PICKFORD'S SECRET

From the Louisville CourierJournal. HH0 VIZ spent as much I5 hours in
 a photograph studio without
 stopping to eat" says Mary Pickford in the story of her life, which is appearing in the Courier-Journal Sunday magazine. I've seen the photographer and his assistants cave in and my maid quit under the strain"
 Perhaps sit does not occur to those who see her in the movies bundle of curls and f1uffs and charm, to spec ulate on the years of tireless work which she has spent, to achieve her success. But the revelation of that fact >by Gladys Mary Smith, Mary Pickford, Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, brings home the too little regarded moral that behind the most brilliant and scintillating success Is sheer labor.
 Mary Pickford, after all. Is only a Cinderella. Her magic appearance at the ball in resplendent garments. her triumphal ride in a coach and eight her conquest of the Prince were all prepared for by long days of work by the chimney piece and long nights in the comfortless garret. Nor is Mary Pickford unique in this.
 The royal road to fame and success Is work. The great lawyer whom we see making forceful and compelling argument before the court is enabled to do so by hours of hard. dogged study in his library The eminent surgeon whose feats with the scalpel are her. aided spent years and years of prep aration conquering failures and disap- pointments.
 So is it with the leaders in every thinkers, writers. scientistsS and ar lists who have risen above their fel- lows have done So by constant appli- cation and by unremitting toll We see them in their hours of triumph and forget the rest.
 Thus Milton-lover who over many years had read the works of that poet said that his greatness was due to tsiS oPCht6HSAtSt " eAAS ScSy AAO VI AAS language which must come inspired from his pen. By chance he obtained the manuscript of Milton poem in the poets own hand. It was one of the pieces that ssfmed so facile and graceful.
 To the connoisseur's surprise. the manuscript was filled with interlinea- tions, words crossed out and replaced by others, scratches that told of vain attempts. In fine. the divine spon- taneity was nothing but hard work. There are. of course some who by accident of birth or some lucky chance rise to positions of great power and influence in the world. But here the exception proves the rule. King Georgs

Mississippi Honors
 the Jersey Cow '

66 TERsEY week. is being observed
 O in Lauderdale county, Missis- sippi. The Lauderdale County Jer- sey Breeders are devoting this period to an exploitation of the merits of the Jersey COW as a milk and butter pro- ducer. Similar observances are be- ing carried on throughout the coun- try.
 It is quite fitting that men from time to time do things like this that bring home to them the services of their useful four-footed friends. There should be a real affection be- tween man and the dumb animals. The results will be greater and bet ter in accordance with the develop ment of that feeling, for animals re- spond to kind treatment prompted by affection quite as much as humans.
 The man who recognizes the value of a pure-bred animal earning for him profit over and above Its keep will next, develop appreciation of the trained and perfected man. That course of thinking will urge him to more liberal support of schools and more generous attitude toward good roads and businesshke market ing methods.
 The dairying industry is one that fits Alabama to nicety and in no quar- ter will the energy of farmers be more efficiently. directed. The pure bred COW, the honest one giving gen. erous return for the care accorded her, is the foundation of that in dustry.

Profanity and Fat
 as Aids to Honesty

7N HE recent statement of a surety U expert that profane men, fat men and married men are considered the best risks has not been given the editorial attention it deserved. Ac- cording to his theory, profane man gets rid of his meanness by swear ing, or 'letting off steam" Fat men who are in love with their stomachs are too well satisfied with life to take the trouble to be dishonest and family ties keep the married man in the straight and narrow path.
 All of which is interesting and can doubtless be proved by statistics which can prove anything, even the success of prohibition. That married men are usually more reliable than bachelors is an accepted fact, but a facility in the use of paths is not sc sure criterion. Most crooks are pro. ficient in this regard and many g man whose honesty is beyond ques- tion never swears, except possibly when he is out of luck on the gol1 links or the family flivver develops g temperament.
 Leanness is no bar to virtue, bu, it has been the fashion for centuries to place more confidence in fat mer than in lean ones.
 "Yon Cassius has lean and hungr,
 look;
 He thinks too much; such men arc
 dangerous"
 is typical of the way scrawny mer are regarded. On the other hand there are plenty of Falstaffs in this world. It is melancholy fact that : man may be fat and none the less : rogue.

THE NEW "AGONY"

From the New York Times.
 columns of personal" advertise ments in newspapers-the so- called agony" columns-afford good view of current social conditions. What men and women need or greatly desire there appears. Their changed circum- stances are often reflected in their printed appeals. In glancing. for ex- ample. at the personal columns of Eng fish newspapers, one gets vivid inn pression of what the great war did to alter standards in society Take the question of employment. Ex-army men let their wants be known in this way: "SPORTEMAN-Will any sporting in- fluential man give or help ex-officer
 just demobilized to find a decent job
 with liveable wage? Age 30; excel lent references; gentleman by birth, worse luck! Good education. fair ap- pearance; eight years in bank, seven

 Or this:

Splendid Examples for
 Birmingham to Follow

A LTHOUGH the Make It Mil AA lion" campaign of Birmingham Southern college has been started with a remarkable outpouring of con- tributions and there is every indica- tion that it will be successful, inter est in this movement should not les sen until a million-dollar endowment is assured.
 The financial plans of the college will mean, when carried out, an insti- tuition of which Birmingham will be proud, a college that will take first rank in the south and provide means to obtain higher education for hun dreds of students who would other wise be compelled to leave home and might be denied such advantages be- cause of the expense.
 Birmingham is great industrially She must become great culturally Only by the whole-hearted co-opera- tion of her men of wealth and the majority of her citizens can this city make the progress that insures mental and spiritual development along with material advancement.
 Oklahoma City college is raising $1,5O0,00o by June 8; the business men of Dallas, Tex, gave $1,000,000 tc prevent the Methodist Southern uni versity from closing; Memphis has raised $600,0O0 to obtain college for that city; Atlanta has given $1,000,- 900 to the Georgia Institute of Tech nology. It is the same story through out America. The needs of colleges are being met by generous contribu- tions from the people who believe in education.
 Birmingham will surely do as much, if not more, for Birmingham-Southern x college than cities of less population and wealth have done for their higher institutions of learning.

An Item of Lumber and
 the High Rail Rates

A MONO facts that cannot be ig- EA nored is this one sueeinctly re- lated by the American Lumberman:
 For the first thyee months of 1920, before the heavy railroadS freight rate advance, 1,000,O0O feet of lumber from the Pacific north west was moved by water to east ern markets. In the first three months of 1921 water shipments from the north Pacific coast reached 42,OOO,OOO feet. although business during that season has been below normal
 The high rates by rail and the low rates by water brought about this remarkable change. These rates are a condition, not theory.

Reristration Time.

When the registration books of the county are opened in July for 10 days we anticipate rush." said George c. Moore, member of the county board of registrars
 Many women who are entitled to register failed to do so when the books were open before. and they will no doubt take advantage of the op- portunity at this time.
 There was such long line of per sons waiting to register practically all of the time the books were open be- fore. and many were unable to wait their turn, having taken their lunch hour for that purpose.
 All persons who have not regis tered and are entitled to vote may do so in July, and we are expected to reg ister approximately 15,000 during the 10 days we have the books open"

THE LATER MIR. GoMPERs

From the New York Times.
 For a year or more 1t has been get ting harder and harder to reconcile the conservative MT. Gompers of the years before the war; most of all with the ardent and helpful patriotic Amer ican MT. Gompers of the war How dissonant from that MT Gompers, how damaging to that public confidence which he won slowly and is losing so rapidly. is the MT. Gompers who spoke so wildly at Cooper Union! Why does he rail ASsthe courts and repeat in effect the silly. violent hoodlum text that "injpnctions don't go"? The use of the injunction against picketers vio- lates every law. he declares. is con- trary to our institutions, and so on. The industrial overlords' are trying to substitute an industrial autocracy for political autocracy."
 This sounds like the rant of some soap box radical. The leader of great labor organization. the measure ot whose strength Is the coincidence of its aims and methods with national sentiment. can't afford these excur- sions into unreason. He impairs his influen-e i- tho community. Poise, judgment. sense of responsibility are expected of aim; formerly. not ex- pected in vain. This defer and inn peacher Of judges. this forcer of the note of violence is personality com pletely dissociatsd from the moderate, prudent and patriotic MT. Gompers that was It is the theory of his dis tressed Neli-wishers that he feels him self compelled to adopt this unhappy tone by the pressure of his enemies, extr snjsts, tho men who are trying to oust him, to disrupt the federation or turn it into the paths of revolution. That seeras fantastic explanation He cannot conquer by surrendering. The spouters pf the left will always out clamor anc outbid him. Meanwhile. he will weaken or lose the indispensable sympathy Qf public opinion.
 He had lis lesson in this very Coop CT Union neetnig. Some women booed him. Sorns men tramped out while he was speaksiae. The enthusiasm Of the people 10 whom his heated remarks were addressed didn't flow to him. A later speaker mentioned the august name Of the martyr" Debs. At once most os the audience jumped up and cheered tumul tuouslyl and long. There were cheers 100. for that abdicator of mar tyrdom, Big Bill' Haywood. now | in parts of the soviets. MT.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Dr. Morroyy as Fisherman.

Robert S. Warner, a Birmingham re- tired merchant, who spends his win ters at St. Petersburg, Fla, and is the veteran fisherman Of that place, tells this on Dr. George M Morrow, who spent some time in St. Petersburg last winter:
 'Dr. Morrow was with our party one day when we landed 140 fish weigh ing from one to five pounds each. He was especially lucky and got enough of 1t. Fina1fy, bafting his hook. he cast the bait languidly into the water and said, I hope I don't get a bite
 "Dr. Morrow visited place close by St Petersburg couple of days and came back with great tales of the fishing there. I asked him if it was as good as at St. Petersburg. He re- piled, Why, man, you have to hide behind a tree when you bait your hook"
