Prohibition Prices on

THE high cost of living high is
 U reported by the New York cor respondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch to be felt with crushing effect by chorus ladies accustomed to dine sumptuously every evening at the ex- pense of stage-door "Johnny." In fact, the latter species of animal is said to be rapidly fading away from his favorite haunts and by June 30 lis expected to become almost as scarce las the dodo.
 Front-row girls are actually being compelled to eat their midnight meal at ''home" and it is rumored that they are even patronizing MT. Childs' justly famous restaurants where a quarter still makes enough noise to be audible to the cashier.
 The supply of champagne is grow ing shorter every day-or every night, to be exact-and it is predicted that $1OO a quart will soon be charged in the cabaret belt. The following prices

BEGINNING THE DAY--BIess the old today. In the evening may it be light to them. Give them new eyes and ears for the sights and sounds of Thy Kingdom. Lead them beside the still waters. And do Thou help me to live today in view of the time when I too shall be walking in the twilight In Christs name. Amen. HI. M. E.

k * x Tendency to Normal Price Levels Noted


 1THE postwar reconstructionperiod y is gradually assuming bright CT outlook. The new era of prosperity Is not delayed beyond reasonable ex- pectations, for the most ardent op- tmist never predicted business re- rovery on a peace basis immediately after the signing of the armistice.
 But every sign of improvement is cheering and it is believed in many quarters that by summer the disloca- tion of industrial conditions will begin to disappear.
 Secretary Redfield of the United States department of commerce fore sees in the discontinuance of price fixing for hogs, the lowering of steel prices and the prospective reduction of freight rates a general tendency toward the restoration of a normal level.
 With the coming of spring activity in the building trades is plainly in evidence, and the plans for construc- ton work in many lines will soon take shape. The second half of the year will witness a healthy boom.

 What Church Tithing
 Would Accomplish 1T 7NDER the caption, ''Tithing," a " writer in World Outlook esti- mates that eff every churchman in the United States gave one-tenth of his income, there would be something over two billions of dollars every year for the big enterprises of Christianiz- ing the world"
 It is figured this way: There are over forty million five hundred thou san persons connected with some Christian body. In this country the per capita income is about five hun- dred dollars. Multiply and take the tenth of the total and "you get re- suit that is astounding"
 In Old Testament days tithing was commanded and practiced and in some Christian centers tithing was con- tinued and conscientiously observed. It is still the rule with many pious peo- ple but the custom is not so general as it used to be, especially among the rich.
 How many men whose income reaches a hundred thousand dollars give as much as ten thousand for church purposes? While some do even better than that the great majority think they have performed their part if they contribute one fiftieth of their income.

Enjoyed Mrs. Be.t,. TaIk

T had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. A. Starr Best, national president of the Drama league, speak to a choice group of women and public spirited men at the Tutwiler on Friday afternoon" said J. Mercer Barnett, who is just back from Palm Beach, land she certainly has a delightful speaking voice and an ex- quisite choice of words.
 She spoke only a short while, but she outlined a programme for an auditorium which was most comprehensive and al- turing. I feel that she, as official mouth piece of the Drama league, started some thing which will eventuate into a civic building for community purposes which will be built in the near future as a me- morial to our army and navy heroes.

Whenever-- tho south reaches the point where 1t has the power to mass and mobilize it's varied interests behind anything it wants 1t will get 1t and not until then No one interest can play the game alone and make a winning.

  PEANUT POLITICS AT WASHINGTON From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The republican members of the Sem ate, while they have been prudent enough to let the Victory Loan bill go to the President for his signature, have not placed themselves or their party in a very creditable position before the country. The deliberate insincer- ity of the caucus decision against a filibuster was made plain by the sub seouent course of individual republi- can senators on the floor of the Sen ate. If on the eve of the close of the Congress and at the threshold of the new Congress in which the republicans are to have control the party can of fer the country no better programme than ons-of childish obstruction, the outlook for constructive statesmanship on its part in the near future is not very promising. While the present majority must bear a large part of the blame for the congestion on the call endar and for the failure of so many
 
 the country will not be disposed to overlook the fact that the republican minority. soon to be a majority. has been playing pretty small and unpa- triotic game of peanut politics.

 Tt seems that at last both the Ala bama and North Alabama conferences have awakened to the fact that one of the best and cheapest ways to get their work before their great constituencies rate the circulation is climbing I un- derstand it will soon top 20,000 The spe- cia1 centenary edition promises to be a record breaker as to matter, makeup and the number of copies circulated.

 no longer die before they are two years old. Fifty million outcasts in India would find new light and new life. Christianity instead of Moham- mechanism would win eighty million blacks in central and south Africa. "In the homeland, every minister's salary could be doubled some of them need it desperately!-every church could have it's own parish house and community center, while as for be- nevolence-every great board could be increased one thousand per cent, except the board of education, and that could be increased five thousand per cent-multiplied by fifty"
 One hears less of agnosticism and less of Christian apathy than was heard a few years ago. The war has had the effect of deepening religious lfeeling. The church press is less pes- lsimistic than it was, and as for church workers, they are keyed up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The re- vival spirit seems to be all-pervading, but will the tithing practice take the hold on the adherents of churches that it had when social life was less com- plex? The question is surely worth serious consideration.

 Better Schools for
 Jefferson County
 e ONE of the good effects of the 0 three-mill school tax are begin ming to be seen in many counties of Alabama. Jefferson is to be im- measurably better off in school facili- ties in the near future.
 The county board of education is performing excellent service in pro- viding new school buildings and in and enlarging old ones. The high schools now in course of con- struction will be of distinct credit to the county, and twenty-five or thirty grammar schools are being modern ized. Every school will be made sani- tary and will be supplied with pure drinking water.
 One of the best things the board has done was in increasing teachers sal aries. They had been underpaid and later on they should receive even larger salaries than they are receiving today.
 At the rate the board is going now, with an able and enterprising superin- tendent in charge of the pedagogic work, Jefferson county will easily keep abreast of the most progressive sections of the country.
