HOTEL LOBBlES
"No Cars"


 The car shortage is still very bad, said James L. Davidson "Anent this sub ject the Coal Age has published a little poem that has appealed to the coal men fin Birmingham, entitlec No Cars:" A coal man went to Heaven one day GAS coal men sometimes dol, And they gave him a Job, with princely
 pay,
 Of running coal train through To the Kingdom of Hell. with instruc-
 tions to haul
 From the fiery birthstone bars All the railroad men whom he could re-
 call;
 But eney gave him. alas, no cars. '' So . message he sent to the realms of Fol me railroad men to be On the watch for his train. and he rang
 the bell
 With chuckle of fiendish glee. And the men lined up as they writhed in On the fiery birthstone bars; But when the coal man showed up witt
 his train,
 My God, he had no cars " And so through endless cycles of years, The railroad men line up. With hope dispelled, with groans and
 tears,
 As they drain the bitter cup. The coal man he makes his run on time, From the pearly gates to the fiery bars While the railroad men in anguish chime: My God, my God. no cars,'

THE FOOLISH STAGE PROFESSOR

From "rhe Point of View" in the March
 Scribner
 WSI HHY is it that the professor when
 WW he is parsonage in play is so
 often represented as guiltless? In the modern drama of our language Barrie's unworldly hero can be compan- toned by half a dozen or half score of other professors as unwordly as he is. In fact, it is scarcely too much to say that constant playgoers. when they discover from their playbills that the play they are about to witness contains a character described in a professor" are immedi- ately justified in expecting to behold a wool gathering innocent incoming through life, never knowing where he is at, and hopelessly ignorant of the state of his own affections.
 These constant playgoets are likely to find themselves wondering how a creature wholly unable to take care of himself ever succeeded in berng appointed to Q university chair. They wonder further more how it is that this pathetic, incap- able having once Handed his job' is able to hold it down. And finally the con- stant playgoers puzzle themselves in the vain effort to discover the special chair

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

He is told that they are made one when they are married. But it doesn't take him long to discover that he has to dig up enough for two. Why does a girl imagine that an artificial blush will make her look mod est.
 The average married woman would practice economy more than she does only she knows that if she saved anything it would give her husband more to blow In downtown.
 A girl knows that a fellow is going to marry her long before he has any idea of what is going to happen.
 A lot of fellows like to take an hour off so they can tell you how they are overworked.
 A married woman Is a person who ex- poets too much from her husband and who is entitled to more than she gets.
 Some men are born without brains. and others get married on SIP per week.
 It is good thing that our responsi- bilities are not as great as we imagine they are. If they were, few of us would live to see the age of 6.
 There wouldn't be so many divorces if man was as polite when he is al home as he is when he is away from home.
 There are a lot of human rabbits in this world who go around posing as lions
 mans idea of being treated right is to have some other man say: 'What'll va have?"
 Religion is a good thing. The trouble Is that too many people imagine that religion Is firm belief in the fact that the Lord will provide

which so guileless a professor could fill; and they are ultimately forced to fall back on the only possible professorship for so inexpert being-the one to which Mark Twain accredits the New Zealander who once was the cause of Blank Day at Yale Readers of Following the Equator" will remember that this visitor was a professor of theological engineer ing.
 Now even in New Zealand. a land of contradictions, no university has yet es- tablished chair of theological engineer ing. How Is 1t that Gear and delighted creature, fit only for this impossible pro fessorship, Is to be discovered rambling through Barrie's love story and taking more or less prominent part in other modern comedies? It is easier to put thisi question than 1t is to find the answer; and an investigation of earlier drama affords very little help. In the Italian comedy of-masks there was recognized type of professor, speaking the Bolognese dialect, because Bologna was the seat of the most famous of Italian universities. This professor was frankly a pedant, and hil mouth was crammed with quotations fron the classics; he was a figure of fun, sd up to be laughed at.

Furs and Diamonds
 ln Newark's Parade

M PARADE held in Newark the SA other day to protest against the high cost of food was not an un- qualified success. A correspondent of a New York paper states that many of the women who braved a snow storm to express their sentiments looked more prosperous than other wise. He comments on "sunbursts, lavalliers, barpins and solitaire dia- monds," while fashionable furs and modish silk stockings were much in evidence, particularly among the younger marchers whose skirts were short.
 This more or less veracious corre- spondent states further that some wag broke up the parade by shouting that bank had busted"
 Despite the fact that they wore good clothes and even jewelry, there is no reason for thinking the Newark paraders were not very much in earn est. If people who do not necessarily have to subsist on oatmeal as a staple diet during these parlous times march in a driving snowstorm to protest against high prices of food, it shows that the problem is being brought home to all classes.
 Snapshots of the women who started food riots recently in New York and incidentally quickened a movement which has led to a reduc- tion of prices, show that they, at any rate, were not accustomed to wearing diamonds, furs and silk stockings. Judging from the expres- sions on some of their faces, they could see actual starvation just around the corner.

Musical Interest
 CemGerimg Here

TT HE tenth biennial convention of H the National Federation of Music the National Federation of Music Clubs, which meets in Birmingham April 15-21, is arousing great inter- est in musical circles throughout the
 United States, and as local plans are
 being matured our citizens in gen. eral are manife5ting genuine enthu- siasm in the event. With the exception of Richmond
 and Spartanburg, with their splendid festivals, Birmingham has led the
 south in musical art pioneering New Orleans is essentially the home of opera. It has supported French opera time out of mind, but it is only in the
 last three or four years that it has
 done much to show it's appreciation of
 the symphony, which, of course, ranks first of all when it comes to absolute
 music. Opera is great, musically con-
 sidered, to be sure, but for many peo- pie who buy boxes and high price
 seats it's only appeal is in the Spec l tacular. They care little for the de- velopment of the tonal beauties of the work. It is that way in New
 York, and in Atlanta, which presents
 grand opera in finer style than New
 Orleans or any other city in the south.
 It is something for Atlanta to be
 proud of, but musical taste and under
 standing can best be promoted by
 such festivals as Richmond and l Spartanburg give annually and such
 entertainments as Birmingham en- 1 joys throughout each season.
 Festivals on large scale have been
 held here year after year. Theodore | Thomas was a feature at two festi- vals, and music lovers came from
 many states to hear the symphonies
 and the .oratorios.
 The festivals in recent years have
 been of the highest class, but the bi-
 ennial convention will be something , new for us. It will have much of
 novelty. As it will last an entire
 week it will be full of variety. A superb orchestra will come. There will
 be chorus numbers and many artist recitals. There will be lectures on
 musical subjects, and community
