TROUBADOUR AND JESTER
MY LITTLE GIRL

MY LITTLE GIRL My little girl with flutt'ring heart creeps nestling to my bosom, And trembles, as before the wind, The fragile, spring time blossom. As some poor bird whose homeward
 wing
 The cruel shot has riven, She rests at last, dear frightened child, And asks to be forgiven. o, precious one, could you but know How void life is without thee; How dull it's sunshine and it's fields. You neer again would doubt me. Then dear girl, let my bosom be Henceforth thy home and heaven; The bitter past we'll both forget, Forgiving and forgiven.

More Than Multiplication"

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. ."-Hebrews 1925.
 There are some things which have run through humanity since the morn- ing, and will until the evening. This coming together in congregations is one of them.
 Men have always assembled them selves for purposes of worship and war and celebration. Now every busi- ness and movement has it's conven- tions. The universal law is widening it's application.
 Men will always worship; and it is written in the blood that they shall worship together. There is the secret worship, of course, but also the social. Both have been, and are, and shall be. The man who worships only in the woods, or on golf courses, or along country roads, will sooner or later feel selfish or needy in his absence from the hurrying feet and the multitudin- ous voices of praise. The blood of us will have it's say.
 In all relationships there is cer- tain satisfaction, nay a necessary food, that comes from touching oui fallouc In hucinacs and so np il,a wise in religion.

government regulation under tfe law, I look for a great work to be done by the Steel corporation here.
 It is generally known that this concern has great future developments planned for this district, which are only delayed pending litigation with the government. It will be indeed a great thing for the Birmingham district when these matters are settled and the big contemplated de- veopments begin.

Certainly the city can furnish the water if the street railway companies will furnish and operate the motor car sprinklers.

Mel Talks of Underwood Sentiment

'"rhe Underwood movement seems to become more popular every day" said R. E. L. Niei, assistant chairman of the Underwood state campaign committee, who has just returned from a visit to Montgomery.
 While in Montgomery I attended a merchants convention. and there were men assembled from all parts of the state, many to be present at the convention, many more, I believe, to witness the trial of Theo. Lacy. Of course there were men of all parties and Tor all candidates, but if I am any judge of men and af- fairs, Underwood sentiment predominates by a strong majority. Most every one with whom l came in touch was loud in his praise of Alabama's S great statesman and steadfast in assertions that Oscar Underwood would sweep any district fin which he happened to be located.
 However. loyal Underwood men are taking nothing for granted, and no stone is being left unturned in the effort to make Underwoods ma jority overwhelm- ing and decisive. It seems to me that the only thing to be discouraged among Underwood workers is over-confidence, Us this would breed neglect of campaign interest,"

Good Demand for Alabama Iron


 The iron market continues firm, and there are indications in evidence pointing to a decided rise in price levels within the next 60 days" said J. W. Porter, as- sistant treasurer and sales manager of the Alabama company, successor to the Alabama. Coal and Iron company.
 "Indeed, the Clifton brand of iron, which is produced by the Alabama company, has not suffered much even when market levels for other grades of iron were at lowest ebb. This high grade of iron is in heavy demand in many of the northern cities. One of our Ironaton furnaces is engaged exclusively In the manufacture of this iron. The high analysis of the Cliff ton produce makes 1t readily available for radiator manufacture. However, any rise in the iron market cannot help but bene- fit furnace men as a whole throughout the south The Birmingham district, espe- cially, will welcome any advance in the price of iron and steel"

Alabama Railway Improvement

II
 "The people of this state probably do outlay by the railroads for double-tracking and betterments," said man who keeps In touch with industrial life.
 'The extensive double tracking under takings of the Louisville and Nashville have thrown a steady stream of money into this state for many months. The Tidewater has been spending money and quietly working out it's extensions, which expect ultimately to see embrace an ex- tensive system of electric lines extending from Birmingham through Tuscaloosa, as already under way, and also into the black belt via Greensboro, Uniontown and to the bank of the Alabama at Selma. There can be no doubt of the profitable returns from this if undertaken, and then there is much need of this system by that fer tile section where the agricultural devel- opment on progressive lines will probably make it's most marked advancement in the near future.
 Tt is gratifying to know that the South ern railway will spend some ymoney on equipment, particularly for the Birming ham to Mobile line. All of the railroads are now fully awake to the necessity of modern and safe equipment for their pas- senger service. The Alabama Great South It's smooth track and excellent train ser vice is making itself felt with the in- creasing tide of travel over that line"

sunday Moving Pictures in America

Moving pictures are becoming more popular every year in America" said A. Alex Wall. national vice president of the Motion Picture Exhibitors of America, who has an office in Birmingham.
 ''1ndeed I believe they are now more popular than baseball, the national sport. Certainly they are better attended. And then, too, the film has many natural ad- vantages. So many phases of human in- terest can be treated and developed through the medium of the flashing pie tures The film is coming to be generally adopted for educational purposes and in many instances scenes demonstrating biblical and other works having a relig- ious tendency are shown on the picture screens with vivid reality Picture exhi- bition is performed in such a quiet man. her and results are so beneficial and sat isfying that there are few cities in this country who do not welcome this form of Sunday recreation.
 "In fact, in many of the most popurous states of the union the legislatures have come out and declared Sunday moving pie lures legal. Within the last few months, upon the recommendation of the state at torney. who had made a thorough inves- tigation of the effect of Sunday picture exhibitions on law enforcement in diff ferent communities, the New York legs- lature declared Sunday picture service legal in the Empire state. Results were most gratifying. Since then the percent age of crime in New York city alone has been reduced 0 per cent. Of course the picture service is subjected to an intelli- gent censorship and it is claimed by au- thorities upon the subject that it is neces- sary where many people live in close proximity that there be some legitimate manner of recreation and amusement which will distract the attention of the criminally inclined. l believe that there are few people in Birmingham who would not be willing to try something of this na- ture in order to prevent Sunday trage- dies.'
