PSYCHOLOGISTS NEW SPIRIT

From the Tuscaloosa News.
 The new spirit which animates Tusca- loosa has nowhere been better shown than in the way the merchants who suf- fered from the great fire of Tuesday night
 Twenty-Five, 10, even five years ago, there would have probably been much talk of hard luck and still more delay about settling to work to recover the losses sus- tained. But not so now. Though hit hard by the fire the merchants have got right down to the business of setting things right. Though the ruins have not yet stopped smoking, some of the mer- chants who suffered have secured new storehouses and are attending to busi- ness. And what is more they have or dered new stocks of goods so that they will lose but little time from sharing in the profits of the spring business. Plans too have been announced for new build ings to arise from the ruins of some of the old.
 What better sign of the new spirit of Tuscaloosa could be found than this? It signifies far more than the selection of the city as the site of new industry, for it shows the real character of the place and the people. You can judge an individual largely by his ability to stand reverses, and the same is true of a city. The ac- ton of those who lost by the fire Tues day means that the people of Tuscaloosa have a courageous faith in the town, and that faith Is one of the principal things which builds great cities.

the crisis which drove the over-sen- sitive Casimir-Perier from his brief incumbency of the executive, followed by the climax of the Dreyfuss perse- eution and army scandals. Through all these episodes the republic lived and to all appearances is more solidly es- tablished today than ever. The cleo ton of Grevy without any disorder demonstrated that the majority of Frenchmen were republicans. The triumph of the Dreyfuss cause proved that the civilians were stronger than the army. The result of the Russo Japanese war removed all apprehen- sion as to the effect of Russia's sym pathy or interference in behalf of her Napoleonic proclivities while the elec- tions for the last two decades have in- dicated confidence in, and a grow ing fondness for, a republican form of government upon the part of the masses.
 'Vivi la Republique' represents something more than a shibboleth.

CITY TRAVELLER ON SKIS

FlO1l lIe l>eM 1bTh Sul
 People in Audubon avenue, ir the upper section of the city, were treated to a spectacle on a recent afternoon that New Workers do not have the opportunity of beholding every day.
 Because of the snow vehicular traffic had been largely suspended and the trolley cars were not running. Two modes of travel were available to those who did not care to walk-automobiles and sleighs. These conveyances became so numerous that they soon ceased to attract much at tention, but now and then some persons remarked, That's the only way you can get over the snow today unless you foot it''
 These positive persons were soon ap- prised of the faat there was still another means of travel over the snow. Their at- tention was attracted by man going north on Audubon avenue. Even at distance it was apparent that he was not walking.
 When he drew near it was seen that he was on skis and he was experiencing diff ficulty in making headway. It was hard walking on the skis, and even the grips which he carried in his hands were not assisting him to any extent.
 Pedestrians turned around and stared at the sight. If they had been in Norway they would not have paid attention to the man, but in New York a man on skis is novelty. As one pedestrian ejacu- lated as he gaped at the man. Say. he must be on his way to the north pole" i"

One of the Good Signs

Notwithstanding the large number of houses of various classes built in Birmingham last year there is a de- cided scarcity of dwellings for rent. In fact rental agents say that there never were so few vacant houses here as at the present time.
 It often happens in growing cities that new high record in building is followed by a considerable number of 'for rent" signs; not that there was too much building, perhaps, at least from a far-seeing point of view, but many tenants, in order to improve their living conditions, move out of the old buildings and into the new. In Birmingham the situation is remark able in the fact that the older build ings which are at all habitable are oc- cupied as well as the new.
 Like conditions are reported from Bessemer. There are no vacant houses in that wide-awake and growing com munity. The scarcity of houses points clearly to a rapid increase in the pop ulation. The city of Birmingham is growing at great clip, and so too is the population of the county outside the city.
 The new buildings erected in Bir- mingham in 1913 cost S6,429,736. This was almost double the record of 1912, which was the highest up to that time. The year 1914 has started out well in building activity. There will be un- questionably many handsome build ing improvements and many dwell ings, both large and small, will be built. The scarcity of houses for rent will naturally stimulate the building trades and the value of real estate.

The Pig Iron Situation

''The iron market is waiting" accord- ing to Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati report, just issued Prices have been advanced and iron masters are holding rigidly to the higher quotations Con- sumers are anxious to see whether these advances will be maintained and so they gre holding off. In the meantime iron on old orders is moving forward steadily and the melt of iron seems to be slowly increasing-sh hipments right along have been in fair volume but even in these times when business is not up to the hundred per cent mark the railroads every now and then have to issue em- bargoes to enable them to clear their lines of congested freight.
 "There has been here this week an an- moving embargo. What the railroads are going to do when trade really begins to boom is a question-certainly they are in no shape to handle the much larger business that is anticipated later in the season. There is no doubt but that the great majority of business men favor a liberal policy for the railroads, a policy that will enable them to expand and get policy pursued by the interstate com merce commission towards the railroads keeps the roads and the shippers both in state of continual turmoil It is a policy that certainly is not getting any where--on the contrary, the whole rail- road situation is still fin the air and general business, but particularly iron, is suffering"

THICKER PIE WANTED
the Ohio State Journal.

From the Ohio State Journal.
 A St. Louis paper has started new reform and demands that the mince pie be made an inch thick. We join the reformers and urge that there be regu- lation imposed on the pie-malsing contin- gent to the effect that more space be pro- vided between the crusts for the filling.
 In olden times there were no low-ceiling pies as there are in these degenerate days. Then the ceilings were high, letting in lost of sunlight, joy and glory. One of these little low-ceilng pies, with only a streak of goodness In them, does not re- spond to the unfettered soul. It repre- sents a low and beggared existence, whether it is mince. apple, blackberry or peach; and even if it is pumpkin, it needs the whole inch to itself. We have seen pies half an inch thick, and yet We send thousands of dollars abroad to Chris tianize the heather. Better save a few thousand for home and spend it in con- structing pies with lofty ceilings. High ceilings induce lofty aspirations; and so an inch pie is a. sort of moral reform.
