Why We shave

"A great many of our customs" said student of history yesterday after noon, had their origin in military circles. For instance, warriors, in old days, when meeting each other with out malice, extended their hands, thus making it plain that no evil intention was harbored. From that custom our custom of shaking hands originated.
 Tt is probable that few people know why it is that we shave. Years ago, no man cut his whiskers, for it was generally believed that they were made to grow for some purpose. and should be tolerated In battle. soldiers, in hand to hand engagements, frequently secured advantages over opponents by grasping their whiskers. Alexander the Great on one occasion, was in a precarious situation. He knew that he must exert his every power, mental and physical, if he would escape and eXtricate his army. The thought came to him that if bis men had no whiskers and the enemy had, his men would have an advantage. So he issued or ders that his soldiers must appear the following morning cleanly shaved. They did so. Alexander's army, chief ly as result of his forethought, was successful.
 Thereafter, all soldiers shaved, and the custom among civilians, too. soon became fixed.n

King and Kaiser

T fear" said J. B. Garber yester- day afternoon, that the war will be long drawn out. The personal ele- ment of hatred is so imbedded in the breast of each participant, that even when exhaustion comes, it will be diff ficult for noncombatants to arrange for peace.
 For instance. l read in The Age Herald some mornings ago of the ex- change of gentle courtesies by the Kaiser of Germany and the King of Belgium. Wilhelm, as is remembered. wrote with his own hand to Albert. saying that unless the latter released his favorite duke who was a prisoner in the city of Antwerp, he would blow up the beautiful capital -AllA
 Albert in his own handwriting re- piled in effect If you attack Brussels II will kill your duke with my own hand
 There is the spirit under the stress of which the European war is being waged. I fear that the struggle will result in the obliteration of one or more nations. At any rate, peace can not be hoped for just yet, unless a stray bullet should cut the life cord of the Emperor of the Germans

have recently sold bonds and are now engaged in good road making Tn business-like way. Road bonds are al ways in demand by investors, and no expenditure results in such satisfac- tory profits as that which goes to im- prove the highways.
 The good roads organizations county, state and national-deserve much credit for arousing interest in highway construction. The Alabama Good Roads association will hold it's eighteenth annual meeting in Mont gomery on October 21-23. The ses- sions are usually we'll attended, and the forthcoming meeting will prob- ably witness an unusually large gath ering. Many men who are to be mem- bers of the legislature have accepted invitations to participate in the meet ings, and most of the probate judges have appointed delegates from their respective counties to attend the con vention.
 The United States Good Roads asso- citation, with which the state organi- zation is affiliated, has done splendid pioneer work throughout this country. The fine macadam highways so com mon in New England, New York and New Jersey and most of the northern states were built as the outcome of the campaign of education conducted years ago by the United States Good Roads association. This organization is now making special business of working up interest in the south. A. E. Ausman, national organizer, has had headquarters in Birmingham for several months past, and he has met with great success in securing for members hundreds of representative citizens. The fee is very small.
 Working on the theory that in vast numbers there is strength, the United States Good Roads association is en- deavoring to have every public spirited citizen in every large community en- roll as member. With the active CO., operation now in evidence the south will make wonderful strides in good roads building within the next five years. In that time this section should be fully abreast of the north.

Who's Your Friends

Judge R. L. Faucett of Prattvin sent his friend, the editor of the Roan oke Leader. the following clipping which the editor, with great pleasure published
 When the Creator had made all the good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poison ous insects, and when He had fn- ished He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattle snake, the hyena the scorpion and the skunk, so He put all these to- gether, covered it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealously, marked it with a yellow streak, and called it knockerl
 This product was so fearful 10 contemplate that He had to make something to counteract it, so he took a sunbeam and put in it the heart of a child, the brain of a man, wrapped these in civic pride, covered it with brotherly love. gave it mask of velvet, grasp of steel and called it booster. made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports. a be- ever since these two were, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates.

MOUNT VERNON AND MoNTrcELLo

From the Washington Post.
 If it Is the desire of Congress to pur- chase Monticello, the home Of Jeffer- son. the opportunity for doing so is now open, through the public spirit of it's owner, Representative Jefferson M Levy of New York. MT. Levy states in a letter to Secretary Bryan that he has been offered $100o,0O0 for the property and that he has expended that sum upon it. He announces that he is willing 10 sell it to the government for $500,000, on condition that it shall be made and main tajned as the occasional nome of Pres idents of the United States.
 Other nations regardful of their historic shrines, and the United States would do well to save the landmarks which are associated with it's early his- tory. That Mount Vernon IS preserved end restored is not due to the govern mont, but to the patriotism and energy of American women. It should os owned and controlled by the United States government, and decent modern highway should connect it with the nse tional capital. The neglect of the gov ernment contrasts most unfavolaby with the dctlon cI ipieiSH governments D1 preserving their memorials and making them accessible to the people.

bales be rolled in front of the troops, who would be sheltered by barricade impervious to rifle fire. If the cotton was set ablaze, he says, the fire could easily be extinguished by little mud or dirt. After the war was over the cotton would still have a considerable value in the market.
 This ingenious gentleman also thinks that if battleships were built with double bottoms and cotton were packed between the inner and outer hulls they could not be sunk by tor pedoes. Even if vessel did sink event. ually, there would still be plenty of time for all members of the crew to escape and perhaps fire a number of parting rounds at the enemy. A bale of cotton thrown into water will not sink for week or ten days, according to this correspondent, so battleshlp with double-hull stuffed with cotton might even be able to Limp into port" after being torpedoed, if the port were near enough.
 By such uses the demand for cotton might be appreciably increased abroad, with a subsequent rise in the price of this commodity, but if the buy-a-bale movement continues popular there will be no need of extraordinary exertions to dispose of the crop. The trustees of the University of Virginia announce that cotton warehouse receipts on basis of 10 cents pound will be re- ceived for tuition at that institution, and number of young men from the cotton growing districts who might have been kept away from college by the unsettled conditions will be able to continue their studies. Women have been requested to show their patriot ism by wearing cotton dresses, corpor- ations as well as private individuals are buying cotton in large quantities and the cotton growers interests are being enthusiastically promoted. Yet when all is said and done the price of cotton will rule very low between now and the end of the year. The crop is of bumper size and even if there had been no war in Europe 10 cents would have been considered a good price.

AIabama's Buried Talent

From the Alabama Courier.
 Alabama has more advantages than most any southern state. We have here living water, fine soil good climate, everything to make this an ideal cattle and hog country. Less cotton and more pasture lands would soon demonstrate to the landowner that 1t was not neces- sary to his peace and comfort to plant all his acreage to cotton. A yearling steer or 9-months fat pig would bring him more profit than bale of cotton. There is always a market for these.

Bankbead's Plan Taking

fI cannot say whether the plan which Senator Banl1head has promulgated to save the farmers of Alabama and the south is practicable or not declared a local member of the legislature yesterday But there is no question but that it is taking with the people. Every day news comes Of telegrams being sent to the gov ernor urging him 10 call the legislature generally signed by all the business men of the towns from which they are sent.
 T doubt very seriously that the gover- nor believes as firmly al $ the senator that the plan will serve the desired ends. I dcubt also that the people who are sign ing the telegrams are positive that the plan is the one plan which should he put into effect. It seems to be that fear is so firmly entrenched in the breasts of all that everybody is ready to grasp at any straw.
 Some days ago I heard a local captain of industry say that he thought the best plan would be for the farmers to sell their cotton, get as much for it as they could, and disharge their obligations just as rapidly as their money would permit. While I would neither advise the farmers to hold or sell cotton, I cannot help be- lieving that there is good reason in the statement of the capitalist"

 He ventureo on all the timely topics of the day and although the senator did not, apparently, enter into the spirit of the conversation very keenly, the tonso- rial artists enthusiasm was not visibly dampened.
 Finally he asked:

About John Gamble

From the Tuscaloosa Times Gazette.
 The Birmingham AgeHerald comes along and almost confirms the rumor that Hon. John Gamble of Troy will be Gov ernor Hendersons private secretary. This paper hopes that the rumor, So persis- tently circulated, will prove to be true. There is no more courtly gentleman in all Alabama than John Gamble. While the writer of this was opposed to Gov ernor Henderson. if John Gamble IS made private secretary he feels that he can walk into the governors office, hang his hat on a peg, put his feet on the tablo and feel perfectly at home.
