Congressman Heflin
 Breaks Another Record

~ CONGRESSMAN J. THOMAS " HEFLIN of the Fourth Ala bama district has set a new record for rapidity of speech.
 During the consideration of the prohibition amendment Monday the House was under the two-minute rule, which means that each member was allowed only two minutes to express himself on the resolution.
 Monday right Congressman Heflin sent to The Age Herald by telegraph some 27o0 words of his speech with the introduction: "Heflin holds House in rapt attention while he spoke on the prohibition amendment in part as follows"
 Then the speech began to come by wire. Sheet after sheet of it rolled into The Age-Herald office. The tele- graph editor thought anotber deluge

they are expected to give a good ac- count of themselves.
 With hearty cooperation in all di- rections Birmingham should reach it's goal by the end of the week.
 The states allotment is 100000 The winter weather may interfere somewhat with the progress of the membership campaign in the rural sections, but there will be no excuse for cities, towns and villages not com- ing up to expectations. Everybody should feel an interest in the great Christmas drive for Red Cross mem- bers and State Chairman Robert Jemison, Jr., will not be disappointed.

 Birmingham's allotment is thirty five thousand. This includes Besse- mer, and that enterprising city will add materially to results.

E E E Iris We'll Colonel House Is a. Taciturn Man

M7OW that Col. Edward Mandell J N House of Texas and the uni verse is safely back in our midst and has unfolded to the presidential ear matters of great moment he learned abroad, it is gratifying to know that he fully sustained his rep utation for taciturnity while visiting our allies.
 Standing before a big English fire in the chimney place of the library in Chesterfield House, London, Col one House met and downed the most enterprising newspaper men of Eng land. A charge frequently brought against London reporters, in contrast to American newspaper men, is an in curable diffidence in the presence of authority. It is said that when a per- son high in office, and perhaps titled as well, shakes his head at an Eng lish reporter that settles any hopes of "story" in that quarter. On the contrary, an American reporter is not abashed before the great and usually contrives to find out what he wants to know no matter what ob- stacles are placed in his way.
 If American newspaper men have found Colonel House brother to the clam, it is easy to conceive of the impression he made in England. He talked, it is true, and pleasantly enough, but as one English paper put 1t, the colonel "would go so far as to admit that it was raining if there was no one within earshot."
 But far be it from right-thinking Americans to find any fault with Col onel House on that score. He has proved himself to be an excellent lis- tener and when he does talk-behind closed doors and to MT. Wilson there are excellent reasons for believ ing he knows whereof he speaks. Were he garrulous man Colonel House could produce a world of "copy," but how long wcald he hold first place in the affections and the confidence oI the man who depends on him more than any other human being?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-12-19

and appreciative pen-picture of this his- toric episode, he writes as follows:
 Any news?'
 was able to say 'yes the best news in the world.''
 What news?'
 I could say with all sincerity, T nave just seen a portent. The world is safe for democracy.
 For this inspiring thought was the final result of the march past him of the se- rious and unsmiling- American troops whose emotions the English writer con cluded were too exalted to be expressed in the easy-going way of the singing. grinning and chattering home troops. His tribute fits in we'll with what all know the Amercan soldier to be- and it is the kind of thing that Miss Kathleen Burke is telling the folks over there now on her return from her American tour. And we all know these tributes are true in the best and noblest sense of the words. Our trained legions are inspired by lofty ideal; they know they are fighting for a great cause which will make the world safe for democracy, let those be recreant who will.

had broken loose. Of course, he is
 used to handling some 90,000 words
 of matter by telegraph every night,
 but he usually has control of the
 dikes and knows whence the floods of
 messages are coming. But MT. lief lin's speech was simply overwhelming.
 When the first 1000 words had reached his desk he thought surely Mir. Heflin had been speaking at least minute and half, but as the flood continued he thought the two minutes would soon be up. When if nally "The End" came he sighed in despair and was heard to mutter "Two minutes! What if he had spoken an hour?"
 But MT. Heflin not only set rec ord for rapidity. He was after max ing another record, so he sent this flood of oratory collect" MT. lief lin's lc. record in Congress makes his Alabama friends feel safe in the assu-- that the congressman knows The AGe-Hcrald maintains a Wash ington bureau through which all it's telegraphic dispatches are filed. But this bureau was too slow for MT. Heflin. He was out for rapidity rec ords and wished to show some real speed, so to save time he filed his dispatches without even the knowledge of The Age Herald bureau. He wanted this burning speech to reach the wait ing and breathless people of Alabama while it was still hot. He, no doubt, felt that. "extras" would begin to fly from The .age-Herald presses as fast as the dispatches were received.
 The Age-Herald regrets that it was unable to make room in it's columns for this wonderful two-minute speech and it regrets further that it was unable to accept this flood of mes sages "collect," and they were politely but firmly returned to their source. It is to be hoped that this masterful effort will rot, however, be thus lost to posterity forever.

THE DANGEROUS SICK MAN


 From the World Outlook. Here is a letter from a Chinese boy to his physician:
 Dear Doctor-I have studied several years there, but I couldn't know more wisdom besides books. Lately, I know mans tranquility is more valuable than fortune and nobility, and mans misery malady is more miserable than to suffer from cold and hunger. There fore I hope you, taking a great atten- tion, discriminate chronic deathesis, observe miscellaneous symptoms of tion and physics. Now I will tell you three different sick portions within my body in following sentences
 First, I am sometimes headache and my forehead is sometimes hat, and the eyelids inflame, swell and itch that the eyebrows and eyelashes often fall off and the eyes become bleareyd The juice of my eyes Is daily and nightly as thick as glue; that CO heres of eyelids tightly and make the sight a little obscuration
 Second, if I sit to read a little more time my bosom and back are very painful, and my breath is short, by sometimes expire out long time Third, my legs have been hydropsy two years yet.
 How do you feel this in your opin- ion? If you doubt this do you like to consult with your friends who under stand the knowledge of medicine? Would you like to cure such a poor man I am and to save me from the most dangerous sickness? If you please I shall recompense kindness with kind ness as could as. my wisdom and strength may, or I hope you shall get your kind rewards from Jesus and God in heaven.
 I fear l shall die in youthfulness if sickness will not be well; that I long and shame not to find a kind helper But l can't tell you with English as distinct as I wish to say, perhaps you can't understand the Chinese lan- guage that I will say. Therefore I write this indication to you, please give pity for the dangerous sick man.

From the Kansas City Star
 HHGT1HERE was a fire at the hotel
 last Monday" says the old
 home paper from %back yon- der," in it's issue this week. Sparks from ihe chimney caught In the roof and blazed up quite bit for awhile, and the fire department was called out. Not much harm was done.'
 That is all there is to the item. IL doesn't even mention the name Of the rew fira chief in tie old home town, but it is sufficient to recall some of tns days of real sport back there. It was one of tho pleasures of life in the old home town to attend a fire. The whistle down at the mill would blow three sharp blasts and then a long, piercing shriek, and everybody in town grabbed coat and hat and started for the fire.
 Before the days of the volunteer fire department, it was everybody's fight against what the old home paper used to call the flaming elements" Citizens or foot and without uniform would form a bucket brigade, line from the we'll to the house, and the buckets would be pumped full of water and passed down the line to the man on the ladder. He would pass each bucket as it came to the man above him, and then it would go to the first man on the roof, and then to the men who stood nearest the fire. They would dash it on the fire and drop the empty bucket so that it would roll off the roof-and usually it would be smashed and put out of commission by dropping against a rock of the corner of the foundation.
 While all this was going on, other citi zens on foot would be carrying ''the things" out of the house. Usually they would grab the bedtickes and carefully carry them out into the yard, laying them down with great care, while the cut glass dishes and the chinaware would be thrown out of the highest win dow in the house.
