Increasing Interest In
 Salvation Army Drive.

6NH Salvation Army home service
 0 campaign is becoming more animated as the end of the week ap- breaches, but Jefferson county is yet far from the goal.
 An intensive drive today should bring large results, but if the coun- tvs quota of one hundred and ten thousand dollars is not completed by tomorrow night the campaign should be extended into next week. Surely this prosperous community is not go- ing to fall short of it's plain duty in aiding in a generous way so worthy an institution as the Salvation Army.
 Contributions in small amounts are gratefully received. If everybody who lis able to give something were to come forward with their donations a large total would be realized; but fifty and a hundred dollar contributions should be found in numbers sufficient to put Jefferson county we'll over the top.
 Let all the big-hearted people here abouts bestir themselves and the cam- paign will end with a characteristic a chievemant

 A Birmingham Chamber of Com merce with 2000 members would have an estimated income of $50,000, more than double the present income, but that would not put us in the class of such a city as Toledo, Ohio, which con- tributes $100,0O0 year to it's Cham her of Commerce.

THE SALVATION LAssIEs.

By Nita Guernsey Symonds. You've seen them, I know, as you pass
 two and fro,
 The Lassies with bonnets of blue; They're doing the work that most of
 us shirk, And bravely they're doing it. too. They seek out the people that no ono
 else wants
 Their Master in each face they see 'Insomuch as ye did it to one of these
 souls,
 The same ye have done unto Me" And when our own soldierss went over To fight for the loved ones left here, Oh, the Lassfes went too. to cook. bake,
 and brew, S With never doubt or fear. So now they are asking your help In
 their drive, -l So that others they'll help if they
 can, For Down. but not out" is their sio- gan to all- Their message from God unto mAa!

Cold Weather in May.

'We all have short memories when it comes to the weather,' said David J. Da- wis. Everyone is saying, Did you ever see such weather in May?' as if we had never had cold May before. Now I just in May 1912 we were experiencing just such a cold wave as is hitting us at present. However this does not pacify the man who has to go down and start the furnace or scrap around to make a grate fire. He just naturally resents having to do it in the month of May"

ALMOST THE SPEED LIMIT.
 

From Harper's Monthly.
 "At Chattanooga" said a veteran of the Civil war; one of the men in my command left early in the action and no one saw him till after the bat tie, when he appeared in camp un- wounded and unabashed. Some of the boys accused him of running away. but he wouldn't admit it.
 "I only retreated in, good order.' he declared.
 "I heard of the matter, and few days later asked him if he had any idea how fast he had .retreated'
 "'Well I'll tell you. Cap'n,' he said. If had been at home and going after the doctor, folks that saw he passin' would have thought my wife was right iolx

1T never cease to be surprised at the hospitality of the south," said Captain R. w: Hemphill. Tt is just one thing after the other am sure that the army men from the north and the west and the east will join me in testifying to the courtesy of the southerners. Take, for ex- ample, the dance rendered by the Civitan club to the visiting Kiwanisites at the Country club.

HAWKER.

From the Atlanta Journal
 He ought to have made it. He was
 entitled to it. Americans wanted their own men first, but they were kind
 of pulling' for Harry Hawker, that
 gray-haired Australian mechanician
 who had the courage to attempt des-
 perate chance The Americans were
 buttressed by all the facilities at the
 disposal of their navy; destroyers sta
 toned every hundred miles; red flares
 and green flares radiograms and
 flashlights; concentrated foods ai.d
 first-aid kits; pontoons attached to the
 bottom of their machines to keep them from sinking; three or four motors to drive every plane. Hawker waited until they were off. until at least one was halfway across. And then he cut loose on his intrepid flight. No destroyers to pick him up. No flares or flashlight to guide his course. No radio to summon help. No landing gear for alighting on earth, no pom toons for alighting on sea. No triple motor to keep him going. Nothing but nerve: nothing but wings; nothing but an engine and a tank full of gas. | Nothing but the stars to guide him at night as he drove his way eastward across the dark waters. Yet on and on he went, a hundred miles, a thou | sand miles perhaps, till the sun came i up and he looked for his goal. Prob ably he thought of his wife and chil- ] dren as he strained his eyes to catch | a far glimpse of Ireland's shore And 1 then the needle showed him that his ] fuel was gone, that he could not make | 1t, that he must come down to the sur | face of the sea and swim little while
 and surrender at last to it's icy en,- 1 brace. He ought to have made it. He was entitled to it. When glory goes to the one whose feet first touch ths
 sands. let all remember the we'll named Australian, the dauntles' Hawk who drove OR his nerve wit. nothing to guide him but the star

the best minds of the world. We should be thinking of education as a means of repairing the wastage that has taken place. We should also be
 thinking of education as means of
 checking the extravagant and eccen-
 tric social and political theories which are sure to show themselves. Educa- tors must not only teach, but they
 must preach the necessity of learning. But what changes should be made in the regular system of schools to make them helpful in meeting the new con- ditions? The standards of industry of the pupils and the standards of efficiency of the teachers should be raised. There is no need of a whole sale change in the curriculum, but the subjects that are being taught should be taught more effectively. Not many articles that have ap- Ipeared of late have been so strong in their appeal for "social justice" from ! the educators viewpoint or so ami mating as this from the pen of Dr. Baker. It is gripping from beginning to end It can be had for the asking by addressing the Carnegie institute lat Pittsburg. It should be widely read at this time of the year when education is fore most in the minds of all thoughtful men.

The comparison reflects little credit on Birmingham, one of the richest and most prosper ous cities of the country, with Chamber of Commerce whose annual income for the past three years has been less than 9 cents per capita of population. The yearly income of the local chamber during this period was less than $2O,O00.

F 4 Y Daring Exploit Ends in Failure.

SOMEWHERE in the Atlantic liar 0 " Hawker and Commander Grieves gave up their lives in the attempt to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland. Waving brief farewell to his disappointed rival, Raynham, Hawker drove his tiny plane straight out to sea. In a few minutes it was lost to sight, and since then not a trace has been found of the two brave airmen who undertook the most peril ous feat ever attempted.
 The mystery of their fate may never be solved. Whether they fell into the sea shortly after the flight began or perished. when success was almost in their grasp, no one knows. They may have died quickly, or their agony may have been prolonged many hours.
 The imagination is appalled, by the utter loneliness of the two men, witt the restless waters waiting below tc engulf them, treacherous winds buff feting their plane and the realizatio. that no aid could reach them iron land, sea or air if an accident hap pened.
 They failed. We do not know how near they came to the goal, but as long as. reckless bravery thrills tho hearts of men Hawker and Grieves will be remembered.
