Crown Prince Humbert, heir to the
Italian throne, was IL on Sept. 10.
Humbert, like most boys of that age,
looked forward to birthday pres
emit. And the child who will at some
time guide the destinies Of Italy was
told by his father that he would
have what he wanted on that day. It
wasn't an air gun or q jack knife that
Humbert wanted for his birthday. In
stead he. asked that he be permit
ted to visit the fighting lines.

CHARGES BIG TAxDoDoINc
AGAINST RAILWAYS

A $35,000,000 graft which the
steam and electric railways of Illinois
have collected during the last twenty
years was exposed last night by one
who is in a position to know. Albert
Donaghue of the state board of
equalization says the roads have been
getting away with enormous sums by
taxdodging.
From 100000 to 100000 a
year the roads have been holding out;
because taxing bodies neglect to keep
a check on the properties of the rail-
ways.
Small roads when absorbed by
larger firms have been dropped from
the books of the tax collectors. Moth
ing has been added to the assess
ments levied on the absorbing roads.

The Education Campaign

The legislature at is 20-day ses- sion passed all the education bills seeking to advance public school work except the one requiring compulsory attendance on the part of children of school age.
 The school tax amendment bill met with virtually no opposition; and the bill providing that women might serve on county school boards and city boards of education was carried by a large majority. And so it was with the measure creating the "illiteracy commission" for the removal of adult illiteracy in Alabama, and other meas ures aiming at progress in the line of education.
 Vigorous agitation against prevail ing ignorance on the part of thousands of whites as well as negroes will re- duce the percentage of illiteracy in this state; and in few years after school districts shall have the right to levy taxes for school purposes the conditions from an educational point of view will be greatly improved; but illiteracy will not disappear rapidly will certainly not disappear entirely until every boy and girl is required tc attend school. Without a compulsory law thousands of parents would allow their children to grow up in ignorance no matter how good school facilities might be-
 The compulsory bill now pending should be passed by decisive ma, jority at the July session.

Great chsut.uou. Attractions

Last years chautauqua and the chau- tauqua of the year before brought ex- cellent attractions to Birmingham, but in looking over the folder setting forth the attractions for this month l feel safe in saying that we are to have a week of most delightful entertainment surpassing in many respects anything of the kind ever offered here" said a professional man.
 We are to have distinguished men in popular lectures, and what appeals to me especially men of science in up-to- date scientific demonstrations.
 As for music. Alice Nelson alone in her one recital, should be worth almost the price of a season ticket. There are many fine musical attractions, including particularly fine chamber orchestra Of six players-string quintet and piano Pellaria's band of 30 pieces comes high ly recommended. It will give two con certs-afternoon and night. The aft ernoon programme is very light but the night programme is up to a symphonic standard. l hope the local management Will Insist on Pellaria confining his ex- tras to music of some artistic merit The people who go to hear good pro- gramme are disgusted If the extras are altogether trivial. Krill, a chautauqua fayorite, made a mistake by playing a great deal of trashy stuff He evidently had an idea that Birming gham chautau- qua audiences were made up of hay seeds"

The Norwaod Methodist

We certainly have a live Sunday school organization at the Norwood
 Methodist church, Thirteenth avenue
 and Thirty first street." said E. F. Nor
 gan.
 The warm weather seems to have
 no adverse effect at all on our attend ance. In fact, believe it has increased since the temperature has begun to iise. Last Sunday, for instance, our attendance was fully $50 out of an enrolment of 400. Perhaps I should state by way of explanation that the officers identified with our Sunday school organization are men who be- lieve in putting forward their best ef- forts in behalf of the organization. MT l.. J. Rowe Is superintendent and he has two exceptionally competent mo, as assistants in the persons of Frank Hammond and J. D. Porter. Our Sun- day school is said to be the only body | in the city fully organized in accord | ance with the plans laid out by tho Birmingham Sunday School associa' ton. The different classes are mad, up of pupils who believe in being SO | cial and regular.
 | T have the pleasure of teaching thu Brotherhood class, which last Sunday | had 60 men in attendance. These nor l demonstrate great loyalty to the olasi organization and appear to take mucl l pleasure in the social features Of tn, Sunday school.'

science over the mind of a sensitive man. White had, it seems, lived be- yond his means and had occupied a prominent place in Brooklyn society. Being unable to meet the demands upon his purse legitimately, he took to embezzlement and highway robbery, according to his own confession. Unprincipled as he was, to betray the trust reposed in him by his em- ployers, there yet remained within him sense of honor that made his guilty conscience unbearable. Possibly he might have been acquitted for lack of conclusive evidence, possibly the guilt might have been wrongly fixed on some other man, yet White knew that for him there would be no peace until he had rendered such reparation as lay in his power.
 Many clever man has engaged in criminal pursuits, which must even- tually end in disaster, not taking into consideration that the same amount of effort and intelligence applied to legitimate enterprise would net many times greater reward in ma terial way, beside the blessing of a conscience that fears no accuser.

Great Britain and the Drinking Habit

Great Britain ana thc Dii"n"S
 The drinking habit, which was for merly widespread in Great Britain and is still a troublesome problem to the government facing a great war, IS traced to England's intercourse with the so-called "Low Countries" During prolonged wars in the Netheriands the Historian Camden says the English "first learnt to drown themselves with immoderate drinking, and by drinking others healths to impair their own. Of all the northern nations they had been before this most commended for their sobriety."
 Isaac d'Israeli, in his "Curiosities of Literature" points out that many drinking terms, such as "carouse" and sshalf seas over," are of German, Dutch or Danish origin. However, the early Anglo-Saxons were much given to hard drinking, as the annals ot those days show. Many quaint and curious customs resulted.
 It is said that at the instance of St. Dunstan, archbishop of Canter- bury, King Edgar ordered that pegs or pins be inserted in the large drink ing vessels then used, so that each mans consumption might be regu- lated. The first person who drank lowered the contents of the takard to the first peg from the top. The next drank down to the second peg, and so on until the tankard was emptied. By this method each man was allowed about half pint. There was penalty provided for anyone who went beyond one pin. The phrase putting in the pin" seems to have been derived from this practice.
 At later period globular glasses were introduced which would not stand, thus compelling person tc drain them to the bottom. Some o1 these glasses held a quart or more During the sixteenth, seventeenth eighteenth and the first part of tho nineteenth centuries drinking among Englishmen was excessive, but de cided change has come about in tho past fifty or sixty years and recently there was talk in England of enforc ing prohibition by government author ity while the war lasts.

INVOCATION

From the Atlantic Monthly. O Thou whose equal purpose runs In drops of rain or streams of sunss And with a soft compulston rolls The green earth of her snowy poles; o Thou who keepest in thy ken The times of flowers the dooms of men. Stretch out a mighty wing above Be tender to the land we love! If all the huddlers from the storm Have found her hearthstone wide and
 warm;
 If she has made men free and glaa. Sharing, with all. the good and bad; If she has blown the very dust
 From her bright balance to be just Oh, spread mighty wing above Be tender to the land we love! When the dark eternal tower The star clock strikes her trial hour, And for her help no more avail Her sea blue lield, her mountain mall But sweeping vide, from gulf to lakes The battle on her forehead breaks Throw Thou q thunderous wing above--
 Be lightning for the sand we lovei

Some there are who believe that the states can do much to assist in this di- rection. and one of the most prominent is MT w. P. G. Harding. formerly pres ident of the First National bank of Bir- mingham. and now a member of the fed eral reserve board. MT. Harding recently submitted plan for state aid in ex- tending rural credits, and this has been received with so much favor as to be made the basis of bill prepared by a subcommittee of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, which bill the legislature of Alabama may be asked to legislate into law.
 MT. Harding's proposal briefly described is that the state of Alabama charter land mortgage bank, with headquarters centrally located; the paid-in capital to be $500,9Oo. and the authorized capital seven times that amount; capital stock to be exempted from taxation; capital stock distributed as equally as may be in the counties of the state. The directors are to be chosen, one- third of the number by the governor and two-thirds by the stockholders; and cer- l tain state officers may be ex-officio d- rectors
 ] The business done is to be upon farm
 mortgages. the loans to be limited to 50 | per cent of actual values, and approved
 in each instance by two or more stock
 holders living in the county where the l loan is sought.
 loaned, the bank may issue collateral
 trust bonds, based upon mortgage paper
 held by it. not to exceed, however, four or five times the actual paid-in capital; these collateral bonds to be retired an-
 nually in proportion to the amortization payments.
 It is recommended that the charges
 upon loans be sufficient to cover interest
 on the money loaned and the repayment
 of the loan in nstallments reaching over l a period of 20 years, such repayment being
 known as amortization. The charges | should not exceed altogether the legal rate of per cent.
 Dividends of the bank are to be lim- 1 ited to per cent, and all surplus earn
 ings go to support of the public schools. | to the building of roads, etc. l The state to guarantee principal and
 interest of all collateral bonds issued by I the bank
 The drafted bill follows these sugges- tions of MT. Harding's very closely but l is worked out in greater detail. Its con I cluding section or clause embodies pro- | vision that the powers contained in the bill be authorized by the people; that is to say, be indorsed as an amendment to
 the state constitution. The clause is a
 recognition of the fact that the con sttution forbids the legislature to au- thorize the lending of the states credit to an assodiation. That there will be diff ficulty in accomplishing this amendment is well understood, but the framers of the bill place much hope in the general utility of the bill and say that the bene- fits to accrue will speak eloquently in it's favor.
 MT. Harding is to be thanked for the
 initiative he has shown. Whether this
 particular plan is practicable or not, it will open the way, and will keep things going until some avenue of relief is dis covered.

A National Ballroom

Cures for the divorce evil have been many and varied, but new one has made it's appearance
 The new cure is dancing, and, ac- cording to press reports, is prescribed by Mrs. Walter Pulitzer of New York. According to Mrs. Pulitzer's diag- nosis discontented wives and jealous husbands are the most frequent seek CTS after divorce. And according to her theory, husbands who become en- grossed in learning the latest glides and dips, with some charming young society belle, forget to be jealous and fault finding with their wives The wives in turn, instead of moping at home, renew their youth and gayety in the ballroom.
 Mrs. Pulitzer proposes to head a movement to establish a national dance palace in San Francisco, where mismated couples from all over the country can dance themselves into a state of forgetfulness of marital con- tention.
 No suggestion, however, is offered for the morning following the ball, when both husband and wife, it would seem, may be wearied by their terpsichorean efforts of the night be- fore, and inclined to vent their irri- tation upon one another. ' Many practical obstacles appear in the working out of Mrs. Pulitzer's idea, which at least has the virtue of originality.
 Small things, apparently surface things no doubt, combine to bring about a situation which terminates in the divorce courts. UnlSind words, fretting and nagging, that day by day wear away the respect and affection lack of consideration in the home, may lack of consideration in the home, may seem small things, but in the aggre- gate build a barrier that cannot be bridged even by dancing feet, in the latest glides, dips, swirls or shuffles that the dancing craze of the hour may dictate.

GOSSIP IN LONDON

The exploits of a young Russian scout named Vassili received prominent mention in the Petrograd journals. Vassli, who was volunteer was first in every bold adventure and received the St. Georges Cross for conspicuous bravery. After taking prominent part in some
 severe fighting Vassili and party of com panions spent the night in a barn, Vassili sleeping on heap of hay. In the middle of the night the young volunteer awoke
 and shouted, Mamma, there's a rat.' The other soldiers laughed uproariously Here's a pretty St. Georges hero" they shouted. Afraid of ratr' Then, to their astonishment, vassili eventually had to be taken to hospital in
 hysteria The young hero continued to cry, and a doctor then discovered that
 The" was a pretty girl of IS. When she | recovered she was taken to the com l mander, who elicited from her the admis- sion that she had run away from home | with her sweetheart's papers. T fear | nothing, your excelency, but mice and | rats," she said.
 Vassili is now acting as Sister of
 Mercy in a Red Cross hospital.-Centra l News.
 Sir William Treloar has received a tele- l gram from Queen Alexandra congratu-
 lating him on the opening of a new ward
 at the Alton Cripples' hospital and asking
 him to convey to This poor little sufferers her earnest hope that they may soon bt |
 restored to health and strength and bt
 able to take their part in the duties and
 pleasures of life. The message was read 1 by Sir William to a party of little cripple'
 at Waterloo station, who were on theil
 way to the hospital, and an interesting in
 cident was the presentation of medal
 granted by Queen Alexandra to two littl cripples whose fathers are serving witl
 the Coldstream guards and Royal Scot
 Fusiliers respectively.

National Characteristics

A war correspondent who has de- voted a great deal of attention to the 'human' side of the war in Europe recently gave his impressions of the different nationalities engaged. The Turcos he found the most composed of all the soldiers he has seen. With them their fate seemed to be all in the days work" But even their stoicism deserted them in cold wealth ar and we are informed that they were very miserable during the winter, when they suffered greatly from the cold and the rain. The Belgians he thinks the most excited, although the average mind has pictured these val iant people as making the best of their deplorable situation with the calm that comes when the worst has hap pened. The. correspondent pictures them as "voluble, distrait kind, witt the question ever on their lips, Where are the English 2"
 The poor Frenchman, it seems. erie . great deal from the torture of hi wounds, but no one seems to thinl any the worse of him for that. It Ii iust ''his way" There is no brave soldier in the world than the French man. but he hasn't the physique tha gives man fortitude in suffering, no the temperament to endure withou complaint. Crying relieves the French man just as swearing helps the Eng lishman or the American. althoug the latter think it much more prefera ] ble for g man in trouble to rip out
