REViSlTlNG

The backward path to boyhood days
Is very hard find;
You trod it quickly whe nyour gaze
Surveyed old scenes Of bpyhCGd land
While strangers passed and never guessed
The growing turmoil in your breast:
That wall you climbed with all your might
The while you tore your stocking knees
Has shrunk to such puny height
You mount upon its crest with ease.
The tree that too thick to shin
Ey some odd means mas gotten thin
4.
Then crossed with frightened, hurrying feet
Lest traffic overtake you there,
Is now quiet village street
Each doorway vice and gate-post high
Seem smaller to your startled eye
Old friends that pass look up 10 smile
Who used to greet you smiling down;
A magic spell in this brief while
Has somehow fallen The town
Yet strange You seem he again
As small boy yousMere then
That backward path to boyhood days
Is closed to them that see
1t winds by Did familiar ways
And leads you to a mothers knee
Where boyhoods gentle king and queen
pispel the years that intervene
But if that path you cannot find
Since they two laid their sceptcrs down.
Yet other paths there are that wind
Through valleys to the Mother Town,
Where many dear remembered things
Call childhood back on certain wings

Beautiful Architecture

There is much beautiful architecture
in Birmingham, said visitor from Bos-
ton.
'Skyscraper construction seems to pre-
dominate now in point of numbers and
volume. Many old style architects be-
lleve that there is little art required to
erect a handsome skyscraper; however, 81
towering structure such as the new JET
ferson County Savings Bank building
must be planned by an artist who has
cue regard for the proportions before II
will take on such a graceful aspect.
Although one or two of the tall build
ings here, ] believe, are somewhat mar
row considering their immense height
nearly all are very pleasing to the eye.
The new Tutwiler now nearing completion
will certainly present an imposing ap-
pearance.
But according to the viewpoint of the
artist, without regard for size I believe
that the Morris hotel on First avenue
is one of the handsomest buildings, archi-
tectualy, | have ever seen. Its orna-
mentation is poem in masonry: and it
architecture is frozen music that hotel
is truly CONCEALED symphony. For its
pretentions | know of nothing prettier in
the country. and | have travelled through
most of the states of the unlon. I was
also much impressed by the great Termi-
nal station Of this city. and | understand
that the new $l00o,00o postIffice build
ing which the government will soon To-
cate in this city will be a magnificent
affair"

Retail rrade on lpgradc

"Within the last few weeks there
has been a distinct Improvement in my
line of retail trade" said J. b. Rob-
erts of the firm of Orr & Roberts, the
Fourth avenue grocerymen.
''One thing that contributes to this
increase in the fancy grocery trade
is the constant stream of newcomers
that are moving to the city, attracted
i'm many instances by the new indus
tries being located and put into oper-
alton Since the first of the year busi-
ness affairs in this city have been
gra dually taking on more prosperous
aspect. and | believe the recent open
ing of the great steel and wire mill
at Fairfield has marked the beginning
of the flood tide of business activity
in the Birmingham district The GUS
toners with whom l come in contact
SEEM to be growing more cheerful ev-
cry day and business associates more
and more optimistic.
Fancy groceries are coming into
great demand and by my experience
this may be taken as a sure sign OF
prevailing prosperity, for when things
are dull most people confine themselves
to the staple articles in all lines as
much as possible. Nineteen fourteen, in
my judgment, will be hummer

HOW TO SHAVE


Safety razors have been but mixed
blessing. They have made men forget
how to shave Apart from that, even a
safety razor can only be used in one
way If the best results are to be OF
tanned.
should be careful always to shave with
the run of the beard. Never shave
against the grain; it is bad for the skin,
the beard and the razor.
A safety razor should be pressed fiat
against the face, and the action of a
scythe should be initiated That is to
say, instead of running the razor straight
down the face, use a semf-circular mo-
ton.
Perhaps the most important part of a
shave is the lathering. The more tire
beard is lathered the softer 1t will be-
come. 1t is false economy TO scamp this
part of the performance in order to saw
time or trouble.
An ordinary razor should always ne
stropped before and after use, and the
soap should be thoroughly taken off it
by hot water. A razor is all the better
for a rest occasionally.
Learn how to use strop properly. The
not higher than the waist line. Shaving,
and the care of razor, is science and
the man who can keep his razors in good
condition is a man to be envIed, especial
ly in the winter

MANS TWO MINDS
New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Expounding a theory that man has
two minds, or adouble consciousness
objective and subjective-Mgr. Benson
has compared the two activities to an
upper and a lower room separated by a
trap door Dreams are due to the sub
check from the objective consciousness.
The man who usually claims to have
an evenly balanced mind is the one who
has to shut the trapdoor and remain in
the upper room; and those who have
closed the trapdoor and remain in the
lower roomms are commonly found in
lunatic asylums. The man of really even
balance either remains between the two
rooms or keeps the trapdoor well oiled
Napoleon in the lower room, conceiv ed
ideas for ruling Europe, and in the upper
room put his ideas into practice; Ra-
phael created combinations of colors and
then expressed them on canvas, and Bee
thoven in the lower room composed his
sonatas and in the upper room repro
duced the notes on paper.
The events of childhood are remarka-
bly, clear in the recollection of very old
people, though present happenings are
forgotten. This may be explained by
the decay of the objective consciousness.
and 1t is curious that as this decays the
subjective consciousness becomes more
acute

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
BIRD Hunting Ends This Week


This week closes the shooting season
for quail said Percy Clark. an ardent
follower of the sport.
'All in all, it has been somewhat un-
satisfactory, because the birds have been
less plentiful than we had right to eX-
pect from the promising outlook in the
early fall. when there seemed to be
plenty of young birds. One of the rea-
sons, think, for the disappointment was
the extreme long dry spell which caused
birds to migrate, as is known they will
sometimes do, to great distances. And
another contributing cause is the large
number of rabbit dogs of all mixtures,
classes and kinds. These dogs have de-
stroyed the young birds in many cases.
and more than that they destroyed many
& nest early in the season. Most of these
6ogs unfed by their owners, having to
make their own living are everlastingly
prowling night and day 1t can readily
he seen that with the egg-sucxing pro-
clivities they destroy a large number OF
nests.
Il regret to see so much burning of
cover and dead timber in many sections
OF the state, either by the carelessness
of rabbit hunters or indifference as to
what follows, as this deprives the birds
of shelter from preylng varments, hawks
and rabbit dogs. l should think that
there ought to be dog tax of 81 for
the first dog and 50 fer each additional
enc kept by any owner While this would
not do away with the bird destroyers, it
would to degree cut them off,

Alleged Discovery of Amazon Home


A pretty, if not startling, story
comes from South America that Dr.
Hamilton Rice, the Harvard scientist,
who has for seven years been engaged
in an exploration of the upper ANA
zon and Orinoco river basins, has dis
covered the home of the ancient ANA
IONS.
While searching for canoe crews
along the banks of the Icana river he
discovered a village under feminine
domination where masculine society
is tolerated only twice year. The
doctor says that the women appeared
to be permanent residents, but the
men were from tribes scattered along
| the River Guiana, and that in his ne
gotiations he was compelled to deal
exclusively with the females.
| At first the militant Amazon leader
would consent to no parlying but a
threat upon the part of the doctor to
burn the village Immediately brought
the women to terms.
The question as to the identity, or
even the existence, of the Amazon
has ever been fascinating one Poor
old Herodotus in his characteristic
duplicity minutely describes these
strange warriors, but it has been gem
orally accepted that their real exist
ence is myth born of the first vision
of a man upon horseback. Their hab-
itat was always placed in some far off,
unknown region, and it is not to be
wondered at that when America was
| discovered they were assigned a place
in that strange and newly-found land.
Even the name has puzzled philo-
logists and the most ingenious ac-
counting for the cognomen is from the
Greek designating the word signifying
without breast" from the custom
that obtained among the female war
| riors of cutting away in infancy the
right breast in order to facilitate the
dexterous handling of the spear in
warfare and the hunt.
That DR.. Rice has discovered fe-
male community under feminine ex-
elusive control should not be gain
said, but that he has unearthed the
home of the ancient Amazon cannot
be accepted in sense of seriousness.

A FUTURrsT CONCERT

From the New York World
There was a Futurist concert in Milan
few weeks ago. concert organized
under the motto, "The Gloriication of
Noise" The Futurist musicians are try
ing to do the same thing for sound that
their painters are doing for color and
desgn-break away from all traditions
and give the world something entirely
new and uninhuenced by the masters.
Esther Swinson. in a letter to Musical
America. gives the following brief de-
scription of this concert.
-Four pieces were played on the new
noise making instruments. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
The Awakening of the Capital Rem
devious of Autos and Aeroplanes,' Din
ner on the Terrace of the Casino,' and
'Skirmish in the Oasis
"The instruments that took part COM
prised three groaners two eXploders, one
thunderer, three whistles, two rustlers,
two gurglers, one shatterer, one scrapef,
one snorter
LAS a footnote to the account of this
remarkable concert we may read that, i'll
spite OF the 1neXperlence or some OF the
executants, the ensemble playing was al
most perfect throughout, and that the
public was not only impressed, but de-
lighted by the beauty of the sounds that
the noscians produced.
Russolo the Futurist painter says that
today is the era of noise thar noise dom
mates all the sensibilities of men; that
the orchestras of today are capable OF
producing only five kinds of noises-those
of stringed instruments, either bower or
plucked, brass and wood WIND and in
struments of percussion. He thinks the
world is weary of so limited an orches-
ira especially as the world around us
is playing a new music to our eai s..
These noises of this twentieth century
world are what the Futurist orchestra
is designed to produce.

some splendid stories. and the 70 guests
present were often convulsed with mirth
in the course of the evening.
''In the first place. each guest present
was required to introduce himself to the
assembage; and it was noted that there
We're representatives from IA states of the
union, while two claimed England as their
home. A band of 20 pieces. composed ex-
clusively of members of the association
and led by Prof Philip Memoli, played
choice selections at intervals during the
evening, and the whole affair, including
the band, was voted distinct success

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When a man starts to go to the devil
because of his matrimonial troubles at
home, he usually hunts out a devil who
has blond hair and bright eyes.
Yessir, the hustle will be on the job this
summer But the designers knew there
was no way to get it underneath the tight
skirt, so they have compromised and the
fool thing will hang on the outside. For
further information see any fashion maga-
zine.
The meanest man we know of put a
lead dollar in his pocket the other night,
knowing his wife would cop it out. She
nearly got into trouble trying to pass it,,
but she daren't say a word to friend
husband.
The women are getting so wise that a
man has a hard time digging up excuses.
The latest is to blame the blond hair on
your vest on the fact that you We're play
ing with a skye terrier when you were
down town
Why is it that a man who is almost
aid has to have his hair cut almost every
other day?
An ideal wife would be a woman who
believed that what she didn't know
wouldn't hurt her.
The modern girls idea of love in a cot
tage is to retire to 2o-room bungalow
with a garage annex.
What has become of the old fashioned
woman who used to crawl under a feather
bed when a thunderstorm came along?
The reason why contentment is better
than great riches is because it is so
much harder to get.
A married womans description of an
ideal man seldom listens anything like
what her husband looks.
They have made lots of improvements
in automobiles. But they have never been
able to invent anything that would pre-
vent a horse from getting his tail over
the lines.
And the average girl is not nearly as
bad as she is painted
Some girls are born light headed and
others acquire Stiffness and use peroxide.
Man spends one-half of his life watching
the hair coming out on his upper lip and
the other half watching it coming out
on the top OF his head.

HOW SAVINGS GROW
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A savings bank in Evanston has adver-
tised that it will place 81 to the credit of
every baby born in that city, and it ad-
vises parents of the children to deposit
on each birthday of the child as many
dollars as the youngster Is years Old,
then to let the money remain in the
bank, drawing interest, until the. child
reaches 21,
1t is a clever advertisement and excel
lent advice. If parents did that, the
total sum deposited to the credit of tie
child upon its twenty-first birthday, In
cluding $2l for that birthday, would be
1921, or an average of $ll a year. But
the bank account that twenty-frst
birthday would show a much larger sum.

That is, the sum of $3.50 will have

amount which would accrue at simple n

would be about 60 per cent or the aver

shown how money breeds from itself, and
there is little doubt that parents able to

"The White Peril"

Herbert Quick, novelist, doesn't lie
awake O. nights worrying himself
about the yellow peril" In his opin-
ion it is not his "yellow peril" that
threatens the future happiness and
prosperity of the inhabitants of the
earth, but the white peril" In his
new novel, "On Board the Good Ship
Earth" Mr.. Quick discusses some of
Thu most vital problems confronting
humanity with that calm finality of
writers who think they have found
= solution, or recipe. Says Mr..
Quick: For hte first time in history
THE people are wise enough to see the
lowering problems. But if they solve
them they must think about them.
Rhat's why have written my book,
q start them thinking in earnest" "
Incidentally, if the audience Mr.. Quick
hopes to reach takes him seriously,
the sales of his book will be enormous.
But to the peril" The white race
has been a race of grabbers and de-
spoilers from an early day, opines Mr..
