MY LIGHT WITH YOURS

By Edgar Lee Masters in Reedy's Mir.
 TOT.
 When the sea has devoured the ships And the spires and the towers Have gone back to the hills. And all the cities Are one with the plains again; And the beauty of bronze And the strength of steel Are blown over silent continents As the desert sand is blown My dust with yours forever.
 When folly and wishdom are no more, And fire is no more, Because man is no more; When the dead world slowly spinning Drifts and falls through the void-- My light with yours In the Light of Lights forevexl

Tribute to Mrs, BIinu

''In the death of Mrs. Annie Anderson Blinn mother of George A. Blinn; Mrs. J. W. Donnelly and Mrs F. G. Sheppard. Birmingham loses one of the most lov- able characters" said Bertram Jacobs. "I am voicing the experience of a host of friends when I say that we are better for having known her. Hers was the charity which 'thinketh no evil No harsh words fell from her lips. Life was good to her because she was good to all-com- passionate. patient ever cheerful
 Tn Mrs. Blinn sweetness of disposition was blended with an unusually clear intel- lect. She could not grow old because she was always growing in mind and soul. Indeed, those who met her never thought of age They felt the glow of a spirit on which passing years could cast no cloud
 All of us appreciated her most as the ideal mother, serenely happy in her chll- dren, gratefully proud of them To her granddaughters she was the older sister and companion. The world had moved on since her girlhood, but she had moved with 1t. And in turn she received from the members of her family measure of devotion accorded to few women. AS an instance. George Blinn, busy man that he Is, never left home in the morning with out first going next door to see Mother
 The end was as natural as the sun set of beautiful day. She went into the great beyond on the wings of love-"

Good Terapin Fisherman

Fishing is fine this time of the year, and especially with me- said Stanley Atkins. T went out Friday and spent the day and had a. big time, a good din- her, but the fish had evidently had plenty to eat before got there for the very best I could do was to bring back one little terapin.
 T thought since I had worked so hard to get that terapin that I would take him over to the zoo in Avondale, but I am afraid that they would not appreciate him like I do. But if you want to get fooled good and proper. let one of these terapins snatch your line when you are just itching to get a fish bite. You will think whale has got hold of your hook. But they are easy to land, just like pulling a brick bat out of the lake," con- cluded MT. Atkins

Roosevelt Army
a WisiomarY ScheErae


 ID RESIDENT WILSON'S sound 0 common sense again asserted itself when he declined to authorize Mir. Roosevelt to raise a volunteer army for service in France. After reading MT. Wilson's dignified and convincing statement, in which he takes occasion to compliment MT. Roosevelt, no right-thinking person could accuse him of harboring self ish motive.
 Mir. Wilson explains that he is act ing on the advice of experts, both In the United States and abroad. MT. Roosevelts volunteer army would not only cause an exception to be made In the plans of the war department, but would be showing favoritism to one man. although it may be true that his prestige and past performances in public life entitle him to much con- sideration. "The prompt creation and early use of an effective army" would have been retarded rather than ad- vanced by the Roosevelt scheme.
 The war in Europe calls for expert leadership and soldiers of the highest efficiency. It would be absurd to think that MT. Roosevelt acquired enough military experience in the brush with Spain to fit him for an important post in the European war. It is true that he stated his willingness to act under regular army officers, but it is rather difficult to imagine the fiery colonel taking orders from anybody.
 One of the most serious objections made to the Roosevelt plan was the fact that Mr. Roosevelt wanted to take practically the cream of the American army officers abroad with him, thus crippling the forces that would come later and taking away men who would be urgently needed to train raw troops for service in Europe.
 MT. Wilson assumes the responsi- bility for this war and it is evident that he does not intend to let anyone's desire for personal glory interfere with the most practical solution of the problems before the country. A few of MT. Roosevelt's admirers may find fault with the President and accuse him of playing petty politics. but this attitude is manifestly unfair and un- patriotic. MT. Roosevelt could certain ly take no offense. There are many ways in which he can serve his coun- try better than by raising a volunteer army.

 My boy. Coonrod, like the story of the Prodigal Son so much that he lowed he'd be one," related MT. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. Ark. "He says to me, Gimme what's coming co me- I studied over 1t for spell. and then casually knocked him down with a neckyoke. There! says I. You've got what's com ing to you and all the rest of the Prodigal Sons, without the trouble of sa a'ntering away off some'rs after it. Get up. and blow that there corn, Also, he done it."

Young Health Crusaders

T have just received from Miss Cop Ian, teacher, a fine sackful of tin foil, weighing pound 91h ounces, collected by first-grade children in South Highlands school. This Is sample of what is be- ing done," said Dr. Eaves, '1n many schools. I have heard of several children who were already hoarding this material for their own profit but have turned it all in for the Anti Tuberculosis associa- tion. This is splendid. Here is great field for summer work by all modern health crusaders and If they will send me their names. careful record of what they do may be kept to their credit as crusaders stunts. As I send this in, an- other sack, marked Catherine Sturgess,' reaches me, and proves to weigh 1A pounds. May Catherine read this and let me have her address and her school"

Engineering Bureau

'One of the latest things the Civic as- sociation has done." said J. B. Babb, general manager of the association, 'is the organization of bureau of indus trial engineering.
 So far as I know, this association is the only civic organization in the coun- try with such a bureau. This bureau will be composed of competent business men and will be for the assistance of any factory or mill that desires it's aid The bureau will make a careful analysis of any such factory or mill and diagnose what the trouble with 1t is, and recom- mend measures for its relief. The bu- reau will work to bring about the adop- tion of more efficient methods in carrying the business on; will point out weak places and give all the assistance within its power. Something of the kind has been long needed in Birmingham, and We feel that the bureau will be of real service"
