WASHINGTON, March 4--The House of Representative has passed a resolution asking the Peace Con- ference to favorably consider Ire lands claim for self determination in consonance with one of President Wilson's most important Peace terms.
 Little opposition was offered to the passage of this resolution, most of the representative seemingly being in sympathy with Irelands claim for independence and establishment of an Irish republic on the same grounds to be granted them, as the independence of the Poles, Czechs and Jugo-Slavs has virtually been assured by the Peace Conference.

THE BOY SCOUTS-By Frank Willis Barnett

A vcium;nous literature is already published by head quarters, explaining ali of these matters and giving ample suggestions for effec- tive initiation of scouting in any given locality.
 It ought to be the pride of every fam fly having a son eligible for membership to have him enrolled in the Boy Scouts of America. It ought to be the purpose of every man without sons to at least be an associate member and help. the boys of others to better chance for fun, training and service. IL ought to be tho determination of every young man who loves lads and wishes to put ther, in the right path to offer his time as Scout leader. It ought to be a cause of rs- joicing to every one that such clean, healthy, sane influence is getting deeply rooted in our national life today
 The papers have been full of the drive during the past week, and I am only add ing this word at this hour because I know that many are prone to procras- tination and in 1t is done in the hope that whole lot of them will get in be- fore the sun goes down.

 The Boy Scout movement has given or ganized boyhood a place alongside the Red Cross and other great organizations as a national institution. It is no longer an experiment but an accomplished fact. for it has more than made good in all of the war activities, and has received the praise of those in high authority.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE TEXAS OIL 5| FIELDS AND MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST

NWll who have been to the Texas oil
 fields recently returned strongly believing that there were better prob abilities for making money in the Bir- mingham district than out there.
 In the Texas oil field it is a gamble, pure and simple.
 One would stand a better chance by going tc New York or Saratoga and playing the races for several weeks. There would be much better opportunity for one coming home with profits-cer- tainly more sport and excitement.
 As matter of fact the big companies with their expert oil men in the field have gathered up most of the good leases. They know the business and they know the proven field.
 Some wildcatters with the nerve of the big gambler, have struck oil and have uiduc IDItunSS. 1Hcy WSISt IOHCNCAs III the field in the early part of the game. Most of them have been bought out by the big companies or. their holdings have been surrounded and wells drilled near them. which have taken large part of the oil from the reservoirs below
 Of course there is good opportunity for the young man just entering business life in the Texas oil fields. The young sters who are willing to work hard can get good big wages and have opportun- ities to accumulate interests in some of panies which pay them well and give them great opportunities of advance ment.
 But the speculator pure and simple. like lot of Birmingham people who have gone out to look around, have lit- tie chance of a ten strike. And the man who is buying the many. oil stocks now offered and stocks in companies having oil land leases have about the same chance of making a big winning that they would in playing the numbers on a roulette wheel.

Many contracts for new houses are being awarded. There is building boom in other southern cities and it will soon be so in Birmingham.
