Opening of the new postoffice will change the disembarking place for persons who come to town from East Lake, Woodlawn. Ensley and Besse- mer, I believe" said Charles T. Sea- ton of Venable's cafe.
 People with business to transact usually come to the postoffice during some part Of the day. Naturally they will go there as soon as they reach town to avoid forgetting the need for visiting the postoffice.
 Development will come toward the new postoffice, I think, baslng my thought on years of observation. ] can remember, in 1904, negro hut standing where Blach's store is today.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE STRIKE AND WHAT HE ACTUALLY TETINKS ABOUT TIT

NN HHY should one mince words; or WV walk about in spots. The coal
 miners strike in the Birming- ham district has been settled. The Union army has withdrawn, and some weeks ago asked for an armistice
 The cohorts of the union regime have retired beyond the Rhine and have asked for a consideration.
 The Governor of Alabama, as a per- sonal quantity has sent committee of his friends to the Birmingham district to make report to him as to the sit nation in this district and to advise circumstances.
 The committee left Birmin gham yes- terday morning to report to the gov ernor their opinion of the situation in the Birmingham district
 The committee found that there was no strike in this district. The com mittee found that unionism and col lective bargaining were a thing of the past in the Birmingham district. The committee found that merit alone pre- vailed; and this writer would indicate that the committee would so report.

Two Can Play at
 the Tariff Wall Game

r7T7HE Fordney tariff act had to die U It was politically dishonest and did not represent the convictions of those who voted for it. Republicans and democrats are glad the outgoing President vetoed it and that it es- capped passage over his veto.
 Apropos of the Fordney tariff is 8 dispatch from Buenos Aires, reading;
 Legislation providing for an in-
 crease in the tariff duties on North
 American products was introduced
 today in the chamber of deputies.
 The bill was inspired by the pro-
 posed tariff Legislation in the
 United States considered harmful
 to the Argentine republic.
 The countrien to the south of the United States are not in the wild state, nor in that of bucolic simplicity. They have large and beautiful cities, merchant princes, captains of indus try and the wealth and culture of their northern neighbors. They know when their toes are trodden on and by whom quite as we'll as do Ameri- cans. They follow the markets and the legislation of all civilized coun- tries and they are fully able to con- duct their affairs accordingly.
 The makers of the next tariff will not deal with children, but with adults. They are going to realize that other people will not take our goods unless we take theirs in pro- portion. If we put up a tariff wall, so will they.
 In fact, the golden rule no longer needs sponsors; it speaks for itself. It has become practical necessity in the affairs of men.

Time to RuiId

With lumber at what seems to be its lowest price level, and real estate purchasable in many sections of the city at pre-war prices, now is the time for a concerted own-your- home drive" declared Robert Jemison, Jr., of Jemison & Co.,
 "A city of home owners shows a city where the citizenship is stable and conservative. With Birmingham citi- zens awake to the chance for build ing homes at what I believe is the low cost, the path is paved for a most stable population"

WHEREIN WILSON WAS GREAT From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Our chief admiration for MT. Wilson lis for the manner in which he drove the war activities once we were com mitted That determination was evolved from his character. He used transcription. He furnished the allies with wha. they needed-men, money and materials in the amount needed.
 Weakness at. this time might have ruined us. A man less determined to have his own way, less impervious to what was said of him. might have flinched at conscripting soldiers He might have tried to fight the war with volunteers. He might even have tried to fight it with money and materials. He might have tried to spare the na- ton human sacrifices or to limit the expenditure of human life.
 Then I've should have entered losing war and have been among the losers. just in time to. be in the wreckage. IConscription was the big decision and whether he realized it or not, was his most dangerous one. Hughes might have had serious draft riots. From wilson. the people took the draft with hardly a murmur. and the, war was won right then.
 The President did not allow the peo- pie to draw back from a drop in the cup. He took their money. He spent lit withoutNa thought for the waste of lit. There had to be waste. He put tho United States behind the allies with q promise of the last man and the last dollar. It required courage, .ntelli- xence and character, and all the rug eedness and willfuiness of MT. Will sons temperament served the country as it needed to be served.
 These were the high moments of his career He sent 100000 men to France before the aetonished Germans thought it was possible to do so. He had 20oo 900 in American training camps and more were being drafted. Then. also. from the. White House came the thunders of rhetoric which snpefied the German people behind their armies and disintegrated them in the rear of their fighting forces. As American divisions put the pres sure on German divisions. MT. Wilson's words destroyed the moras of the Ger man people, who had been steadfast and the war was won.

district. The man who can work and make good is the man who can stand upon pedestal in Birmingham. This writer has been in Birmingham nearly twenty -four years. He has seen men come into this district with money. He has seen men buy limousine auto mobiles of one or two or three varie- ties. He has seen men pay chauffeurs all sorts of extravagant prices, and dress them up in uniforms which would make French army officers ashamed of themselves. And yet these men and their families have failed to get into the best Birmingham society and make themselves conspicuous.
 He has seen members of labor unions get themselvess appointed to political positions; and yet these labor union conspicuous quantities have failed to make themselves the much-a ado in the life of Birmingham.
 He has seen men exploit themselves in newspapers, and in public. He has seen all manner of men who made themselves conspicuous.

THE ROBINS CHEER-UP SONG-By Frank Willis Barnett

friend asked me, Why the robin story?" which recently appeared in tnis column. I am always glad when any to ask me about it.
 | The answer is very simple. The other morning I got up, and rather an unusual thing for me, l was headed for what seemed a preachers "blue Monday" as I had put in rather strenuous Sunday, preaching in the morning and afternoon and having a 30-mile drive in a cloud Of dust
 Taking a short cut through the woods to the car line, in tree way above mo sat a robin, and the red-breast seemed to divine, that below was a man who needed bit of cheer, and throwing back note that I went on my way to town with new song in my heart, but what was better still for a newspaper man, a story in my mind.
 A man never knows what memories may be awakened. The odor of lilac, the per- fune of violets. the smell of roses-each one may recall to mind wonderful night in the days when he was young, when love stirred his blood as he wandered in the moonlight with some maiden fair. l have heard it claimed that every man and woman is mysteriously moved by some favorite odor.
 
 Tl,a cioht nf fl,,t .ir1x n1a1 h tcvh made me boy again. and I was back in my home town of Eufaula with blood tinglng, for the coming of the breasts set every healthy lad a-quivering, for it Was in days before anybody in the south had even so much heard that it was a mending of slingslots. cleaning up of airguns. and the getting of shotguns | into order
 Between my home and the Cargiles our. next-door neighbors, was row of trees l filled with the kind of berries whish robbins liked best of all and they used to be literally alive with the red-breasts. think the greatest thrill I ever had in my life came to me one day when, picking up a rock. lucky throw brought down at my feet bird, all my own. and to be cooked just for me by old Harriet, who always fussing at her children" vet was good to them as only the old-time negro nanny knew how to be.
 I am simply. telling how I felt, for my feelings were entirely different from that of hor how x,-ho C.rfJn nor wrote. killed robin-the little thing, With scarlet breast on glossy wing, ' That comes in the apple tree to sing. I flung a stone as he twittered there; I only meant to give him scare, But off 1t went-and hit him square little flutter. little cry,
 Then on the ground I saw him lie didn't think he was going to oie. But as I watched him I soon could see He never would sing for you or me Any more on the apple tree. Never more in the morning light, Never more in the sunshine bright, Trilling his song in gay delight And I'm thinking every summer day How never never can repay
 The little life that took away. l
 The Latin name of the common thrush is "musicus." and it could not have a better, for it's rich song is lovely music. It will be recalled by those who read my former story of the robin that 1t belongs to the thrush family, and there- fore has perfect right to be classed as song birA
 But we who live in the south where robins used to come by the millions. ought not to have been so severely censured for killing them, as no one looked up to

them as song birds; but now that we have been educated on the subject, and know that they do sing back home, I am in full sympathy with John Wallace, who is seeking in every way to have them protected while they are the guests Of Alabama.
 Edith Thomas has told us in verse why robins do not sing in the south:
 If I ever tried note
 Something rose within my throat
 Twas because my heart was true
 To the north and springtine new;
 My minds eye a nest could see
 In yon old forked apple tree.
 I stated frankly my joy over killing a robin with a rock, and to add to my shame I admitted that I was pot hunter" besides. I do not think, how ever, that I differed one whit from the average southern lad. who came on the scene after the war, for the staying Of the red breasts was reckoned great sport, and no one who ever ate robin pie can truthfully say that it was not dish fit for king.

Bullet Is Quickest and
 Most Humane Method

7THERE appear to be several defi-
 l nitions of cruelty in the minds of those who consider the removal of the dog menace. Shooting the condemned canine on sight and put ting him to death on the spot is the method lately used by order of the city authorities, Some seem to think that is cruel.
 The Turkish rulers of Constantino- pie once determined to get rid of the armies of dogs that infested that city. The Turkish religious code prevents the staying of dog. The authorities coursed around that law by gathering up the dogs and removing them to an island where they were left to die.
 One way of eliminating the dog is to go about the city, catch him in net at the end of pole and put the terrified animal in wagon cage along with other distressed CUTS. The wagonload is carried to pound where , the miserable captives endure more . hours of agony waiting in vain for the release that does not come. Then they are chloroformed.
 The pistol shot does it now. The rifle bullet ends all in flash before the dog knows that he is to be re- moved. Any other process, is slower and entails suffering of more or less duration.

Had to Make Good

T had to make good at Talladega, where recently was among others addressing my fellow Rotarians of that city, said John c. Henley.
 Knowing I was to speak, I read up on the history of our effort out of one of our books and was filled up with that data But, 10 and behond! the man just ahead of me pulled out the very book from which l had secured my stuff and read it to the crowd.
 Then I came. I had to make an entirely new speech, and I fail to un- derstand how it is that the Talladega crowd has extended me such a com pliment for the effort. I do know this, however, that I was an awfully busy man between the tIrne my pre- decessor closed and the chairman finished introducing me-
