 day Evening Post.
 NhMHAT Fuji-yama is to Japan.
 to an Armenia drawn by the development of communications with in easy reach of the rest of the world. But so is Ararat And that is the diff ficulty. It occurs to me that Ararat is superior to Fuj much in the same degree that Fuji is superior to Mayon. These are the three most symmetrical mountains in the world, I believe, and each of them rises in splendid isQla-- ton straight up from humanity's eye level to the clouds.
 Mayon is a Philippine mountain on the Island of Luzon, and it is supposed to be the most perfect cone on earth. It is quite perfect as matter of fact absolutely perfect; and being clothed in colorful tropic verdure and capped with opalescent lights in lieu of snow it is a wonderful thing to see. From many angles of vision Fuji, too, is per
 
 not so much in perfection of form as in charm of surroundings and a curi- ous atmospheric something that is all most mesmeric in it's effect on ones un-Japanese c O n s c i o Il S e ss. Fuji breathes the call of the East. F'uji is mirrored in strangely still waters and is shot Nacross from many viewpoints with gaunt shadows of age=old and easterly tortured trees. Fuji is based in vast waves of alluring oriental per- fumes-sandalwoo and spices. F'uji echoes the great tong of Buddhist and Shinto temple bells, and the tinkle and tank of eastern music. Fuji, picked up and set down among the American Sierrasi would prove herself at once to be an unassimilable alien. But not so Ararat. Ararat could lift her glori- ous crest alongside any sovereign of the solitudes to which we point with pride and be perfectly at home.

Is a Railroad President
 Worth a Large Salary?

@ NICE the railroads of America g will revert to private ownership March 1, there is great deal of dis cussion in financial journals regard ing the salaries of railroad officials and whether or not they will be re- stored to their former basis.
 Before the war, Judge R. s. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific board was the highest paid railroad execu- tive in the country. His salary was $104,104.16 year, although Jacob NJ. Dickinson, former Secretary of War, received $12O, ,732.9O as receiver of the Rock Island railroad.
 Salaries ranging from $20,OO0 to $5O,OO0 a year were not unusual among high officials of our railways, but when the government took con- trol there was a general scaling downward. Director General Hines, for instance, is paid exactly $52,210 a year less than he received as chair man of the Atchison board in 1917, or $25 ,0O0. Regional directors re- ceivs f--- ren fHa -a s4O.OO0 a year

Auditorium Campaign
 To Be a Real Drive

76) IRMINGHAM'S money raising ID drives during the war were -the-top triumphs. Patriotism was the motive and citizens of large means and moderate means were alike generous in their subscrip- tions.
 Since the war ended appeals for money for civic and charity causes have been only partially successful. It has been some time since vigorous drive was undertaken, but the efforts to raise $250,000 as a supplemental fund for the building of the audi torium, originally planned to cost $500, ,000, will be earnest and telling
 The drive will be an enterprise of the Chamber of Commerce and will be under the leadership of Chairman Morris W. Bush 1t will begin on the 1st of March and will continue ten days While $500,0 ,000 would pay for an auditorium of three or four thousand seating capacity and of handsome exterior. what Bir- mingham needs is an edifice capa- ble of seating seven or eight thou sand people, perfect in it's appoint ments and beautiful inside and out. And it is estimated that such a structure would cost $750,000.
 If Birmingham has to fall back on half million dollars, let's have the auditorium, albeit inadequate. But the additional amount can be raised and should be raised-every dollar of it. MT. Bush and R. A. Brown, president of the Chamber of Com merce, are keyed up with enthusiasm. They will fill all public-spirited citi- zens with civic pride and zeal, and when the drive is underway it will gain rapidly in momentum.
 The goal should be reached before the 10th of March. Surely $250,00C by private subscription is not toe much to expect from a city of rict men. And surely, toe, our people vii not be satisfied with an auditorium of ordinary pretentions. We mus match the splendid public halls o1 cities like Cincinnati, Chicago anc Detroit.

 It isn't hard to snare man. fBut an unmarried girl of 2S who has three younger and pretties sisters might as well get herself a cat and prepare to die an old maid.
 We are going too fast these days Many a girl is married for six weeks before she learns what the middle initial in her husbands name stands for
 Things could be worse. Women would howl more than they do if nature hadn t fixed things so that they get their noses red when they weep

for managing groups of lines, al- though they were paid from s50,OOo to $7O,O0O as presidents of single roads.
 The consensus of opinion among financial experts seems to be that the salaries paid to railroad exscu- tives under private ownership were not excessive, in view of the tre- mendous responsibilities they had to bear, the brisk competition among railroads themselves and other large corporations to obtain men of the highest ability and the fact, easily susceptible of proof, that railroad executives are paid less in propor- tion to their capacity and standing than the heads of many other con- cerns.
 When we stop to consider that, even though a railroad president may draw salary of $75, ,000 year, he is at the head of a business that is capitalized at many millions, with an earning capacity that may be several
 millions year, it does not seem so large, after all. To the man who draws $2,0O0 or $3,O0O year, $50,- 900 or $75,000 seems like a great deal of money, but there are thou sands of men whose incomes in the business world range from $100,000 to $1,0O0,00O year.
 An interesting fact brought out by resume of the railroad salary ques- tion in the Literary Digest is the discrepancy in the salaries of rail road executives. Men at the head of dividend-paying lines are, in some cases, paid considerably less than the executives of roads not so prosper ous. Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, received before the war S20,639, while w. A. Wimburn, president of the Central Railway of Georgia, re- ceved $21, 1855; Fairfax Harrison of the Southern was paid $50, 800; s. Davis Warfield, president of the board of directors of the Seaboard Air Line, received $5O,000 a year, and President w j. Harahan of the Seaboard received $40,957.

 Renewed efforts will be made to increase the live stock exhibits. As attractive and educatiye as the cattle
