The Great Fair

The State Fair opened yesterday most auspiciously. The exhibits were in place and the weather was ideal.
 The cattle show this year is much larger than ever seen here before; ever seen at any fair in this part of the country If there was nothing else at the fairgrounds to interest the public the cattle display would cer- I tainly be we'll worth while. In all the range of agricultural diversification in Alabama nothing has proved SC profitable perhaps as cattle raising and a visit to the fair will reveal something of the extent of this branch of husbandry.
 All the exhibit features of the fail are educational and it was generally remarked yesterday that the woman'' department was easily ahead of tha of last year, as large and attractive as it was then.
 The management of the fair asso- citation has worked hard to make thi! years event the greatest ever at tempted hitherto, and it's efforts have been crowned with success. It is un- occasionally the best fair ever held in Alabama.
 The opening day attendance was as large as usual. The second day al ways witnesses big crowd. Saturday is Miners Day, and every day next week will be everybody's day. Bir- mingham should turn out en masse.

What Is a Model Husband?

The winner of the blue ribbon at Husband show' recently conducted in Dallas, Tex, was able to tell the anni- versary of his wedding, the date of his wife's birthday, give recipe for cake, tell the price of butter and eggs and sew button on in two minutes.
 The old saying, "It's all matter of opinion," applies as we'll to the choice of a model husband as to any of the other problems with which life has to do. The winner of the prize in this case showed himself possessed of knowledge not usually to be met with among husbands, whether good or bad. The average married man knows the price of butter and eggs, as well as host of other things for which he has to pay. Sometimes he remembers the date of his wedding-more in sorrow than in anger-and it is not unusual for him to recall his wife's birthday. Having learned by one or two painful experiences what he must endure when he forgets it, he jots it down on his calendar or in some other place for convenient reference.
 However, being able to give a recipe for cake and to sew on button in two minutes are the accomplishments of model wife. The husband who learns how to do either or both is spineless mollycoddle and deserves the henpeck- ing he inevitably receives. The aver age conception of a model husband does not do these things and he may occasionally forget important dates in his married life, but if he is good proyider, behaves himself to a reason able extent and makes sacrifices of personal comfort to maintain the en- tente cordiale with Friend Wife, his claim to the title cannot be questioned.

The National Defense

When the Wilson administration began to take up the matter of na- tional defense earnestly many demo- crats predicted that Congress would not be in line with the President, but as the time for Congress to meet draws near the sentiment is so strongly in favor of increasing both army and navy that little or no friction is eX pected," said J. R. Joplin of Washing ton, D. C..
 Just how much will be asked for to improve the navy has not been dis closed: but Secretary of War Garrison has said that he wanted $250,000,00 to be expended in various ways for the betterment of the army and fortifi- cations. doubt if Congress accedes to the amount named, but l feel sure after talking with several members of Congress and with mili- tary experts that the army will be in creased by fully 50,000 men,"

enriched literature with their verse. Longfellow, Poe and Lanier live with the immortals.
 No poet of today measures up to James Whitcomb Riley. His poems in the "Hoosier" dialect won for him instant success. His "pieces" most familiar to the public are all of the homely sort, but they touch the heart and are singularly humanizing. "The Old Clock on the Stairs," "Old- Fashioned Roses," Home Folks" and Out to Aunt Mary's" are so full of tenderness and beauty that they will rank forever with the classics.
 While Riley's best work was accom- plished in the "Hoosier" atmosphere, he wrote convincing prose and ele- gant verse in literary English.
 In this time of carnage abroad and feverish haste after the dollar here in America it is refreshing to know that there is enough sentiment left to exalt the poet and such a gentle, pure minded singer as James Whitcomb Riley. May he be as fresh and young at 72 as he is today at the age of threescore and twol

AN AMPHIBIoUs MOTOR CAR

From the Literary Digest.
 A number of people have been work
 ing of late years to solve the problem of constructing vehicle capable of travelling upon both land and water. More than one has had some degree of success, but none is better perhaps, than that invented by a Viennese engi- neer named l.. Zeiner.
 This land motor boat" resembles an
 ordinary touring car in appearance except that the body is rather higher. But besides it's wheels. it is provided with propeller placed at the rear. The power of . the motor can be switched from the running gear to the propeller screw and vice versa. It is built so as to take quite steep grades with ease. Hence one may ride down the sloping bank of river plunge into the current, switch the power to the propeller and cross the stream in a practicable motor boat Arriving at the other side, the engine is switched to put the wheels in com mission once more, the bank is easily climbed and the journey continued without more ado.
 The vehicle has made good under practical tests and is expected to be particularly valuable for military use It is so built as to go well in swampy and muddy country. In shallow water wheels and propeller may be usee simultaneously; this is a particular ad vantage when Il sand bank is acci dentally encountered in a stream 1 since if 1anUnr nf "OattlnS stuck"
 l Tie power is supplied by 16-hors' | power, four-cylinder motor, whici gives a speed on land of 45 miles pei
 hour. This speed is diminished 1T | water to about 12 miles per hour

Real Estate Market

There is a decided improvement in the tone of the real estate market said Sam Sturgeon. Tt has not become as active as we would like to see, or as we expect to see very shortly, but the fact that thu signs of activity are manifesting ths selves is certainly encouraging
 '\, ith the big industries of the dis trict operating at full capacity and with cotton on a boom real estate is sure to move rapidly to higher price levels. We will, believe, have an uncommonly brisk market before Christmas and brisker marAet still early next year. Everybody is talking prosperity, and the realty busi- ness will not lag behind"

The HOOsier Poet Honored

James Whitcomb Riley was born in Indiana 62 years ago and his birth day was celebrated yesterday with great enthusiasm. There was a ban quet in his honor in Indianapolis last night and prominent men from all parts of the state were present to at test their appreciation of Riley's worth as a citizen and his genius as a bard.
 America has produced many men of letters and not few poets of dis tiction. Longfellow, Whittier. Poe, Bryant, Father Ryan, Walt Whitman, Lanier and John Canister Tabb have

DINING IN JAPAN

OToy III ItSuc <.
 What interested me most was some- thing to eat and opening my mouth to its fullest l pointed in. They motioned me to follow upstairs but I held back showing that I wanted the dining room. not the bedroom. Seeing a door which I thought must be the dining room l pushed it open-but it was the kitchen so thinking that they knew more about things than I did I let them lead me up- stairs. When the girl pushed back the sliding doors my heart crawled down an- other step, for there was only one piece Of furniture in the room-a seat that looked like a two-legged milk stool GOV cred with carpet There wasn't a single chair in the room and no place to hang my hat or coat-nothing except a bare room with a heavy mating on the floor and one of my toes brazenly peeping through my stocking. I started to sit down on the milk stool, but it squirted out from under me while the servant girl made no effort to hide her laughter. Drop ping down on the floor she showed me how to use the milk stool by sitting on the floor and leaning one arm on it like a picture before Pompeii.
 Sh6 took my hat and coat and I won dered where she was going to hang them. for there wasn't a single nail or hook in the room. Carrying them over to the wall, she pushed back a small slid ing door and placed them on shelf and brought me back a kimono that reached only to my knees. She motioned for me to get into it and started down the hall. I got out of my clothes and was just slipping into the kimono when I heard her coming; I called to her to stop, but she did not understand so I wrapped the ki-
 mono around me the best way I could
 and tried to keep it together. for there
 were no buttons on it.
 | On the floor she placed a table and on 1. a pot of tea. The table was just barely a foot high and there was no milk or sugar for the tea, for these things spoil , tea to a Japanese. Then she came with a plate of fish, bowl of rice and little 1 square box with a bamboo tube in 1t, and a bowl In this bowl was a glow of charcoal; soon I puzzled out that this was

 The next dish was something that pug

I worked out piece and ate it and asked her | through signs what it was. She threw out enough for paragraph, but that did not bring me light. l asked her again and
 away she went and came back with a
 book and coming up close pointed tA the

Woe Is Man

Just what the world is coming to is hard to imagine, but there is proof a-plenty that it is becoming a more unsympathetic place for men. One by one mans pet prerogatives have been wrested from him until now he is poor indeed. And as man has lost in pres tige and importance, woman has ad- vanced until the man of the present day is hard put to establish any claim to his time-honored superiority "a superiority that is rapidly becom- ing time-dimmed instead of time honored.
 First, the primitive woman objected to being hitched to the blow, and man accommodatingly tanned the horse and taught it to do this work. Then wom- an objected to the cave method of WOOL ing, and man, ever willing to please, went forth and plucked flowers to adorn her, and even turned poet and composed lyrics to sing to her.
 And so it has gone down through the ages-woman always demanding something new and man always strug- gling to supply that which her ambi- tion or caprice demanded. He has
 IL l.. ite tie and mannish hat, and has mur- mured not. In fact, he has even looked on indulgently and treated the incident with gracious humor-to the extent of submitting alleged jokes to the humorous publications.
 But it is all to no avail. Woman will never be satisfied.
 Apropos this ever imperative de- mand upon mans special privilege, note this instance. A Georgia lady has just secured divorce from her long-suffering husband simply because he always ate the choicest pieces of chicken and left the neck and possibly a wing for his wife, according to the latter's story in court. Or, if the lady were especially hungry, it seems, he ate the whole chicken himself.
 Of course, if the wife were unusual ly hungry, she might crave piece of the fowl she had prepared so carefully but then, didn't her doting husband give her some of the gravy to flavor her potatoes?
 Looking at the subject from the Georgia lady's point of view, he was generous-and again, woman will never be satisfied.
 The wife got the divorce, it seems and of course the judge who granted it was man-but that only goes to show to what extremes man will gc to please woman, even forgetting his obligation to his fellow man.
 Obviously, man will go far in sell sacrifice, but when it comes to sharing the choicest pieces of a crisp, friet chicken-well, that is too much!
 And, viewing the situation from g broad, masculine standpoint, it be comes more and more apparent that the poet was right when he unused tha "man was made to mourn"

THE PANAMA SLIDES

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 There seems a disposition to believe that somebody has blundered at the Panama canal. but we imagine it is not that. The Isthmus of Panama is not a stable strip of terra firma, and no one knew that better than the men who built the canal It is a quagmire with the Cordilleras themselves resting upon a foundation even less secure than that of Chicago. The Gatun lake, which accounts for something like Is of the 40 miles of the canal, is a per- manent risk. The slides in Culebra are probably no greater than the build CTS of the canal fancied they would be at times. Even the sides of a big railroad cut slide down for few years, and that condition is reproduced upon much greater scale at the canal. There are two soft sides and one soft bottom. The only stable thing about the cut through the mountains is the sky. The sky will probably always remain in place; the sides never fol long; the bottom seldom, if ever. When the canal was built, it was con- sidered that in point of time and money more would be saved by dredg- ing the canal out after 1t was built than by shaving the sides back to a point from which they would hardly start anything except under very un- usual conditions. Let us be neither too dubious nor too sanguine about the Panama canal We could not choose the place where it was to be made Nature did that We could only do the best we could do on a very un- stable footing, and we are probably getting no more than our daring de- served. We will weather the storm. We are that kind of bearcats.
