It was fortunate indeed that another great sea dis aster was not recorded last Saturday when the steamer La Touraine caught fire four hundred miles off the Irish coast Did you read the wireless reports of how steamers rushed to her aid from all directions in response to her wireless S. o. s. signals?
 How much more beautiful IS this spirit than 1e spirit of hatred and destruction spread over wide an area of the worldl
 Let us in Alabama always cultivate the spirit which prompted rushing to La Touraines rescue. Let's help each other. Let's build up a great city and state by cooperation, by helpfulness. We have the resources Let's pull togetIer and utilize them.

made by the machines. With n total
output Of 1853 barrels of holes for the
twelvemonth, it is obvious that the
contents Of each barrel would amount
to about 53S, 46l, 53S holes.
Astronomers say that there are in
the universe not fewer than 800
billion starts and not more than 900
billion, the exact number being
somewhere between the two. 1t ap-
pears then that the Bureau OF En-
craving in q period between two and
four years turns out enough holes in
postage stamps to equal the number
Of the starts.
Now, what becomes OF all these
holes? Have they any value? The
answer to the latter question Is. not
the slightest. They arc carried of, in
the barrels, to the city dump.
Many sheets of postage stamps are
spoiled In the making. Thousands Of
other sheets, gummcd together by hot
weather in the Summer time, nibbled
by mice. or in other ways rendered
unstable, are returned to the
bureau to be replaced with new ones.
Such sheets, OF course, have cash

paper. some red, some yellow, some
blue, some green. Others were Of
yet other colors.
1t appears that the material In
question Is by-product Of the ma
chimes through which the sheets OF
postage stamps go to be perforated.
AS the little holes are punched out
Of them the tiny paper disks fall into
baskets beneath, while later on are
emptied into barrels. Every week
day in the year the Bureau OF En-.
craving turns out in this way
barrel and Il half of holes" This
means nine barrels week, or 46S
barrels in twclvcmonth.
How many holes go to mako Il
barrel full? Nobody ever took tho
trouble to count, but 1t may be
reckoned approximately without much
difficulty. The bureau prints in Al
year 12.000.000000 postage stamps
Allowing for the fact that row OF
pcrfOrations serves for the stamps on
both sides OF 1t, there are twenty one
OF them for each stamp. This would
mean a total of 2520OO,0O00 holes

value: they must be destroyed, like
redeemed paper money. For this
purpose they are packed in boxes and
sent In n wagon to the Washington
Navy Yard, where they are burned,
under the official eye OF n Govern
ment committee, in big furnace.
Formerly the spoiled stamps were
boiled to pulp, like the old paper
money, in tank with water and
acids. But, whereas the paper money
pulp was sold. as is still the custom.
for paper stock, being derived
originally from fine linen rags, the
stamps, of woodpulp paper, went into
the sewer, being not worth saving.
AS for the hole in postage stamp,
1t seems to be very trihing thing:
yet, as matter OF fact, it represents
nm extremely important invention.
When stamps were first used they
had to be cut apart with scissors,
which was highly inconvenlent. II
is said that $4,000 was paid to thu
man who originated tho idea OF
perforating the sheets, for the priv,
