Fair Play for the Advertiser

From LeSlle'S.
 Common sense. If a concern pays a fortune to produce a popular product and another fortune to advertise 1t so as to give it a nationwide popularity, it would seem to be only just and fair to the manufacturer that he should pc rewarded when after ha has secured reputation for his product at a fixed price, it's reputation and it's price are both sacrificed to the selfish purposes of price cutters, seeking trade by cut ting prices on standardized articles ana marking up prices of other goods 10 the customers they have thus inveigied. The decision of Vice Chancellor Lane or New Jersey that a manufactures can 1lx a price to which retail dealers and others must adhere is ill the line of common sense and equity, and ought to be good law. The vice chancellor held that the trade name of the Ingersoll watch was a thing of value entitled to pro lection and that the maker had rignt without offense to public policy or the sherman or Clayton acts, to forbid the resale of his products at less than stand ard r.rice without removing the manu- facturer's mark and guarantee. This decision rests upon such a basis of jus tice that we believe 1t must be sus- tained by the highest court.

Sixteen Thousand Shirts

From October Film Fun.
 The stage women's war relief. when August returns were in, had sent abroad 16Oo0 baby dresses. made at their own cost and under their own supervision, from material they procured. They've sent hundreds of comfort kits. Their accomplishment is something to be proud of, but the baby dresses are the banner achievement
 The stage women-and that means the film favorites, too-have always had their own original ideas to work on. This time they invaded clubs, barber shops billiard parlors, hotel Hobbies and other meeting places of men, and tackled up in a conspicuous place one of the little garments, explaining the need for them and how they could be made from clothes no longer serviceable. The men respond ed "manfully." They co-operated glo- riously; their enthusiasm seems to wax rather than wane.
 Indications are not lacking that the haberdashers, as well as the refugee babies, are rising up to call the stage women ''bIessed." Which is as it should be- Among the workers who remodel the garments many war widows find congenial employment to meet their needs.

Wars Effect on Motors

H. w. SlauSon, in Leslie's.
 But the results of the war will not be restricted entirely to the effect on the motorist and the increased de- mand for the better known makes; a new era of car ownership will have started; the host of owners who, through experience, will have learned that washing solution not thoroughly rinsed off will ruin the high finish of car will hereafter treat their new acquisitions with more care; the evils of carbon accumulation will have been learned and the cars of the future will be driven with better carburetor ad- justment and with more frequent at tent!on paid to the chemical or me- charica1 removal of what we have pre- viously termed the "black plague;" the visible and expensive evidence of rap- i'd tire deterioration, following mat tention to tread cuts and bruises, or to insufficient imitation, will have served its purposes, and to double the manufacturers guaranteed mileage will be the rule rather than the ex- ception.
 The war is promoting efficiency in our business and in our households why should it not have an equally ben ef1cfal effect upon our motoring?

PROF ALLSOPP ID DIRECT COMMUNITY SING AT ENSLEY Y Influenza Cases Decrease in Steel City-Funeral of
 Victims Today CHURCH SERVICES
 ARE DISCONTINUED Liberty Loan Campaign Will Be Continued With Vigor During
 Coming Week

with the coming of the Community singing in Ensley the Steel City and its three subrubs will be more closely drawn together than since this part of the district was taken into Greater Br- ningham. For the past nine years Pratt City. Vivian and Fairfield have looked towards Birmingham as the center of things, and with the distance that in- tervenes between these suburbs and the center of the city the community spirit has been lost and by the establishment of a central sing in this part of the city, the committee hopes to re-establish the community spirit and produce fellowship among the four suburbs of this district.
 Prof. Stephen Allsopp, who has been ap- pointed director of the sing here, has endeavored to choose his committee to assist him from each adjoining district The Male chorus of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, a musical organization we'll known throughout the city, has promised hearty cooperation and musicians from the various orches- +ras of the four sections have promised r> give their services and 12 pieces will play and support the singers at each meeting Solos and choruses will feature each meeting as well as the congrega- t;onal singing.
 The meetings, which will be held at the First Methodist church, on Avenue c and Twentieth street, will be held on Monday evenings when the board of health lifts the ban on public meetings.
 MT Allsopp, who has rendered his serv- ices free of charge as director for this district, is one of the most widely known directors in Alabama, as well as in England and Wales, from which he came. ic Jr1 irpif ChOIT chorus and oratorio work and one oc- casion while directing a chorus of 5000 voices in the Crystal Palace, England, he was presented with an ivory, gold tipped baton by the late King Edward. His experience with children's choirs has persuaded him to add a children's di- vision to the choir of the community sings.
 MT. AIlsopp believes these sings to De a war measure in keeping the nome fires burning" and is to be commended for his patriotic service

New York's Mounted Cons

 Journal.
 The New York State trooners is
 ganization similar in scope and action 10 the Canadian Northwest mounted mo- ice and the Pennsylvania state constabu- lary' The idea was not new in politicat Albany. Nearly every New York gover- nor for the past % years had if in mlnd;' but there was always so much political opposition, especially from inc country districts, where the sheriff and the constable are supposed to keen law and order, that the measure was conyen- iently forgotten.
 But the increasing number Of pettv crimes and the decreasing number of ar- rests and convictions. finally induced the present governor, Charles S. Whitman to bring the matter to a head and force the legislature to make the necessary ap- preparation. Lawlessness of many sorts nad always flourished in the Empire State. For instance, the petty crime of chicken stealing in New York state alone amounted to an annual loss to poultry raisers of over $2,000,OOO Thousands or home gardens were raided annually for vegetables by lawless foreigners Or- chards were stripped of their best prodl ucts in a night. Sheep stealing became so open that a number of raisers refused to increase their flocks. Cattle and horse stealing eclipsed the deeds of the fa- nous marauders of the early west Aside from this, the country districts of New York have abounded in cheap dives of the lowest type, while the gambling ana liquor regulations were regarded as only so many words The laws governing the speed of automobiles and the use of li- censes were completely ignored. year ago the state discovered that there were thousands more automobiles in use than " bIr he
 The reason for all this is the average county administrator of the law. He is unable to cope with the situation. The rural districts of New York-as in any other state without mounted police-had been without proper protection.

 Now that the Crowder recommendation to include boys from the age of IS up ward in the next draft has been passed, it is well to look back for a moment into history and see how boys of that age can really fight The conscientious objectors to that seemingly early limit will be met practically by the fact that no sane draft board will admit into the army boys of IS who are stunted, siclsly, feeble, or in any way unfitted for a strenuous soldiers career Older men are not admitted under those conditions, and the choice of the best youth will be whose famous command was "Never give up the ship entered the service at the age of It.
