 In Hammurabi's Day

A LTHOUGH the famous Code of 42A Hammurabi came into exist ence about two thousand years be- fore the birth of Christ, in some par ticulars it is we'll adapted to mod ern life.
 For instance, that vexatious mat ter of the doctors bill did not com plicate existence four thousand years ago. The fees of physicians and sur geons were fixed by law. A doctor who mended a broken limb or cured an acute attack of collie was allowed to charge the gentry but five shek- els, no matter how much money he thought his patient had. The com moner paid three shekels and the slave two. A surgeon who operated on a person of high degree received ten shekels; a middle-class patient paid five shekels and a slave two. The appendix was not removed in those days It was not until compar- atively recent years that surgeons discovered the appendix to be gold mine and acted accordingly.
 
 The "cut- -'em-open" surgeons who would rather operate than eat were discouraged from taking chances with their patients. Severe penalties were imposed on surgeons who guessed wrong and operated when a pill was needed. If the patient died, although, according to modern Ideas, the death of patient has nothing to do with the success of an opera tion, the surgeon had both of his hands cut off and retired If he lost a slave patient he had to replace him with another of equal value, and chus made nothing out of the job.
 Nowadays when a whiff of gas costs as much as a good suit of clothes used to cost and surgeons find the operating table a short Gut to riches, certain sections from the Code of Hammurabi might fill a long felt want.

THE FARMERS WIFE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 7F farm life is to. be made thoroughly II attractive, attention must not be S given exclusively to the barn and live stock; more of it must be given to the kitchen and nursery. Farm life must appeal to women as we'll as men. Long hours over the kitchen range or the wash tub are no more alluring than long hours aboard a tractor or binder.
 A recent survey of more than 10000 farm homes in typical agricultural communities brings to light some striking facts. The average working day of the woman on the farm is 11.3 hours a day the year round. During the summer months she is able to find daily only 16 hours of leisure, and 2.4 hours in winter. In half the cases she rises and is at work at 5 in the morn ing.
 The routine of this composite indi- vidual consists of the preparation of three meals a day, keeping in order a seven-room house, filling and cleaning kerosene lamps. feeding the poultry, churning, washing, baking and sewing. At certain seasons of the year she also gardens, assists in the care of live stock, and works in the fields. All of

White House Conference
 Distinctly Satisfactory

IF the democratic ticket is not a U winner in November it will not be because the nominee and Presi- dent Wilson are not fully together.
 Governor Cox and MT. Roosevelt met the President yesterday by ap- pointment and agreed upon every es- sential of the campaign. All three of the principals in the conference gave out statements showing the most complete accord As MT. Will son put it, he and Governor Cox were absolutely at one with regard to the issue of the League of Nations and that the nominee is ready to be the champion of the honor of the nation for securing the peace of the world.
 The democratic standard bearer will have the vigorous support of a united party, and the President feels confident they will be sup ported by a united nation.
 There was complete agreement as to the meaning and sufficiency" of the party platform. MT. Roosevelt re- ferred to the splendid accord' of Governor Cox and the President. Party solidarity is the key note of the situation.

Governor of Texas to
 Investigate Lynching

m RAIDERS of the mobs who re- ~ gently lynched negroes in Texas are to be investigated and ar rested, if possible, by direction of Gov. W. P. Hobby.
 The adjutant generals department has charge of the undertaking, and to that end has sent companies of rangers to counties where the law less acts were committed.
 Two negroes were burned at the stake about ten days ago. No more brutal mob crime was or known, and the sooner the leadc are ap- prehended and punished, the sooner will law and order be firmly estab- lished in Texas.
 There has been two much delay in proceeding against the Texas mob, but vigorous action now on th, part of the state will set wholesome ex- ample. What made ti.e burni..s of the negroes especially hideous was the fact that one of the victims was believed to have been innocent, and doubt about the second.
 Lynchings can be reduced to a minimum by prompt and strenuous action on the part of the executive and the jr liciary. In the meantime public sentiment should be so molded as to make the mobbish spirit thing of the past.

THE VAUGHAN GUNS

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 N DMIRAL SIMS has just revealed
 A\ in magazine article some
 thing of the history of the so called 'Vauclain Guns" which caused no little excitement in this vicinity some two years ago. Much was said about their size and range and some guesses were wild. It now appears that the Baldwin Locomotive Works began construction on the mountings, which were on specially designed rail- way cars, on February 13. 1918, and that all the guns and mountings were in St. Nazaire in the following July. It appears that the primary purpose was to silence the long-range cannon which had bombarded Paris. Although the train carrying these guns was camoufla ged, apparently German avia- tors detected it and suddenly the bonn bardment of Paris from the Forest oi St. Gobain ceased, and later it was found that the guns had been removed
 The Vauclain guns were then put to other uses. The five fired TSP shells before the armistice, the shells going from IS to 23 miles and doing enor- nous damage, first in destroying the

Beehive Coke Oven
 Will Soon Be History

THE by-product coke production
 U of Alabama in 1919 exceeded the beehive coke production by 100 per cent. The year before that it's excess of production over that of the beehive oven was 50 per cent. The excess of by-product coke man ufacture in 1920 will be so great as 0 point clearly to the early disap- pearance of the beehive oven.
 The new by-product ovens built and put in operation this year add 40 per cent to the by-product ca pacity of 1919. That means that much more of by-product coke and that much less of the bee-hibe.
 These changes had to come about were Birmingham to maintain its place as an iron and steel producer. 11du We NOilICAtCu Oui oClNcS Wlll lIle propinquity of our raw materials, great as that advantage is, we would have been<so far outdistanced by our eastern and western competitors as to have been run out of the market, and our furnaces dismantled and sold for scrap.

this is in addition to the care of her children.
 In spite of the number and the diff ficult character of many of their tasks the farm women are given inadequate equipment. Sixty per cent must go to the spring or to the pump for water, 80 per cent have no bathrooms, and 5i per cent have to carry fuel for two wood or coal stoves. Whereas AS per cent of the farms covered by the sur vey had power driven farm machinery only 22 per cent had this advantage for the home.
 For many decades the easy terms upon which land could be acquired, in- duced the farmer to direct his energy and income toward that end. But in these days with agricultural labor scarce and with land going out of cul- tivation for want of man power, a con- tinuance of the policy of making land possession the, all important consider- ation will prove futile New attention must be paid to raising the standard of living on the farms and, in partfeu- lar, to making farm life more attrac- tive to the wives and daughters.
 If the farmer works too long hours with too little help, so does his wife.

Where Shall Baptist
 Hospital Be Located?

10 BIRMINGHAM is generous and, ~ withal, is modest. These two qualities, however, should not mili- tate against consideration of the part played by this community in sub scriptions to the great Baptist fund raised last spring.
 The Alabama quota was four mill lion dollars. The county of Jeffer- son gave eight hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, and of that amount seven hundred thousand dol lars came from the city of Birming- ham proper. One-fifth of the en- tire sum raised in the state of Ala bama was contributed by Jefferson county.
 It is not claimed by Birmingham or by Jefferson that what was given as free-will offering should be measured back in the proportion in which they gave. Neither would this community ask that any institution, which embarks on a useful mission, should be located here merely be- cause this people has been generous in providing for it's creation. At the same time the locating board of the Baptist convention, which has in charge the selection of the site of the Baptist hospital to be established in this state, may be- Icomingly consider the part that Bir- mingham and Jefferson have played. Not only this, but wise locating board will bear in mind not only the inducements that are offered in order to secure the hospital, but will ike wise ponder the future of such an institution after it has been founded and faces the wherewith of continu- ous maintenance.
 Hospitals must have income. h. come is derived from patients. More patients are obtainable in larger cen ters of population than in small ones and more patients are obtainable in
 industrial and manufacturing com fmunities than in any other kind.

 The strike was ordered by that em- inent altruist, Umbrella Mike" Boyle, recently released by President Wilson from the bridewell through the com mutation of his federal sentence of one years Imprisonment for acts of con spiraoy to keep nonunion>~ electrical goods out of Chicago.

 There is, unquestionably, a point of agreement that would be fair to all n- terests. It could have been reached by negotiation or arbitration. If there had been shown reasonable regard for the street car patrons there would have been fair settlement. The peo- pie should not permit themselves any longer to be kicked and cuffed about between corporation managers and Ia bor agitators. In public service that affects the daily requirements or con- venience of the people there is no jus tice in strikes, since the public is ready to require that justice be done.
