An Optinist

"Moley has certainly got a good baseball team this season" says E. A.. Powell. "Of course, there have been 2 lot of errors made and all that sort of thing, but that is to be expected at the beginning of a season. Our pitchers have been Q little slow, but now they are beginning to put their hearts into the game. Our best hit ters are just beginning to be able to connect with the ball and our fielders are getting so they are able to catch q fly nearly every time it comes their way.
 Birmingham occupies next to the last spot on the bill, but just watch :hem They're going straight to the top. Moley Is good manager. He's the best pilot in the Southern League today. so don't give his gang a kick, when a cheer would help them along. Lay yo1r bets with Birmingham. The Barons smell blood and are out to get the pennant."

Missouri Democrats
 Reject Senator Reed

1IAVING sown the wind, Senator {l N Reed has reaped the whirlwind in Missouri. He has been repudiated in the democratic state convention as a delegates to the national convention at San Francisco. The issue which brought this unprecedented humilia tion on Missouri's senior senator was the League of Nations.
 As a speaker said in addressing the convention, in opposition to Reed, Missouri has shown her true colors. She has been charged with pro- Germanism, with hatred of Wilson, of England and the League of Nations. Rejection of the vitriolic Reed by the decisive vote of ten hundred and seventy to four hundred and ninety shows where he stands with his con- stituents. He is badly discredited  leader.
 Everyone who has followed the course of events since war was de- clared on Germany is aware that Sen ator Reeds war record has been none of the best. He may have been hon. estly mistaken, but it is apparent that he did not voice the sentiments of Missouri. When the fight against the League of Nations was started in Congress by Republican enemies of Wilson, Senator Reed, although a democrat, actively participated. Not

HereWard Darlington, in Leslie's 1EMR. LEDUC, a noted French biolo |JlO gist, has lately conducted series of experiments with what he termed "osmotic growths' obtaining some very striking results.
 Osmosis is the process by which sub- stances held in solution may pass through cred that when solution of certain salts was enclosed in a natural membrane and suspended in a second solution of differ ent concentration, the salts of. the first solution would pass through the mem brane and form curious, lifelike growths resembling the lower order of sponges were produced. Shells reeds, ferns, mushrooms and even miniature trees with variagated flowers upon them-trees almost identical, so far as shape and structure are concerned, with certain sea- of the jelly fish spring-were also obtained. In fact, it seemed only necessary to ma nipulate the concentration of the solu- tions used in order to secure any kind or degree of growth that could be desired.
 But are these osmotic growths genuine forms of life? No; for, while they bear the semblance of living organisms, they do not meet one of the ultimate tests of life, which is the ability to repro duce,
 This criticism, however, cannot be lodged against certain forms which Charl- ton Bastian, NJ. D., F. R. S., the English

 T certainly admire the stand taken l'y Judge Horace Wilkinson and the members of the Birmingham post of the American Legion In trying to keep T'evalera and his associates from visit ing Birmingham" says Frank Jones.
 "I am not going to say anything about what Devalera. so-called presi- dent of the Irish republic. had to say for himself. That ooes not matter. Everyone knows that his visit to this city was a failure.
 "But do want to say something about the fight that was made to keep tim from coming here.

 Possibly another thing entered into their reason for shipping to the St Louis market for it is we'll known that there is a Missouri banking concern which makes a business of soliciting loans on cattle in the cattle sections of Alabama, and of course this is tic which binds the producers to the west crn market but down below all this stands out the rock bottom fact that few of the breeders of pure bred stuff are willing to take chance on the Birmingham market until there are more bidders here
 Now. it's for this reason that a great stockyard is needed here if Birming- Tam hopes to get its share of the cat tie industry which in few years is go- ing to be one of the greatest assets of the state. take off my hat to the Montgomery bunch who several years ago got into the game. at first in a small way, but it grew so fast until last year eight million dollars worth of cattle was handled. This is why am so anxious for my home town to awaken to its opportunity before it is too late.
 I am sure that those already engaged in the stockyard business realize that it is to their interest to make Bir- mingham a better market, and that the hest way to do so is to get more buyers. Now. the best way to do this is for those already in the business to' get together and figure out a plan that win be big enough and attractive enough to get new blood into buying and selling. It's up to somebody to start something. My only interest is in boosting the cattle industry and in booming Birmingham

SCOUT IDEA OF NEW VOLCANO
 MT. PlSANIN0

ROME, Sept. 29 (by Associated Press) Scientists say they do not believe that new volcanoe was created on Mount Pisanino, near Spezia, during the earthquakes which began on September 7, and continued until September g, causing the loss of 500 lives.
 Tongues of flame and smoke or dust were seen to be emitted from what is popularly supposed to have been a new crater opened near the mountain top.
 %s Frank A. Perrett, the American vel canologist for the Carnegie institution who occupies station at Mt. Vesu- vius to observe it's operations, has express to the Associated Press the formed but that the earth Quakes caused displacements of subterranean strata causing a mistaken impression by onlookers as to the opening of the crater. The phenomenon was net a new one. Mr. Perrett said the seis mical instruments showed a towering of the earth level in the earth quake district previous to the tr7mors. This had been observed on other Oc- casions when earthquakes occurred.
 This view is shared by Sen. Caple- llini, a leading geologist who has been interviewed by the Messagero and who says there may have been an eruption of gas through a Assure on Mount Pisanino and the supposed column of smoke above the mountain may have been caused by clouds of dust from falling earth.
 The tongues of flame, in Senator Caplelhni's opinion may possibly have been inflamable gas from under ground wells of oil. He said, however, that volcanoes can appear indepen- dently of the structure of the earth's crust and that the greatest catastro- phes have occurred from the appear ance of volcanoes where nobody ex- pected them.
 For example, the geologists con- tinued, Mount Etna rises out of post-Pliocene strata while the volcan- oes of the Andes mountains in South American arise from granite rocks. Therefore the nature of the Apuan mountains did not exclude the possi. bility of a volcano appearing on Mt. } Pisanino.
