Prosperity in This County

Last summer witnessed great pros
perity in the Birmingham district but
no more than is in evidence now.
The extra session of the Sixty y-third
Congress had hardly convened when
New York bankers and capitalists be-
gan to raise an alarmist cry. The
democrats led by Mr.. Underwood were
committed to a downward revision of
the tariff but tariff revision, accord
ing to reactionary republicans and
protected monopolists, meant business
disturbance, not to say disaster.
There was nervous feeling for a
time but the sane and patriotic people
of this country, recognizing fully the
justice of tariff reform, hailed Mr..
Underwood's measure with confidence
and enthusiasm. After several weeks
of consideration the financial interests
Of the east are accepting the demo-
cratic policy with equanimity. The eff
feet of tariff revision has been dis
counted and the business world is
steadying up for an active period dur
ing the last half of the year.
The great crops are naturally stim-
ulating business. Pessimism that was
manifest while ago is giving place
to optimism. This is great country.
1t was country of prodigious re-
sources 10 years ago. Its resources
are much larger today.
The money market, which has been
very tight, is leasing up" and it is
safe to assume that by the first of
August everybody, even in New York,
will be talking good times"

Every section of the city is plainly

Perhaps the most striking feature of
the view is the fact >that the various
heights of all the splendid skyscrapers

Needless to say that the jefferson
County Savings bank building towers
above the others not only because of
its additional stories but because of its

BASEBALL COMETS

Ed A. Goewey, in Leslie's.
AS single instance of the efforts
made to turn a promising player into a
star, let us take the case of Jim Thorpe,
the wonderful all round Indian athlete.
McGraw paid several thousand dollars for
this man. outbidding both the Reds and
the Pirates for his services. During the
spring practice it was seen that he was
long way from being finished baseball
artist, and the New York management de-
cided to use the season of 1913 to break
him in, though at the same time cheer
fully paying him an annual salary said
to be around $1,000. Thorpe is likely to
make good, but the New York and other
teams have often purchased men, given
them a seasons training and their SAL
aries. only to find in the end that the pre-
noms wouldn't do for the majors. Every
year is literally punctuated with these
baseball comets. McGraw. in speaking of
Thorpe recently, said He is learning
more rapidly than any ball player | have
had on a team of mine in the past 10
years. In another year he should be ready

WHAT rs MODEsTYs
From the Argonaut.

fIOn1 INC al 6oidots
All depends on what we mean by mod
esty. Miss Els tells us that no woman
can dance the tango unless she wears
skirt split to the knee. Now it Is well
known in heaven that we are not prudish.
Quite the contrary. Modesty and inn
modesty are usually matters of conven-
ton, and among white women 1t is us
ually considered immodest to show the
knee. There is nothing immodest about
the feminine knee at least we have been
told not by those who know. our own op-
portunties being limited A woman S
knee is much like a mans knee. and we
observe our own knees without a blush
have often done SO. The actual indeli-
cacy is not in showing the knee, but in
doing something that is forbidden by the
conventions of the day in such matters.
The Turkish woman of caste thinks it in
delicate to show her face, and therefore
it is indelicate so long as the present
Turkish convention continues. In an
American hotel it is not customary to de-
pute a maid servant to assist the male
guests at their full length and altogether
ablutions. We should think it indelicate
and therefore it would be indelicate. But
this very thing is the practice in japan.
for example. and because II Is the rrac-
tice it is not indelicate. That Is where
our prudes usually make their great mis-
take. They suppose the indelicacy is in
the act itself (which is a mistake. The
indelicacy isin the defiance of the conven-
ton that rules in such matters. And the

University Free Dispensary

Much enthusiasm is being aroused
among prominent citizens in favor of
the University Free Dispensary, which
was recently established in Birming-
ham and which is doing genuine
philanthropic work of far reaching.
All manner of diseases are diagnozed
and treated by the ablest medical
talent.
The graduate school of medicine of
the university, formerly Birmingham
college, is to become a great adjunct
to Alabama's foremost institution of
learning. Within two, or three years
it will be recognized as the greatest
graduate school in the south and will
draw medical attendants from all the
southern states.
The free dispensary is to become
another great branch of the univer-
sity. The temporary quarters now
used are very cramped. President
Denny of the university will appoint
a committee TO canvass for funds with
which to erect and furnish the needed
building. 1t should be a compara-
lively easy matter to raise for this
laudable object 100000. A building
costing about $4,000 would be ade-
quate and something like $4,000 will
be needed to pay for the furniture and
equipment.
Birmingham is called upon fire.
quently to raise large sums of money.
1t has the money raising habit well
developed. 1t is easier to raise
100000 now than it was to raise
$4,000 few years ago. The free
dispensary fund should be in sight

Pittsburg's New Taxation System


Birmingham has for several months
been stirred by agitation favoring a
change in the method of taxation. Eff
forts have been made to devise a plan
which not only would yield more rev.
enue but which would be more equi-
table,
In another column of today's Age
Herald will be found an explanation
of the new system in Pittsburg inau-
gurated by recent legislative act. The
article is by Allen 7. Burns, secretary
of the Pittsburg Civic commission,
and the new system as described by
him is almost revolutionary in Ameri-
ca, so far as large cities are con-
cerned.
Under the new law buildings or i'm
proved property are taxed only one
half as much as real estate. 1t offers
the greatest advantage to the man
who improves his real estate and does
away with the practice from which so
many southern cities have suffered
