Red Cross Seals

Among the many interesting letters received at headquarters of the Red Cross Seals campaign is one from Miss Maud Lindsay of Sheffield and Florence, remarked Dr. George Eaves.
 Miss Lindsay is known everywhere as an enthusiast in child study and kinder garten work, wherein she has national fame She has thrown herself heartily into the fight for the peoples life against tuberculosis, and serves as secretary of the Colbert and Lauderdale associations. During the summer work was done there along similar lines to that of the Bir- mingham open air school. She now writes, in reporting sales of seals to date:
 I believe we shall have an excel lent report to make from Lauderdale this year. The people over there have seen so much done with the money we made last year that they are more interested.
 Everywhere it is the same story. Peo- pie will help where they see work being done. How hearty should be the re- sponse in Birmingham, where more Is be- ing carried on than in all the rest of the state"

CURRENT LITERATURE

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Simeon Strunsky writes in Harper s Magazine as follows:
 Tt is odd about the bookstalls of New York. Uptown the booksellers windows are crammed with the latest;' the latest of Shaw, Bennett, Romain, Roland, Dun- sany, Tchekoff Chambers, McCutcheon, Jack London, Kathleen Norris, the war correspondents, the efficiency engineers, the success howlers. all the names and titles you saw last Saturday in the pub fishers notices or read about in the Literary Notes, technically known to us in the profession as 'slush. But the classics are good enough for the money diggers, the tired business men, the cut throat competitors of downtown.
 ''Balzac, Epictetus, Benjamin Franklin, Thackeray, Thomas Paine Walter Scott, Voltaire and the standard encyclopedias are the bulk of the downtown shop keepers trade: together, it is true, with books on poultry raising, card games. 100 selected parlor tricks and files of flag nous magazines for 1886, or whereabouts. In other words, the traditional, solid literary virtues have their stronghold in the shadow of the skyscrapers. The TO- nance of the skyscrapers is sung by new novelists and poets, whose works are to

JUDGE seAB'' OF BIRMINGHAM

From the Sheffield Standard.
 TN OWN in big Birmingham there's a II y judge that has reputation un- - equaled in the matter of law en- forcement, and in dealing humanely with the lower classes that comprise a great part of that big industrial section. The judge presides over what is called ''mu- nicipal court"-a court whose Jurisdiction
 When the court was first created it was criticised by many as being useless ex- penditure, but after it's operation for a few months the critics became the great est boosters. The old system of justice of peace, with their coterie of "snatchers'' was done away with: frivolous. prose- cutions for debt were broken up, and the negroes-a charge upon the white people-found a place where they were meted out even-handed justice.
 From time to time, as the legislature would meet, additional powers were given the court and an additional judge added, but still the docket of the first judge of the court continued to show three-fourths of the cases to be heard-lawyers and liti- gants realized that the first division was a working court and that no long de- lays were necessary, hence the greater vision.

EXIT PIRATES ANn COWBOYS
From the New York World.

From the New York World
 Tn his love of romance. Prof. Thomas Stockton Baker finds the American boy has discarded his old heroes and turned away from his favorite pirates and In- dian fighters. The kingdom of boyhood is ruled by the adventurers who navi- gate the sea in submarines and sweep through the clouds in airoplanes. Un- der the influence of the war in Europe the workings of the juvenile imagina- tion have undergone swift and dan- gerous change.
 After all, it is not surprising that the healthy, alert youngster, should in- vest with fancy events that he hears his olders daily discuss and should live them over in his hours of play. That the American Indian and cowboy are played out may be largely the fault of Buffalo Bill for retiring. If the ideals Eof piracy are essential to the moral
 
 other popular play may help to safe- guard the future welfare of the race.
 It is not yet time to despair because high power motor cars and undersea boats and flying machines occupy the |attention of the normal boy in his idle hours. It would be really painful if he were devoting his time to unravelling the tangled skein of old world diplo- macy and determining the exact terms of peace on which the belligerents shall agree.
 As for the American girl, has any lof our eminent psychologists experi- enced a sinking of the heart at the thought that she may abandon her paper dolls and amuse herself by play ing at Red Cross nursing and muni- tions- making? If she does, will she re- cover, or head straight for eternal per. dition, like her little brother whose mind runs to the mechanics of war?

 It may be added that many of the read CTS of the literature which time has es- tablished, while the same passing of time has destroyed many books. read for en- tertainment, and not in the pursuance of a deliberately and proclaimedly iEtel- lectual life. The voracious readers of the sort of current literature which MT. Strunsky finds on sale along Broadway are consciously, aggressively, sometimes extensively, intellectual persons who are ready to fight to uphold their philoso- phers, the fictionists or essayists of the hour; ready to condemn as Philistines those who do not fall in with the view that the latest fad of the stage is the greatest problem the stage has seen stated or solved. Nineteenth of the books they are reading this year, and a ma jority of the plays, will be forgotten by 1930. The books MT. Strunslly finds down. town will be read as before, for solid en- tertainment, by the unpretentious many. The readers of current literature will be hard at the task of devouring enor- nous piles of new best sellers, written by new generation of busy, prosperous. professional writers by new generation of busy, prosperous, professional writers many of whom take their own thoughts and problems less seriously than they are taken by those to whom they best sell.

CHRISTMAS TREES ORIGIN

From the Peoples Home Journal
 A beautiful myth concerning the Christmas tree, the fir, is connected with St Winifred. In the early part of the eighth century while this famous mission ary was hewing down the sacred oak which his pagan people had been wor- shipping-a tornado blasted it. Just be- hind it, unharmed by the whirlwind, stood young fir tree, pointing green spire to the stars. Winfred turned to his followers and said:
 This little tree, a young child of the forest, shall be your holy tree tonight. It is the wood of peace, for your homes less life, for it's leaves are always green. See how it points upward to heaven. Let this be called the tree of the Christ Child. Gather about it; not in the wild woods, but in your own homes; there is will shelter no deeds of blood but loving gifts and acts of kindness
 A quaint old writer thus spiritualizes the practice of Christmas decorations 'So our churches and houses. decked with bays and rosemary. holly and ivy and other plantss which are always green winter and summer. signify and put us ir mind of His Diety, that the Child that now is born, was God and man, who should spring up like a tender plant should always be green and flourishing, and should live forever more" Festive carols were chanted at Christmas fr praise of the evergreen, the holly, the rosemary and the bay.

Holiday Shopping
 and Charity Gifts

HHHE few days that remain tor
 J holiday shopping will be busy days, and the best of it is Santa Claus will remember rich and poor alike. Little children will soon be counting the hours when stockings will be filled and when the half grownups will watch with eager expectancy for gifts appropriate to the season.
 But the happiest episodes of the Yuletide are found in acts of charity. Providing for the orphans and the in- digent brings not only joy and sun shine into the lives of those needing sympathy and aid, but the reflex eI- feet upon the men and women con- tributing to charity funds is essential ly uplifting. No festival of the year is so rich in it's gladstone promptings as Christmas, and in this prosperous community the present season should witness unstinted bounty.
 The large sale of Red Cross seals for the benefit of the Anti-Tuberculo- sis association is highly encouraging to all who are laboring to check the spread of the white plague. A year ago a goodly sum was realized by the sale of Christmas seals, but this week the total will be far larger. Within the next three or four days the sale should be unusually brisk. Certain it is that no kindly man, woman or child will let the week pass without invest ing a few cents at least in the beauti- ful Red Cross tokens.
 There are innumerable ways we can help the suffering, but none is quite so appealing perhaps as that through the medium of the seals. Let's make this notable Christmas in good deeds.

Too Much Boastin z

According to P. H. Linnehan, a well known jeweler, there is little too much boasting in Birmingham for the good of the town. little more concrete effort. stated MT. Linnehan, would be of great material benefit to the city.
 ''We talk too much" said MT. Lime han, "of how great Birmingham is. In fact we talk so much about it that we are doing nothing to make Birmingham great and as a natural consequence we are faced with the positive fact that every city in the United States of the same size as Birmingham shows much larger bank clearings and also more general pros perity. In other words while we have been talking others have been doing things. Isn't it about time for us to get together in reality and start things humrning again or are we to succumb to physical inertia while our tongues are idly wagging on theoretical greatness?'
