and started 90 take out the machine
owned by Max Bruer, a tobacco dealer
OF No. 305 Market street As he was
showing this car out the doorway, the

gallons Of gasoline in the front part OF
the building was surrounded by the
flames for hours, but It failed TO ex-
plOde. The flremen were unable 10 cX-
tingulsh the flames on account Of the
in1ammable material but they poured
tons Of water I'm the structure and af-
ter three hours work drowned The fire
out.
When daylight arrived it was found
that every car in the structure was a
total wreck. Some of the ears were
minus hoods and not one machine had
a good tire left on The wheels.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE A.E.F.

how frll of light-winged. frolicking glad ness
 Had someone told them to do it be- fore they came? Or did the great, grave shadow that always brooded above them swing low to touch their souls? No one knew. But in instant, without ap- parent cause, games and romping stopped, laughter hushed and all the frail little black-robed creatures, sombre-faced. poised motionless. as together their way ering voices rose in the Marseillaise.
 At the very first notes every soldier saluted. And while those babies sang all through their nations chant of sacrifice, our boys stood straight and still and rev. erent, the tears. unnoticed, wet on many a'~cheek.
 That was a happy Christmas at MaiIly; these trench-mortar boys and the girls with them doing their best to make it so. And if for the girls, it all meant harder physical work than ever they had dreamed of tefore, they reioiced none the less because of it

Merging of We'll Known
 Dailies in Many Cities

TNAILY journals in four prominent " cities have been merged this week. according to Editor and Pub fisher, the leading newspaper trade journal, as the result of news print shortage and the increasing cost of production.
 The papers just consolidated are the New York Staats-Zeitung and the Herold, the Ithaca (N Y.) Jour nal and News, the Piqua (Ohio) Call, the Press and the Dispatch, and the White Plains (N Yf Reporter Argus and the Daily News.
 More and more, it seems, the cost of production and the news print shortage grow so acute that mergers are forced and "some newspapers are just dropped out of existence"

 Review.
 I0HldE children played large part. in
 our army's first Christmas in
 France. At the artillery camp at Mailly, for example, it was top sergeant who sa id ten days or so before the day:
 Say. fellows. these poor little village kids haven't hal much Christmas in their lives, have them now? What do you say we take up a collection and see what we can do?''
 The idea took in flash. And they e;d so well, giving as they always gave, with both hands, that the total sum was amazing.
 Why" sor.eone hazarded, "I reckon we could hand those little shavers pretty near anything trey want, with all this wad to spend.'
 Again the idea caught Deputations to the village and the environs of the camp discovered some 200 children available TOT the occasion-discovered, too. by cautious inquiry, the eondest dream of each child. And at last, when the list was complete the commanding officer sent messenger to Paris to buy the stuff.
 Upon that messengers shoulders rested a grave responsibility. Each soldier oy this time was personally interested III some particular child. Should that child hope he unfulfilled, the messenger wou.u have earned against his name an ominous mark. And he must have realized ms peril. poor nan, for he brought oacN from his marketing such range or foo- jects, from suits of clothes to live mon keys. as would 4have made Santa claus biggest sleighload look like bargain counter the hour after the rush.
 Then the boys cut a great tree ana set it up in the open air before their officer s quarter. and dressed 1t with the we'ro green spiders and frogs and the snappsrs and ccfored garlands and confetti that Paris had happily sent. And they put their real gifts in readiness. And they fixed the great occasion for Christmas day at o'clock.
 | r.adv assembled, standing in the snow in d circle gazing up at the marvel with ave-tilled eyes. Scarcely did they whisper, scarcely move. quietly staring, little white-faced iuag ges holding each others hands for courage, waiting, patient in the snow.
 At last came the hour. and suddenly all those flocking soldiers-those big. big men that snatcked up the little ones and rode them on broad shoulders; that kissed them all and squeezed them and tossed them in the air: that played jolly. word- less games with the boys, and with the girls; were so kind and so gentle and so funny that everyone must be happy and laugh-and then they gave the en- chanted gifts.

New Southern Magazine
 Launched in New Orleans
SOUTHERNER, "maga.

THE S0UTHERNER, a ''maga-
 4 zine of the new south" has made its appearance in New Orleans. It is edi ] by Jcan Mcclure ahd Henry 3te iiosr wno are 3mb- tious to e. sh maga inc in the south tha. gl ba s5song enough to compete VI als of the north and east. sirs isue is credit able and shows the zea of its found- CTS to mako eteie venture d success.
 Pointing ou> tE4G the south has not for helf century had a maga- zine,' the ed:sors appeal for co-opara- tion and promise in return for the worthwhile contributions of southern writers not iy to pay them, but to provide a nsJdm for their express sion in w the south may rake pride.
 Many magazine has been launched in the southern states and died prema slrely, but none has ever been able 10 hold it's own against periodicals published in other parts of the country, even in the central west and the far yyasf The Southarn Womans Niaaa1n one of the bess of those recently started, is now published in St Los:is Perhaps the mistake made by all these southern magazines was that of being too sec tional.
 Stories about the old south, trib- utes in prose and poetry to Confeder- ate heroes and other reading naster of this nature, however well written it may be, cannot satisfy the de- mands of the present-day south, which regards itself as much Amer isa as any other section of the coun- try. What southern people want in magazine is one that informs and entertains in general way without harping on one subject-the Civil war
 If the Southerner can appeal TO a wide circle of readers it will succeed. That the south has plenty of literary talent to make great magazine. is amply proved by the contributions of southern authors to the lealing magazines of America.

Amendments Should
 Have Big Majorities

THE two amendments to the con-
 0 stitution for ratification, one on December 29 for authorizing Az cities, including Birmingham, to in- crease the tax rate as much as 5 mdls. and the other in February for the state to issue S25, ,O0O, 900 in good roads bonds, should both carry by large majorities.
 City taxes are entirely too low. Here in this rapidly growing city they are absurdly low. With an ad- ditional tax of 5 mills we will still be required to practice economy, but many improvements can be made, for which there is pressing need. The defeat of this amendment would be little short of a calamity.
 City Commissioner J. R. Hornady lis making vigorous canvass, and Iother public spirited citizens are ac- lively engaged in the cause.
 As for the $25 100000 bond issue, lit is, as everyone should know, of lmomentous importance. It will prob ably carry but there should be a 
 sweeping majority.
 Since the bonds are to be paid, not by the taxpayers, but out of the auto mobile license fund; moreover, since the automobilists are beneficiaries are Iirfavor of it, he would be non progressive citizen, who would cast a vote in the negative. The proceeds of the bonds will be expended on trunk highways, ~con-- meeting every county seat in Alabama; leaving the counties to build local roads out of county revenues. As the federal government is to con- tribute $25, 5,OOO,OoO to the trunk lines, matching dollar for dollar as the work progresses, Alabama will have com pleted s5O,OOo,00O worth of highways during the next three or four years. These highways will be of the finest
 construction and provision will be made for upkeep. They will be built to last practically for all time. With lsuch roads what state in the south will Icome up to Alabama? E * < The hardest rain in 10 yearsv did not cause single individual to start
