ARRANGING A GETAWAY
m the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 At smoker sometime ago reference was made to the matter of favorite topics of conversation. ss
 One afternoon Brown and Green were con,muning with each other in the lobby of a hotel when a man with his coun- tenance shining like great gladness headed their way.
 Here comes Madison remarked Brown to his friend. "He has just been presented with new baby. and he will talk us to death in telling of its glories '
 "That's all right responded Green. glancing in the opposite direction. T guess we will be able to fix the thing .
 Come again, old man." said Brown, wonderingly. "I don't get you"
 "Thcre's neighbor or mlne ove- there who has just bought new automobile" |" explained Green. I've will introduce them and then take a slide

HUGE PROFITS FOR OCEAN VESSEL.

From the kansas City star.
 These are golden days for owners Of ocean freight steamers. The rate on wheat from New York to Liverpool is S6 cents a bushel, about seven times normal charge. The owner of a ves- sel makes s60000 more than normal profit in carrying a cargo of 100000 bush- els from New York to Liverpool, and proportional profit to all other open ports of Europe. Ocean freight rates on other commodities have advanced relatively as much as those on wheat. The high ocean freights are due to the disappearance of German vessels from the sea and the diversion of many English, French and Italian merchant ships to war uses The element of risk cuts some figure, but it is not an important factor, for war in- surance is obtainable for a maximum of per cent, and from that down to less than l per cent

ALABAMA PRESS

Talladega Home: The Birmingham Age Herald was the first paper to reach this office presenting the picture of Mrs. Gait. the Aancee of President Wilson.
 Selma Journal: quart a week for the old tepers is all the South Carolina laws will let them order. But they think that is better than two quarts every two weeks. They don't save 1t we'll enough to make 1t last.
 Tuscaloosa News: As a strategist, Col onel Boil Weevil takes rank alongside Von Hindenburg. According to late re- ports he has advanced 200 miles in the last two weeks.
 Mobile Register: If Alabama were as thickly settled as Belgium was in 1910 she would have over So0oo,ooo people, nearly one-third of the total population of the United States. If her debt were in proportion to Belgium's in 1910 it would be nearly s40o0, 600, ,0Oo If she had as many small farms as Belgium had in 19lo they would number 3,5oo,oco
 Opelika News: In vetoing the recircuit- ing bill Governor Henderson makes the statement that his veto will amount to an annual saving of some s4o,ooO to the tax payers of the state and that at the same time it will in no wise interfere with the administration of the laws of the state or be the means of delays in the courts. If 1t turns out that the gov ernor is not mistaken then he will have put even more than one over on the law makers. In fact, it will write this leg islature down as the most incompetent body of it's kind the state has had or it will mark them as a body legislating with absolutely no consideration whatever for the public good.

Dr. Minors Wait

'I was permitted to attend the medi- cal section of the recent tubeyculosis conference at Columbia, s. C., the other day" said Dr. George Eaves. T was inn mensely impressed with the demon stration of pr. Charles L. Minor as a lucid and resourceful lecturer. His in- sight into hidden physical conditions strikes the layman as almost uncanny; but there is nothing there beyond the enthusiasm of a genius along with the most absolute science, but he unites also the social and the psychical with the physical elements in his reading of the subpect.
 His coming to Birmingham at this juncture in the anti-taberculosis move men should be a most useful contri- button to that work. His dictum is that early diagnosis can be made by others than specialists"

The Scottish HixAu.nders' Band .

The Alabama State Fair association mas provided more music this year than ever before, and as for quality do not see how it could be surpassed said George Schneider.
 "The Scotch Highlanders' band, 90 per formers or more, under the conductor snip of Roy D. Smith, plays the music for the free acts and it adds greatly to the beauty of each performance. Acting music. or incidental music. as it is tech nically called, is an art in itself, and Conductor Smiths forces have the art to perfection.
 "Memolis excellent band gives two concerts daily. and music lovers flock to hear his delightful programmes. Yes. the fair management has treated the pub lie well in the matter of music as in everything else.''
