the interior department, has done val uable work for the cause of education. His bulletins issued by the govern ment from time to time are not only informative but they contain construc- tive suggestions that never fail to cause favorable comment throughout the educational world.
 As finance, agriculture, commerce and labor are represented in the cab met, why not education? The peda- gogic profession is one of great dig nity and of ever increasing import ance. Few questions touch the Ameri- can people more direct than that of education, and certain it is that no factor in the country's upbuilding is So vital as that bound up in the activi- ties of the schools and universities.
 Commissioner Claxton, it is be- lieved, would make an admirable first secretary of education.

PRAISES BOY SCOUTS

aboard and saluted as they left. AL though I had been over the exact ground only two weeks before, I accepted the service with thanks and smiles. The little fellows proceeded with such tact and deference that I enjoyed being taken care of.
 A little later I started from my hotel to register" and get my reunion badge. Being halted for moment by a dense crowd which blocked the way to the designated place nearby, boy scout stepped quickly to my side and asked, Gan help you or give you information. sir?' His tone was direct and deferen- tial and kind. q am looking for the place to register" I said. 'Ill take you there, then, D was the ready response; and following the word with action, he quickly drilled up passage through the pack.
 These two experiences are only speci- mems of many such I witnessed and per- sonalIy enjoyed; found myself for getting that I had a fair knowledge of Birmingham so restful it was to feel absolutely safe in the hands of these
 
 Yes, the boy scouts were a new and delightful feature. They supplied want which, though varying in degrees, it is taue, had been ever present at past reunions.
 Some one told me there were 300 of them, but they were everywhere, it seemed, and be that number above or below the mark. there were enough of them for the work.
 Their long reeds as badges of authority. were more effective in enforcing the limitations to spectators along the line of march in the grand parade than would have been the sharpest Arab lances. My heart went out to the little fellows, and I reckon I hugged a dozen of them. This testimony is from "only a veteran just ba ok from Birmingham and he hopes 1t will reach the eyes of many veterans and that they will tell other veterans that when they go to Washington in 1917, they will have no trouble in getting around in that big city.
 If the Washington committees cannot supply enough boys of the right stamp, Birmingham can ship them few car loads-ready trained for the work. Among the echoes of the Birmingham reunion, which course through my brain, came the kindly voicesfof that legion of Khaki Kids; and when a friend asked me What feature of the Birmingham reunion especially impressed you.'' and as all the grandeur of the balls and the gayly be-fagged automobiles passed in review. I let them pass. and lifting my hat re- piled. Boy Scouts. God bless them"

New Oil Mellr

I was very much pleased yesterday to receive notice that the Five Rivers Oil company has just drilled two new wells at Electra, Tex.." said W. R. Hill Hard, who is vice president of the com- pany. For time we stopped our de- velopment work, merely operating the wells we already had opened, but with the continued improvement of business and financial conditions. and the heavy demands for oil brought on by the heavy exports to the warning nations, we decided to open these new wells. One was just completed last week, and the other has been in operation for several weeks. The great majority of the people who are associated with us in this company reside in Birmingham or in Alabama"

Mourns for Kitchener

At the city commission conference yes- terday, various members of the board dis played such activity to offer resolutions on mundane subjects that City Attorney M. M. Ullman was inspired to write a memorial on the lamentable death of Lord Kitchener.
 Here is nice little resolution for the board" said MT. Ullman to one of the att tendant reporters, ''and it is as pertinent to the generalities of the moment as the flowers that bloom in the spring. What do you think of it?" The reporter read
 Resolved, We mourn with our mother country, England, the death of Lord Kitchener of 'Karthum'''
 The resolution was then passed around to the commissioners who read in silence with the exception of MT. Hornady. who said:
 q move we reject Ullman's resolution on the ground that he misspelled the last word. I don't know how to pronounce that particular word, but do know that it is not spelled K-a-r-t-h-u-m.''

The Gallant Canadians

In presenting colors to Canadian regiment at Ottawa, Maj. Gen. Sir Samuel Hughes, minister of militia, stated that more than six thousand Canadians had fallen within a week during the desperate fighting around Sanctuary hill. The Princess Patricia regiment has done gallant service and has a record for heroism probably un- euualed in any of the battle zones.
 According to a cable message re- ceived by General Hughes, Captain Nivin, the only officer left of this regiment, which has been shot to pieces three times, was wounded on Friday and was taken back to be treated at a dressing station. The fol- lowing day he went to the trenches where he was again wounded. After having his wound dressed at the sta tion, he against sought the trenches, but was returned Sunday for addi- tional treatment. It is also told that Chaplain Wilkes carried rifle, used it until "close work" called for the bayonet and fell fighting with his fists, feat reminiscent of the days of Roland and Oliver.
 Great Britain is doubtless grateful for the gallantry with which her col onials have fought for her, particu- larly the Canadians and the Austra- Hans, who have distinguished them selves in many a bloody encounter. The Canadians have borne the brunt of the fighting on number of occa- sions in Flanders and have conducted themselves with rare courage. The achievements of these splendid sol- diers also reflect credit in certain measure on the United States, for there are large number of American adventurers among the Canadian troops.

A True Fish Story

East Lake is the best place that I have found this year for fish, said T. N. Cottrell, manager of Wilmington pharmacy, a true lover of sports.
 Last week I caught large mouth bass fish, weighing pounds and 2 ounces at East Lake. It took me some thing liks 30 minutes to land him, after wearing him down. I was using a fly rod, and a Colonel Fuller fly for bait do not ask you to believe this fish story, but have the head of the large fish mounted, and 1t is on exhibition at the cigar counter at the Wilmington pharmacy. I have been told that this is the largest fish caught in the Bir- mingham district with fly rod in the last two years"

COATTAILS OF THE GREAT

will not be listened to for their own empty and added sakes. and so they for tify themselves by laying claim to dis tinguished amities and affiliations which. if within earshot. would disciaim them
 What is more tiresome than to, hear a mock modesty lugging into his talk or hers one celebrity after another, not be- cause it fits into the conversation, but because it seems to reflect distinction on the speaker? Any outstanding figure in public life is familiar with the phe- nomenon of those who cultivate him just to use him for orthemselves, and will leave him in a minute for anybody else who promises better. 'The king is dead; long live the king!" The arena of politics Is filled with discarded favorites who would rehearse their past triumphs if they could procure listeners. But they are 'back numbers" A champion of any sort is demigod and demagogue as long as he stands on his pedestal, but let him be overthrown and he is among strangers or utterly alone.
 It amuses one to see people using the mantle of charity not to cover the des- titute, not to hide good deed. but to conceal creeping intrusion into the houses of the great and the penetralia of fashionable society, which is the only sort of society rich idlers recognize. No doubt many philanthropic movements are aware of those who are in them for the sake of the meetings held in great houses. which give to those who attend a pleasing sense of proximity to fabulous luxury. If people have their hands full of important business which they cannot drop. this ceaseless struggle to stand up ard be counted among those present ap- pears small, undignified, unworthy of human beings with work todo and soul to save that is of more value than many macaroons and cups of tea.

New York Banks Costly Kitchen

In this day of "uplift" and sanitary science applied to the practical side of life regulations for comfort and the conservation of health are supposed to be in effect in all sections of vast city, even in the "slums." But the sanitary inspectors of New York have found recently in handsome business houses some remarkable cases of de- fiance of the laws of cleanliness and contempt for customs that are coupled with the ordinary requirements of gentility.
 In certain financial block the sani- tary officials found very few estab- lishments they could report higher than "fair." None came under the head of good" and several were re- ported "poor." In one banking house that boasts of a $35, 1000 kitchen where luncheons are prepared for the clerks and officials of the institution the in- spectors reported that there was no lavatory for the kitchen employees no facilities for the cooks and scul- lions to wash their hands.
 Any concern that would build a marble kitchen-marble walls, marble slabs on which to place the meats and other foods-would hardly fail to pro- vide washstand because of it's cost. This $35, ,0OO kitchen has been show place and janitor or usher was kept busy conducting patrons of the bank through this glistening and immacu- late adjunct.

 Missouri should take hint from her Indiana rival. What makes for the fame of Hoosier authors abroad is their fame at home.

DERIVATIVES VERSUS TURKS From the London Chronicle.

Cervantes. whose tercentenary is being celebrated in Spain, did his bit against the Turks at Lapanto in 1571. He was III with fever at the time, but insisted on fighting, and he lost his arm in the bat tie. This was but one of the many ex- citing episodes of Cervantes eventful life. Born in 1547 he led wandering life for many years, ultimately becoming sol- dier in the Italian army and seeing ac- tive service at Navarino and Tunis. In 1575 he set out for Spain. but was cap tured by Barbary pirates and held for ransom for five years. When freed he tried to earn living with his pen, but was unsuccessful, and in 1887 we find him engaged in gathering stores for the Ar mada. His unbusinesslike methods lost him this post, and until his death in 1916, he lived in extreme poverty, despite the great and immediate success of 'Don Quixote," which he published in 1605.

The war has caused an advance in the cost of potash and that will mean an increase in the price of matches. Ger many produces most of the potash supply and since the war started very little has been imported from that country. The price was formerly $35 ton, and it is now s400 ton. The sales manager of a large match company recently explained that importations of ordinary safety matches from Norway and Sweden had not yet fallen off enough to affect prices appreciably in the United States. Not only has the cost of potash increased but also of paper and other materials used in making matches. The short matches sold in small black boxes all come from abroad, but the kind sold in paper folders are made in this country as well as most of the other kinds used, in the United States. It is not believed, however, that there will be shortage in the New York market.

A Veteran in the Pensacola Journal.

A Veteran in the Pensacola Journal.
 THAvE attended many Confederat te
 reunions and I reckon have gotten
 - into the habit of measuring up the
 efficiency of the various features the
 committees had put in operation for the
 comfort and convenience of their guests.
 And chiefly those plans for the easy
 handling of the vast crowds of men and women and young people who would drop down upon them with the suddenness of a cloud of locusts in Palestine.
 I have sometime noted the absence of needed preparations and the consequent
 disappointment which would come to old
 veterans who are not city-wise and would
 find themselves alone in the great crowds
 at the railroad terminals or on the con
 gested sidewalks.
 Many of these old men are as helpless
 as children as they detrain in the con-
 gested terminals, for regardless of badges
 such as 'I live here; ask me- or of
 literature, posted or scattered, they don t know who to ask for help-help in find
 ing their lodging places on arrival, or
 other places about the city they wish
 to go to from time to time.
 Now, what Is the result? They too
 often become discouraged and take early trains for home At home, they tell their neighbors, 'it was g. mighty poor
 reunion," and for a long time they carry
 disappointment in their hearts.
 We know that is unjust to the com mittees. These committees have la
 bored long and hard on plans to conserve the comfort and conven-
 fence of everybody. But we know that the major part of the real veterans country or smaller towns. and the city bred men who usually comprise the com mittees cannot always foresee the wants of these old friends from the country. Az rule, secure lodging reservations well in advance of the reunion dates and when I land at the station have the number of my room in my pocket. I am tolerably familiar with the, principal hotels and streets in most of the larger southern cities, so enjoy feeling of superiority as it were, as I step from a crowded train into a crowded terminal But on May 18th, as I walked through the gate into the station at Birmingham. @ brand new feature greeted me and at once made me quite willing to be utterly ignorant of the surroundings. Two boy scouts quickly stepped up, each taking g. suitcase from my hands-for I. foolishly, had brought two-one asked as to my quarters. if any engaged, and as named the hotel. he asked how I would like to get there. I replied, street cars" and the two conducted me quickly to the right car, put me and my baggage
