Plenty of Material

"T was at the university recently and saw Coach Thomas Kelley working his basketball squad" said Borden Burr. ''The material at Alabama this year is plentiful. The chief trouble is, how ever, the lack of experienced players.
 Not single member of last years strong team Is back in the fold. Coach Kelley is facing a problem of build ing an entirely new team. He has a good man in bowman for center and I think he will built the team around this rangy Birmingham boy. Roland and Goodall are being played at for wards, while the guard positions are in doubt. with Nelson and Wilson hav- ing the edge
 "A strenuous schedule has been arr ranged by Faculty Director Lonnie Noojin and the team must play some ball to uphold the record made by last years invincible five"

Tribute to Late Dr. Evans

T was much impressed on reading the
 announcement in The Age-Herald that the local Elks were to dedicate a tablet in the Church of the Advent to the memory of
 pr. w. E. Evans" said Thomas Wheeler. T knew Dr. Evans both as a pastor and
 as a friend and was more than glad to learn that he had not been forgotten by those who knew him and loved him best While not a member of the order that has seen fit to honor his memoroy, can thoroughly appreciate the tablet they have seen fit to erect to his memory. A man of broad ideas. but withal firm in his Iconvictions, he came nearer reaching the ideals I had formed from the recorded teachings of the Master than any man l
 have ever met. With hundreds of others
 I loved pr. Evans for his many Christ
 like qualities and was truly glad to see
 that his friendship had not been entirely
 buried in the grave.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS


 When a woman plans to do anything she doesn't give hoot what her hus- band will think about it. What worries her is what the neighbors will think about it.
 Our idea of easy money Is to be tho att torney for the defense when handsome woman is the defendant The trouble with the laws enacted by the reformers is that they are all against something and not for anything. The reason why man likes to keep q joint bank account with his wife is be- cause he is always putting something in and she is always drawing something out
 Lots of married men like to study as- tronomy. But they can't make their wives belle that this is the reason why they are out until a. m. Artificial roses never look half as un- natural on girls hat as they do on a girls cheeks
 After a man has been married long enough, his idea of being overloaded with | jewelr is to have more than two brass collar buttons at one time. When you see some women dressed up and on parade on Sunday, you are re- | minded of the fact that money will buy clothes Sbut it won't buy refinement. | Only about one-tenth of 1 per cent of the people who make criticism their life work get paid for it.
 An old-fashioned woman who always ! had baby at her breast, shorts with in- i dignation when she hears of modern married woman telling bleary-eyed l poodle to "tum to it's muvver.' | It is always the fellow who has no | business of his own who is anxious to devote his time to running yours.
 We don't wonder that it takes an artist months and months to paint master piece depicting the female form divine | in the nude from a model How much work would you get done if you had a
 living September Morn sitting around | your office all day?
 Once in a while you get shaved by g barber who makes you wonder why he didn't stick to the butcher trade. l A corn fed girl Is so hard on union suits that she wears enough fuzz off her winter ones to make them thin enough for summer wear.

BAGPIPEs AT SEA

BAGPIPEs AT SEA By Clinton Scollard. Above the shouting gale, The whipping sheet. the dashing spray, heard. with notes of joy and wall. piper play. Along the dipping deck he trod. The dusk about his shadowy form; He seemed like some strange ancient god Of song and storm. He gave fns dim-seen pipes a skirl And war went down the darkling air; Then came a sudden subtle swirl. And love was there. What were the winds that Hailed and
 flayed
 The sea to him. the night obscure? In dreams he strayed some brackened
 glade.
 Some heathery moor. And if he saw tho slanting spars, And if he watched the shifting track, He marked. too, the eternal stars Shine through tho wrack. And so. amid the deep sea din, And 50. amid the wastes of foam, Afar his heart was happy In Ills highland home.

HOTEL LOBBIEs
Like Two Puxili.t.

This European war reminds me of g prize fight" said Moxie Fies of Fies & Sons. '"The central powers represent the fighter. who has rushed the other scrap per, but now Is realizing that he Is tiring' The allies. are the fighter who has been rushed. but believes that he has the stam- ina to last, and finally administer the fn- Ishing wallop to nis opponent.
 Tn view of these suppositions, which to my mind represent the real status of affairs, it is not to be wondered that the aggressor is willing to- stop, while the fighter who has been rushed is not of that disposition.
 But unless there is some change, it seems that the two will fight until ex- haustion without proving who is the bet fer man.

sBUFFALO BILL, 2 THE WIZARD PAGEANT ARTIST

1N)UFFAIO BILL Is dead. One of my IEN boyish heroes, the greatest hum ~ ter and Indian fighter has gone to the happy hunting ground. Let us hope that his great spirit is at rest.
 
 Do you remember the first time you ever saw him3 do. It was on his first southern tour. He came with all the glamour of romance. He looked every inch a hero.
 His show was better than a circus In it was the seed of the revival of pagean- try It was a picture of pioneer days in the west It was both history and wit. It caused the spectators to both see and feel the marvellous epic of the winning of the west. It showed men and women living under gruelling conditions. Can't you remember how your veins tingled as the numbering stage coach dashed around the track pursued by a
  band of blood-t thirsty Indians? How you held your breath as some unfortunate woman fell a prey to the wild savagers or some child shriened with fear at the touch of savage? It made the history of the west take on new life and in terest.
 
 Cody was not merely a great scout, man without fear. but he was great snowman with true histrionic ability tt take a section or American life and dramatize it. Just now I'm thinking less of him as a man of war and more as 6 forerunner teaching us to see the power and beauty of our American life if we but take the trouble to stage 1t properly hail him as the father of the reviva of paseantry.
 Some day right here in this district wt are going to pull off g pageant that will draw throngs from distant states to set the story of the birth of Birmingham

Little Railroad nuilding

Georgia has a position in the front in railroad building" said L. Sevier, general agent for the Southern railway. T have just received official figures on the ex- tent of railroad main line construction for 1916. and they show that S1 per cent of the work of the United States may be attributed to Georgia i 'In all, 1S41.68 miles of main line rail- road we're laid This is not very strong showing, but is as good as has been made during the last three years Alabama had 29.92 miles to the credit of the state. which was 2.2 per cent of the total mile- lage.
 "very little work has been projected for 1917"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-14
Fine Place for Tourists

Birmingham Is fine city, said Judge J. c. Higgins of Nashville. q am certainly glad that she succeeded in getting a branch of the Jackson highway. I believe that this city will draw heavy tourist trade and with national highway running through here she should become recognized easily as a southern stop-over resort.
 ''In addition to the beautiful scenery that you have and the excel lent golf links which are always at tractive to tourists. you have wonder full hotel facilities and that's another thing that tourists very much desire. When people travel in automobiles they want to stop at frst-class hotels and where they will see som ething, and Birmingham Is able to offer both of these inducements"
