The Kind of Dog
Really Worth While

M@9llW W0TGIN w 1AAAS
 M7 OWATA SWINLEY LILLIEN IN was sold the other day in New York for $2000. Nowata is neither baseball player nor motion picture star, but a ridiculously small Pe- kingese poodle, worth his weight in gold. He was judged the best toy dog at the Westminster Kennel club saow
 Nowata brought record price for dogs of his type. The sum paid for him is considerably more than the average salaried man in the United States earns by twelve months of hard work; 1t would buy handsome touring car, or cozy bungalow where real estate values are not in- Hated. In fact, $200O would buy many things the average person would IdIHeI nave Ciidll q POOuiC.
 Furthermore, there are thousands of dogs basking in the sun today, or trotting about the streets, or stand- ing guard over childish friends at play, who wouldn't bring one-tenth as much money as Nowata brought, if put up for sale, but are more useful, more lovable and more trustworthy than pampered poodle that has had his disposition spoiled by too much coddling.
 The homeless yellow cur, with a friendly gleam in his eye and tail that never tires of wagging, inspires more respect and affection in true dog lover than all the Nowatas that ever looked scornfully down from a silken cushion.

Regarding the Contour
 of Birmnimgham's Foot

THE Guntersville Democrat de- q clared recently that "Birning- ham has shown the eleven foot in the matter of the nitrate plant. It is per fectly clear that the site suggested on the Warrior is ineligible, inadequate and not to be considered, but it could could be use to draw attention from Muscle Shoals and reduce the chance of locating the plant in the state"
 The Huntsville Mercury says, 7" We agree with the editor of the Gunters- vile Democrat that Birmingham shows the cloven foot, and not only the cloven foot but pair of the long, est ears ever worn by great city. Birmingham can be depended on to misunderstood the blue grass valley of the Tennessee on every occasion to the detriment of her own and our pocketbooks.
 The aggrieved attitude of the Dem- ocrct and the Mercury is surprising, in view of the fact that Birmingham's business men have worked hard to ob- tain the nitrate plant for Muscle Shoals, and public opinion here has not changed. A fund was quickly raised to help finance the campaign and Birmingham has never ceased to take lively interest in the project. No well informed person questions the advantages offered by Muscle Shoals for the nitrate plant.
 It is true that suggestion was made that a subsidiary plant be located on the Warrior river, but this was not intended in any way to miti- rate against the plans of the Tennes- ..s valley. The citizen who made the -ncQestion conceded the superiority of fuscle Shoals.

 patch.
 German submarines arc threatening to sink the newest Paris fashions for Amer ican women as we'll as American ships. Tn the region of Fifth avenue shops that are headquarters for feminine styles there is a state of uncertainty that threatens seriously spring gowns and Easter hats. This is the time of the year when clever representatives of the leading establish ments that import French models go to Paris to pick the seasons newest and choicest creations of fashion for Amer ican women The submarine menace has temporarily blockaded this ocean travel and disarranged all plans. While goods can be shipped across. it is the blockade of buyers fearing to risk the ocean trips under present conditions that halts selec- tions and purchases. What Fifth avenue dislikes more than anything else is the possibility of having to repeat a last years design.

I annmnamy to Make
A Great Showing


 TT AMMANY is to march 12,000 9 strong in the inaugural parade, The leaders were not hearty in their support of Woodrow Wilson last fall. Nominally and traditionally demo- cratic organization, Tammany thinks more of plums than of party prin- ciples.
 On several occasions it's lukewarm- ness in national campaigns has been equivalent to party betrayal. It never hesitates to trade off the pres idency for state offices. It was much that way in 1916.
 Had the election hinged on New York Wilson would have gone down in defeat-certainly if it were left to Tammany to roll up deciding vote.
 President Wilson had not allowed Tammany to control the federal pat ronage in New York and that being so there was no bond of sympathy be- tween the White House and the New York wigwam. That state of affairs made it all the easier for the repub- Jeans to carry the Empire common wealth.
 But Tammany knows how to forget the past and look to the future. In practical politics it is unsurpassed. There is new patronage to be dis tributed and Chief Murphy will make a play for 1t. For the time being, therefore, Tammany will, to all ap- pearances, be stalwart supporter of the administration. At any rate, the braves will walk six abreast in the inaugural pageant. Each marcher will be well groomed and wear high silk hat. The organization will make a mighty impression on the populace from various sections of the country. Tammany greatly offends the national democracy from time to time but be- tween elections the national leaders are glad to keep in touch with MT. Murphy and his lieutenants. In the parade Tammany will be one of the notable features.

Progressives Will
 Organize for 1920

@HORTLY after President Wilson's ~ second inauguration the straight republicans and the Roosevelt pro- gressives will hold formal confer ence for the purpose of planning a campaign for 1920. The g. O. DIS de- feat last year will make it we'll nigh impossible for the reactionaries to again dominate the forces opposing the democracy. The partisans of Theodore Roosevelt will get in the saddle and stay there, so far as the next republican campaign is con-
 cerned. There will be no more yield ing to pressure brought to bear by the standpatters.
 Looking four years ahead no one
 can say what the democrats will do, but it is safe to assume that Roose- welt will be the only candidate in evil
 dence to run against the democratic ticket. A reunited republican party
 was delusion and snare The next time the progressive element in the
 republican organization will take over
 the regulars, lock, stock and barrel. The prospect is not pleasing to the reactionaries. Just how it will strike the democrats, remains to be seen. It
 will depend upon what happens in Washington between now and 1920

 dustrial expansion; that the labor was
 here for mining and iron and steel

 if there is a demand for the product
 the labor will be forthcoming.
 There are many persons yet living
 who can remember when Grand Rap

 one there was familiar with the wood
 working craft. It has only been a
 comparatively few years ago when
 High Point, N. C., had not single furniture factory. Now it is lively
 rival of Grand Rapids.
 Birmingham buying tables and

 ing away for the bulk of it's food
 stuffs which could be grown at home. Crop diversification is coming, and
 coming fast and it will be the same way with small industries, provided
 the traffic bureau makes good. % According to the newspaper headlines, America draws closer to war with Ger many every day. Some of the yellow Journals will have a fit if the big guns ever start to roaring. Pro-Germans reiterate that Germany
 does not want war with the United States. That may be true, but she doesn't
 seem to have healthy fear of war with
 the United States. x * The submarines are said to be interfer- ing with the styles. Some of those ex- cessively thin girls with little round hats

 The story of a farmer who bought two
 glasses of beer with potato was prob ably not exaggerated Beer costs more than that however, in the prohibition belt.
 There is every reason for believing that New York's ''onion king" who made s1,- o00, ,0o0 in six months, Is 8 man with
 strong personality. There is a disposition to regard some of
 out for larger salaries as malefactors of great wealth. If the late Professor Langley were liv- ing now he would be photographed with Edison, Ford and other great inventors of the country.
 John Bull faces the dire prospect of 1 having to reduce his tipple. As a result he is rapidly acquiring a deep seated
 grouch.
 The birth control advocates of New York are forced to take back seat while food demonstrations" are being organ ized. 3f..8s}t45e VI ,s The celerity with which Dutch ships are

Well Arranged Course

q was greatly impressed with the statement in The Age-Herald Sunday morning to the effect that the speak CTS for the 1yceum course had been selected so that all the phases of the European war could be presented to the patrons of the course in logicai and comprehensive manner" said C.. Lewis Bailes yesterday. "I think Dr. Charles A. Brown, principal of the Central High school. has shown won derful judgment in arranging the course this year.
 Every speaker who has been se- lected to discuss the war has been an of the conflict. Each has dealt in an enlightening and instructive manner upon the struggle, yet there has been no repetition. Anyone who has at- tended all of these lectures Is obliged to have a fine understanding of the suits and the causes which led up to 1t.
 '"The selection of Dr. J. Paul Goode of the University of Chicago, who will discuss the economic side of the war at the Central High school auditorium Thursday nihgt, was most fortunate one. Dr. Goode Is recognized as one of the foremost students and authoriL ties on economics in the country and his Knowledge on this side of the war is most accurate and valuable"

Signs of Spring

While we may still have some few disagreeable days. so far as the weather is concerned, think we may safely say that spring is here," said Sol Caheen. 'rhe other day while out in the country saw a red robin and I mentioned this fact to the friend I was staying with who, by the way, is a well informed ag- riculturists as well as being a student of nature and animal life. He stated that while the robin was accounted an habin- ger of spring he stated a more sure sign was the lizard, and that he had seen two on the previous day. While these signs, like the ground hog proposition, do not always pan out, I think we may safely conclude that the backbone of win ter Is broken and that the most beaute-
 ous season of the year Is at hand"

Avoid Useless Litigation

Birmingham and Jefferson county have recently been treated to some splen- did examples of the legal technicalities statutes passed by the state legislatures" said J. R. Stanley yesterday. '"This has been especially marked in the litigation connected with the solicitors offices, the coroner and the city and county health departments and the street tax. Even the men who wrote the laws and who helped to pass then do not seem to be able to tell what the law is.
 Aside from the vast expense and the trouble caused by this uncertainty and litigation over the constitutionality of legislative acts, it is great inconven- fence to the citizen generally who do not
 know who is the duly constituted of ficial. All that one of these officials does may soon be rendered invalid should the supreme court rule against him. "Tt would seem to me to be a good plan to have the supreme court pass upon the constitutionality of laws before they are signed by the governor, or at least before they become effective. Of course 1t would mean more work on that court during the session of the legislature, but it would certainly greatly reduce their
 work later on, for they would be re- lived of the constant litigation which al- ways follows the efforts to knock out various laws"
