This is not a plea from the coun-
ty agent for more work because of
lack of jobs. He has more work now
than one man should be required to
do. Such work as a county agent is
called upon to do must, especially in a
new county, be taken up in the order
in which the applications for it are re-
ceived. This is just a reminder to
those who are holding back that a

.ROTAR|ANS LAUGH
 AT MEM0[|'S JOKE
Impromptu Music Class Breaks Up in Row Over
 the War

Philip Memoli, the musician, provided entertainment fin plenty for tho members of the Rotary club of Birmingham at their luncheon in the ballroom at the Tut wiler yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. After the custom of Rotarlans, 1t was Rotarian Memolis turn to tell the other members something about his business. Hale Tarrant presided and carried events along until MT. Memoli took charge.
 MT. Memoli's address was brief. He told about his work and closed the short talk by saying that the study of ordinary music was treated far too seri- ously by the lay public. He said that while no one could become a master mu- sican without special talent and hard study it was really very easy matter to learn simple music and that he could take the four "dumbest" members of the club and teach them in five minutes enough about music to enable them to render a tuneful selection.
 He selected Gen. George McCleery, Pri- vate Nicely Rose, Private Joe Rosenberger and Private Saxton Crawford. MT. Mo- moli bade the Rotarlans to proceed with their lunch while he taught the rudi- ments of wind instruments to the neo- phytes. He told the quartet to follow him to a corner of the ballroom, gave them the instruments and began his work. He instructed them in the stops and valves and then announced to the club members that his pupils were ready to give a recital of America"
 With Q knife for a baton. Director Memoli started his pupils off on the na- tional anthem. Everything went smoothly and 1t was really fine rendition of the national air that greeted the Rotarians. Expressions of wonderment were to be heard all over the room. But General McCleery brought the attention back to the music. He laid down his horn and announced that he wanted to play Tip perary.' The other three continued to play America while Director Memo,i frantically attempted to pour oil on the troubled waters by assuring "Gawge'' that he could. play "Tipperary" to hls hearts desire after America" was fin ished
 The general refused to resume Amer lea. however, and MT. Memoll gave in and told the quartet to play 'Tipperary." They started off well. Trouble broke out anew, however, and the entire quartet laid down their instruments and began a heated argument as to the merits of the contention. The music continued un- abated, notwithstanding the fact that all the neophytes had laid their instruments on the floor and were 'argufying" ex- citedly.
 1. The club "tumb,ed" to the fact that 1t had been victimized, but so clever was the joke that all enjoyed hearty laugh.
 MT. Memol completed the entertain ment by directing a band of 16 pieces in the rendition of the Rotary Spirit march. which was composed by Mir. Memoli and published by tie Williams Music house. It was a lively march and thoroughly in keeping with Rotary sentl- ment. Thunderous applause greeted Di- rector Memol and the Rotarians ac- corded him a rising vote of thanks for one of the cleverest entertainments that was ever offered the club at weekly luncheon.

REALTY MARKETS STEADILY GAINING SAYS BOB HENSON Points to Several Significant DevelOpments-ImpOrt-
 ant Deals Pending
 at Present

Real estate, about the last thing to show the effects of improved conditions, is now full of signs of better things and looks very encouraging,' said Robert Jemison Jr., yesterday.
 For instance, there are several opera tors of chains of stores right now seek ing good locations in Birmingham. I can not mention their names, of course, fer business reasons, but the fact that that kind of business man is seeking to estab- fish one of his stores in Birmingham shows that outsiders have faith in the old burg.
 ITO mention another instance take the Empire corner. There is a $30000 drug store corporation fitting up a store there that will outclass, probably, any other in the south. The Traylor & Stanton peo- pie are moving into larger quarters in the office where the Southern railway was and the Southern, realizing their in- creased business requires more office space, is establishing their ticket office on the ground floor and opening a new office on the upper floors of the building for the freight office.
 .'Those things are more or less insig- nificapt in themselves. But I take il they are true of practically every real estate office in the city and they show a better spirit. few months ago the people who now are making changes like that might not have had the inclination and the confidence to do so. They are the small signs of big things-a really better condition of affairs.
 At Fairfield there Is a bigger pay roll now than ever in the history of the town. Things there are booming. There is not Q vacant house available for rent in the place. Indications are that soon there will be considerable building activity there. for houses are needed.
 While nothing of consequence is oc- curing in the real estate market, there are several important deals pending and which may be closed up any time. I don't approve of idle boosting, but it seems to me that now we have something to boost about

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Prayer for Peace

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The religious world should not doubt the efficacy of prayer. because, for sooth, the proclamation. appeal and prayer of the pope of Rome for peace falls on deaf ears of the warning na- tons.
 Neither supplication. eloquence nor valor can hush the cannons' roar until the foreordained dostiny of nations is settled History recites that Demosthe- nes, with all his eloquence. could not save the Grecian cities; that Hannibal, with all his valor, could not save Car thage; that even the Savior of man. kind Himself wept over a decaying city which he would not, with all His divine power He could not. save from ruin.
 It is not irreverent 10 agree with Napoleon upon his assertion that the Lord is on the side of the heaviest ar tiliery, when We recognize the hand of the Almighty in providing success from the accomplishment of an end.
