It is well for Amer lea to know the situation and to prepare to n,eet conditions which the German peo- ple are attempting to bring about.

COLOR OF MOBILE BAY

cloud slot, get the same effect of color. From the pines behind the headlands, later in the summer when the green water Is thoroughly at home in the basin of the bay, it is as blue as Maxfield Parrish ever painted.
 At night the bay is purple. that is, on starry night. One sees 1t (from the headlands noted) rise perpendicularly like painted canvas, with Mobile, a chain of stars, strung high on the invisible horizon.
 At other times 1t may be gray or silver, or black with the moving shadows of im- minent clouds. On fair days, one sees upon it's surface far out, a tiny triangular sail. gray as dust, but in the sun trans formed by the magic of the bay into flash of purest white.

Housing the Soldiers

Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire is de- termined that the visiting Rainbow veterans. who are coming here in July. shall be comfortably housed. He is father of the slogan. Take Home a Soldier" which has already proven popular. He has still another plan. He said:
 "We could comfortably house several hundred soldiers in the frame buildings contiguous to the Hillman hospital and medical college building. They are well situated and are large and airy. With a nice cot in there any sol- dier would enjoy a good nights rest
 "The suggestion of barracks would be an additional pleasure by its smack of former experience. I have no doubt we could fix up these quarters so that they would prove most desirable and pleasant"

Testing Qualities
 Of Dairy Cattle

TIT is encouraging to the dairy in- q dustry in Alabama to note the interest dairymen are taking in the milk tests of their herds.
 Reports from the Auburn extension service are to the effect that in April nine hundred and twenty dairy cows were under official test during that month, the bulk of them being listed in the Canebrake Test Association with headquarters at Demopolis and the Dallas County Test Association with headquarters at Selma.
 The owner of the Holstein cow which won highest honors is natural ly proud of the distinction and all the more satisfied in that this dis function has also added to the money value of this prize animal and her offspring.
 Pride is the greatest stimulus to effort and achievement, whether it be the college football spirit or the rec ord of ones pure-bred hog, sow, bull, sheep, COW or goat.
 The pure-bred animal has been an inspiration to the Alabama farmer and the dipping vat has been, his anchor. The dairy test is but an- other indictment to raise finer and more valuable cattle.

THE SAN FRANCISCO LIST

, MT. Palmer and Governor Cox have done some canvassing at homo and elsewhere The former has some opposition at home, the latter none.
 Popular speculation places MT. McAdoo substantially in the lead. But no figures are given, and nobody is quoted as having arrived at the conclusion from a canvass of the country. It is simply in the ''fe~s." There is so much McAdoo talk, people argue that there must be something be- hind it. A ticket much discussed is that of McAdoo and Cox, although the Cox people resent the association of his name with second place.
 MT. Marshall. however. has been ''com- ing strong since the Indiana convention, where he delivered the keynote: and sort of hunt has been in progress for a good eastern man for yoking purposes. If one is found before the convention time the Marshall movement will receive quite an impetus

HIS REWARD.

Ills KEW WAhO- The white collar" man is bewailing
 his lot,
 Convinced thatNit couldn't be worse; The futures as dark as a Stysian grot And the high cost of living's a curse. His landlord and grocer .ake all that
 he earns
 And leave not a penny to spare; He's lashed to wheel that relentlessly
 turns
 In a course that is painful to bear. The sun may be shining. the skies
 may be blue, And the birds may be lifting a song, But the white collar" man is so
 chock-full of rue And his cares so persistently throng That nothing caa tighten the load on
 his heart
 That hopelessly presses him down; Perhaps when it's time from this world
 to depart
 St. Peter will give him crown.
 RECOGNITION. 'Tf we have women members of Con- gress do you suppose they will have any difficulty in being recognized on the floor?"

  in myself that I couldn't respond with a smile and a nod"

Why the Railroads
 Suffer in Earnings

|NNE of the unexplainable and i'm " penetrable mysteries of the times will be the failure of former Railroad Director Hines to accept the agreed price on iron and steel prod ucts effected by Secretary Redfield with the manufacturers in March, 1919.
 Equally undecipherable is the motive that led the railroad owners and their representatives to forego urging acceptance of that epportu- nity Of securing rails and car making materials at reasonable price and starting the re-equipment process.
 Railroads cannot make money unless they haul goods. They cannot haul goods without cars and locomotives.
 A dispatch from Detroit says:
 "During May approximately sixty eigh: thousand passenger automobiles and motor trucks were driven away from various factories here on their own power.
 "Fully 70 per cent of all machines produced in Detroit are being driven away from the plants"
 The automobile makers do not wish this. The cars can travel to their destination as much as two hundred miles from the shop at equal cost of railroad transportation, but for long CT distances the latter is much more economical. The autos are driven away under their own power, to the loss of revenue by the railroads, simply because the railroads are in no position to handle the traffic.
 The "outlaw" strikes effects have something to do with it, but apparent indifference of the railroad admin istration and the rail owners to the matter of equipment has had more.
 Is it necessary that new genera tion of railroad men take hold be- fore these tragically senseless things

Presidents Who Worked
 In Field and Forest

NNNLY two of the early Presidents " were Washington and Van Buren-although a long line of presidential ancestors were husband men.
 In the present day the cry among aspiring politicians is "back to the farm" Senator Harding of Ohio, the standard bearer of the republican party, was born on farm and worked on a farm. He was a typical farmer boy, before he learned the printers trade.
 Governor Coolidge of Massachu- sets, nominated for Vice President, was born on a farm in Vermont and in his youth cut wood and followed the blow. While the fact that the two republican candidates were farm CT boys does not account Tor -nelr rise, it made sturdy men of them.
 Governor Cox of Ohio, who is one of the leading candidates for demo- cratic standard bearer, was not only a farmers son, but worked in the field until he was old enough to be apprenticed a typo. Having served a short while as printer, he tried his hand at reporting and finally found himself connected with the editorial staff of the Cincinnati En- quirer. Later he became editor of one of the influential journals of Ohio. He has often remarked that next to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-16

editorial work, he loved the field and farm, and the cultivation of crops.
 It would be something of coinci- dence if Cox and Harding were to be the opposing candidates in the next presidential race.

* * * Auburn Listed Among Fifteen "Distinguished" Schools

A UBURN alumni, faculty, parents < A of the students and all Ala bama are proud to hear that the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute has been designated by the War Department as a distinguished" school in it's re- serve officers training corps unit.
 This honor is all the more to be coveted, because it is shared by only fifteen other institutions, and these fifteen were selected after an inspec- ton of twenty-five colleges picked from the two hundred and seventy five which had reserve officers train ing corps units.
 Auburn has always enjoyed the reputation of developing real man. hood. It has been singularly free from frills and furbelows. Its grad uates have taken their part in the everyday world of accomplishment and reflected credit on their alma mater in the practical affairs of life.
 The accomplishments of Auburn in the making of sturdy citizenship are all the more remarkable when one realizes the skimpiness of support and deficiency in equipment under which that institution has labored.
 The substitute has been the per- sonal devotion of Dr. c. c. Thach and his splendid staff.

Shadow of the War a Lifted From Paris

a N spite of war taxes and the pes- U tiferous Hun, Paris is becoming gay again. It would be too much to say that the Parisians are care-free. The French do not forget. The mem- .ory of their great sacrifices is still fresh in their minds, but a shrug of the shoulders expresses much and it surely does not mend matters to nope.
 :. Not long since Montmartre, where the picturesque students throng and mirth is more prevalent than moral ity, perhaps-where the shadow of Americas militant prohibitionists has never fallen and there is to be found what the world had almost lost, the "joy of life," elected one of it's pop ular characters mayor" He was in- augurated with appropriate exercises as "Chief of Montmartre's Intellec- tuals."
 Five thousand Parisians formed a parade and marched to the unveiling of the statue of an alleged philoso- pher, philanthropist and explorer who is said to have spent ninety-six years of his life in Montmartre, in itself a tax on credulity, since the inhabi- tants of the Latin Quarter seldom reach ripe old age.
 A well-known humorist of the cafes and cabarets was master of cere- monies. When the veil dropped a grotesque statue of the "savant" was disclosed, standing on his head, with his feet in the air and plaster hands outstretched to receive the greetings of passers-by.
 An Anglo-Saxon will shake his head dubiously over such nonsense, wondering how grown men and women can act like children. But that is the charm of the French peo- 2 pie. They know how to play, with as much enjoyment and with as lit- tie self-consciousness as children show in their games. An American will go out and hurl epithets at a
