Favorable Comment on birmingham.

Much favorable comment on the rapid development of the south, and particularly of the Birmingham dis trict. may be heard in the east, accord ing to Robert Jemison, Jr., who re- turned yesterday from New York
 "All the compliments I could hear, though, could not make as powerful impression on me as did the transition from the blizzard weather of the east to the mid-winter sunshine of BirIning- ham, said MT. Jemison. '1t makes me appreciate as never before what an asset climate is tto Alabama, indus trially, agrieu1turally and otherwise.
 ''Real estate is coming into its own in the east. as everywhere else,r MT. Jemison asserted, mot only because its solidity as an investment is realized, as entrusted wit hthe fluctuations of securities. but because of the tremen- dous demapd for more houses. Housing conditions apparently will not return to normal for some time to come"

ADRIFgr WITH THE TIMES
PREACHING AND PRACTICE

PREACHING AND PRACTICE Full many things there are in life
 Which mitigate against it's joy; Vexations small ahd petty strife
 That oft ones peace of mind destroy But when a bore doth finger long
 And pour his gabble in your ear, Just hum d gladsome little song And think the kind of thoughts that
 cheer.
 Perchance you're waiting for a train,
 That's bulletined as "overdue;' To fume and fret is quite in vain
 That won't speed up the engine crew. You wish to telephone. the booth
 Is hot and close, the air is foul; You don't succeed. but why, forsooth. Come forth with prodigious scowl? Iris true we are but human cIods.
 Yet we may practice patience still. A knock upon my door-ye gods! Another blankty-blankty bill.

Birmingham has plenty of good moving picture shows and I like very much to go to them" said Dave Col- Tier yesterday. but of late have let up in my visits because of the time tapping boobs.''
 Every time there Is a good picture and good music being played along with it, some one starts beating time or ticking the back of my chair. Men and women, it's just the same. though usually the men are most to blame. Maybe they don't know it. but these chair kickers destroy all pleasure in the entertainment for the people about them and particularly for the person sitting in the chair they choose to beat or kick time on.
 Somebody said, a long time ago, that a persons breeding shows itself nowhere more plainly than in church and at the table, but evidently the movies had not been invented when he voiced the statement, for I believe a persons breeding nowhere shows more plainly than at any sort of theatre. You can tell the yokels from the civ-
 ilized people so much more easily, for bad behavior and being nuisance is so' much more easily committed in 8 theatre than in church or at table T guess most of us could stand for nearly everything people do. in pie ture show. if they they would only keep their feet still and on the floor"
