Birmingham,s pleasant Climate

Il have lived in several cities, inelud-
ing New York, Washington, Richmond
and Atlanta, and | do not hesitate to
say that Birmingham has about the best
climate for all the year round comfort
that I have experienced" said a man
of 10 years residence here.
occasionally we have disagreeable win
ters but last winter was mild and 1t
might be taken as a good example of
our winter seasons. AS for the Birmins-
ham summers. they are cooler and pleas
anter in every respect than the summers
in most northern cities. We seldom have
excessive heat here and heat prostra-
tions are practically unknown

ONE THING BULLFROGS CAN'T DO
From the Popular Magazine


John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee was
discussing his plan to publish some of
the letters he received and wrote while
a member of the House of Representa-
tives.
On his list was the following COM
munication, which constituent had sent
him:
Dear Mr.. Gaines-f am farmer in
yore districlS and I have built a big pond.
Please send me sum govinment bullfrogs,
so l kin raise big sight of them."
Mr.. Gaines replied in these words:
''I am informed by the bureau of fish
cries that, while the government fur
nishes the people with fish eggs, it is i'm
possible for the bureau to comply with
your request, because, unfortunately,
bullfrogs do not lay eggs

Bryan as a Diplomat

Bryan as Diplomat
No one ever questioned William
Jennings Bryan's ability as an orator
or politician, but many people, even
some of Mr.. Bryan's democratic par
tisans, thought that he would be out
of place at the head of the state de-
partment. Mr.. Bryan was always self
centered. His opponents accused him
of egotism and uncompromising as
sertiveness. He had long been used
to speaking his mind boldly. He
wanted to dominate, and as matter
of fact one faction of the democratic
party was easily dominated by him.
Knowing Mr.. Bryan's independence
of thought and action it was feared
that he was temperamentally unsuited
to engage in the business of diplo-
macy, but he is turning out to be
an agreeable surprise. He is proving
to be admirably adapted to the high
position he now holds. OF course,
with Mr.. Bryan's large opportunities
of observing world affairs and his
familiarity with foreign governments
by travel and personal contact with
official personages he was able to take
a statesman's view of international
questions, but it is a revelation to
many persons no doubt to find Mr.
Bryan more than holding his own in
the language of diplomacy-restrained
and tactful as we'll as courteous.
In his delicate mission to California
President Wilson's Secretary of State
has acquitted himself with signal
credit. He is an honor to the admin
istration and the people generally will
regard him as an honor to the coun-
try.
\ The sending of the Secretary of
State to California for the purpose
of inducing If possible the legislature
to "go slow" in considering and act
ing upon the alien land bill was an
innovation in White House policy. The
President has a way of ignoring ira
dition and brushing aside convention,
but as an innovation his diplomatic
course in relation to California is such
a distinct departure as to make it of
large and far reaching Importance.
While this precedent which the Presi-
dent has just set has not resulted as
the administration hoped it would,
yet so skilfully and CONSIDERABLY have
the President and the Secretary of
State acted in dealing with California
that no principle of states rights has
been violated. At the same time the
precedent established of getting
in close touch with the states-will
prove valuable in other cases.
Mr.. Bryan in his address to the
Legislature and indirectly to the peo-
pie of California spoke as past mas
ter in diplomacy. Without sacrificing
any particle of dignity his words
were soft as velvet and most gracious
and his whole manner was calm and
courtly. Never for moment did he
show irritation at what was seen from
the start to be hopeless mission so
far as action at this time was con-
cerned. But Mr.. Bryan's trip to Cali
fornia as the high personal represen-
tative of the President will, it is be-
lieved, bear good fruit ultimately.
Washington diplomacy and Japanese
diplomacy will find some way to con-
tinue the closest relations of amity
in behalf of the two nations.

Death of Mathem atician

Professor Charles II. Jourdan, Ph.D.,
40 years professor of mathematlcs OF
st. Mary's college, Emmitsburg, Nd,
who died recently, was one of the ablest
educators in this country" said Blr-
mingham clergyman.
He was an astronomer. and as a
mathematician he was in the front
rank. Bishop Allen and number OF
the younger clergy of this diocese
studied under Professor Jourdan and
they will fondly cherish his memory.

WORLDS GREAT TUNNEL BUILDER

From "Olaf Hoff-His Work. by Flynn
Wayne in National Magazine for
April.
In the work of building tunnels ur-
Ger the rivers of New York city the
success of Mr.. Hoff's method at De-
II oft attracted wide attention, and he
with his associates was successful in
securing the contract to build the new
four-track tunnels under the Harlem
river, connecting Manhattan with its
fastest growing region, the Bronx. The
dredging of the ditch across the river
bed and the drilling of the rock for
the approaches is now well under way.
The big steel tubes for the tunnel are
being built and some day, at the word
of command. the fleet of steel tubes
VIII sail forth to sink-sinn glorious
ly to the bottom. there to become trans
formed into links of steel and concrete

oi great metropolis.
And among its passengers when the
tunnel rs finally completed may be
ole, with sandy hair now streaked with
gray, whose blue eyes behind rims of
gold will calmly scan the morning pa
per. But who of his fellow passengers
would know, unless they were told.
that it was Olaf Hoff, the builder of
the tunnel-the man who has saved
countless lives of future tunnel build
ers and toilers

State Senator Hugh Morrow saws he is
willing to stand sponsor for a bill to
substitute electroeution for hanging in

that Senator Morrow will introduce a
measure looking to this end at the next
session of the legislature.

SPENDING


Walter E. Wegt-ip the Saturday Even
ing Post.
Spending is mere putting out your
personality 1t is like the trailing
feathers to a peacoelx-like the long
train to fashionable woman Why
does the barefoot negro boy acquire
four yellow dogs? They add to his
personality Why do we all-shopgirls
and plumbers, fashionable literary
hacks and gentlemenly financial
pirates-spend every cent we get, hon
|estly and dishonesty, wisely and other
wisely? We stretch out as far as we
can and vanity, my friend, is the only
balloon that never bursts Why does the
stag grow horns until it can hardly
make its way through the forest? And
why did Absalom wear his locks SO
long that they caught in an oak tree
and held him until Joab and his men
came up? Vanity. In some tribes they
worship the fat man, who has put
much food under his glistenlng skin.
Among other tribes they worship YOU
for the servants you employ without
using, for the food you purchase with
out eating. To spend to use is vulgar.
To spend to waste is the only admira-
bic and admired spending. Finisi

EXCUSES SLAYERS GIVE
From Parsons weekly

FROM Pearson's Weekly
<<T KILLED him out of pity" said
Clark, the Eurasian doctor. whose
trial for the double eIdrder of his
own wife and of Mr.. Fulham has Gre
ated such intense excitement in India,
and for which he has just been sentenced
TO death.
OF course, this was not the original
motive. But it seems quite possible that,
having reduced his victim to such a mis-
cradle condition by repeated doses of ar
senic, Clark was moved by some sensa-
tion resembling compassion in admins
tering the final dose which ended his suf-
ferings.
The cold statistics of murder set out in
blue books make terrible yet fascinating
reading. The great majority of murderers
murdered are women. Jealousy is the
main cause of murder.
Yet every now and then there crops up
a-case in which the motive is SO strange
that no writer of fiction would dare to
use it as a peg ON which to hang story.
Take the case of the infamous Thomas
Wainewright, a man whom most of his
acquaintance believed to be all that was
kind and good hearted. He was in partic-
ular known to be kind to animals. Yet
this man killed his fellow beings for as
little reason as child kills a fly. Once
he poisoned a complete stranger for no
better reason than the fact that he had
insured his life in an office against which
Wainwright mad grudge. And as for
one of his woman victims, his chief OBJ
lection to her seems to have been that
she had thick ankles

1t was literally true. His wife was a
