Former Tax Assessor J. Felix Me- Laughlin confesses to "A years of win ters and summers. He explains the ease with which he carries these years thus.
 T have done very little worrying in my life. I have avoided all the ex- tremes. It has been my principle to take only enough for myself and let the other fellow have his full share of the remainder I carried this theory into politics. When I thought the people had honored me enough l quit asking them for office.
 T go to bed at the same hour regu- larly and I arise at the same hour in the mornings. I take interest in what goes on around me- I live in the pres ent. I am fond of my fellow men, be they young or old, and I like to mix with them. If man is moderate in his demands and desires as well as reg ular in his habits, both mind and body will wear longer"

of old times" said Gaines Kelly. "One of the things that remind me of the time we read about. when young men who wished to look dressed used hair oil, is the fact that a large number of boys and young men now use brillian- tine on their hair.
 This fact rather dscredits the man who jumps on women for using SO much paint. Women can now retalate by telling the men of their hair oiling tendencies."

-N 1 r Port Development Is
 a Vital Necessity

TIT HERE is no more reason to 1 doubt that Alabamians are go- ing to vote the port aid amendment in November than there was reason to believe that they would hesitate to vote the good roads amendment in April
 .aa The future of Alabama rests not on any one great development, nor on many, but on their harmony. The railroads need automobile trucks to bring the products of farm and fac tory to depot platforms. They need the inland waterways to handle the : freight which waterways may more :. economically handle. They need the waterways to develop business for interchange with them that would otherwise not be created.
 The inland waterways need the ports for an outlet to the sea. A body of water is not a port. Mere !. depth and expanse of salt water serves no purpose without the devices for its use. Ships cannot load with s products brought to ports unless the 7 port has docks, wharves, terminals and loading and unloading facilities. Mobile, Alabama's only port, must have these devices or ships will not . put in there to serve Alabama com merce.
 Alabama cotton and lumber go equally to foreign and domestic con- sumers. All our products are ad- vante geously situated for the export trade provided we make of Mobile the equipped gateway and shipping point that it should be.
 Louisiana extended port aid to the slsr.ount of twenty three million dol lars. This money has cost the peo- pie of Louisiana not one penny, the terminals more than earning the principal and interest.
 We need the port as much as we do the railroads, the highways and the inland waterways, because the port is the funnel through which all our products must rass it we are to dispose of them and get the price which the world offers.

T was in Washington recently on some business" said L. K Plosser manager of the Southern Freight In- spection and Alabama Demurrage and Storage Bureau, and the weather was delightful. It's very much, pleasanter to visit the capital at present than it than one. First the hotels are not s6 damned and then ordinary business is not side-tracked by government af- fairs.

Warns Them Up

One of the Sunday school classes at the First Baptist Church has a fea- ture that I don't think any other church in the city has" said George L.. Bales, assistant city attorney. The first ten minutes of the class is taken up each Sunday with discussion of the current events of the week
 ''The members of the class take much interest in this discussion of the weekly news. Many people are really anxious to know what is going on in the world, but do not have the time or inclination to read the daily papers. The ten minutes only permits brief discussion, but I believe much good is accomplished. In this way the mem bers of the class are warmed up for the presentation of the scriptural lesson"
