Misery acquaints a man with strange L eedfeilows. Tempest. # 4 < One Hohenzollern Finds
 an Avenue of Escape

FNHE death of Prince Joachim,
 < youngest son of the former SKaiser, is the first suicide in the Ho- henzolern family, as result of the humiliation and disgrace which over- took them after the defeat of the German armies in France.
 The disposition to kick a man when he is down is shown by sensa- tional press reports, stating that Joachim committed suicide after an orgy of gambling and drinking which de eply involved him in debt. These stories may or may not be true, but le young prince had sufficient cause so despair, even if dissipation did not lead to self-destruction. The down. fall of the proud Hohenzollerns was
 itself enough to break their spirit. Besides Joachim had domestic trou- as which recently eliminated in di-
 rec, and he was poor. For prince ing used to every luxury and brought ap in idleness, poverty is often a worse affliction than the loss of po- tion or wife.
 It was at one time reported that Joachim was trying to earn living ia the automobile business. He was probably unfitted for any useful pur- suit. The prestige of his family gone, it would have been uphill work for him to accomplish anything in Ger many, even though he had more abil- ity than he is said to have possessed. The hatred and ignominy that justly fell on the former Kaiser and the crown prince was doubtless shared by the ether immediate members of the royal family. Joachim was not even good soldier, and his part in the war was negligible.
 If, as his friends assert, breeding over the fate of his family caused the prince to shoot himself, he at least showed keener sense of shame than any of his brothers or his fath- CT. Had Wilhelm committed suicide instead of fleeing like an arrant eoward to Holland, the German peo- pis might have forgiven him for lead ing them into disastrous war. As t is, the All Highest is now the all \ west, sans honor and sans every ting that could make life worth liv-

oncord at the White House
 Makes Harding Festive

1T HE conference at the White 0 House between President Will son, Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt was the cue for Senator Harding to drop few political shells into the enemy's camp.
 In predicting that the two leaders you'd declare themselves in harmony as Senator Harding's statement was prepared while the conference was going on, he did not show any politi- cal acumen. Everybody else knew, or at least anticipated, that the meeting would be cordial and would result in the democratic party pre- senting a united front in the cam paign.
 Judging from the statements made after the conference by the three participants, it was veritable love feast, made spiritually uplifting by the ringing of church bells and a sabbatical calm. It was not desc eration of the Sabbath, we may be sure Perhaps MT. Wilson reasoned, ~ths better the day, the better the deed"
 At any rate, Senator Harding could not remain passive, so he propounded . few questiors. He wants to know,

 Suddenly little girl stood up and persistently called: Teacher. Teach er!' in order to attract the attention of those who were attending to the unfortunate. At last the little one was heard and one of the teachers, turning round. demanded hastily and somewhat irri- tably:

IN HOTEL LCBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Looking to Birmingham n

There is no. doubt of Birmingham s inherent alluremsnt as place In which to do business" says o. L Bum, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce.
 In almost every mail l have in- quiries from persons who wish to To- cate here. In the past few days there were inquiries from a party wishing to make razor blades, from a concern that manufactures an automatic car step' from glass manufacturer. and from maker of enamel ware.
 The great difficulty is to secure sites Numbers of these parties wish buildings. These are all occupied. In other cases they desire offices and warehouses. There are no vacancies III these quarters either.
 There are some who have the money to establish their own plants and are looking for suitable sites. This in quiry points strongly to the future. As soon as we have our industrial depart .ment in good working order, I believe Birmingham is going to get many new industries. They wish to come. The thing is to have some one regularly on the job attending to the various wants of those who are booking this way"

T note that the issue between the operators and the striking miners is the recognition of the union, wages not being in dispute" says H. L. Chls- olm Now, If the miners would only broaden their viewpoint until they recognized the fact that the public must have coal or suffer. and pro- ceeded to produce that coal. they would receive a recognition which would be much more valuable to them than the gaining of the purely selfish end they now have in view could possibly be. The attitude which the miners are now taking, under the influence of agita- tors. is, short-sighted and disastrous. No body of men can do well without the good will of their fellow men"

Climbed over the meadow bars,
And watched as the young night

The cricket chirped in the grasses
In the soft rays of the moon.

Distorted, lank and tall,
His shadow was kissing my shadow,
That was the best of all.
My shadow leaped up as he
Whispered, II love you Margery
Lee"
For the one arm of his shadow
Went around the shadow of me.
Oh, the strength of mans devotion!
Oh, the VOWS of woman speaks !!
IT'S years since that blush of rap
ture,
Broke blushingly Ger my cheeks.
He found a gold that was brighter
Than that of my floating curls,
And married cross eyed widow,
With dozen grown up girls.
The voice is 'dearer than the other,
And so / glad, you see,
That he married the cross eyed
widow,
Instead of Margery Lee.
Oh, the strength Of mans devotion
Oh, the vows of woman speaks;
IT'S years since the moons dark
shadow
Brought happiness to Margery Lee.

this we must plant it early and grow
