The recent change in the local dry cleaning and dyeing business known as the Alabama Dry Cleaning Works, one ot fhe pioneer concerns of the kind in Birmingham, to Hastings, Dry Cleaner" is an interes ting de- Cleaner" has been the personal ele- wherein personality has been a great factor.
 Geo, H. Has astings, as manager of the Alabama Dry Cleaning Works, first, and now of Hastings, Dry Cleaner, has been the personal ele- ment which has made the business of the company, whatever it's name, fore most locally, fair, liberal policy coupled with determination to give the public the best possible service at the least possible prices being the most marked charac teris tie of Mir. Hastings plans.
 Many improvements in the plant now to be known as Has tings, Dry Cleaner" have been recently complet- ed and there is no doubt but that to- day it is one of the most modernly equipped and up-to-date plants for both cleaning and dyeing in the en- tire south.
 Geo. H. Hastings, proprietor of  the business, holds membership in the National Master Dry Cleaners and Dyers Association and as a matter of policy keeps abreast of the profession, not alone in equipment but in the study of the latest methods of work manship.
 MT. Hastings now has in charge of the dyeing department, European expert, strengthened by several years of experience with the largest dyeing plants in the United States, who Is by far one of the most notable tech nical experts engaged in any skilled line in the Birmingham district. Were he a chemist or pharmacist he would be regarded as a wonder, but as it is he must simply be marked as the head dyer for Hastings"
 Since MT. Hastings assumed ~~the management of the business which now bears his name it's patronage has grown heavily and the service being given the public is far superior to what is ordinarily expected from con- cerns of this kind.

California and the Tariff.

In the closing days OF the campaign

cotton need protection. and the re-

are familiar. OF course. with all LEGAL
investments. and can appreciate the
importance Of nourishing them IN
every legitimate way.
Senator Phelan. who Is d caadidate
for reelection; is said to be feeling the
effect Of the appeal in his campaign.
Personally, he is very popular and
much stronger in the running than
Gov. Cox. Presumably, too. he is we'll
inclined toward all the states inter

fixed charges resulting from the enor'

of the steam locomotive said that cleo

in cases where the maximum Of traf.
fic density obtainable by steam had
been reached or other special circum-
stances existed, as favorably located

will be used on roads or parts OF roads
where traffic is so dense that heavier

Ash Cans.

The problem Of persuading opposite
Examinations to form a junction, or, il
one prefers. Of making both ends
meet is already OF so serious a nature
to many Washingtonians that any
added complication thereto carries a
sinister threat. Take, for example, the
matter OF ash cans.
One purchases new receptacle OF
the indicated nature. 1t is all that
an ash can may be. The sun glistens
from it's rotundly symmetrical sides;
its cover. with a sturdy handle. fits
snusly into place. One places it In
the hack yard with appropriate cere.
monies. And one is very proud OF it
and watches. with pleasant and under
standable eomplacency, the express
sions Of covetousness upon the neigh
bors' faces. ma
A month drifts by and a change
takes place. The ash can is no longer
all that it might be. OF course, it has
ceased to slisten in the sun--that
was inevitable. But its sides are no
longer rotundly symmetrical. The
sturdy handle Is gone. The once snug.
y fitting cover can now only be
perched with dissipated tilt on its
top. And from the resulting aper.
lures ashes, propelled by the autumn
winds. are carried back into the yard
to the despair OF the family laundress.
And the lAundress is 4, friend Of the
cook. and the cook makes the best
sriddle cakes in the world. And both
threaten to depart.
That is an addition to the burdens
Of the hour that would be hard to bear.
So one purchases a new ash can.
Many Washingtonians are doing that
thing. And The Star suggests that
before the new purchases are installed
in place Of the old the ashmen Of the
District pause to consider the dire
consequences Of their heroic jugglings.
Washinstonians, including the laun-
dress and the cook and the wife and
the mere purchaser Of the can, will

Wise and Right Middle Ground.

AS Charles Evans Hughes has said:
There is middle ground between
aloofness and injurious commitments. :"
The government OF the United States
after next Fourth of March will seek
this middle ground
The United States will not demand
of Europe, Asia and. Africa that it be
permitted TO surrender to the world
at large control of American issues
which are vital TO it and be compen-
stated by mourning the burden of Euro
pean, Asiatic and African responsible
tiles. in which it is not vitality concern
ed. The United States will not. under
the delusion that the rest OF the world
is pleading for it. force upon other
nations a particular form Of world
constitution and a world-union which
neither we nor the rest Of the world
have thoughtfully studied on its
merits and decided to be desirable.
On the other hand, there will BE in
evidence a duty unmet and an oppor-
tunity ignobly neglected if out Of the
worlds war-weariness and war disgust
! and out Of the victor-leagues temper

out of this leagues power to shape in.

There il no danger that the United
States. which in the war and in peace.
making has played a glorious part in
promoting world liberty, world justice.

the world peoples. will surrender this
role. The auction OF today concerns
