The Autos Influence.
the Birmingham Age-Herald.

i"h birmingham Age Herald.
The practical benefits derived from
the prevalence of the automobile have
been exhaustively dwelt upon. but there
has been a tendency to overlook some
of the indirect benefits that have new
ertheless vast influence upon Ameri
can life. The Improvement in road
building all over the country has been
very largely due to the prevalence of
the auto. The greatest benefit the auto
has wrought is possibly the bringing
together of country and city and its
Influence toward outdoor life. Country
districts are no longer isolated. The
auto-that annihilator Of distance
has made it possible for the farmer and
his family to close a days affairs on
the farm and then go to lecture or
theate in a city many miles distant.
The auto has robbed rural districts of
loneliness and deprivation. and has
largely solved the problem of keeping
the hoyt and girls in the farm home.
ON the other hand. il may he urged
that the craze for the automobile has
taken such strong hold upon not only
the Well-to-do. but the people of mod
crate means. that substantial comforts
are sacrificed for the purchase of an
automobile - homes are sometimes
mortgaged that an auto may be had.
This is bad feature. but it is also
true that practically every other good
invention has been abused put to
wrong uses. But the automobile has
become so great factor in present
day life. so intimately associated with
culture and progressiyeness, that
traveller estimates a community visited
by the number of automobiles con-
aimed in it.

One of the most painful experiences
which it is mans misfortune to under
go is listening to the organ al movie

Probably the showmen are correct in
their judgment of public appetite and
justified in advertising their expensive
pipe organs. Probably the fumbling
hands of the musician who keeps pace
with Chaplin's comic capers adds
necessary touch to the comedian s
elaborate clumsiness. Certainly the
sweet sobbng notes which these or
gans seem espe cially fitted to give forth
lend a poignancy to the death scene
movies, it appears. are benefited by
music. 1t contributes something of
Importance to them.
But will not the movies also con-
tribute something to music" NJ. Saint
Saens in his recollections complains
that the chief ability of the French or
ganist--ipp rovisa tion-has succumbed
to the fugue and to the influence of the
German school Certainly the presenta-
ton of music in moods parallel to those
of the celluloid rolls have been thus far
improvisations,a and will continue TO be,
except in Ella borate films. where equally
elaborate orchestration is provided.
Perhaps out of the movies will grow
not only the virtues of improvisa ton,
but a whole school of American music,
of the people and for the people, if not
by the people. The dance has brought
in certain kinds of organized noise
which pass under the name of music
But the movies, which touch upon
American life in many more aspects
and many more moods, may bring forth
music as diversified as they are them
selves.

Tobacco in the Trenches.
m the Springfield Republican

FROM me Spffngneif kcpupnran-
While the war has caused wide
spread crusade against spirits. tobacco
has been coming in for many kind
words. and science has been adding its
tribute. AS long ago as 1870 the Lon
don Lancet reported that in the French
and German armies tobacco was found
of great value for relieving nervous
tension: For the wounded It is prob
able that tobacco has slight anodyne
and narcotic properties that enable the
sufferer to sustain pain better during
the day and to obtain sleep during the
night" The present war has called
forth much testimony from doctors to
the same effect, and. SO far as has been
noted no contrary voice has been
raised Soldering is a hard life, and
no small comforts that can be pro-
vided are grudged. of the gifts sent
to the front none have evoked more
gra titude than pipes and tobacco. and
there is little danger of their abuse.
