From the North American Review.
 M R. H. c. WELLS latest attempt lNN to make God respectable--in his
 modernized version in the Book Of Job-is an odd blend of the method of burlesque extravaganza and the meth cd of spiritual alegory. Though MT traits of genius, in one respect he re- sembles the Oympians like Shakespeare, Whitman, Mark Twain. and other rude levathans, he is constantly perpetrating errors of discretion, gaucheres of humor rough satires, exhuberances of imagina- ton, that any Literary Editor could set right for him between the puffs of a pipe. This is one of the reasons why Mir Wells is not popular nowadays among the best people. His crimes. in- deed are heinous.

LUKE M,LUkE SAYS

A man has to act like he can whip other men before he can bluff them. But itis different with a woman. Isn't it remarkable how many won- derful things you could have invented yourself if some boob hadn't thought of them before you did?
 And what has become of the old- fashioned carpet covered brick that used to hold the front door open in summer?
 Cheer up, There are so many people looking for the best of it that it is a wonder that more of us do not get the worst of it.
 If a man grew bader as he grew wiser most of us would have wonderful fheads of hair.
 You may not know 1t. But the girl
 who acts like kitten to her lover often acts like a cat to her husband When a man has dyspepsia his wife has about as hard a time of it as he has.
 If your wife wants her own way all the time let her have it, and she wil. get contrary and won't want it. Things sure have changed since grandpop was a boy. About the time the modern man should be getting rheumatic he is beginning to get TO- I mantle.

Twenty Millions for
 Musical Foundation

MMULTIMILLIONAIRES M are as 4VU plentiful today as mere mil lionaires were in this country twelve or fifteen years ago. And one of the greatest of our American capitalists A. D. Juilliard, New York financier dying recently, bequeathed twenty million dollars for the establishment of a musical foundation.
 MT. Juilliard was born in Canton, O., and lived a quiet life; but he rose to the front as a money maker early in his career, and before the public had learned much of his career he was one of the richest men in the United States. He never paraded his wealth and only his closest friends knew that he was music lover.
 But he was a great benefactor and his memory will be especially cher ished by the musical element of this country.
 The bequest he made was the larg- est ever left to promote music. The general scope of the Juilliard musical foundation, as stated in the will, is to aid all worthy students of music in securing complete and adequate mu-

Many Ex-Service Men Seek Outdoor Jobs

1.-THE New York unemployment U committee for soldiers, sailors and marines has adopted, according to the New York Sun, new method of finding out just what sort of work its 'clients" desire.
 It is conducting a series of cinema shows where on the screen various opponents of skilled labor are shown plying their trades. It was planned to have the ex-service men who had been engaged in clerical work before the war or who pursued similar sedentary> occupations, see the films and thus decide for themselves what outdoor trade they would prefer to "ante- -bellum" means of livelihood.
 Alfred L. Smith, executive secre- tary of the committee, says that a considerable number of the former service men have made definite de- cision not to return to indoor work. Inasmuch as there is an oversupply of clerks already and a growing de- mand for skilled labor, the general decision is most gratifying.
 ''The great trouble lies in the fact that majority of the men so deter mined are unskilled at the trades needing men," said Secretary Smith. "This difficulty is to be overcome by apprenticing the unskilled. It is pointed out to those who elect to take up trades as novices, that while the pay at first may not be as good as they were receiving as clerks, it will be far better than their former wage after they have mastered their new vacations.
 "The committee made public figures showing that it costs about s5.78 to obtain job for one of it's clients, and that only in exceptional cases is a man sent to a place paying less than SIS week to start with"

Memorial Fund
 Must Be Raised

0NHE Alabama memorial campaign
 J started off well, but the 1unu is far short of the amount sought. Only six counties have subscribed their quotas. Jefferson is not one of them, but the canvassing will continue until this county's quota is reached.
 Wednesday brought good results, but yesterday showed poor returns. What is needed is strenuous drive in every backward county. Most cities are thoroughly organized and many rural communities are doing con- mendable work. But in order for the state to reach the goal every town, city and rural precinct must be keyed up and speeded up, Every county should be on it's mettle.
 Certainly this campaign should ap- peal to all Alabamains. No one should fail to contribute something. Let's have stirring drive of wartime patriotic earnestness and the enter prise, one of the worthiest yet under taken, will go well over the top.

Sees Big Future For Birmingham

The longer l remain here, the more Birmingham" said John Venger, whose home town is Buffalo, N. Y, but who has travelled extensively through the south with view of possibly locat- ing in Dixie land.
 'I paid short visit to Birmingham last year, and my present sojourn has covered many weeks. I marvel at Bir- mingham's rapid strides.
 Atlanta is an enterprising city, but Birmingham will easily outstrip it in population and in wealth. I believe it will outstrip even New Orleans, not in the near future. because the Cres- cent City has a big start and is won- derfully progressive. but, in say 20 mingham ahead of the southern me- tropolis.
 The Birmingham district has the raw material that no other part of the south has. It is going forward by leaps and bounds. In the time I have been here I can see solid growth. Br- mingham not only has the advantage of being the center of coal, iron and steel industries, but it is now strong in the jobbing trade and in commerce generally.
 Birmingham is handsomely built uncommonly beautiful. All visitors can but be delighted with it, for it Is easily the finest city in the south

 If party had voice. to quote an uIkind rhyme, what mortal would be Bugg by choice?" And yet the pioneer Bugg was man of substance, who dwelt in a manse house from which he derived his name The first Coward was no pol troon, but a cowherd. who tended his cattle; just as the first Rascal was no knave, but 8 man who probably bore some resemblance to lean stag or ras- cal; and the original Shocks hailed from Sevenoaks, whose corrupted name he bore.
 Hobson, name at which some affect to scoff, is as venerable as it is respect able, for we read of a Lewrie Robbesune, Suffolk landowner, in the days of Ed ward the Confessor; and the Buggins and Boggs if they did not come over with the Conqueror. at least came over with some of his race.
 Gotobed is no name to smile at, for it is variant of Cuthbert, which means war bright" and the first Gotobed was probably warrior of fame. Miggs is synonym for strength. and Wild goose signifies ''resolute hostage" Devil is merely De Vile of honorable French ancestry. and bears no relationship to Hellman. whose ancestor was Heller. or roofmaker. and probably good Chris tian.
