Opposed To Hazing
 In Schools and Colleges

1l1 AZING was always condemned 0 0 by college faculties and in re- cent years it has virtually vanished las "side degree" initiation into the student body of institutions of learn ling.
 In some of the smaller academies a little hazing fun may be indulged in now and then, but such is now off lcially banned in Alabama. Senator Watt Browns resolution against haz ing was easily carried by viva voce vote.
 The Military academy at West Point was for long time the hotbed o1 hazing. The War Department took vigorous steps to root it out. 1t was strictly against the regulations, but ii was difficult to break it up entirely It frequently happened that cadets upon their entrance, were roughly treated. Congress had more than one investigation into cases where cadets sustained physical injuries.
 But hazing is now thing of the past at West Point, as it is practically in all well-regulated institutions
 Preparatory school boys and colleg freshmen are boys, just as they were in days gone by, but they have sport enough in athletic games without re sorting either to foolishness or bru tality.
 Senator Browns resolution will nevertheless, be worth while. Witt lthe states disapproval placed on haz ling it is certain there will be no more Iof it in Alabama, even sporadically.

Article X of Covenant
 Attributed To Wilson

MIN his speech delivered at Peoria, 1 H., Tuesday night, under the aus pices of the American legion, Senator James Hamilton Lewis disclosed some heretofore unpublished facts on the origin and history of Article X'' of the league of nations covenant
 According to excerpts from Senator Lewis speech, mailed from Washing ton, President Wilson's reluctance to take personal credit for anything ac- counts for his failure to reveal to the American people where and how the much-discussed phraseology of Article X originated.
 Senator Lewis says the terms in Article X which have set the Reeds, Borahs and Lodges by the ears and, thanks to the general confusion of the public mind, have caused misgivings among American citizens who really fear that the league will involve us in one European broil after another, belong to Mir. Wilson alone, with the exception of the addition suggested by General Shuts that political inde- pendence" be safeguarded by league members.
 President Wilson, declares Senator Lewis, expressed this idea of prevent ing ssexternal aggression" long before the peace conference was held 1T Paris and at that time had in mind South American states which were threatened by invasion from larger states. In an address delivered al Mobile in 1915, Senator Lewis said the President referred to this very spirit in Clause K" It is Senator Lewis contention that Article X is simply MT. Wilson's interpretation o1 the Monroe Doctrine applied to the world. At the time of it's origin il had no reference to Ireland or any other European country.
 The Illinois senator offers some in teresting testimony to refute the charges that Lord Robert Cecil or any other European diplomat framed Article X for the express purpose o1 employing the United States to draw Europe's chestnuts out of the fire.

Order Cars Promptly

'The Southern Railway company and Alabama Great Southern railroad are in- augurating a campaign to expedite the prompt handling through this terminal of all carload shipments said l.. Cowan, agent of the Southern railway.
 'We are calling on each and every re- ceiver of carload shipments to assist us in making this campaign a success by ordering the cars promptly on arrival, with an end to releasings same as promptly as possible on account of the present shortage of equipment.
 "An cars that are ordered before 4 o'clock in the afternoon will be placed that day. Any cars orderedl after that time cannot consistently be placed be- fore the following day. I feel that by ordering cars promptly the service will be to your interests as well as to that of the carrier"

More Bread and Less of
 Other Food Consumed

THIS country is great producer 0 of grain and the people are eating more bread and less of other food than ever.
 According to official statistics, the consumption of flour during the last seventy days shows an increase of three million barrels or fifteen per cent over the same period last year, A fall in prices of other foodstuffs has been the result. It may be some time yet before the high cost of liv- ing will come down appreciably But the more flour the people eat, the Hess will be the expense of the family table Ns Americans as a rule had been in the habit of eating too much meat
 Some heavy food is needed, of course,
 but lighter diet is commended for |
 health.
 Americas wheat crop this year will
 reach about one billion bushels and
 the production of corn will reach
 something like three billion bushels
 Properly baked wheat bread and
 we'll prepared corn bread go a long
 way in making up substantial meal
 With vegetables added, comparatively
 little meat will be demanded by the
 average family. N * a $

/ Tire Prices Going Up

George Watkins predicts rise in the While we have had no positive infor- nation on the subject" he said yester. day, "the general dope among all the dealers is that tire prices will go soar ing very soon. It is hard to figure out just why this is unless it is due to a shortage of production. With winter coming on the demand for tires ought to decrease somewhat, but in spite of this fact the indications are that prices will go up. Those who will need tires with in the next few months might save a few dollars by buying now"

FALSE STEP BY STEEL STRIKERS

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The refusal of the leaders of the
 strike movement against the United
 States Steel corporation to listen
 either to the restraining counsels all of the American Federation of Labor
 or to the appeal of President Wilson for truce in industrial conflict until after the Washington conference on the relations of employers and en. ployeG has relegated 70 a secondary place every other present considera- ton in connection with the threatened tie-up of the steel industry. Their determination to force the issues they have raised to the point of open war | fare, with the possible result of inter rupt:ng one of the basic industries of the country, an industry upon the out put of which so much of the continued progress and prosperity of the United States depend. has deprived the unlon- 1 ists of whatever initial advantage might have been derived from a free discussion of the particular points at I issue between the steel corporation and those of it's employees who have
 sought the help of union organizers to better their working conditions.
 It is certain that the strikers en-
 ter the conflict handicapped by their
 uncompromising refusal to listen to l wise counsels of moderation and de-
 lay. They had nothing to lose by waiting to present their case before | the nation through the c6ming con-
 ference, their pretense to tho contrary notwithstanding. The American peo- pie are not blind to the undispused i fact that the workmen in the steel in
 dustry are among the best paid in the country today, and the strike agitatorA
 can hope for scant sympathy with a
 strike precipitated for the sole purpose of destroying the open shop principles , as it is found in the mills of the steel corporation,
 Mir. Gary may or may not have been
 wrong in his refusal to talk with the ! representatives of the unions. but his
 refusal is no justification for the pre- ciptancy of. the unionists in their dec-
 laration of war, especially when that l declaration has far more the appear ance of wounded pride and resentment than a statesmanlike solicitude for me welfare of the workers and the main ,tenarce of justice and fair play as be- i tween the steel corporation and its l employees
