A Pleasing Feature

"One of the most pleasing features have noticed in the Paramount picto- graphs at the Strand theatre" said Secretary Clarence Lloyd of the city commission yesterday, is that which represents a periodical of motion pho tographs in which all the enlightening subjects of the day are placed before the audience.
 These photographs are educational novelties-the most attractive I have seen in movie theatres in years Of course the preparedness movement is now at it's height and the movies are taking their share of the responsibility of shaping public opinion on that issue, but the photograph emphasizes it by reproducing the speaker in action and then his words It is very impressive.
 There are also various other fea- lures of the photographs that should hold the interest of the public. There is department to make you think by Hugo Munstensburg and the political cartoons from the Bray studios are al- ways timely. Tn fact seeing the picto- graphs is more than half the show and it is worth while in the busy hour of any business man."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-29

the methods of government experts and others who have devoted them selves to the work of safeguarding the lives of miners have been put into practical operation. Although the bu- reau of mines has not received the ac- tive cooperation of many agencies throughout the United States, 1t has decreased the appalling number of fa- talities which were formerly taken as matter of course in the coal min ing industry. Secretary Lane of the department of the interior stated re- gently that the report indicates very forcibly to me that Safety First has come to stay in the coal mining in- dustry and that it is being practiced more assiduously in mining camps than ever before" |"
 More than quarters of mil lion men were employed in the coal mines of the United States last year. Of this number 2264 were killed, be- ing 19O less than in 1914, and 521 less than in 1913. However, more than two thousand lives year is a heavy toll to pay, even in the gigantic coal industry. The Safety First" cam paign may still be considered in it's infancy and with proper cooperation between employees and employers in the future there will be much great CT reduction in the number of casual ties.
 The bureau of mines has done a great work, but life cannot be safe guarded without the help of the op- orators and the men who are directly affected.

NEWSPAPER CRITICS

From the PittSburg Sun
 There are two positions which every American believes he can fill accept ably. He would not attempt to practice law without studying law or practice medicine without studying medicine. He would not attempt to lay out rail- road or s1OOOO,O0O industrial plant unless he knew something about engineering But as a good American he believes he could, without experience, fill any po- litical office from President of the United States to ward assessor and be- lieves he could run 8 newspaper better than any newspaper man can run one.
 The Up-to-Date club speakers who ex- pressed themselves Wednesday evening do not differ from thousands of other Americans who fear that newspapers are being conducted improperly. News paper men in general, it is true. hold views themselves on almost every sub views, but they do not believe they know any business in it's entirety better than the man trained in that business. The newspaper critic, on the other hand, believes the newspaper will be failure just as long as trained newspaper men have anything to do with it's manage ment
 Newspapers are always ready to receive suggestions from outsiders. Common sense dictates this in any business It is with sadness, however, that we must record the fact that almost every criti- cism offered a newspaper comes from
 .,1.1. .rs,, project has not been taken up by the newspapers. That project may interest but fraction of 1 per cent of readers, but the mind of the critic magnifies this to 90 per cent plus. It is the sug- gestions of the man without a grievance and without an ax to grind that the newspaper welcomes most but such sug- geStions are few.

kreisIer and His VioIins

Every great violinist possesses an instrument of which he is very proud" said Mrs. Houston Davis yesterday in speaking of Fritz Kreieler's appearance here on Wednesday evening. MT Kreis- Ter is fortunte in possessing three ex- traordinary instruments. One is rather small Stradivarius, not large in tone, but of exquisite quality, which he uses often for recitals in small halls. An other is a Gagliano, the work of one of the earliest and most famous of the Italian, violin makers who fiourished in Florence in the first half of the sew enteenth century. The instrument which is his favorite, and which he uses most, is one made by Josef Guarneri del Gesu, which was formerly the property of the great Wilhelm. The Guarnerius is, it is said, one of the finest instruments in existence. It is large and has most beautiful tone. Birmingham music lovers will have the pleasure of hearing MT Kreisler play on one of these famous instruments at his recital here"

Fewer Miners Killed

Not only has the Safety First campaign considerably reduced the number of accidents and fatalities on American railroads and traction lines, but it shows substantial results in the number of lives saved among coal miners. According to report made by the bureau of mines in 1915, the num- Der of men killed is the lowest in the past eight years. The death rate per 1000 men employed is the lowest in the past sixteen years, and the num- Der of tons of coal produced for each miner killed is the largest in the his tory of the coal mining industry in this country.
 This is truly fine showing of es- peciaI interest in the Birmingham dis trict, where the latest and safest ap- pliances are used in coal mining, and
