PREPAREDNESS BY CHRISTENING

From the New York Herald
 If all the little John Pershing Does and John Pershing Roes are properly inspired when they grow to manhood by the illustrious example of the man whose name they bear, the United States will
 not find itself in condition of unpre-
 paredness if the clarion call of war should sound a generation hence. The home service section of the American Red Cross reports that large propor-
 tion of the sons born to the wives Of soldiers in this city,. and there are scores or them, have been christened for the general under whom their fathers fought
 in France, and doubtless the same holds
 true for the nation.
 Principles recognized only by the few
 have had much to do with the develop ment of the complicated system of ap-
 pellations by which men and women gre distinguished the civilized world over,
 and here one of them appears again. It
 is that of bestowing upon child name which shall be commemorative or sug- gestve of some event contemporaeous with his birth Among the American h.
 dians it usually related to some happen ing nthe elements or some unusual rea- ture of nature, but among civilized races it is seen in the use of the name of man who has made himself the idol Of the people, and whom parents would
 have their children take as their ideal. There have been and are more George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Theo- dore Roosevelt Does and Roes, black and white, than ever could or can hope to attain the presidency, but without doubt many of them have done their utmost to
 bear such honored names with the dig
 nity befitting them and so have been the
 better citizens. So may and will it be with those who will write the initials "J P.'' before their surnames.
 There is one disadvantage, however, in being named for famous man. Along about the year 20O0 some jocular strip ling, meeting John Pershing Doe. will
 turn his head aside and remark: Let me sect The great war ended in 1919, didn't it? Well, that fellow must
 be more than 80 years old.'' Still the name will more than have its compensa- tions despite the fact that it will give away a mans age as effectualy as do the songs that he sings in his reminiscent hours.

Let's Paint Up and
 Clean Up Generally

1IS1 VERY city should have an annual
 1 paint brush campaign. March IS good time to begin, but April is the regulation time in this part of the country.
 Let's make the coming month nota- ble for its fresh paint decoration. Every frame building should not only be painted annually, but the quality of the paint should be of the best. But if a year is allowed to pass by without the needed attention the al ternate year should witness a great shining up."
 Paint not only heightens the esthetic attractiveness of a home, but it is a wonderful preservative. No econ omy is more obvious.
 Within the next few weeks the house painter should be kept at work overtime. If this be the rule, Bir- by the early summer, will seem in the pink of condition; espe- cially if accompanying paint time" we have a general cleanup campaign.
 Now is the time for rejuvenation. Let's get to it without further delay.

GLOOM IN PARIS

statesmen are waiting for those whcnlI they regard as dillettante diplomats to fade away, the revolutionary element i; rampant and threatens to overwhelm both the dreamers and the procrastinators in one crimson tidal wave.
 For this danger, the European leaders cannot put all the blame on the Presi. dent. He is acting according to his highest lights. He thinks he is doin.y the best possible thing. If he is not 1t is the duty and the function of those who think he is imperiling the world to tel him so plainly, to tell the nations, and to institute a positive and forceful drive for safe and sane course. There is no excuse for paralysis of effort in Paris. Until the gloom gives birth to new and inspired activity, it is merely cyn- ical and morbid expression of all 'rounl weakness.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-29

6NlHE special correspondent of The
 Sun in Paris tells us this morning
 S that bolshevism is "grinning deri- sively at the peace conference and Tit is almost impossible to depict the gloom envelQping the conference" Had we not been told of the gloom we should have inferred it. The situation is one of great danger and the responsible men in Paris must know it.
 By far the most dangerous phase IS the failure of the crisis to arouse any leadership or stimulate and pro- Sramme or stemming the advance Of barbarism. In the long run the men who control the situation are MT. Lloyd George and Premier Clemen- ceau Granted President Wilson's enormous personal prestige. still these two are majority in the ruling triumvirate. and view the thing how we will, it is impossible not to see that they have the last word
 It is quite certain that they are in favor of an immediate conclusion of peace; their judgment is all for post. poning mere idealsms and especially the controversial one of the league constitution until peace is made ana the red cloud of fire and Mood is dis pelled. This has been their view Tor sometime. But they have found no way of impressing it on the confer ence. Their fear of offending Ames. ica with it's man power and it's Ions purse has fettered their opposition to what they regard as visionary pol icv leading down to disaster.
 If almost looks as if they had failed to see that they really have America it's people-on their side. Apparently the only plan they have been able to devise is to slip back into the silences and allow President Wilson, ably aideG and abetted by Lord Robert Cecil to wear himself and his theory out Their expectation. apparently, is that as he elo- ouently and devotedly beats against the rocks of impossibility, he must pres sently sink into exhausted inconcluslve- ness. whereupon they will step forward and settle, things with a delft and op- perfume dictation.
 This is an old, old diplomatic plan. If works very well when there is no collateral problem, no oblique peril com plicating the situation But 1t needs time and while the wise professional

A CITY BUILT IN A PALACE

shutters flare out like post-impres- sionstic daubs of gaudy color against the mellowed tints of ancient stone columns and granite pillars. Crumb- ling walls that surrounded the city have been built into those dwellings, and stores that cluster along both sides of the old boundary
 "Spalato has been called city o the dead But it is intensely alive, tingling memories and pulsating with the business hustle of what was, be- fore the war, the most important trade center of the Dalmatian coast. The people then offered contrasts as vivi4 as the buildings. Turban and fez, cap and hat, gave a hint of many types. The dominant element of resident pop ulation is Serbo- Croatian.
 'Incongruous but picturesque is ta,s modern moving picture projected among the ruins of what has been call ed the 'vastest and foblest dwelling which ever arose at the bidding of single man Remembered chiefly as despot and prosecutor. Diacletian'5 reign was noteworthy for some gov ernmental experiments usually consld- cred ultra modern. He adopted price fixing for needful commodities, aboi- ished inheritance taxes swung a miGa ty impetrial stick against trusts and graft, and acted as a sort of sublimat- ed trade booster for the empire that f.e evolved from a republic.
 Had Diocletian done nothing else posterity would be grateful for his country home. Its four noble gates two still standing. it's cathedral, once the mausoleum. its temple of Jupiter, supposed to have been a private chapel, are priceless treasures for the student of architecture. The palace discloses the earliest known example of arches planted directly on the capital of tha columns. Tn museum along the east ern wall is collection of prized relics, inscriptions, sculptures, fragments of vases, glass, terra cotta, metals and gems, recovered during years of perss- vering excavation, though most of them came from Salona and not from the palace.
 ''Salona was a principal port in Roman times as Spalato is in the twen- tieth century. Before the war Aus trian Lloyd steamers stopped there, railroads brought in many tourists and the city did thriving trade in wines and oils. Its location, between the Brazza and Salona gulfs, is advanta- geous Its population is about 3oss4r."

Creamery Industry
 Advancing Rapidly

N LABAMA is leading in many E agricultural pursuits. In di- versified crop production it is mak- ing substantial strides and one of its most noteworthy advances is in the creamery industry. It should have been so years ago, but only recently have the creamery interests been waking up.
 In 1918 the college creamery at Auburn handled 32,334 pounds of butter, for which it paid the farmers in the immediate territory $15,196.
 The average price paid for butter for each month in 1918, according to Director J. F. Duggar of the exten- sion service, was 49.5 cents. In 1919 the prices for two months-January and February-were 62.5 cents and 48.2 cents, respectively.
 While marked progress has been made in dairying in Alabama the in dustry is still far away from it's normal development. In creamery products, Mississippi is ahead of all the cotton belt states. There is no excuse for Alabama being behind.
 In Professor Duggar's recent circu- lar stressing the work done by the Auburn creamery it is stated: "This dairy is in the immediate charge of w. H. Eaton, assistant dairy hus- bandman, who sends out interesting and valuable dairy information to the patrons with every cream check each month. Other creameries in the state could well afford to do likewise, there by increasing the farmers store of reliable dairy information"

Large Committee Should
 Welcome 167th Infantry

V1T'HE suggestion that 800 Alabama 0 citizens be sent to New York as the states official welcoming com mittee when the 167th infantry ar rives from France is good one. No time should be lost in perfecting all arrangements to have a representa- tive committee present when our Ala bama heroes disembark.
 A mere handful of delegates won't do. They would be lost in the throngs who meet returning transports. But 500 prominent people from Alabama would not go unnoticed and they would serve by their numbers and their en- thusiasm to show the Alabama sol diers the kind of reception they will receive by the people of the state wait ing at home to do them honor.
 Plans are being worked out for making the return of Alabama's heroes perhaps the most notable occasion in the stares history. At any rate, Bir- mingham will eclipse all her previous efforts as a hostess and this city, where the 167th infantry will parade before being demobilized, will do her utmost to prove to the men who fought so gloriously in France that their sac rifices and their heroism will never be forgotten.
 First of all, however, comes the re- ception in New York. It will be an easy matter to get 500 citizens from

 'I had it at the corner of the First National Bank building with it's face in the path of the driving storm, and it just got drowned out. I gave it up and boarded a car. I told my experience to a friend, and when I got to the part of abandoning my car, he asked me if I wasn't afraid some one would steal it? I replied that if they could get it going it was more than I could do and they would be welcome to it''

Church Views Vary
 According to Individuals

M1o matter how orthodoxy stands, 4 N as a general proposition the Rev. Dr. A. J. Dicl1inson's free lance views seem to have stirred the Chris tian world hereabouts to it's depths. Dr. Dickinson has been one of the stanchest of the Baptist ministers, and the Baptist denomination has been stanch as stanch could be in it's ad- herence to old-time orthodoxy.
 But Christians of whatever faith are allowed free expression in these days. The orthodox and the heterodox are having their say. Laymen as well as preachers are forming opinions and are asserting themselves.
 The Age-Herald is the peoples forum and views pro and con will be duly recorded.
