SELF-DEFENSE

She impressed me as being more
naughty than the occasion warranted
and she was particularly distant toward

"She was her husbands stenographer

Teutonic Mind Does Not
Absorb Bolshevism Easily

IT HE German has his faults. Got
u wot, the world has learned a
great deal about his shortcomings
in the past five years, but he is a
hard man to stampede toward radical
ism, whether on his native soil or
transplanted to America.
In Hamilton, o., one of the oldest
cities in the state and within easy
motoring distance of Cincinnati, To-
cal socialist leader, by name, John E.
Steiger, was chloroformed, taken to
woods north of the city and given a
coating of tar and feathers. He was
also warned to leave town within ten
days or suffer worse treatment.
Steiger, who seems to be of German
ancestry himself, and another socilist
distributed circulars attacking the
American government. The tone of
these circulars did not particularly
appeal to Hamiltonians, so they acted
accordingly. This might have nap
pened in any other American city, you
will say. Quite true, but Hamilton
happens to be chock full of Germans.
1t has been for many years popular
place of residence for American clti-
zens Of German descent.
incidentally, the "wave Of bolshev-
ism" that was reported to be sweep
ing over Germany at one time was
speedily checked when German poll
ticians discovered that this modern
cry of "wolf" failed to obtain any
modification of the peace terms. Ger
many was never in any serious danger
from bolshevism, socialism or any
other "ism" that is contrary to estab-
lished law and order. At this moment
there is probably more unrest of a
serious kind in the United States than
there ever was in Germany.

Roads to st, Ciair

to see that the city of Springville had
let contract for improving the main

Alabama's Centennial
and Fitting Pageants

NNTHILE the date of Alabana's
wv statehood centenary is yet
nearly two months off-December Ia
it is none too soon for the commits
sion in charge of the programme to
announce the order Of observance.
On the centennial date there should
be an impressive ceremonial with his
toric addresses at Montgomery; but
there should also be fitting pageants
before that time in the principal
cities of Alabama-Huntsville, Selma,
Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Mobile and
Birmingham.
In December the weather will likely
be winterish and, therefore, not suit
able for outdoor celebrations. No
vember is our ideal Indian summer
month, and that is the time when
historic pageants should be held.
But if pageant schedule is to be
carried out there is no time to be lost.
Several years ago, when w. P. G..
Harding was president of the Bir-
mingham Chamber of Commerce,
resolutions were adopted proposing a
grand exposition here beginning De-
cember 20, 1919, by way Of celebrat-
ing the states centennial The idea
took we'll. The legislature authorized
the creation of a centennial commits
sion and such a commission was duly
|appoinAd by the governor. But OK
positions are expensive affairs. The
time was not ripe for such an event
and nothing came of the scheme.
But now that the centennial date
lis near at hand, something definite,
but inexpensive should be formulated.
Pageants are feasible and should be
Iarranged for before it is too late.

To Raise Endowment

ID BIRMINGHAM friends of the in

"a quiet campaign in the interest Of
the endowment fund for Agnes Scott
college, which is being conducted
throughout the south.
Agnes Scott is one of the south's
greatest institutions and is among
the leading schools of the nation for
young women, but it lacks the en-

its great work. Friends Of the COL

enough fund to enable those in charge
to extend the scope of the schools

day here attended by many of the
best known pastors and educators in
the city and the local campaign was
given enthusiastic Endorsement.

Long-Lost Sailing Ship
Brings Cargo to America

q EAFARING has not lost its
~ glamor, even though the pass
ing of sailing ships and the coming
of fast steamers has made the life of
a sailorman a trifle more monoto-
nous than it was in the old days when
q voyage was a gamble with wind
and wave.
Even the sailing ship survives here
and there, although it is only slow
going freighter. 1t cuts sorry fig
ure when liner sweeps by, lightly

The Andrina was a British sailing
ship. In the '90s the Andrina struck
reef on one of her voyages from
the Clyde and was abandoned.
The other day the Alejandrina
reached the port of New York with a
cargo of wool from Punta Arenas and
marine observers were puzzled to ac-
count for the stranger. There was no
record of her in any available ship

boarding officer. "They dug into
