Improvement. in six Years

"If Birmingham continues to i'm prove in such large way in the next six years as 1t has done In the past six, 1t will be the most talked of city in the United States said Edward " Carlton of Philadelphia.
 'I was here in the early summer of 1908. and remarked the growth of the city since a former visit-in 1901, think; but now Birmingham looks SC much larger and so much handsomer than 1t did in 1908 that it's future can not well be overestimated. The land- scape effects in the residence sections are surprisingly beautiful and the inn provements in the business district inn press me. There are three more sky scrapers now than when l was here the last time. The 25-story building which the Jefferson County Savings bank has recently completed is one of the many indications of Birmingham s solidity and metropolitan character.
 If Birmingham has a population of anything like 1S0O0o today. and that s what the World Almanac credits it with having, it will cross the 300,oo0 mark by the time the next census is taken

An Ancient Pastime

At this season of the year mans thoughts turn to form of sport that is probably as old as the human race and one that is almost universal in it's appeal to the masculine mind. Women, on account of a certain squeamishness in their makeup which renders the batting of hook with worm ob- jectionable to them, do not enter deeply into the joys of angling. Also fishing imposes silence, which may ol may not be another reason why the sport is not cultivated to any great extent by women.
 But the boy, being father to tho man, if one may venture to modify the poets words, goeth forth at z tender age with bent pin to angle ii the nearest brook. With what {; swelling heart he returns home if per chance a>minnow of infinitesmal sig, falls victim to his crude tackle! Ant even at that early period of his ca reer he is disposed to add an inch t. the length of the minnow in relating his exploit to the family. Behol' him later on better equipped an' more in earnest, fishing with SC riousness of purpose and an intens concentration of every faculty tha shows that he will never as long a ! he lives cease to hear the "call, 7 whel spring returns, of rod and line ant stream.

for variety of reasons. It is the sport of the philosopher and the fool, the sluggard and the human dy- namo." A man may be a slave to the sport and care not stiver for the beauties of nature, or he may be a person whose soul expands at the sight of wayside flower. The true fisherman may be almost any kind of man, sedate or gay, studious or un- learned, when in a normal condition, but when engaged in their favorite sport all fishermen seem to look and act alike.
 Of course there are varying degrees of success in fishing, some fishermen being more skillful or more lucky than others, but the only qualification for angling that most men need to have is the ability to consume unlimited quantities of tobacco. The bottle may not be necessary concomitant of fishing trip, but where is the fisher man who can enter into the true spirit of the occasion without his pipe?

Boxing a Favorite With Monarchs

King George of England is in quiet way doing much to negative the influence of the crusade which is at present being conducted in his king dom against the sport of boxing. His majesty has engaged boxing instruc- tor for his son and while he does not question the sincerity and earnestness of the opponents of the glove art he deems them misguided in their eff l forts and ignorant of the real char acter of the sport.
 George comes by these predelic- tions honestly as all of his royal pre- decessors bearing the name of George were devoted to boxing. In fact, sparring contests were made by them features of court functions in the entertainment of royal guests and when the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia were the guests of Eigland in 1874, just century ago, George III entertained them with a boxing match and the distinguished spectators expressed themselves not only highly entertained but amazed at the science and excellent physical training and development of the men in the ring.
 Victoria considered pugilism as a brutal sport and tabooed boxing in a great measure, but the then Prince of Wales lent all of his influence in fa- yor of it and when he became King revived and enthusiastically fostered the art. He secured the repeal of a law which had been passed in Vic toria's reign prohibiting railroads from carrying passengers en route to prize fights and he patronized the recodification of the Marquis of Queensbury rules governing the con- duct of the glove fight.
 Jack Johnson today holds the cham pionship in the ring and at the close of the eighteenth century John John- son, an Englishman, was the cham pion prize fighter of the world. He gave Byron, the poet, lessons in box ing and opened a gymnasium for stu dents, practice which has since been frequently followed by retired cham pions of the ring.
