Another Step in
 Birmingham Achievement


 A HE arrival of the City of Bir- AA mingham at Cordova marks an- other milestone in the progress of this district. For the first time the wholesalers and jobbers of Birming ham have received merchandise via the Warrior at a freight rate 20 per cent under the all-rail rate. .
 Prior movements of lumber, ore, coal and steel up and down the river had been made at these rates, but the maiden cargo of the City of Birming- ham began the merchandise freight business on the river.
 Birmingham has two ports, one at Cordova with connections via the Frisco, distant 3S miles, and one at the Port of Birmingham, with con- nections via the Ensley Southern, dis tant 26 miles. We have these two points of vantage spelling freight rate independence.
 When wholesalers and jobbers agair face trade conditions that warrant more extensive taking on of stocks the river business will correspond 1T volume.

# E Half a Century on the American Stage

1NO have played principal parts
 ll with Edwin Booth, John McCul- tough and Lawrence Barrett, to have been associated with many other noted men and women of the stage and to have been a famous star for nearly half century is a distinction we'll worth while. A long and honorable career, happily not yet finished, and hundreds of warm friendships. both in and out of the theatre, make the memoirs of Frederick Warde a notable contribution to stage literature.
 In Fifty Years of Make-Believe," published by the International Press syndicate, Tribune building, New York city, MT. Warde has told the story not of his life, but of large part of it, graced by numerous triumphs, en- livened by host of interesting ex- periences and warmed by the human sympathy and the humor which are characteristic of this veteran actor. Although MT. Warde was born in England, in 1851, he came to America in his early manhood and has ever since been closely identified with the American theatre. He has played in all the principal cities and most of the smaller ones. There is hardly a town of any importance in the coun- try where he has not at some time ap- peared, either as lecturer or as an actor. He has played over stores, in halls and barns and in the metropoli- tan theatres.
 MT. Warde soon achieved promi- hence in his profession, and while he
 had many adventures, some grave and others gay, while travelling about
 the country, he has been a successful
 actor and was spared most of the
 sorrows and vicissitudes which have
 been the lot of so many of his con-
 temporaries. This is partly due tc
 MT. Warde's histrionic gifts, which
 gained for him substantial recognition
 and partly to his fine qualities o1
 mind and heart, to which he owes z
 popularity he has never lost. Away:
 intensely devoted to his profession
 conscientious in his dramatic work ant
 beloved by his associates, professions jealousies did not mar his career ol sour his kindly disposition.
 Every page of Fifty Years o. Make Believe" is crowded with incl dents and anecdotes of an active Tiff, which has been lived with a zest tha
 is reflected in MT. Warde's book. Hi judgment of his fellow players is just . vet forbearing and sympathetic. H. has words of praise for their talen and no word of censure for their weak nesses.

ADRTFT WITH THE TIMES
A HUMDRUM WORLD

A HUMDRUM WORLD How we'll do I remember In the gladstone days Of youth I used to read wild stories, Which held as solemn truth, Of adventurous explorers Quitting luxury and ease To consort with savage people In the unknown tropic seas But the world has changed no little, There is not much to explore And the natives aren't as bloody As they were in days of yore. Fen the oannibals, they tell us, Have eschewed their loathsome fare And a fat white missionary, Why, he's safe most anywhere.

War Between Mary and Geraldine

War Between Mary and Geraldine
 Those who thought that Geraldine
 Farrar was the greatest drawing card
 in concert, must guess again, for, juds-
 ing from the capacity houses to which
 Our Mary is singing on her concert
 tour, her popularity is unequaled," said Mrs Richard F. Johnston. However,
 Birmingham will have the chance of deciding for itself just which prina l donna is most liked when Mary Garden
 makes her premier bow the evening of
 Monday. December 6. under the All
 Star Concerts at the Jefferson. In the
 meantime Mary Garden seems to draw
 her admirers from every walk of life, ;, as is indicated by letter l received yesterday from Charles L. Wagner or | New York, manager of Mary Garden
 and other gold mines. and which shows 1 that while the other world wars seemed i to have abated, the war between Our | Mary and La Geraldine as to popularity 1 is still ragin. MT. Wagner, to prove Our 1 Mary's claim, in his letter incloses a | letter from an admirer of the wonder full prima donna for whom the most popular perfume in the world is named.
 and it is dated Pittsburg, October 30. 1920, and says:
 Dear Miss Garden: Are you in the habit of sending your autographed por- trait to unknown girls in Pittsburg? :? I'd very much appreciate one, and 1t | would have a place of honor in my room.

Many Good Reasons for
 Early Christmas Shopping

Early Christmas Shopping 51VERY year the exhortation to shop lG early for Christmas is made. Every year more people do so, thus adding to the real enjoyment of the Christmas spirit.
 Nothing ever was gained by being in a hurry that could have been avoided. One does not know as well what he is doing when in a hurry. He is bore to himself and nuisance to others. He wishes extra service of tired and worn-out people. He de- mands compensation for his lack of forethought in the harassment of others.
 Better selections of Christmas gifts are made by the forehanded. Papa and mama and the cook come very much nearer getting what they wish if the donor has bought in leisurely manner with sufficient time to choose that which suits the recipient.
 We all know it is sensible to d( our Christmas shopping early and therefore, we ought to do it. w serve ourselves and we serve others

Exceptional Chance
 to Get a Good Wife

~ ISS CATHERINE LOUISA lWll STACK, a 50-year-old nurse, who lives in New York, is going to be married. This is a safe prediction to make, because immediately after Miss Stacks advertisement for hus- band appeared in a Philadelphia paper, she began to receive telephone calls and endearing notes. While somewhat mature, she announced that she was full of pep" and it is rumored that she has money.
 Miss Stack is not looking for a young man whose habits may be ir- regular and his affections inconstant. She wants a husband from 50 to 54 and has no intention of being bossed around by 'boy of 35." A million aire might not be rejected, but she is not seeking wealth. Neither does she want the type of husband who would try to "hang" himself to her money.
 When Miss Stack finds the right man there will be a wedding. She doesn't believe "you have to know a man forever to know him." She says,
