suffrage with men at all elections in these states: Wyom- ing since 1869. Colorado since 1893, Utah since 1896. Idaho since 1896, Washing ton since 1910. and California since the first of the present year. In Kansas woman possesses school suffrage and has done so for many years In that state and in Oregon, Nevada and Wis Ieonsin the respective legislatures have adopted woman suffrage amendments to be submitted later to popular vote for ratification. Women have the school suffrage in 30 states, including three south of the Mason and Dixon line Delaware Florida and Mississippi. It is safe to predict that within the next 10 years 50 per cent of the states, if not more. will have full woman suf- frage. l used to think that the sue- fragist movement was like a good many 'isms" or crazes that had stirred up the country and then subsided, such as greenbackism, free silver and state wide prohibition. but enough states have already adopted woman suffrage

Birmingham's Inadequate Police Force

Birmingham's police force is entirely
 too small One hundred and eight men,
 even if every one of them was model
 of vigilance, are not enough to police
 a city of 150,000 population, coverin g L50 square miles. Soon after Greater
 Birmingham was created our police de-
 partment numbered considerably over
 200. Now. out of a total of something
 like 150 including the chief, captains, scrgeants, etc, there are hardly 100 men available for patrol duty.
 Taxpayers and other citizens believe in economical administration in munic- ipal affairs, but there is such a thing as overdoing economy. Burglaries and hQld-ups were never so numerous as they have been in the past two weeks. Residence sections have little or no protection. This sate of things must not continue. The city commission had better retrench in almost any other direction than in curtalment of the police. Nothing short of police force l of 200 at this time would be adequate.
