LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

Another reason why we like the new hobbies the girls are wearing is be- cause the blame things make girl waddle like duck wlfen she walks. Give slim princess a four-pound box of candy and two bits worth of pickles when she's suffering from broken heart and the tummy ache that results will soon her make her for get all about her broken heart. We are helpful little cuss and we want to bring joy into the lives of bald headed men. Don't use hair re- storer on your naked conk. Use hair remover. We have noticed that when a woman uses hair remover on her face it produces a luxuriant crop of fuzzy hair.
 Funny how a man has nerve enough to Acadge when he hasn't nerve enough to go to work.
 The fact that man has made fail- ure out of running his own business won't keep him from trying to run yours

 Do not condemn a woman who gets divorced about six times. It may be that eventually Sne VIII get indrriSI and settle down.
 What has become of the old-fash- toned woman who imagined that sine could not do her housework unless she had her hair wadded up into little ball on the back of her head?
 If woman is as finfcky about haio as she is about hat she will always be wanting a new halo when she sets to heaven because the old one isn't fit to wear
 There was time when girl went to fortune teller to find out if ner prospective husband was rich man. But nowadays she goes to Dun or Brad- street for the information. A girl never really realizes that she loves a man until she discovers that some other girl Is after him. The reason why every married man knows that other married men are bossed by their wives is because men judge othera by themselves.

Urge. League of Nation.

T have talked to number of thought ful men and have read great deal about the league of nations, said J. Kirk Moore, land have been convinced that it is the best thing possible for this country, and hope the American people will back up President Wilson to- the limit. feel sure that with all of his study of the subject and inside information that he will make out a good case for it at the bar of pub lie opinion in the United States as well as throughout the world. This land of ours can no longer live unto itself and the sooner we realize that we are in world politics and that the weight of our opin- ion must be heard in the great interna- tional forums the better it will be for our future"

 hear from one of my boys in France here

k * <: Jnsuring the Safety
of the President

1T1aE elaborate precautions taken
 O to guard President Wilson while in Boston show the uncertain temper of the times. It would not be wise to exaggerate the danger that may threaten the President, but on the oth- CT hand it would be foolish to say that it is as safe for him to walk the streets of Washington now as it was in the days when it was not unusual for him to mihgle freely with crowds of shop pers in the capital.
 The wave of anarchy which has swept over Europe has not been felt to the same extent in America, but the anarchistic element of our popula- tion has been extremely active lately, and so long as a single would-be as- sassin is at large it cannot be said that the life of great leader, who may have been marked for death by a crazed fanatic, is secure
 No doubt adequate provisions have been made to guard the President more carefully during his seven days stay in America than he or any other Presi-  dent has ever been guarded before. If Premier Clemenceau's life is precious to humanity, far more precious is the life of President Wilson. A successful attack on him now might cause the collapse of the peace league.

Obligation Owed
 to Negro Soldiers

F7HHE Voice of the People, colored
 U newspaper published in Birming- ham, makes forceful plea for coop eration between the white and colored races to insure fair treatment for the negro soldier. It offers the timely sug- gestion that campaign be carried on by prominent white citizens and leaders among the colored people to counteract unrest and prove to the negro citizens of Birmingham, many of whom are not informed of the true public sentiment in this community, that the negro soldiers conduct in the war is appreciated by the white people of Birmingham.
 It is never the best element of the white population in Birmingham, or anywhere else in the south, that causes trouble between the races. As the Voice of the People correctly says, when the negro soldiers went away to war the entire city was glad to honor them and wish them Godspeed. Now that these men are coming home, there is all the more reason to show them that the part they played in the war, shoulder to shoulder with the white soldiers of Alabama, has not been forgotten.
 It is gratifying to record that pre- dictions that returning negro soldiers,

 Every hotel in Birmingham is turning people away daily because they haven't { enough rooms to accommodate all who apply, and this condition prevails all over the south. I walked the streets of Mem- phis several hours one night last week trying to find a room, and I had the same trouble in other cities. The passen- ger trains are carrying full loads every trip.
 The general public seems to be travel ing more than ever before, but find that a great many soldiers, especially officers, who have been in southern camps, want to locate in the south and make their permanent homes here. They like the cli- mate, and now that they are not tied up in business at their old homes, they are SC eking greater opportunities in this land Of greater promise.

Cables Soldier Job Waits

My son, who recently returned from France, will go back to his old job with the Home Oil Mill at Decatur on March l,' said Frank J. Davis, deputy United States marshal.
 He has been overseas for more than six months and was discharged about two weeks ago from service. While he was overseas the president of the com pany sent him a cable telling him his Job would be ready for him whenever he got back. I think that is the right spirit and the men who have given up their jobs to go and fight for their coun- try deserve much more consideration than they are receiving in many instances, for have heard of a large number of men who have not been given their jobs back although it is stated they had been promised them back

Col Bishops Visit Anticipated

The Community club feels sure that Colonel Bishop will be it's guest Satur- day March 8, if he reaches Birmingham in time,'' said Edwin Armes, president of that organization.
 We have talked with Merritt Craft, under whose direction the great ace and war hero will come to Birmingham for his lecture at the Jefferson theatre. and MT.

 We have great number of returned aviators who are members of the Com munity club and these members are es- pecially desirous of having this man, who is recognized as the most prominent hero of the war, with the club if only for short while.

Suggests Free Use of soap


 "I stood at First avenue and Twentiets street a night or two ago and tried to read the signs on the street cars, but couldn't do it," said T. H. Aldrich T think it would be a good idea for Receiver Lee Bradley to furnish his en- ployes with soap and water and put them to work cleaning off the signs, and then If any soap is left after that job is fin isbed, let them use a little of it on the cars. The cars look like they had not been washed in ages and this is not a very good advertisement for the greatest industrial city in the south. This is not complaint nor a roast for the street rail- way company, nor the receiver, but mere- ly friendly suggestion which hope they will accept and act upon at once"
