Yesterdays Ocean Horror

The torpedoing and sinking of the Lusitania yesterday will be remem- bered as one of the most terrible epi- sodes of the European war. The world may have become hardened to carnage on the battlefield, and the destruction of cruisers, but the loss of a splendid liner as she was nearing port with 1900 or more passengers aboard, many of whom doubtless perished, was enough to curdle the blood and make humanity protest more vehemently than ever against the modern devices which send to their death innocent men and women.
 The Lusitania was not only one of the strongest and swiftest of modern ships, but in outline was an object of rare grace and beauty. Seen out in midocean it thrilled the imaginative mind as if it's vast mechanism had l been 0uI1ldll. I1du all llit oOulo Dtci saved there would still be lament at the loss of the Lusitania.
 As to the moral side of the cause which sent the great ship to the bot tom is question.
 The passengers who sailed from New York last Saturday felt as if they were running great risk. Some of them had been warned, but the world will mourn those who are lost and will have only sympathy for those near and dear to them.
 There will be an official investiga- tion by the British admiralty and de- tailed reports will be made to the state department at Washington. But there can be little of amelioration for those who are bereft. O, the tragedy | of it all!

War in the Far East Ayerted

As if the titanic war in Europe were not enough to appall the world and hold the stage of tragic action Japan's excessive demands upon China had made very grave situa- tion in the far east.
 It looked to many as if war be- tween China and Japan was inevi- table. But experienced observers of Japan's diplomatic methods and China's unpreparedness for armed conflict could but feel that hostilities would be averted. Japan's demands were modified and China, rather than fight, will accept them.
 The fact that there will be no war in the far east at this time is some- thing for which humanity will send to heaven prayer of thanksgiving. The world will breathe freer, and the United States, whose commercial in terests in China would have suffered if Japan had bounced upon the Asiatic republic, will be quick to rejoice over the outcome of the trouble that had been brewing.

More Hardships of War

American women, it is presumed, have not been entirely deprived of Paris hats and gowns by the war, and whatever obstacles they have en- countered have been compensated for by the skill of American modistes, but the news comes from Belgium that fashionable women of Brussels and other cities are not faring so well. Accustomed to look to Paris for everything considered worthy to wear, they suffer keenly from being out of touch with fashion and their plight is made worse by the fact that the home made productions of Belgium drive them to despair.
 The entrance of all French goods into the country is strictly forbidden As a result there is great uncertain. ty as to what is proper and what is not. Weighty councils are held al which quite as much hard thinking is done as at any council of war ant sometimes daring dressmaker ol milliner crosses the border into Hol-

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

From the Shelby County Sun.
 The outlook for the future is brighten ing.
 Since last August every kind of business has been nearly on a standstill and the prospects for the average wage earner was more than gloomy. When the wage earner is hit, everybody is hit The wage earner is the man that keeps the change in circulation, and he is the man that spends his money literally. The farmers in the south were nearly paralyzed when cotton dropped from 13 cents to cents The cotton was his money crop, and ev- eryone that could possibly hold his cotton did so. thereby the merchants had his goods on the shelf with no purcha sers, so of course there was another cause of par alysis. There being no cotton to export that gave the railroads bad case of paralysis, also all other lines of transpor- tation was in the same fix. Building inn pIovements were stopped, and of course. that parayzed the manufacturers, and when that occurred all were at their rows end.
 All the above was brought about by the sudden beginning of hostilities in the east, and it simply took time for the rest of the world to sit steady in the boat and think, and think, and think until the knotty problem could be worked out? This
 is another guess. The price of cotton has nearly doubled, and much of 1t is being placed on the market. We learn manu- lecturers are receiving orders, and with the war cloud in Europe clearing away gives promise of the near future becoming easier and money more plentiful. With all this in view, our farmers have deter mined to plant less cotton and more food stuff, and at the same time give more at- tention to stock raising and general d- vershcaton of all crops, and then. not till then, will we be among the blessed
 When all the above comes to pass, it then behooves our citizenship to get busy and offer inducements to capital to come and develop our resources. We have iron and coal. all kinds of hardwood, every thing convenient for the manufacturer of lime the finest clay in the world for the making of brick, our soil is as good as there is in the state. and if we can have peace with capital enough industries would be established in Shelby county to cause every farmer to eliminate the planting of cotton and embark entirely in truck farm ing, which is the best money maker of anything the tiller of the soil can do Get the miserable prejudice out of our hides and let the walking delegate know that capital will be protected here, the rest can easily be accomplished. Will we do it?

land, at great personal risk, to pro- vide fashion plates and millinery trimmings from Paris. Business among Belgian dressmakers and drapers has fallen off because many danes of high degree prefer to wear plain tailor-made gowns and simple hats, rather than be out of style.
 A bonnet in imitation of Belgian military caps was designed by some milliner with a streak of genius. These became immensely popular and women wore them to show their pat rictism, but the watchful Germans did not take kindly to the new bon net. Orders were issued that it should no longer be worn and the woman who disobeyed had her hat taken away from her in the street by German sol diers.
 Yet your cynic will point out that Dame Fashions present plight is not an evil of war, but blessing in dis guise, since it is no longer possible for women to spend staggering sums in buying Paris finefy.

ployed to paint pretty word pictures of the climate, the scenery, the golden sunsets and other phases of life along the Pacific coast. Tons and tons of paper were consumed in proclaiming the story of sunny southern Califor- mia. All the way eastward, over the Green mountains and into the bleak ness of Maine this hypnotic literature penetrated. And from Maine to the cast coast of Florida and from the Atlantic all the way back to the Pacific, the glad story was echoed, until at last California's fame be- came nationwide.
 From one nation to another is but a short flight when story is on the wing and now the name of California stands for as much in London, Berlin, Paris, Petrograd or Rome as it does in our own Washington, D. c.
 Little wonder it is that the native sons of California have so well de- veloped ego.
 Little wonder it is that California cast naughty glance at corn-fed Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
 Little wonder that all California is chesty, for California has pro- claimed itself land of fulfillment, has proven it's case and is now reaping the harvest.
 Many other localities-several sec tions of our own Alabama, for in- stance-are endowed by nature much more lavishly than the resources given to California. But where nature left off, pioneer Californians took up the work and with printers ink and ideas completed natures unfinished task.
 California, you are great because you have made yourself great. Your spirit is worthy of admiration.

THE AUTOMOBILE

The idea of the automobile is by no means even within the century. Probably the first scientific hfnt of the wonders that were to be in the way of horseless car- riages was made by Roger Bacon in his "Onus Magnum"
 In March. 1742. there appeared in the London Daily Advertiser the an nouncement of the arrival from Berne. Switzerland, of chaise that travels with out horses. A certain August Pinchbeck either owned constructed another on it's model, for the same paper somewhat later records that "Mr Pinehbecks curi- ous machine chaise that travels without horses ran from Hampstead to Tottenham court in less than 40 minutes in the sight of several hundreds of people,"
 In 1759 the same paper announces that "Mr Ladds patent .four-wleel carriage, that goes without horses and will carry four or five persons at the rate of six miles an hour. is at Mfr. Cooks Great Rooms. Spring Gardens. It is on solid mechanical principles
 Still more celebrated is the sailing char. tot invented by Simon Stevin of Bruges. Belgium. Sterne mentions it in the second volume of Tristan Shandy,' which first appeared in print in 1759. Not much is to be learned following the notice of this machine until sometime after the be- ginning of the nineteenth century. The first steam omnibus, constructed by Wal ter Hancock, ran from the bank of Pad dington, England, in April, 1893. It out stripped parliamentary expectation, for it carried as many as 25 passengers at speed of from 10 to 15 miles an hour. Two years later the same Hancock ran what | is called a steam engine coach between Whitechapel and his house at Stratford | Lady Dorothy Nevil, a nonagenarian when her Leaves" from her notebook was published in 1907. remembers experlments made in her native county of Norfolk as far back as 1S42. In that year an inventor named Parr patented a steam carriage to run for hire between Norwich and Tar mouth In fact, at this time there were as many as 20 steam carriages completed or under way in and around London alone. l It was not however, until more than half a century elapsed before the atrtomo- bile so popular at present. came into gem eral use.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 THE automobile, like almost all inven-
 tions of it's character, has come
 A about through a series of develop ments and it has only reached perfec- ton wherein its use Is practicable of re- cent years. There are a number of claim ants to the honor of having been the orig inator of the automobile, but the person generally credited is a Frenchman named Joseph Cugnot, to whom a monument was raised by his admirers, at his birth place In the Commune of Void, department of the Mouse.
 In 17eS Cugnot constructed a steam carriage, running upon three wheels, one in front and two at the sides, and put in motion by an engine composed of two single action high pressure cylinders, the pistons of which acted alternately on the front wheel. It only travelled one and a quarter miles an hour and would work only for 12 or 15 minutes at a time. But it was an important experiment
 Cugnots steam carriage met with an ac- cident at one of it's trials in Paris, but in spite of this he was granted a pension of oOO uNres, ana HIS lOcOHlOllNe IS Sllii pre- served in museum in the French cap ital and it is no doubt the most interest ing of all machines connected with the early history of steam locomotion. So much for the French claimant.
 The American claimant for the honor of being the father of the automobile is George B. Seden of Rochester, who, after a 16-year struggle with the Washington office, succeeded in 1895 in obtaining a patent for the machine he constructed in 1879. Seden's patent, even after it was obtained, was seriously contested and many suits were the outcome.
 Another American claim for paternity has been put forward by certain enthusi- asts for Robert Dudgeon, who in 1856 in vented and used what he called steam road wagon. The original was shown a, the Crystal Palace exhibition and was de- stroyed when that palace burned down The inventor made a second wagon which was used for business purposes for some time in New York. and after it was for ,, bidden on the streets, the inventor sent il to his country home at Peacocks Point L. l., near Glen Cove, where it is al present.

Building and Plumbing Inspector

City Engineer Julian Kendrick, Tn addition to the manifold duties which ordinarily attach to the engineer office, is to be the building inspector and the plumbing inspector.
 The commission in consolidating these important offices and making the city engineer responsible for all construction and all plumbing has put heavy burden upon hard work ing and exceptionally efficient official, but it was the logical thing to do. Every city engineer who is qualified for his position must be not only a man of technical education but he must have specialized in many direc- tions, including the practical side of architecture and plumbing.
 Some years ago MT. Kendrick as city engineer was required to perform the duties of building inspector. Bir- mingham is much larger city now than it was then, and the building work which has just been assigned to him is many times greater than # used to be. But Mr. Kendrick is a good organizer as well as great engineer and he will carry out the new mandate of the city commission to the highest satisfaction of the ruhlic

The Busitania

"The Lusitania, which was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine was indeed magnificent vessel" said zac Smith, Jr., of Birmingham. This huge English liner with It's sister ship, the Mauretania, outranked all others in point of speed and at the
 time they were launched they were, l
 believe, the largest afioat But since
 then the Vaterland, Imperator and the
 Olympic, all of somewhat larger ton
 mage, have been constructed for English
 and German lines.
 sThe two German line vessels, the
 Vaterland and the Olympic-the worlds
 largest ships-were tied up on account of the war; but the Lusitania and it's sister ship continued to ply the stormy
 Atlantic despite repeated threats on the
 part of the Kaisers submarine fiotilla, "1t was indeed a catastrophe that
 such splendid and speedy vessel as the Lusitania should have been de- stroyed. In fact I can hardly realize that this has come to pass. It seems
 only yesterday that l boarded for the first time in 1918 this vessel with 6 pdfly at New Ofk en route to llOnuOil It proved a most enjoyable voyage, and when l decided to visit the old country again in 1914 I persuaded my party to embark with me for another voyage on the Lusitania.
 This vessel of course was lavishly equipped, and its appointments were perfect Indeed it rivaled in point of luxury and magnifcence any European palace which have visited. I have made some 15 trips across the Atlantic, but this last voyage on the Lusitania was the most delightful of them all.

From the Houston Post.

From the Houston Post.
 HHE address of pr. W. c. Rucker, as-
 sistant surgeon general of the pub
 4 lie health service, before the State Medical association at Fort Worth, on the danger of bubonic plague, was a timely utterance that was just as important for the people generally, especially of the coast country, as for the professional men to whom it was spoken. and 1t is especlai- ly important at this time or the year when all cities and towns have their cleah- up movements.
 There is no incident of a city cleaning movement more vital than that of rat de- struction, because it has been abundantiy demonstrated that the rat is the carrier of the feas that disseminate buoonlc plague Nearly all ships are infested py rats, and the method of dissemination l is simple. The rodents of ships from m l fected ports always seek the snore wnen ,si 1 the vessels dock. and they consort with | the common wharf rats and spread the
 fleas. The town rats get from one place to another in freight cars or boats and barges and in this way these fieas are
 brought into contact with the people. with
 the attendant peril.
 1 The precautionary measure against bu- l bonic plague Is rat destruction in all the coast country, so that if rats from ships hailing from infected points should reach , the shore, there will be no shore rats for
 them to consort with With the ports talk | ing every precaution by means of rat guards to prevent rats from leaving the
 ships, and also killing local rats, bubonic l plague may be averted.
 Such ports as Galveston. New Orleans,
 Mobile and other southern -ts have long ago conducted incessant warfare a linst
 all rats. Cities and towns in the vicinity of the ports should do likewise. es- pecially should Houston wage deter
 mined warfare against rodents, of which vast numbers infest the cities. And this
 work should be done now. Every business concern and private family can render ma terial aid in the work, bit it must be organized and placed n the hands of ex- pert rat catchers to 3e efk,cfive. It may interest m,lny fesS to know

 'We had a most interesting convention and all of us enjoyed Annistons hospital ity," said Mir Tayloe.
 Many important matters were consd- cred and disposed of, among them the question of our diocese entering the prov ince of Sewanee. Bishop Beckwith was opposed to the provincial proposition and he was ably supported in a speech by the Rev Mr. Claybrook of Birmingham but the convention decided in favor of the diocese connecting itself with the province.
