the perpetuation of their respective languages and the struggle which they are making for the preservation of their literature is as keen as that eXerted for material advancement.
 Modern Greece has successfully re- stored her classicism in literature and purged it's tongue of today of all Slavic impurities. The Magyars of Hungary are fighting stubbornly for the recognition of their tongue as a national language, and Italy annually awards prizes for the best songs writ ten in pure Neapolitan dialect.
 The basic principle of each move ment is national pride and patriotism, which are virtues to be commended in the highest terms and which should command governmental consideration and official fostering.

MARRYING AT 44

From the Philadelphia Press.
 A certain well known diva, singer noted for her beauty no less than for her voice and famous above all else for her wide experience in matrimony, advises that no woman should marry before she is A. Thus is she quoted as to girls mar rying: No; not girls. What girl can pick the man she has got to eat breakfast with the rest of her life? Breakfast is very trying. It is an antisocial institution. |. American girls make good wives, but New York girls are too frivolous and think too much of dancing. The tango and frying pans cannot be friends You can not learn to keep house at tango tea"
 Philosophy, but the philosophy of the aged and the jaded. Epigrammatic, but sadly cynical. It is given to some women to preserve enthusiasm as well as bloom forties. Nor is it ever too late to marry. But the normal girl, and especially the American girl, knows that it is a waste of time to wait so long to make one or more men happy The American girl Is not so cold-blooded so hard-hearted as to want to keep one or 100 men on tenter hooks for a quarter of century. Eating rify her. On pinch she is ready to cook it for him. At the last she is not only willing but happy to pour out the coffee for both and has plenty of strength enough left to grace a tango tea.

MILITARY LIFE SAVERS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer It is a good sign when an army officer high in authority takes time to answer critics and defend the military Ordi-
 narily, good deal is said lightly in con demnation, and a good deal of nonsense,
 Is hurled back in reply. It is well to have
 the sound, thoughtful view of a man like | Gen. Leonard Wood.
 In a recent statement the general look
 up the defense of the military establsh
 ment. In particular, he cited the work l done in stamping yellow fever out of Cuba as indicating the constructive ,,se- fulness of the organization. He asserted that this achievement had saved more in
 lives and money than any of the great wars cost.
 The general perhaps takes the trouble to make an unnecessary point Very few people believe in the abolition of the army; everyone desires it to be kept at it's highest efficiency. The attacks" on the organization which impelled the gen
 eral to make his statement may have been inspired by a desire to increase it's use-
 fulness
 But the fact remains, of course. that tue
 professional soldier is traditionally a
 man hired to kill other men, and the mod
 ern soldier has not wholly outived the
 tradition. It is not pleasant thought
 and perhaps need not be dwelt on. 1t is better to emphasize the other and better
 activities which engage the modern ar.Iy,
 such as driving the fever out of Cuba ana building the Panama canal
 The advance of civilization should be
 marked by the gradual alteration of the professional soldiers mission: more and
 more he will become what General Wood pictures him-a saver of human life There are plenty of tasks of this nature to be performed. The United States army
 is performing more of them than the aver age citizen has any conception of. There Is no use talking about abolishing the army either in this country or elsewhere

VIA AIR TO EUROPE

IT, H. Windsor, in the May Popular Me
 chanics Magazine.
 For several years past airmen have hopefully looked to next year as the one in which the Atlantic ocean would be crossed in a vehicle of the air Each year has brought it's disappointment: and while the feat will undoubtedly be accomplished some day. il seems unlikely that 1914 will be able to credit that milestone to it's records. In some respects the event seems even farther off than three years age While experienced explorers are at this moment battling with untried routes in the Antarctic. none of them has either a drigible or aeroplane in his outfit They have air propelled sledges. but no air craft
 To the layman the dirigible, though slower in it's movement than plane vehicle. seemed the more likely to suc- ceed; but the destruction of the vani- man and several Zeppelins in mid-air has made him skeptical At present the only suitable gas for the purpose Is hydrogen, the explosive dangers of which are well known. It has even been questioned whether dirigible may not, under condi- tions of very cold, dry air. by it's own passage generate something in the nature of the pale blue flame sometimes seen in cold weather on fast-moving belts. In which case a very small spark and a very minute gas leak would be as effi- ciently deadly as a thunderbolt. In aero planes. construction is stronger than three years ago. the power is greater and

\ Great Advertisement

"As most people know, Birmingham is a well advertised city-one of the best advertised cities in this country" said the fact that the American Steel and Wire company of the United States Steel corporation is turning out products here on big scale adds greatly to the city's commercial and industrial fame,
 Tn passing along Twentieth street my attention was called to kegs of nails and packages of wire stacked up in front of a real estate agency in the First Ma tional Bank building. The stencil let tering on the head of each keg told an important story American Steel and Wire company, nails, Birmingham The world Alabama is not even used,, be- cause Birmingham in the United States means Birmingham, Ala.
 '1 was first here in 1897 when the steel plant at Ensley was just being built. Up to that time Birmingham had been known simply as a pig iron town, but now I am told that the best steel rails made in the United States are pro- duced here. and that the new wire plant is the last word in that branch of the steel industry.

SMITHS MEAN REMARK

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 Here is one that Congressman William B. Francis of Ohio told the other evening when one of the party mournfully re- ferred to the weary life he once led in a boarding house:
 A young man named Smith boarded with an emaciated aunty of ample years, who semed to take the view that most any old thing was good enough to hash up for fodder One day chicken salad was served, but it was merely another demonstra ton that there is nothing in name.
 By the way, MT. smith," severely re- marked the landlady, as the meal pro- gressed, "how do you like the chicken salad?"
 That reminds me" irrelevantly an- swered Smith. .f bought d book today and told them to send it around here. Did 1t come?"
 ''Yes." replied the landlady with a puzzled expression, but why should the chicken salad remind you of it?'
 Coincidence, Mrs Slymm,' was the mean rejoinder of Smith The book is half calf, you know

Henry Ford as Altruist

A few weeks ago Henry Ford, the Automobile King" who has "put De- troit on the map" almost as effec- lively as a certain brand of beer has immortalized Milwaukee, announced a profit sharing plan by which the army of men employed by the Ford com pany would benefit It was perhaps the most radical step of the kind ever taken, but it seems to have been by no means an impractical scheme and is in fact already being operated success fully.
 Not content with providing extra pay for his employees, MT. Ford has decided to make them show their ap- preciation of what he has done by leading "clean lives" The cleanliness is to be both moral and physical. h. vestigations are being made of the home life of the Ford employees and COtulllOilS III q iCdb hitbS No5No he' - been found very bad. In some of the lodging houses where single workmen live they sleep in shifts and never bathe. At one mans squalid little home five live ducks were found in the bath tub, the family evidently deeming it more worth while to keep . few ducks than to bathe.
 Men and women who cannot. rise above squalid environment when they have the means to do so will not be employed by the Ford company, although plenty of time will be given them to improve their way of living Married men will not be permitted to keep lodgers, while single men are expected to live comfortably and ''un- der conditions that make for good cit izenship." Men who earn from $5 to s9 day have no excuse for ignoring hygiene declares Mr. Ford. The crowd ed rooming house and the tenement must go.
 Mr. Ford having among his em- ployes great many foreigners who do not as rule adapt themselves readily to "uplift" movements, it re- mains to be seen how his plan will work out. His idea, while it is pater- nal one, will commend itself to all "social reformers"

In AgrIcuIturaI Sections

Business IS particularly good in a.l agricultural sections of the south,' said John F. Hartman of Chicago.
 "As far as I can learn, the west is prosperous. but the south Is especially so. There has been a lull In business in all the large cities, but conditions in manu- featuring centers are said to be improv- ing
 Tn the small towns that depend upon crops there is large degree of optimism. The farmers made good crops last year and got big prices for them. The planting season in the south has been favorable. am told that farmers are farther s,d- vanced with their work than usual. Last year in Alabama a great deal of replant- ing had to be done and owing to exces- sive rains the cotton crop was very back ward. This year nature seems to have been at sss best in this part of the coun- try. and indications now point to bumper crops in the coming summer

The Library Canvass

New books are needed for Birming- hams public library, or libraries, for there are several branches. If the library was of service to the people years ago, it is of far greater ser vice today. Its efficiency is generally remarked. In the number of volumes on the shelves Birmingham is far be- hind other cities of approximately it's size, but in point of efficiency the library system here is second to none. President J. w. Donnelly of the library board and all others who are connected with the institution are giving their best thought to the work.
 A canvass is now being made for funds with which to purchase new books. There is such demand on the library now that many of the standard works as we'll as works of light fiction are so worn that it would hardly pay to rebind them.
 In order to make the library system what it should be to keep up with Birminghams growth and to meet the increasing demands for good reading 20,000 or 30,000 volumes should be added at once. It is hoped the can vass for n1oney will ho a,+;ralx, c,,c cessful.

TITLES FOR SALE

From the London Chronicle.
 Dom Pedro II. who lost the throne of Brazil in 1889, was the last monarch to offer titles for sale. In order to obtain funds for the erection of a hospital in Rio Janeiro, the Emperor announced that he would confer the title of bar on' on every subscriber of 100000 milreis. and the title of count" on every subscriber of <250.0 milreis. Many proved willing to become enno- bled on these terms. and sufficient money was forthcoming to endow the hospital as well as build it. Over tho main entrance may still be seen the inscription suggested by Dom Pedro, Human Vanity to Human Misery"
 Although French titles of nobility were abolished at the time of the revo- lution by a decree revised in 1871, yet the ministr yof justice issues certif- cates of nobility Members of the French diplomatic service who use titles have to obtain one of these certificates and pay stiffly for the transaction. The fees in the case of duke amount to f7o0, marquis pays f400, viscount f2SG, a baron EGO and a chevalier f52. The certificate sets out that the pedi- gated his claim to the title he bears has been fully established. and the seal of the republic Is affixed to this patent

 This Is as it should be, for there gre few names so illustrious in the early his- tory of our country as that of Commo- dore Barry.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF HORNE TOOKE

THE dissatisfied American colonists
 of England prior to the revolution
 A found many ardent sympathizers at home. Many of them out of true, patriotic motives and others no doubt on account of grievances they had with cer- tain English statesmen who were doing all in their power to preciiptate war There was strong party in England known as the opposition leaders. who fre- freedom, yet there is no doubt but that the war feeling was popular in England and the vast majority of that nation ap- proved of the north cabinet, chief justice, Lord Mansfield and others, who were for crushing rebellion and preserving British ascendency
 One Of the most outspoken of these lovers of liberty was Horne Tooke, and his sentiments in favor of the Americans led him to become charged with libel and placed on trial Tooke was a man of re- markable acuteness and power of sar- casm. The charge against him was for writing and publishing an advertisement proposing a subscription ito be applied to the relief of the widows, orphans ana aged parents of our beloved American fel- low-subjects, who, faithful to the charac- ter of the English race, preferred death to slavery and were. for that reason only, inhumanly murdered by the King 3 troops at Lexington and Concord in the province of Massachusetts"

It was Tookes prime object to provoke fIans- field to a sally of impatience, of which he might have taken advantage, and he even cross-examined some printers of newspapers respecting their having been intmidated by the court, but in this he was foiled, for the chief justice remained throughout calm and complacent.

A mass of red coals were piled all around Stafford, and he was compelled to crawl which he escaped. Twice he fell on the coals, and his forehead and arms were burned se- verely. It is believed he will recover with out permanent injury.

D., author of "The North Star, John Gildart," and other books of prose and poetry. The title of the romance is The Shield of Silence" and the dedi- cation is to some dear boys and girls whose kindness and devotion has made possible the leisure that has been woven into this book" Benziger Bros, New York, are the publishers.
 The scenes are laid in America at first and later in the Basque provinces of Spain and are full of local colT. Dramatic effect Is heightened by de- scription of a Barcelona riot it's pre- Jude and consequences.
 The story is told in simple and attention n-holding way and has poetic beauty all its own. The moral or lesson, while not obtruded, cannot be eyaded; and is thoroughly worth while.
