Young Again

Tt was a great sign to see several of my brothers and cousins down on the Gulf of Mexico fishing last week" said Forney W. Brandon. We had the time of our lives and went out fishing every day. One member of our party was sixty-four years of age and he be came so accustomed to being rolled and tossed about in the boat that he actual ly fell out of bed one night. It was a splendid joke on him and we enjoyed it. Of course Rufe Smyer and his brothers and my brothers were all boys together and it did bring back those old childhood days when we fished in the creek"

Good old Days

"A few days ago in getting some change l happened to get s10 bill of the 1880 series,'' said pr. Vines, mem Der of the board of revenue. Tt was very old and does not look very much like the bill of this denomination of recent issues. Many people thought it was no good. q can remember the first one of those bills I ever saw I was just boy and had run away from home and gone down in Mississippi where I worked for a farmer for the handsome sum of $10 month. One can hardly realize that $1o once represented a whole months wage when we think of the present prices. However l would like to sec the old times back when dollar was worth 100 cents and prices were not so high"

| From New York Tribune.
 | 7N the August Atlantic William J. II Locke, creator of a best seller, tells 0 of the plight of the novelists. 1 Their business is to sell soul stuff | what they think and feel in the ! ruise of a fictitious narrative. Like other men, the inwards of novellsts have been plowed deep by the war have been profoundly influenced one way or another. by it's events.
 l But the novelists, when they would ] market their wares, encounter the tprohibition, No war The men Wno stand between the writer and the pup lie believe the public is tired oi ana | will no longer buy war books Fiction writers are asked to write as II no l war had been. This they cannot oo ! without sacrificing sincerity MT Locke sums up.
 The novelist has therefore, to

There is no Homer to l strike the Tyre.
 That publishers are persuaded the war book is passe is. of course, true. l And if is also true, being naturally Idesirous of selling, that the informal lembarro is born of an honest convic- ton that the public would forget the war. But perhaps there is special reason why they so think. As MT.

Took Appeals

"A large number of cases tried in recorders court are' being appealed to the criminal division of circuit court" said George Lewis Bailes, assistant city attorney. The legal department trans ferred 1oS cases yesterday which have been appealed in the past few weeks.
 Included in this amount were a number of prohibition cases, but 2 large proportion of the appeals were conduct, traffic violations and drunk enness. Six chiropractors have appealed their cases from recorders court tc the county courts. The number of ap. peals are much larger than usual"

Walk Like Cattle

eff people would only realize that traffic laws are made for pedestrians be fewer accidents" said Bob Ander- son.
 There arc few people in Birming ham who keep on the right side of the sidewalk when passing down the street. Numbers of people congregats on corners and stop to talk and idle What would we do if automobiles used either the right or the left side of the road. or if they stopped at crossings to get gas, or for any reason?"

Is a Good sout

"A friend of mine who was out at Redwood park Wednesday afternoon and witnessed that hair-raising ex- hibition of baseball between the Barons and the Travellers" said Brown Parkes "mistook Harry New, manager of the Motion, for big league scout. l am not at all surprised. for Harry was sitting in the bull pen'' right in front of the gate leading out on the field and directly in rear of the home plate. During eight innings he kept his eyes on the plays, but when Bern sen lifted one over the right field fence, it looked as if Harry wanted tc have a talk with him; Bernie, when he repeated the peIormance in the eleventh inning, had all the appearance of man who was ready to have the Birmingham first baseman sign on the dotted line"

WHY HE DIED RICH

From the Boston Transcript.
 Not long ago an old fellow died out in Kansas. leaving barrel of money. He had house full of children-ten or a dozen. The old man evolved a scheme.
 He would say to the children in the evening. Now, how many of you will take dime and go to bed without supper
 They all took dimes and went to bed hungry.
 Next morning the old man would say, Now, children. how many of you will give me a dime for nice, warm breakfast?'
 And, of course. they would all cough up their dimes.
 The old man thus saved the cost of tho children's supper. This was just one of his schemes; he had others That's why he died rich.

The Better Way

Present methods for the disposal of waste in Birmingham are indefensi- ble,' said Commissioner Henry Page Burruss. T should like to see a method adopted similar to that in use in Glas- gow, Scotland; Buenos Aires, Monte video and other South American cities There. l understand, the garbage, ashes and trade wastes are destroyed or reduced profitably to the city with out instances of any kind.
 The method used in these cities for the incineration of garbage pro- yides heat enough to light the streets and operate municipal industries. In addition. useful by-products are formed which partly pay for the operation of the plant. Closed automobile dumping carts are used in some of these cities. Garbage is dumped into carts and con- veyed to destructers. The car drives up over the destructers and the garbage is emptied direct into them"

I was not surprised at the adventurous spirit of Milton knowing as I did some thing of the history of the Kyies and the Elliotts, It was also the natural thing for his mother to make flight with him. and of course his sister had to fly, too Say what you please, there is something in the mere act of gliding through space like a huge bird which has the power of such a great fascination as to almost become an obsession with those who once trail through the atmosphere and poke their noses in clouds.
