OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

Ont where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trifle
whittier,
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trife bluer;
Out where friendships little truer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's more laughter in every
streamlet flowing,
Where there is more or reaping and
less of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts in despair are
~ aching,
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and
less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and less
Of buying,
And man makes friends without
half trying,
That's where the West begins.

AN ARITHMETICAL PROBLEM

A country lad went to a neighbor-
ing town and applied for situation

Of the questions was: "A man buys
an article for $500 and sells it for
1904; does he gain or lose on the
transaction? After bordering the
question, the rural younth answered:
"He gains on the dollars, but loses on
the cents. Balance Sheet.

SHR|NERS INVITED
 ID LOCKWOOD PARK
Special Dance on Programme Tonight-Attendance Record
 Broken Yesterday

Edgewood park, nestling in the foot hill of Shades mountain, and declared by many to be the real beauty spot of Birmingham, Is doing its share toward entertaining the thousands of Shriners today and tonight, and the mountain resort has dolled up especially for the occasion,--
 Neptune beach will be open through out today and until 12 o'clock tonight. This will enable the visiting nobles and their friends to go out and make merry in the most expensive and most talked of pool in this section of the country.
 Neptune beach broke the attendance record yesterday when people flockcd to the concrete-b -bottomed pool by the hundreds and took plunges in the cool ing waters.
 Tonight the management announces a special Monday night dance in honor of the visiting Shriners, and Al Vein berg's orchestra will be on hand to give the visiting nobles some of the best dance music they ever listened OF danced to. The myriad reflector, which was installed last week, and which has caused quite a furore of comment among the dance devotees of the city, will be a feature at tonight s dance as well. when number of fire fly" waltzes will be featured.
 Manager Hugh Hill stated last mig ht that the park had just closed the. big best Sundays business in its history.
 Busscs will be running from the new postoffice every 30 minutes this after noon and tonight for the dance, with trolley service and three automobile highways leading to the park.

Berlin, June 5.-The late John Reed, American magazine writer, news paper correspondent and a leader of communists in America, won to a place in soviet Russia second only to Lenine and Trotsky, M. Schwartz of San Fran cisco, socialist and labor organizer, told the correspondent of the Associated Press upon his arrival here from Mos COW, where he had been TOUT months in prison following his attendance as dele- gate to the second congress of the third internationale. Reed died in Moscow last autumn.
 When I first went to Moscow some friends told me John Reed was there, said MT. Schwartz. What of it?' asked. for had known Reed in Chicago when, as big, good natured sincere fellow he had split the socialist party over the issue of communism, and his being in Russia didn't particularly inter- est me. It soon did interest me.
 NO REAL ONE HERE
 Some of the Russians had asked me about the communist party in America and I had replied we had no real, or ganized communist party there, although we had communists. This, apparently, did not jbe with the impression Reed had made. That same day he came, coatless and angry, into the dining room where we were all eating and walking up

WILL CROOKS DIES
Was One of Best Beloved Men in the
 House of Commons

London, June 5.--The Right Honor able William Crooks, who served as labor member of Parliament for near ly 20 years. died today.
 Will Crooks, who was the most pop ular member of the labor party and one of the best beloved men in the House of Commons. began life as a pauper infant, spending part of his childhood in the Popular workhouse He served his apprenticeship with a cooper and worked at that trade for years, but at times he was without work and had close acquaintance with poverty and hunger.
 He entered public life in 1892, when he was elected member of the Lon don county council and devoted him. self to improving the poor law, show Ing special interest in pauper children. When he was elected to Parliament from Woolwich he speedily won the attention of the House. He was a born orator, and his speeches usually dealt with the condition of the workers. whose drab lives he described from first -hand knowledge.
 Will Crooks became one of the lead CTS in the great labor movement and was one of the dominant figures in England. He was born in a London sium. Poplar. in 1852. and started work when only nine year of age. His father had been injured when the boy was scarcely more than baby, and the family was forced to move to the workhouse. But at the age of nine the boy picked up odd jobs about the docks and was soon supporting his mother.

SOCIAL DISEASE

To the Editor of The Age Herald: Very many must hail today's an rouncement in your paper of pros pective campaign. The proportion of venereal diseases shown in the health department's weekly report is grue- some.
 Bootlegging is bad enough in its con- sequences, but is an innocent pastinae as compared with the aftermath of this blighting corruption; personal. social and economical.
 familiar indictment of whisky is based upon the tabulation of sorrows that through it's excesses fall upon others than the users and abuses If this thing could be tried out in it's result on the non-offending and ofter quite unconscious. the proportion as any hospital could testify, would at least amount to--"strong drink has slain it's thousands. venereal disease it's 10 thousands" And it blights. dis. ables and wastes where 1t does not kill.
 Figures above. and experts, familiar though the arey. and appalling beyond words. No layman could suspect them. Unfortunately, the facts are of such al order, and ramify so far and so fnsid- iously. and would brand with so hot an iron if clues were faithfully followed. the unsuspected but deeply guilty, that such exposure as would compellingiy arouse the people" especially those most deeply concerned. is beset with difficulties and challenge. Neverthe- less, I, for one. devoutly hope that | "campaign" will be initiated and foi- lowed up that will do better than put on the gloves;" viz, accept the chal- 1enge and discard gloves. There is no such blight besides as Is this pestilence In darkness. Yours faithfully,

ECONOMY ADVOCATES
 TO OPEN FIGHT ANEW
By Associated Press

Washington, June 5.-Undeterred pJ defeats on naval and deficiency appro' rrIation bills, advocates of ecoonmy .u tho Senate announced themselves ai ready tonight to start drive to reduce the appropriations carried in the armt bill to be taken up tomorrow by thu Senate.
 The principal fight for reduced ap' propriations in the army bill as is the case In the navy budget Is expected to center about the personnel iten The former, as reported by the Senata military affairs committee, would pro' vide for an army of 170,000 men, h compared with provision for an enlist ed personnel of 150,000 men in tht measure passed by the House. Al' though the TO- ,000 total was agreed of unanimously by the military affairi committee. two members of the cont mittee, Senators Lenroot, republican Wisconsin, and Hitchcock, democrat Nebraska, are understood to feel thai the number fixed by the House would Dc sufficient for the next fiscal year.
 The bill to be taken up tomorrow represents an increase of S15,000,0O0 il appropriations over the measure aa passed by the House. This increase II largely due to the additional 2O,00t men provided for.
 The bill, however, represents uet crease of $10.74S,0 900 from the army bill pa ssed by both Houses of the last Com gress, but vetoed by President Wilson
 Chairman Wadsworth of the military affairs committee expects to obtain I final vote on the bill before the end o' the week.

to me put his hand on my shoulder and in voice which everyone in the room could hear. said:
 Schwartz did you say there was no communist party in American
 T was surprised and answered that l had not said we had no communists but that we had no legal communist party.
 I'm glad you didn't say it. Reed declared still In a loud voice, and walked out of the room.
 Shortly after this I was given an ex- hibition of the power he held over the administration. 1 had seen him tearing through the streets with Lenine and Trotzky and Zinovieff in official auto mobiles, evidently on the best of terms Then Lenine put through a resolution at the Congress that only Russian, Ger man and French should be spoken.
 STICKS TO ENGLISH
 Reed heard about this an hour or so after the resolution was passed and he came stamping into the convention in a rage. He was a dramatic figure. He were no coat and his shirt was open at the collar He walked down the aisle pointing his finger at Lenine. who was in the chair; in the meantime, speaking rapidly in English.
 English is not to be spoken here, Lenine shouted, rising from the chair.
 Reed continued in English, declaring there were 27 delegates who spoke Eng fish and English must be one of the lam guages of the convention. Lenine fi- nally heard him through-and revoked the resolution and made English one of the official convention languages"
 When Reed fell i'll of typhus he was given every possible attention, MT. Schwartz said. and when at last he died his funeral was remarkably resplendent. He was buried under the Kremlin walls.
