Lower Shoe Prices

Shoes for fall delivery have been marked down." says Charles M. Camp bell shoe salesman. Some of the largest manufacturers have instructed their Birmingham representatives to quote 50 cents to s1.5o pair reduc- ton on fall deliveries. This reduction, to my knowledge, has applied retro actively to deliveries as early as May 15.
 All purchases made after June get the reduction and all fall deliveries will get it. This means from s6 to SIS a dozen and is considerable when it is all footed up.
 My opinion is that there will be a further reduction in January, but none until then. 1 do not expect any drastic reductions, and I am all the more sure of this because the upward process has been stopped before it got too far.
 The federal reserve board appears to be working out it's system with good results. It was better to start a gradual process than to work up to the breaking point. As 1t is, re- adjustment is proceeding along such gentle lines that none should be hurt

LIKE M,LuKE SAYS

Funny how year or two of mar risd lie will change chicken into an old hen.
 If you want to get your wife's goat just tell her that her snoring kept
 you awake all night. When woman gets into store to buy something for 50 cents she first examines all the $50 articles in the place.
 It Is a waste of time to compliments
 girl on her small feet. She'll smile carelessly and inform you that the shoes che is wearing are old ones and mile too big for her. Talking atort biting off your nose to spite yonr face, the fellow who vioted dry because whisky was raised from 10 to l5 cents per snort is now paying 75 cents shot for liquor. At IT she expects 22-room house with a garage. Bur at 27 she is glad to get a Broom flat on the top floor Many wife who never gets kind work from her husband at home would
 be surprised if she could hear him bragging about he, when he Is away from home.
 lot of husbands seem to be stick ing around on earth for spite just to
 keen their wives from having some

set up his household goods, turns paler than usual and feels a weak ening of the knees when an agent blandly informs him what they cost? :? The situation in Birmingham is du- plicated in many other American cities. A really desirable apartment for seventy-five dollars month is regarded as bargain.
 Governor Coolidge is a remarkable character in several respects, but so far as house rent is concerned he is truly lone in a million" Perhaps the thrift of his New England an- cestors, plus the fact that he lives in a comparatively small town, which had a population of little over eighteen thousand in the last cen sus, explains an otherwise inexplic- able matter.
 It is safe to assume that there is not another citizen in America of equal prominence who pays as little house rent as Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts.

Wants Pershing

General Pershing would be the best bet of the democratic party" says Lon Spivey, now that the republicans have passed up their military candidate ant chosen another.
 Every war we have had so far has furnished us with a President and l believe that history will repeat itself in this case. We had George Wash ington. Zachary Taylor, William Henry Harrison, Andrew Jackson, U. s. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. Now that we can't have Wood then we should have Pershing. I believe he would carry the country by storm as he carried the trenches of the Germans and that he would be the right man to conduct us through the afterwar problems to peace"

Ignorance the Fountain
 Source of Lawlessness

~ ITIZENS of a precinct in lower NJ Jefferson have decided that the dipping vat must remain and have banded themselves together for its preservation.
 A Dothan news item says vat de- stroyers are being fined one hundred dollars and sentenced to three months on the roads.
 If the farmers of a neighborhood were to discover a person who had taken money out of their pockets they would have that person arrested, incarcerated and convicted of a felony.
 The men of community who de- stroy dipping vat are taking money out of the pockets of their neighbors. TKe dipping vat was built at their expense, and when destroyed, will be rebuilt at their expense. Dip ping vats are paid for out of the public treasury and the public treas ury consists of the money raised by taxation.
 When this realization becomes in- stinctive and automatic, vat dynamit- ing will cease.
 The most distressing angle of the practice lies in it's contempt of law and the stiffness of that attempt con- sists of its futility. The state of Alabama is somewhat larger than any man. No one can successfully flout it very long.
 Trace it all back to ignorance. It is the ignorant man who thinks he knows more than the trained expert who has evolved the truth by patient and arduous research.
 But it requires no great learning to sense loss out of ones pocket by the destruction of public property built at public expense and replace able only out of the same fund.

Extraordinary Luck
 of Calvin Coolidge

.Nov. CALVIN COOLIDGE of M Massachusetts is a fortunate man. The fact that he was noni- mated for the vice presidency by the republican party becomes minor consideration when we learn that he pays thirty-two dollars a month house rent.
 A Boston paper incorrectly stated that Governor Coolidge paid thirty five dollars a month for the half house which he occupies in North hampton. Fearful, as he explained, that his landlord might be tempted to make his rent square with the newspaper statement, he hastened to give the correct amount.
 Thrice blessed is any man now adays, whether he is governor of great Stdte anu vice preSluenClal nominee, or a humble toiler in the ranks, who can rent an apartment fit to live in for only thirty-two dol lars month. It is true that Gov ernor Coolidge does not occupy . whole house, but there are tiny apartments renting at prices rang ing from one hundred to one hun dred and fifty dollars month.
 Is it any wonder that "white col lar" man, viewing these apartments with an idea of obtaining a place to

 Important political conclusions ma be drawn from this trick hat. Brothe Bryan is offending the hat check boys hence. he does not intend to run fo Pl esident.

Wearing Away of
 Pittsburg Plus Rate

1FH Truscon Steel Company, larg- 0 est fabricator of standard steel buildings and steel building products in the United States and enjoying a large export trade, has located a large warehouse, sales agency and distributing business with Birming- ham as the center.
 Asked why this concern had come to Birmingham, the reply by a rep resentative was about this:
 'Easy to answer. Birmingham manufactures the steel which we use in our fabrications.
 Birmingham is the natural dis tributing point of our products for the entire south, the Pacific coast and as far north as the Ohio river, as well as export"
 For a like reason Henry L. Brit tain located the Birmingham Steel Corporation here. It first fabricated steel shapes for ships; now it has all it can do fabricating steel for bridges and office buildings.
 Down at the other end of town the Ingalls, Iron Works is building steel containers for the Warrior and fabricating steel structures for Cuban sugar grinding houses.

Demand for Books

Even more people came to the library yesterday and asked for cer- tain books that were mentioned in the story about popular authors that was carried in The Age-Herald the other morning." said Miss Lida Mae Chap man of the central library yesterday.
 This is usually the case whenever anything is said about certain book being popular, why people just swarm to the library and call for it when maybe at the time there are dozen or more that have already asked for it to be held for them. But then it also shows that people are also reading the newspapers which in itself is a liberal education"

 'Dr. Hobbs. ever since his arrival in Birmingham, was under a handicap from his physical condition, yet he went bravely ahead and not only did the work of the church, but took upon himself large burdens for the denomi- nation, being most active in the $75,- 000,000 campaign. in the education board and as chairman of the hospital committee.

THEATRE AUDIENCES

Why asks Guy Bates Post, the

 be generously applauded in Chicago.
 ana fail to strike a single responsive
 chord in the audience in Los Angeles?
 This was one of the recurring queries of many seasons.
 'In returning to Chicago again and audiences there with much interest. A deep and real civic pride. determina- ton to appreciate the artistic for fear that they should be judged lacking. gave to Chicago audiences rare dis elimination. The run of The Mas auerader' of year in New York was Justified in Chicago, where the audi ence gasped in appreciation or the third act and thundered it's applause. In contrast to this. the same scene presented in Santa Barbara. Cal, where the audience simply warmed the cookies of the heart by Its kind and appreciative sense, there was not a sound when the curtain fell on the big
 scene. The silence was resentful. Big. vlrile, gay, soft-streaming California didn't like it, didn't care for its nor
 bid clements 1o matter how good the acting. the picture found no re- sponsive chord in their souls.
 This illustrates the peculiar quality of New York audiences that makes ac- tors unneeded. The chief quality is, that no New York audience is the same. And, audiences in other states have a special psychology which an actor on the road discovers. He becomes conscious. convinced. that what an audience in Iowa likes. is not what an audience in San Francisco likes. Now. tho New York audience is usually a
 composite of the national audience. not kalf of them are New Workers. It Is representative national audience. The bride and groom from Ohio have the orchestra chairs beside the two oil men up from Texas to spend their new wealth. Colorado sits beside Virginia.

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune. IT'S FUNNY how things work in this II world Take the case of the man S who owns a house in which it has pleased some one to commit a murder, or suicide, or other crime that has brought the place into unpleasant mo- toriety. In nearly every instance the owner is supremely disgusted with the happening and finds the stigma attached to the building a very serious disadvan- tage when pointing out it's qualities to prospective tenants. Indeed, there are severe laws on many statute books pun ishing the man who lbels property by circulating fictions regarding it's crim- inal record.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

SIMMERING Let poets sing their songs of June, We find it rather hot And only bent on keeping cool. Seek out a shady spot There's joy beneath a whirling fan, But tempered by the thought That this is one of fifty ways A summer cold is caught A lemonade may serve to stay A not exacting thirst, Though stuff erstwhile in schooners sold To many minds comes first. shower bath will bring relief, A fact you can't gainsay. Yet we who must our tasks perform Can't finger there all day. The poets may be thrilled by June, But they're a feelxless lot; We dream of snow and only know The world is blazing hot.
