Pathological Schools

An admirable committee has been appointed by President P G. Shook of the Chamber of Commerce to con- slider the question of establishing a technological school here. The men composing that committee are well known for their public spirit and their upbuilding achievements, and they will probably be able to evolve feas- ible plan.
 In the nature of things Birmingham is the city of all others in the south that should have an institution where applied science is taught and some day such school will be in operation, but all technological institutions that now flourish in this country have re- quired great deal of money both in the building and in the maintenance. Whatever Birmingham does along the line of technical education should be of the best. It may be that the 1 committee can induce the authorities of the University of Alabama to es- tablish branch of its engineering school in Birmingham as a nucleus, but whatever is done in the way of starting technical school work large and handsome building will be neces- sary.
 The committee is right in taking time to look over the situation and mature plans. It may be some months before report is ready, but it will be better to take year or more rather than propose plan that would not meet with general approval.

New Way to See Movies

The proprietor of moving picture theatre in Bayonne, N. J., has hit upon a unique scheme for reducing a city's fly population. If his plan were tried by the manager of every other moving picture theatre in the country millions of flies would meet sudden death and desultory swatting would be changed into a grim determination to let none escape.
 As the story goes, this theatre man. ager was so angered when flies drove him away from food he had ordered in a restaurant that he declared war on the pest. He announced that on cer- tain afternoon every child who brought fifty dead flies to his theatre would be given free admission to the picture show as reward. The news travelled fast. Great was the rejoic- ing in juvenile hearts and terrific was the slaughter of flies. At 1 o'clock on the day specified 1000 children were assembled in front of the theatre and extra policemen were called to keep them in line. In all 1900 children were admitted free The number of flies killed is problematical because some youngsters in their enthusiasm brought many more than the required 50. One boy brought 700 flies, accord ing to his own count, Tn big stone jar. He gave a theatre party and took along four guests.
 Congratulations to this theatre man. ager for having evolved and put into practice a bright idea and felicitations to the industrious youngsters who killed the flies. To be able to pay for a whole afternoon at moving pie ture show with handful of flies seems almost too good to be true Other moving picture managers should institute "fly afternoons" for the benefit of the children and the fly hating public. They would greatly en- nance their popularity with old and young, would derive great deal of free advertising for their theatres and would encourage the commendable practice of swatting the fly.

Austria's Declaration of War

The hope that Austria Hungary and Servia would be able to settle their quarrel without war quickly van- ished. The dual monarchy has de- clared war, and it is now only a ques- tion of how much fighting will be thought necessary to satisfy the bel ligerents.
 All the great powers may become involved before the war is over, but strong influences will be brought to bear to prevent such a dire calamity. Austria -Hungary's regular army con- sists of about 360,000 men. Servia s regular army on peace footing is only 35,000 officers and men, but the Serfs liable for military duty num- Der several hundred thousand. Servia will put large army in the field, and while it is little country, every man of it's population is fighter. In Austrla-Hungary there IS lack of cohesiveness that renders it, com paratively speaking, very weak military power.
 Russia would pitch in to fight with Servia if it were in state of pre- paredness. If Russia should join Servia, it would have Germany to whip, and it is well known that Ger many is better prepared for war than any other nation in Europe.
 There will be able diplomats who will endeavor to work out mediation plans. The war between Austria and Servia may be soon over, and then again it may be long drawn out; and now that war has been declared, the world will be impatient for hostilities to begin on the principle that the sooner begun, t.'e sooner ended.

"DODINE DE CANARD"
London Correspondence in New Yorl m,

London Correspondence in New York
 American.
 A dinner of the "Dodineurs," or Duck Worshipers." took place at the Cafe Monico, Piccadilly. the other night It was given to celebrate the discovery by M. Thomas Gringoire. the poet-pres- ident of the "Ligue de Gourmets," of the famous recipe known as the "dodine de canard," invented by the chef to Louis x, King of France, just TOO years ago. The delicacy occupied the place of honor in the menu.
 The discovery of the "dodine' is all most as great an event to the gour- mand as any Egyptian papyrus is to an archaeologist. The dish. in It's day. was famous. Monarchs and great nobles reveled in it. Unfortunately, the chef administered an overdose of cayenne to his royal master and the recipe was lost.
 NJ. Gringoire, rummaging the other day among musty relics in the British Museum. came across 1t by the merest accident. The tender duckling was boiled in old wine of Suresnes, favored with rare cognac. Next it was steeped in the fragrance of shallots, cooled and blended with the delicate savor of truf- fles and mushrooms. "Dodine de ca- nard' is likely to become the dish of lmillionaires and state banquets.

Madam Caillaux Acquitted

Madam Henriette Caillaux, whose trial for the murder of Editor Gaston Calmette has stirred France for a week or more, was acquitted yester- day.
 The verdict was as expected. Madam Caillaux was bold in taking s!,e. life of Calmette and among the motives alleged was her desire to pro- tect her husband and to protect her own honor from damaging publica- tions. The Figaro had already pub lished attacks on M Caillaux, for mer premier, and many sensational ar ticles were yet to come. The trial at tracted worldwide attention, and the scenes in the courtroom were both comic and dramatic.
 In many murder trials the defend ant promptly puts in plea of insan- ity. But Madam Caillaux was not in sane and did not pretend to be. The Paris papers in their paragraphic sketches spoke of the shadow of the guillotine falling upon Madam Gail laux, but such expressions were only figures of speech, for it was felt from the start that the verdict of the jury would be for acquittal.
 The Parisians have reveled in the thrills which the Caillaux case produced and now that the trial is over the gay French capital would seem very tame but for the war scare. Excitement in Paris rose so high Monday night over the possibility of war between the great powers that fights occurred in the streets, hats were crushed and canes broken. The French people are mentally we'll balanced and progress dive. but they are easily thrown into

WHEN A KISS IS UNLAWFUL

From the Argonaut.
 The boundary line between lawful and unlawful kissing is laid down by the i'm perlal court at Leipsic, Germany: "A kiss IS an operation on the body of another which always requires the permission of the person killed, Kisses may only be given without special permission when the tacit consent of the other is certain-that t is to say. in the case of close relatives, parents. children and lovers. If, on the other hand, the other not merely affects coyLess. but offers serious resistance. it is to be assumed that the kiss Is regarded as an illegal interference with personal rights and impairment of honor. Who- ever, under such circumstances, imposes kiss on another renders himself, there fore, guilty of an insult by the act. For the fulfillment of these conditions it suf- fees that the kiss is given against the will of the other. It Is not necessary that he himself feels the kiss to be insult irg."
 Commenting on the German ruling. Law Notes refers to decision by the highest court of Texas in Fuller vs. state in which the court held that if man mere- ly puckered up his lips at a woman and sms cked them without showing intent to Hiss her against her wishes he was not guilty of an assault although it may have been improper for him to suggest tlat he would like to kiss her. The rec ord shows that after the defendant had repeated his osculatory demonstrations the woman said: ''If that is the best you Notes says: Here lies plausible ex- piaration for the defendants being haled to court May not the prosecutrx have beer aetuated by pique and resentment over the extraordinary ineptitude of the defendant in the premises?'

AN EXTRAyAGANT NATION

From the Boston Herald.
 The recentlyformed American Society for Thrift, which is to hold an interna- tional congress at San Francisco next year. has made aStabulation of the annual cost of the alleged extravagances of the American people, Automobiles, according to this authority, cost $600 100000 a year, or little less than twice as much as ci- gars and tobacco, which are set at s35O,- 100000. Intoxicating drink scost $1.7O0 O00,- 000, and soft drinks, such as those sold from soda fountains, at one-fifth as much, or s325, 100000. Chewing gum costs $25 0O0,- GOO, and confectionery $s7,0O0,OO0. Thea tres, including moving pictures and sim liar entertainments, are rated at s6OO, ,OO0,- GOO, while the "extravagance" in hotels, restaurants. tango teas, etc., or that sum more than necessary for comfortable sub sistence, is rated at $4OO, ,0O0, 900. This makes total of more than $4,OOO, 900, ,OOO And this amounts to $40 per capita, $2OO per family, or one-fifth the total expendi- ture of the American people for all pur- poses.
