IF MIGHT WORK

'Tve tried to live a quiet life"
 A certain person said, Who'd lately quarreled with his wife, And from her presence fled. "rve always been as kind to her
 As any man could be, And yet 'tis easy to infer
 She thinks not much of me. ~She nags we morning, noon and night, She scorns my slightest wish If I protest that isn't right,
 have to dodge a dish. Alas alack, my heart is sad.
 I'm filled with woe and shame; Although I wed for good or bad,
 I can't control that dame" Then came a little wizened man,
 A twinkle in his eye. And said, My friend, have a plan
 l think you ought to try. Instead of saying, Yes, my dear
 Let out a fearsome roar; Be rough and rude, forget all fear;
 Bang tables. slam the door. Assume a look both fierce and wild Don't plead with her-command; Eftsoon she may grow sweetly mild And eat out of your hand"

 BoLSHEvIsT SCHOOLS DESCRIBED From the New York Times.
 Particularly interesting is the first hand information in regard to bolshev- ist schools presented by Lieutenant Kliefoth. Had he merely used the courses of study in those schools as laid out in the official programmes- which seems to have been what MT. Bullitt did during the week he passed in the Kremlin Investigating bolshev- ist methods and results-he, too, prob ably would have drawn a rosy picture of education as carried on by the new and nobler Russians-would. that is, if he had taken proposal for achievement Instead, he went to the schools anld found that tho pupils were taught, not Rcd hymns and to draw up complaints to the higher authorities against any teacher old-fashioned enough to ate tempt the maintenance of a little dis cipline and to give a little instruction in reading, arithmetic and geography. And such complaints were needed. even though they came from the kindergar- ten class. and very often tho ''reac- tionary' teacher lost his job.
 Of course, this is no way to report on Russia, at any rate 1t is a way that deeply grieves the people here who want to think, and who therefore think they do think, that bolshevism is both practicable and successful-in Russia They have, as yet some doubt that the United States is ready for it. but they don't want to be made too sure. even of that.
 They have, and of course win mako, an easy answer to tho lieutenants tales he is a professional soldier, a militar- ist, and 1t takes a pacifist to under stand and therefore to admire what is going on now in Petrograd and Moscow.

HUDDLESTON CASE

Tuscaloosa News: Results of the damage suit against the Birmingham Age-HeraId are not to the liking or Alabama publishers and it is not be- Iieved that the verdict will stand the tests of the supreme court. Public of- ficials should not be above criticism Florence Times: Congressman Hud-
 dleston of the Birmingham district,
 who sued The Age-Herald for million
 or more dollars for alleged slanderous publications about him. and who last week was given damages to the amount of $s0,o0o by jury of Blount conuty people, is not member of the Ala
 bama delegation in Congress that the
 people should regard as of the highest
 standard The Athens Democrat puts
 the case in this way: "Congressman
 George Huddleston made speech to
 some of his constituents in Birming-
 ham Sunday afternoon and came as
 near waving the red flag as he safely
 could. He declared himself out of sym
 
 called aliens, declaring they were good
 enough to be brought over here and
 they are good enough to remain here He also employed lot of cheap politics by assuring his audience that he was
 as much the servant of them as he was
 the servant of President Crawford of
 the Tennessee company and President
 Mcqueen of the Sheffield com pany, and dared the latter to try to oust him from his seat Evidently the Birmingham district has nothing to be proud of in it's choice of congressional timber"
 Andalusia Star: Tn the political campaign of 1918 The Birmingham lAge-Herald published some, rather George Huddleston of the Birmingham district and among other things The !Age-Herald cartoonist pictured Hud- dleston as .bolshevik. This so- in censed the congressman that he went into the courts and sued The Age-Her- aid Tor $l,oVV,UUV uaindScS. IuiS cidiHt was finally reduced to s900,00o before the trial was ended. The peculiar thing about this case was that it was not tried in Jefferson county where The Age-Herald is published, and where Huddleston lives, but the suit was brought by Huddleston in Blount county and the trial took place at One onta last week. The jury returned a verdict in behalf if Huddleston for l $sC, ,000 This is the largest sum for which verdict for damages has been awarded in many years in Alabama. and Is perhaps the largest sum that was ever awarded against a newspa- per. The case was appealed to the supreme court by The Age Herald and it will be many months before the case Is finally determined. Our sympa- thies were with the Age-Herald. for the reason that we have felt that Huddleston's course as a member of Congress has been so at variance
 with our idea of what red- -blooded

Marx Garden,. wnIl.inr cane

C---N
 When Mary Garden, the world fla nous prima donna, was in Birmingham last Friday waiting for belated train and having to remain here for nearly whole day, I had the pleasure of spending most of the time with her" said Dolly Dalrymple, land was very much amused over a number of things that happened. In the first place, the curiosity with which people stared at her, and I didn't blame them, for her wonderful $4O.0OO sealskin coat with Russian sable shawl collar. her gorge ous pearls and her wonderful Paris gown made her very striking figure And in addition there was the walking cane which she wore, which attracted a great deal of attention. When asked about her cane, Miss Garden said that 1t was given to her by gallant French soldier during the war-a soldier she met just before the great Chateau Thierry victory, and which she prized beyond words and has always carried since. Miss Garden was urged to remain over for the ball Friday evening. the inducement being held out that General Pershing would be present She very graciously declared she would like to do so. and especially would she enjoy meeting General Pershing. as she had heard that he was a great favorite with the ladies over in France. Some one told General Pershing of the re- mark later and the general. laughing. immediately said: I shah have to tell Miss Garden that she is gossiper.' But 1t was the kind of gossip that was very much to the generals liking, evidently from the way he beazned and smiled oyer it"

People Buying Diamond.

"rhis seems to be 1ewelry Christ mas,'- stated M. Jaffe yesterday, Judging from the amount that we have sold xpr Yuletide presents. There is an unusual demand for all kinds of jewelry this year, and for diamonds particularly. with precious gem has been one of the favorites for those making presents. People no doubt are buying these stones believing that the price on them will trcrease 25 per cent next year and, seeing a good invest ment, are putting their money into this style of present, hoping thereby to give something that will increase in value. Where they buy the stones for themselves they are making the purchases now in order to save the 25 per cent raise that is expected to be placed on diamonds in a few months"

Women want to Work

Tt is surprising the number of young married women who will serve as enumerators when the taking of the census of Uncle Sans big family in this district begins in January" said Mrs. Mary W. Austin, secretary to George M. Cruikshank, census supervisor. T attribute this to the fact that many of them were very ac- tive in war work during the war and now that it is over and there is noth- ing for them to do find 1t hard to re- turn to the old days of parties. the- atres and dances. I have heard many of them express the wish for some work to do, as they want to be busy, and so they jump at anything that will keep them employed, if only for a short time."

* # % Supreme Court Ruling Dashes Hopes of "Wets"

OdSneS hopes or w cts
 lM ESPITE the predictions of liquor @ dealers and consumers of wet goods that John Barleycorn would be given a brief respite, the decision of the United States supreme court, up- holding the validity of wartime pro- hibition, was the only one that could have been reasonably expected
 The supreme court took the com- mon sense view that with the govern ment still exercising the prerogatives it assumed during the war in regard % the railro; Gs, the coal strike, the sugar shortage end other matters, no exception could be made in favor of liquor. If the government can con- trol the distribution of fuel or food stuff as a war measure, it can certainly do the same so far as alco- holic drinks are concerned.
 There was, of course, bitter disap- pointment in many parts of the coun- try where prohibition sentiment is none too strong There were stories of elaborate preparations being made in "wet centers" for rush of holiday business. In Kentucky it was said that trains heavily guarded were be- ing loaded with whisky for shipment out of the state. Residents of dry states were racking their brains to think up some excuse that would en- able them to make business" trip to one of the larger cities where sa- looms were expected to reopen for the holidays.
 The decision of the supreme court is the final blow to John Barleycorn. Verify his race in America is run. Wartime prohibition will continue in force until January Is, when consti- tutional prohibition becomes real ity. After that, whatever liquor busi- ness is done in this country, it will be in the hands of illicit distillers and bootleggers, with the prospect of a heavy mortality list.

 Producer Who Helped Make
 Motion Pictures An, Art
 MMoTIoN picture patrons, who 0V0 number a large percentage of Americas one hundred million people, will rejoice in the safe arrival of David Wark Griffith at Nassau, after having been lost for several days with a party of forty persons on board a small yacht in which they were trav- cling from Miami, Fla, to the Baha- ma Islands.
 MT. Griffith was one of the pioneer producers who endeavored to make something out of motion pictures that would appeal to thoughtful minds. That he realized his ambition is at- tested by long list of successes, along with the fame and fortune which he now enjoys. He has tal- ents of high order. He possesses the gift of imagination and the ability to put his dreams into concrete form.
 The south in particular will always have great respect for MT. Griffith because of his, "The Birth of Ma tion." There are still many motion picture patrons who regard it as the

I had been down in the lower part of the coun- try in my automobile and returning, cut across Cotton avenue at Elm street. I failed to notice warning that the street was being repaired until I had run the machine quite distance. Then it was too late The wheels mired in the mud up to the hubs. It was sticky mud and held on with a tenacity not usually found except in glue. It was useless to try to make the engine pull it out II couldn't be done. waded back through the mud some distance until I met a friend, who offered to hitch his machiffe to mine and pull it out. But first he had to go a mile or so to get chain. While he was gone a heavy truck got stuck in the mud just back of me. When my friend came back he managed to get the truck out, and then both his machiue and the truck took pun at my car
 Finally they got me out but it rained hard throughout tho entire time, and everybody was soaked to the skin when the job was finished. Such friend I call friend in need and friend indeed. 7
