From the New York World.
 The colonel is going to war, of course, and "ny four sons will go and one and perhaps both of my sons-in-laws" but the rest of it is a sad tale, my mates. Right off the bat the colonel is going ito die in thousands of fever and dys- entery and lung troubles in the camps What is just as bad, the colonel is going to ''be butchered needlessly in battle ' We do not understand why but appar- ently it is because "21 months have passed since the great war began" and the United States has not yet mobilized.
 The tears course down our furrowed cheeks when we think of this wanton sac- rifice of the colonel, and we have prac- tically decided not to let him or any of the Roosevelts go to war. We cannot spare them. They are too precious. So we have decided to keep them at home to repel William Randolph Hearst's Japan CSC invasion. That can be done with a handiest men that ever swung typewrit- CT into action
 Having stopped this holocaust of Roose- velts, we are sure that everything will be al, right again at Oyster Bay When the war begins, if it ever begins, the colonel can hang out the sign, Business as Usual, and catch all editions of the afternoon papers, with a specially signed statement for the morning papers. The colonel is saved.

PICTURE AND ITS FRAME

From "The Field of Art" in the May
 Scribner.
 TIT is a significant sign of the unim- portance accorded to picture research on the subject, one can only discover an occasional notice of some individual frame among a mass of de- tail comprised under the generic title of Frames" which ranges from chim- ney pieces, door furniture, and giran- doles down to the designs employed in book illustration, called by the French "cartouches.'
 Only in Italy was the art of picture framing 8 fine art. and the examples worth studying belong almost entirely to that country.
 Picture frames are of comparatively modern origin. for during the long period of the Middle Ages such porta- ble pictures as existed were enclosed in wooden cases with doors and had, consequently, no frames. while mir TOTS were not yet in existence. It was not till life became more settled and houses were considered in relation to peace as well as war, that the custom began to prevail of placing pictures on walls They start, therefore, in the fifteenth century and are at the height of their perfection in the sixteenth.

QUICK WIT OF MANSFIELD

From the New York Telegraph.
 Now that Arnold Daly is reviving Beau Brummel," various anecdotes of the late Richard Mansfield. who created the title role, are being revived. W. J. Ferguson, who acted the valet in the original pro- duction. and who is now one of the pi- rates in Treasure Island" has remem- bered one.
 In the character of the valet it was Ferguson's place to hand the Beau his gloves, his stick, and finally his hat. Upon the opening night he proffered the hat to Mansfield, turned the wrong way around. Had the Beau put on the hat ir the way it was handed to him and strolled down Piccadilly or Bond street, the faux pas might have created a scandal. When Ferguson discovered his error he turned pale under his makeup.
 Nal sfield was quick to grasp the sit uation, and with one of his most courtly bows gave the hat back to the valet so that he might turn it around, which Ferguson did with pantomimic apology.
 As Mansfield put on the hat and passed out of the door he whispered to Fergu- son: That's good piece of business keep it in.

ists knew that for painting to be rightly appreciated it was necessary to enclose it in some kind of surround; they knew, too, that it could never be matter of caprice what that par ticular surround should be, but that it must be chosen scientifically and with due regard to the, effect of the painting on the spectator and of the whole as a work of art.
 It is only necessary to study the fine examples that are still in exist ence from the best period of this art, which appears to have been exclusive ly Italian, to realize that neither chance nor fashion entered into it. On the contrary, it was the outcome of an instinctive aesthetic sentiment of feel ing for the beautiful in conjunction with an almost scientific appreciation of what would enhance the intelligent understanding of the picture. Whether we look at them in their richness or their simplicity we shall note that the structure of the frame was first care fully studied and adapted to it's pur- pose of suitably enclosing the picture, and that it's subsequent enrichment, whether by modelling, gliding, paint ing, or however. lost their native character, and coming under French in fluence became more and more debased until all sobriety of treatment disap- peared.

Mobile Well Fortified

The strength of the fortifications at Fort Morgan protecting the entrance to Mobile bay have been greatly strenth- ened recently" said John B. Battle, as- sistant United States engineer at Mobile, who was in Birmingham yesterday. 'I have recently been engaged in the work of strengthening these forts and in pre- pairing for the erection of a number of additional guns
 "At the present time, Fort Morgan has guns of all sizes up to 12 inches and the number of each kind has been increased recently. At the present the range of the 12-inch guns is only 10 miles, but they are to be changed so that they can shoot IA miles Tn addition, there are numerous 1O-inch, S-inch, 6-inch and other guns of smaller size
 Mobile is a well protected city at this time. In addition to Fort Morgan and the other Notifications at the entrance of the bay, about 30 miles below Mobile, the channel leading to the city is ex- tremely narrow and it would be very diff flcult for foreign ships to get within shooting distance of Alabama's only port"

HOTEL LOBBIES
Tourlst Travel to Mlchignn

The number of people from the south who are spending their summers in Michigan is increasing every year." said George E. Wilt travelling passen- ger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, who was in Birmingham yesterday Mir Wilt was here on business for his line and made the trip to New Orleans last night on the first run of. the new passenger train inaugurated by the Louisville and Nashville between Birmingham and Montgomery, Mobile, Pensacola and New Orleans.
 One can find in Michigan all that can be suggested by the word summer '" said MT. Wilt. There is the cottage and camp life along the lakes and streams a plan of vacation which is yearly claim Ing larger numbers of devotees. There is the life in hotels of the finest and most luxurious type to suit those who de- sire this kind of vacation, and then there are the less expensive hotels to suit the people of moderate means. The fishing in the lakes and streams is excep- tionally fine and then there are the great lakes. The most delightful trips can be taken to all the various points of interest along the great lakes and even to Can ada. The people of the south seem to en- joy summer in Michigan and we ex- pect to have an even larger number this year than ever before. Many of the wealthy people of this section who would go to Europe will try Michigan and thus increase the number of vacationists in that section of the country"

REEs IN NEW ZEALAND

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 Beekeepers in this country might proht by taking a leaf from the book of the New Zealanders, United States Consul General Alfred A. Winslow, located at Auckland has investigated the beekeep- ing industry in that far-away country, and has furnished some interesting sta tistics to Commerce Reports. He says that, since 1907, disease among bees has been kept under control and the business in general has been prosperous. In 1915 there were 1120O beelzeepers in New Zea- land who owned ,34O hives, with an esti- mated production valued at $250,O00 Ex- perts confidently predict that the output will be doubled during the present sea- son. The bookkeeping industry is regu- lated by the government of New Zealand to the extent at least of securing the in tegrity of the export product. All honey is inspected and graded by government experts before 1t is allowed to be ex- ported. The industry Is well organized, practically all beekeepers belonging to the National Beekeepers' association. With similar precautions, there would doubt less be a great broadening of the indus try in this country.

Two Weeks From Today

The Confederate reunion will begin two weeks from today and all essen tial details incident to this great event have been arranged for Birmingham was crowded on the occasion of the last reunion here eight years ago, but there was no discomfort. It was in fact one of the most enjoyable af- fairs of the kind ever known in the south.
 The forthcoming reunion will bring even a larger crowd. There may not be as many veterans in attendance, because thousands of the old soldiers who were with us in 1908 now rest beneath the sod, but the Sons and the Daughters of the Confectionery will make up in numbers what we will miss of the scared remnant of the men who fought bravely for the Lost Cause. From preliminary reports, larger number of organizations will be represented at this reunion than in any former year.
 The Chamber of Commerce com mittees have worked untiringly to make this gathering memorable, and General Chairman R. A. Brown has measured fully up to his responsibili- ties as he always does in promoting or managing any large enterprise which he happens to be called upon to shoulder for the public good
 Everything has been provided that might contribute to the pleasure or comfort of the visitors. If the if nance committee should find that it needs more money than it has in sight, there will be no trouble in raising it the week before the reunion.
 Next Saturday will be flag day, when little Confederate flags will be sold on the streets for the benefit of the general fund, and those in charge hope in this way to raise $4000 or $5000. But the flag, to be worn on the coat as token of hospitality, will have sentimental side that must not be undervalued.
 Let every citizen, therefore, buy a flag-badge, no matter how much he may have contributed to the reunion cause. Birmingham has tag days, flag days and button days every year, but next Saturday will be the last time that the people here will have an opportunity of helping care for the reunion by buying flag.

Paris has long hae the distinction of being the worlds distributing center for Indian pearls, but after the war started Bombay exporters found their markets in London and Paris were no longer profitable. The diamond markets of Paris London and Amsterdam were sim ilarly affected and when the Germans occupied that Belgian port, Antwerp's trade in precious stones was paraIyzed. On the contrary customs records show that the importation of pearls from Bom- A government expert, who examines practically all the precious stones enter ing the United States, says that more In- dian pearls are coming direct from Bonn bay to New York than ever before. Bonn bay merchants formerly shipped their pearls to Paris and, to less extent, to London, where they were distributed to the European and American trade by French and English dealers. The war not only made this method of distribution impracticable, but has destroyed the de- mand fer pearls in the old world. The Bombay merchants found the only solu- ton of their difficulty in direct trade with America, where great prosperity has increased the sales of precious stones They sent Indian agents to this country who worked up trade. Maiden Lane and Fifth avenue dealers have received i'm portations direct and some of the New York banks have been sent consignments Of pearls from Bombay, which they have sold to American buyers

"Dissecting" Society

Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons of New York recently delivered an address m Chicago which left society, so to speak, all shot to pieces. Mrs. Par sons was not discussing society Tn general, be it known, as the term IS used by the sociologists, but that part of it which is supposed to "set the pace"
 Mrs. Parsons has a caustic tongue, hut whether she is merely that phe- nomenon. a woman humorist, or real lv thinks society is doomed, IS a mat fer that cannot be decided here. She says the social superstructure IS about to fall because people with bralns no longer have time for it and 1t is losing leaders; woman suffrage, club i1e' business and sociological work are taking women of talent away from It and since it is a female autocracy, +bis defection is necessarily fatal 1; young girls no longer frequent society where the men are uninterestlng ana look elsewhere for their mates, re- gardless of scheming mamas; and last but not least, it is being made ridiculous by an economic age.
 Much more to the same purpose the speaker imparted to her audience, composed of Chicago's most exclusive people. Of the men who make living by staying in society, of the devious ways followed by the Climbers" to get into society, of the reprehenslble conduct of many persons who have baen "inn for sometime she spoke at length.
 These periodic outbursts have more piouancy when they come from some me on the inside of the pale, whose attitude cannot be charged to sour grapes.o Reformers of various sorts and sizes fill the land with clamor, asking what's the matter with this, that and everything under the sum- and while most of them feel compe- tent to answer their questions, few of them do so in a way that does not in- vite more ribaldry than respect.
