Offices Moved to Bessemer

When the United States Cast Iron
Pipe and Foundry company purchased
the Dimmick pipe plant at Birmingham

Lilies will be scarce this year. owing to

churches use them sparingly. The mass
of decoration is white and colored azaleas,
chiefly white, with rush palms and some
roses. The latter are increased in favor
this year because plenty. and because of
the scarcity of lilies.
Conditions of the lily crop in the Ber-
mudas have nothing whatever to do with
the supply of lilies here for Easter in the
churches. Some years ago the expert
ment of bringing blossoms from Bermu-
das was tried for churches In cities along
the Atlantic coast, but it was unsatisfac-
tory. Now bulbs are brought here in
August and distributed as far west as
the Mississippi river. They are bloomed
when needed.
Large Northern Demand
1t is an interesting fact that the largest
demands for flowers for Easter come from
extreme northern cities, where flowers
are harder to produce at early dates. The
Pacific coast fills its own needs, which
arc not large, and the south does the
some. Ninety per cent of the entire
Easter flower market is in the cities from
Boston west to Omaha and north of Gin
seapolis are relatively larger Easter flower
markets than almost any other Cities

is concerned Is the care of Jewish girls

homes in and near these cities. 1t Is
claimed that the most perfect system of
immigrant protection for girls has been
built up by the council.
A unique part of this Jewish immigra-
ton work extends also to foreign coun-
tries. Many girls coming to America are
not allowed to land because of defective
sight. possibly weak minds Efforts are
made at foreign ports to prevent the sail
ing of such girls, but many get through.

PART OF HUMOR.

It was the saying of an ancient
sage that humor was the only test of
gravity, and gravity of humor, for a
subject that would not bear raillery
is suspicious, and jest that will not
bear serious examination is GER
tainly false to it. But the laws of
humor must apply to the laws of good
breeding IL the humor is to be genu-
inely appreciated. 1t is well that our
conversation should be spiced with
wit, but should smack of cleanliness
and not of the low and vulgar sugges-
tions. 1t Is growing pity that men
and women are becoming careless in
their forms Of speech. 1t may offend
many to hear this, but 1t is the truth,
and sometimes the truth is an uncom-
Portable champion. There are also
cases in which a joke becomes posi-
lively good because it is so intoler
ably bad, not in moral sense, but
in humorous one. Such jokes are
applauded in an inverse ratio of their
real merit, as the great monors are
frequently showered upon men who
have the least honor A good laugh
is a great cure for dyspepsia, but the
laugh must be honestly aroused. 1t
must come from wholesome source.
