DUMAS COLLABORATION

From the Review.
 Alexandre Dumas had a modest col laborator in his friend Auguste Maquet; though Maquet had share in the com position of Dumas most popular pro- auctions, he did not insist on his name being coupled with that of Dumas on the title page. Only the plays which he drew from the novels were pro- claimed as the joint work of the two. The heirs of Maquet, however, are prouder of his authorship than he was himself. They dem4nd the publication of his name on the title page or Ae Comte de Monte -Cristo' and other novels. and among the heirs of Dumas there are said to be some who are not -averse to this official recognition or the dead partnership. Maquet dieo e,rhteen years after Dumas. The lat- tar,s aeuvre becomes public property Tn 1924. By rendering to Maquet the honor which the Maquetists claim as his due. tne Dumasists retain for eighteen years mere a claim to part of the royai1es which. otherwise. sthey will cease to draw altogether. La vie chere' Will make if hard for them to choose be- tween their ancestors fame and their own purse.

BEES IN ALABAMA
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 June Is is the date named for the opening of the honey harvest in Ala tama. Bee culture is an Alabama in- dustry as old as the state, but there arc numerous signs that it has assumed considerably larger proportions than ever in recent years. Today there arc many men in Alabama whose entire in- come is derived from honey and bee sales. Perhaps thousands of individ- uals keep bees for their private use and amusement. It is mark of distinction for a gentleman to be stung by his own bee and it is altogether honorable and praiseworthy for one to send a little honey to one's neighbor complimentary. This is saying nothing of the vast but unknown output of wild honey" in tbe gathering of which there is much sport. Alabama is well adopted to bee culture. It is a fascinating business even where it is not very profitable. but it is profitable to him who under stands bees.

 The kindest fwomen, Mrs Ward never suffered fools gladly. In her early mar ried days at Oxford, she was center Of a group of intelectuals.

But she me1lowed greatly as she grew older and this mel lowness was never more. apparent than on that spring Sunday, in the tenderness which she showed to her own family, her passion for the flowers in her own fam fly, her passion for the flowers in her own beautiful home, her pride in har son, and her fondness for little yappdn9 Pcmeranians all the world over, took Hb- critics under her august protection. which did not make for his general popularity. see her now, wearing a long cloak. sweeping, stately, across the wide lawn to greet her friends, her face alight and the dark, hawk-like features losing some thing of their keenness in the welcoming smile.

 1N ROM the truly great, Mrs. Ward
 TJ would take any contradiction, S mind leaping to mind. But let a lesser personality attempt to defame one of her idols-and there were many of them-and the lesser personality was not long in regretting his temerity. She could not even bear reflections on minor points, such as dress or bearing. Any one whom she had once canonized was, once for all, perfect-to be worshipped as she worshipped them. The same char acteristic applied equally to causes. She could tolerate the point of view of her peer, but she simply could not bear the differing point of view of any lesser leht This sense of rightness and her power of expression made her for rflidable antagonist.
 My pleasantest memory of Mrs. Ward dates back to the spring before the war a Sunday in her country house at Stocks. It was day of fitful sunshine. Purple hyacinths scented the air and in the copse near the house, daffodils bloomed, thousands of them, their yellow heads swept by the breeze. Patches of sunlight flecked the smooth lawn.

THE SLANG OF POLITICS

just how long ago 'boss," derived from the Dutch-English speech in South Af- rica shares it with us-took no political meaning. It is clear that it did so before "boodle," a word from the same source.
 Boom" is one of the few terms whose exact moment of birth We know-it ap- peared in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat in 1878, and it's inventor has told how he was struck by the likeness of Grants rising popularity to what pilots called a booming river.
 The word ''poI1' for voting place is used wherever Anglo-Saxons vote, but Americans nearly always use it in the plural, Britons often in the singular.

THAKING the wind completely out U of Hiram Johnson's sails and leaving his fellow-conspirator, Borah, standing figuratively with one foot
 in the air and his arm raised in a gesture of defiance, astute republican politicians at Chicago adopted a League of Nations plank.
 All possibility of a break in the republican party vanished, after that memorable night session in the Black stone hotel, where the master minds of the party grappled with the most
 serious problem it has to face in the coming presidential election.
 As the result of their efforts a plank was drawn up which is designed

Fments that are translated in the prod ucts of the steel mills. These re- quirements are as basic as they are belated and acutely pressing in their need.
 What this steel expert says of the steel situation in general applies with special force to Birmingham, be- cause this point is not only well sit uated for the domestic trade, but for the export also.
 If salvation were as assured as the stability of the steel trade fol two years to come, there would be no call for revivals.

Let's Have a Drive
 For the Auditorium

w we need such building, or only desire to talk about it?
 No civic edifice is so much needed. We have been "agitating" for several years. While something has been done-a half million dollars of bonds were voted last August; the bonds have been sold and the money is in bank-the site has not been an- nounced and therefore ground has not been broken.
 Morris W. Bush, with commendable public spirit, is making campaign for additional funds, and is meeting with some success. It is hoped to raise quarter of a million dollars to supplement the city's five hundred thousand dollars.
 But why not speed up so far as the selecting of site goes and drawing of plans is concerned? Six months will be required to get ready and year and half will be needed to complete the building. That would bring us to the middle of the summer of 1922.
 Will we have an auditorium in a l, year and a half from next January !? Not at the rate we are proceeding. Let's go ahead without further de- lay.

Barn Building

High cost of building material is causing some curious examples of econ omy in that line" says c. s. Hunter.
 Chief among these is the purchasing g of ready-built houses and moving them, sometimes across the street. and in some cases as far as block.
 The office of the building inspector ls the scene of almost daily requests for permits to move dwellings. Another familiar request Is for a permit for a barn, but under the questions of the clerk it is evident that the person in- tends to live in the building. Then 1t IS revealed that the building is to be barn, but will be used as a residence until the cost of material is reduced enough to permit the erection of a house."

The Curse of Ignorance
 Is Doing Things Wrong

1f1HE foundation of right conduct
 J is right thinking.
 The foundation of right thinking is knowledge.
 An ignorant people cannot act right, because it does not think right. It does not know what is right and what is wrong; what is of benefit and what will work harm.
 When the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution come before the peo- pie of Birmingham on next Monday with their Flag day appeal for funds with which to help wipe out illiteracy in Alabama, they will be asking Ala bamians to help themselves estab- fish the kind of citizenship that will ensure stable government, a higher standard of living, superior conduct of farm and factory and prosperity.
 Prosperity cannot come without do- ing things right. Things will not be done right by the ignorant. They frequently do the exact opposite of the right thing with profound and blinded conviction that they are right
 Alabama has fallen from forty-fifth state in the column of education ln 1890 to forty-eighth. This is trag- edy.
 It is true that the state, the coun- ties and the cities in the past few years have awakened to the necessity of lifting this shame and progress will be more rapid from now on. It should, however, be remembered that other states and other municipalities, which had the start, do not propose to surrender the leadership.
 A donation to reduce illiteracy is an investment that will yield many hundredfold, not only to the direct beneficiaries, but eventually to the donors as we'll.

Prolonged Prosperity
 In the Steel Trade

f6NHE president of one of the larg- U est steel corporations is quoted as saying:
 "With the needs of the railroads, together with construction work pend- ing, the steel industry is assured ac- tivity for the next two years at least.
 'sEurope is down to 60 per cent of pre-war capacity and the demand for steel for export will be large.
 "To bring back the railroads to normal and make up the loss sus- tained during the war, we will need all our present steel capacity for a prolonged period"
 Very few and very simple things constitute the bedrock of industry. First come the farms with the prod ucts of nature. Then come the hab- itations of men. Third in import  ance is the means by which men in- tercommunicate and exchange one product for the other. That is trans portation.
 Steel is required for all the under lying necessities; for tractors, blows and hoes for the farm; for nails, wire and beams for homes, store houses and large office and factory structures; for the locomotives and cars and the car wheels and rails and bridges that enter into the transpor- tation scheme.
