The July number of the Kiwanis Torch, the official publication of the International Kiwanis clubs, has Just been received and it is filled with articles about the Birmingham con vention.
 Roe Fulkerson, whose Andrew, and Imogene" gladden. the hearts of Age Herald readers every morning, is the editor of the Torch and his personal observations on his visit to Birming- ham in the current number will be read here with interest. Just to show the spirit he displays, few para graphs are displayed here:
 ''If one can imagine the real estate operation of Los Angeles. the steel in dustry of Pittshurg, the commerce of Chicago and the courtliness of the old part of New Orleans all combined in one city it would epitomize Birming- ham, The new south" was always to the writer piece of poetic license until he went to this wonderful city of hills dotted with hundreds of homes which cost above six figures. Mines. furnaces, skyscrapers, big stores, streets damned with automobiles and trucks, fine hotels and factories make it the most modern of cities, while all the characteristic hospitality of the old-time south remains to make the stay of the visitor seem a real visit to people who feel that he is really their guest"
 'The hospitality of the hotel com mittee was absolutely embarrassing One international officer gave a big luncheon one day and after arranging for private dining room for abort 25 and menu of his own arranging. found when he started home that he could not pay for his hotel accommo- dations. his meals or even for the party he gave He was the only dis tion.''
 "The word cooperation means something in Birmingham. You do not have to look in the dictionary to find it. As soon as the other clubs in the city found the Kiwanis club was 3o- ing to take over the entire entertain ment of the convention they put up a big protest They insisted on get ting in on it.

SEIZURE OF WHISKY

The arrest of W. T. Marlborough and the seizure of Sl cases of whisky from the Seminole limited a few days ago made by the Birmingham purity squad and several of the countys deputies, devel- oped into sensation Saturday when Judge Pugh ordered Yarbrough released and the whisky returned to him.
 The order was made after a hearing or habeas corpus proceedings, and the ruling of the court was based upon the decision of the United States supreme court, which held that state officials could not interfere with the carrying of liquors by interstate passengers Tar brough introduced evidence to the eff feet that he was en route to Havana Cuba, via Jacksonville, Fla. He had if his possession a passport to Cuba, good until July 20, which can be renewed al intervals of six months before a United States consul for a period of two years

SHERIFF RELEASED

Following the release of Yarbrough he signed paper releasing Sheriff J. c. Eartsfield and his deputies from dam ages from arrest and proceeded to the city hall to take into custody his whisky He rode in an automobile. The whisky was checked out from the basement and Yarbrough had begun loading it when he beheld an automobile filled with de- tectives armed with shotguns and num- Der of motor scouts, who it was rumored proposed to rearrest him should he at tempt to carry the whisky to the station It was left behind.
 Yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his attorneys, Marlborough appeared at the hall in the same car and again demand ed the whisky. When it was loaded he proceeded to the Terminal station. The purity squad and several motorcycle scouts followed him closely for the pur- pose, according to their statements, to arrest him in case the railroad refused to take the whisky, and they expressed themselves as being most emphatically sure that the railroad would refuse to load if

Over 200 people were at the station to watch the proceedings. The order was given to releoad the whisky in the same car from which it was taken a few days ago, and when the officers who had seized the liquor began loading it back

TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

A woman writes me she is thirty
years old, and the same man has
been paying her devoted attention
since she was nineteen, and Yet has
never said word about marriage.
She says everyone thinks they are
engaged, and her plight is so humil-
iating that she fosters that belief,
nevertheless he has taken pains on
two or three occasions to tell her
explicitly that he lis not marry
ing man."
In spite of everything she loves
him devotedly and says; III L give
him up, I shall only be spiting my
self: with little or no difficulty he
could get another girl to waste
youth and opportunity on him as L
have done, and where could 1 look
for companionship now"
There is nothing new about this
situation, this conflict between a
tender-hearted woman with a big
capacity for loving and man who
prefers the little thing he calls his
freedom" to the deep realities of
life. And the man wins, and the
woman suffers, and the world scoffs.
There is really very little advice
to be given to this correspondent;
with pitiless clarity she sums up her
own case: He would have no diff
Guilty in getting another girl to
waste youth and opportunity on
him as 1 have done, and where could
look for companionship now?"
Too many women assume, as the
writer of this letter assumes that
the whole matter rests with the
man. She evidently took this point
of view from the beginning, with
disastrous results to herself. The
man set the pace, and she followed
as best she could; now she realizes
that if she attempts to change
things she may lose the frail hold
she still has over him.
In her place I'd drop him, charge
the time up to experimental profit
and loss, and start life all over
again. Psychologists are agreed, I
believe, that thirty is a woman's
most attractive age. So this young
woman, if she would only permit
herself to realize it, has all the best
years OF life still before her.

ing to a straw in a shipwreck of

The tragic dreariness of one of

Bullets Penetrated
O'Connell Monument
During Easter Fracas

Dublin, July 2. - Examination
has just revealed that in the shoot
ing which took place in the streets
of Dublin Easter week in 1918, the
great O'Connell monument was
penetrated by eight or nine bullets.
A proposal has been made that
the damage could be repaired. The
city engineer, however, has advised
that the bullet holes do not involve
any risk to the monument, are in
visible unless attention is specially
drawn to them, and in the future
will have considerable historical
interest. Accordingly, the corpora
tion has decided that the monument
shall remain as it is.
