For Good of the
 Community

4 POPULAR travelling salesman repre- \ senting large factory was in Brming- ham the past week shaking hands with friends. Nothing unusual about that procedure on it's face. It is the habit of travelling salesnen to visit cities and hobnob with their customers
 But this young man had not been in Birming- ham in nearly two years, although this is his ter ritory In fact, he had not been at lot of places formerly visited by him. He had been at home drawing salary and paying an occasional visit to the factory.
 Sounds strange for travelling salesman. It would not have occurred but for the abnormal conditions produced by the war and 1apsino over in it's wake.
 This young man had not been on the road be- cause his factory was grooming with orders. He had kept away from the trade because the trade was wanting more stuff than he had to sell A prominent feature of the factorys business for two years had been turning down orders in such gentle fashion as not to hurt feelings.
 Heisa happy as a lark to be on the road again. He is aWfully glad to see his old friends, because, if they wish to buy, he is now in position to ac commodate them. He draws his salary with more zest because he is earning it.
 His feeling is that of man, who, after being overfed and undergoing the tortures of indiges- tion, has recovered his natural appetite and en- joys dish of hog jowl and snap beans, with but termilk on the side.
 Henry Ford is probably enjoying the same nature of relief since announcement of lower price for his cars. Wood, of the woolen mills and a lot of other folks will enjoy this Sunday more than many of it's predecessors.
 They have come down from the attitudes and joined the plain folk in the low levels The price extravaganza, like any other orgie, was ntoxi- eating for the time, but the reaction has been more and more painful, until the only remedy was applied. That remedy was return to sim pier things simpler thoughts simpler asora- tions.
 Itwas a wrench to break away from lile brI ght lights of high prices. It is a wrench to part from liquor, from morphine from any habit tha 'os carried with it peculiar excitation
 But people began to shy away from the price top-notchers They withdrew one by one from the support of the pillars of the temple of high prices. The manufacturers, sensing the impend- ing tumble-down of the edfice, also sallied forth They and the people are meeting in the fair fields safe from the flying debris and have be- gun the resumption of their more normal and more cordial relations
 No one has been much hurt; none that does right will be hurt Only the obstinate who re- main after the support has been withdrawn will ho ini11rod uyhor, tho fi,,o11x7 o al

Amber.


Amber comes in round, irregulariy
shaped Jumps. Its color ranges from a
pale yellow to a reddish brown. 1t Is
sometimes transparent and sometimes
opaque. When it Is heated gradually in
an oil bath Il becomes soft and flexible
and may be worked easily. Two pieces
may be united by smearing the surface
with linseed oil and then pressing them
together while hot. Cloudy amber may
be clarified by boiling it in oil, as the
oil fills the numerous pores to which
the turbid appearance Of the amber is
due. Formerly the small bits of am
Der cast off in making objects were
wasted or ground up for use in var
nish, but now they are pressed to-
gether into "ambroid" or pressed am
