QUI VIVE CLUB
MAKES STATEMENT

The Qu Vice club has submitted the
following:
For number of years the members of
the Qui Vive club of this city have taken
as their work along helpful lines 1.-The
ere ating of :. sentiment against the use
of firearms, either toy or real, by chill
dren." One could not read the daily
papers for the past few weeks and not
feel that something could and must be
done.
AS club we wish to thank Mr.. Wealth
ery for the stand he has taken toward
the destroying of firearms taken from
prisoners and wish to ask our city COM
missioners, with every father and mother,
in Greater Birmingham, if there is not
something that can be said or done to
discourage buying and giving to chill
dren firearms. toy or real, and in this
way help to teach the danger and the
awful results coming from the deadly
guns and pistols being used SO miscel-
laneously by large and small, old and
young, white and black?

held a conference this week and arrange
ments for the ball are well under way.
The plans are especially practical; one
that promises to meet with instant favor
is the intention of the committee to have
the entire club in use, so that conges-
tion will be quite avoided. Not only the
second and third floors, but the first,
with the sun parlor will be thrown open,
with arrangements so that I'll portions of
the building will be in use.
The committee urges that masquerade
costume be generally adopted. The pleas
ure and beauty of the occasion will, as
they point out, be greatly emphasized by
furthering this idea. and it is hoped that
everyone will appear en- masque. Promptly
at $3.50 o'clock the grand march will be-
gin. AT IL o'clock all will unmask.
There has been much speculation as to
the choice of leaders for the cotillion.
1t is announced that not until they un-
mask will their identity be disclosed

to the enjoyment of the real Mardi Gras

PLANS TO PROCURE
BETTER TEACHERS

New York. February 1s.-A novel
scheme for procuring better country
school teachers by providing them with
suitable homes and ample acreage for
farming purposes. today was introduced
by Philander C. ClaXton, United States
commissioner of education, at the meet
ing here of the state association of dis
trict superintendents.
"This farm of 20 or 80 acres" said
Mr.. ClaXton, Ought to become a kind
of model farm, if properly operated by
the teacher, and center of agricultural
and social life in the community.
I'VE will never get better teachers
he said, until we make the teachers
position more respectable. No ione VINO
moves about from town to town, and
school to school constantly, can keep
his self-respect. Therefore, it is nee
essary to make the teachers position
permanent, as it is in Switzerland. This
can be done by providing him with a
home and a farm"

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T BE SATISFIED WITH SECOND BEST BED-SHAKE-
SPEARES DOME STIC TROUBLES

pearses during Williams long absence IN
London? AIMS age had advanced to
81 an dthe poet was 40. Susanna, his eld-
est daughter, was 30 and was married,
and his daughter Judith was IS and un-
married. Ann was desperately pious;
susanna was as purftanical as her mother
and Judith as ignorant as both, and thus
Shakespeare paid the penalty of his long
absence from home and the utter neglect
of his education of the girls This, in it
self, would bespeak an unhappy home
where a husband would willfully absent
himself for 2S years.
Shakespeare thought so little of his
wife that when he was writing his will
she had practically passed out of his
memory, and when the fact was recalled
to him that he was married, it was then
he added at the end Il give unto my
wife my second-best bed with the fur
niture."
In fact Shakespeare must have had
some grudge against the entie Hathaway
family, for not a one of his wifes rela-
tives were mentioned in his will. Maybe
it was fortunate for the world that
Shakespeare was not happily married
Had he been he might never have be-
come Shakespeare. the immortal bard
He might never have peen heard of be-
yond the narrow limits of Stratford Ann :
way drove him to a different field
where he was to develop fully all the
genius in him.
During the 8 years of his absence tra-
dition records that he paid an occasional
visit home, and charity credits the poet
and shields the wife with the object OF
his having gone to London for the pur-
pose of acquiring wealth, and after his
toll returning to his native town to en-
joy domestic bliss with his wife and
daughters around his own fireside.
Why did he not bring them to London
to him? 1t seems a rather unusual pro-
ceeding to spend so many years away
from a family, for no especial reason, In
order to gain sufficient to live with them
the few remaining years
From all that can be CLEANED from the
life of the poet and his wife it would
seem that the marriage was not one of
those rare flawless unions, in which we
delight, but no doubt at first it was
founded on strong mutual attraction. II
a period of estrangement followed, there
was sufficient real worth in both parties
to have their lives come together once
again, and they wisely made the most OF
accepting things as they were, when toe
late to make change.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-19

When Shakespeare died and his VIII
was read his wife, Ann Hathaway, found
that the only thing that was bequeathed
to her was her husbands second-best
bed and lot of other old furniture. This
bequest was the only mention of Ann in
the will and while little is known of the
misunderstanding between the bard and
his wife yet there is sufficient evidence
to warrant the assertion that their do
mestic pathway was not 'strewn with
roses
Shakespeare married when he was only
little more than IS years of age, and
Ann was seven years his senior. 1t was
probably this difference in their years
that had something to do with the fam
lily squabbles which were frequent. The
poet gives utterance to his opinions on
the subject in his Twelfth Night" where
the Duke speaks to Viola:
Let still the woman take
An elder than herself. So wears she to
him,
So sways she level in her husband s
heart"
1t has been jestingly attributed to
shakespeare of his having said that Ann
Hathaway" and the way he dwells
upon jealousy in THE Comedy of Errors" "
and the fact that he went to London and
stayed there 2S years, gives an additional
force to the belief that he was hem
pecked.
There was no intellectual bond between
Shakespeare and Ann. She is said to have
been comely as we'll as strictly virtuous,
but hardly the character of woman to
be welded to SO gerat a genius The
very early marriage of the young man
with one more than seven years his elder
has been supposed to have been a rash
and passionate proceeding by most of his
biographers. Was 1t in realization of
this that Shakespeare wrote:
AS the most forward bud
Is eaten by the canker ere 1t blow,
Even so by love the young and tender wit
Is turned to folly; blasted in the bud
