But here Mrs. Griffen came in with
some pieces of oriental embroidery,
which Helen was forced to look at and
admire, while straining every nerve to
catch the conversation from within.
Then the bellboy came up with the
ice water. Evidently Mr.. Griffen heard
the clinking ice, for he called out:
Got some ice water there, mother?

As Mrs Griffen took the pitcher in.
he added heartily: You and Mrs

b|G BOND SALE ID SOUTHERN BANKERS Atlanta Company Buys $3,000,000 of Southern
 Bell Bonds

Atlanta, September 2s.-(Special. .)--An- nouncement is made here today by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company of the sale of $3Oo0,000 of per cent, 30 year bonds to the Robinson Humphrey Wardlaw company of this city.
 This is probably the largest sale of corporation bonds ever made in the south to southern banking firm, and Is splendid tribute to the financial respons- bility and worth of this growing bank ing company Up to this time such bond issues have been handled exclusively in the east, but the large clientele of this company throughout the south has made 1t possible for this gigantic purchase to be made by this southern concern. It is the intention of the Robinson-Hu Humphrey Wardlaw company to market these bonds fin the south where there lis a growing tendency to buy high class bonds for in- vestment purposes. The fact that these bonds are listed on the New York stock exchange, their current value is quoted daily and for which there Is always an immediate sale makes them a most at tractive proposition for souther investors. The host of clients of this company who have heard of this announcement. with pleasure. have showered it with congratu- Iations for engineering financial deal fin the south and for the south which up to this time had only been attempted by eastern bankers. The sale to the south is looked upon as a most healthy indication as the financial condition of this sec tion which was never better.

TOASK COMMISSION FOR LIBRARY WORK Dr. Parker Suggests Plan for Better Results NEEDS ENTHUSIASM Thinks Board of Education With It's Present Heavy Duties Should
 Not Be Expected to Look
 After Libraries
ENTHUSIASM

petition will be presented to the com missjoners during the next few days, asking that body to appoint a commits sion to take over the libraries Of Bur mingham and convert them into one fine system. The proposition originated with pr Thomas D. Parke of this city He said yesterday that he was of the opin- ion that the libraries of Birmingham, or which there are several, should be placed in charge of public-spirited set of men without pay to create interest in the sys- tenn and work the plan for all it is worth. Dr. Parke will present the commission, so it is understood, the suggestion that a commission of high-minded men, such as are in charge of the parks, should se placed in charge of the libraries.
 pr. Parke said yesterday that the sys- tenn should have new life injected into it. There should be a campaign started for more books and better books, while the general situation should be worked into a fine system that would get the maximum of results.
 q think the board of education now in charge of the library properties has plenty of work to do in handling tae complex school system of Birmingham said Dr. ParlSe. '"rhere should be com mission appointed to relieve the board of education of the libraries That com mission could get enthusiasm worked u2 and there would be an awakening here on that great question: l suggest that the commission be appointed.
 However, if the members of the board of education have any better plan to suggest, one that will get better results, l will gladly take off my coat and work for that. As the situation now is there should be new interest created in the matter of libraries here, and to that end the city commissioners should appoint, in my opinion competent set of men to take over the work and give it their time and attention free of all cost. At any rate, the system as it is now should be given an impetus and there should be a wonderful growth in that work rather than the stagnatlon that is now apparent l hope the commissioners will see fit to do something as this is an important question and great movement in which many hundreds of our citizens are deeply interested
 The commissioners yesterday when told Of the plan of Dr. Parke said it had not been formally presented and until t was no statement would be made. Judge Lane said he was for anything that would assist Birmingham in any way whatever, but that the board of education had per- formed splendid work in the past in connection with the library scheme
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-29

And on the seventh day God ended the work which he made; and he rested on the seventh day from all His work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctifed it."
 'Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work.
 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is. and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it."
 These passages of holy writ unques- tionably reveal the divine plan regarding the days that man shall labor. Like all the precepts inscribed on the two tablets of stone. it is not only morally right, but 1t is intensely practical. The dictum Of the Savior that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" brings out the philanthropic design of the day, as providing an antidote to the dele terious effects of constant toll upon the body and soul
 But apart from it's religious aspect, the resting of one day in seven has prac- tical and material value. No man can do his best work who tolls every day or longer periods than laid down in the d- vine law.
 While corporation may not have d soul, yet the great Steel corporation has recognized this for some years past. and no man of the many thousands in us employ is allowed to work more than six days, unless it is absolutely necessary. The big railroad companies have laid down a similar rule. It is not contended that this was done from any other motive than that the best results were obtained from workmen who rested one day in seven. This is no theory with the corpor- ations, but conclusion arrived at after real and practical tests.
 Even the inanimate things give the best result if given periods of rest. Every engineer knows that engines and ma chimes that are shut down at stated periods will give far better results than the machine that runs increasingly. The hours that railroad men are to work has | been the subject of legislaton-in fact, it has been proven without a shodow of a doubt that the plan laid down in the Fourth commandment is right religiously, morally, materially and scientifically. /, Among the many employees of the city of Birmingham, none are more essential than the fire department, and it can be l truthfully said none are more efficient. The writer has no intention to disparage
 or make comparisons with any other de-
 partment, but deals with the fire depart ment alone.
 | The calling is a haxsrcous one; it calls

"Six Days Shalt Thou Labor"
 Plea For the Fire Department
fly CHARLES II. MANDY

for men of nerve and action; the hours are long and tedious, longer possibly than any other vocation; the duties many and responsible. Each fireman in the employ of the city is required to stay on duty "A
 hours each day for 10 days, then he is allowed one day off. Every minute of the 240 hours he must be on hand ready to respond to any and all fire calls. Il may be true that he has long periods of leisure. but he is chained to one spot, as it were, and night and day is liable to be called on to answer the fire bell and to risk life and limb if necessary to pro tect the property of the citizens from de- struction by confagrations or to save life even at the hazard of his own.
 Many of the fire fighters of the city have a home and loved ones, but duty compells them to be absent from that home for periods of ten days. Then one
 brief day with wife and babes and back to duty for another 10 days. This is cer- tanly hardship, and while their service any time, still they are entitled to the fullest consideration from the hands of the city authorities for their previous faithful service.
 The firemen have not a grievance they
 have not kick, but from the fact that almost every other city of the size of Birmingham and many of much less pres tige and importance have recognized the hardship of long periods of continual ser vice and have followed out the Biblical injunction and given the fireman one
 days freedom from duty out of every seven.
 It would seem that six days of "A hours continual service is enough for any man and only those who have experienced it can appreciate the irksomness of being confined on one particular spot day and
