Constantine Recalled
 By a Popular Vote

1.-THE exiled 'Grecian king, on the
 l eve of his return to Greece, says he is pleased with the fact that he comes back on the invitation of majority vote of the people of his country cast in popular election. Of that he has reason to be proud.
 At the same time he voices the good will to the allies and the United States, the impartial attitude of Amer ica having been especially gratify- ing.
 If the Greeks wanted Constantine back, they had the right to recall him. The League of Nations was founded on the principle of autonomy of nations, large and small. To deny nations any choice in the form of their government is scarcely compatible with that principle.
 The thinking world outside of reece and not affected by her atti- tude in this matter inclines to the opinion that Greece has made a mis- take in turning down the man who first in her 45O years of struggle against the Turk placed her in large figures on the international map. On the other hand, Greece, like America, has doubtless felt the strain of her larger orbit of influence. That is per- haps the reason for the retirement of venizelos.
 Constantine has doubtless profited by the lessons of the war. If he had pro- German proclivities four or five years ago, he may with very good conscience have sincerely disposed of them.

F. O. Sayings Club

The savings department of the postoffice is acting as a Christmas savings club for the people of Bir- mingham this year." said Ed Norman, assistast postmaster, yesterday, ''as many people who started buying thrift stamps severao months ago are now cashing them out for Christmas.
 The postoffice department requires |l0 days notice before any one can cash their stamps and we have been busy during the last few days receiv- ing and recording these notices. h. dications are that hundreds of people will have considerable more money to spend for Christmas presents this year simply because they had foresight enough to invest their extra change in thrift and war savings stamps sey- eral months ago."

Anarchists 4 From Spain
 Are Coming to America


 Are Coming to America T YER since the American navy N knocked the Spanish navy into a cooked hat and Richmond Pearson Hobson was osculated into obscurity, the American people have had kindly feeling toward Spain. It is easy to forgive a beaten foe.
 But if Representative Knutson of Minnesota has the correct information, Spain has been trying to take ad- vantage of our tolerance in the mat ter of immigration. MT. Knutson told the House that he was willing to state on my reputation as member of the House that foreign governments are financing the movement of radi- calls from several countries in Europe, moving them over here." He declared that while immigration from Spain was practically unknown before the war, at Ellis Island recently he saw 1000 Spanish immigrants who had ar rived in one day. "Spain is a seething masS of anarchv " ho cold UorJ that government is gathering these anarch- ists up and dumping them on us" No one can blame Spain for want ing to get rid of her undesirables, but she isn't playing fair by sending them to us.

Should Step Aside

Many people in Birmingham do not seem to know that sidewalks were in- tended for people to walk on," said W. M Bass. "It seems that there are still large number of people around this city who insist on standing in the mid dle of the sidewalk, even in the busy downtown district to hold small size conventions and conferences.
 This puts everybody who is going along about their business to the in convenience of making detour around them, or stepping off the sidewalk alto gether. Persons should be more con- siderate of other people, in my opinion, and if they wish to talk to their friends they should have the propriety to step to one side or into building to hold their short conferences. social gossip or religious and political discussions

Quite a Difference

Christmas shoppers should have no trouble in finding what they want in the department stores in Birmingham this season." says Miss Alice Weaver, for l think every department store in town has special toy and gift depart ment. with an unusually large stock on display.
 What difference it must be or rather seem to our parents who, when they were children, would have been delighted to get even one of the beaIti- ful toys which are given to children in large numbers these days. I often wonder if children don't receive more than they know how to be thankful for, and again I wonder if it wouldn't do them good if it were possible, to have them live year or two during the times when our parents were chil- |dren."

Demopolis Is Next to
 Have Port Facilities

f1dVe \ oTC dCltlIISS
 o PLUCKY town is Demopolis on AA the lower Warrior. It must have some of the spirit left of the French refugees, who came after the revolution and planted their vines and fig trees there. Demopolis is already on the river so far as loca- tion is concerned, and is bringing in coal and shipping cement.
 But Demopolis wanted real wharf, with terminals such as have been placed at Tuscaloosa, Cordova and the Port of Birmingham. Demopolis did not wait on Uncle Sam to seek her out and do it alL Her business men got together and in a short time they had raised a purse of $15,000 and secured title to the river front necessary as site for the terminal.
 The federal government has been offered this money and the site free and the war department has sent for the abstract of title to the land. This indicates that the government will appropriate the necessary money and that Demopolis will realize her dream of being another port on the Warrior.
 The spirit of self-help is travelling all up and down the Warrior. It is doing everyone engaged in it much good. It is making outsiders hearken to Alabama's legitimate claims on ; their attention as a fertile field for urSsc.sble investments.

Margaret thought and thought. and finally decided that she would draw a picture of a newsboy hollering, 'Age-Herald extra! All about the Doll Bazar.' Because, as she expressed it, The AgeHerald very rare rarely gets out extras and the pos- ter will be sure to be noticed, and com mented upon

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
The Widows Mite

There have been some touching Anti Tuberculosis association campaign during the past few days" said Mrs. R. W. Lane, who is handling much of the office work for the allied armies. "To- day a lady from East Lake came in and said she wanted to give $3 to the cause, all that she could spare. out of her mea- ger savings.
 'She is the mother of eight children and is supporting herself and her fam fly. Her husband had died some years ago from tuberculosis, leaving eight children, all of them small and one an infant in arms. They had not a penny, and the Tuberculosis association had taken charge of them.
 All of the children were infected with the disease before her husband died and as soon as the association found them they took them to the in firmary. Tn eoldest child, a girl IA years of age, was already so far gone that she died within four days from the disease.
 -Four of the children were kept in the hospital until they fully recovered and were now strong and healthy. An other child. now years old, is still in the infirmary, but has recovered and will soon be discharged well child. The infant child, which also had the disease, is now as fine a specimen of babyhood as could be found, although. 1t was in a terribly emaciated condition when taken to the infimary"
