To Establish New Industries

The Alabama Power company's an- nouncement yesterday to the effect that it had completed financial ar engagements for developing it's Coosa river and Muscle Shoals projects on stupendous scale will give fresh lm- petus to the industrial progress of the Birmingham district.
 It is stated to be the purpose of the company to expend $1Oo,ooo,ooo on development operations in Alabama within the next 10 years. It will start on new construction this year which, it is said, will require an out lay of about $3,OOO, ,0Oo, and after the larger installation is we'll advanced additional millions will pour into the state rapidly.
 This is a vast scheme and that It will attract manufacturers In ever ln- creasing numbers can hardly be doubted. Indeed the chief slgnlfl- canoe of yesterdays statement, so far as it relates to a general industrial expansion hereabouts, may be found in the fact that self interest will cause the company to assist in bringing new industries to this section. It must have many consumers for its electric mower. ultimately thousands of them, It can we'll afford, therefore, to in- vest a large percentage of it's new mli- lions for the purpose of cooperating with manufacturers in establishing ln- dustrial plants.
 If half the things are accomplished in this part of Alabama that are scheduled for the next three or four years the pay rolls of the Birmingham district would be quadrupled, and Bir- mingham's population would easily exceed 25O, ,00O in the census of 1920.
 At any rate, the Alabama Power company's activities must enter largely into a new and far-reaching movement for the states upbuilding and for all that makes for permanent prosperity.

Colonel House, Author

4 newspaper correspondent states that Washington is all agog over the reported discovery that none other than the sphinxlike Colonel House, the man of mystery and silence, is the author of the anonymous novel, ~Philip Dru, Administrator" The fact that Colonel Houses middle name is Mandell, and in one place the scenes of the novel are laid at Mandell house, is rather slender clue to the authors identity, but certain officials who lave read the book are said to have dcclared that Philip Dru is Colonel House thinly disguised, and the story rives him ample opportunities to ex- press his opinion of such interesting nubjects as the problem of capital and labor, the Mexican question, the Mon roo doctrine and the Latin-American countries, an/alliance for control of
 " seas between the United States

FABULOUS WOODPECKERS
To the Editor of the Philadelphia Put

To the Editor of the Philadelphia Pub
 lie Ledger
 ~ CIR: Some time ago, in a fishing
 camp in the Maine woods, certain 0 stories came to my attention con- corning the convivial habits of woodpeck- CTS in that neighborhood. It was stated that the sap in some decayed white birch trees had fermented, and that woodpeck- CTS and even bees had discovered it, and first time, but had gone back to it with enthusiasm on subsequent occasions.
 I did not see these intoxicated wood- peckers, but heard so much testimony from eyewitnesses that the story seemed to me worth Investigating. Moreover, did see numbers of woodpeckers flying about that neighborhood, and I saw the birch trees which had been punctured full of small holes up and down their trunks.
 In trying to find out whether or not the occurrence was likely. and whether 1t had been paralleled in other neighborhoods I wrote letters to various bird experts
  quiries contradicted each other in surpris- ing fashion. The whole question finally became so entertaining in it's various as- poets that I set it down in an essay, which was published in the January num- Der of Harper's Magazine. Since the ap- pearance of that article I have received a great number of letters contributing ad- ditional data. New testimony has been offered in large quantities, tending to will go out of his way to find fermented drink, once he has acquired the habit. A Mr. Frank Bolles tried certain exper- iments with the sapsuckers to establish this fact, and published his conclusions. I had not read his paper when I wrote my article, but it seems that he filled holes in tree trunk with rum and water. and the sapsuckers drank this with avidity; a yellow hammer. in fact, got into such a foolish state that he lay down on a limb with his wings hanging down on either side. "A humming bird,' he says, "came and slipped of this rum and water, and became so hilarious it pains one to describe it..
 A correspondent in Michigan, MT. Ben Bush, writes of the yellow billed wood- peckers: 1T have seen a male of this va riety become drunk on the sap of a ma- pie. He would come every day after it, and was right busy. IL finally killed him -or at least he toppled over dead. ls There was something about those dying birch trees that the woodpeckers liked, and they got it.
 I am not sure that this is pleasant situation to be into find myself de- tractor of bird morals. in the face of all that has been written throughout the centuries about innocent little birds Un- Fortunately, it is true that. having once started an injury to a reputation. there

THE KINGS AND THE SWORD

By Algernon Charles Swinburne. From "A Song in the Time of Revolu-
 ton, 1S6O.') The heart of the ruler is sick, And the higt priest covers his head; For this is the song of the quick .. That is heard in the ears of the dead. They are smitten, they tremble greatly. They are pained for their pleasant
 things; For the house of the priest made stately, And the might in the mouth of kings. They are grieved and greatly afraid; They are taken, they shall not flee; For the heart of the nations is made As the strength of the springs of the
 sea. Wilt thou judge thy people now, o king that was found most wise? Wilt thou lie any more, O thou, Whose mouth is emptied of lies? Shall God make a pact with thee Till His hook be found in thy sides? Wilt thou put back the time of the sea, Or the place of the season of tides? The sword, the sword is made keen; The iron has opened it's mouth: The corn is red that was green; It IS bound for the sheaves of the
 SOuth Where the sword was covered and hld-
 den,
 And dust had grown in it's side, A word came forth which was hidden. The crying of one that cried: The sides of the two-edged sword Shall be bare. and it's mouth shall be
 red, For the breath of the face of the Lord That is felt in the bones of the dead.

Civilian Reserve Corps Planned

This country may escape the hor- TOTS of war for years to come. It IS the fervent wish of all true Amer jeans that the United States may re- main at peace with the rest of the world, but one way to minimize the chances of the nation being called upon to defend itself against for eign foe is to be prepared to meet any contingency.
 The public is aroused on the pre- paredness issue. The sentiment in fla vor of the administrations prepared ness programme grows stronger every day. The military and naval commit tees of Congress are shaping practical plans for strengthening the national defense and there now seems little doubt as to the adoption of measures that will increase the regular army and the National Guard during the present year and provide for the building of navy that will be second to none.
 But the army will need at once not only men and arms and the usual SUD- plies for a peace footing. There must be enrolled great corps of civilian eservists-teamsters auto- mobilists, telegraph and telephone op- orators, electricians, machinists and engineers of all classes.
 The military committee of the House of Representative was prompt in adopting Congressman Kahn's suggestion as an amendment to the provision in the army increase bill for quartermaster's corps made up of such civilians as those referred to.
 An organization of automobilists as an army reserve corps has been started in New York, and it is the purpose of the organizers to make it national in scope. The enrolment of every able bodied American motorist is solicited, and it is believed that within the next few months this or ganization will number hundreds of thousands. There will be a branch organization in every city and every member will be sworn to respond to a call from the war department. The purpose is to have great corps of ausomobilists ready to convey United States troops from barracks or train ing camps to the front. This organi- zation will fit well into the general plan of preparedness and will be

The bureau of statistics of the United issued a summary of it's report on ''rhe Condition of Woman and Child Wage Earners," after making survey which included establishments employing over 35O,0oO persons, of whom more than 167,- 0Ot were females. The extreme youthful ness of many of those employed has caused considerable comment. In the southern cotton group, the glass industry and the Pennsylvania silk industry more are under 20 years of age. The number of married women who are wage earners is large. In 27 industries studied only three were found in which the percentage of married women 20 years of age and over was less than 10 per cent In one in- dustry three-fifths of the female employees 20 years old and over were married. Four industries were studied intensively and in about 5000 families from 82 to 9S per cent had girls Of l6 years or age ana over at work. contributing from 27 to 4S per cent of the total family income Low wages prevail among women workers In four great industries-cotton, mems ready-made clothing, glass and silk-it thirds of those IS years of age and older earned an average of less than s6 week. In another group of 23 industries employing more than 3s,oo0 women IS years old and over more than fl per cent failed to earn $6 a week. The report also discusses protective labor legislation, which has been given marked impetus during recent years.

and Great Britain, and other matters.
 It is highly significant, according to the correspondents point of view, that the hero of the novel makes him. self dictator of the American govern ment and when, leading the forces ot labor, he puts down capital, a grateful nation wants to make him king, but he waved the crown aside and sails away to the south seas on his honeymoon, leaving the reconstructed" country to work out it's destiny.
 The titanic labors of Philip Dru are supposed to be performed between 1920 and 1927. The hero is not only military genius, but also a great civic administrator-in other words, superman. If Colonel House really wrote this book, with himself in mind as the hero, it reveals egotism which T. R. in his happiest and most exuber- ant moments can never hope to equal.
 But, hold. The attempt to prove that Colonel House has blossomed out as an author is made by republican newspaper. Perchance it is only base canard, after all, shrewdly de- signed to dim the prestige of the Presidents confidential adviser.
