A Southern Musicians Fame

81 am glad to see that John Powell.
born and reared in Richmond, Va, has
achieved distinction not only as a piano
virtuoso, but as a composer" said d. L..
Lamarie of st. Louis
Il have never met Mr. Powell, but be-
ing interested in high class music I have
read about him. with great pleasure Ac-
cording to standard books of reference
he-is only 81 years of age. 1t seems that
| he was a musical prodigy and by the
time he was Il wrote in sonata form
music that would have done credit to a
srown-up composer. He studied music in
| his teens under a local instructor but
after spending year or two at the Uni
versity of Virginia, he went abroad to
continue his musical studies. He has
given recitals in the great capitals of Eu-
rope, and has met with marked success
as artist; but he hopes to obtain high
rank as a composer, and in the past two
or three years has appeared seldom in
public as a performer.
'zlmbalist, the great Russian violinist
placed on one of his programmes in New
York not long ago a brilliant concerto
by John Powell. The critics re-
ferred to it as a fine specimen of modern
technical writing, but overcolored; at
least that is the gist of what most of
them said about it. But few days ago
David and Clara Mannes-violin and
piano-gave premiere rendition of a
sonata by Powell. and it was highly
praised by leading critics. The programme
was extremely classical, but the Powell
Virginiaesque, was the title of it
made a big hit
Before Powell is 40 he will doubtless
have reached as high a position as any
great composer of recent years. The
south should certainly be proud of John
Powell"

As a Matter of Course

The concession by Great Britain of
the right of the United States to for
tify the canal seems a trifle superflu-
Gus. This nation in the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty is expressly charged to
maintain the neutrality of the canal
in times Of war. How, might one ask,
is this to be done without the proper
fortifications?
To question the right of the United
States to fortify the canal is absurd.
After the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars in building the
canal it is unthinkable that this ma
ton should take no precautions to
protect that investment.
The truth of the matter is that the
nations of Europe are trying to use
the United States as cats paw with
which to pull the chestnuts out of the
fire. The powers evidently want the
United States to do all the work and
permit them to reap all the benefits.
And mixed in with this is more
than a little tinge of jealousy that
such an accomplishment should have
been achieved by the youngest of the
great nations of the world.

THE AUTOMOBILE BACK

of general interest. A great many people,
in cranking their cars, strain their back
or drop a, STITCH" and il this is once

for any length of time, are tired in the
back when they get out. II this is kept
up, the pain or weakness increases until
many times the person is laid up with
what is called lumbago or rheumatism.
Both of these conditions are commonly due
to the wrong way of using the muscles.
of the back. In cranking, keep the back
straight, like "the oarsman's back" Bend
from the hips, swapping the crank over
by Strengthening at knee and hip, but do
not bend at the middle, or the waistine
In sitting In the car keep the back
straight also. Get the hips well back
against the back of the seat and IL the

at the hollow of the back to prevent this
Do not slouch in the seat and do not sit

WHAT TO DO AT A FIRE

From boy Scouts of America
A fire can usually be put out very
easily when it starts, and here is an
occasion when scout can show his
presence of mind and cooness. At first
few. buckets of water or blankets or
woolen clothing thrown over a fire will
smother it. Sand. ashes or dirt. or even
flour, will have the same effect.
If scout discovers a building to- be
on fire. he should sound the alarm of
the fire department at once. If possible,
he should send someone else, as the scout
probably will know better what to do
before the fire engine arrives An doors
should be kept closed as to prevent
draughts. If you enter the burning build
ing, close the window or door after you,
If possible, and leave some responsible
person to guard it so it will not be opened
and cause a draught In searching for
people. go to the top floor and walk down,
examining each room as carefully as pos
sible. If necessary to get air while maxi
ing the search, close the door of the room,
open a window and stick the head out till
few breaths can be obtained. After
ward close the window to prevent
draught. IL doors are found locked and
you suspect people are asleep inside,
knock and pound on the doors to arouse
them If this produces no results, you
will have to try to break down the door,
While searching through burning build
ing it will be best to tie wet handker-
chief or cloth over the nose and mouth.
You will get a little air from the water.
Remember the air within six ihches
of the floor is free from smoke, so when
you have difficulty in breathing, crawl
along the floor, with the head low, drag
ging anyone you have rescued behind you.
If you tie the hands of an insensible
person together and put them over your
head, you will find 1t fairly easy to crawl
along the floor dragging him with you.
Never jump from a window unless the
flames are so close to you that this is
the only means of escape.
If you are outside a building, put bed
cling in a pile to break the jumpers fall,
or get strong carpet or rug to catch
him, and have 1t firmly held by as many
men and boys as can get hand holds.
In country districts, scouts should or
ganize bucket brigade, which consists
of two lines from the nearest water sup
ply to the fire. Scouts in one line pass
will hold water from one to another till
the last scout throws the water on the
fire. The buckets are returned by the
9th line

The Rhodes Memorial Tablet

Some men of recognized ability and
worthy achievements die and are soon
forgot. In this feverish age a man
prominent in public affairs must not
only be respected, but sincerely loved,
if his death is to be long lamented
or his memory fondly cherished.
Rufus N. Rhodes, editor and civic
leader, who has been dead more than
three years, is still held by this COM
munity in tender remembrance; and
SO strong was his personality, and so
untiring his efforts for the good of
birmingham, that no matter how
many leaders may come and go, he
will never be forgot.
The Chamber of Commerce yester-
day afternoon unveiled the Rhodes
memorial tablet. The exercises were
in every way fitting, and large and
representative attendance gave testi-
mony of the genuine appreciation of
the lamented citizen. Mr.. Babb, who
was formerly an associate of Mr..
Rhodes in editorial work, and the
author of the inscription on the tablet,
made the principal address at the un-
yelling. Public eulogies are often per-
fervid, but Mr.. Babb's was a model OF
good taste and felicitous phrasing.
Mr.. Rhodes was great newspaper
man-one of the greatest that the
south has produced. He was large
minded and generous hearted and,
adapting phrase from the tab
| let, his enthusiasm was "infecti-
ous." As an editor he always
contended for what h ebelieved to
be right, and as public speaker
no one surpassed him in moving elo-
quence. His life was truly an inspira-
ton to the youth of Birmingham.
When Mr.. Rhodes passed away the
whole city was grieved. The tablet
will not only be a token of remem-
brance for those still living, but it
will teach coming generations that the
-citizen who is deserving enshrine-
ment in the hearts of men is he who
labors unselfishly and couragously for
the good of his fellows.

columns of The Age-Herald.
This distinguished governor, of
language and latitude, was supported
by The Age-Herald and its editor in
his contest for governor of this state
lie was supported because by virtue
of his ancestry he was expected to
govern the states affairs upon broad
and generous basis.
1t was not presumed at that time
that he would have to issue long public
statements to explain his public acts.
This governor of Alabama issues IA
statement which is printed in another
column of this mornings issue of The
Age-Herald. The statement itself is
the best reply which could be made
to it.
The cartoons printed in The Age
Herald had meaning. This meaning
was manifest to the observer of a car.
toon
Perhaps the governor will desire to
make further statements in writing.
The more statements he makes the
better the public will understand him.

TREASON In RUssIA

From ''Plots in Postage Stamps" by
Gardner Teall in the December Book
man.
At the Cars express command series
of stamps bearing portraits of Russia,s s
rulers from the founding of the Roman
off dynasty to the present was prepared
but when the values with Car Nicholas
own portrait were put in circulation, the
orthodox Russian postmasters absolutely
refused to cancel them, taking the po-
sition that to deface the Cars por-
trait was to deserve Siberia. That was
the law, and the fact that the portrit
was on a postage stamp did not, in their
opinion, alter the status of the act in
the least. In vain the Car let 1t be
known that cancelling the stamps had
his approval, nay, even his command.
The rural postmasters were obdurate and
so the issue had to be withdrawn from
circulation to maintain the revenue, other
wise the private posts would have gotten
all the business.
