 number of years ago beloved citizen of Birmingham buried his only son. His friends who had followed the boy to the grave and helped put him there, were gathered in the sit ting room of the bereaved father. Faces were long, because none could look at that sorroWing old man without realizing how he suffered.
 It was awfully tense and gloom was gathering thicker and thicker every moment. One mem Der of the party, sensing the situation, told story about the life of the dead one in which ele ments of humor predominated. Sad as he was, the old man smiled and the remainder of the party followed with other "reminiscences of the dear dead. A Aload was lifted from all

She was lovely, but not of the stunning kind. Selfish young manhood fought shy of her, fearing prolongation of her society in case they sought her at all.
 One young man nveigled first one and then another to dance with the stranger on sworn promise that he would relieve them. The girl was airily floated on this method through her first Birmingham appearance.

 These are examples of that quality which is called tact Tact is thoughtlessly supposed to exist without heart Thatis not the case Those who think they are tactful without bringing the heart into it are tactful enly as Carker in Dom bey and Son. They gratify and deceive only the self-sufficient, who are self deceived.
 The dictionary says tact is nice discernment and delicate skill in saying and doing exactly what is expedient or suitable in given circunl- stances The circumstance requiring tact nine times out of ten is disagreement between two parties. Pouring oil on these troubled waters requires asteady hand Hewho does it best he who has regard for the material on which he is atwork and guards the oil of peace from the bel ligerent sparks that fit about.
 No man, no woman obsessed with self can be tactful. Tact is objective. 1t does not consist in injecting self into the conflict, but in substi- tuting for the jarring elements in the difficult circumstances the elements of harmony that also exist and need but the tactful word to come to the fore.

SLATE CARRANZA
TO Be KEPT FOR
MEX PSER|DENT
(By Ralph H. Turner; United Press
Staff Correspondent.)

(By Ralph II. Turner; United Press
Staff Correspondent)
City Of Mexico, Feb. 26.-(By mail.)
1t is a duh week indeed that does
not bring forth a new turn in the po-
litical conjesture in Mexico's presi-
Dental race. And the past week has
not been dull one. This is the
question Mexico is asking herself to-
day:
Does Venustiano Carranza intend
to continue in the presidential
chair?"
Decidedly not, Carranza replies.
According to Carranza's own state
ment, he will not remain in office
"a single day after the first of De-
cember" the date his term expires.
This statement, which appeared orig
inally in El Democrata a government
organ, was accompanied by the edi-
tors declaration that a contemporary
had published IAN insidious notice to
the effect that a certain political
group was comforting privately to
consider keeping the president in
power without violating the constitu-
ton
In refuting this suggestion, Carran-
"a was quoted as saying that mas
much as reelection was prohibited,
he would not violate the spirit Of the
constitution by remaining in office,
even though this could be done in a
constitutional way. He declared fur
ther, according to El Democratic, that
holding of the election, congress
would designate the executive.
But the presidents statement, while !
exercising a certain quieting effect
upon the campaign situation, has not
entirely stopped the discussion in po
litical circles that Carranza may sue
ceed himself Basis of this discussion
generally is based on two points;
l. The president may declare that !
the pacification of the nation is not
yet so complete as to permit the hold
ing of the elections, thereby extend
ing his term of office
2 Controversy over the election
may lead congress to declare it lille
gal, following this action by naming
a man to enter upon the new term
In the event of the second devel-
the newspaper Excelsior lin
dependent) has pointed out, Carranza
would be designated as
the provisional president.
The Excelsior asserts that the new
provides:
I'm case of the absolute lack of
presidential term, congress shall i'm
elect president the same
to convoke new presidential
arranging for these to take :
place as near as possible to the next
elections for congressman and sena- +:
tors" /:
This means, according to the Ex- /:
celsior, that should congress declare
the elections illegal, or should the :
resign for the sake of
peace, Carranza would be named to :
hold office for two years longer, or
until 1922 when the next congression- :
Al elections are scheduled
Some people, in fact, declare that :
II would be best for Mexico if Car
ranza would remain in power; that
he is the strong man" of the coun-
try; that his continuance in office :
would permit Mexico to continue it's !:
