From the Sun and New York Herald. |MS( HE can't imaglng that Miss Alice w Paul. defending the keeping
 alive the suffrage party, in tended to stir up a hornets nest or a Homeric scandal, but she was guilty of an inadvertance in this gem of rhetoric.
 There have been queens who ruled for years. They were women, I can't see anything astonishing in it. Look at Helen of Troy."
 She might have said Elizabeth or Vic toria of England. Even Catherine of Russia, or Semiramis of Assyria would have been a better name to mention

 New York Times takes Miss Paul up sharply:
 cHelen's one admirable qualification to fame was her undoubted beauty Beyond that her suffragist admirers had best be silent. If Jupiter was her father her own immortality and heartlessness can readily be accounted for She eloped with the guest-friend of her husband children, for the man Paris, who had no redeeming quality save his own good looks. The antis have reminded us of another type of woman of ancient Greece-Penelope--w loved her hus- band her children and her country, who waited decade for her husbands re- turn, who at the distaff and the blow played the part of the good woman. Think of Penelope!"
 Now, Paris may have been untrue to Oerone; he was. sure, a bad psycholo- gist in the golden apple affair, but Homer makes him alternately braggart and brave man. He had other qualities than good looks" Of course. the sec Helen was not a queen after she left Menelaus. If Paris, instead of his older brother had been the leader of that little band of wandering Troaans, he would not have neglected another queen, and Latin students would have missed Eelr JlHSle dpout lhC SSi HiAui'c ASAfiA7'' When Dido found that Aeneas would not come,

 Moralists of the scholarly world have long waived all quibblngs over the Homeric scandals and the Virgilian scandals Not ripple can be stirred pE reviving them. Most. of us prefer to think of Helen without Puritan rancor. Some of us like the jocular version oi 1 her careers most dramatic eplsode' suggested by Charles N.

Sweets Coming High

That sweets will remain high, high CT the coming year than even in 1920, Is indicated in the prices paid the pro- ducers of sugar cane syrup" says John w. Cooke, syrup sales agent
 our people have already engaged their supply of syrup for their mills. We have, for instance, contracted with the sugar cane growers of south Georgia for their crop a s1.50 per gal lon f. o. b. depot platform We must pay the express and freight to mills The price we paid this year is 50 per cent over that which we paid for the 1919 crop. That was $1 per gallon. A good farmer will produce from 20 to 30 gallons of cane juice per acre."

Evil Influence of Trivial
 Songs on American Youth

1W ENNETH s. CLARK, writing in IN Musical America, calls atten- tion to the fact that popular songs are again under fire. They are be- ing "attacked with reference to their influence upon our young people"
 Mir. Clark emphasizes the point that so powerful body as the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs has joined the campaign to combat the danger.
 At the recent biennial convention of the federation he heard the dele gates respond fervently to the de- nunciation of evil popular music by Mrs. Anna Faulkner Oberndorfer, the new chairman, and to her plea that the trivial songs be stamped out.
 John W. Beatie, director of music in the schools of Grand Rapids, de- clares that it is idle to talk about stamping out popular songs," but he saw no reason for teaching them in the public schools.
 There are some wholesome popular songs, such as "Keep the Home Fires Burning" and the "Long, Long Trail" They have come to stay and will ever be inspiring. But the bulk of so-called popular songs are the yeriest rubbish. As to dance music, jazz and ragtime should be relegated to the shades
 Many educators of musical training took part in the discussion touching objectionable songs. Few of them were so extreme as Mrs. Oberndorfer, but all insisted on higher standard for children and the masses.

m HE governor of the federal re-

 At the end of his new term it would not be surprising if he were continued at the head of the board, no matter who is elected to succeed MT. Wilson.
 If the democrats are victorious in November it may be set down as a certainty that Mir. Harding will be again appointed governor. He is

Progress of Bolshevism Menaces Civilization

~ ENERAL vON LUDEN- VI DoRFF's memorandum on bolshevism, recently received in Washington, is probably the sincere opinion of a man who has made war a business. He is about as compe- tent as anyone in Germany to discuss the pernicious propaganda sent out from Russia.
 The statement of General Von Lu- dendorff that all Europe and Asia, as well as America, are menaced by bolshevism coincides with the views expressed by other students of world affairs. Bolshevik successes in the fighting with Poland have brought their armies within striking dista nee of the very heart of Europe. The movement has gained such impetus that the allies have begun to tenn porize with that strange coterie of leaders who, from starving and dis ease-ridden Moscow, have reached out tentacles which are sapping the foun- dations of government in all parts of 4he world.
 The disorganizaton of normal life, as we'll as other reactions of a pro- longed war which cost heavily in money and men, left fertile field to be cultivated by the bolshevik prop agandists. Humanity, in the depths of misery and despair, is apt to catch at straws. The glittering promises ! df bolshevism, which can never be fulfilled, apparently offer way out of the prevalent wretchedness.
 It seems rather paradoxical for a Won Ludendorff to be addressing a plea to the civilized nations to save the very civilization which Germany came SO near to destroying, but for once the enlightened nations of the arth can accept his views.
 Since few of our "reds' were de- >orted and others temporarily si-
 need by federal raids, we don't hear so much of bolshevism in Amer ics, but it is here. It is everywhere. It Jcannot be eradicated overnight.

Growth of Northern
 and Wc5..1w-2 Alabama

HAT no mistake was made in
 S the location of branch of the federal reserve system in Birming- ham is more than established oy the record of that bank.
 In the two years of it's existence the daily average of items and the amount of money represented by them have increased POO per cent. Deposits in the member banks have increased 40 per cent.
 What is especially significant is the fact that the deposits in these sixty-four member banks constitute 40 per cent of the aggregate deposits in the 250 state banks and the 100 national banks of the state. One half of the increase in the deposits of the member banks is credited to the banks of Birmingham.
 The terrftory of the Birmingham branch of the federal reserve system z covers northern and western Ala bama. The remarkable increase in fits volume of business indicates the growing and prosperous character of I the section which it serves.
 The branch bank began with fifty three members, but eleven more have come in and the force handling the increasing business has been al- most doubled. Manager A. E. Walk CT has reason to feel extreme satis- faction in the progress of the bank under his regime.

"Birmin gham reminds me more of Detroit than any other city in the country that I have seen" says Lieut. John P. Smith of the Detroit police de- clues in Birmingham in connection with the New York-Detroit trunk murder mystery.
 Right here, too, want to say a good word for the local detective and been in Birmingham and have seen just what large amount of work they have to do, I want to say they deserve all the prise than can be given them.'

HELEN VS. PENELOPE

will find vast advantage in studying it
 As for Penelope, she might have been a suffragist in these days. Her suitors were the talk of the town, but she be- lieved in good government That may have been the reason why she was so true to Odysseus and little Telemachus in that long wait in rock-bound Ithaca. We know far too little about Penelope.

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM

To make the loafing acre work is
the plan of Otsego county, New York,
which has started campaign to plant
a. forest of 100 acres on the waste
lands in each of the "a townships of
that county.
The plans, says the New York
Times are to develop county system
similar to the city park plan, with it's
harmonized system of connecting
boulevards. The project involves the
development of comprehensive high
way system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tise to the world that the county has
its own forest, owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the fu-
ture generations.
As the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an. offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation of their government from
their forest, having no taxes but this
requires a greater area of forest than
is proposal for Otsego.

PRECAUTIoN is NECESSARY.

There is a movement on foot in
America to furnish food for the
starving children in Germany. 1t may
be perfectly proper to feed the chill
dren, but every precaution should be
taken to keep the gift-food from
going into the outlets of those who
persist in striking and loafing; also
those who are engaged in rioting in
that country. Those who are creating
trouble in that country should change
their ways, go to work and earn
money with which to buy sustenance
for those who are depending upon
them. There were no industrial plants
in Germany destroyed, no towns laid
waste, the country was not devastated
and the people are in better condition
to care for themselves than those in
most any other of the European
countries that were engaged in the
bloody conflict. There is talk of a
general strike in Germany. This will
not encourage people here to con-
tribute to the starving children in
Germany-Free Press.

Discharge Papers
Should be Recorded
EVERY LEGION POST TO URGE
ITS MEMBERS TO THAT
EFFECT.


Franklin D'Olier, National Com
n1ander OF the American Legion today
issued a warning to all ex-service men
in the Legion against the loss of their
discharge papers and urging that they
be recorded.
The following bulletin was sent to
all State Departments and Posts of
The American Legion.
Department Adjutants are urged
to instruct their Department Histori-
ans on the advisability of all ex-ser-
vice men officially recording their
Discharge Papers with the Recorder
of their county
"The desirability and Importance of
every member of the American Lee.
gion conforming with this suggestion
is evidenced by the many instances in
which claims are being made where
the Discharge Papers are either lost
or destroyed.
To provide for this emergency, the
Department Historian should make all
necessary inquiries and obtain full in
formation incidental to recording them
from the offices of the County Re-
| corder
1T would be well to bring to bear
upon the minds of our comrades, that
the official form of Discharge is an
instrument that cannot be duplicated
although it may be possible to obtain
a form in lieu thereof; that although
| it may not be held with any particu-
lar pride today, there will come time
with increasing years, when consid-
cradle amount of sentiment will CEN
ter around the Discharge Paper.
"1n the State of Pennsylvania to-
day, the ex-service man is granted
certain State benefits As time goes
on, there will undoubtedly be further
concessions made by the several
States for the benefit of the men who
served in the World War and their de-
pendents, in which events, if it is i'm
possible for any reason to produce
the original Discharge, means of
sufficient evidence would be furnish
ed for the claim through the record
in the County Recorders office with
