Too Much Noise

"A nuisance that should be absted is the noise made by the average street car on some of the suburban lines of this city" said Hardie Brown. q am well aware that such thing as noiseless street car. except when standing still. is far in the future, but surely something could be done to stop the din. clang and jangle of the street cars of today.
 "The other day I rode out to Wylam on the Owenton- Ensley car line, and no rattletrap vehicle ever I rode in created such diabolical din as did that particular street car. I was sit- ting with a well-known citizen of Wylam and while the car was running conversation was absolutely imbos- sible I know that the rolling stock of the street car company was badly run down during the war period, owing to shortage of men and ma terial but at this time something could be done to ameliorate the racket, which is not only disagreeable to the passengers but to the along the route of the car line"

HEARD "DINIEo FIRST

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The intentions of the esteemed Cleve- land Plain Dealer are excellent, but it is very much in error in one detail when it says:
 Sixty years ago this week the death less music of Dixie" with it's wild jargon ot words. was tried for the first time on New York audience.
 The audience was assembled in the little theatre at 472 Broadway. New York, known as Bryant's theatre. which was given over to black-face minis trelsy.
 The author of the song, Dan Emmett, member of Bryants minstrels, had answered the demand for a new walk around" by producing Dixie" He tried it out on his associates 50 years ago today, and their approval being given, it had it's first public rendition on September 19, 1859.
 There are no records to detail it's effect upon the audience. Emmett him self sang the so1.g and his associates joined in the refrain, coming in strong on the Look away, look away"
 That Dixie" song was quickly talk en up there can be no question. In 1860, it was sung through the south ard seems to have been the special melody of the secession gatherings.
 All of these references are interest ing to' Ohioans because Emmett was an Ohio man and Dixie" an Ohio TO- duet, The composer died June 2S, 1904. and lies in the little cemetery in tha town of his birth, Mount Vernon. in this state, beneath handsome monu- ment erected to his memory by ar Ohioan who loved the song and revered the genius of its author
 Emmett gave Dixie" it's first trial in the old Montgomery theatre in this city. He made the first draft of the music on the walls of this theatre. Fur ther confirmation may be found by the Plain Dealer in Al Fields book, Watching Yourself Go By" MT. Field is the Plain Dealers neighbor, living at Columbus

A VALLEY IN CORNWALL

Arthur Symons, Cities and Sea-Coasts
 and Islands"
 Tidings of the outer world come but rarely into the valley except by way of the sky. Once day the old post man comes down from Ruan Minor, and takes the letters back to the post
 office. At times the sound of a siren, like the lowing of a brazen OK, comes paradoxically into the midst of the hot
 inland scents. At times a farm boy
 following the cows, or man sitting on
 the shafts of his cart, passes, whistling; and the tune will be a hymn tune,
 Jesus. lover of my soul" or an air as old as Rule Britannia" taken very slowly. If you hear the peple talking
 to one another in the lane, you will notice that they speak and reply in
 phrases out of the Bible, as in a Ian guage of which they can catch every allusion. They never pass one another
 without stopping to talk. and every one
 of them greets you with the time of the day as you pass.
 All day long the tree before the door of the cottage is filled with music, and at night. when the moon is up, the sky l before the windows is flooded with l strange shapes and motions of light have never seen the moons magic so
 nimbly or so continuously at work as
 upon that space of sky where the l higher ridges of the croft ended. King ! doms and seas of cloud passed before | us under that calm radiance; they
 passed, leaving the sky clear for the
 stars; the polar star stood over the cot
 tage and the Great Bear flung out his paws at the moon.
 l Gold and blue of q sunset sky, ! Bees that buzz with sleepy tune 1 A lowing COW and a crickets cry, Swallows flying across the moon l Swallows flying across the moon. | The trees darken, the fields grow l white;
 1 Day is over, and night comes soon: l The wings are all gone into the | night.

THE UNIVERSITY IN KHAKI

From the Providence Journal.
 TIT was an impressive showing of the
 University in Khaki as the army e now likes to call itself, that was af- forded the people of this city. Satur- day, by the detachment of 25 soldiers from the recruit educational center at Camp Upton. which is touring the coun- try as a publicity feature of the recruit ing drive. With single exception, these trim young regulars were foreign born, and six months ago, when they enlisted, were unacquainted with the English lan- guage. The single American was illit- crate. Including him, 14 nationalities are represented in the detachment. They can all speak. read and write English now, and they gave an exhibition of soldierly training that would challenge the per formance of any group of army veterans
 We do not want aliens ignorant of our language and institutions, or illit- crate natives, in our army, and formerly it would not accept them. But experi- ence under the operation of the selective draft law provided that it is not neces- sary to close the service to men physical- ly and mentally desirable, eager to be soldiers and who might make first-cfass ones, simply because the applicants have not been long enough in the country to born, have not had the advantage or a common school education. The army can teach them rapidly. During the war II had to instruct thousands, ln order 10 conserve valuable man power Features of the work of the development battal- ions in the cantonments have now been standardized, and the men who drilled on Exchange place, Saturday, were grad uates of the first public schoor' to be esta ablished in the regular army. The testimony of one of the instructors at Camp Upton Is that the pupils have fairly "eaten up the opportunity to study, and have become good soldiers while do- ing it.
 "The army is creating melting pot that actually melts," an officer puts it. He remarks. as one of the amazing results of the system, that recruits of this class lose their racial feelings with in a few days after joining the army. "They eat together. sleep together, go to school together and drill together, rub elbows with each other and learn each others good points. and get the Amer ican viewpoint in remarkably short time"
 This unique educational experiment is x-;<1cptlx- v,rox,:pu ;fcaIf opid1y TfS Sa- cial value can hardly be overestimated.

Canyeniences on Farms

The farmers of Alabama are begin ming to realize the fact that modern improvements are needed on the farms as well as in the city, said Karl Pla. towsky, "and many of them are in- stalling small electric plants on their places. Not only are lights furnished for the home but for the barn and various outhouses, and the lantern is no longer needed as it was a few years ago. This also does away with the possibility of overturning the lamp and setting the place on fire, as well as lightens not only the mems work but that of the women. as the churn and washing machine can be operated by the current. This does away with a large amount of work and permits passengers but to the people along the route of the car line"

WALKING AT NIGHT

Amory Hare, in Contemporary Verse My Face is wet with the rain But my heart is warm to the core. For I follow at will again The road that I loved of wore. And the dim trees that beat the dark And the swelling ditches moan But my heart is a singing soaring lark For travel the road alone Alone in the living night Away from the babble of tongues. Alone with the old delight Of the night wind in my lungs And the wet air on my cheeks And the warm blood in my veins Alone with the joy he knows who seeks The thresh of the young spring rains. With the smell of the pelted earth The fearful drip of the trees, Making him dream of the sound of
 mirth
 That comes with the Tlearing breeza Tis rare and wondrous sight To tramp the wet awhile And watch the slow delight Of the suns first pallid smile. And hear the meadows breathe again And see the far woods turn green. Drunk with the glory of wind and rain And the suns warm smile between, have made me yagrant song. For my heart is warm to the core And I'm glad, oh, glad, that the night is
 long. For l travel the road once more. And the dim trees beat the dark. "A And the swelling ditches moan, t With the joy of the singing. soarings lark For travel the road alone!

IN THE DAYS OF THE "FROw"
From the Triton Gazette.

From the Triton OfazetJe.
 eff you don't quit writing about frows and things like that. people will begin to think you are old." said Rev. George F. Clark of Crosland, whose
 q have a few houses on my place yet that are covered with rived boards. When I married, S4 years ago. l moved into a house with a new board roof and when I put new cover on that house recently those old boards were the best part of the roof. I remember once when I was very small helping my father put on a roof where we used hickory pegs to fasten the boards in stead of nails, boring the holes with a gimlet. One peg went through two boards, but they held and the roof was Q good one"
 ''That was better than weighing the roof down with poles." we suggested
 "Yes, but the first house I saw built for negroes after they were freed had the boards weighted down with pine poles. and they held very well. We were not quite as industrious as the man you saw putting garden fence together; instead of boring three holes in post we only bored two and used a fence rail for the bottom lath, let ting it rest on the ground. We had plenty of time in those days and things were not so easy to get. but when we built anything it usually stayed with us"

Millions for Coed
 Roads in Alabama

Fl r HE Craft bill for highway bond
 S issue of twenty-five million dol lars having been adopted by the leg islature will be submitted to the peo- pie for ratification as an amendment to the constitution at the general cleo ton in November, 1920.
 There had been opposition to the measure, but the amendment proposed that the trunk highway should connect every county seat was agreed to, and this change in the original bill, made it's passage easy. There were only two votes against it. Its ratification tnay be considered assured.
 A campaign of education will be in order, of course, but when enthusi- astic advocates of the measure--Judge B. M Allen and hundreds of others are heard, the majority at the polls will be overwhelming.
 The twenty-five million dollars will come, not from the tax payers, but from the automobile license fund, and practically every automobiles is for the bill. First-class highways will re- suit in large saving for the owners of cars and trucks. It is great eco homie measure, for it means saving in gasoline and wear and tear on the au- tos. Even were the license doubled there would be distinct saving to every license payer.
 The money will be expended under the supervision of the state highway commission, the state engineer and federal engineers, for the federal gov ernment is to match, dollar for dollar, the amount appropriated by Alabama.
 Thus we are to have under this pro- vision fifty million dollars forth. of highways. This work will trAnsform

BOLSHEvISM IN ACTION.

From Trailing the Bolsheviki." by Carl Alderman tScribner's).
 In Khabarovsk, while idling through the market one morning, saw a group or men gathered around an old peas ant, man crippled and calloused by hard work. In his twitching hands he held deed to a piece of land near Samara Physically broken down, The re- lated his story, crying like a heart broken child at the same time.
 When the Bolsheviki came to my house they said '.'Who owns this pro- perty?" I said; :" I do'" The crowd was eagre and silent. '"How long have you been here?'" the commissar asked '"Five years" said I. '"Then get out" he said '"You had this long enough ,, and he took my house, my cows. my geese, and my flour and grain. and and he ended in tears while the interested villagers examined his scrap of paper"

AN UNPOPULAR STRIKE

union leaders is censurab1e that in itself does not justify a strike that has no higher motive than the organization of the steel employees on the part of certain labor leaders whose continuance in pow CT depends solely upon their ability to extend their power
 The more conservative leaders of or ganized labor were opposed to the strike. The industrial conferences to be held early in October afforded a forum for the expression of any real grievances
 There was no reason why the strike could not have been deferred until after this conference, as President Wilson urged, and the radical leaders who ordered it were thinking more of themselves than they were about the men. They are play. ing for big stakes in labor-union pol tics and can afford to gamble
 Unless the employees of other industries are willing to make common cause with the steel employees who have gone out.
 the chances of success in this particular strike seem slight and as yet there is no indication that organized labor as a whole is disposed to regard the Fitzpat-
 rick-Foster exploit as anything better
 than dubious speculation.
 No great strike can make much head
 way without public support. and there is
 no public support in this instance. At time when the country needs the full operation of all it's industrial agencies
 the steel workers were called out on an
 issue of mere union recognition, and such
 an issue contains none of the elements
 of popular appeal in a country which
 knows that labor has profted enormous
 ly by the war and is working under con-
 ditions that four years ago would have
 been regarded as too good to be true This is especially the case in the steel indus
 try, and if the strike collapses there will be few mourners outside the coterie of radical leaders who have set out in the spirit of the German general staff to
 establish their claim to domination.

the state. In the meanwhile, the counties will go forward with renewed vigor in building local highways.
 Within the next three years Ala bafna will lead all the states of the south in road improvement.
 Tn the future there will be no cheap or flimsy roads. Every road will be a hard-surfaced road, and will en- nance in value not only every acre of farm land, but every foot of ground in towns and cities.
 The passage of the Craft bill was of far-reaching significance, indeed, and the people of the state may we'll re- joice
