 KOREANS DIVORCE"
 Lionel Barrymore and Grace Valentine are co-stars in "Dorian's Divorce" a five part Metro subject at the Rialto theatre on Friday and Saturday. This is a story of a man who would not take life seri- ously--not even his wife. He and his beautiful young bride finally agree to di- vorce, but quarrel on deciding the pro- cedure of this popular sport. In this mat ter of indecision lies the interest of the play which finally eliminates in the in teresting fact that the young couple loved each other all the tAne--but simply needed dramatic climax'to bring them closer together.

OUTDOOR SPORTS AT EASTLAKE PARK Lovers of Aquatics Finding Much Pleasure at the
 Popular Resort

Birmingham lovers of outdoor sports are beginning to realize that the East Lake park beach is an exceptionally finely arranged place to swim. Every thing for the convenience of bathers has been installed and the bathing fla cilitieS are a hundred per cent better than ever before. The bottom of the bathers' area is covered with thick layer of chert which does away with the usual unpleasantness of inland bathing. Capt. J. N. Seymour, Jr., has charge of the bathing beach and he is stickler for having absolute order among bathers He is practically. ali. ways, on duty and employs profess sional life guards to see to the safety of bathers The most pleasant feature of the bathing is the freshness of the water, the lake being fed by natural springs that empty five million gall Ions of water into the lake daily. Board walks have been built out over the wa ter and the beach has been furnished with many devices for the entertain ment of bathers in the form of spring boards, platforms. diving tower and water baseball diamonds. A match wa ter baseball game is now being ar- ranged. the date of the game not yet known, but will be announced later. The bath houses have practically been refurnished and rebuilt and equipped with shower baths. This is a pleasant feature that is appreciated by the pat rons of the beach.

Learn to discuss topics of the day
intelligently. Prove yourself a good
listener when you meet men who are
better Informed. 1t is advisable to
make point of questioning new ac-
quaintances on the subjects they know
the most about.
Regarding the moral attributes l can
advocate nothing better than these
two precepts-the Golden Rule, DO
unto others as you would have them
do unto you," and Be temperate in
all things" As to what constitutes
temperance, that varies with the indi-
vidual, and must be left to his discre-
tion.
If you don't like the rules and con-
ventions of society, don't be childish
enough to break them. Think, study
their origin and purpose. and if you
still don't approve, go to country
where the customs suit you better. If
a man doesn't drink he's fool to
hang around saloons.
In mentioning the spiritual as one
of the human attributes, did not
mean essentially the creeds of any re-
ligious organization, although many
find the highest spiritual satisfaction
in such institutions. Whatever a
mans belief may be, there is vital
something missing if he fails to appre-
ciate the infinite, spiritual charm of a
beautiful landscape, music, or poetry.
1t is this cognizance of the sentient
beauties of nature and aesthetic art
that lifts man above the automatism of
a machine. recognizing merely physi-
cal realities.
Although essentially distinct, the
four human attributes are closely in
terdependent. A sound body breeds
an active mind, and vice versa. The
mental and spiritual elements may
seem at variance, yet their very antag-
onism is source of strength.

exercise. Many inactive Office work
ers claim good health, but they cannot
say how much better health they
would enjoy if their muscles were not
permitted to become soft and flabby.
We all know of scores of young ath-
letes who allowed their bodies to run
to seed in the Office, until, owing to
lack of exercise. the once hardened
muscles we're transformed into a mass
of fat. From that stage the road in
evitably leads to hardened arteries and
an early death due to heart failure. If,
unfortunately, you have been denied
an education at school, get it at home.
Above all things cultivate the reading
habit. The people who rarely read
are usually unspeakably ignorant and
uninteresting. Very few who read
much read much trash. Read the
standard works first, and then peruse
whatever you prefer. Only make sure
that at least three-fourths Of what you
read, whether it be fiction, science or
what not, is good stuff. If alone, a
man should never enter a street car or
train without book or paper of some
sort.

They have acquired a widely diversi-
fed variety of tastes resulting in
sense of appreciation of all points of
view-lending a remarkably clear
judgment to their decisions. Leonardo
di Vinci was noted both as an artist
and engineer. TO Kant and Spencer
belonged the power of impartially
separating the emotional from the
logical. In our own country we see
Theodore Roosevelt as the greatest
we'll balanced man of today. Every
body knows of his physical prowess,
his moral courage, his scientific and
literary abilities, coupled with deep
ly spiritual nature.
Very few of us can ever become
genluses or great men in the balanced
sense. yet it is within the power of
most of us to become we'll balanced
men and at the same time increase our
attainments. 1t is the inexorable duty
of every member of humanity to make
himself as valuable as possible to the
world. This can best be accomplished
by making the most of ones talents
in addition to overcoming our Unborn
deficiencies.
First learn what your talents are.
This can be done by combination of
practical experience and self. analysis.
Know thyself," as Solomon enjoined.
After choosing for your life work that
occupation which combines your nat
Eral talents with the opportunities in
volved to the best advantage, you are
free to develop your weak attributes.
If your failing is of physical nature,
get after it at once. A carefully Sc
lected amount of exercise, taken reg
ularly. will invariably produce abun-
dant muscularity. In case of poor
health it is we'll to have physician
prescribe the program of exercise.
There are few persons who would not
be better off for regular program of

A well-balanced man is one in whom
the four elements of humanity are de-
veloped as nearly equally as possible.
These attributes are the mental, moral,
physical and spiritual. 1t is unfortu-
nate that we all possess prejudices and
tendencies enabling us to accomplish
notable achievements along one or
more of these paths, else the world
would be filled with race of cold,
monotonous beings all of the same
type.
The greatest figures in the history
of humanity include both persons who
possessed very large development OF
one of these attributes or those whose
faculties are we'll balanced and all de-
veloped to degree above the average.
Among the first class we find most of
the geniuses. The erratic tendencies
of famous artists. poets, musicians are
familiar to all. These people are alb
normally developed along aesthetic
lines, but this is counterbalanced by
woeful deficiency in the practical as
poets of life.
The other class of great mea are dis
tinguished by many sides of character.

"CALLED BEATRICE"

By J. f. F..
Shes singing tonight the old "husho'
The world has known for a million
years,
And on her face is the mother glow,
For she has the Gift that binds, endears;
o. life and love are so grand and good!
Out of the world all fret has fled;
She's wearing Gods badge of Mother
hood
A new little mite of a tousle-head
The song of a rocking crib is sweet
To him as he bends for loves embrace;
And oh, the glory of dimpled feet
And kisses damp on his furrowed face!
What have this twain to do with tears
AS they sit by in loves afterglow?
There's all the sweetness of all the years
In the mother new, and the crooned
"husho."

BIG SERVICE
 BY STEAMERS
 NEXT SUMMER
Pacific Steamship Co. Will Add Steamer to the Southeastern Run
 for Tourists.
OTHER PLANS OUTLINED

Private advices have been re- ceived in Juneau giving information of an increase in the schedule and number of boats operated to Alas ka by the Pacific Steamship Company during the next summer season. The proposed schedule has not been ofil- cially approved as yet, but the ad- vices received are to the effect that it will probably be adopted.
 The schedule. as planned calls for the City of Seattle, Spokane, Admir- al Watson to operate on the South eastern Alaska route, with the Ad- miral Farragut, Admiral Evenas, Ad- miral Schley and Admiral Dewey on the westward run. This will make seven boats on the run and will all low for sailing from Seattle every day and a half.
 The Canadian Pacific Company has announced unofiicially that the three boats. the Princess Alice, So- phia, and Charlotte will be operat- ed during the summer, the Charlotte making three round trips.
 The Alaska Steamship Company has made no announcement of theiI proposed schedule as yet, but 1t is understood that more boats will be operated than last year. The Grand Trunk Company will operate two boats on an alternative schedule during the summer and the Al-Kl and Humboldt will maintain their regular runs.
 All steamship and railway officials look for one of the largest tourist seasons in the history of the north during the coming summer, and ex- pect it to even exceed the travel of this year. The steamship compan- ies operating boats to Alaska are making strenuous efforts to care for the expected increase in travel in a proper manner.

ALASKA MUD SHARK
 HAS A REAL VALUE

For a long time deemed worthless, the Alaskan mud shark, which is found in the mud flats of Northern waters in great numbers has been found to have value. says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of Dec 10th. J. F. Layarne, of Seward, who is a guest lat the Stevens, has prepared .ar. ming process that makes available fer industrial use the hide of the mud shark He has brought down samples Of the leather, which shoe and automobile trimming companies have asked for.
 Yesterday Mr. Layarne had a con. ference with Dr. II. F. Moore, depu. ty United States Commissioner of Fisheries. ant today he Win confer with President Henry Suzzailo, Of the University of Washington, re. garding scientific experimentation with the hide and its tanning pro. cess.
 The sharks for years have been caught in fish traps and on halibu: lines, but have been considered with out value and have always been thrown away after being killed MT Lavarne caught hundreds of them ir his fish traps. but until g. P. Stog- net, fisherman who was working for him and who had been tanner in Germany. began experimenting with the hide of the shark, it did no; occur 10 him that there might he value in the hide.
 We have brought out 397 hides of the mud shark, which we are 50. ing to tan in Seattle. and then mar ket the leather" said Mir. Lavarne. "The leather should be worth $1G0 Q pound, with about $500 an aver age value for skin. We also look forward to utilizing the oil ot the shark for industrial uses and the after making contracts with dealers in the states for the sale of the hides. A tannery will be established in Seattle to take care of the prep, aratiop of the leather The leather of the mud shark is soft and smooth. IS impervious to water and looks somewhat like hog skin.
 Next year 1t is the intention of Mr. Lavarne and his associates m the. enterprise to go into the shark catching business on a bigger scale meat for fertilizer"
