years it jumped to SOOoOO. This will be the case with Birmingham.
 '"The advantages of the south are these: First. it has the only cheap agricultural lands left in the United States; second. it has the only un- developed resources of coal, iron ana timber close to tidewater
 After the war this country and this district will be called upon to feed, clothe and rehabilitate the manufac- turing industries and transportation facilities of those nations at war. More than half of the manufacturing indus tries of France at the present time are within the enemies lines. and when evacuated, if Germany pursues her present policy, will be destroyed. These will have to be rebuilt and the United States will have to rebuild them. Rus sia under a democracy. will have commercial revolution and will go ahead as never before. We know where England stands. These coun- tries are all our friends. bound to us not only by the ties financial, but by those of genuine friendship. Neither England Germany, nor France will be in a position to take up or supply their foreign trade where they left off, and we will be called upon for several years to come to supply the world $
 
 EXPORT FINISHED PRODUCTS
 From an exporter or raw products we will soon be an exporter of the finished article. Heretofore we have had the handicap of cheaper labor in foreign countries. With losses of near ly 5000. 900 men in this war, it Is easy to see that the cost of labor will ad- vance to such a point that plus the freight, we need not fear this handi- cap any longer. eSouth American mar
 kets should be ours by right of loca-
 tion and quicker transportation In
 these markets the south stands pre-
 eminent and the Birmingham district
 stands above all others. South Ameri-
 ca needs our coal and our lumber. Bra
 gil and Argentine have practically no
 coal This trade should be Birming-
 hams and will be ours If she just goes
 after it. Likewise. because of our be- ing closer to the Panama canal, the west coast trade of South America, Oceania and the Orient. will be fed through the south. Perhaps it is not generally known that already Calves ton stands around third in exports and as much grain. if not more, goes through that port than through Buff faIo although the latter has the whole Great Lakes and northwest trade from which to draw.
 Furthermore. when the war ends. ] we will be carrying this trade under the American flag. We will have es- ktablished a merchant marine end a carrying trade. which will be hard to get away from us. The item of freight lupon our exports paid to Germany and England and the interest upon our se- curities owned abroad made up the balance of trade against us previous to the war. All of this will be changed. We have bought back the securities and we are building the merchant marine.
 Birmingham is bound to share in all the coming prosperity, because the | good Lord has favored her far be yond any section of the United States , All we have to do to hasten this pros | together for it.'

Dry Forces Score.
Prince Georges County Dry
After November l.

Last week bill was passed at the
special session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture to prohibit the sale of liquor in
Prince Georges county after Nov. LIST,
next. 1t is certain that the Governor
will sign the bill.
This county borders on the District of
Columbia, law having been passed
some time ago which prohibits the sale
of liquor therein after Nov. l. The Dis
trict saloon men were making a grand
rush to locate in the adjacent county,
many of them already having purchased
property in which to locate their saloons.
By the county going dry, these men will
lose thousands of dollars, but the county
people will be rid of the saloons and the
usual amount of disorder occasioned by
patrons of those places.
The vote in the House was ga votes for
the bill and 32against it. The Frederick
county members all voted for the passage
of the bill.

GuardSmen NAV Wait.

Drafting of the National Guard into
the Federal armies for war service may
be delayed until August S because it has
been found that under the present plans
for drafting the guard in three incre-
ments, July Is, July rs and August s,
the relative rank of it's officers would be
established on an unfair basis. The Ma
tional Defense act provides that National
Guard officers shall take rank as of the
date of draft.
The additional time gained by postpon-
ing the daft until August 5 would be
valuable to the department in making
ready the divisional camp sites at which
the state forces will be modified, and
also would permit the assembling of ad-
ditional equipment for the troops.

Still Needs 1000 Doctors.

DR.. Joseph C, Bloodgood, chairman of
the Committee on Preparedness of the
Southern Medical Association, has made
an appeal for volunteers to fill many va
cancies still in the Medical Reserve Corps
and the Medical Corps in the army.
"There is a crying need" says DR..
Bloodgood. "for young men under IS
years of age to volunteers In the Medical
Reserve Corps. There are 5000 already
enlisted, and 5000 others have been
recommended for commissions, but there
is need for 20, 200 volunteers. and that
is 5000 more than we have. The re-
quirements are that the candidates be
graduates of medicine, but hospital ex
perience is not necessary. There are
committees on preparedness in every
State, and volunteers must report to
these bodies"
Regarding the Medical Corps in the
army which requires 100 physicians
and surgeons, DR.. Bloodgood says that
only 600 are now enlisted. There are
about 300 under examination, but many
fail to pass the physical tests. The re-
suit is that about 1900 volunteers are
needed.
Applicants for the medical corps in
the army must be under 80 years of age.
and be graduates of medicine with at
least one year of hospital experience.
The surgeon general of the army has the
medicine to protect the army against
disease, but not the men. If the volun-
teer system fails, the draft may be ex-
pected.

PLACE OF MEAUX IN HISTORY
Little French City Is Nearest Spot tc
Paris Trod by Germans in Their
Advance of 1914

The little French city of MeauX, near
Paris, has gained an immortal place
in history. 1t marks the high tide Of
the German advance in 1914, the near
est spot to Paris where the PrussianS
trOd. Thus far the advance patrols
penetrated, and here they were re-
called to swing off in the great detour
that ended in retreat. Over Meaux
flashed the German Taubes, looking
down in puzzled misunderstanding at
the endless scurrying line Of Partisan
taXicabs that bore the French Sixth
army to the front to save the city. 1t
was something new in transport, this
army in taxicabs, and the Germans,
accustomed to do all things by rule.
as rush Of the people of Paris to
surrender themselves to the invader.
| Near Meaux you see one of the most
significant things in Europe-the first
grave. Less than 80 kilometers from
Paris this unknown Frenchman fell.
Over his body is a bare oblong wire
fencing off q little white cross. There
! are lIeEtl1ly OL lneSS IuCG
graves dotting the pleasant plains OF
northern France, but this is the near
est of them all to Paris itself. A little
farther and you find them scattered
more and more thickly, and now some
of. them are capped by black crosses
instead of white, to mark the spot
! where a Prussian lies. And over the
bodies of German and Frenchman the
lush crops are crowding in, for this
section of France is being intensively
cultivated as no region has been be-
fore.
A few kilometers northward and
eastward is the first of the great D2en-
uments raised over a common grave,
where the dead lie by hundreds. The
French engineers have erected many
of these. They tower UP In the fiat
land as the memory of those who lie
below will tower in the minds Of fu-
ture generations. The wheat may rus
tie green about them and the traffic OF
peace flow by, but the countryside VIII
be forever hallowed by the memory OF
q crisis when namelesS men laid down
their lives wholesale that q nation
might live.

PAY JEWELER HIS OWN MONEY
Into Signing Name to Order for
Three Hundred Pounds.

A very clever swindle was success
fully carried out in the Rue de Ia Paix,
Paris. A carriage drove up to large
jewelers. shop, and an elderly man,
with his arm in a sling, accompanied
by a footman, who carried a rug, en-
tered the shop.
The gentleman selected and bought
some three hundred pounds worth of
jewelry, and then said, "If you do not
mind, l will send my man home for
the money" The jeweler bowed, and
the gentleman continued: Il should
be pleased if you would write for me.
l have hurt my arm. Just write,
Please give Robert three hundred
pounds and sign it Henri"
The jeweler wrote as he was direct
ed, and in a quarter of an hour the
footman came back with the money,
and then he, with his master, left with
the jewelry.
When the jeweler went home to
dinner his wife asked him the reason
he had sent for three hundred pounds.
Then the swindle was discovered. The
rogues knew that the jewelers. name
was Henri, and they had got him to
write the note for the money, which
was taken to his wife, and then they
paid him for the jewels with his OWL
money!

"Up Aoain!"

When we were little shavers, tod
ding about the house and went down
on the floor or the ground because our
feet could not keep up with our am
bition to run and "get there" right off;
grandmother, a lovely old down East
lady, would sing out to US: 'Up again!
Never mind! That didn't hurt you!
Up again! !" So up again we would
jump, all the hurt gone, just because
grandmother cheered US to try it over
again, writes Vincent in Farm Life.
Sam Jones has had the luck Of bad
crops two or three years. Things have
seemed against him. But he has been
as brave as a lion. No frost can ever
come that froze the smile from his
face or withered the hope in his heart
And he is right at it this year, just
as if he had had the best of luck all
through the years.
But [ wonder who of his neighbors
has been down to sing out to Sam !:
up again, old mani This is all right !!
You'll, come out all right-can't help
it r
I don't know of anybody that has
had time to look up from his own hoe
ing and p1owing and digging long
enough to do that; it's a shame, too !!
Come on! Let's go down right now
and cheer Sam up a bit! Maybe we
can give him a lift at the work. too.
All the world will be the brighter for
it after that-to Sam and to you and
! to me, writes Vincent in Farm Life.

Value of "Wire DraqWork."

''HVire dragwork" is a technical ex-
preston used in connection with the
making of coast surveys and the map
ping Of ocean waters. Such surveys
are necessary in order to chart the
routes of coastwise traffic and in max
ing them the ocean is dragged below
the surface to discover hidden dangers
to navigation. This is done with a
wire instrument constructed for this
purpose, and it sometimes discloses
dangers unknown and unsuspected be-
fore. The secretary of commerce says
in his annual report: Zone of the rocks
discovered in Alaska is truly q sort of
submerged Washington monument, ex-
cept that it is taller than the monu-
ment 1t rises over 600 feet from the
bottom of the channel to within IT
feet of the surface. 1t is surrounded
by deep water on all sides and is now
located on our charts where 100 faith
oms 1854 feet was formerly recorded.
The finding of this single pinnacle will
more than pay the cost through many
years of the entire Wire-drag work on
all our coasts if it shall prevent sim
gle wreck theron"

Pink Tea Workers Barred.

Red Cross workers and war work
ers of all types are up against the
old-age problems of organizers

banner flaunts into view

Camera Lenses Wanted.

The United States signal corps has
issued an appeal to the owners Of all
high-grade cameras. The signal corps
needs the lenses of their machines for
war work. 1t is known that the Unit
ed States bureau of standards has
solved the problem of manufacturing
high-grade optical glass for aircraft
camera lenses, but apparently they
cannot be produced in quantity fast
enough to equip our feet of airplanes.
The United States has always been 4
great field for amateur photographers,
and there are large number of high
grade European-made lenses scattered
about the country. These lenses the
signal corps wants to buy. Long TO-
Gus lenses working at large apertures
are the only kind which can be used.
