FAME

The snowy heights are far above
 The pleasant hills and valleys; Yet there the winds untrammeled rove And there the sunshine rallies. The way is steep and hard to climb. ~ But that's an old, old story; Who scales those dazzling peaks
 sublime
 Shall tread the paths of glory.

Sound Note of Warning
 Issued to the Poles

RANGE and England are reported J to have issued a warning to Poland not to attempt another inva- sion of Russian territory after clear ing the Polish frontiers of the bol- shevik forces. This is in line with a nott of the same tenor from the Unit ed States.
 The Polish comeback is not the spectacular resuscitation that it might appear to be. French generals aided the Polish forces. American aviators lent their assistance. Modern gunncry made it's appearance in the Polish lines when Warsaw was men, aced. The allies, in one way and another, played a distinct and im- portant part in repelling the in- vaders.
 Following the dictum of President Wilson laid down in the fourteen points, the allies appear, by this time, to have well-absorbed the spirit of territorial integrity. The Wilsonian principle applies alike to small and
  to large states, to the newly freed ones and to the old ones. Neither Greece, nor the Slovakias, nor Poland have been accorded the right of ag- gression.
 Poland invited invasion by Russia and threatened the permanent peace of Europe through that act. Had it's inroads in Russia been allowed to stand, t would have been notice to the world that territorial integrity was no safer now nan before the world var. II is for unate that the first attempt to retarn to the old order proved disastrous. It is also fortunate that this attack came from new nation, because the rebuke Poland received will have far more wide spread effect than had it been one of the ancient dynasties attempt ing to revive it's former tactics.
 Happiest, perhaps, of the effects of the note of warning issued Poland will be that on the mind of the Rus sian masses. Once they sincerely believe the allies mean their national good and will respect their national integrity, and see that others do so, the-- viii probe more deeply into bol- shcvism and ask themselves if it has been worth while.

Made a Convert

While I was in. Montgomery attend ing the state reunion of the Confeder- ate veterans several months ago, I had the opportunity of talking to two vet erans on the subject of equal suffrage" 7" said T. E. Tomlin. Both of these men from the southern part of the state and one stated he was in favor of giv- ing the women the ballot. The other was opposed, as he was of the opinion that the women didn't have any busi- ness voting. The first veteran said to the other. You make me tired. The northern men let their women vote the western men let their women vote, and you know the southern women have just as much sense as the northern and western women have. so why can't we let them voter This argument con- verted the other veteran and he sad he had never thought of it. but would now line up with the suffragists,''

Starting Right


 T was the first woman in Jefferson county to pay my poll tax, and I ex- pect to be the first to register, and one of the first to vote" said Mrs. H. E. Pearce, president of the local Equal Suffrage Association. Some time aga I paid my poll taxes, anticipating that perhaps I would be allowed to vote. It looks like my wish is going to come true. However, my money would not have been lost if I had been denied the ballot, for all poll tax funds go for the benefit of the schools.
 As soon as the registration books are opened I expect to register, and then I will be a full fledged voter I expect this fall to cast my first ballot for the democratic nominees for Presi- dent and Vice President"

Sees Improvement

Birmingham is becoming more dem ocratic in one respect" said Augustus Forrest, chief of the bureau of meat and dairy inspection. "I refer to tho custom that is growing among automo- bile owners to pick up a person stand- ing on street corner waiting for . car
 ''In the past person might stand on suburban street crossing for half an hour and never have an invitation to ride to town in an automobile. Sew eral cars would usually come along with nobody but the driver in them Since the war I believe there is grow ing tendency to pick up the man who is not so fortunate as to own car or does not have one along at that time.
 There is nothing that looks worse to me than to see a person pass in a big passenger car and not offer to pick up a pedestrian, It costs him so little and means much to the other fellow"

IN HOTEL LCBBIESA
 AND ELSEWHERE
Wrong Location

The very name auditorium/s suggests what it is for" said James Bowron. Tt means a place to hear in The auditory capacity of an auditorium building should be the first thought It appears to have been the last thought in the selection of the pro- posed site at a noisy car intersection and alongside a railroad switching yard. I cannot conceive of a more faulty location.
 The location appears to me to have been picked more from a real estate standpoint than from that of an audi torium, a place where one can well hear great singers, speakers and /or- chestras. am not recommending spe- cial sites, but there are many removed from the tumble of noises maintaining in the vicinity of the proposed site. The negro school site on South Eight eenth street is good one. It is on a broad thoroughfare and removed from noise. Wherever it is finally placed, it should be in a neighborhood where noise making is not rampant"

Lumber Situation

From lumber standpoint at least" said J. Mercer Barnett. president of the Barnett Lumber Company, now is certainly the time to build. The lum- Der market now is at low ebb, prices show a sharp decline in all grades However, the market is strengthening and look for a slight advance in the fall. From all I can see. there's little hope of lumber being any cheaper than it is now for the next five years. Fot these reasons, it is quite to the build CTS interest to take advantage of tho low ebb at which the market now finds itself.
 Tn anticipation of a general resump- tion in building within the next siA months, we have recently made sub stantial enlargements and improve ments in our Birmingham yards and plant. mammoth dry kiln has just been installed and we have added new equipment which practically doubles the capacity of our blaming mill. I look for a good business in all build ing material lines during the next five years-it~ will take Birmingham that long to anyways near catch up with her normal building programme"

Blocked Sewers


 T have been occupying a store in the city hall on Nineteenth street around fifteen years" said W. E. Perry, the jeweler, "and having lived through the floods during that time, which every now and then occur at the intersection of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street I can state that the one yester- day afternoon was nearly foot higher than I ever saw before. 1t was the first time.it invaded my store. but yes- terday afternon it covered my floor several inches deep. Now, I am not criticising the street department. for I know it hasn't sufficient funds to do the work properly. but watching close the recent experience of high water. l am of the opinion that while the rainfall was not greater than at sea- sons in the past. the damage came from tho stoppage of the sewers by the im- mense amount of trash that was on the streets. The sewers may be too small. but noticed where the rubbish was cleared away that the water fell with great rapidity."

creative work.
Among Mr.. Velten s numbers were

machine proved a marvellous success
sion of melody. Among Mr.. Young's
numbers was improvisation on Old
Songs" composed by Mr.. Young
himself. The unison was absolutely
perfect, and while the difference in
intensity between the piano and the
recreation was more easily distinguish
ed than in the case of the voice, the
difference seemed to be in intensity
only. The audience was quite as
deeply interested in the piano num-
bers as in any part of the program.
In conclusion, Miss Verlet sang
group of three songs with piano ac-
compartment by Mr.. Young. Two of
the songs, "Flowers and YOU" and
81 Met You, were written and com
posed by Mr.. Young and were very
pleasing both in melody and theme.
the whole evening Mr..
Young endeared himself to the audi

marked musical ability.

she sang the leading coloratura roles
for several years. She records ex-

U. ;. Planes Back From Alaska:
9,OOO-Mile Trip Without Mishap

The four army arplanes which so,
out from Mineola. L. l., July Is for
Nome Alaska, alighted yesterday at
M''chei field, near Mineola, after c,m-
pieteing the round trip by air. Fifty
SIX flying hours were all that were
necessary for each half of the 5000
mile trip. Three of the airplanes
started back from Nome August 25
me other started August 81.
Inlrty-hve airplanes which had been
circiing above Manhattan Watching for
the frst glimpse of the returning trail
breakers, escorted the four De Hayi-
lands to Mitchell Field. The first of

Lieutenant c. H. Crumrine, Sergeant
lanes Long, Lieutenant Clifford R.
Mutt, Lieutenant Eric Nelson and fou,.
more huskies. anu 0u'
Al the men were bronzed and lean
and careworn. For hundreds of miles
they had flown above wilderness so
remote and so rugged that a mishap to
one OF the Liberty motors would have
meant shattered airplane and, prob
ably, the death of its occupants. Time
and again the flyers were separated by
heavy clouds which drove inland from
the Pacific, and an accident at such a
time would have been hope.essly fatal,
There were no mishaps. Landing

up by compass, and proved ADEQUATE
though not commodious. Captain How
ard I. Douglas led this advance party
through the unmapped country over
which his comrades were to fly.
AT times when the aviators de-
scended they broke up an encampment
of Indians, who fed in all directions
as the great birds" swooped down
upon them. One brave who mustered
up courage to return before the air

late summer, and in spite of unguessed
hazards which led the Canadian gov
ernment to characterize the expedition
as hazardous in the extreme, the air
planes encountered not one serious ac-
cident. There were thirty terrifying
seconds when Captain Street discov =

of that time the fire had been ex
