tween nations, was to be put on new basis. Even the peoples of the central empires took hope. Kaiserism was ended, the new relationship was promised in the very terms of the armistice.
 Through all this period our people at home held to the ideal. It was constantly before their eyes. The flag they knew and loved was still spreading through the world the American spirit of service and unselfShnesS No voice was heard In opposition to Americas proposal that new order should supersede the old. We were proud that we could have the oppor- tunity to point the way to world peace, not mere cessation of conflict, put the peace of permanence.
 "An organization to that end was drawn up by the assembled nations, and through it all, America's part was the clearest, the cleanest and the highest-minded or all In every nation, men and women re- joiced that the spirit of Americas ffg was being translated into actual accom- plishment, and in that rejoicing we shared. Today the accomplishment of the League of Nations has been made We, the nation whose ideals made it pos sble, remain without. The flag which carried the hope and the promise is be- ginning to be viewed with different eyes abroad.
 Mot only in France, not only in Flu rope, but in all the peoples of all the world, lies that hope in our flag. They ask us to go in. They ask not for new peace commission, not for new theory, not for new conference to draw up new set of rules. They ask fair trial for what we have undertaken. They ask that America help ill the name of hu- manity. They ask that they be given again the inspiration of our flag. Shall we refuse? Shall we for par tisanship stand aloof? Shall we forget 1 our history and the history of our flag? | America will not fail in the crisis. America will not turn back. America will not forget"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Cut Out Nuisance

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The movement to stop speeding in Birmingham seems to be bearing fruit because it. Is noticeable that there have been fewer accidents recently. The success of the movement has been due largely to the newspaper publicity which has educated the public regard ing the dangers of reckless driving. There is still too much speeding in Birmingham, but it >is principally among the ignorant and irresponsible classes who do not read the newspa- pers. Of course, it will not be possible to stop speeding until all the fools are dead; but a lot can be done to mitigate the speed menace by educating the public regarding the dangers of reck- less driving.
 Next to speeding is the cut out nuisance that makes living almost un- endurable on some of Birmingham s choicest streets. There is no more req son for using a cut out than there is for speeding. Many experiments have been made which show that sound mufflers do not decrease the power of automobiles or trucks and some of the most expensive cars do not have cut outs on them. The better the car the less noise in hill climbing or when in high gear. It is the cheap cars and the in experienced driver that make the most noise.
 The automohilist would not use the cut out if he thought he was interfer- ring with the comfort of others. am writing to say to automobilists that there are thousands of people in Bir-

iceberg Was an Acrobat.

Not far from the spot where the IT,
tanic was sunk by an iceberg in April,
1912, q feet Of IA icebergs, some Of
them rising to more than 100 feet
above the water line, were sighted by
the steamship Munaires on recent
voyage.
Captain Fleming of the Munaires
says that one of the bergs gave a re-
nlarkable exhibition of tumbling as the
vessel sailed past. 1t had apparently
lost good deal of its under water
weight through the action Of the warm
sea water, and as they watched 1t the
great iceberg suddenly tipped to star
board and rolled over with an immense
splash. AS it fell, a big section Of the
top broke away, with the result that
the balance was altered and the berg
tumbled back again. Then, Just as 1t
was righting itself. another section
broke off, and it tumbled once more.
The sight was a most unusual one

LOOK TO FUTURE OF FOREST
Experts Point Out Folly Of Practices
Which Prevent the Reproduction
Of the Trees. f.....

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That young growth in the woods,
known popularity as ''brush," is some
thing to be rid of, is prevalent but
mistaken conception since a forest
cannot maintain itself long without re-
production. For the sake of getting a
scattering Of green grass in the spring
1t is the short-sighted practice in hun
dreds of localities to fire the woods
regularly. This results in killing thou
sands of small trees needed to con-
tinue the forest in the future, and also
Injuries large amount of marketable
timber. Furthermore, such burning de-
stroys large amount of rich vegetable
fertilizer.
Cattle and hogs in hardwood stands,
and hogs in long-leaf pines, keep the
forest from being restOcked. Damage
from insects can be reduced by cutting
timber at the proper time Of year and
by utilizing lightning-killed trees with
out delay, since they harbor destruc-
tive pests. Cattle destroy the produc-
tive leaf mulch which keep the trees
growing during long. dry spells. All
large openings where light comes
through into the forest should he filled
with younger trees.

This old Earth.

In recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist who Is
now visiting America, announced that
the earth would probably continue to
exist for 20, 900, 900 years more. These
are, of course, round numbers. Some
scientists estimate that the earth will
live for ten times this age. There have
been animals Of one kind and another
on this planet for fully this length Of
time The dinosaurs are believed to
have lived through some such period.
The age Of man, which is probably only
few thousand years, seems the mer-
est trifle by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which Is less than
ten thousand years, we may hope that
he will evolve to an infinitely finer type
in the future-Boys' Life.
