Henry Willingham, the active pres ident of the state normal, "but the an- nual meeting of the Alabama Educa- tional association was in session In Birmingham and 1t was necessary for me to attend. It would have given me genuine pleasure to have been able to have had a part in entertaining my friends from the Magic City. I have been greatly pleased at the remarks have heard here from the lips of those who had been and seen what the Florentines had and hoped to have in the very near future"

T think the mere fact that Dr. Welch, state health officer of Ala bama, is to address the Birmingham Pastors union on Monday morning at it's regular session ought to insure a full attendance" said Dr. S.

I feel sure that if the preachers in reach of Birmingham knew the importance of his message that he would have many out-of-town ministers to hear him. heard him speak a week or two ago and he made profound impression on me.

'B||'RUCES BOMBED
But AVlATORS
TOOK CHANCES
Submarine Base is One of
Best Fortified Towns
in World.

London, Sept. "a. -(Correspond-
.ence of the Associated Press.)-Perils
risked by British airmen in night
bombing Of Bruges. a most important
German submarine base In Belgium,
are graphically described by Captain
Paul Bewsher, d. S. c., of the British
royal air force. Bruges has been sub
oected to air attacks 80 often that it
IS now considered of the best de-
Tended cities on the western front.
The pilot and observer of a British
light bombing machine proceeding to
Bruges have usually no difficulty IN
finding their way, as a haze Of light
from the searchlights can be seen
20 or 80 miles off, the captain writes.
AS they draw nearer they see a maze
OF l5 or 16 searchlights moving rest
lessly over the town, looking for some
whose engine has been
heard. Suddenly they see the red
HASH OF a bursting bomb and then
another and another. At once chains
OF brilliant emerald-colored balls of
fire pour upwards in ceaseless lines,
filling h sky with green bubbles Of
light The machine is not picked up,
however, and gradually the lights and
shell fire die away.
Nov they are drawing nearer and
the observer .crawls through a little
ooor INTO the nose Of the machine,
examines his bomb handle, and adj
5usts the bomb-dropping sight. AS he
kneels, a heavily muffled figure, in his
little wooden cockpit, 10000 feet
over nothing, he is SO absorbed in
watching the ground that his sur
roundings seem to him perfectly nor
NAL: he is entirely at his ease.
Below, he sees the black line Of
n canal which he is using as a
guide. He turns the pilot 10 the left
with a wave of his hand, and then
again to the right, and stops him with
an uplifted arm.
Ahead he can see the dark mass
OF the town, and to the left the long
basins Of the docks. Far to the left
lies the dark line of the Belgian coast,
and over Ostende and Zeebrugge
move the sentinel searchlights. Bruges
lies dark and dim. snatching a brief
rest from its tumultuous night.

FRUITS in ALASKA

A news dispatch the other day told Of the vast guam
titles of wild currants that had gone to waste this year
in Alaska, and Of the large quantities which had been
by residents of the coast towns who had the
means to get a short distance into the interior.
Ordinarily we do not think of Alaska as a fruit
country, but neither do we, as a rule, think Of the vast
extent and various climate Of Alaska. It is a country of
distances. and for great stretches along IT'S
coast there are hundreds Of thousands Of SQUARE
miles where wild fruits grow in profusion. Economically
this Of itself means little or nothing. But where wild
fruits grow naturally cultivated fruits can be made to
thrive. and because none Of our possibilities are to be
permitted to go to waste, it is apparent that the time
will come when Alaska will be the locale Of a vast small
fruit industry. Some day adequate transportation facii-
ties will be provided. and Alaska will sustain a large
engaged. among other, things. in the produce
ton of berries, and, in addition to eating Alaska salmon.
we will be enjoying Alaskan strawberries and curranys.

At one station in France there are regularly employed
200 ohicers. 200 mechanics and 200 Chinese laborers.
And these men are kept busy all the time.
The new Liberty motor with which these machines
are being equipped is the most powerful engine Of its
weight in existence. It has met every test satisfactorily,
and as an Indications the immense power which it de-
yelops a writer who visited this station says that during
a test, with the plane chained to the ground, and held
by. men to keep II from plunging, the whirling propeller
created such a suction that a man who had inadvertently
stepped too near was drawn in and killed.
The station referred to is one, Of several. and alto
gether a small army is employed in the work Of as
testing and adjusting the machines before they
are turned over to the men who are to fly them.

THE STATE AS AN EMPLOYER

8f IL state, a a settled policy, seek to become
= large employer of men? The Socialists say yes. They
maintain that the whole theory Of private property is
wrong, and that the state itself should own and operate
be the only employer Of labor. For verification Of this
the reader is referred to the writings of any recognized
authority who is himself a Socialist.
Few people would be willing to accept that program
entire. Even those who profess to be Socialists would,
as a rule. balk at parts of it. But that is the simon pure
doctrine OF Socialism. There is, however, a field within
which it appears that the state might advantaseouslv be
an employer Of labor on a large scale, entirely aside from
the cases of emergency which may arise from time to
There is always enough work that needs to be done
to keep everyone .usefully employed. But there are Pc
RODS Of greater or less depression during which much
work is suspended. not because it need not be done. hut
because those who have it in charge have not the means,
or fear that they may not be able to obtain the means
wherewita to continue it. Then large numbers Of peo-
Mple are thrown out Of employment; their earnings cease;
their demand for goods diminishes; and their own lack
Of employment accentuatcs the very conditions which
caused it. .
The state. in such a case-and by the state Is meant
the nation-could act as an equalizer by keeping in prog
ress certain public works which always need to be per-
formed. and for which it can always find the money to
pay, and into which all persons who desired could be in
-J way
denand4for labor thus created by the state would with
draw workers from. other employment, and all private
industries would lag. This is not necessary. The adjust
ment of wages would regulate that. The state should
pay a living wage to all whom 1t employs For certain
kinds Of work it should pay much more than it does.
But for such work as is suggested which would be used
largely for the filling in Of idle time. the wage scale.
while sufficient to meet the ordinary needs of existence,
could be a trifle flower than the ordinary wages paid to
people of the class employed. Private employment
would then be preferred as a rule. But the worker
whose private occupation failed him temporarily would
have a certain refuge in government employment at
wages which, while less than he had been accustomed to
receive, would be sufficient to enable him to live without
becoming a public charge.
Some such plan would insure to every person en-
ployment at all times at living wages. In ordinary times
he would engage in private work, but at other times he
would help the government to make and mend its roads,
build its great dams, drain its swamps, and do many
things which the government must do. The plan would
act as an equalizer. and its operation would tend to pre-
vent those periods of depression which occasionally sweep
over the country.
