Now Is Time to Build

The best time for building opera tions, or improvement work of any kind, from an economic point of view, is at a period like this when there is a Hull in construction enter prise.
 According to all indications an era of exceptional prosperity will begin with the new year. Business activity will prevail in every part of the coun- try and as for Birmingham there is promise of very high record in the districts industrial life. But now there is much unemployed labor, and this condition will continue to exist until January at least.
 True, the last week of November will find fewer idle men than were here in the early part of the month, but large numbers of mechanics and common laborers will have to wait several weeks before they will be in demand. That being so, business con- cerns and individuals who are plan ming to build in the near future would do the community great good if they would strain a point here and there and build now.
 The city and the county authorities should be able to do something to af- ford employment to the men now without wages. There is a certain class of improvement work in a city as large as Birmingham always in order. Help in this direction now will be more appreciated than it would be a month or two later.

capped back to their own lines. their work completed
 Such incidents as this are typical of many aerial engagements. Nor does daredevil aerial bravery begin and end with the aeroplane men. The crews of the Zeppelins and of the dirigible bal looms of the allies are also called upon for exhibitions of reckless courage. While patrolling the French coast to see that the way was clear for the landing of British expeditionary force, one of the English dirigibles was dis abled by the breaking of a propeller blade. Two members of the crew vol unteered to undertake the hazardous feat of putting on a new blade without descending. While the dirigible foated 2000 feet in air these men climbed out on the slender framework, unfastened the broken propeller and dropped if into the sea, and put the new one in place without mishap.

Value of n Record

illustrative of the far-reaching benefit or the moving record kept by Mrs. M F. Leake, secretary of the Retail Furni- lure Dealers association, for the associa- ton, is story she told yesterday of a negro drayman who received the work of transporting the furniture of a citizen who was changing his place of residence
 The negro, it seems, had orders to de- liver one load of furniture at the Harris transfer company and second load at the home of brother of the man who was paying for the dray. The first load was received in good shape, but the broth- CT refused to accept the second. The negro did not know what to do. He couldn't unload the furniture, so he kept IL that night The next morning he vis- ited police headquarters with the furni- ture and wanted to know what to do with 1t.
 He was told by the police sergeant in charge to take it to Mrs. Leake's office in the Clarke building, The negro did so. and Mrs. Leake referred to her record and immediately located the person to whom the furniture belonged.
 The old darkey was very happy. for he wanted Ito use dat dray for more haul ing"

Should Mothers Teach?

New York cartoonists have recently found inspiration for some effective cartoons in the agitation caused by the New York city board of education in discharging a woman school teach CT who had become mother. The League for Civil Service for Women has esnoused the cause of women school teachers in New York who nave been dropped by the school board II the state commissioner of education is unable to grant relief bill will be introduced at the next session of the state legislature making it misde- meanor for an employer to refuse em- ployment on account of marriage or parenthood.
 It seems that the principal reason advanced by the board of education Tor discharging teacher-mothers was the fact that parenthood kept them for considerable time from their duties in the schoolroom and presumably inter- fered to a certain extent with their work during the infancy of their chil dren. Hardly any father or mother would object to entrusting their chil- dren to a teacher with children of her own, and many parents would prefer mother-teachers, on the ground that such teachers are better able to un- derstand and sympathize with children than those who have never been moth- CTS. It looks like an unjust discrimi- nation on the part of the New York board of education to discharge a teacher simply because she becomes mother, but on the other hand ire quent visits of the stork would entail a great deal of time lost from the schoolroom.
 In whatever way it may be consid- cred, the problem is lively one just now in New York. It is responsible for the prase 'penalizing motherhood" which excitable individuals of both sexes have seized upon with avidity. It is pointed out that married women make efficient teachers. Public senti- ment seems to be with the teacher mothers overwhelmingly.

Pioneers in American Humor

The death of Robert J. Burdette re- calls the pioneer humorists of this country, with which he was strongly linked. He was old enough to have known and appreciated Artemus Ward, whose sly humor was irresistible. All the humorists who became popular after Artemus Wards day had their inspiration in his gentle philosophy and good natured jibes. Mark Twain's humor was closely akin to that of Artemus Ward, and one or two of his most frequently quoted witticisms were paraphrases of his famous fore runner.
 N Burdette, while he was of the Arte- flus Ward type, was distinctly origi- nal. Had he written only his lecture entitled "The Rise and Fall of the Moustache," he would have been en- titled to place in the history of American humor. Burdette delivered that lecture in all the large towns of the country, and those who had the privilege of hearing it recall it for its fine touches of wisdom as well az its mirth provoking qualities.
 All real humorists are deeply human and broad in their sympathies. Such men have made the. world better and their memories will be kept green.
 Bob Burdette, like most of his con- freres-Artemus Ward, Mark Twain, Josh Billings, Bill Nye, the Danbury News Man, Max Adler and M. Quad better known as the Detroit Free Press Man, who by the way, is still living and working grew up in an

obscure newspaper office and made his first hit as a paragrapher. It was on the Burlington, Ia., Hawkeye that Burdette began to attract attention. In 1887, after he had been success ful lecturer for several years, he took up the ministry, and in 1903 became pastor of Temple Baptist church of Los Angeles. He turned out to be a good preacher. Young men were par ticularly drawn to him, and while his sermons were serious and earnest there was in them trace of his old time humor.
 The modern world is certainly all the brighter for men like Burdette having lived in it.

DEATHS IN A SII.O

From the Journal of the American Med-
 ical Association.
 A recent fatal accident in Ohio calls at- tention to danger to farms which cannot be too widely circulated. Since 1875. when the first American silo was built by pr. Manley Miles, this method of preserving forage for live stock has been generally adopted. Although the department of agriculture has frequently called attention to tho danger of carbon dioxid gas accum- ulating in silos under certain conditions. no fatalities have been reported hereto fore. On the morning of September 19, four workmen on the farm of the Athens (O) state hospital. ascended the ladder on the outside of & silo to an open door about 12 feet from the top and jumped down one after another onto the silage, the top of which was about feet below the door. About five minutes after, two other workmen. following them, found them unconscious. Although large force of workmen were immediately summoned and the bodies of the four men removed at once through a lower door, the physi- clans of the hospital who were at once on the ground were unable to resuscitate any of the four men. Evidently the carbon dioxid gas had accumulated during the night. filling the silo up to the level of the door and forming layer of carbon dioxid gas six feet deep. Such accidents might easily be repeated on any modern farm. Agriculture journals should call the attention of the farmers to this dan ger and should urge that silos be care- fully ventilated before being entered.

City's Need of New Postoffice

The Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations will cooper ate earnestly with United States Sen ator Frank s. White in an effort to have the government start to work without delay on the new postoffice building for Birmingham.
 While the public has known that the need of new building was urgent the discussion at Thursday afternoons Chamber of Commerce meeting en- phasized this need. It was decided that all possible data likely to prove con- vincing to the supervising architect in Washington should be collected at once.
 But the government should not re- ouire all this stir and effort on Bir- mingham's part. When Congressman Underwood secured the appropriations for the site and the building he pre- sented the main facts. He not only showed that Birmingham had been in need of new postoffice for some time, but that its great future would amply justify the government in erecting a $1,000,000 structure. The reason given for the delay in starting the work on the edifice is the over crowded condition of the chief archi- tect's office.
 In years gone by when appropria- tions were made for postoffice build ings in large cities architects plans were perfected in a reasonably short space of time and the work of con- struction was forthwith begun. But those were the days when the gov ernment owned buildings only in large cities. In the small cities Uncle Sam rented buildings in which to house postoffices. Later on it was consid- cred economy on the part of the gov ernment to build, and now there is scarcely town of four or five thou sand population that has not a gov ernment owned postoffice building or that is not on the way to have one.
 Recent appropriations account in a measure, no doubt, for the congested condition of the architects depart ment. But it is safe to assume that there is not city of any consequence in this country that is in such press- ing need of new postoffice as Bir- ! mingham. A glance at the situation should be enough to satisfy any post office official from the department at Washington that Birmingham should receive speedy attention. Still, Sena- tor White and Senator-elect Under wood and others understand the press ing difficulties in expediting the work on the projected postoffice building, and the Chamber of Com merce, in undertaking to get up new data, will do it's work with promt- ness and completeness.

The Leo Frank Case

The Age-Herald reproduces today from the Baltimore Sun story of the Leo Frank case in Atlanta written by one of the Suns staff correspondents.
 This is apparently the first abso- lutely unbiased and correct story writ ten of this now famous case. Its pub lication should have an important bearing on public sentiment and should show that racial feeling ought not to play any further part in the ul- innate outcome.
