City of Bessemer
 Is Making Strides

ID BIRMINGHAM recognizes with lO pride and pleasure the growth of Bessemer, for what of good comes to Bessemer or to Birmingham counts for the good of the other.
 Bessemer's population shows an in- crease of six hundred and twenty over that of two years ago. The total of six thousand six hundred and ten suggests a population of twenty two thousand. If this is borne out in the forthcoming census enumeration of the Marvel City, it will stand far ahead of other contestants for fourth place in Alabama.
 The building of two hundred and sixty thousand dollars worth of paved streets, for which bonds have been voted will add to the attractiveness of the city and to it's industrial and commercial prestige.
 The new paved road between Bir- mingham and Bessemer will serve to bring the two cities into closer rela- tions and these relations will grow more and more cordial by reason of more frequent and intimate contact.
 What benefits one part of Jeffer- son county benefits every other part. What benefits one portion of the state benefits all. This is the philosophy that Alabamians can profitably as- simulate and apply.

NED BRACE TALKS AGAIN ABOUT COWS AND
 PIGS BUT MAINLY ABOUT STREET PAVING

nobody will be able to get to itunless they walk.
 l asked John Done1son the other day about why there was such bad pavins about Birmingham. He would not crit-t icize the other fellows paving, but said the roads l referred to as being so good in Oregon were warrenite- -Bitu- lithic construction reconstructed on macadam base. He said he was espe- cial1y proud of Highland avenue in this old gravel base, which is more than fifteen years old.
 He writes me that "fn view sf efr- large amount of publicity that has recently been given Jefferson coun- tvs road programme and the state ment recently in the local press to the effect that the bids re- ceived by Jefferson county on War renite- bitulithic were 90 cents out of line was not borne out by the facts, as the advisory engineers, who have spent life time studying pavements and road construction, recommended War renite bitulithic construction the same as Highland avenue, In this city and the hundreds of miles you saw in Ore- gon and California at an average price of $2.67 per square yard, against the advisory committees report and recom- mendations of aspahlt pavement at s3.76 per square yard makes differ ence in favor of Warrenite bitulithio construction of s1.o9 per square yard"
 Naturally the writer is not a road engineer, but it is manifest to every one that the people who are paying for the street paving hereabouts should get something lasting for their money.
 Every citizen and property owner should keep an eye on the paving which is now under construction and that which is to be done in future.

Demand For Labor

F"The activities of the city employ nent bureau have been considerably enlarged since its consolidation with the federal bureau" said H. E. Oliver, manager. We are endeavoring to get the large industrial concerns to CO., operate with us by letting us know their wants. In this way we can be an asset both to the man looking for a job and the concern needing labor.
 We are getting a large number of applications for work at present. We usually manage to find the applicant a job of some kind. The demand for labor at Muscle Shoals has been rather steady all along. We now have calls for a number of male stenographers, and find it hard to secure them. We take no stock in either unionism or non-unionism. We place a man with out reference to his affiliations"

 saw another evidence of worthless paving as I drove out to the Birming- ham Packing Company yesterday, go- ing out Twenty-sixth street. From Norwood over to the packing house in North Birmingha the street is broken up in many places like an egg shell road
 But the prize breaks of Birmingham are over in Mountain Terrace. It seems that Altamont road, up on top of rNeu THOuHtdlH, Dy SOlOn JdcODS resi- dence and the John Caldwell house, which John Raul has recently pur- chased, is being paved anew. Tremen- dous trucks are hauling from 5000 to 5000 pounds of slag at load up there to make the foundation for this Alta mont road. In going up over the paw ing of Mountain Terrace near the homes of oscar Wells and Dr. Ali Wal ker they are simply grinding the street paving to pieces. These trucks have sunk through and cut the pavement into thousands of fragments.
 In other words, to pave Altamont road the streets leading to it are being absolutely ruined. showing conclusively that the pavements laid in that section of the city will not stand heavy traf- fic.
 Of course, Altamont road will be lovely when it is paved. but apparently

It Is a safe bet that a woman has more gold in her mouth than she has in her purse.
 If some men managed to make $50 per week their wives would see to it that they owed $1 per week to each of fifty installment houses.
 The reason Mother knows better than Daughter the kind of man Daughter should select for a husband is becapse when Mother was selecting one for herself she landed a rimless cipher.
 It would help some if man would hand out S for groceries at home as cheerfully as he hands out $15 for a dinner when he is away from home.
 People might love their neighbors more if their neighbors used as much oil on the lawn mower as they do on the flivver.
 A girl will spend six months propos- ing to a fellow. And then the poor boob will feel ,overjoyed because she accepted him.
 A married man doesn't mind facing the music when he gets home late. It is listening to it that jars him.
 And there is no sense in saying that girl is untidy just because her shoe lace is united.
 Patience may be Virtue in Illus band. But in Wife it is Necessity.
 The eighth wonder of the world Is how a woman can manage to wear a plush coat on July day and look chilly.
 After a man has been married a while he knows that, when his wife is wear ing a rag around her head she is also wearing a Erouch.
 There comes a time in almost every mans life when he is crazy to get mar ried. But he doesn't realize it until after it has happened.
