luxury and men and women strive to possess themselves thereof.
 We scale the necessity to the fine ness of gnat's heel When we ap ply the pocketbook to luxuries and pleasure the foot-rule dwindles to an inch.
 The price of pleasure and that of necessities go hand in hand, because what is pleasure for one has become a necessity for another. The bath tub was first luxury. Now the hrmblest home counts itself unfin- ished without one.
 No impression of fair price for any one item in the makeup of the budget is correct unless it is based on comparison with the other items.
 Rents and the price of bana las, homes and the cost of pleasure cars, cabbage and diamonds are all corre- lated in the value of their com non Representative, the dollar.

Birmingham and Its
 Census Population

s1N HE census bureau has made a
 J ruling different from that of 1910. Ten years ago several cities falling short of what civic organiza- tions contended was approximately their population, complete recount was made. It was an expensive un- dertaking, and the results did not justify it.
 Birmingham, not satisfied with its census figures for 1920-17S, ,270- asked for a recount. The director of the bureau has notified Supervisor George w. Cruikshank that no re- count will be allowed any city this year. This ruling, however, does not prohibit additions or corrections. If we find people who can assert solemn ly that they were not counted, they will be added to the revised census. This is fair, and the City Commission

THE GREATEST MAN
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register
 If is observed with some interest that Bloomington, Ind, has university
 where the students of a certain his- tory class have recorded theirimpressions as to men who have made their mark in the world. After completing a course Of study of the subject, these students have voted, saying who in their opinion is to be regarded as the greatest man in the world. The students were asked to name fifty persons in the order of their great ness, and this is the reported result:
 Shakespeare, Aristotle, Lincoln. Caesar. Washington, Plato, Napoleon, Luther, Socrates, Newton. Columbus, Edison Alexander, Emerson. Michelangeio, Hom- er Mohammed Milton. voltaire Darwin. Franklin. Dante, Goethe, Roosevelt, Charlemagne, Raphael, Jefferson. Pas teur Foch, Bacon, Frederick. Woodrow Wilson, Confucius, Cicero. Lloyd George, Leonardo da Vinci, Pitt Virgil, Burke, Cromwell, Euripides, Calico, Solomon, Spencer, James, Florence Nightingale. Dickens Rockefeller and Joan of Arc.
 According to this, the class as whole places Shakespeare at the head of it's list, with Aristotle and Lincoln following. It is probable that these young people

Cabbages and Diamonds
 Bear Correlated Values

TIT is doubtful if the public will \ pause to ponder one way or the other over a Boston news item, which records an advance of one hundred and eighty dollars in one make of automobile, one of fifteen hundred dollars in another, and one of one hundred and fifty dollars in two oth- CT makes. These raises are in addi- ton to those that have already been made.
 No voice has been raised against the advance in watches and in dia- monds. Once in a while some enc protests the price of amusements, but the throng laughs, pays it's war tax with smile and goes in care-free to enjoy the show.
 Raise the price of cabbage and there is furore in the kitchens of the land. Bring John Mccormack to the city and money loses it's value. Strike a necessity if one would have a row on his hands. Present an advance in

 A girl has to be awfully absent minded to eat radishes for supper when she knows that her fellow is going to call that evening.
 You may have noticed that a pretty girl is smart enough to pick out a homely girl as chum.
 One thing we like about a red headed man is that he doesn't expect you to think that his hair is Auburn. :
 Once in a while a nlkrried man gets so tired of eating at home that ham burger fried in axle grease by a col ored man tastes better than a lamb chop broiled in butter by his wife.
 If you were honest with yourself you would admit that the High Cost of Bluffing sets you back more than the High Cost of Living.
 A married woman who fights at least three hours every night would regard her husband as a brute if he went to see two prizefighters put up scrap.
 Anyway the profiteers are helping us to obey the Biblical admonition against laying up treasures here on earth.
