SENSATION OF SESSION

The sensation of the dinner was th' statement of Governor O'Neal. In tsl' following terms Governor ONeal sai' Alabamas senators remained sileh whei. the President was being ai' tack ed
 .srhe war would have been fought
 largely in vain if the partfsian
 and sectional opposition in tine
 Senate should be allowed to de-
 feat the league of nations. While
 the question was under debate in
 the Senate and the President sub
 ject to bitter and unjust criticism.
 the Alabama senators failed to join |. their democratic colleagues in his
 defense. but sat silent in their
 seats, the country naturally con-
 struing their silence approval
 of the attacks of the opposition.
 Now that every basis for honest criticism of the league of nations has been removed they owe it to the people they represent the duty
 of stating clearly and whether they
 will favor or oppose the league of nations.
 The people of Alabama are more in- terested in hearing from their senators on the league of nations than on good roads or war reconstruction policies at this critical period of the peace ,coa- ference Alabama should let the world that regardless of party or factional differences we stand united in support of Woodrow Wilson,

 No one in 1914 would have dared to cross the ocean in the machines that the English. now chafing at the weather in Newfoundland, have brought over with them. Indeed such machines fast long range bombersl were unknown then. No one dreamed in 1914 thut in 1919 men could travel 900 miles at over q 100 miles an hour-Hawker's record with the Sop with.

ment of plans for various industries in the district which will be of great value in the future development of the city and surrounding territory
 Owing to the inability during the past year to erect residences as in normal times Tor the reason stated in my last report, the scarcity of houses and apart ments have become more acute and the demand has been greater than the sup ply and this condition has nlso applied to commercial buildings where occupancy was desired promptly. Because of this unprecedented demand for houses already erected and the ready sale at satisfac- tory prices which was found for any residences placed on the market, this company started in February 1919, the construction of number of residences for purchasers at Norwood and Chestnut Hill, realizing the necessity for such new residences and carrying out the long established policy of assisting purchasers of it's property to acquire homes. The materials were purchased by us in whole sale quantity and the construction of the residences undertakes with our own forces, so that the company has been able to make a material saving in cost even with the higher prices of building materials compared with normal times. This construction programme has been TecelNeu WitH slTouS dpproNdi ny pios- pectiVe buyers. has given employment to large number of people and has set an example to other real estate interests in the district and we believe the pros poets for an active market in real estate has never been brigther.

Daring or Caution? Which WiU Win h The
 Transatlantic Race?
By WALDEMAR KAEMPFFERT

The machines that are to hazard the crossing of the Atlantic by air may be roughly divided into two radically differ ent types.
 The first type is a slant plane. rathe: slow as flying speeds go; for at most she can make but go miles an hour in still air. Wings more than 40 yards in span and boat-lihe hull not less than 70 feet long her chief characteristics.
 Such is the type in which the United States navy will attempt the passage. Enormous fuel capacity is the chief reliance of the navigators. If the four Liberty engines with which each Ameri. can craft is equipped were to operate continuously SS0 pounds of gasoline would be consumed in an hour. But it is not likely that all four engines will be used at one time, except in lifting the enor- nous vessel and it's load from the water In the air two engines will probably drive the craft on her way to Europe. In other words. the fuel con assumption will probably be less than JcO pounds an hour. IL is easy to see that to travel from Newfoundland to the Azores Q2S0 miles, only GOO pounds of gasoline wi be re- quired if an average speed of 90 miles an
 
 marrow margin of ton for lubricating oil. the crew, and supplies.
 IL is a very cautious, a very safe game that the Americans are playing. If they
 come down they onn float on the rough est sea in that soanch boat-hull in which
 they are huddled. They ought to he considered good risks by casualty in- surance company. even if the sea lane over which they are to fly is to be pa trnlied ITnital ready to render assistance.
 Your real dare-devils are the British with their planes of the second type Hawker who is to pilot the Sopwith and Raynham who trusts his neck to the Mar tinsyde. Theirs are small machines, with a wing span little more than one-third as great as that of our huge navy sea- planes. The Sopwith is good for at least 100 miles an hour and the Martinsyde for 1l5.
 So far as design goes the English machines are better than ours, Their lines are finer, and because of that they will encounter less headon resistance than our rather numbering craft, with their maze of wind-resisting projections. But the British machines are land fly CTS. If they must light the sea their navigators will be saved only because the ocean will be liberally sprinkled with British and American warships and with hundreds of merchantmen. Hawker and Raynham will dispense with every need less ounce of weight, which means that no more regard for personal safety will be entertained than if the voyage were made over battlefield amid burst shrap mel. .N
 The American may choose any one or three courses to Europe. The English must make Il nonstop flight from New foundland to Great Britain.
 Which system is more likely to sue ceed-the British depending on speed or the Americans on radius of action and fuel-carrying capacity? It would be rash to predict, because the element of luck plays too large a part in these various transatlantic enterprises, and by luck

Ten Years M'%Sn!$er1han
 His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or SO younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: "Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces-when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of weakness-when you notice a lack of your old time pep" and "punch"-in other words, when you feel your vitality s on the wane. you should com
