Advance in Freight Rates
 to Meet Wage Increase

E7H HE Interstate Commerce Com
 O mission has granted a substan- tial advance in freight rates as fol- lows: Forty per cent in the east, 25 per cent in the south, 35 per cent in the west and 25 per cent in the Mountain Pacific territory.
 Ten years ago the railroads begged for an advance. The shippers opposed a change in the tariff rates and it was not until the transportation com panies had contended for some time and earnestly, that the commission yielded.
 But the advance was not as much at that time as had been asked. The railroads were not able to make eN- tensions or betterments, but the com paratively small increases helped, if they did not enable the principal lires to put their properties in prime con- dition.
 The war changed the situation, and when the wages of the trainmen were raised recently to total of six hundred million dollars, it became necessary for the Interstate Com merce Commission to come 10 the rescue of the carriers

Self Help Is the Best
 Help for the Negro

| 1M0EGROES of northern Alabama W and middle Tennessee have or ganized the Northern Alabama and Middle Tennessee Colored Fair and Racing Association for the purpose of holding annual colored fairs.
 Dates have been announced and provide for the holding of these fairs at Winchester, Murfreesboro, Fay etteville, Shelbyville, Pulaski and South Pittsburg in Tennessee, and Athens, Tuscumbia, Huntsville, Hart selle and other places in northern Alabama during August, September and October.
 This is a commendable enterprise, and deserves the success that will doubtless be attained. The fairs will not only afford the negro recreation and amusement, but will be instruct i've and uplifting through agricul- tural and other exhibits.
 The white man of the south en- courages all the activities of the race that tend to make the negro pros porous and contented. There is an un- limited field for self-development of the negro ln the south. He has but 1 to look about him to sense the op- portunities. Self-reliance will en- able the opportunities to bear fruit. No extraneous aid, no matter how generous and well intended, will do {; for the negro what he can do for himself.

Making Progress on Auditorium Project

1 1T HERE has been no little impa- 0 tience about the delay in start ing work on Birmingham's audi toriun-
 Ever since the city sold the five hundred thousand dollars of bonds voted by the people for providing an adequate building for mass meetings and music festivals, there was no doubt about the ultimate consum- rnation of the project, but owing to imhprtant details to be settled, the ente prise moved slowly.
 TN main difficulties have at last been sqvercome, An ideal site on Eighth h,avenue, at the corner of West Twentieth street, overlook ing Woodrow Wilson park, having been selected, the next question to be settled was the price to be paid for the property. It is understood that an appraisement has been agreed upon at something like eighty-five thousand dollars. As the area is two hundred feet on the avenue run ming back four or five hum dred feet to the Frisco tracks, the valuation is considered fair.
 The next step will be the selection of an architect. Birmingham has sveral high-class architects. It might be well to have two or three of th' m work in conjunction and then employ
 specialist in New York or Washing | -sn to pass on the design. The auditorium must be fire-proof
 must be imposing as well as con- IA. s.nient.
 Plans can be drawn in from two to three months. That would bring the time for breaking ground 1p to l November or December. The audi torium should be complete early ir NS2,
 There will be rejoicing when ac- trad construction is under way and great jubilation when the building is ready for occupancy.

New Courses

We propose to make a feature of our night school this fall and winter" says W. S. Sta1lings, general secretary of the Y. M c. A. Several new courses that were not included last year will De included this time. One of these will be course on how to take care of an automobile. Other subjects will be stenography, bookkeeping, salesman ship and engineering.
 Realizing the advantages of the Y. M. c. A., many new members are being received. No campaign is being carried on. Young men are coming to the of flee and applying for membership of their own accord. The night school will be one of the facilities of the as- sociation- offered free to them"

The Real Thing

T have been a constant baseball att tendant for score or more of years" says R. $. Douglass, manager of the Jefferson theatre. and in all that time l never witnessed finer exhibition of baseball than was played at Redwood park Thursday afternoon, when the Barons faced the Volunteers. For eleven innings Birmingham and Nash vile seemed to be so evenly matched that neither had chance to score. Then one of the Tennesseans, with a man on first base, swatted the ball which came perilously near going over the fence, but fingered on the top of the score board, only to drop in the right fielders' hand who skot it homeward to catch Nashvillian on home plate. and give the Birminghamers chance to ex- ecute war dance. Then our home boys took courage and in rally brought in the winning run in the twelfth inning. It was some game"

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES !
 OF A PARK SYSTEM HERE IN BIRNINGEA0

avenue highway is badly cracking and that there are many holes in it. There is no good reason for this. if the roads were paved properly and the asphalt and tar mixed properly. Too many of our roads have an egg shell surface. It is not fair to the people who pay for these roads.
 As a matter of fact, if every citizen of Jefferson county. in front of whose homes or property these paved roads are placed, would watch the work carefully ! they would get much better jobs and have roads which would be permanent and not so brittle that they crush up |! in short time. # * %
 Take. for instance, the paving on High land avenue, which was done some ten or fifteen years ago. Men like Gully Exum, John Raul. Eugene Brown, Ed Cabaniss and others watched this work as it was done and insisted upon first class job. As a consequence. this pave ment is practically perfect yet and will | be there for many years. Every citizen of Jefferson should ap- point himself on a committee to watch all road and street work to see that it is done properly. Many of us have paid for paving which IS absolutely worth
 less, as any one can observe on Cliff road and many other sections of Bir- mingham

 In this connection, the people of Br-
 mingham, and it's city and county off, cers, should begin the improvement of l a park and driveway system. The city

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A woman doesn't mind telling her right age when Sshe is so old that she can pass mirror without looking into it.
 An unmitigated liar is married man who tres to explain to his wife why he got home to supper an hour late.
 When a girl chases a man, he'll avoid her But if she avoids him, he'll chase her
 If man doesn't love his wife as much as he used to, it isn't because she doesn t remind him of the fact every day or two. The man who is too cowardly to in- dulge in back talk is brave enough to do lot of talking behind your batk. As rule, when woman loses con. fidence in one man it is because she has
 placed it with another man. A single man has a right to brag that
 he never made a mistake in his life But | it is different with married man. After a man has seen his wife wear a pair of flat-heeled shoes he quits knock ing the hgh-heeled kind The easiest way for woman to fool
 a man is to make him think that nc is fooling her.
 Even when a man tries to be fair minded it is hard for him to give a girl the benefit of the doubt when her face is plastered with paint. Any time you see 2 man mistreating dog you can bet e'is the kind of man whose children hate to see him come home
 A man doesn't find the street car adver- tisements very interesting whsn the corn fed girl across the aisle is wear ng an invisible waist.
 Every married man knows at least ae
 woman who does Tot belong to the weak
 CT sex.

New Railroad View of
 Waterway Transportation

MI oBILE papers reporting the sAVU waterway hearing in the off, flee of the district engineer at Mo bile last week, mention the part played in the discussion by a rail road man.
 H. c. Barclay, freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, is recorded as having declared that the railroad is not only not hostile Ito waterway transportation, but that it is prepared and willing to help the waterways get some classes of freight that could be better handled by water than by rail-
 This is the attitude which the pub lie has insisted that the railroads as- sume to waterway transportation, and it is all that the workers for the waterways have asked This is the atr-tude of the United states govern ment distinctly stated in the trans portation act of March, 1920 The government and the people wish waterways and railroads to serve the public in such manner as each is most capable of doing and to so TO- operate that each may handle what it is best suited to handle
 Inland waterway transportation, where it is feasible, is here to stay The fictitious kind, where location on water courses conferred rail and water rates, is not to be continued That is right.

@S a recent trip through the far Il west. our party, including Cover
 nor and Mrs. Kilby and repre- sentatives from all sections of the state of Alabama, were much impressed with the park systems of the various cities of the Pacific coast
 Practically every western city has great parks and beautifully paved drive ways
 San Francisco, for instance. has hum dreds of miles of park drives bordering the city and overlooking the Golden Gate. There are few parks in America so beautiful as the Golden Gate park of San Francisco and the adjoining parks, taking in the hills overlooking the city. the bay and the Pacific ocean. In Portland, Ore, there is the great Columbia river highway, which is a continual park for some forty miles.
 In Seattle, Wash, there are four or five great parks surrounding the city and overlooking Puget sound.
 All these driveways and park roads are of asphalt or bithulithic. The sur faces are, however, more or less soft and plable. Often in hot weather one can see the impression of the wheels of automobiles or other vehicles. By mak- ing the surface more or less soft, there are never any breaks or shatters in the roadways. One never sees a hole broken out like the shell of an egg as one sees in the roads around Birmingham.

 It is an unusual thing for Friday and the thirteenth of the month to come on the same day. Superstitious people usually look for something out of the ordinary to happen on such an occasion Something different is going to come off this time, but I am not at liberty right now to say just what it is.

While I have been writing some ar
 ticles commenting upon the insularity of
 the Britisher, and, by the way the use
 of the word "Britisher'' debars me from
 the ranks of users of good English, for
 one authority has denied that any
 American of any literary standing what
 soever has ever used the term.
 Now, I have never set up for "A Lit
 erary Gent but only claim to be
 just an ordinary newspaper reporter or
 feature writer without even any ampi-
 ton to be known as journalist, ana so I'll continue to use the prohibited ex-
 pression of p'Britisher," even though it places me outside the pale of those who live in the twilight zone of literature. But in spite of all that I have said or may say to show my amusement or 1n- dignatien at the patronizing way of the average Englishman in his attitude to- wards America and Americans, down in my heart I have the greatest regard for Engiishmen their institutions, their character, their literature and their place in the forward movements of the
 world Quibbe as much as you please about there being no such thing as an Anglo-Saxon race, but the name stands for something worth while in the strlv- , ing of this twentieth century.
 i therefore hail with delight anything which makes for closer union between the English speaking people of the world, and really one of the best indi- cations that there is new and better and a profounder feeling towards Amer ica throughout the British Empire than ever before in it's history is the fact that

 | I have written several articles about The Times. but never before have had such an inspiration. for it means something when such staid and con servative paper throws precedents and | traditions to the wind and gets out a 1, real sure enough American number. ip which the advertising, as well as the 1 leading articles, with the notable excep- I ton of one by Lord Bryce, are de- voted to explaining present day America I to British readers through the eyes of {, the men of this country who are in the best position to do it.

The thing which Lord Northcliffe has done is the great est publicity stunt ever done in behalf of one country for another. and nothing shows the desire of England for a better understanding with the United States than the Fourth of July edition | of The Times.

of Birmingham owns most beautiful park of woodland just across Red noun tain comprising some 200 acres. The city and county could jointly build system of driveways and bridle paths which would make this extremely attractive.
 The city also owns a 1Oo-acre park at Green ~springs-a beautiful location for municipal golf links. baseball field, foot ball field and picnic grounds.
 It would amount to a mere-- --bagatelle for some work to be done on these parks every month and gradually cot vert them into pleasure grounds ssealeb would be priceless to the cora q the people who live here and atlr5etiss to visitors.
 Birmingham has grown to proportielz where more attention must be given t0 the comforts and pleasures of the peo. pie. It is true that there are country | clubs. but they are more or less private institutions with limited memberships and with high monthly dues.
 The average taxpaying citizen is en- titled to the same pleasure grounds that are provided for them by the leading cities of America. Southern cities as a rule have been particularly derelict in. providing large and attractive public parks for ..their citizens
 Let Birmingham now lead in this park movement and provide great playgrounds where those who cannot get away for summer vacations can find comfort and enjoyment at home.

 The railroads have lost nothing by the coal that has gone down the War rier. They will lose nothing by the ore that comes up. They will lose noth- ing at any time by water movements of freight which they are unable to handle.
