Zeppelins to Fly From
 Berlin to San Francisco


X N Akron, Ohio, dispatch quotes EA an aeronautical expert of large tire and rubber company, who has just returned from Europe, as saying that two super-Zeppelins of the largest type are being built in Germany for American trade.
 These vessels will be used in a freight and passenger service be- tween Berlin and San Francisco, via New York. It is reported that the project will be financed by we'll known automobile manufacturer and the Hamburg American Steamship Company. The initial trip will prob ably be made in the next four months.
 Thus the giant air craft with which it was once proposed to bomb New, York will make a peaceful invasion of America. In the meantime the nation which gave the world the heavier -than-air machine continues blind to it's opportunities. Aerial travel and freight transportation have become. almost commonplace In parts of Europe, notably England, France and Germany. In America we still re- gard flying as more or less of Sporting proposition" although at tempts have been made, both by the government and by private concerns, to establish postal, passenger and freight air lines. So far little has been done in comparison to the strides made in Europe.

Dairying Industry Asks
 a Little Assistance

11HE Alabama Polytechnic Insti-
 u ute, in response to growing demand for the establishment of a dairying course, has decided to open one this fall. Not having the ready means for this purpose, it is borrow ing the money.
 Citizens of Alabama interested in this very important and progressive industry, are to be asked to help by lending a small amount of money to the institute through the Alabama Dairy Association. The institute is to pay per cent for~the use of the money and repay the principal.
 Jefferson county's quota of the as- Isessment is two thousand dollars. There should be no difficulty in rais- Ing that amount here. IhlS district is as much concerned in dairying as any section of Alabama, because it is the greatest consumer of dairy products Plans for raising the money will be announced in the next few days.
 Dairying is becoming real busi- ness in Alabama. Quite an impetus was imparted when the creamery in- terests commenced purchasing pure breG cattle by the carload and resell ing to nearby farmers at cost. The farmers pay for the cattle by the cream which they ship to the cream cries. The brands of some of these creaneries are already standards not only in the state, but outside it's bounds

League of Nations Has
 a RespectabIe Payroll

"A LTHOUGH Senator Lodge re GA gards the League of Nations as a mere cadaver and Senator Hard ing thinks the remains should be in- tered at the earliest possible mo- ment, a Paris newspaper has found reason for the league to continue in existence.
 The secretary general, says this au- thority, receives fifty thousand dol lars a year, two under secretaries are paid ten thousand dollars each, and the private secretary of the secretary general gets twenty five thousand dollars. Directors of sections are paid from ten to twelve thousand dol lars year, and members of sections from three to six thousand dollars. Other officials on the league payroll are, Ia librarian -in-chief, who is paid five thousand dollars; the director of the international bureau of labor, a thirty thousand dollar year man; chief of the diplomatic division, nine thousand dollars; chief of the service of inquiry into sovietism, six thou sand dollars, and subchief of the sci entific division, who worries along on five thousand dollars year.
 Some of these salaries are not high, according to American standards, but they are large in Europe. With such an imposing salary list, it is evident that the league is financially solvent, even if it has not thus far made much of a stir in the world by taking a re-

 It Is really a wonderful walk. l wore out three pairs of shoes walking, and my appetite was something colos- sal. And sleep-there never was a place in the world where a person can sleep like he can out in Colorado.
 The new residential addition to Manitou is called Little Switzerland . and is a perfectly beautiful acreage of property, where numbers of wonderful summer homes are in process of con struction. One thing that impressed me greatly was the Municipal band of Manitou which is very large and gives the most delightful concerts, In fact, there is no more pleasant place in America to spend a summer than in Colorado"

Remove the Beggars

T believe Birmingham holds the rec. ord for the number of crippled, pencil selling beggars that infest our street corners" said William J.. Rossiter. T think some plan should be provided to help these unfortunate and at the same time remove them from the streets. Take New York, for instance. A per son can stay there for days and never see beggar. I understand that they are not allowed to beg on the streets All those who are not able to work arc taken care of by charity.
 q am wondering if some method could not be devised here to take care of those who are dependent on charity. It is possible that mems industrial home similar to the home for women might be established, as most of the beggars are men. think all local beggars should be helped so far as needed. and that the professional, trav- cling beggar should not be allowed to remain within the limits

 The voters like thorough going American, and one who will fight for American principles, and Governor Cox is of that type. The more the people understand him, the more they trust him.
 As governor of Ohio his execu- tive ability was well demonstrated, while as a candidate for the presi- dency his statesmanship and his wide vision are developing on far reaching lines.
