As Mr.. Sayre well says, if the minis

so long, AS he might have said, il
they were gluttons they would be short

That distinguished sanitarian has pointed
to the undertaking of the poor and the

j. Laurence Laughlin. In his analysis
OF the food resources of the belligerents
the economist stressed the fact that most

COLMAR, GERMAN CAPITAL

French possession. In 1878 the latter ma
ton again occupied the town and pro-
ceded to raze the Notifications. Eight
years later Louis XIV annexed it to
France by formal decree. and it remained
in possession Of that country as the
capital of the Haut-Rhin department
until 1871, when, with the other cities of
Alsace and Lorraine. it was added by
conquest to the German empire.
in addition to Bartholdi, in whose
honor a monument has been erected in
the city, Colmar boasts of the foremost
German painter of the fifteenth century.
Martin Schongauer, as native son. The
finest example of this artists work is TO
be found here in the thirteenth century
Church of st. Martin. The canvas II
called '.the Madonna of the Rosehedge.'
Schongauer founded famous school OF
engraving in Colmar, from which sprung
the little masters and an important
group of Nuremberg artists. The famous
Dominican nunnery of Unterhnden,
founded in 1892. has been converted into
Schongauer museum, which contains
many early German paintings and room
set aside for the plaster casts and models
of Bartholdi. who died in 1904.
'Colmar probably occupies the site OF
the Roman settlement of Columbarium,
but the first mention of the place in
Frankish history occurs in 1923 al royal

Emperor Constantine who was surnamed
The Pious,' when he banished his sisters
from court because of their immoral
lives. In the same century Charles the

BAD PEOPLE FLEE

From the Selma Journal
THE police department established a
record that cannot be surpassed when
the gates at the Alabama State Fair
closed Saturday night" said Sergeant of
Police d. C. Simmons, who was in charge
of the policemen at the fair.
mot single arrest was made in the
fair grounds during the entire 10 days,
nor was there a pickpocket reported to
ported to the police. This is a record to
be proud of by every citizen of this city,
as well as the police department.
Some say that prohibition is the cause
of this Jew record, but am of the opin-
ion that all the bad people have left Biz
mingham, and everybody is getting bet
ter.-Birmingham Age-Herald.
1t is a pleasure to the rest Of Alabama
to know that the bad people have fled
away from big Birmingham. 1t is just
a simple testimony to the old, old story
that the wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth."
Not an arrest, not pickpocket, not 4
disorderly case of any kind serious
enough to warrant an arrest during the
entire big fair at the Magic City is in
deed a record that should and would
make any city proud of the fact Biz
mingham certainly did herself proud and
we are so rejoiced that the bad people
are leaving there and not coming back,
we hope it will ever remain thus.
