Birmingham District s
 Industrial Progress

WHILE only, only such s industries as receive the approval of the govern ment, the speeding up of production for Uncle Sam's requirements. be- comes all the more intensive.
 Within the last twelve months in- dustrial expansion on a scale of great magnitude has been in evidence in the Birmingham district and additional development in a large way will con- tinue. Ground will soon be broken for the first unit of fabricating plant to be erected in the eastern section of the city at a cost of one million dollars. And now comes the announcement that the Sloss-Sheffield company has reached an agreement with the gov ernment by which the former will proceed at once to build battery of by-product coke ovens at a cost of five million dollars; the government to take the output. Other important announcements calling for vast capi- tai investment are likely to follow.
 Many of the so-called smaller indus tries of the district have been busy for sometime in producing material needed for the winning of the war, and there will be plenty for them to do in that direction as long as the war lasts. There is now no place for non- essential industries. Those that can- not be converted into war essentials will have to take a rest until normal conditions are restored
 The districts pay rolls are greater today than ever before, and they will be steadily increased during the re- mainder of the year. There should be no lull, therefore, in Birmingham $ mercantile prosperity, notwithstand- ing the dislocation of business in gen. eral as a result of the war.

Trip to New England

"If it had not been that Mrs Barn. well was taken i'll on our trip to New England in my car, it would have been the greatest outing I ever had" said J. Mercer Barnett, who reached home Wednesday after a 3o00-mile tour, which carried him as far east as New port. T went by Chattanooga but re- turned by Nashville. The only trouble had with traffic regulations was at Newark when I came near being pulled at midnight because I had no front light burning. Now, believe it or not although I went through many states and a number of great cities, I didn't get lost until got back to Oneonta. Somehow I got mixed up on a side street and had to wake up tired residenter' to set me on the Birming- ham road. I enjoyed the fight I had with the Atlanta anu Nashville braves to land the Klwanis convention for Bir- mingham. The Atlanta artist, who handed out the usual dope about his town being the Gate City of the south unfortunately told his crowd that it had everything they had but the ocean. It gave me the chance to spring the famous Savannah repartee in which it was hinted that if Allan tians could suck as well as they could blow, they would soon have tho Alt lantic at their door. It went home, and the crowd gave it to me on account of my extreme modesty."

What the Various
 Counties Are Doing

HERE is scarcely a county in 3 Alabama that is not witnessing high degree of prosperity. As Di- rector J. F. Duggar of the Auburn extension service remarks, these are busy days on the farm, and especially for the demonstration agents"
 A summary of the last weekly re- ports of the county demonstrators shows Alabama's progress in crop di- versification. In Blount several farmers are preparing to build silos this summer and when the first is completed Agent Sizemore will give demonstration of the making of wooden hoops used in constructing the most inexpensive type of silo.
 c. w. Stewart, farm demonstrator of Randolph, reports that much inter- est is being taken in live stock and that "the once misunderstood dipping vat" is now quite popular.
 E. E. Binford reports from Talla- poosa county that cottonless farm owned by W. T. Williams is proving decidedly profitable. His money crop is peanuts, from which he realized last season forty dollars an acre, and only twenty dollars an acre from cotton.
 In many counties the number of good hogs and Jersey cattle is increas- ing rapidly. From Jefferson, Hamlin L. Brown reports that he had one club member whose Poland China pig made a gain of fifty-one pounds in thirty days.
 In Madison county the campaign for "wheat on every farm" has started Agent c. F. Stripplin reports encour- aging progress in the movement. He also states that preparations are be- ing made for putting in a large acre age to grass and clover this fall.
 Agent F. Stewart reports from Limestone that asrecord crop of fall Irish potatoes will probably be plant ed In St. Clair county Agent Meadows is striving to increase the acreage in soy beans. At least sixty-four farmers in that county are growing soy beans that had never before grown any.

German Towns Learn
 What Air Raids Mean

~ WEN a dose of their own medi- @ cine by allied airmen, there is
 loud wailing in German towns along
 the Rhine. Efforts are being made to influence the imperial government to
 reach an agreement with the allies re-
 garding the bombardment of open places of no military or strategic inn portance.
 Stories have come from Germany
 to the effect that the populations of
 many interior towns and cities live in
 hourly dread of air raids, and when
 the alarm is sounded there is panic
 stricken rush for shelter. The Kaiser
 and his war lords express themselves as mortified at such exhibitions of
 brutality on the part of the entente
 governments, but they must do so with grim smile. They know very well
 
 that the bombing is done in reprisal for hundreds of raids made on defense less towns and cities of France and England
 During three years Hun airmen have been dropping explosives on Lon don and Paris-the Fortress of Lon don" and the Fortress of Paris" as they are styled by the German of ficial reports. For various reasons, not the least of them the dictates of hu- manity and an unwillingness to follow the example of the Hun in making war, there were no reprisals. Now the German people are having the war brought home to them in new way and by far the worst they have yet experienced.
 Agreements could easily be reached If the imperial German government were honestly desirous of sparing un- fortified cities. The allies have TO wish to slaughter women and children and would gladly spare the lives of innocent noncombatants, as they have done heretofore. Germany has gained nothing whatever from her raids on
 Paris and London. She could we'll af- ford to refrain from these demons.ra- tions of "kultur." It isn't likely, how lever, that any agreement will be reached. The Prussian idea of war

BITTER. BUT INEVITABLE

From the, Cincinnati Times-Star. The war boards intimation that it wi simplify next springs styles in women shoes is another proof that the god . battles is entirely devoid of feminine in stincts. Otherwise he would shrink fror obHterating from current modes thos lovely curves, those varied tints an graceful if unhygienic heels which de voices of perfect shoe form so long hay worshiped.
 But necessity knows no such thing . the law of styles, and so high heels, mul go. For another fall and winter the la dies may feast their eyes on these lovel things. After that shoes with a maximum elevation of eight inches, and of bu three or four tints are to be the foot. GOV erings in which women may perambulan the public ways. And, worst of all, heel are to be low and nearly straight.
 Of course, these are man-made reguia tions, and as such normally would b odious to the independent spirit of mod ern woman. But there is 9 reason. Higl shoes, high curvins heels and many col ors mean tie waste of thousands of hour of labor which must be turned into moI. necessary channels. They also mean waste in materials. Therefore it is need less to say that the American woman who has met her war responsibilities an, endorsements with a smiling facs will accept this bitter blow, in the sam spirit There will be compensations 70 her in the new footgear, in that she. vii be able to walk longer and faster and dt more iI the service of her country.

Hines of agriculture. "Much of the
 planting of late crops" reports Agent John Blake, "is being done solely for patriotic purposes" He says there are
 no more patriotic people in the coun-
 try than those of Dallas. Many water
 heaters and sterilizers have been in- stalled by Dallas dairymen recently. There has been wonderful improve
 ment in the quality of milk and cream
 where these sterilizers have been used" While the early corn crop in
 Dallas was 10 per cent less than last season, the late-planted crops will more than make up for this decrease.
 On the whole Alabama's agricul- tural outlook is not only most cheering from this seasons point of view, but the permanency of the diversification practice is of such far-reaching bene- fit as to assure large increase of wealth for Alabama. The very en- hancement of farm values has been already in many counties, and within the next five years the values will have risen to a level higher than had ever been predicted by the most optimistic prophets.

LIKE NI,LuKE SAYS

Ioliteness costs so little that you would naturally imagine that men would give
 more of it to their wives than they do. Many a man who wears hls Sunday clothes all week saves his religion for
 Sunday use only.
 The kind of man who calls a square meal little snack is usually the same fellow who calls three hours of sound
 sleep on lounge little nap" Why is it that a man will deliberately wipe his mouth after a 1-year-old girl kisses him and never thinks of wiping it when 17-year-old girl kisses him? And what has become of the old-fash- toned detective who had to wear a dis guise?
 Everybody has a kind word for the
 man who laughs at the joke the other fellow is telling, even though he has heard the joke 50 times. A barber can usually get tip out of a youth and make the youth swell up with pride by telling the youth that he has the toughest beard he ever shaved. Storekeepers know that it is an easy matter to press bad money on married women. The poor souls get so little money that they do not know the diff ference.
 Once in a while a restaurent egg gets too old to serve soft boiled. But it never gets to old to serve in an omelet. After bride has been married about two months she is glad to get down off her high horse and recognize the com mon, ordinary people she snubbed when she was first married. After nice young man calls on a girl for the first time she stays awake
 pretty near all night wondering if she
 pade an impression. Isn't it funny that lemons. peaches and nuts will often grow on the same fa mily tree?
 A married man might as well behave himself. If his sins do not find him
 out his wife will.
