LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Why IS 1t that man will never go to his wife for advice the way he will so to an absolute stranger
 The drys act as though they are will ing you should ignore the Ten Com mandments as long as you ohey their commandments: Thou shalt not drink anything but water.
 We know a girl who has spent three years at Vassar getting the higher ed ucation. And she came on her vacation. and the first thing she did was to get off street car backward.
 A husband can tell when his wife is jealous by the way she tells him every five minutes that she isn't.
 When woman meets a woman ac- quaintance on the street and calls her Dear" she can make it sound like Devil"
 The only time a husband ever tells his wife the truth about things is when he doesn't give a durn and wants her to get a divorce.
 About month from now some of the June Brides are going to be so dis gusted that they'll be disappointed if the Wedding Ring doesn't leave green mark where they wear it.
 It takes twenty yearsrto get a good reputation; but you can get bad repu- tation fin twenty seconds.
 The o. f. man who couldn't afford to pay d dime a drink for whisky when 1t was easy to get is now paying dol tar drink because 1t is hard to get.

Railroads Mark Time While
 Waiting on Rate Decision

MW HATEVER the interstate com-
 w merce commission decides with regard to the increase in freight rates to be allowed the railroads, the sooner the decision is made the better it will be for the country.
 The award will end uncertainty. The railroads have been unable to figure on the future. Shippers can not estimate the cost of production and delivery. The public is distracted and confused
 When the new rates are announced the railroad executives cannot but go forward with equipment and road bed improvement with better heart than now.
 A clarified atmosphere should re- suit in new cars, rails, locomotives and revival of private ownership initiative.

 It has been the fortune of the Herald and Examiner to find out and publish the truth about all three. It is not look ing for thanks; to find out and publish truth is it's business
 But possibly the stories of these three may serve as an answer to those read CTS who ask every now and again, Why do newspapers publish stories of crime? Why do they not confine themselves to presenting the good the beautiful, the idealistic?'
 So they do, when the good, the beau tiful. the idealistic are also the interest," ing. But perhaps the highest compliment that can be paid to man lies in the fact that good is more normal than evil. Most often it is the bad which is interesting, because it is the bad which is unusual.

# # # Call in a Plumber for Your Home Distillery

V1T0 HE plumber is an independent
 o parsonage, wherever he is found. The leisurely-one might even say philosophie-ma manner in which he taps pipe has aroused the admiration as well as the despair of those de- pendent upon his services.
 From Washington comes the an- nouncement that it is now almost im- possible to hire a plumber strictly for plumbing. Why should he bother with water pipes, steam pipes and the like when he can make $20O a week setting up stills" in the home? This question requires no answer.
 House owners and occupants who need the lawful assistance of plum bers are not getting it for the simple reason that the plumber has no time to waste on leaking pipes and drip ping faucets. One master plumber reports that every one of his men quit after one of them announced that he had been earning $200 a week making apparatus for illicit distill- ing.
 Unless every householder who de- sires one obtains "still" before the first freeze there may be a plumbing crisis in the national capital. The population will naturally increase, and that will call for more stills" Be- sides, law enforcement officers may Inadvertently discover some of the "stills" and feel in duty bound to de- stroy them. That will mean addi- tional work for the plumbers. We'll may these already affluent gentry fe- hcitate themselves on being able to make hay while the sun shines and 1t is not to be wondered at that a paitry $10 or SIP day interests them no longer.

THE NEW PALESTINE

terrain! The Mount of Olives echoed to the tread of marching hosts! The roar of great guns rocked the walls and temples of the city which Ezra loved and of which Ezekiel dreamed strange, beautifus dreams.
 Many great Jews dreamed of the re- clamation of the Holy City. Disraeli dreamed this dream; Montefiore saw it's possible achievement in his visions; the Rothschilds labored to crystalize the dream. But international jealousies, racial santagonisms, selfishness and cruel prejudices held it in abeyance until the tragedy of the world war opened the way to many readjustments. Hence it is that today, under the mandate of Eng land, assured through the assistance of. her allies and the cordial sympathy and moral support of the United States, Pal estine takes autonomy.

Steel Trade in
 An Excellent State

A LABAMIANs should ponder S that remarable status of the steel trade indicated by the order books of the United States Steel Cor poration, which at this time show 11,00O,00O tons of steel products booked and to be manufactured and delivered by it compared with 5,000,- 900 tons year ago.
 The increase over last year is 120 per cent and the increase over Janu- ary of this year is 100000 tons. The Wall Street Journal says: "The Steel Corporation has sufficient busi- ness on it's books to warrant full op- erations for twelve months to come" :"
 On top of this is to come the long delayed purchase of steel and iron products by the railroads, the largest consumers of iron and steel products in the country.
 What affects the Steel Corporation at large has it's immediate reflex in this district, where it's three auxili- aries, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, the American Steel and Wire and the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Companies, have large mills which enjoy a full share of the production of the Steel Corporation.

of the steel trade that of pig iron the industrial horoscope could not be well improved on from a demand and production Standpoint. Pig iron was never in greater demand, nor was the iron market ever stronger.
 The vast accumulation of und sliv- cred steel products on yards is only temporary. That future delivery or ders have piled so high with that large amount of material on side tracks is but additional evidence If the strength of the metal situation.
 Alabama has less of this accumula- tion than the east and a smaller amount of frozen credits represented by these sidetrack and yard holdings. We have also the standing advantage of easier and quicker access to the ocean for foreign disposition of our metal products.
 The view ahead in iron and steel is one that promises full employment of men and a broad scope of operations for an indefinite period.

EUGENE OF FRANCE

American by citizenship, though not by residence; and however devoted we may be to republican France, most Americans are well satisfied that Eugenie's plight ir 1870 so strongly appealed to the chiv- airy of American Minister Washburne, and that he and other Americans could render her aid and courtesy.
 Whether vain and beautiful young Elm press ever spoke of the struggle of 1870-1 as my war; is now of little moment. Whatever she may have said, or thought, the world knows since the publication of the truth about the Benedetti, dispatch. that it was Bismarck's war. coldly melted because he knew Prussia would win. For years Eugenie was the sole conspicuous survivor of her time-a time when Erus- sia NO longer had a Bismarck! Her TO- mantle career closes just as a victorious France sets terms for humbled Germany.
