Alabama One of the Few

The United States Chamber of Com
merce has just issued map of this
country in which by colors three bust
ness conditions are ndicated-good,
fair and poor. White indicates good;
blue, fair; and yellow, poor.
Many states of the union are
marked all blue, which would mean
fair business conditions. A few are
yellow, which would mean very poor.
Alabama is one of the few white"
states, the only one in the south.
Mississippi has small white area, but
the greater part of that state is blue.
Middle Virginia has white area, with
the rest Of the state blue. Georgia
and the Carolinas are all blue. Penn
sylvania is shown in three colors blue,
white and yellow-yellow in the Pitts
burg district. New York is mostly
blue. A part of the middle west is
WHILE, anu Tie lake SldteS are WnlIe.
Texas is all blue, and Kansas and
Oklahoma are all yellow.
This map should make an impress
sion upon the federal reserve bank
committee in the matter of selecting
southern city for the establishment
of one of the regional banks. Wash
ington, it is understood, will have one
of the reserve banks, and the Caro-
linas will naturally seek to be con-
nected with that reserve center. The
logical reserve bank city for the south
| is Birmingham. 1t will be distinctly
central point of the group of states
composed of Mississippi, Georgia,
Alabama and Florida.
1t would be difficult to see how the
committee which will make the selec-
tions could decide upon Atlanta if the
Carolinas form part of an eastern
group. AT any rate, Alabamay~ being
one of the few states and the only
southern state where business condi-
lions are indicated by white, will at
tract the attention of capital and
homeseekers as never before.

Mexico and the Red Cross

What the Mexicans, both federal and
rebel, would do without the United
States is hard to see At least those
Mexicans who are in the north. The
north bank of the Rio Grande is al
ways harbor of safety and it is be-
ing more frequently sought every day
by those who are tired of the inces-
SAINT strife.
But the particular reference was to
the conditions surrounding the fight
ing around Ojinaga when HUNDREDS
were killed and thousands wounded
Neither army made any attempt to
efficiently care for it's wounded, de-
pending entirely on the American Rec
Cross to take care of them. Generals
on both sides, knowing that the Rec
Cross always had cared for the wound
ed, did not take trouble to organize {
hospital train to hamper the move
ment of troops, but left the wounded
to shift for themselves as best they
could. Ernest P. Bicknell, nationa
director of the Red Cross, has gone tt
the scene and has taken charge. H,
has issued an appeal for more funds
for the relief of the Mexican wounded
simultaneously appeals are being
sent out from counties in Texas wher,
thousands were driven from theil
homes by the floods and the propert,
damage amounted to millions. 1t doe
seem that the Mexican commander
could have made some effort to carr
for their wounded without imposing
on the Red Gross. The absence of any
eoncern on the part Of the command

When a barrister attans to the dignity
of putting the letters X. c. after his
name he is entitled to war two additional
eurls on his wig to distinguish him from
his brother barristers.
The. wig of an ordinary barrister has
two little longitudinal curls over each ear;
that of a Kings counsel has three rows
over each ear Tt is but seldom that a
barrister is allowed to speak unless he is
wearing his wig and gown

Mo- MAIL. SUNDAY RULE
om the springfieId Republican.


When the first assistant postmaster gem
eial says in his annual report that the
law prohibiting the opening of postof-
fees and the delivery Of mail on Sunday
has added largely to the cost of the
postal service and has materially les
seIed its efficiency" the people of the
country know that ne speaks the truth.
The suggestion is made that it would be
in the interest of both the service and
the employees to amend the law so as to
authorize Sunday work, and grant COM
pensatory time off to employees assigned
to Sunday duty" The existing stua-
ton results in the unavoidable delay of
mail matter and causes a congestion in
the postoffice which IS seriously preju-
dioiai to prompt and safe delivery.
These conditions have been brought
about by the adoption OF the Sunday
fclosing law, and no business man needs
to be told that they viii grow STEADILY
worse as time goes on. The postoffice
is a great public necessity, and will have
to be told that they will grow steadily
like the street cars.

THE MARINE OLYMPIA

From the Chicago Record-Hersld.
One by one the nations of Europe are
wheeling their battleships into line for
the Panama celebration. The latest gov
eminent to accept the Presidents invi-
tation to the gathering at Hampton
Roads is that of France. 1t is confident
ly believed that the French representa-
tives will be ships of the best and latest
types and that a rear admiral, at least,
will command them.
Though the display will be warlike,
there are ways in which the great gath
ering Will doubtless work for peace. 1t
will be a celebration of one of peace s
greatest achievements. The nautical
athletes OF the world will meet for a
cautious and respectful feeling Of one
anothers muscle" And the fraternza-
tion of officers and men will promote a
general esprit de corps that ought not
to be altogether without its influence
OH the pacific ideals now shaping every

ers shows spirit which is terrible.
War carried on under international
regulations is savage game at best,
but as conducted in Mexico is the very
acme of brutality. Before evacuating
a town in northern Mexico the federal
army poisoned the wells. A rebel avia-
tor fell into the hands of the federals
and was shot as spy. Other acts of
outrage have been committed, not only
by the federals but by the rebels as
well. And the worst part of it is that
nothing can be done by civilized ma
precipitating even greater horrors.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Back From New York

DR.. J. H. Phillips. superintendent Of
public schools, returned from New York
a day or so ago and made his first
appearance at the Rotary lunch yester-
day as a newly elected member of the
club.
4 was IN New York to attend a meet
ing of the educational councils COM
mittee of 10 on tests and treatment o.
public school work." said DR.. Phillips
The committee was kept so busy that
its members had no time for sightsee-
ing. The council, which is quite large
body in itself, composed as it is OF
prominent educators to the number oi
120, meets in Richmond in February
The next annual meeting of the ma
tional association viii take place in
st. Paul in July

great as 1t is today. Practical ideas
along educational lines are more and

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE CANAL

From the London Chronicle.
Our ties of kinship and language with
the American people. which are such as
to classify the two countries in a category
of their own, give us fraternal interest
in completing this great American under
taking. AT the present time when the
conal tolls problem remains unsolved and
when thesBnted States has a very thorny
problem to handle in Mexico, it is specially
incumbent on the British government TO
show in a marked manner in it's policy
that warm regard for the United States
which every thinking man in this country
cherishes in his heart.
When we add that next year will be
sgnalled the joint efforts on both sides
of the Atlantic to commemorate 100 years
of peace between two countries the case
for official British representation at San
Francisco becomes overpowering and ire
sistible, yet the cabinet for reasons quito
unfathomable, has decided against rep.
resentation.

Mutterings From the Balkans

1t begins to look as if the cessation
of warfare in the Balkans was only
temporary and that more blood is to
be shed in that part of the world.
From present indications it will not
be long ere Greece and Turkey are at
each others threats again. Turkey is
quietly but Enthusiastically preparing
for another conflict, in which she
hopes to regain the greater part of the
territory which she was forced to re-
linquish.
Turkey has just bought dread
naught on exorbitant terms. Greece
is attempting to float a loan of
81 100000. The Turkish navy is to be
reorganized under English direction.
Enver Bey has been appointed chief
of the army and Germany is keeping
in close touch with the situation. These
events are straws to show the drec-
ton of the wind in the Balkans.
Should another war come Turkey
will face vastly different foes from
those whom she encountered in the
first conflict. The prediction is ven
tured that not within the next century
at least will there again be an accord
between Servia, Bulgaria, Greece and
Montenegro. The last ended disas-
trously for Bulgaria, and certainly not
happily for the other states.
Should the powers not interfere it
would not be such a difficult task for
the Moslem to win back lost territory;
and even if there was an international
mandate given, it would hardly be en-
forced. The powers babe Turkey re-
linquish Adrianople after the second
Balkan war, but Turkey smiled with
oriental blandness and held on.
So it will go. The full fruits Of the
conflict with not be reaped for years.
A war is inevitable in which Bulgaria
will take terrible revenge for the
humiliations forced upon her by
Servia, Roumania and Greece. Mean
while the Sick Man may give consid-
cradle trouble.

Good business Outlook

"The business outlook is very bright
indeed" said S. T. Coleman of Chicago
THE lull in the latter part of 1919
is disappearing. There is greater
feeling of confidence in business cir
eles now than at any time in the past
IL months. In the northern and west
ern cities there Is a general feeling
that new era, of prosperity will set
In this spring, and 1t is believed that
a period of good times will last for
several years. / do not hear of anyone
complaining of hard times. In most
parts of the south there is every rea-
son for optimism. l am told that the
southern farmer is better off today
than at any time in the past few years;
that in Alabama the farmer never was
as well off as he Is now"

Drink and Smoking

There is no doubt about it, said
c. w. Smith, a we'll known caterer
but that this practice of getting on
the water wagon on the first of each
year by so many of those who enjoy
a social glass has a marked effect on
business. OF course the loud thud OF
those who fall off the wagon afore-
said is usually in evidence in Febru-
airy and If my past observation counts
for anything the thuds' in time will
sound like regiment of infantry EN-
gagged in volley firing. This has been
the case every year l have been in
business and the indications point u
same conditions this year. L am In
formed that the dealers in cigars say
the same thing, but my idea is that
the average smoker almost gets cured
of the habit by attempting to smoke
the Christmas cigars, and it takes
him some time to get over the effects

Convention Cities

I'm the south Richmond and Atlanta
have been known in recent years as
the most successful convention cities.
But Birmingham can get all the conven-
tons it wants after it has an adequate
auditorium said I. Y. Rosser of Phila-
delphia
Birmingham is soon to have, magnifi-
cent hotel accommodations. The Tutwiler
and Motion will be completed, I am
told, within the next few months. These,
with the other hotels hcre-some of them
quite goodwill take care of as large a
crowd as usually attends national meet
ings. Birmingham is not only one of the
best advertised cities in the country, but
everyone who pays it a visit speaks well
of it. 1 think birmingham is easily the
most beautiful city in the south from a
residential point of view"

CAUSES OF NERVOUSNESS

From the New York American.
Almost every little or great ailment
throughout your system affects your
nerves. Your eyes and liver and lungs and
stomach and heart and many other things
throughout your system all take 1t OUT
on the poor nerves if they happen to be
bit out of order themselves.
Recent discoveries show that 80 per cent
of nervous troubles are due to other dis
orders. Eye strain is one cause. Not
only those who have to use their eyes
constantly, like students and lapidaries
and miniature artists and engravers. but
city folks who live and work where their
vision is restricted are all sufferers from
nervous troubles, more or less.
The eye wants to get exerciseTas we'll
as the muscles. Living In narrow streets
and gazing/out across little alleys against
brick walls, rushing into narrow cars and
hurrying into small rooms, all keep the
vision down to narrow limits and pretty
soon eye strain sets in. and this brings
on nervous trouble.
And one of the peculiarities of this is
that many people will not notice that
they have eye strain because the nervous
disorders that result will be so much
worse than the cause. Eye strain is
much less common in the country.
Working in a STOPPING position, curving
the spine, brings pressure ON the tiny
blood vessels, and this in turn acts on
the nerves.
u get so nervous sitting STILL" one will
say AS matter of fact, the conditional
pressure on the spine reacts on the nerves.
AS sedentary occupations are more COM
mon to the cities there is more nervous
ness from this cause in cities
Liver troubles bring on quick nervous
disorders; city noises in time affect the
ears and the nerves are again in for n
siege of trouble. Not even at night or
during sleep is there complete quiet in
the city. Women become irritable be-
cause of excessive blood pressure, and
again it is their nerves that suffer-also
every one else about them is apt to suffer.

How?

There is too much political piracy
in Alabama
The Age-Herald does not give a cent
who is elected governor of Alabama,
so long as he is big enough man for
the job, and so long as he is honest,
full of vigor and proposes and will
put the state on financial and educa-
tional basis which will make il the
pride of its neighboring states and of
the country.
Alabama wants her rightful indus
tries, her real railroads and her pure
people protected. But to make flesh
of one and fish of another is, indeed,
queer.
There were lots and lots of politi-
clans and officials and employees in
Montgomery yesterday.
The Age-Herald is not of the politi-
cal guild-but, Jehoshaphat! How was
1t done?

BARRIsTER's WIGS


FROM l1I-BltS. 7i,sf-- -
The long vacation over, barristers and
other officials at the law courts will again
don their wigs, of different sizes and
shapes, according to the position held by
the wearer. feN
The higher the office the bigger the wig.
Doubtless it is from this fact that the
slang term "big- wig" so often applied to
those in authority is derived. -
The shape and construction of. a wig.
the number of curls on it, or the lack of
them, are prescribed by unwritten law.
From the ''full-bottom' dress wig of the
high court judge down to the much. less
imposing headgear of the Junior, the
shane and size of every one of them-and
they vary considerably-show to what po-
sitioh in the law the wearer has attained.
The wig of the high court judge, with
the side flaps falling over the shoulders in
front. and adorned with rows of curis in
plenty, is made of fine hleached horse
hair and costs from els to EGO.
T Judges presiding over lower courts wear
correspondingly shorter wigs, called lin
the legal profession bob wigs" They
reach only to the tops of the ears, have
no side flaps and only two little curls or
either side. These curlss are placed YER
tically. The cost of a'bob wig" is from
e5 to G10. and they are much more COM
Portable to wear than the more imposing
sort of wig.
The wig worn by criminal judge Il
| distinguished from that of the judge OF q
| civil court by a small patch of black hail
set in the top.
| The wigs worn by, barristers contain
less horse hair and are decidedly neate'
booking than those donned by judges

THE DANCING BUsHMAN
From South Africa.

From South AFRICA.
That wonderful Bushman who lived for
several years at Kimberley and resisted
the temptation to learn word of English,
Dutch or amy known South African Ian
guage," while conversing volubly in his
own unknown tongue, is now back from
Paris. Once more he has been put under
the microscope, the stethoscope, the horo-
scope and all the other instruments Of tho
Cambridge Anthropological laboratory.
Professor Duckworth assures us that this
is not only Bushman, but type of
Bushman mrecognized hitherto We sus-
pect, however, that he will go down to
history, or whatever may be his destiny,
as the Little Legpuller. For our Bush
man signalized his reception at Cam
bridge by giving IAN exhibition of danc-
ing to large audience in the new exam
nation hall of the university" With the
tango all the rage, why not establish a
chair of dancing at Cambridge and in
stall this already distinguished South
African?
