which Pastor Russell was to have
taken up, THE World on Fire"
In opening he pointed out that the
fire was referred to in the Bible as
the end of the world, quoting "a day
of fire shall come and destroy all the
ungodly" This fire, however, was not
the literal fire, there would be no heap
of ashes where the world once was,
the fire was the fire OF Jealousy and
was blazing now throughout the
whole world.
VIII Destroy Present.
The fire would destroy the present
state and present society but it would
not wipe away all those existing upon
and allow them to live on in perfect
happiness. This would be the heaven
they desired.
Reimer pointed out that Pastor
Russell with his immense knowledge
Of the Bible had been able to foretell
the coming of the present war. He
had announced its coming thirty years
ago and had been scoffed and laughed
at. When the actual events which he
had foreseen arrived he was respected
and became the best known preacher
In the world
In closing Reimer said that the enc
OF the world was coming in the exact
manner prophesied in the Bible where
It said there would be wind, earth
quake and fire" The wind was the
war, the earthquake the social up,
heaval which was certain to come
after this war and the fire would be
the anarchy and chaos which would
finally wipe out all but those saved
These would have all that they de-
sired on this earth, happiness, health,
no quarreling. no Jealousy nor any OF
the evils OF the present day.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Schools Crowded

Birmingham school facilities are en- tirely inadequate as matters stand now. The crowded condition at the high school is typical of conditions in many of the grammar schools" said Commissioner Hornady. The high school was built to accommodate 500 pupils It now has an enrolment of 14OO and 45o other students are coming in shortly after the first of the year. Relief is imperative.
 Under the constitutional amendment adopted November z, the county of Jeff ferson can levy a tax of mills for sckpol purposes. Such an election is to be held February 6, and the approval of this tax by the voters is of supreme importance. This tax means relief for the city of Bir- mir gham, under which the incidental fee, IS we'll as some other unpopular forms of taxation, can be eliminated. The general plan for improvements in all the schools can be gone ahead with This issue is of vital importance to the citizens of Jeff ferson county. and hope the vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of the tax"

Indorses Fox Health Plan

John w. Altman, well known po- litical leader and local attorney, gave his unqualified indorsement of the Fox unified system of health yesterday, and he urged its adoption by the board of revenue.
 T do not understand the delay,' said MT. Altman, fin the adoption of this plan. Is the board of revenue to play peanut politics while the lives and health of the people of the county is in jeopardy? Let us be reasonable and abandon this narrowness of opinion for the sake of humanity if not for our own self-respect.
 q have been in politics and know what 1t means to make any statement that fa- vors progress in Jefferson county. It is practically waving a red flag in the face of your enemies. But were it political suicide I would still urge; the adoption of the Fox system of unified health pro- tection or anything else that means good to the citizens of the county. I believe that the public health should come before the public roads or anything else, and it is mighty short-sighted and selfish set of public officials that adopts any other policy in Jefferson county or elsewhere in Alabama"

ChiIdren,s Christmas Books

''We feel that the plan we have in- augurated at the library, giving sugges- tions for Christmas books, especially as far as the children are concerned, is a distinct asset for those desiring to give good books" said Miss Mary Banes the new head of the childrens department of the public library, who has assumed her duties within the past week. Miss Banes comes to the public library here from the public library of St. Louis, and is con sidered very able and competent in li- brary work and distinct acquisition to Birmingham.
 "Of course, there are two types of books" she continued, "to give children at Christmas; one is the inexpensively bound, beautifully illustrated type, and the other, those books which may be bought for nominal sum. The hand some books, such as Mother Goose H. frustrated by Arthur Rachman; The Arabian Nights illustrated by Maxfield Parish; "A Child's Garden of Verse by Robert Louis Stevenson, illustrated by Jessie Wilcox Smith, and Eugene Fields Poems of Childhood are all very beau- tiful and expensive books.
 "On the other hand, the Boy Scout edition of popular books for boys, and by this I mean those approved by the Boy Scouts of America, heads the list of cheaper books. Also three of Robert Louis Stevenson's books for older chill dren. Treasure Island. The Black Arm and 'I<idnaped,' are excellent examples of the cheaper volumes. We have none of the old-time dime novels now, but much more pernicious form of literature of the same type, gotten up in cloth and nicely illustrated and quite misleading by the very fact of its neat appearance. Parents and friends cannot lay too much stress on the type of books they give their children, and their friends chil- dren. The series of books for younger children by Lucy Fitch Perkins (for fourth and fifth grade children) and the Twin Series,' including The Esquimaux Twins The Dutch Twins and The Irish Twins are all commendable.

Much Ado About Nothing

'The most unique instance showing the futility of argument I ever saw was a scene enacted between Capt. Frank S. White and myself in the argument of a case some years ago. said Commis- sioner Weatherly. During the course of the case we were trying asked a witness a question which my worthy opponent did not think proper. He objected. I arose and gave vent to a long -winded speech attempting to uphold my right to ask the question propounded to the witness.
 Captain White followed me and talked an hour against my argument. I then took the floor and talked some more. Then Captain White talked again. Fiji nally, the judge asked MT. White what the question asked by me was. He looked amazed and turning to me said: Jim, what the thunder was that question you asked?' Blamed if I know I replied, and the joke was on both of us. Con- fidentially, think the joke was on the judge. In the heat of the argument we had all forgotten what the fuss was about"

THE MAGIC STOVE

From the New York Tribune.
 We have it on the authority of Profess
 sor Showerman, in his recent Country
 Chronicle of early Wisconsin, that as
 far back in the night of time as the ad-
 ministration of Garfield there were ses-
 sions around the stove in the country
 store.
 The chaffing of fourth class postmas-
 ters by their guests, now filling the land
 in these days of shifting temperatures, is going forward in much the same terms
 that the professor, as Nan observant 10- year-old, heard it when Garfield was
 President, and he records it's tone with
 unflawed precision.
 If the weather is cold the storekeeper
 has fired up at last; if the day is tenn
 perate, when Is he ever going to? Much of this talk is as fixed as parliamentary practice and could be reduced to sys- tematic statement in manual. Yet this is hardly the challenging fact about the stove. It is not of the essence nipping air distant neighbors gather to- gether to flex their fingers in the warmth and toast the soles of their boots. It Is not the whole story that there is a morning session and then an evening 1 session and that few are members of both; nor that lesser and inferior court sits at other hours of the day. The significant fact about the stove is that the session surrounds it even when it isn't there. Even when it. is stored for the summer, in cellar or at- tic, the several chairs ranged below the boxes of shoes, the chairs beside the cof- fee mill and sugar scales, the stool | backed against the pile of overalls, | everyone of them still faces the spot
 where the stove used to be. And the | occupant of any such seat, with those whc snatch moment to stand, whether
 near the absent fuel box or leaning back 1 against the counter, all bend their brows gravely toward the vacant site
 l What is the stove, then? A symbol,
 as always. Ugly though it may be- ex- l pressionless, empty at times and cold | utterly withdrawn at other times from mortal sight, it yet stands, as by com mon consent, for the comforting broth
 erliness that is fundamental in even the | dreariest community of men.

Street Car Incident

"I was very much surprised at an incl dent I saw on a West End car the other day." said M. w. Carlisle yesterday. TWO women handed the conductor trans fers dated at least an hour back. He informed them that the transfers had run out and were no good. They told him that they were not going to pay any car fare and he had better take those transfers The conductor informed these passengers that he could not accept the transfers, and the only thing he could do would be to pay the money into the company. un. less they would pay him.
 This they steadfastly refused to do and, rather than put them off and have any argument about it, the conductor threw the out-of-date transfers on the floor and rang up dime. The two wom. en rode for several miles. until they reached their station and then calmly got off. The conductor, who makes very small salary, and who has family tc support, was out the dime, but they die not seem to care for this. The incident was a remarkable revelation to me"

A FAMOUS TUNE

From the Providence Journal.
 A brief dispatch from Santa Rosa Cai' announces the death of Joseph T. Niles
 there on Thursday night.
 Not one reader in ten thousand coulo
 tell who Joseph T. Miles was, put the
 further statement, that he was the author
 of the song, 'Therell Be Hot Time Tn the Old Town Tonight" is Illuminating The song-or at least the tune-is one
 of the best of it's kind the country has produced. It has swing and spirit It might be called first cousin to Dixie '
 The American troops in the Philippine campaign made it their marching tune and the natives thought it was our national anthem. Perhaps the public has wearied of if. as it weares of most popular mu- sic but it is still recalled as a composi- tion. unpretentious indeed, but of pecu- liar attra ractiveness and merit. Miles was 70 years old. He was an ac- tor and his stage name was Joe Hayden; but he will be best remembered by this stirring melody Very likely when he wrote it he had no idea of its wide and persistent fame.
