BiRMINGHAM's GROWTH

Fronm the Montgomery Times
 The remarkable and permanent growth of Alabama's great city is as gratifying. as pleasing to every Ala bamian as anything that could have occurred in the affairs of the state. During the year from January l, 1918. to January 1. 1919, there was a gain in population of 1880. and for the first four months of the present year the gain was 8252 On May l. 1919, the population was 231.577, and 1t is esti- mated that according to the increase in four months this year that the por- ulation by June next will reach 25o.o0o persons. Here's to great and prosper ous Birmingham.

 Accidents of serious nature are hap pening nearly every day as the result of speeding. and something must be done. We would deem it a favor if people would cooperate with us in every way to stop it."

BRITISH AIRSHIP PLANS

told people regarded it as a tour de force of the imagination.
 Does the British prospectus seem in- Hated, the dream of a Colonel Sellers, a promoters romance? Well, the Alt lantic has just been flown by Alcock and Brown, who left St. Johns Satur- day afternoon and dropped down in Galway Sunday morning in timeNto go to church. New York expects thS Brit after the peace, treaty is signed. No one will be surprised to see it cir cling over the city. because everybody knows that the trip across would be no problem in aeronautics. Air mail ser vices are being established in Europe and America as matter of course Passengers are already being carried Aviators fit from New York to Wash ington and return with mail without a hitch. There is a regular route from Cleveland to Chicago in one week 161,- 800 letters were carried. There is service between Maiscoucille and Co., logne, 225 miles, on which record of one hour and 40 minutes has been made. Planes also fly from Paris to Geneva carrying mails For several weeks Chilean pilots have been de- livering postal matter in Santiago and Valparaiso. The London Evening News sends it's papers to the east coast every day by biplane. An offsr of $500O0 has been made by the Australian govern ment for flight by seaplane from England to the commonwealth, the dis tance varying from 15,000 to 17,0OO miles according to the route taken via Asia.
 All this means that the problem of commercial aviation is to be worked out in a practical way, that planes and dirigibles will be as common a sight in the sky as ships are on the sea. in fact that the ships of the air will be more numerous, perhaps very soon. The British have faith in their pro-
 gramme, although it may be stated in what seems like terms of hyperbole, John Bull is hard-headed and business l like. He is set on being master of the air. What is Uncle Sam going to do about it?

Native Birds
 Help the Farmer.

THE importance of protecting our
 A native birds is apparent when we consider that insects cost the Ameri- can people approximately billion dollars a year. A writer in Thrift magazine says, "A recent examina- tion of the stomach of cedar wax wing (cherry bird) revealed 100 can ker worms" In the stomach of a scarlet tanager were found 630 gypsy moth caterpillars.
 Hawks and owls are birds of ill re- rute, yet it is estimated that hawk Tor an owl kills an average of 1000 mice every year. Birds that feed on the seed of weeds, small rodents and insects are friends to the farmer. In their persistent quest of food they aid materially in conserving crops. The wanton destruction of birds is both inhumane and an economic waste. Fortunately many states have recog- nized the value of protecting mans Ifeathered friends and sensible laws have been passed for that purpose. Alabama has. an ably conducted fish and game department, presided over l by John H. Wallace, who is recog- nized as an authority throughout the ccuntry.
 Alabamas game laws are consid- cred model statutes and have been copied in other states. There can be no doubt that they are a great factor in conserving and increasing the states resources.

THE MAN WAS A THIEF

THE MAN WAS A THIEF From Dried Marjoram,' by Amy Lowell ill the Atlantic Monthly. Over the moor the wind blew chill, And cold it blew on the rounded hill With a gibbet starting up from it's crest, The great arm pointing into the west
 Where something hung
 And clanned and swung. Churchyard carrion. caged four square To every wind that furrows the air; A poor, unburied, unquiet thing, The weighted end of a constant swing.
 It changed and tangled,
 But always dangled. Lonely travellers riding by Would check their horses suddenly, As out of the wind arose a cry Hoarse as horn in the we-ther eye
 Of sleet at sea
 Blown desperately. It would rise and fall, and the dissonancs As it struck the shrill of the wind woulo
 lance
 The cold office drops down the spine And turn the blood to clotted brine.
 Then only the hum
 Of the wind would come. Never a sound but rasping heather For minute after minute together. Till once again a wall. long drawn. Would slice the night as though it were sawn. Cieaving through The mist and dew. Routed and olackened in its cage. Anchored in permanent harboraee, Breeding it's worms, with no decent clod To weave 1t an apron of srassy sod.
 But this is no grief:
 The man was a thief.
