Open Air Concert
 Season Is Near

~ OMMUNlTY singing in Capitol " park will be a feature of Bir- mingham's summer life. The com munity chorus, which enlivened the opening of the biennial music con- vention in April, made great hit, notwithstanding the fact that it was somewhat crude. It showed the possi- bilities of this class of popular music, however, and now that a permanent chorus has been formed for Sunday performance and is holding regular rehearsals all rough edges will be worked off and the music, compara- lively simple, to start with, will be rendered in excellent style.
 Ideal open air music would include a programme made up of chorus num- bers and artistic selections for brass and reed band such as was heard in Capitol park up to a few years ago. These concerts were educative as well as diverting. All the music per formed was worth while, but was never over the heads of the masses. And to heighten the popular effect well trained community singers on the band programme would leave nothing to be desired.
 In this time of confusion resulting from war preparation, it may be next to impossible to assemble first-class concert band, but if it is feasible, let's have it. At any rate we can count on big chorus for Sunday after moons.

tires from office he be commissioned as an officer (say as brigadier gen eraD in the army; providing by law, however, that retiring President so commissioned should receive no com pensation in times of peace, except for the time he is actually engaged in the performance of services or duties required of him by the Presi- dent, the war department, or the gen. eral staff of the army, when he should be paid at the same rate of compensa- ton as is paid brigadier generals in active service"
 The grade of brigadier general has been abolished. The only general of ficer now known in the army is that of major general. But aside from that fact no ex-President would ac- cept a commission for any army of flee unless it was fitting. Colonel Roosevelt would feel insulted if he was rendered any military office other than the highest.
 But what shall we do with our ex- Presidents ? is a question that seems to have answered itself. Those who have served out their terms have either lived in dignified retirement, re-entered politics or accepted a po- sition consistent with their former high station. A term in the White House is honor enough for any Ameri- can.

 "The s. s. Collingwood, owned by the Farrar Transportation Co.,, Toronto, carried 1000 tons of ore between two U. s. ports, July 16, being the first Canadian vessel to run under the recently revised coasting regulations permitting reel procal coasting privileges for Can adian and U. s. vessels"

Washington, Aug. 13.-Vice Ad- miral Simms of the government shipping corporation, and formerly of the American naval forces sta~ tiOned in European waters, has made Q report to the authorities in Washington in winch he tells them the best way to solve the subma- rine menace.

Mod- CITE destroyers, of the latest pat tern, must patrol an ocean beat night and day as methodicany as Po- liccmen patrol a city. Definite courses should be followed by the merchant fleet on each trip, and suth courses are the ones to be guarded by the destroyers. This is the only immediate remedy for
 the submarine menace, says the report.
