MACKENZIE PASTELS

Birmingham art lovers are determined that the Mackenzie pastels of the steel industry in this district shall be kept in Birmingham" said Hartley Anderson, secretary of the Jefferson County Art league. "Thesc pictures so typi- cally represent Birmingham that this is cer- tainly the place they should remain.
 If these pictures are kept here in some public building they will become the nucleus around which the city can develop creditabe art museum If several more collections as good as this are purchased we will have to build an art museum in order to care for thena."

national conference. They thought he could do the democratic party most good by declin- ing and criticsing for any failures of the con. ference.
 Underwood was appointed by the President because of his great ability and breadth of statesmanship. He was appointed because of his patriotism and love of constructive govern ment and service to all the people rather than to mere party political advantage
 David Lawrence in Washington dated sym dicated article in yesterdays News speaks of Senator Underwood's lack of aggressiveness in leadership, in that certain democrats, think he should have endeavored to defeat the treaty with Germany and made it easier for the ulti- mate entrance of the United States into the league of nations.
 As a matter of fact the great sentiment of the American people has been expressed against becoming member of the league of nations with it's involving entanglements
 Indeed now is not the time to play the game of party politics for the offices and the power. The government of this country, involved as it is, needs the aid of every good American citizen. The problems are almost as serious as when we faced war.
 Then the republicans ignored political ad- vantage and became Americans. Now is the time for democrats to do likewise
 There will come ample time for the game of politics year or two hence.

AMERICA WELCOMES A
 GREAT SOLDIER

At long intervals there comes time when the fate of nations depends on one man. For him there is imperishable fame, good or bad. As long as history endures he will be hailed either as benefactor to humanity or great destructive influence.
 America has just now as her guest a soldier who, more than any other single individual, saved civilization in the World war. He is not big man physically. There is no fuss or buster about him. He is modest and quiet and one of the joys of his life is small brier pipe he smokes at every opportunity.
 This country has had many distinguished visitors in it's brief history and has done them honor in it's characteristic, whole-souled way, but none has been greater, none has had stronger claim to our affections and our ad- miration than Marshal Foch. He tyHfies the spirit, not alone of France, but of all the nations who stood with their backs to the wall and wrested victory from the most powerful military machine that has ever been hurled into battle.
 To President Wilson goes much of the credit for insisting that the allied and American armies be placed under the direction of one commander, but Marshal Foch had the greater glory because he proved to be the man for the

BIRMINGHAM'S BIRTHDAY

From the Louisville Courier-Journa
 Celebration of Birmingham's semi-centennial is more than ordinarily noteworthy. To be only 50 years of age is distinction shared by few towns situated near the Atlantic littoral or in the lower south. To become within half cen tury after the first human habitation was built on it's site "a leading industrial center of the south and one of the potentially great urban communities of America is remarkable achievement which is Birnlingham's alone. Lit tie wonder that the Alabama town is exultant this week as its gates open wide.
 That the old order changeth, yielding place to the new is happily illustrated by Birming- hams story. In more ways than one this story rings with pluck and pathos. Boom" days have been Birmingham's-d when the from tier spirit leaped high in the towns life. Days of 1871 and 1872 when coal veins were struck in the hills near Birmingham, and when "pros- pectors'' made their way to the little settlement in north-central Alabama. Days also of the early '80s of the last century when 'the bottom seemed to drop out of everything" and when anything Jess conquering than "the Birmingham spirit" might have been tempted to despair. Days also of the panics of 1898 and 1907, when stoutest hearts wondered what was in store for the place and its people.
 Through each of these trials Birmingham has come with spirit undauted it's
 "Two- bit grin
 And lifted chin" finding or inventing some way out of the dark ness.
 At length, has arrived day of security when men who have wrought for Birmingham no longer required to stand on the hills overlook ing their city and exchange comforting thoughts like 'My, but this is a beautiful view" supple mented by admonitions like, 'Yes, but a man can't support his family on view alone;'' and when big things are planned and put through. Wealth is Birminghanl's; assured wealth, with capital safely invested and with labor well rewarded. The industrial, commercial and business life of the community rests upon foundation not easily to be disturbed.
 With wealth have come education, power, culture-craving to have and taste, to enjoy the finer things of life.
 "A town of cheerful yesterdays and confident
 tomorrows,"
 Birmingham well merits the hearty felictations that go to her from all sides.

JOHN KEATS
(Born October 29, 1795. Died February 2,
 1821.)

(Born October 29, 1795. Died February 2,
 1821.) By Herman E. Hoch. Gentle natured, yet with how with passion strong
 He strove for purest art More lasting fame Is his than won by bard since Shakespeares name
 With splendor gan to light the ages long. Not his to please the modish-minded throng, Butwith his poets soul set all aflame, Caring for naught but Beauty's glad acclaim. He struck immortal chords of matchless song. His odes to Autumn and "Grecian Urn" Have filled my world with joy in bygone days,
 And still with ecstasy oft return To catch the music of those wor rous lays. And ever, when for heights serene yearn, find in Keats the soul of prayer and praise.

THE TEXAS WAY

The breezy Texas delegation to the American cotton congress has kept things going The southwesterners seem to be men of action. They do not talk much, but when they do they say something. c. A. Moser, talking of the sue cess of the Texas cotton marketing system, said:
 "When we saw it was good, we went to it. You fellows east of us are fine speakers and your addresses are inspirational, but our slogan when we get together is to decide what to do next and then do it."
 Judging by the speed of the Texas marketing system in getting on it's feet, that is the Texas way of doing.

h New YORK, July 26.-The Dry Goods
Economist says; American styles for
fall Show tWo distinct silhouettcs, In
sharp contrast with each other. One
OF these Is characterized by the straight
lines, with width above the waist inc.
This form IS the natural 6utcoihc vi
the favor shown TO the loose b,ou c
and the uncorseted figure, The other
Silhouette is created by the fitted
basque and the full skirt, If reflects
the spirit of the Spanish and Italian
Renaissance.
Salient characteristics of the FIRST
style are. Simplicity of lines. breadth
of shoulder( with kimono or dropped
armholes, extremely wide sleeves. low
waistline, one-sided fastcnings from
high collars to irregular hens and
straight.lme skirts.
The second style allows a wider
scope for diversity of trimming and the
execution of details Its salient fca-
lures are overskirts and panels snug
ely fitted waist tightly buttoned basque
and even tendency toward wired pan
els. The sleeves featured with this
fitted basque are small and tight not
extending below the elbow Even.
ing dresses OF this style are sleeveless.
The coat styles for TALL aud winter
reflect both of the 81 houette styles
above described Thus the new seu-
son coats are In decided contrast to
the dolman wraps which a year ago
dominated the coat field
The ripple skirt and fitted bodice in
coats are meeting with considerable
degree of acceptance, sb much 80, in

this coming winter.
In these coats the sleeves are set In
