CHRISTMAS CURTAILED
IN BIRMINGHAM

Twenty-six persons were in jail or

Inauguration of the law enforcement
campaign here Wednesday night when
Conard A. Austin, state vice and Ii
quor crusader, and squads of special
agents swooped down on a score or
more places suspected of dealing in
liquor, says the Birmingham News.
Only one hotel was included IN the
initial raids, two bell boys having
been arrested early Thursday morn
ing at the Hotel Hillman, following
which Austin announced that 81 will
confer with Solicitor Tate Thursday
afternoon with a view of taking dras-
tic action against this place"
The Hillman was severely arraign-
ed by Mr.. Austin as he enumerated
the places where he said liquor might
be obtained in Birmingham.

Look at the parade.
Here comes another.
Just a good citizen and business
man, stretching himself across the
editorial desk and telling us that his
business the past year has more than
doubled.
And we rejoined with him in his
good fortune and property.
Then he told us the story. He did
not believe in advertising. Formerly
he thought it was all bunc. He had
one of only three places of the same
business in the city. He was well
known and has been doing business
for a number of years. His lines
were pretty well established. Why
should he advertise
Then our ad man persuaded him to
try it. People began to come in the
store and ask about something that
they had seen in the paper. They ask
ed about that Peter Schuttler wagon
especially. New customers names be-
gan to get on his books. The index
of his ledger was not long enough.
Negroes asked about things they had
seen in The Dispatch. Then he woke
up. The Dispatch was really prov
ing itself a trade getter.
Now, of course, all Of it was not
due entirely to advertising. Let's be
fair. But he believes that his ads
brought many a customer to his store
and resulted in maily sale. 1t
brought others there who got ac-
ouainted and sooner or later their
names began to appear on the day
book or the cash register recorded
their sales.
Now he is a regular, for he does not
care for the spasmodic kind.
We are not at liberty to quote his
name so we merely content ourselves
by stating that he is a hardware man
and he sells Peter Schuttler wagons
along with other hardware.
If you guess his tame ask him.
Now, the parade has gone.

What of our boys and young men?
Are they to be surrendered to the
demoralizing and degrading influences
Of the worst period in all Of the
worlds history?
Is no restraining influence to be
thrown around their young lives at
their most impressionable age, when
character and ideals and habits are
beng formed?
Is the future citizenship of Column
bus and other sections to be left to
its own indulgence, unframed and I'M

associations OF our time?
Must they be left to the wiles of
all the excuses of this bad day?
What are we doing to instil hlto the
minds Of the present generation of
young men and boys the right ideals
Of life? Nothing that we know Of.
The home influence is exerted of
course and the church's influence is
thrown around them, and the school
influence is relied upon, but in that
large period Of their daily lives when
they are out Of home and out of the
church, and out Of school, in fact all

Austin stated Thursday that the

at rs cents a drink, he stated, though

KEEP TINE a0ost LAYING.

The strike in that city has brought
an ultimatum from Chicago building
contractors. Either the men come back
to work at once under the rules and
regulations offered or the contractors
quit cold. That is the ultimatum issued
by the contract builders.
1t is probable that the contractors
mean it and that they will do as they
say. The completer the organization Of
the rank and file Of the building trades
the closer the organization of the en-
ploying contractors will naturally be-
come. They, like the men, will have to
stand together in mutual protection.
When a contract has been taken based
on a wage scale 1t means disaster to
the contractor If the scale is to be
raised appreciably while that contract
is being filled. So it is not at all I'M
likely that the contractors will stand
together upon the ultimatum.
Just at present the goose is busy
laying golden eggs. But also just at
present she IS in a very nervous state
Of mind and serious disturbance will
stop her laying operation promptly.
Strikes just at this time are most of I'll
dangerous to labor dependent upon
employment for it's daily and weekly
prosperity. The contractor can lay off.
the owner can delay building but the
man whose wage keeps the home alive
must in these days of enormous cost
of living keep busy.
A remark not uncommonly heard is
like this: II don't know but severe
industrial depression of a few months
would be a good thing. 1t might bring
us to a reasonable ground" Those who
make that sort Of remarks are not es-
pecially fearful Of the effect Of such a
depression upon themselves. They do
not fear money panic. They know
that all of us are living up to our in
comes and that few weeks OF idle
ness would bring very serious contem-
plation and hasten readjustment,
Those are matters that virtually con-
Germ those Of us who depend on en-
ployment. If we scare the goose off the
nest we addle our own eggs first.

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Gilbert White,
IS IT YOURSf
JULY 18, 1920.
IS IT YOURS

Gilbert White, English naturalist,
was born IL the comfortable little VII
lage Of Selborne, a town OF one rarnb-
ling street and a cluster Of quaint 1T
tie cottages in Hampshire. The events
Of his life are not interesting, for they
consist mostly In the winning and
holding of various colleges offices. He
always. lived in his beloved Selborne
and died there when he was I3.
The chief interest lies in the charm
ing diaries he kept Of his daily life
uneventful enough from our modern
point Of view, yet somehow intensely
thrilling to read. His garden. his
walks. his long observations OF birds
and plants, the small happenings OF
each day are all recorded. This day
hath my servant. Thomas, brewed me
some ale," he writes, and again the
house martins which chose an old nest
Matched ten days earlier than those
which built a new one" He records
where the dogs broke into the garden
and ate his gooseberries and keeps
faithful account Of the births OF his
nieces and nephews to the number OF
sixty three! One a year when he went
to Oxford the faithful Thomas recorded
for him all daily observations, temper
allure. weather and the happenings IN
the garden and among the birds.
White kept up voluminous CORE
spondence with all the naturalists OF
his time, including his four brothers
also naturalists, and his sisters SON
Late in life he wrote a natural history
Of his parish, which endeared the place
tn all other scientists.
