 .ELIVVERSo AND EMPIRES
om the Minneapolis Tribune.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
 Chagrnned, he says. because his sweet hearts relatives made sport of the "fliv- ver," in which he was wont to take her spinning, a Hennepin county young man tried to quiet the testers by possessing himself of a large and costlier car. He was caught at it and now he is in q dickens of fix.
 Kaiser William and his Prussian was lords became dissatisfied with their five passenger empire, so they set out to steal one that would seat at least seven conn fortably. After tramping up Belgium 8 premises, driving off it's citizens with guns and denolishing obstacles in the way, they broke into a French garage and were about to land a high priced empire with a limousine top and all the up-to-date attachments, but the owners thereof, together with some wlathy neighbors, heard the racket and put the thieves to flight. They are still chasing them and will bag the outlaws sooner CT later
 Moral: It isn't safe to steal either an automobile or an empire.

Ono of the most amusing things oc- cured yesterday" said Dolly Dalrymple, which resulted in a general mix-up until 1t was all explained
 T called up the Tutwiler and asked for MT. DeJarnette, tho popular clerk who Is one of the main-stays when 1t comes to getting s line on celebrities. l asked him If Mrs. Howard GoulT of New York was registered thcro, and what the number of her room was. He said: Yes. She's in number 1l2s' Do you happen to know if she is the Mrs Howard Gould of New York? If so, she's tho one I'm looking for, former ac- tress, now full-nedged suffragette; very beautiful, you know
 ''Mr. DeJarnette replied. Haven't seen her. but I'll find out and let you know Presently, my phone rang and 1t was MT. DeJarnette He said: Miss Dolly, Mrs. Howard Gould's a gentleman. She's got whiskers Good land, l exclaimed, how dreadful, (thinhng he meant she was one of those bearded lady effects, which l hate like a game bird hates a red doS) NAhN hAlOA ASdEu HllH IduSLlnS NOClL- erously.

Results From Active
 Campaion Methods

1T N raising money or working up in- | j. terest in any good cause well organized campaign has been found the most effective way to do it. Team- workers will make any campaign easy and the reason that Birmingham's campaigns of late have been so suc- cessful is because team work is 8 synonym for efficiency.
 When Birmingham undertakes big enterprise it knows in advance that it will succeed. Time was when public spirit was lacking. But that was before Birmingham had grown to be real city and before 1t had got it's gait.
 There is no lack of public spirit or the spirit of cooperation now The wonderful record made in the second liberty loan, when Birmingham actu- ally subscribed $7o0,000 more than Atlanta, was due to the compactness of the campaign. As the scattered odds and ends come into Chairman Carson Adams headquarters the diff ference between Birmingham and At lanta widens, but let us not be puffed up. We are getting used to large records.
 There will be other busy campaigns within the next few weeks and all will be successful. Now that Bir- ningham has established it's money raising supremacy there must be no falling back. Campaigns as a rule continue only one week. That is long enough if the cause is appealing.

Next Industrial
 Census in 1919

IT. has usually taken the census bu- U reau three years to compile the statistics of the quinquential census of manufactures. The work has been well done, but in these days of ex- traordinary speed three years seems q long time for the public to wait.
 IL would be impossible for the gov- ernment to make complete survey of the industrial field without allow ing ample opportunity for the census experts to obtain the information sought, but if Congress were to ap- propriate little more money for this department of census activity, year might be saved.
 As it is now the industrial reports issued in census bulletins by states are valuable chiefly for comparison. The Birmingham district shows a big industrial gain in number of manu- facturing establishments, capital in- vested, wage-earners employed and the volume of pay rolls for 1909 to 1914. Otherwise the information is stale. The year 1914 was dull year, but the years following were marked by great prosperity.
 1 If the next industrial census could be completed and ready for publica- ton by 1921 it would attract general attention. Here in Birmingham it would fit in well with the 1920 census of population. This city is growing fast and it will continue to grow in the years to come. The estimated
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-01

population is now over 100000. It is safe to predict that in the census of 1920 the city will be credited with something like 5000. Early in the present decade it was generally felt among statisticians that Birmingham would outstrip Atlanta in 1920. Now no well informed person has any doubt of 1t.

Cont Makers Needed

There is one tailor shop in Birming- ham that needs more men, and that Is certainly a sign that Birmingham is prosperous, for this firm makes high priced suits for men, H, AI Morse, of the firm of Morse & Co.,, said yesterday.
 We are needing coat makers. We have seven busy every day, and could use half a dozen more, but we can't get them You see most of the coat makers in this country are foreigners. and they have either gone back to the old country to fight or they are busy in the larger cities. They are scarce as hens teeth in these parts now"

Italy Will Meet
 New Peril Eravely

ITALY has been inspired to new Jt deeds of heroism and greater sac rifices bv the crisis the country IS now facing, as result of the offen- siye of the Germans and Austrians. The Italian ambassador at Washing ton heartens his countrymen in Amer ica by voicing his faith and the faith of the Italians in their leaders and their troops, who have fought with incomnarable gallantry for more than two ysars and will not be found wanting.
 The Italians may have been taken by surprise, to certain extent. The Germans claim that their plans were kept a profound secret and the Ital- fans were unaware of the vast prep arations made for a drive in concert with the Austrian army, but other sources of information lead us to be- lieve that they were expecting some- thing of the sort.
 The fact that the Italians were lewept back by the combined Austro- German attack is no reflection on their courage. They were over whelmed by superior numbers and kqaipment. Italy has had coal short-
 ge for long time, fuel being vital

 sBut we need have no fear of the Consequences. Italy is united in spirit
 Ind will present a solid front. The whole country is apparently aware of the danger which threatens and will net accordingly. General Cadorna is unquestionably one of the greatest generals produced by the world war. He still retains the confidence of his troopF and his government.
 Already the Italians have rallied and the onrushing Teutons have been checked. Another stalemate may be expected in northern Italy, just as the Germans were stopped in France.

I was never able to tell which was the better soldier, Berney or Joe. Ser ney wore the uniform but Joe seemed to get moro glory out of the fact that Berney wore kahli than did Berney himself. It seems that all of his fathers pride in him had been inherited by Joe, and hIs whole heart went out to the younger man who was to bear arms for the familys honor.

I saw Berney frequently after he had been in camp at Montgomery. He was full of his work, and was determined to do everything in his power to mako a worthy soldier. He had the highest ideas about true patriotism. but like the brave lad he was, there was never any boast ing, but always an earnest desire to be ready when his time came to serve Uncle Sam. I saw much of him on his visitors home, and VIC had many heart-to- heart talks.

of several little children, are well
played. The JOY of German father
