TEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Willie Rit-

Fighter is the word. ? He dOesn't

his battles. He sails right IN from
the tap Of the bell and never lets up
until the gong rings again for the min

Joe Cans reigned supreme
Not that Willie showed much Of the
scientific stuff in the Cross bout here
On the contrary he discarded skill IN
favor Of smuggling, meeting Cross at his
favorite style Of milling, and what
more Outfought and outslugged the
local man in every one OF the ~
rounds After seeing him pull the
clever stuff in training it was sur
prise indeed to watch him stand toe
to toe with Cross, reputed the hardest
hitter in the 1913 pound class, and eX-
change wallOp for wallop.
Richie told me before the bout that
he wanted to show New Yorkers he IS
a fighter, not an accidental champion,
and he did il with a vengeance. While
in the opinion of the experts Richie a
a boxer failed to equal the showing of
Mcfarland and Britton in their bouts
with Cross the unanimous verdict Of
the unprejUdiced judges present was
that as a fighter he is the goods
Cross was a lucky young man to
survive the third round. Ritchie put
him down twice, the second time for
nine seconds. and only the champion )
anxiety to finish matters in a hurry
and the fact that the round was almost
over saved the local man from a
knockout.
Ritchie is well worthy the title OF
champion. Over the 10 round distance
he is a bear, and in a longer bout he
should be even better, judging from
what he showed against Cross after he
warmed to his job.
Freddy Welsh might outpolnt Kit
chic in a 10 round bOut-if lucky
enough to weather the attacks Of the
Californian for that length of time
I can't think of any other boy in the
division who looks to have the ghost
of a chance to beat Willie.
Too bad Packey Mcfarland can't
make the weight demanded by the
champion-135 pounds ringside. That
would make a great match. Mcfarland
with his great speed and cleverness
and Ritchie with his strength, hitting

There still remain two divisions. Of
which one will be known as class A
and the other as class 3. The stand

said a member of the Chamber of Com
meree. The fling which Virginia paper
made incidentally anent Blrmingham's S
growth, stating what was not true, that
the city was extended beyond the county
even, has called to mind some interesting
facts.
In 1910 the census bureau credited this
city with 132.6S5. The enumerators did
their work honestly no doubt, but many
people would not stand stir long enough
to be counted and we did not get as good
were entitled TO. When the census was
taken Birmingham had population of
about $4,000 instead of $4,000.
Il am a frequent visitor to Atlanta
and am familiar with conditions there
The population of that city in 1910 was
about 145,o0o-from 10000 to 145oOO, would
say-but in the census it was credited
with a population of 154 900. 1 felt sure
that the Atlanta returns were padded to
the extent of just about 5000 or 10,O0o
but that is neither here nor there now
'Birmingham's last school census show
ed that we were growing at the rate
of 10000 year. A year ago when the
last school census was taken we had a
population of from $4,000 to 10000 We
have without question 10000 now There
is steady incoming of people who are
settling here and the ratio of increase

Persistent agitation against railroads

this is noticeable even in the states where
the most pronounced agitation existed-a
kindlier feeling to The railroads and rec

twins. the roads and the people are SO
closely connected that one cannot suffer
without the other suffering and one can
not prosper unless the other is prosperous.
1.-THE people of the country at large are
even more vitally interested in the en-
largement of transportation facilities by
enormous expenditures of capital than are
the railroads themselves, because the peo-
pie are greater in number than the stock

From the Pharmaceutical Era.
Medicine, in common with all other
sciences, has progressed upward from
pure empricism, and one of the latest
branches to emerge from the msts of the
deals with the care of the skin Skin
diseases have given rise to many abuses
in the way of treatment, so much SO as
to lead an authority to state that in no
field have quacks piled their trade so
shamelessly. But with the great work Of
Paschkis and Unna as a basis, physicians
have come to recognize a wide field for
their abilities in devising proper means to
keep the skin in healthy and beautiful
condition. Much progress has been made
in the last dozen years, until now it can
be said that there is no excuse for SUBJ
mitting to the expensive fakery of
beauty doctors" A number of Special
lists have prepared formulas of proved
efficacy and while they do not claim them
to be cures they believe that the minor
affections of the skin, which do not re-
quire direct surgical or medical attention
can be greatly ameliorated by the use of
the proper remedies. An article in re-
cent issue of the Era presents a number
of these formulas, and places them in the
hands of pharmacists to whom they may
not be readily accessible.
1t is interesting to note that those who
know most about cosmetics lay the
greatest stress ON the Importance of
washing the inside of the cup. A good
complexion must be built up by correct
ing the general health, instead of attempt
ing to remove outward symptoms by
cosmetics. Thus modern knowledge
tends to throw some doubt on the adage
anent the superficiality of beauty.

Fewer Army Posts

Secretary of War Garrison accom-
panied by Major General Leonard
Wood is to visit the principal army
posts of the country with a view of
abolishing about rs per cent of them.
Other war secretaries have favored
a reduction in the number of posts,
but congressman have always inter-
fered and posts that could have been
discontinued without detriment to the
service have been kept in commits
sion.v Concentration rather than dis
tribution of the comparatively small
army of the United States is obviously
better from viewpoint of efficiency.
But no matter how few troops may
be stationed at any point it increases
local trade there. And when local
interests are affected The representa-
tive of the district is asked to use his
influence. All these small matters
counted in other years, but the coun-
try has progressed beyond small,
selfish considerations and they should
not count now.
Secretary Garrison has studied the
situation and his report in favor of
reducing the number of posts should
and probably will be favorably con-
sidered by Congress.

In the Residence Sections

great commercial and industrial pro-
gress and the improvements in it's bus
mess district is the splendid develop
ment that is in evidence in the resi-
dence sections. The strides being made
in the skyscraper center are remarked
by veryone-resident and visitor alike
but along with all this rapid build
ing up downtown" is wide expansion
of the residence sections. If the South
Highlands came under the head of the
beautiful four or five years ago, that
part of Birmingham is far more beau
tiful now. And as a chart in yester-
days Age-Herald showed, the Country
club district has been developed re-

tude. Has any city in the United
States boulevard commanding such
enchanting views as one finds in Alta
mont road on the crest of Red noun
tain? If there are any prospects more
charming it is not easy to recall them.
Another fact about Birmingham
from residence point of view is the
broadening out work that is being
done. In some large cities one ele-
CANT and fashionable home section is
found. But here in Birmingham, with
rugged hills lining the valley, several
residence sections attract attention.
On the north side as we'll as the Red

North Haven and in and beyond Nor
wood beautiful effects are revealed.
And in the suburbs of Ensley and
Fairfield and in other districts OF
Greater Birmingham, the beautiful is
more and more sought and realized.
This city is becoming prominent, in
deed, as a place of lovely homes and
lovely landscapes. The beautiful in
any bustling, growing city is certainly
a valuable asset. 1t is an asset of Bir-

AIabama's Increasing Coal Production

Alabama's Increasing Coal Production
The annual report of Chief Mine In
spector Charles H. Nesbitt, published
in Thursdays Age-Herald, was full of
interest and full of encouragement.
Alabamas coal output in 1912 was
16,513,040 tons, an increase of practi-
cally 100000 tons over 1911. The in
crease, it is pointed out, would have
been about 100000 tons but for car
shortage in the Birmingham district.
In 1883 this states coal production
amounted to only 1,O00,OOO tons. There
has been steady increase year by
year and as the coal business in this
district is very active the output in
1913 will probably reach 100000
tons. By 1914 it should round the 90
000,0O0-ton mark.
In coal operations in Alabama near
ly 24,000 men are employed. Mr. Mes
bitt, in his report, says that hundreds
of mine employees have reduced the
cost Of living by raising their own
vegetables. He says this has been en-
couraged by the members of the Ala
bama Coal Operators association by
building fences, furnishing seed and
fertilizer and offering prizes. Some
of them, says Mr.. Nesbitt, have en-
ployed agricultural experts to teach
and encourage truck gardening.
Even now," according to the inspec-
tors report, cit can be asserted with
out fear of contradiction that the
health, housing and living conditions
of the coal mine employees of Alabama
are far better than any other class
of laboring people in the state and are
equal to any and better than many
places in other mining districts"
The one regrettable fact in Mr. Mes
bits report is the large number of
men killed during the year, although,
he says, few if any serious explosions
have taken place. The fatality list was
much smaller than in 1911 but it was
too large. Many-of the deaths resulting
from accident were traceable to care
lessness on the part of the unfortun-
ate victims. Everything possible is be-
ing done by the coal operators and the
inspectors department TO greatly min
imize the number of casualties.

Iapanese Ambition

There is a disposition among far
Asighted English writer's to warn the
Australians of an, inevitable con-
flict with Japan. Years ago an immi-
grant tax was imposed upon Japanese
by the great commonwealth of the
southern seas with the evident purpose
of excluding them. Today in Australia
compulsory military service is exacted
from all male citizens; and philan-
thropic sociologists are mourning over
the harm done to the community by
this law. Both Australia and New Zea-
land, strongly impregnated though
they are with socialist opinions, seem
aware of an impending struggle for
'gheir life, and are getting ready.
If would seem that the friction and
debate aroused by California have
riveted attention on the Pacific as the
probable scene of a new race struggle.
The white and the yellow races will ap-
parently renew the old conflict that
once made Turk or Tartar the terror
of Christendom, either at the gates of
Constantinople or where so recently
the bold Bulgar soldiery has done
heroic things.
knowledge of Japanese conditions
forbids US to think it possible that such
conflict can come soon. 1t ought never
to come. Expansion for them should
mean Asiatic expansion. They cannot
find the means for war with either
Of the great English speaking pow
ers, least of all with their American
neighbors. They are going to pocket
the California affront land chafe
against the barriers, Only when a
European complication may bring
some western nation to use them
against England, supply them with
means, and assist them against the
common enemy, will il, be conceivable
that war should arise between the
Japanese and ourselves.
Treaty revision is undoubtedly nec-
essary, and in the treaties Of the
future we must recognise the principle
