Remarkable Growth
 if Southern Cities

-oIprHERN cities make remarka- S ble showing in the 1920 census. Five more of them have gotten into the 100000 class, making a total of eleven. while seven have advanced intp the 25,O00 class, making total of tiirty-five. In all, the south has forty-five cities with more than 25,- GOO inhabitants.
 Hats off to the state of Texas, which furnished four of the five cities entering the 100000 class. They are Dallas. San Antonio, Fort Worth and Houstm, They made great strides in tho ken years, the percentage of in crease being from 67 per cent m the case of San Antonio, to 75 in the case of Houston.
 New Orls sns, Atlanta and Birming- ham remain in the lead in the order named, while Richmond passed from fifth to fourth place, and Memphis dropped from fourth to fifth Nash viIle went from sixth to ninth. Bir- mingham made the largest percentage of growth of the three leaders.
 No city in the south deserves the new place of eminence to which it has attained more than Houston. No other has done more of its own mo- ton to make itself grow. Enterprise is the other name of Houston
 Houston owes much of it's growth to the building of the ship canal that made ita real port with ocean liners docking at it's own municipal termi- nals. It eutailed an initial outlay ot three million dollars years ago when tho city was smaller and had less rsrney.
 Houston invested in waterways ant te exeward~ has been manifold.

Sleep and Tie

"When anything gets to be serious, then people are sure to begin joking about it. That is the way with the housing situation, and I heard a rather amusing joke about it the other day that I think will take all honors," said Carl Brown.
 Tt was about a man and his wife and two sons who had always rented a six-room cottage in West End. The lease ran out a few weeks ago, and the family was forced to hunt for a new house. as the one they had been living in had been sold. Finally they were forced to take two small rooms out on the south side. One was a bed room and the other was a 4x6-foot kitchen. Both the sons worked al night, so while the boys worked at night, their father and mother oc- cupied the bedroom, and when their parents got up in the morning, the boys came home and went to bed Pretty bad situation, I think and they were paying high for that one and a half rooms, too."

Insane Literature

The other day I had some business to attend to in Tuscaloosa, so while was there thought would take trip out to the hospital for the insance, which is only a few blocks out from the downtown district" said Lawrence Cunningham.
 T found that the conditions at the hospital are of the very best and of the poor human beings that are kept there I have nothing to say except that I feel sorry for them. But I saw a chance where the people of Birmingham could do a lot of good. There are dozens of people at this institution that in some respects are just like other people, and being penned in one place they naturally want to read. There are only few magazines on the entire place. had a talk with the authorities and I know that a crate of old magazines and books, 1t doesn't mater If they are old, would seem like godsend to these people and would make them happy, which counts a great deal"

 It is true that on Monday the Barons lost both games, but had they been played in the middle of the season they would have been regarded as good ball. for in the first we lost by score of 5-4. and in the last by 2-1 Yet all around me in the grandstand the fans were screeching themselves hoarse about the rotten play ing venting their spleen on "Moley' by yelling. Why don't you give us a ball , team" I maintain that he has given us good team this year, and one that we may we'll be proud of.
