Active Business Predicted

The effects of the blizzard which swept over the north in February are still felt. The winter just past was unusually open in most parts of the country; but rough, cold weather came at last, and traffic was seriously blocked The railroads and telegraph companies suffered great loss, and the ice and snow are yet seen in many states.
 While the snow was of great bene- fit to farm lands and to the winter wheat it interfered not a little with general trade. Recent dullness in the commercial world has been attributed largely to the severe weather. But we are now well into the first spring month. True, March is the beginning of the spring season only in the cal endar. In this part of the south the farmers are busy, and farther south planting has begun. But for the coun- try at large real spring comes with April, and there is every reason to believe that general trade will then become brisk. There are many req sons to justify the prediction of bound ing prosperity between now and mid summer. Certain it is that if the crop reports in June are favorable there will be a high degree of pros perity from the Atlantic to the Pa cific and from the lakes to the gulf.
 In the Birmingham district the coal trade is now improving and the iron market has an upward tendency. It is quite probable that the price will advance appreciably within the next two or three weeks. The general bus mess outlook here is unquestionably bright; and if 1914 does not turn out to be by far the districts best year, 1t will be a remarkably good year.

On With the Dance

Ever since the days that Malthus wrote his celebrated work on popula. tion the world has been busy figuring when this old earth will be filled so repletion with human beings and what will become of mankind when such a condition obtains
 1t has been estimated that the maxi mum population will be reached when the number of human beings approxi. mates six billions, as the world will not be able to support a greater num- Der. This is based upon the assump. tion that the fertile regions can only hourish POT persons to the square mile and the less hospitable areas IA inhab- itants in the same space. Figuring ypon the present mean rate increase which is 8 per cent for each decade, the maximum population will be

Larre Fertilizer Shipments

"rhe fertilizer trade is extremely brisk now" said a railroad traffic of ficial.
 Tt used to be that the fertilizer movement began in December and was large throughout January and Febru- ary. Now the great rush is in Febru- ary and March. The farmers having prospered greatly last year will strive to make new high record crops this year. More corn will be planted in Alabama than ever before and with the aid of fertilizer bumper crop will be made, weather permitting.
 The steady agricultural progress noted in Alabama is due in a large measure to the intelligent use of fer tilizer. Years ago a good deal of guano was used, but for obvious reasons the chemically manufactured fertilizer is far better and far more economical than the old-time natural fertilizer. Chemistry has done wonders for agri- culture and within the next few years enterprising farmers of the south will be rolling in wealth"

Regarding Information

Nearly everybody reads the newspa- pers nowadays" said a member of the Birmingham Public Library board yes terday, and yet there are many of them who know little about things they read For instance, the Industrial Workers of the World, commonly called by the in itials, I. W. w., is now much in the rub1ic print. Stories about it are on the flrst page, almost every day. What is it? How many Birmingham newspaper eaders know?
 That's where the service of the public library comes in. If the I. w. w. or ganization is of enough importance to send telegraph stories 60 every daily in the country about it, everybody ought to know something about it. Does it rep resent anarchy or syndicalism or some thing different from either? On what theory do the members of this organiza- ton go when they break into the New York churches and demand shelter?
 You can answer these questions and satisfy yourself as to the merits or lack of merits of the l. w w, if you will read some of the books and articles on this subject in the public library. Amer fcan Syndicalism and the l. w. w. by John Graham Brooks is the one book de- voted exclusively to this subject. Another In which the l. w. w. receives much consideration is John Spargo's 'Syndical- ism, Industrial Unionism and Socialism. There are also dozens of instructive arti- eles in the magazines"

In Readiness for Fashion Week

For several years Birmingham has been known as an uncommoniy at' tractive shopping center. In the stores are always found large and varied stocks. Few cities, indeed, of 20O,00C popualtion are up to the Birmingham class.
 Thousands of shoppers come to thls city from all parts of Alabama, and not a few from Mississippi. The mer- chants displays are beautiful at all seasons of the year; but an extraor- dinary effort is being made to have next week surpass in shopping inter- est all the weeks that have gone be- fore. It will be Fashion Week. The business streets are being artistically decorated. The stores will be gay with color, and in most of them the air will be laden with the perfume of flowers. Monday will be great gala day in Birmingham, and the entire week will be a gala week.
 The streets and shopping places will be crowded, and the scene will sug- gest carnival time. It is needless to say that out-of town shoppers will be cordially welcomed. They will be here in great numbers throughout the u-aat

reached in the year 2072, so that we
 have just 15S years yet before the condition of congestion confronts us.
 Sir John Herschel once announced that the descendants from just two persons who lived 5000 years ago, would, barring any but natural deaths, if living today standing shoulder to shoulder and upon each others heads cover the earth and sea and extend a hundred times beyond the orbit of the planet Neptune.
 But we are not doing that and it has been declared that the entire pres ent population of the world could find standing room within the District of Columbia and still not touch each other
 Improved surgery, increased medi- cal knowledge and philanthropy have undoubtedly added to the rapid in crease of population, but when such relatively small localities as London and New York accommodate human being by the millions the day of over crowding is sufficiently remote to quiet apprehension, and while the question of the capacity of the earth for feeding it's increased population may be one of serious consideration, it will be many centuries ere people will be called upon to wrestle with the gruesome problem.
 We may all snooze soundly and not worry about even lack of space in which to dance the tango or scarcity of food to supply banquets at dollar a plate.

Unique Features of Female Suffrage

oHiqut cituTeS O1 TcWdlc suffrage
 The woman's suffrage movement, which so far is best studied in Illinois, has evolved many phenomenal fea- lures, some of which are of undenia : ble benefit, and others which are de- cidedly questionable.
 One of these is the devotion of Sun- day afternoons to political gatherings a practice which is quite common ir Europe among the laboring classes and social workers, but which had been practically unknown in this country until the advent of the female voter
 In Chicago temporary day nurseries have been established at the city the atres and the women are demanding that certain seats in the public parks be reserved exclusively for their own sex and children.
 They also are clamoring for law prohibiting the display of firearms, daggers and deadly weapons in the shop windows for sale, claiming that such an exhibition augments the de- sire to purchase and use same. This move is being duplicated by the mems party, who insist that extravaganza should be curbed and not excited by public window displays of new milli- pery, spring dress goods and the latest productions of the manufactur- CTS of costly shoes and stockings. The mems party has reversed the old adage and asserts that what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose.
 Another feature of changed condi- tions is the manner in which women resist arrest. Instead of respecting the majesty of the law and the func- tions of it's minions as men do and going peacefully along with the police officers, they resort to sitting down on the sidewalks and when the patrol men attempt to lift them up the "cops" are accused of extreme" brutality. The situation has placed Mayor Harrison in pickle" and he is now taking dose of his own medi- cine.
 One thing is certain-if the women persist in violating the law they can no longer rely upon their sex and male gallantry to screen them, and having assumed mans status must consent to bear his burdens and submit to his environment.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Medical science has made great strides. But there wasn't so much pneumonia in the old days when a fellow had to wear a flannel rag until he lost it in bed
 The old-fa shioned woman who used to go around the house with a baby in her arms and three kids tugging at her skirts now has a daughter who has to hire 8 maid to give Fido his daily exercise.
 In this life each man gets only as much happiness as he makes himself And to make happiness for yourself you must make others happy.
 The reason woman's straw hat isn't fashionable on q warm day in October is because it is fashionable on cold day in March.
 You will never be able to make one-half the world realize that it is none of it's doggone business how the other half lives.
 When father loafs he loafs all over. But when mother loafs she is mending or sewing on something.
 The world is growing better. The crowns of the derby hats are being re- vised upward.

UNDERWOOD COMPLIMENTED

From the Houston Post
 fold charges which certain radicals ir Alabama have made against Represents tive Underwood. MT. Hobson. Under woods opponent for the United States senate, has bawled it all over Alabama that Underwood was not progressive, ' that the tariff law was in spots contrary to the administrations demands, and that the author of the law was not in sympa- thy with the main purposes of the admin istration.
 In this furtive way it was hoped to in- 1uence democrats in Alabama to vote against Underwood upon the ground that he is 'reactionary"' or something else that Wilson could not tolerate.
 Monday night the President answered all this tommyrot by having MT. and Mrs Underwood at dinner as. guests of honor.
 Naturally, the President could not be drawn into a factional contest in Ala hama. It would have been impolitic for him to write or say anything affecting that contest, put he aValled hlInSelf or the certain though delicate method of exhibiting his high regard for Mir Under wood, his confidence in him and his ap- preciation of his services by making him an honor guest at a White House dinner. The President is not going to give a dinner in honor of Hobson, because that noisy agitator has done nothing to deserve recognition of this character He has taken no active part in the formulation or enactment of any administration meas ure He has been absent from his duties most of the time since MT. Wilson came into office and has drawn the public money without rendering the public any service worth mentioning
 It was a merited compliment that the President bestowed upon Mir. Underwood, and it was an important compliment, timed, no doubt, to inform the people of Alabama of the Presidents sympathy with Mr Underwood's candidacy, and his profound conviction that Underwood would be an aid to the administration in the Senate.

"AMERICAN. ATHLETES

From the New York Evening Post.
 How may the successive American vic- tories over our British kihsmen, who have heretofore been deemed the lords of sport, be explained? as a race we have been so variously described as ab- sorbed only in business, as lacking in the virility of our fathers, as having our dogged Anglo-Saxon virtues lessened or corrupted by the infitration of other peoples, or losing our never-say-die spirit in the melting pot of races which we keep ever boiling, that it is some thing of a surprise to find that we had been led to believe? Is 1t not, perhaps, exactly the cosmopolitan character of sible? The name of the new champion, with his French-Canadiap ancestry. sug- gests it. But before this we have had Films, Indians and negroes among our best runners and football players; far California has taken all our tennis hon. ors; Kivia, the Slav, is our greatest mile runner; Hjersberg, the Swede, and kra- enlein, the Pennsylvania "Dutchman,
 were among our best all round athletes, as was Thorpe, the Indian, and Kahona, moka, the Hawaiian, holds our swim ming records If we turn to professional baseball what do we find? Almaida, the Cuban baseman; Hans Wagner at short stop, Iajoie on second base, Marquard, the French pitcher, and Zimmerman, the third baseman-what a team these immi- grants would make if they all played to- gether! Surely we have the most wonder full natural resources in human beings from which to draw our athletes. What would be more natural than to find that had been added an unusual versatility and adaptability? Or to put it another way. do we not take this foreign material with all its natural talent and inject into
 1t what the crowd calls our American ''punch?" Something of the freedom, vitality and dash of our vigorous young nationality certainly gets into these ath- letes, whether their names be pronounce able by Americans or not
 Of one thing we may be sure-there is no ingredient in our melting pot that so readily transforms our untamed young foreigners into hopeful Americans as this same craze for athletics. which in its ex- cesses we must all deplore.. We had had essays on every side of baseball save on this; some day sociologist will, per- haps, help us to understand just how far the national sport has contributed to the making of Americans. How many boys are there in this city alone whose medium of communication is still chiefly Ytddtsh or Italian, who yet know all about the Reds, and the Browns, the Cal dinals and the Yankees? Their ruling desire is to rank as Americans as soon as possible: what easier than the way of the ball field? If there is in each of them the possibility of useful-yes, noble citizenship why not as well the possibility of the tn1ent of a Kolehmainen or . Iianu

DISCRIMINATING CHILD
m Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 The late Maurice Barrymore was the idol of the lambs during his lifetime and even now the members of that clut take delight in citing instances of his ready sympathy or sprightly wit.
 One day, so the story goes, Barrymore was swinging down Fifth avenue when Sidney Rosenfeld, the playwright. rushed up to him, all excitement.
 "oh, Matrices he walled, "have you heard of my misfortune?"
 No" Barrymore sympathized; lis there illness in your family?'
 Not that" said Rosenfeld, ''but almost as bad. My little boy years of age, got hold of my new play and tore it to tat ters.'
 T didn't know the child could read. '' said Barrymore-and continued his walk

WHAT DIR. HILLS FEARS

WHAT DR. HILLS FEARS From Puck.
 The Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight IIillis is by no means an optimist when it comes to forecasting the future of America. "1n three generations" he fears, this coun- try will be in the hands of men and to lie awake and toss restlessly. The world and human progress have both been in business too long to bother much about names Britons were pessimistic when Saxon names got toe-hold in Eng land England was fin the hands of for eigners.' After 8 while Saxons felt the same way, only worse, when Norman names became plentiful, Nobody worries about it now, except few who try to prove their right to these same ancient names. As for America. Powhatan con sdered John Smith an extensively foreign name, and prepared to treat the owner of it with scant courtesy. In the revolution ary war, Lafayette, Pulaski, Steuben and kosciusko were decidedly foreign names. but we call streets by those names now. and no not deem them un-American. Irish and German names used to be reck- oned foreign, but they are no longer so considered Flynn and Rooney are pretty fair American names; so are Schmidt and Meyer. Goethals, if We mistake not. IS foreign name, yet Americans are rather proud of it just now, even boast ful. Suppose, in three generations, this country is in the hands of men and wom- en with foreign names-what of it? It is now. Ask gRain-in-the-Face. the Indian. if it isn't
