Demand for Dwellings in
 and About Birmingham

WLW HILE there has been much ac-
 w tivity in the building trades in the Birmingham district within the past twelve months, the scarcity of dwelling houses is as marked as ever.
 In central Birmingham many stores and other mercantile buildings have been erected, and in outlying blocks the garage is having the right of way. In industrial sections vast inl- provements are being made. All these things are needed, but we need also hundreds of additional dwellings.
 One fact that keeps up to the high cost of living is the shortage of roo h. ing houses and tenement property.
 It is hoped that the coming spring will witness 6 great rush in home building.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-23

previously in Russia; the situation of affairs in the near east, the plight of Austria Hungary, the menacing attitude of the Turk, the growing power of Japan and the dejection in France and England. During the eight months consumed in wrangling over the peace treaty, who can say how much further Europe has deteri- orated, how much public sentiment has changed, to what extent hope has yielded to despair?
 The league of nations, designed to promote the true brotherhood of man, may soon be regarded abroad as a joke. If so, the responsibility will not rest on the American reo- pie. A handful of men in Wash;ng- ton will have made shipwreck of the greatest humanitarian project ever undertaken.

Urban Population
 Continues to Grow

WH1LE the eensuses of cities thus
 WV far announced do not show as large increase as rule, as the 1910 census, they are yet too large for the good of the country. All, large growth of the big cities means a decrease in the rural population.
 Industrial demands in manufactur- ing centers draw on the agricultural communities, and while the cities boom, the farmer has suffered from the shortage of labor.
 The only thing that offsets the scarcity of labor in the country is labor saving machines. The tractor blow does the work of several men Other improved machinery causes g large saving.
 Alabama farmers have progressed along modern lines, but they must speed up from now on. This should be great tractor year. It is the only way that we can make big crops regardless of farm laborers.

 Prohibition and the activities of the
 recently formed Bimini Bay Rod and Gun Club have rescued the tiny coral isle from an oblivion so deep that in some dictionaries Bimini Is defined as 'mythologieal term for Eden" The northwesternmos outpost of the Bahamas, Bimini lies 65 miles almost due east across the gulf stream from
 Miami. Fla. Travelling by seaplane~ at ninety miles an hour it thus takes only
 40 minutes to step from American to British soil, from dryness to wetness. seaplane with a competent pilot
 and seating capacity of six can be hired at any hour at Miami. Although the air route is the one favored by the
 parehed, impatient members of the Bi- l mini Club, the island is within easy cruising distance of Miami, due to the northeastern movement of the gulf stream. and the beauties of the sur rounding waters can perhaps be bet ter appreciated by this slower method of approach.
 From the deck of a shin one may view the marine gardens which first en-
 chant the visitor to Bimini. For miles

 waters characteristically show no fear of boats.
 The island, "a jewelled father on a summer sea, IS a quaint little coral dot "a few miles long and a quarter of a
 mile wide. quite covered with clusters or cocoanut palms and tropical plants, its tallest headland rising but few rect above the surface of the old At lantic"
 To this description found in the mar rative, Devil Fishing In the Gulf stream" oy John Oliver La Gorce, must

WHY UNDERWOOD HAS WON

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 0RIE gentlemen who are following
 Rev. Brooks Lawrence in his vari-
 0 ous schemes to eliminate Judge S. D. weakley from the race for the Sem ate against Senator Underwood are labor ing under delusion; their plan is based upon the assumption that if Judge Weak ley is hpmiliated by being forced to withdraw. Senator Underwood can be defeated by L. B. Musgrove.
 But Senator Underwood is no minority candidate. It is beyond possibility that any one candidate could defeat him; the campaign has assumed definite form and substance. There can be now no possible upset that would even bring the election O. Senator Underwood in doubt. The zeal ous gentlemen who have been accustomed to making shrewd moves on the political chess board. forget that scheming Is un- availing in a campaign in which the over whelming mass of the voters of Alabama have definitely made up their minds.
 The campaign now has six weeks to run. It has been fin progress for more than a year. For, as far back as the legislative session of January, 1919, both Mr. Musgrove and Judge Weakley were avowed candidates for the senator ship. Between the January and the July sessions MT. Musgrove and his ''volun- teer workers" were extremely active, more active perhaps than they have been at any time since Mir Musgrove at tended the July session of the legislature. and sought to strengthen the organiza- ton throughout Alabama which he was forming. It was an open secret that Judge Weakley was also candidate: he told his friends quite frankly that he would make the race. and he did what he could that far back to assemble and set in motion his political resources-
 Now with primary day only six weeks off. it is clear to every informed man that the voters of Alabama have correct iy gauged the statesmanship of Senator Underwood, and that they are determined to return him to the Senate where he has shed so much luster upon the state and people of Alabama Senator Underwood

 clubs dock has been completed and yachts are lying at anchor there in fif-. teen feet of water. The beautiful little
 landlocked harbor affords a safe haven for vessels of not too great draft and during the last hurricane three schoon- CTS rode there and suffered no damage. Bimini has not known such activity since civil war times. when. in com
 pany with Nassau and the rest of the
 Bahamas, it served as port of call for southern blockade runners. The gov-g ernment of Bimini is in the hands of the port officer, an Englishman, who also serves as the crown commissioner. police magistrate, customs collector
 and consular official for examination of passports, as we'll as physician and school teacher to the islands inhabi-
 tants.
 As 1t is possible to travel to Bimini on an application for a passport, those who have become members of the Bi- mini Club since the resignation of MT. Lansing are not worrying about the de-
 lay in the Senate's confirmation of Bain-
 bridge Colby. What does sometimes cause difficulty is members income tax receipt.
 The waters off Bimini abound in game to invite the skill of the inland angler, accustomed to scorn deep sea fishing in the north. According to Capt. Charles H. Thompson of Miami. authority on the fish of the east coast of Florida. there are 500 varieties of fish in the gulf stream between Miami and Key West. Of moonlight in connection with Bi- mini 1t is nowadays impossible to
 speak. Some one is sure to remark in the midst of one's eloquence, '-The
 moon rose over Bimini and she was full"

Americans Becoming
 Nation of Sportsmen

II T is predicted that 1920 will be 1 the greatest year for sports America has ever known. Never be- fore has there been such widespread activity in athletics. Baseball will, of course, remain supreme. It is hard to see how it could be any more pop ular than it has been in the past, but other sports are receiving a .e- markable impetus.
 Various reasons are advanced for the increased popularity of athletics. The war, which is given the credit or the blame for nearly everything that has happened in the past five years, is believed to have created a more universal taste for sports. Thousands of clerks, accountants ard young business and professional men who had been leading sedentary lives were taught the value of physical training. Naturally they began to take a keener interest in baseball, football, boxing and wrestling. There was great rivalry among the various units of the army and navy. Some championship material was prod lced. Most of the country's famous athletes were in one or the other branch of service. They did much to advance athletics. They made expert trainers
 Returning to private life, the young men who constituted the na- tional army and large part of the navy's personnel brought back love for athletics which many of them had not previously possessed. They are to be found taking part in or at- tending all kinds of athletic contests. Professional boxers and wrestlers ere reaping a harvest, while the ranks of amateurs are crowded with husky youngsters eager to make their mark in the world.
 Prohibition is given due credit for the renewed interest in sports. Healthful exercise has taken the place of dissipation. Boxing, wres- ting, sprinting, bowling, tennis, the old reliable golf, and all the other games that might be mentioned are infinitely better for tho nations young manhood than the obsolete pastime of trying to drink the coun- try dry.

A bomb composed of sneezing, gas mixed with chloroform Is suggested for police departments by Baltimore scientist. That would make the capture of a des- perate criminal. barricaded in house, comparatively easy. A bomb tossed in would first make him sneeze and give himself away. the chioroform would put him to sleep and he could be quickly bundled into the wagon.

From the SyTACuS6 JOuTHdI'
 I've seen the rapid transit system to the beaches at St. Augustine. The motive power is one white horse-on the job six years-who draws the car by platform built on the side, on which the driver stands. The ear looks like an exaggerated milk wagon of the vintage of the early '7os. The cal doesn't have to turn around at the end of the line--it's the horse that turns around.

LEvIATHAN NEEDS BIG DOCK

From ShlpplHg.
 America, 1t seems, with all her prog ress in shipbuilding, has no dock on the Atlantic coast suitable for repair ing a vessel like the Leviathan or the Imperator. When the Leviathan need ed overhauling she had to be sent to Liverpool to the big Gladstone dock Even there it was necessary to wait for the new and the full moon to dock and unlock her, as the highest t1de was required to boat her over the sill" The dock at Norfolk, Va. it seems, is big enough to float the Le- viathan, but the channel leading to 1t will not permit her passage.
