 For Mrs. Bruce, who lifted herself by the sheer force of her beauty and her ability from the humble calling of maid
 in Boston to the position of mistress or one of the finest estates in Great Brltaih' as the wife of the heir to the barony. is here to enter the movies if, as she says
 'she is tempted enough"
 It was in 1899 that Camille Otterson, a Norwegian girl, b years old. of wonder ful beauty, took passage on board the Pa vonia of the Cunard Line for the lana or promise and dreams. On board the vessel her beauty fascinated the passengers ana she made the trip in the first-class cablhs, although she had started in more modest quarters. The change was due to the de- sire of many kindly, admiring women 10 have the beautiful girl near them. Arrived In Boston, Camille Otterson, in- dependent, beautiful and irreproachable, went her way, and it led her to place as a maid in household. How long she kept that position is a matter of conjecture but three years later she applied for place as a chorus girl in the Prince of Pilsen'' company, being formed Tn Boston by Henry Savage. Her statuesque beauty and grace easily assured her a place, and | it was not long before Camille Clifford, as {, she became known, was carving niche for herself in the land behind the foot | lights.
 i Ten years ago she went to London with the Prince of Pilsen' company, and be- cause she was tall and resembled in type the pictures Charles Dana Gibson was | drawing she was chosen as the "Gibson i Girl'' and became famous overnight Nearly every one remembers 'Why Dc They Call Me the Gibson Girl?' She

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 If conscience doth make towards, it also makes something like hero now and
 then from unpromising material. A man
 who was implicitly trusted made his get
 away" from Sing Sing last Saturday
 nieht Friends in New York gave him
 $150 and provided him with an automo-
 bile. All that he had to do was to jump
 into it and speed away to a new birth
 of freedom in the west. Then conscience
 got to work. It told him that his action
 would reflect on the prisoners still behind the bars. The members of the Mutual Welfare league would be mistrusted be- cause of his deed. To the entire number
 of convicts the stigma would attach that belonged to him alone. So Tough Tony
 Mareno closed his eyes to the prospect of liberty, returned to the jail, and gave him. self up to the authorities.
 The most cheering circumstances in con- nection with the story is it's lack of singu- larity. Sing Sing holds many other men who under the like conditions would do | the same thing It is a grave error to assume that man lodged in jail has for I feited his honor. Because his virtuous l resolves broke down, because he was i tempted and went wrong, it does not fol :; low that his integrity died, and his sense i of shame is paralyzed forever. The mod ern theory is that prison is for regener- | ation as well as incarceration. Stone walls do not prison make. The en' frightened administrator. thinks it his duty
 to send better man out into the world | for a second chance.

Penny Slot Scales Gone

People here and in all the cities oi Alabama will miss the penny slot scales that were found in drug stores ana other places of business" said pr. D. Hughson, the Ridgely apartment drug gist.
 Those useful devices supplied e real want. They were kept clean and in good
 order otherwise But the states hlgh license tax drove them away. Here in Birmingham, the license state, county and city-amounted to S1750 for each scale. The proprietors were willing to pay reasonable llcense' They offered the state $3 for it's part but the authorities would not enter tain such a proposition. As there were 1900 of these scales in Alabama the state treasury would have recelVeo
 s360O year. But as a total of slS'ooo had been paid $360o looked very small.
 But the state had have better accepted the offer, for now it gets nothing rom this source.
 The scales disappeared last Moh- day and they are, I regret to say prob ably gone forever"

Buildinr Prospects, Good

"There was more building in Bir- mingham last fall than during the same period of 1914 There has been, in fact' q very decided improvement, but small compared with what we builders have reason to expect this spring, salo Charles M Allen, the contractor.
 T am having many inquiries for estl- mates of various classes of buildings, and other contractors are having the same experience Prosperity is manifest ing itself more and more each month. This is going to be fine year TOT business and I believe that spring Will see the beginning of a new building boom.
 some people have wondered WHY there was so little building activity IF Birmingham last year. They did not know that our line of business was no dul1er here than in other cities. Many hui1ding mechanics who left BlrmlnS- ham looking for work, came bacK say = ing that after all this city was lh pet fer condition than Atlanta and other nlaces where they had sousth enplo9 ment. When depression prevails here IL usuallv prevails to the same extent else where: sometimes it is far worse Tn oth- CT cities But thrift is now general anu will soon have all can do.

"The Alabama field trials when peslh at Decat,1r next Monday will be the DIE event of the season, so far as the Aocai contingent of dog fanciers is concerheo' said Col. T. T. Ashford, one Of the mosl successful and enthusiastic field sports men of the state.
 "In addition to the fact that the pest dogs in Alabama will be entered III the contest. the occasion vii, be a get-to- eether meeting of dog owners who are Ill the game for the love of the spot and not for any remuneration in the way or prl%e money they may perchance receive. mere will he a total absence of professlohalisih in these field trials and everyone who en- +ers a dog will have only one object Tn viaw and that will be that the best dog may win.
 ..In connection with the field trials, J. r. Harding. representing the Gramont Mov- inc Picture company of New York, stated he would be on hand and take picture of the field trials from the assembling oi the sportsmen and their ladies at th' hotel to the close of all the events. lie said that no picture Of a genuine 1eio trial had ever been taken in the unlteo States and that the Decatur field trials had been selected by his company because if was an occasion in which commercial ism did not enter.

Demand for Preparedness

Since President Wilson's admins tration directed public attention to the inadequacy of this countrys coast defenses and to the need of a larger army and larger navy, en- lightened sentiment has crystallized in favor of legislation that will make for national security,
 The ultra -pacifists started out to defeat all measures for preparedness, but their un-American propaganda makes small headway. Congress will find difficulty in reaching an agree ment as to details of national defense plans, but as is always the case in disposing of momentous problems, compromises will be in order
 Secretary of War Garrison's recom- mendation for the creation of a con- tinental army has not made the ap- peal to military men that the admin istration had hoped it might. Chair man Hay of the House military com mittee proposes as more practica way of expanding the country's re serve force the building up of the Ma tional Guard He believes in placing the guard on pay basis.

THE BENEFACTIONs OF 1915
New York World.

From the New York World.
 Among private benefactions the largest single gift in the whole world during 1915- an endowment of $75,0O0,OOO for war vic tims-was attended by two interesting circumstances.
 One is that the gift was made in New Zealand, which newly settled, partly de- veoped and comparatively small country
 in consequence stands ahead of rich and mighty America and all other countries in the years record of generosity The second is that it was given by woman.
 In fact, of the aggregate of private do- nations for beneficient purposes in 1915 more than half was given by the women of the world. This is eloquent of the huge portion of the worlds weath that is now under the trusteeshp of women and of the wise use they are making of it. That these women gave their money to benevolent purposes is not as surprising as that they had so much money to give.
 The women are assuming part of ever increasing importance in the field of business. They exemp'ify in peculiarly gratifying ways the impulses of human sympathy and generosity. The total of all world benefactions is S00o,OoOO00. It is a huge sum, but the woes which it is designed to relieve are colossal. The blackest year in all mod ern history makes powerful appeals to generosity.
 This $500O0O,000 in donations of persons who in the giving wrote themselves down among those who love their fellow men would probably pay the war costs of Ger many and the allies for at least one week.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Birmingham's Noises

There are more various brands or noises in Birmingham than in any city Of three times it's size and population" said A. C. Holt.
 ''The man whose duties require him to sleep during the day realizes the fact more forciby than anyone else. The rail roads were forced to muzzle the whistles on their engines, and it must be said with few exceptions the rule or law has been lived up to; but whistles away off, mostly on the outskirts of the city, are not to be compared with the coal peddlers, the fruit and vegetable wagon peddlers, and the sidewalk garage repair shops, to say noth- ing of the continual honk of the automo- bile.
 "These noises are brought right to your front door, and under your very nose, ana some of them would no doubt come into your bedroom if they dared, The most complete nuisance of them all, according to the day sleepers, are the fruit and vegetable vendors, yelling at the tops or their voices to the accompaniment of some fellow changing the tires on his automo- bile just across the street, or perhaps In front of your own house, beating on the
 iron rim to get the tire into place.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-14

done, he thinks that within a con- paratively short time the ranks could be recruited up to 100000. The nu- merical strength of the National Guard is now only about 125, 1000.
 The plan for continental army calls for only two months training each year; two months of service with the colors. The National Guard is in training all the year round, and is therefore kept up to a standard ap- preaching that of the regular estab- lishment. It may be that the Secre- tary of War will abandon his "con- tinental" project for Chairman Hays plan for increasing the guard.
 But as much as the military branch of defense needs expanding the navy needs it still more. Notwithstanding the fact that the United States has a large navy, it is not large enough and will not be until it is equal in size and modern equipment to the best Great Britain's. The entente powers would have been conquered by the Teutons early in the war but for England's matchless navy. AS MT Balfour said recently, pointing to a screen picture of the grand fleet, that lis all that has saved us.'
 The next big war after the Flu ropean conflict is over will, humanly speaking, grow directly out of trade competition. Great Britain may never attack the United States, but such an act is quite thinkable. Ties of friendship between nations are easily broken when commercial supremacy is in question.
 This country must be prepared for eventualities It takes time to build battleships and cruisers The admin istration's five-year naval pro- gramme, to cost $500, ,000,000, or something like it, should be adopted by Congress, no matter how much the army bills are pared

STEPHEN PHILLIPS
|, the New Repuhlic.

From the New Republic.
 Because they mistook a familiar design for new manifestation of beauty the critics, big and little, wrote wrongly about his narrative poems and his poetic plays. Tennyson had trained generation 10 pe- leve that the production of certain ca dences and certain images meant a poetic creation. Stephen Phillips produced the expected cadences and images almost per fectly. For that he was hailed as the successor not only of Tennyson, but of all the accepted poets. He wrote plays
 which had the spectacle that delights the
 crowd and he was able to give to the per
 sonases of that spectacle lines which had
 all the associations of poetry. He had
 acted with the Bensons; he knew what
 was effective on the stage, and he under stood how to make verse that an actor could speak. All this was journeyman's
 knowledge, and it was the grievous error of the critics that it appeared to them as the insight of the creator. His prime
 failure-his failure to create character was not publicly perceived. In none of
 his plays is it anything within the people themselves that brings them into the tragic entanglement.
 | They who wronged Stephen Phillips were the men who praised his least per- sonal work Iii such extravagant terms as made it inevitable that he should be flung down by men who regarded poetry as dis" tinctive creation. His verse plays should
 have been received as equivalents to new stage decorations, and he should have ! been given the proper need of praise for 1 them. He honored beauty as he saw it 1 and poetry as he read 1t, and he wrote 1 some poems that really come out of an individual experience.

 Little Verses and Big Names" recent ly publ shed, has some of the smallest verses, both as to quantity and quality, in the history of poetry, and it can boast of some of the biggest names in our con temporary life. Only three of the poets shall be mentioned here. Myron T.
