The useful schoolboy, whose knowl-

1t is desired to imply general histori-

about the eagles of Rome, and more

Prof James II. Breasted of Chicago

much farther back when he recently
pointed out that the American eagle

nations that have adopted the eagle:
Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and
Others. But this first eagle was Il bird
of autocracy, and nothing could have
been more opposite to the govern
mental idea of ancient Babylon than
the American Declaration Of Indie
pcndsnce. Free and powerful, the
eagle stands logically for liberty and
strength, but when 1t first became a
national symbol. liberty. rs the word
is now understood, did not exist.

Fun in Trees for Children

What a delight an old apple, cherry
or plum tree is to children. boys or
girls. Particularly a tree that has
been trained tn low, open head that
the youngsters can scramble up in
without much effort.
My heart stands still sometimes
when | see the children swinging in
the plum tree, like the simans some
scientists tell us we have descended
from, and 1t Is the only resemblance
OF an ape | have observed in man
Kind. Surely there must be some re
lation or there would be broken limbs
and broken heads among the focks Of
children that swarm in that glorious
old tree.
Frequent cautioning and plendings
excite no fear, but If there are no
accidents the old plum IS fulfilling a
splendid mission, though there are no
other plum trees sufficiently near for
the bees and insects to fertilize the
flowers, resulting in the tree produc-
ing only one kind of fruit. pleasure
for the children.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Every family is a debating society,
only without parliamentary rules.
A girl could kiss a man in the
dark without realizing it If he was
the right one.
The more excuses a man has for
not having come home the more
thankful he would be for a single
good one.
When woman sees her sons
name get into the newspapers she
knows it won't be very long before
ne is President.
A man has 10 be grandfather
before he can realize that he doesn't
know anything like as much as he
thought he knew when he was a
grandson
The more promises a man can
make the fewer he can keep.
the reason woman ought to
have more rights is she has all there
are already.
Heaps of trouble always coming to
people just because they think
they're too smart for It.
A man who knows baseball is per-
fectly willing to let anybody else
try to know the Constitution.
When smart man Is trying to

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Spelling of Alabama Names

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 read with considerable interest the communication from H. A. Stewart in your issue of February II about the persistent misspelling of the name 'Mussel Shoals by people who ought to know better. I quite agree with him, and whenever mention that place in print always call the attention to the erroneous spelling. Of I knew , where to address MT. Stewart I could send him some literature on the sub ject.)
 There are several other places in Ala bama whose names are or have been misspelled for one reason or another Perhaps the west. case is that of Hart has for-years insisted on spelling Hart sells.' This probably originated in a mere typographical or clerical error and should be corrected forthwith (They used to spell Oneonta "Oneonto," probably for a similar reason, but that was corrected about 10 years ago.) An analogous case, of long standing, is "Salitpa'' for Satilpa, in Clarke coun- ty; and "Atkeison," in the same county, Is presumably meant for Atkinson. Phoenix City is shortened to Phoenix by the same organization, and Alex ander City is simply "Alexarider" on some government maps, but apparently the same treatment has never been ap- piled to Alabama City, Midland City and Pell City (to say nothing of Atlantic City, Jersey City, Kansas City, etc., in other states). Blocton. appears as "Blockton" and Wetumpka "Wetumka" States geological survey, but the post office has not made those mistakes. Respectfully. R. M HARPER. \
