TECH TEAM IS
CLOSE WINNER
Brilliant Work in Second Half
Brings Victory to the
Maroon Team

Techs varsity five, one of this sea-
sons strong contenders for scholastic
honors, started the season with a
rush last night. The Maroon five won
over the Alumni team, score rs to 2S
The winner was not declared until
the final whistle was blown.
The Alumni five offered a stubborn
resistance. Goal shooting from the
field and lack of teamwork at critical
times kept the former stars back. The
first half ended in a score of IA to .
in favor of Alumni. This brought
some lively spurts in the second pc
riod.

1NDoRsED BABY BONDS
q the Selma Journal.

From the Selma JOuTildi.
 Chawford Johnson, who is directing this campaign for War Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds in Alabama and who is making it a success, tells some good stories about the work He was in Selma not long ago and will probably be here again before this drive is very much older.
 MT. Johnson says he met man who seemed to have plenty of money and who did not want to buy the Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps
 sThey ought to have some kind of a guarantee" said the man of money.
 "They are guaranteed" said MT John son. But will you guarantee them%' asked the man with the money, if SO, will buy the limit T will guarantee them.'' said MT. Johnson. Write out your guarantee, said the man with the money.
 MT. Johnson got piece of paper pretty quickly and proceeded to write that he, Crawford Johnson. stood personally as the guarantor of the Baby Bonds which the said man was about to buy. He

CONSOLATION IN POETRY

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 What better than "the tender charm of poetry to while away long hours of imprisonment? What better could one suggest to those conscientious objectors journ at Fort Leavenworth than that they study some of the poetic gems that brightly stud the language of the country they refuse to defend
 For instance, let them begin by pom dering these words from one who wrote often of war and may-who knows?-- have had vision of the conscientious objector of the future: 70 coward conscience, how dost thou
 afflict me!''
 Or. from the same poet, again: My conscience hath thousand several
 tongues,
 And every tongue brings in a several And every tale condemns me for vil-
 lain.
 Again. from the same student of life and writer of poetry: Thus conscience does make towards Of
 us all.
 Finally if all these gems of wisdom fail to solace, the young gentlemen at Fort Leavenworth may find consolation in this:
 Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel
 just,
 And he but naked, though locked up in
 steel
 Whose conscience with injustice is cor
 rupted.
 Twenty-Five years are slow in passing and anything one may do to help while away the long hours for these keenly sensitive souls who refuse to wear their country's uniform even for ,noncombatant service may be deemed . contribution tp the peace of mind of group whose minds seem particuariy to need peace.' The possibilities of poetry in this cons nection seem hardly to have been, tested.

Dairy Business
 Increasing Rapidly

MISSISSIPPI, with its twenty 4V4 odd creameries, has led most of the southern states in butter pro- duction and dairy by-products, but Alabama is fast catching up with it.
 J. F. Duggar of Auburn, director of the cooperative extension work, re- ports that the dairy business in the vicinity of Selma is increasing rapidly. "The dairy industry in Alabama" he says, amounted to very little until the coming of the boil weevil," but since the appearance of the pest the dairy enterprise within radius of twenty or twenty-five miles of Selma has been developed on large scale.
 Only few days ago J. P Quinerly and William Hardie, dairy husband men of the extension service, re- turned from Ohio, bringing with them six carloads of registered Jerseys for

THE CLASSIC .DoCTOR" m the Mobile Register.


 In an address to the graduates of Bellevue hospital, of which he himself is a graduate, Surgeon General William O. Gorgas 'contrasted the methods of military surgery of 50 years ago with those of today; he also stated that the general practitioner, skilled in all fields of medicine-the one who can do any thing necessary for the health of the soldier--is the one most urgently needed by the army"
 What General Gorgas says about the general practitioner and the army applies with equal force to the practitioners re- lation to the general public. The old fashioned doctor seems to be rapidly passing. Taking his place is the spe- cialist, who is multiplying in greater pro portion year after year. The higher ices the specialist obtains for his services and the promptness with which he is paid, is believed by the medical profes- sion at large to be the moving cause for medical men to go into special work.
 General Gorgas mas done public serv- ice in bringing this matter to the atten- ton of his profession. The classic doc tor' is so much a part of the warp and wool of our daily life that it is sincerely to be hoped that his high and honorable estate will act as an incentive to keep the ranks filled.

From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
 GTN]HE Society of Automotive En-
 gineers has just finished two
 days session in Dayton. It was appropriate that such an organization should hold it's meeting at this time in the very center of the countrys aircraft activities, and that it should end it's sessions with demonstration in honor of Orville Wright the sur vivor of the two brothers who invented the airplane.
 The story of that invention is one that cannot be told too often, for the lesson it carries to young Americans in energy. perseverance, determination and hard thinking. The invention of the airplane was no lucky accident. It was the result of the hardest sort of hard, systematic work. The Wrights did not say: "We will try this shape of machine and that shape of machine until we find something that will fly" Instead, they worked out the theory of the resistance of curved surfaces to air, and then built their planes in ac- cordance with the results obtained in their laboratory. There was no guess work about it.
 Engineers had been working on these very problems for several years They had devised methods for measuring the resistance of curved surfaces, but their methods were wrong. The Wrights studied the problems until they discovered the mistakes that had been made. Then they worked out the correct methods, made their measure ments and constructed on this basis planes that would sustain themselves in the air if driven at a certain speed.
 That was not enough. They had found in the course of their experi- ments that rigid plane was unstable in the air. and was liable to upset. So they studied that problem until they found the solution in making the tips of the wings flexible, and under the control of the operator.
 The next thing Was to get proper motor to drive the machine. There

1 the patrons of the Selma creamery.
 The cattle were carefully selected and tuberculin tested.
 The Jerseys were bought at reason able prices-lower than had been pre- vailing-owing to the acute labor shortage in Ohio. Incidentally, MT. Quinerly states that "while we have a labor shortage in the south it is to compare with what it is in Ohio"
 The Alabama dairy husbandmen re- ferred to have made three trips to Ohio. On the first they brought back one carload of Jerseys, and on the sec ond one carload. The fact that they brought back six carloads on the re- cent trip indicates how well pleased representatives of the creamery indus try are with the early selections that had been made.
 Few business enterprises are more profitable than the creamery, and no state in the south offers better ad- vantages for it's development than Alabama. It should not be many years before the number of creameries is multiplied three or fourfold.

State Appropriation
 Should Be Released

.NNF all the humane institutions in " Alabama none is in such urgent need of financial assistance as the State Training School for Girls at East Lake and none is more deserv- ing of help.
 In view of the distressing situation resulting from the lack of funds it is hoped that Governor Henderson will release immediately the fifty thousand dollars appropriation for the proper housing and care of the girls.
 The directors of the Birmingham Civic association are to be strongly commended for taking up the matter actively and whole-heartedly The resolutions introduced by Judge Will liam E. Fort, after setting forth the ld1b bIldL CWO ouCNG0olFG SIdlid JuIISO have reported the intolerable living conditions at the schools "intolerable and disgrace to civilization n"-peti- tion the governor to release at once the appropriation for said school or such part of the same as is so urgently needed"
 A committee will present the reso- lutions to the governor with as little delay as possible and with the confi- dent expectation of a ready compi- |ance. When the states aid is forth coming there will be rejoicing not only at the school itself, but among Fall the people of Alabama who know of the struggles of the institution and of the heaven-inspired efforts of the good women of this community who established the school and have worked increasingly forsits upbuilding.

Call for Actors in
 Greatest of All Dramas

TITO play part, however small, in < the greatest drama the world has ever seen. Isn't that worth any mans or any woman's while? That is why rich mems sons and poor mems sons hastened to volunteer when President Wilson declared war on Germany. That is why men whose an nual salaries ranged from $50, 900 up set aside their private business to work for Uncle Sam for s1 a year. That is why the patriotic men and women of America have put their shoulders to the cannon's wheel, work ing and fighting for democracy.
 Is there anyone so callous to the crucifixion of humanity in Europe, so absorbed in his own selfish purposes or so hampered by sloth and apathy that his heart does not beat little faster in these stirring times?
 Never before in the worlds history has so great a struggle been waged for so lofty a purpose and one which more intimately concerned every man, woman and child on the face of this earth. Heretofore wars have been to a. large extent local. The boasted Roman empire was small compared to the territory of Great Britain or America. But every blow that is struck in Picardy, in Flanders and along the Piave has meaning for races yet unborn. The worlds future liberty is at stake-perhaps for ages. Once established, the empire which is the dream of the Hohenzollerns would not be easily overthrown.
 InVevery corner of Europe and America, north as we'll as south; in the distant islands of the Pacific, in Asia, in Africa-everywhere the war against Prussian domination is being felt.
 Can we, who know what is at stake and realize what our responsibilities are, ignore the call to duty? To pass through this absorbing drama of hu- man woe and liberation without talk ing some part in it is to acknowledge ourselves clay in which there is not a trace of the divine spark.

You can't make some men believe that any man who belongs to the other political party is a patriot
 There is always hope for a man as long as he takes a deep interest in the baseball scores.
 It never occurs to a married couple that if they tried half as hard to be pleasant to each other as they did during their engagement they wouldn't be so disappointed with each other
 A woman regards it as a compliment to have you say that she is cute" But if you say that about man he will want to slap you on the nose.
 We imagine that the man who origi- mated the saying: As smart as a steel trap knew that a steel trap knows when to shut up.
 A red brick house isn't green any man knows that. But it is a doggone sight greener than a grass widow.
 We may be crazy. But we would rather have the trouble that come from having too much money than have the troubles that come from not having enough money.
 Don't follow the rut and do certain things just because the other slaves who work with you do those things. A dead fish floats with the stream, but a live one bucks the current and goes the other way

Must Birmingham
 Do Without the Circus?

A s that clever cartoonist, Briggs, 6A says, Somebody is always talk ing the joy out of life." Now our honorable city commissioners have joined the funeral procession of dig |nitaries who scatter gloom as they go and have placed legal embargo on the circus, as well as the street fair, the carnival show and all similar enterprises.
 It were no great hardship to part with the carnival shows which visit us at periodic intervals, spread them selves along block of some quiet street and draw swarms of small boys and colored citizens to see what glittering wares they offer, but the circus, if one may be permitted to mix metaphors, is horse of another color.
 Is it possible that the city commits sioners would have us forego the de- lights of the Barnum & Bailey or the Ringing show? Must we face barren years without the gorgeous street parade, with its screeching calliope, its long line of gilded wagons. it's gaily caparisoned riders, it's elephants, camels and frolicking clowns, which are mere prelude to the more sub- stantial feast to be enjoyed in the menagerie tent and under the "big top," where old and young behold that Unparalleled aggregation of won- ders" dear to the press agents heart?
 A city without circus is a city of sighs and tears. And this is not plea for the young alone. Grownups are as keen to see the big show when it comes to town as the boys and girls
 
 are. That man or woman who is no longer thrilled by the circus is to be pitied. They can never recover, even for moment, the freshness of youth.
 It has long been claimed that circuses carry away enormous sums of money. They have been regarded by certain class of business men as intruders. But the big shows leave large sums of money behind them. They spend more in dayfor supplies than all the musical comedies that visit Birmingham in year.
 In these parlous timeslwe need the circus. It is clean, vifile form of amusement. It is good for boys and girls, and it is good for old people.

 But if it had not been for that older machine the new one would never

Inspiring Sight

"One of the most inspiring sights l have ever seen,' said Mrs. Nixon Nor ris, was the parade of the wives, sis ters and mothers of the enlisted men in New York city.
 T have paraded with Liberty Loans, Red Cross and various other things, but I have never seen such enthusiasm be- fore. The soldiers and Jackies came first. thousands of them and they were greeted with the cheers that group of khaki clad men always inspires, but when the women came, many of them with tears streaming down their faces, a cheer arose that surpassed anything I've ever heard
 "There were thousands and thousands of spectators and most of them wept even as they cheered, and when the boys halted and sang, There's a Long, Long Trail That's Winding it was per- fectly heart rending. I walked several miles, but I was in such state of ex- altation I scarcely realized that my feet touched the ground.
