 The dogs of war today are real, they the missing wounded with a them. The Paris correspondent of the Journal the American Medical Association refers to the organization of a canine ambulance under Captain Tolet the SOclete Rationale du Chien Sanitaire 1908. Dogs are trained to search for the wounded lying out of sight and to bring kepi other evidence of the find to ambulance headquarters, from which they guide the litter bearers to the wounded men The number of men who disappear after battle is usually quite large; the reports always refer to the dead wounded and missing of each regiment.
 This canine ambulance service has been adopted in the German army also because the battle maneuvers of modern armies involve larger areas the tactical demands of modern warfare requires combatants to shield themselves, and the long dis tance arms prevent the little bearers doing their best work until night protects them and the wounded In the night work, too the dogs assist by precluding the necessity carrying lights that would draw long distance firing. Germany now utizes a force of 2OOO dogs trained for this bene- ficient work by private and government effort to serve auxiliaries to the Red Cross service To prevent epidemics among these valuable dogs pri- vate individuals encouraged to. train them in different parts of the country where they may be- come familiar with the topography; also to secure effective cooperation possible battle fields those localities.

The Shrines of Americans

So deeply insrained in nature is the need of pilgrimage for the spirit of reverence that must reckon with it of the universal human qualities Our New England Puritanism has eNtirpated it. We have shrines at Plymouth and even in the midst of the hard practical materalism of Boston. The lover of America. who has not felt himself in sacred place when he stood Burial Hill in Plymouth or looked at the quiet street that covers the silently buried dead of that first winter. must have little imagination or sense of reverence TO stand with covered head by the grave in the garden of Mount Vernon shows apathy and in sensfbiHy of soul.

Early in the year of 1888 there ap-
peared a volume from the pen of DR..
Eugene Allen Smith, state geologist,
which gives in interesting form an
agricultural survey of the state of Ala
bama. The work not only deals with
the agriculture of that time but in
addition gives something of the geol-
ogy of the state, with reference to
the formation. of soils and their agri-
cultural and mineral value. This volume
may be found in the public library
where it may be consulted by those
who wish to gain "a keen insight into
subjects having TO do with the soil.
April Z. 1910, the bureau of soils of
the United States department of agri-
culture issued Soil Survey of Jeffer-
son County, Alabama" This work
treats of the soils of the county more
strictly from the viewpoint of the ag-
riculturst. The reading matter is con-
fined strictly to description of the
various soil types as they occur in the

cluded.
During 1911 the farm movement de-
partment of the Chamber of Commerce
issued folder dealing with Jefferson
county and Birmingham, Ala. In this
folder William Lehman of the local
weather bureau tells of 1.-THE Climate of
Birmingham and Vicinity. G. B. Mcvay
and Q. L. Ayrs each have dealt with
the Agricultural and Horticultural
Possibilities of Jefferson County," In
addition several letters are appended
written by men who, from actual prac-
tice as market gardeners, recount
their success with the various truck
crops, giving planting dates, Yields and
market prices.
From time to time there has appeared
in the local papers articles dealing
with the yields of cotton and corn and
truck crops throughout the district.
After all which has been published
and said with reference to the agri-

heavily Travelled than any other from
the city. East Lake is one of Bir-
mingham's oldest suburbs and for many
years it has been very popular. In
Woodlawn there are many beautiful
homes. Gate City is in the same gen.
eral direction. Both of these places
are built up solidly. Avonda1e is the
home of hundreds of working men, and
can hardly be classed as a suburb as
1t is now almost in the heart of the
city. by
Neither the North nor the South
Highlands can be classed as suburbs,
but there are subdivisions being built
near them which will offer unusual at
fractions to the home-seeker in the
near future. "A number of these sub
divisions are now being prepared and
when they are put on the market it
is expected that a rush will be made
for home sites. The subdivisions al
ready laid out near the city. and es-
pecially those of the Southside, have
proven very popular.
Prices Are Reasonable
1t is said that suburban lots are
cheaper in the Birmingham district than
any city of the same size in the south
As yet values are not inflated here,
either in city or suburban property
and while prices have more than
doubled within the past few years, the
district is growing at such rate that
other large increases are sure to fol-
low.
Well posted men declare that within
another decade or two there will be

the east to Bessemer on the west. AT
present the city, is built almost solid
as far west as Ensley along some OF
| the car lines, and the proposed "Ensley
to East Lake" boulevard Will be an
| incentive to encourage building along
this route.
The highlands, both north and south
will be the respective boundaries for
| the city proper for many years tc
come, but already many persons who
desire country homes with all the con-
veniences of the city are going beyond
the confines of the mountains.
