WASHINGTON, jan 30.-The
growing seriousness of the world sit

reason is that both sides in the fight

STEVENSON THE ADVENTURER

From Some Personal Recollections."
 by Sir Sidney colvin. in the March
 Scribner.
 G7GlHE recollections of him that re-
 main with me from the next few
 years are partly of two visits l paid him in the course of that first win ter (1S7s-74) on the Riviera; partly of visits he paid me in the Norwood cot tage, or in another cottage at Hamp- stead, or later in college rooms at Cam bridge; partly from his various descents upon or passages through London, made sometimes from Edinburgh and some times from France, after his return in 1874 to his now, reconciled home
 The points in his character these stray recollections chiefly illustrate are, first, the longing for life of action and adventure, which in an ordinary youth might have passed as matter of course putin one already so stricken in health seemed pathetically vain; next, his inborn faculty--a very much rarer gift-as an artist in letters, and the scrupulous self-training by which almost from boyhood he had been pri. vately disciplining it; then the intense- ly, quite exceptionally. observing and loving interest he took in young chill dren; and above all, that magical

Home on the Move.

'The scarcity of houses in Bessemer has been recently demonstrated" said T. E. Pinner, deputy tax assessor, when a family remains in house which is being moved three blocks down the street. The owners desiring to move the house from it's present To- cation to lot three sblocks away started with it the family living in it being unable to secure a, place to move. After the men had started moving the house another family moved in and now the house which at present is block ing one of the avenues is occupied by two families
 .The reason for the families remain- ing in this house during it's slow prog ress to it's new home. is due to the fact that houses cannot be secured and persons wishing to move when the houses fin which they live have been sold are willing to take almost any thing to have somewhere to go. Besse- mer, however. is not different from the majority of cities all over the country and it is Believed there will be many new houses erected before. the con gested condition will be relieved to any extent"

POLES AND BoLsHEvIsTs

Lucian Swift Kirtland. in Leslie's.
 In 1916, although the Russian bear may have then had well-developed cancer eating perilously near it's vii tals, it still remained a very ugly brute with massive. material strength. The army at that time was but little af- fccted by the disintegration gaining sheadway back of the lines. The Dvinsk
 front was heavily held, and great re- serves of troops glutted the back
 country. On every road, as far as
 the eye could see. came and went the
 endless procession of peasants carts,
 bringing army supplies-the Russian
 equivalent of the motor trucks on the
 western front. And on the other side
 of the lines one knew that the German
 terrain was no less busy hive.
 Today it is a new lease" over which
 men are fighting. a cause undreamed
 of four years ago. but many of the
 trenches are the same old ditches with the same dugouts. An army of thou sands is spread along front, which once crowded in it's millions. The 'lines' are held bv a series of out posts, not by continuous trench sys- tenn. Heavy cavalry raids can pene- trate the enemy lines for days until a sufficient force can be concentrated to drive them back-out they have to carry their own forage as there is but little left in the war-smitten country
 In fact. one of the difficulties of mak- 1 ing war in this billion-acre lot is to get in contact with a sufficient enemy | fierce of the enemy to make it worth your while to try to exterminate him. | Thus a city on the immediate front. such as Dvinsk even if 1t were not strategetically key position, becomes important as a concentration point of activity.

Birmingham Should
 Have Clean Streets

~ COMMISSIONER BURRUSS is S striving to improve the streets of Birmingham. In the central busi- ness section and in all the elegant residence sections the streets are per- feet, but the highway system of city that covers an area of fifty square miles finds hundreds of miles unim- proved. This should not be so Every street should be good street, and Mr. Burruss should receive hearty support in his enterprise.
 But Birmingham not only needs first-class roadbeds from one end to the other, but it needs clean streets. Within a compass of few blocks the streets are flushed and kept in a req sonably. presentable appearance, but in a score or more of blocks the gut ters are anything but clean. They are full of trash.
 Visitors to Birmingham can but be impressed with it's general aspect. The business district is citylike, and the landscape effects on the high lands-both north and south -are marvels of beauty. No city in the south has such beautiful homes as Birmingham.
 All we need to complete the at tractiveness of the downtown" sec tion is clean streets The govern mcnt of Birmingham is cramped for money, but it is hoped that Commis- sioner Burruss will find way to raise the revenue to provide for gut ter cleaning.

He has been heard by the hundreds of thousands and those who will follow the series of talks and addresses will be able to get a grip on scripture truth which they have never had before.

Suitable Salary
 For City Engineer

TIT is unfortunate that there should 0 have arisen at the city hall any controversy over the payment of a suitable salary to so competent a pub lie official as the presenet city engi- reer.
 Julian Kendrick ranks high among municipal engineers of the entire country. More than twenty-five years of his life have been spent in the services of the city of Birmingham. He is more familiar. with the city's eng ineering problems than any other man could possibly be. He is man who never dabbles in politics, but through all these years has attended strictly to business. The city of Bir- mingham\ could ill afford to lose such a man. As matter of fact, it is stated that the question of hls leav- ing the city's services has never been
 brought up. The commissioner of streets simply felt that man of MT. Hendricks ability, man who is recognized throughout the country as an authority on street and sani- tary matters, deserved more than three hundred dollars a month salary after over a quarter of century of service.
 When it is brought to their at tenticn the taxpayers of Birmingham will feel the same way.

From the Providence Journal
 6T7HE standard clothing" scheme.
 proclaimed enthusiastically in
 2 government circles in England some time ago, seems definitely to have failed. The idea of the paternal gov ernment was that the cost of living would be reduced if clothes of certain fabrics, made in certain styles, were of fered to the hard-pressed consumer at government controlled prices. If the government could outfit the army and navy satisfactorily and cheapIy, why should not the civilian population be similarly benefited?
 It was plausible idea, but 1t worked only so far as the production of very respectable line of clothing was con cerned-with the government assuming the risk of selling it. One day the min- ister who had charge of the matter allowed it to be known that he had on hand not fewer than 25o,ooo standard suits which nobody appeared to want.

 What I can't understand" ~says James M. Jones, Jr.. city comptroller lis why business men. successful busi- ness men. whose time is valuable, allow their licenses to become delinquent, or wait until the rush of the last minute 10 square their accounts with the city.
 Not only hundreds but thousands of them do it. Big men. mind you. men of large affairs, whose time is very valuable. who right now could come to the city hall. or send a repre- sentative here, to pay the licenses, wait week after week. until the very last day or so before the licenses are pen alized. and then stand fuming in line for hours. in a crowd of several hum dred people, sometimes. awaiting their turn to settle up matter that would not take them five minutes were they to come across nowl
 "T have been a city employe for number of years and have seen no lit tie of this license paying. but each year it is the same thing. Weeks and weeks of the clerks of the department waiting and hoping for business to come so they can get it settled, then few days before the penalty goes on, here they come in droves, all at one time. and have to stand and wait. and wait and wait for an opportunity to pay.
 T have never been able to explain it myself'
