LUKE M.LUKE SAYS

Our idea of an optimist is a man to whom Monday morning dawns as cheerfully as Saturday morning.
 You must help yourself In this world. The reason for this is that other people are about as selfish as yourself.
 Congress is arguing so much tommy rot and so strong for reform that it would not surprise us to see Congress write out the unwritten law and use it as an amendment to- some war meas ure.
 A poor man soon finds out that all the assistance he gets is advice to be content with his lot.
 We are strange people. If news paper critized the local churches the way sawdust evangelist does decent people wouldn't read the newspaper
 Don't feel peeved because you have big feet. Just look at the footprints you are going te~leave in the sands of time
 If you do not like dogs and children you had better have your head and your heart examined. There is some thing wrong with them.
 Don't be too generous with your had no thorns nobody would want to pluck it.
 No matter how lazy a man may be he is always willing to work overtime when it comes to handing out advice. Some fellows can't stand up for their rights without sitting on everybody else's.
 The average man does most of his lhurrying in order to catch up and very little of it in order to get ahead. If you want to see a real demonstra- ltion of kissing and slobbering just be around when two girl chums meet when they haven't seen each other for about two hours.

Letter From Leon c. Bradley


 One of the most interesting letters I have ever read was one which I received yesterday from Leon c. Bradley from Fort McPherson." said Dolly Dalrymple. As everybody knows, MT. Bradley is former Age-Herald boy, and one Of the cleverest, brightest newspaper men in the south; he is greatly beloved by everybody connected with our paper, and word from him is always welcome in the office Ancng other things regard ing the life at the fort MT. Bradley says that Mary Roberts Rinehart, the distin- guished author and newspaper woman, was a visitor there few days ago; she is preparing a story for the Saturday Evening Post. MT. Bradley writes:
 Mrs. Rinehart saw everything and was assisted by all the officers and men In getting her dope there is a really good story.in a training camp like Fort McPherson that has never yet been writ ten. It sould be done by an outsider and preferably woman; also one who has the ability to grasp the real story.

Symphony Music
 I'm Large Cities

m HE dozen or so famous concert N orchestras playing at various popular resorts will be heard in limited number of symphony concerts outside of their "home towns" during the winter season. Their booking agents are now busy.
 For many years past the Boston symphony has filled regular engage ments in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. But so great has become the demand for high-class orchestral programmes that all the worth while organizations work up short tours for the fall and winter.
 Most of the famous orchestras have visited Birmingham, but they have usually come in the spring. It would require little effort on the part of the Music Study club to work up a subscription list for three of four symphony concerts to be given in the season beginning in November.

 Elderly persons who look young and feel young should never be classified as aged. One may recall headline in a local newspaper which read in substance that an aged citizen had dropped dead.

Russian Army Starts
 Offensive In Galicia

'WHILE the new Russian of
 WV fensive launched in Galicia under the leadership of General Bru- siloff, is encouraging to the entente powers, grave fears are felt in some quarters lest it prove short-lived For the first time since the revolution the Russians have made a determined as- sault on the Germans, with whom they have been fraternizing during what was actually truce.
 As usual, the German government seeks to belittle the latest victory of the Russians, claiming that the pro- visional government "yielded to the pressure of the leading entente pow CTS" and that the attack on the Ga lician front was the result. That pres sure has been brought to bear there can be little doubt, for there was much uneasiness over the Russian military situation. The American government, as well as the entente powers, let it be known that the Rus sians were expected to prosecute the war with the utmost vigor, if they wished aid, financial or otherwise, D placing their government on firm basis.
 Conditions in Russia are still far from satisfactory, but if the disor- ganization of the army can be pre- vented, which seemed imminent im-- mediately after the revolution, there is good reason to believe that the ad- ministrative affairs of the country will shortly be put in order.
 The capture of 164 German officers and over 10000 men, taken in the fall of Koniuchy, is not a bad days work. Behind the new offensive of the Rus sians may be seen the figure of War Minister Kerensky, frail man with wonderful brain and indomitable will, who is credited with having saved Russia from utter chaos.

Paris Will Celebrate
the Fouareh of July

NHHG X AQ&08 SA2 So " S
 ID ARIS, once known as the worlds lS gayest city, has been sobered by the war. but there are indications that she will regain her festal air on July the Fourth. It is planned to have a great celebration in honor Of Amerl- ca. acclaimed by the ardent French just now as the champion of justice, the invincible sponsor of human ho- erty and the nation which will help them drive the Germans from the soil of their beloved country.
 With the aid and cooperation of General Pershing, an elaborate pro- gramme has been arranged, including parades, public exercises and merry making. There are many American soldiers and sailors in Paris who will take part. Others will be dispatched from the American camp. AS they march along the streets of the French capital the enthusiasm which greeted their first appearance in France will be as nothing compared to the out burst of a grateful people, voicing their admiration and their thanks. "Vive les Etas Unis!" will be roared from countless throats, and it will be vibrated with the note of sincerity.
 The French can enter into. the ob- servance of Americas Independence Day with a joyous abandon which could not, for obvious reasons, be ex- pected in London crowd, although Great Britain is now our strong ally, working side by side with America to remove forever the menace of Prussian militarism. France helped to win independence for the strug- gling American colonies. She fought for us then, as we are fighting for her now.
 July the Fourth in Paris will ac- quire new significance Never be- fore has it meant so much to the world and to France.

Navy League 100000 strong

Tt seems that a great number of people have been discussing the Bir- mingham branch of the Navy league sir.ce its organization last Saturday" said Frank Willis Barnett yesterday, ''and I find that there is tremendous amount of enthusiasm concerning it.
 When I read Dolly Dalrymples story In Sundays Age-Herald about the meet
 ing Saturday I noticed that mention was made of the Navy league in the United States numbering 200o strong, and I thought 1t must have been a typographi- cal error, so I looked it up and discov- cred it was. It should have read 100000. That's big membership and I'm told that it Is steadily growing, as branches are being formed every day in various sections of the country.
