a shelf of rock in the rapids above

SUGGEST PAYMENT
 OF TENNESSEE CO. TAXES LOCALLY
Would Add Much to Status of Internal Revenue Office
 for This Territory
By HUGH w. roBERTs.

Washington, April 12-(Special )-Atten- ton of Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United states Steel corporation, has been called to the fact that were the federal taxes of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company paid in Birmingham, the impor- tance Of the revenue office in Birming- ham would be relatively increased.
 The estimate is that the federal taxa ton levied by the government against the Tennessee company amounts to ap- proximately $8,000,000 This amount has previously been paid in connection with payments made by the United States Steel It is suggested that were the taxes of the Tennessee company paid in Birmingham, in a state where the profits Of she company are made, Birmingham status as a collection center would be one of greater importance.
 Z From what can be learned, this pay ment could be made separate from other payments of the United States Steel without clerical embarrassment.
 The government would interpose no objection. to such an arrangement were Judge Gary to approve it. The govern n1cnt, on the other hand, would not sug- gest to Judge Gary the manner in which his corporations taxes be paid. Daniel c. Roper, internal revenue collector has explained that it is the function of the government to see that the taxes are paid, and that the manner of their pay ment was no concern of the government.
 The reception of the suggestion by Judge Gary has not as yet brought forth answer.

RRs. GEORGE TEACHER

JM C GUERNSEY, sH,S% president 1ssHta.ai general = uS of the Daughters of the Amer 3cn Revolution, has just issued the fol- lowing patriotic message to the Daugh- kers:
 "On the eve of the twenty seventh Continental congress let me give you this snessage-it is the spirit of unity which is the keynote to the ideals of our na- &ional society and this spirit will in time of need arouse our 100000 members to action.
 -Our society, the greatest patriotic orr ganization in the world, has through its size and importance assumed duties and obligations which will place it well to the fore in national need. The call has come, and we are responding to that call We must prove ourselves worthy of the men who fought under the great Washington to establish this country and nl that it means, among the great na- lions of the woorld. That We will do bur best is 8 foregone conclusion, but we must know how to make that best bet

Kindly Criticism and Generous Praise Make
 Life Easier, For There Is Good to Be Found In
 Everything If We Look For It, Especially In People
1.-TWO women were talking about g

1TNlWO women were talking about
 third. Nothing unusual about
 S that to be sure, but what they were saying was
 One began the subject by asking an- other in rather a surprised tone:
 But why do you like her so much? can't reconcile myself to your friend ship. You seem the poles apart to me, somehow"
 The other woman hesitated moment as though ranging her thoughts, and re- piled:
 Well, for three reasons: First, she is absolutely loyal. If she is your friend she never questions an action of yours or the motives, and if everybody in the world were against you, shed be for you and never care what the rest thoughts. Second, she is perfectly truth ful. What she tells you may not ring true always, but 1t is what has been told Ter and she has repeated it absolutely, cor rectly. Third, she is always generous, not only in money matters, but better still, in appreciation of others; her will ingness to help them develop their level best; her desire to give them her assist ance in advance, even when they are doing the same kind of work she is. She is clever and amusing with all this, and a joy to be with, but it is her splen- did character, her generous words of praise, that makes her such an everlast- ing pleasure to her friends"
 | listened and then I thought to my self:
 Could anything be more desirable than just what that woman had said or her friend?
 Sometimes we hear people declare that it is d feminine characteristic to be "catty;" that it is impossible to find two women who are really true to one another that professional jealousy is in the feminine bosom, and that social Jealousy is foregone conclusion.
 But this, while it may be the general rule, does not always obtain, as witness the above quoted conversations
 After all is there anything so nice as to have it said of you that you are gen. erous? Generous in your thoughts Of other women; generous in your actions toward other women; generous in your speech regarding other women?
 There are always bodies of people will ing to give beggar at the door a crust of bread; always plenty of people will- ing to send their old clothes to the poor and needy; always scores of people who are ready to give money to charity. But how few who are generous enough to give ole-hearted praise, where praise is due; who will seek for the grain of merit when the action is not apparently who will refrain from the unkind criticism when it is the evident comment?
 Why not make a bargain with our selves to look for the best in people, and comment upon their virtue and not their shortcomings; to penalize ourselves in some way every time we catch ourselves saying ugly things about our neigh bors?
 It would be well worth while, if we could only do this, not only on account

promising they may appear at first sight; even gold and precious stones are not very comedy to look upon when they are first dug out of the earth. They have to be treated in different ways to come to their full beauty, and-whos knows?-the most disagreeable person you know may be in reality the very truest and best sort of person if you only treat them the right way, and look for their good points.

 The city of Talladega has enacted an ordinance in reference to loafing, which permits person to loiter on the streets or in public place only six hours. The fact that defendant caught loafing has money or wages sufficient to support him is no defense. The ordinance applies cnIy to idling in public place.

f ter We must do our work in practi-
 cal way use common sense and effect
 a capable business organization as be- fits such large association. We must be 1 systematic if we are to be of permanent value.
 we must guard our resources and be ready to meet any crisis, however great, with all plans made, all details in order, and stand ready for immediate action in whatsoever direction we may be called.
 ''We must stand ready to be of ma terial aid to the government. We must stimulate the spirit of true patriotism we must forget personal feeling and political differences. We can if We will, and I am proud to say l believe that no other organization will rise to higher attitudes of self sacrifice and actual service than the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is time now for organization com plete and efficient. Based on the solid business principles of all organization work, ready to turn it's hand to any thing the government demands ready to teach patriotism by acting it, and considering nothing too difficult to over come. since it is the living love of coun- try.
 "The Daughters of the American Revo- lution are insisting that strength is under bond to help weakness; that wisdom is under bond to instruct ignor- ance; that wealth is under bond to assist poverty; that goodness is under bond to save the bad. Our great organization exists not for itself alone. Its chief aim is not for the exaltation of any one of it's members. 1t must not be prostituted to the unworthy purpose of gratifying any ones personal ambitions. It must not be used for ulterior ends. Its value is to be measured by what it can add to the peoples love of country and their devotion to its noble institutions
 "The Daughters of the American Rev olution can make and are making vast, valuable contribution to the national life. In these days and possibly in more strenuous days to come each daughter and chapter can lend some needed strength to those who guide the ship of state through stormy seas to calm.
 Tn all calculations of the nations re- sources in principles, ideals and powers, it will be found that no organization can make finer contributions to all that makes for the nations strength, per- petuity and honor than the Daughters of the American Revolution"
