The Fishtrap Road Injunction

Judge B. yesterday dissolved the temporary njunc ton against the Nichols Fshtrep road to the Warrior rver but allowed the injunction maintain its status pending an a pea the complainant will make increased bond of $2OOO
 Thirty days allowed c file appeal which means that the present board of will probably retire from office before final decision reached by the supreme court The construction of this highway s therefore indefinitely delayed
 The fight against this road is of the most regretabe incidents the history of road building in Alabama It sets precedent for stopping road building by the nunc ton process
 No road built which not of direct benefit to someone.
 Road advocates therefore urge the building of as many roads possible many directions possible in order to benefit as many people possible.
 road of direct benefit Warrior and Morris is not of direct benefit Leeds s therefore unfortunate if Leeds by injunction indefinitely delay any road construction to Warrior and Morris.
 Tn AgeHera has for many urged the building of bet ter roads all Alabama Every road built is bound to bene

 Let hope that this Jefferson county precedent will not seriously affect the great of road building in the county or in the state at large.

HOTEL LOBBIES
BIrminehnm . summer Re.ort

Birmingham as a summer resort must be about the best in the country" said R. S. Douglas, manager of the Jeffer- son theatre. who has recently returned from a lengthy trip to New York and Chicago. "In the late July and early Au- gust days in Chicago. when the ther- mometer was registering 102, I'd get the papers from Birmingham the next day and read about the weather and 1t was always several degrees cooler. The heat in Chicago was something awful. Munich pal Beach was thronged with people wait ing in long lines to get into the bath houses just to see if dip wouldn't cool them off.
 Tt was pretty hard, with the mercury soaring heavenward. to get any line on theatricals, but as far ahead as I could see, the present season will be a good one. We have some excellent bookings for the Jefferson for October and No- vember and those months usually deter mine the rest of the seasons attrac- tions If the New York managers find cordial response fEom the south in big audiences, their bookings come thick and fast but if not, they are a little slow about venturing to send out their attractions"

LESSON FOR SPACE WRITERS

country'' a poor boy with new inven-
 tion in mouse traps. He once told the
 amusing story himself, and thereafter ltl
 was. regarded as symbolic. He developed
 a genius for mouse catching. He caught
 in his mouse trap pretty much everything
 from trunk line of railway to the latest
 flyer in the market. He became the
 king of Wall street. Once there was talk
 of his going to the bow-wows He sum-
 moned little and big from the stock ex-
 change to his private office and showed
 them there arrayed nearly $100,000,0O0 of
 unincumbered, gilt-edged securities.
 He was a very able man. Rather
 undersized and swart, he might have
 been taken for one of Gods people from the land of the Sobieskis. There was story that just before his birth his mother had been frightened by the sud-
 den appearance of a Polish Jew peddler Assuredly he looked it.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A woman may not know a thing about mathematics. But you can bet that she knows how to make her own figure count.
 Maybe if Eve were to return to the
 world right now and see the feminine garb she would wonder why she ever im- agined that modesty compelled her to wear fig leaves.
 No matter how wealthy man may be,
 and no matter how honest he may be, he
 simply can't help stealing a cake of soap when he is stopping at a hotel.
 It is a good thing that some families do not have cyclometers attached to their
 photographs. They would have to replace worn-out cyclometer once a week. A woman may put everything she has on her back But she puts mighty little on her chest. Another safe bet is that the man who is laughing loudest isn't enjoying himself | most.
 The easiest way to find man out is to get job as collector and call on him with a bill.
 Leave it to married man and you will discover that the only things a woma n wants are the things she knows she cal'r get.
 | It often happens that you don't know man is loaded until he begins to shoot | off his mouth. | A married man can go around braggiE z | about his political aff;liator.

JAPAN'S DEBT TO A WIDOW

prepare himself for a public career in Japan it would be a good thing for him to know about the Christian religion. g. he began systematically going to church. He went to the churches of all denomina- tions, but more often to the Baptist than to any other. He did not become a Chris tian because of his church going. but he did gain large spirit of tolerance toward tue Christian religion. s
 The boy returned to Japan and became tino private secretary of Count Ito. and when that great statesnlan was writing the present constitution of Japan his sec- retary induced him to have 1t guarantee religious liberty. At first Count Ito ob- jected, but his young secretary told him what he had learned Sf Christianity in his church going in Boston, and Count Ito became convinced that for Japan to take a place among modern progressive nations she must guarantee the liberty of worship to all religious sects.
 When Count Itos draft of the constitu- tion was submitted for approval there was violent protest against it, for Japan 25 years ago was not nearly so far ad- vanced as today, but the count persisted and carried his point, and so Japan today permits a large liberty in religious wor- ship, and this is largely due to the effort of a good widow of Boston to get her Japanese boarder to go to church.
 The truth of this story is vouched for by the Rev. John l.. Dearing of Yoko- hama, who had 1t direct from the lips of viscount Kaneko, now one of the lead- ing statesmen of Japan, who was the boy student of Boston.

PAPER MILK BOTTLES

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 New Legislation requiring all milk deal CTS in the state to use the sanitary, non- reliable milk bottles made of paper in stead of the glass bottles now in common Use Is being framed by the officials of th- state dairy and food department, accord ing to District Agent Sinners. The city officials, represented by David Clegg, chief milk inspector, are very much in favor of the proposed legislation, while n any of the milk dealers themselves, ac- cording to Agent Sinners, will back such q reform. The large dealers contend that the paper bottles are as yet not cheap enough to justify their use.
 The idea has been suggested to the state dairy and food department by the recent inspection of milk throughout the city, when more than 200 tests of milk were made by agents of that department in connection with inspectors from the bu- rcau of sanitation of the city. Although in only IS of these tests did the milk fall below the standard, yet, according to Mir. Sinners, a much larger percent age of the milk was found by the city aud state chemists to be unclean, due to the bottles in which the milk and cream Lad been handled.
 A. w. Holgren, superintendent of biz dairy company, said
 No manufacturer has been able to manufacture and sell sanitary paper bot ties at much less than cent apiece while the glass bottle for which we pay something over cents makes on the E average of r trips. To use the paper bottles, we would have to install new machinery for filling and capping then and special cases in which to store the 75G0 gross of milk bottles we handle every year. Anyhow, the people of this city would hardly be satisfied unless they coud see the cream on their milk. Ye the paper oontainer is certainly the most sanitary manner in which to handle milk and in a few years when it is perfected we will gladly handle 1t.

From the Kansas City Star
 N DISPATCH from Japan told re- A gently how great vsa evangelist, sa,,,s S' C, known as the Japanese Bliiy Sunday" was preaching Christianity to throngs in that country and thousands were being converted. Last week cable gram from Japan said that in the union meetings held by Christian missionaries in the last two years in that country 2l,- OO0 persons had professed Christianity; fiat a great revival was sweeping the country and among those taking part in the movement was the president of the Diet a position which corresponds With that of speaker of the House of Repesen- tatives in this country.
 This extending of Christian Influence in Japan was made possible by a poor widow of Boston whose name. even, is new forgotten. The incident recalls the words of Portia:
 "How far that little candle throws its beams!
 So shines good deed in a naughty world"
 Many years ago a Japanese boy Was attending Harvard university and board ing with a widow in Boston. She was q good Baptist and she urged the foreign boy to go to church. At first he paid no attention to her. Finally she got him to g. with her. Then the idea came to him that as he was studying in America to

GIVING HIM A CHANGE

From the New York Globe.
 A man who has just finished a prison sentence for robbing the mails while em- pioyed as an assistant postmaster at Mill waukee, we are told. will probably be back in the postal service within short time. His application for a position as clerk in the same office has been ap- proved by the postoffice department, and if he passes the necessary civil service examination he will receive his appoint ment.
 It has always been the unwritten law that a man once gone wrong in the gov ernment service was forever barred from again entering it. This has held espe- cially true of the postoffice department. The remarkable and to old-time crimi- nologists doubtless shocking change in attitude at Washington has been brought about through the efforts of the Prison CTS Relief society The society's pres ident, E. E. Duddling, sums it up this way:
 The man has atoned for his fault to the public through his service in the prison. Now he is out. give him chance to make a man of himself. Business men all over the country are helping these unfortunates. Why can't the gov- ernment do its part?
 It can do it's part and should do 1t. The sign, Leave hope behind all ye who enter here" Is gradually being torn down from every prison door. It should come down from all As we progress we are becoming moro human At least, as individuals we are And there is no better way to bring about a complete change in the old order of things than to have the state join with the individual and shine as an example to him in the campaign of regeneration. Give every man a chance-two chances if necessary. The world is crowded with weddings; only very small minority of them are hopeless.
 The postoffice authorities have taken a big step, one that cannot but have wide results. And it is not only to the sen tmentalist that it will seem much more important than the fact, perhaps, that the departments operations for the fis- cal year showed a balance on the right side of the ledger.

AGAIN THE TRACTOR

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 Isaac Gather is a big land owner in Mexico. Before the continuous perform ance revolution had started on it's course he employed some 400 oxen and 800 horses on his hacienda, as they call the big farms down that way. During the prog ress of the revolutionary movement he lost the horses and oxen. Not long ago he came north, and he has just returned with five heavy traction engines to take the place of the horses and oxen stolen. Thus the great American tractor which formed the basls of the astonishing tanks" that hurded the trenches in northern France is destined to aid in making the deserts of Mexico blossom like the rose. Incidentally, if more of the haciendas were equipped with prosaic machines which will not run swiftly like horses or provide meat like oxen, the rev. olution might soon die out for want of these two great essentials of wholesale and prolonged rioting in that country.

FEAR EXODUS OF LABORERs rom the Pittsburg Leader.

From the Pittsburg Leader.
 Fearing a. general exodus of foreign la Dor at the end of the European war, with consequent paralysis of many lines of industry, manufacturers of the Pittsburs district are fathering propaganda de- signed to dissuade their workmen from leaving their employ by calling their at tention to the benefits they enjoy in this country.
 Circulars and newspapers printed in all languages are being distributed as part of the employers programme.
 We are urging our men to remain here after the war is over," prominent Pitts burg employer said. We realize tha, there will be a great number of men who will want to return to their own countries after the struggle ceases This is particu- larly true of those from stro-Hungary who make up great part of the common labor In our plants
 ''Their desire to return to their homes and visit their families is natural. But without them we would be paralyzed 1T many branches of industry. Take away our foreign laborers and we could not operate our plants.
 "The countries at war will be in des- perate need of men after it Is over. This may lead them to restrict or prohibit eml' grafton and even restrain men who come from the United States for q visit, pro- vided they are not citizens of the United States. This point is being set before the men in most decided manner, and 1T this we are working quite as much 1T their interest as our own. We want te keep the men here, for their chances oi returning to America, should they once go back to Europe, would be small"

"Hose of Death.

. q see from the New York papers that Capt. Isaac N. Lewis U. $. A., re- tired, is involved in controversy with the ordnance department of the United States army in regard to the famous death-dealing machine gun," said E. N. Willys, who is at the Hillman. Tt will probably be recalled that Captain Lewis is the inventor of the Lewis ma chine gunt that has done great work in the European war. These guns are used exclusively by the English. be- lieve some of the other countries in volved in the European war are now using this gun, with the permission Of Great Britain.
 Captain Lewis in statement to the New York press states emphatically that he offered his invention to the United States army gratis a number of times, but that on account of the en- mity existing between himself and cer- tain officers in the ordnance depart ment his gun was officially turned
