NAMES AND THINGS
From the Chicago News.

From tho Chicago News. In an address at Canton. O.. the other day an earnest American sorrowfully as- serted that the covenant of the league of nations did not mention or recognize God.
 That depends on whether one is chiefly concerned with names or with things. In its primary purpose, at least, the
 covenant of the league of nations comes nearer recognizing God than anything
 that has been done by the nations since the world began.

Cause of Delay in
 Paris Proceedings

1T AST nights Associated Press @ dispatches from Paris cleared up some of the gloom that has been raised for the past week or ten days by special correspondents who have grown restless because news is not developing more rapidly around the conference table.
 Frances claims along the German front and her wish for precautions for the future are not entirely reconcil- able with President Wilson's self, determination edict or with certain of the fourteen points upon which the armistice was based France wants to be absolutely sure that she shall never again be subjected to such an inva- sion as that of 1914. There are indi- cations that in order to insure this, France feels that it is necessary for her to control absolutely all the ter ritory west of the Rhine
 But the territory involved is pure- ly German and is inhabited entirely by Germans. It is not at all parallel case with Alsace and Lorraine. Its control by France will involve di- rect violation of the principle of self determination. And yet the whole civilized world sympathizes with France in her wish to be relieved of future menace from the east.
 It is this difficult tangle which is causing the new delay at Paris and which is causing some of the core spondents to be unduly pessifnistic Most of the other matters have ap.

Alabama Faces Era
 Of Road Development

ID BIRMINGHAM welcomes the dele W gates to the Alabama Highway improvement association, now holding it's first meeting in this city. The counties of Alabama are well repre- sented. The intelligent discussion of good roads by experts should bring out practical plans for improving and extending the states highways.
 There is no problem more closely related to the nations commercial and industrial life than good roads. The fact that Alabama has been backward in making the most of its opportuni- ties should spur all public-spirited cit izens of the state to make up for lost time. Substantial federal aid can be obtained if Alabama will do it's part.
 Another lesson that we have been slow to learn is that it is waste of time and money to build roads un- less they are maintained. A good road is not good road long unless it is kept in repair.
 The entire state is keenly interested in better roads. The work has hardly begun, yet with the right sort of CO., operation Alabama will soon be able to take it's rightful place among the pro gressive states of the union which have found well-paved highways, con- meeting principal towns and cities, one 1 of the best, if not the best, investment commonwealth can make. Chicagos heavy 'wet" vote doesn't alarm the "drys" since they have long ago proved to their entire satisfaction that every large city would be sodom l or Gomorrah if left to its own de- vices.

Athletics at University

Mass athletics is proving a wonderful thing at the state university" said Dr. James s. Thomas.
 Every afternoon the big campus is fairly covered with boys engaged in some kind of athletics. Our athletics now are very democratic, nearly every student taking part in some form or another. It will mean much to the health of the students.
 'The university is now on a prewar basis, and is doing fine in every depart ment. There is a lot of pep, as usual, and the students seem to be working hard. Like all other colleges, the uni- versity suffered from war conditions, but we now have our enrolment up to stand ard and the school is showing rapid progress"

Arthur Crowder.s Anniversary

OTOWucfn
 Thursday. April 8, marked the third anniversary of my return to my olo home, Birmingham. to live, after an ao- sence of many years in Jackson Miss'' said Arthur c. Crowder, president Of the Alabama War Savings Stamps, yester- day. T can truthfully say that I have never spent three happier years and have never had a more cordial reception any where than that given me by Birming- ham people. Of course there were many changes when got back here, but these are adjusting themselves now as I am getting more familiar again with the big city and its conditions. By the way, Bir- mingham wasn't large enough when left here to secure grand opera, and l am delighted to know that now it is suf- ficiently large as well as sufficiently ap- preciative to enjoy three performances by the Creatore Grand opera company, which opens here this evening The bringing of this big opera company here by one of our progressive theatrical men, Frank Hammond, is to be highly cm- mended, for such things tend toward the and refinement of any com munity, and am heartily delighted over the engagement here.'

AN ACTIVE LIVER
PREVENTS DISEASE

The healthy human body offers
little opportunity to the ravages of
germs of disease. But when the nor
NAL functions are lacking-the liver
inactive-the bowels costive-and the
digestion imperfect-then most bac-
terra can thrive sufficiently to become
"a menace to the health.
This is the reason that people who
use TODD'S LAXANODINE have all
been immune to influenza, typhoid
and dysentery, even when several
members of the same family has been
stricken-because it keeps the liver,
stomach and bowels in strong
healthy active condition, and this so
builds and fortifies the system that
the germs of disease cannot thrive.
TODD'S LaXanodine is the best
medicine for sick headache, relieves
in 80 minutes, and for biliousness,
fevers jaundice, constipation, indi-
gestion, and all soreness and swelling
of the liver, stomach and bowels.
