Builders of Chinese
Houses Anticipated
Steel Construction

An interesting article under the
above caption appears in the most
recent issue of the Far Eastern Re-
view to hand:
''The ardent student of things Chi
nese usually contrives to find Chi
nese precedent for every new thing
that is done or discovered in the
west, so it will not surprise anyone to
learn that the Chinese anticipated
the principles underlying modern
steel and concrete construction by
three or four thousand years. Until
very recently the roof of the occi-
dental building rested on the walls
and so did the floors. If the walls
fell the house fell. The, modern
constructor of steel frames puts no
faith in walls, but supports his roof
walls may crack and crumble as they
like, they are simply the ornamental
shell Of modern building and have
Or length Of life. This is compare
lively new in the west, but so far as
we know the Chinese have never built
on any other principle.
Chinese walls are, for the most
are short-lived. AS one travels about
this land of ruins he sees scores Of
buildings standing with roof, floors
and massive wooden frame intact
while no walls are in sight, the bricks
having crumbled away or been stolen
to construct newer buildings. If a
man wants a new wall to his house he
does not trouble to move out. The
bricklayer simply tears out the old
wall and puts in a new one without
disturbing the tenants. Frames are
of massive logs and roofs are stacks
of lumber and tile which no Chinese
wall could possibly support. The
major feature of Chinese architecture
is the roof, and to protect the more
perishable parts of a house in pro-
cess Of construction it is usually built
first and all the art and ostentation
of the builder is lavished upon it. A
half dozen energetic carpenters will
put up the heavy frame of large
houses in few days, then they start
upon the roof, and when that quin-
tessence Of celestial art is finished
the masons will heap up a. few Incl
dental walls as an after-thought. The
skill which a Chinese bricklayer eX-
hibits in repairing crumbling walls
ELECTS the admiration of European
builders in every treaty port. With
out injuring the integrity of the whole
he will take out hundreds of bricks
all over the surface Of massive waH
and replace them with new ones. 1t
is no uncommon sight to find Chinese
at work digging every scrap Of NOR
tar out of the face of a building and
stuffing in new mortar as they go,
thereby giving the building a new
lease on life which a western build
er would accomplish by tearing down
the whole house and building it up
again"

Military Expedition
Gathering Historical
Data in Macedonia

Paris, Jan. 31-The military French
expedition in the Balkans following
the example of the armies of Napo-
leon and Marshal Maison in carefully
preserving and classifying all objects
Of archaeological interest discovered
by the troops, has gathered data that
it is thought will throw much light
on the primitive history of Macedonia.
Objects unearthed in trench dig
ging at the front in Macedonia and in
the construction of field works in the
entrenched camp are assembled at
SalOniki all duly labelled with full
details of their discovery.
Organized research is being done
so far as circumstance permit. Three
flying columns have been sent to
cover particularly interesting regions
to make soundings with view to the
preparation of archaeological charts
or maps.
These columns have already coll
iected information of inestimable
value with specimens of pottery, frag-
ments of ceramics, with data as to

High School EleUens Slated for Bitter Clash
Crimson WiU Be OutWeighed in Clash With Camp Gordon

Coach Kelly's warriors from the University of Alabama will stack up against hefty organization Thanks giving Day at Redwood when the sol diers from Camp Gordon are met in the final gridiron contest of the sea- son for the local contingent. Gen. eral Erwin's Steam Roller" is the name applied to the outfit in Atlanta and the vicinity of the camp, and follow CTS of the game are really expecting to see a brilliant array of former stars in the lineup that opposes the Crim- son.
 Captain Cunningham, formerly coach at the University of Georgia, is head coach of the team, and according to advices from the camp he has "suf . ficient material to work with to in- sure the Birmingham football public a game replete with spectaular plays, topped by number of all-southern and all-American wonders"
 No doubt the soldiers have a mighty organization. The roster of the squad claims some of the former sensations of the Dixie fields and to see these stars in action again holds in store a rare treat.
 The backfield of the soldiers will average around the 163 pounds mark, while the line averages about 1s1 pounds. These are official figures The backheld of the Crimson will average about the same. while the line will be considerably outweighed
 The Camp Gordon outfit has played four games, not including the clash yesterday. Three of these games vera won. The scores follow:

RIVALS PREPARING FOR TOUGH GAME;
 CENTRAL STRONG
Bessemer Handicapped by Loss of Veterans-Coach Thomas Drills Men
 Hard

With the annual clash only a few days off, Central and Bessemer High schools are working overtime for the battle at Redwood Field Thanksgfv- ing morning for the championship of the Alabama Interscholastic Athletic conference Yesterday Coach Thomas sent his Central High warriors through stiff practice and today will give his men their final scrimmage before the clash.
 According to reports, Bessemer is not as strong as in previous years, and Central is slated to give the Pur- pie and White 8 good beating. Bes- semer, however, can be counted upon to give the Central warriors a stiff battle and Coach Thomas is drilling his men with this fact in view
 Bessemer is coached by Red Harris, former Auburn star. The Bessemer boys are greatly handicapped by the loss of men from last years agere- gation, especially men in the back field Charley Scotts services will be materially missed by the Bessemerites. as will Snyder at center.
 Followers of the Purple and White are counting on their boys making a splendid showing, however, and will probably turn out in strong numbers to witness the strife. Central, too, will have large number of adherents at the field and the battle may develop into cheering conflict
 It is a sure fact, however, that the game will be we'll worth seeing and Central, with the championship in view, will undoubtedly wage a pitts. and winning contest

Right now you are on the threshold of the most dangerous season of the year, when your system is called upon to undergo the severest test in resist ing disease that is running rampant.
 For now is the time when every breath of air you inhale is laden with millions upon millions of tiny disease germs that are fighting to find lodg- ment in your system and set up their campaign of destruction.
 On every hand you see evidences of Catarrh, with it's distasteful and nause- ating symptoms, causing it's victims to constantly hawk and spit in an effort to prevent the air passages and throat from becoming stopped up entirely.
 And it is a common thing to see the unfortunate victim of the bronchial germ. wheezing and coughing and all most struggling for breath.

My greeting to her was. What news do you get from the front?' Don't you know I have lost my husband 9 expressed my sorrow Yes she said, it was a smash Ing blow. Alex was so big and strong and splendid. Ever since I can remem- Der I have thought Alex was the most wonderful of people, and when the news came l just thought I couldn't go on living; you see I'm so young, only 30, and life is so long even, from then on, but Alex went out on the crest of the wave-he had just been recommended for promotion; the children will always have that proud memory And then as quick as a flash she turned and said Isn't this great country? Where can you finds such abundance? And isn't is just the place to make good? I suppose free dom has to be paid for. Freedom is likefa fad. it has to be kept up It is something to have chance though; to work and bring up my children in peace, and so I live from day to day.

Of course, everyone is familiar with the suffering which the rheumatic has to endure as winter comes on, and the intensity and regularity of his pains. The disease seems to take on added se- verlty at this season, and the little pain demons run rampant in their frenzied delight
 Why is it that so many people fall victims to these diseases, while others escape unharmed? Isn't it true that everyone is equally exposed to attack
 This Is very natural question, and the answer is easily arrived at by a little logical reasoning.
 It is quite true that practically ev- eryone is equally exposed to the dangers or disease You are just as liable to pc attacked as the man or woman sit ting next to you on the street car. 1t al depends upon the condition of your blood supply.
 1T your blood is thin and impover- ished and has been allowed to reach low state by the accumulation of i'm purities, you have not sufficient vitality to resist these germ attacks and they find a fertile field in your system to spread disease.
 Your neighbor will easily resist the
