THE ARMY COCKTAIL

 And the extremely popular Brona (though there's no orange to get your fingers on) may be swallowed with more or less ease-what?
 But how about this: From Laredo, Tex. came a yarn to the World last night that there's thing known as the army cocktail, made of whisky and bitters- same as a Manhattan-and reposing al the foot of the glass-an onion!
 And the tale says the soldiers on the border not only drink it, but like it! Il has "a peculiar smoothness and allure

COAL sMASHES RECORD

From the Geological Survey Press Bull l letin
 C7TNlIE production and consumption of ! coal In the United States in 1916 exceeded all past records. The quantity of bituminous coal mined last
 United States geological survey, de- partment of the interior, as slightly
 more than 5o9,000,000 net tons. an in crease, compared with 1915, of more 1, than 66,500,000 tons, or 15 per cent, and greater by 31.o00.000 tons than the rec ord of 1913. Data furnished by the an thracite bureau of information indicate l that the production of Pennsylvania anthracite was SS.312,00o net tone, about l 600, 900 tons less than in 1915. The total output of coal in the United States is thus estimated at 597, 100000 net tons, and the official figures when compiled
 may show 6oo,o0O.oo0 tons, compared with 570,0oo.0O0 tons in 1913.
 | This estimate, which is to be followed
 shortly by more detailed statement,
 shows that the increase was general,
 only three states, Maryland, Oklahoma
 and Texas having had smaller pro- duction than in 1915. The largest in-
 crease was In Ohio, whose production in l1916 is estimated at 37,0o0,00o tons, com-
 pared with 22,435,000 tons in 1915, a gain of 65 per cent. Colorado, New
 Mexico, Virginia and Washington show increases of more than 20 per cent, and
 Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota,
 Tennessee, West Virginia and Wyoming of 14 to IS per cent. Tn Pennsylvania
 the increase was about 17,o00,OOO tons, or Il per cent.
 ] The consumption of coal by the rail-
 roads in 1916 is estimated to have been 17,500,000 tons greater than in 1915, the
 use of coal in the manufacture of coke
 was greater by 2O,500.000 tons, exports

LUKE MLUKE SAYS

A fellow has to be pretty fast these days to keep pace with his running expenses and his good intentions.
 When a princess compares her father with her fellow. she wonders what momma was drinking when she selected such an uncouth mutt for a husband. To make success as 8 political leader. 8 man should be able to say things that sound big and mean nothing.
 Men are like apples packed in bar rels. For each big one at the top there are hundreds of small ones at the bottom.
 You would imagine that man has as much right to wear his pants as short as a girl wears her skirt. But if he ever tried it he would probably wind up in a patrol wagon. It certainly disgusts a bride when the honeymoon wanes and she discov- CTS that the man she has been posing for is no better than herself. It is different with others. But if you want to brighten the world for q spooning couple turn the lights low. Even the man who never told a con- undrum in his life can keep his wife guessing all the time. When a girl first starts using rouge she is satisfied to tint her cheekbones. But little later she IS putting the stuff on with a putty knife. Naomi. the daughter of Enoch thought she was some old bird be- cause she lived for 5S0 years. But she never knew any of our modern chorus girls.
 As much as we all detest bill col lectors. we usually invite them to call again.
 The story of self-made man begins with eating off the oilcloth on the Kitchen table. Then it goes to eating off the red cotton tablecloth in the liv- ing room. Then it winds up with eat ing off the white linen tablecloth in the dining room.

THE AWAKENING OF ASIA

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 In these days of professed concern for the rights of little nations, India arises to suggest that it be included. The president of the Indian national Congress held recently at Lucknow said "it should be clearly understood that India's aspirations would not rest content merely with larger employ ment of natives in the Indian pubic service A radical change in the form and constitution of the government Of India would alone satisfy the people and remove their grievances"
 India. he added. must be raised to the status of self governing state as an equal party in the empire and given fair representation in any scheme art CT the war, and must be governed from Delhi and Simla and not from London.
 This declaration, it should be noted, comes not from source hostile to the British connection. It is not 1nde- pendence or separation that is asked, but government in India. The na- tional Congress, which applauded it's presidents speech reminded England that India had given men and money for the war and it was only right that she should have a voice in the im- perial conference The hall in which the Congress met was decorated with a banner, Victory for the British Armsp'
 Virtually the demand is that India be treated no longer as dependency but as a dominion and placed on an equality in self government with Can ada, Australia and South Africa The liberal movement which turned China into republic. and, before the war, was agitating for constitutional gov ernment in Paris, has not left India untouched. The awakening of Asia is one of the possibilities that warning Europe should not overlook.

TRAPPING THE TRAVELLER

your equanimity is undisturbed till she translates that into s1s7ls in American coin.
 And didn't Sarah Teasdale warn you when you started round the world to be careful how you spent your money? But it would be different with a man.. you thought, than with an unprotected old maide Didn't she tell you how she learned that pride in the fatherland was greater than business instinct, when she discovered on that lovely Indian cash mere shawl she bought in Delhi the i.t- nocent little label Made in Germany wove into the selvedge edge? And speak ing of Germany reminds me- When 1 was in Bolivia, noticed the natives were great long steel spears with tiny spoons on the handle ends. I was just bargain ing for one of them as souvenir at a price which seemed commensurate for the amount of hand work required to make the pins, when again the man who knows hove in sight. Shortly afterward began to have a true appreciation of the sagacity of the German and his busi- ness methods. The Scot is an infant in canniness when the German is in sight. Realizing the gullibility of the average tourist, that most tourists pass this way but once," and during that once he must be taken in, the Germans have helped the natives to help themselves by exporting to Bolivia machine made replicas of the once handmade spear pins. These are sold to the Indian at prices that are attractive to his bargain hunting instincts, He waxes fat--or greasy rather-on their sale to the credu- lous ones from other climes.
 So you give up the foreign souvenir hunting and decide, instead, Tn the fu- ture to See America First and stick to the old American game of selecting souvenirs at American hotels and getting something for nothing. That's what the American hotel owner expects you to do. He would be disappointed if thousands of happy homes in this wide land had not been made happier at his expense. He is a philanthropist, anyway, and you will keep him true to his noble calling.

 1MEAUTIFUI. silken shawls. light as lSN the air you breathe, rugs fit for a ~ King-shining shimmering bril- liant hued, with histories weird as the Orient itself-Buddha shrines. centuries old and carved and precious stones. the thousand and one other ''remembrances' the traveller brings to the folks at home seen under the light that lies in other lands-and lies, and lies and lies-reflect no glory under the American sun.
 We are wise about everything under the sun, but-our one big, original idea in travelling is to take home a few char acteristic'' souvenirs. There's a queer coin from China for Uncle Nose in Sas- katchewan: a box of India tea for Aunt Lou to make pleasant her spinster days; the raven tressed ight-of-your-life will look stunning in a Spanish mantilla, her type is so foreign. Mother, who feels the heat badly in July and uses fan so gracefully, will appreciate one from sunny Seville. Gullibly you buy them ali and pay prices in far away Java Mocha and Oooiong that outrval those of Fifth avenue
 You're lucky if you get back to the farm without being disillusioned. The wiseacres of traveldom, the "Circums" of the earth, are willing to put you wise when you're home with your bric-a-brao under your arms. Mayhap you stagger to jail when, on returning, you find the GUS toms fees beyond your purse. and learn that in your own free land all that's free is air To be sure of that you keep a sharp eye out for signs at the road houses and garages. You pay 60 per cent of the plus-U. s. valuation to the rob- bers who represent your free country with a customs badge before you pur- chase your freedom.
 Then your friends tolerantly show you hidden away on the inner side of the sixth rib from the left on the Spanish fan you bought for mother the Illuminating idea Made in Japan" Next, light-of-your- life innocently tells you the s2S mantilla you bought in Seville is just like one Aunt Sarah picked up at the lace shops of Switzerland for 10A francs Even then

They All Come Back

Birmingham always looks good to me-" said Joseph Babb, one time secre- tary of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, who is in the city. There fore I think I shall spend as much of my time as possible here. When started doing commercial campaign work, my wife and discussed the places in which we might locate, and both of us decided that we should like to come to Bir- mingham. While I am out of the city much of the time, I shall at least have the pleasure of knowing that my inter ests are in Birmingham, and it will be a pleasure to me when I do get to town to meet the friends that I have always valued.
 Shreveport is live town all right, and there is a great civic spirit there, but no place has ever been able to usurp the place that Birmingham holds in my heart. I remember my work here with the keenest pleasure, and now when I look at Birmingham and think what has been accomplished since I first came here, I feel great pride in the old city. do not know how long we shall stay in Birmingham, but we are here for sometime at any rate"

q want to congratulate The Age Herald upon the splendid manner in which the story regarding the ex- plosion on the Birmin gham Special was handled" said Horace c. Afford yes terday. ".rhe Age-Herald is always accurate and reliable as newspaper and covers all the news in a thorough and pleasing manner. but it seemed sion was exceptionally fine consider that a very big story due to its un- usual features and judging by the large amount of stuff sent out by the Associated Press for the papers throughout the country it must have been considered of great news value everywhere
 "I have seen today quite few of my friends from St. Clair county who were passengers on the train at the time of the explosion and they said that The Age-Herald gave the only complete and accurate version of the affair. Men who were in the coach that was blown up expressed surprise that reporters who were not present could get such an accurate and vivid ac- count of what took place. Another thing that showed me The Age Her ala was on the job was the fact that it was the only newspaper which had the fact that three men had lost their lives as a result of the explosion"

 ~ oNsPICUoUsLY posted in Times Square, where it catches the eyes of hundreds of thousands of per- sons every day, is poster of the recruit ing service of the United States army which directs the attention of young men to the advantages of one year with the colors under the new law. While since last November the enlistment term in

 battery or detachment commander shall
 report him proficient and sufficiently
 trained, may, in the discretion of the
 Secretary of War, be furloughed into the
 reserve" To be sure, no recruit can be assured in advance that he can be re- leased from active service after one year,
 but with the army filled to its author ized strength the chance for an excep- tional man would always be good. A years intensive training, given the right sort of man, will turn out good sol dier. Moreover the experience in the army will do more than that for a young man. The new law provides that the soldier in active service shall have an op- portunity for study and instruction upon educational lines of such character as to increase his military efficiency and en- able him to return to civil life better equipped for industrial, commercial, and general business occupation"
 There Is good chance. also. for an enlisted man to gain admission to West Point; there is a better chance than the private soldier ever had before to get an officers commission. Many army off cers believe that the term of enlistment should be shortened; that one or. at most two years wilh the colors should be made the rule; and the law may be amended
 to that effect. Service in the regular
 army will always be relatively small al tive. It can be made a fitting prepara-

LOOKS GOOD FOR BIRMINGHAM

From the Jasper Mountain Eagle.
 That Birmingham will be selected as the site for the great 100000 govern ment armor plate plant is the belief of many we'll informed people at Washing ton. Philadelphia, Birmingham's most favorable rival, was eliminated by the advisory board of the navy. which rec ommends that the plant shall not be built within 200 miles of the coast or border. That ruling gave Birmingham the lead in the race for the location of the plant.
 Many other claimants were eliminated by the 20o-mile ruling of the advisory board, and the only proposed sites that remain in the field are West Virginia and eastern Kentucky coal towns, a few places in Tennessee. Ohio and Mississippi river towns,
 Owing to the increased price of build ing materials and labor, experts declare that the proposed plant cannot be erected for the amount made available by Con- gress. It would require several years in building the plant, but the people of Bir- mingham and this section of Alabama would be benefited from the start by the money expended in erecting the plant. Here's hoping that Birmingham gets the plant

NEIGHBoR BoB WHITE
Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
 There are those who stoutly maintain that the moro quail are hunted. that the more we annually kill with birdshot, the more there will always be each year. These arc the people who told us our game law aiming to preserve the Georgia Bob White would result in | his extermination. The law we have had for few short years. and while there doesn't seem to be any great falling off in quail it can hardly be said they are more numerous. There are plenty who say they are getting less and less each year and that the closed season is responsible for it.
 While tho commonsense end of the argument seems to be very much against the continuous open season ad- vocates, it is nevertheless true that they
 are showing conditions at present that are none too reassuring for the closed season partisan. The new law has lhelped the rabbits and squirrels fm- measurably, and even deer are com ing back in parts of south and south
 west Georgia, but the quail-shooters
 declare the birds are getting less and
 less each year, even though there is byno means decided shortage at that. | Perhaps the real reason Is that Bob
 White cannot live long with civilized man. and that it is the continual en-
 croachment of the titled land upon the
 wild domain in Georgia that is putting
 him out of business In that respect he lis like the Indian. Destroy the wild
 places and you destroy the habitat that breeds them Reservations and the game
 laws may check the destruction may
 postpone the end but they cannot save
 the species in the end.
