ENTERTAINMENT WRITER"

Frederick B. Pierce, in The Literary
 Review.
 Literary men are supposed to be like women. varium ct mutabile semper. and this has turned university dons against them. I once had an argument with 8 very dignified but not especially liter ary college official. "Ah!" said he. you literary men are 50 temperamental" Then he went on to sing the praises of certain great fact research stars in his faculty. I kept my tongue idle and my brain busy. Alas and alas! As if great fact research specialists were never temperamental. AS if they never whit ened the hair of their deans or black ened the bile of their colleagues. When Walter Scott entertained at hiS home the half insane antiQuary Joseph Rit- son. was 1t the urbane poet or the ill., balanced editor of accurate texts who was the more temperamental? In the famous quarrel between Furnivall and Swinburne the noted Shakespeare scholar proved himself slightly more cratic than even tho most tempera- mental poet of the nineteenth century. Everybody wknows that Byron got half drunk to write Don Juan." How many realize that the great university pro lessor Person got one hundred and five one-hundredths drunk before featuring to that same Byron at Cambridge? Por- son. with his inexhaustible memory and unQuenchabls thirst pouring out hcxa- meters and hiccoughs to his astonished classes--was there ever a more temper amental being?

% $ E A $36,O 100000 Hay Crop '. Wortb CtandardixipO

1r1HE Alabama cooperative crop u reporting service estimates hay crop this year of nearly 2,000,000 tons. At an average value of SIS per ton, this means yield of $36,$ 100000.
 How much of that will get to mar ket is the question. Certainly more of it will reach the market and find takers if it is graded and standard ized before it leaves the shipping depot than if it comes in a mixed state.
 Gallion, Ala, hay growers have formed an association whose object is to grade johnson hay before it leaves for the marketing centers. This should be done in all the growing bureaus of the hay counties might well undertake.
 The United States department of agriculture has certified that johnson hay is more nutritious than timothy, yet many stock feeders cling to tim othy at higher price because they know it is graded and have accepted it as a standard.
 The Alabama hay grower must es- tablish his standards the same as the westerner has established his. The average man will pay premium for assuredness. This applies to hay as well as to butter, hats, shoes, and clothing.
 Two million tons of hay is worth grading.

An interview with Dr. George w. Mo-
 Coy, director of the United States
 Public Health Service Hygenic
 Laboratory, Washington (By
 Science Service.)
 TN medicine, whats next? Today's
 need is not more Knowledge of S cholera, typhoid. dysentery, bu- bonic plague, or the dread diseases that have decimated past armies and civilizations.
 According to Dr. George W. Mccoy director Aof the hygienic laboratory of the United States public health ser vice. the next step in investigative medicine that scientists arc striving to take Is to learn the nature and control of the so-called respiratory diseases. such as influenza, pneumonia. tuberculosis and meningitis.
 If I had s5o,0Oo for medical re. search, I believe it would be used to study these diseases" pr. Mccoy said when questioned.
 Relatively little is known about these diseases that the doctors assume dIc dil -SdlIlCQ anu tAdL aI0 tASA - fore labelled respiratory" Tn most cases 1t is not known in what manner or at what stage of the disease they are spread.
 During tho influenza epidemic that swept the country in the winter of 191S-19,N intensive tests were planned in an attempt to discover the nature of the disease. Two groups of doctors and<volunteer subjects went into iso- lation. one party in Boston, the other in San Francisco. All possible precau- tions were taken to make the tests successful. Infected food, and other material from the bedsides of infiu- enza sufferers were taken to the men who were willing to risk their lives to gain scientific knowledge Days passed. Finally the group Tn oan Francisco received telegram from Boston: we can't infect our volun- teers.'' San Francisco physicians had had no better luck. Both tests stopped. In the cities many were falling i'll every day. yet science was baffled when 1t tried to cause the flu to catch among the volunteers.
 While the amount of our knowledge regarding these 'plagues" of today IS .mall, much money and the energies Of many men are beinE spent in fndinA out what they are and how to combat them.
 Even the germ of that disease which we all get sooner or later, measles. has not been discovered, nor has any one been able to tell at what time dur ing the progress of the disease the in- lection takes place. although practi- cally all that come in contact fall be- fore 1t. Similarly the germs of humps and influenza have thus far successfully hidden themselves from man. although their actions have caused much trouble. We do know what the germs of tuberculosis, n'cn- ingitis and some kinds of pnp ~..o { | look like.

BABY P1LGRINis

From the Philadelph4aa. Public Ledger.
 A touch of%natture that makes the world Lin has assured Q fervent well como in America for the babies of in- determinats paternity that have been brought here from Great Britain for adoption. The 1s that arrived on the Aquitania found clamorous, heart- starved applicants waiting for them. But the little ones are not to have fos- ter-parents impeFsonally inflicted on them; they are to do their own choos- ing. A peculiar embarrassment arises in the case of the twins who cannos unite in choice of parents-to-be.
 Tho pictures show children that, with receive, should prove credit to any family. It is one af the pitiful ironies of fate that such bright and attractive youngsters should be denied homes of their own, not merely because of par ertal need, but in some cases because of callous parental indifference. Those into whose hitherto childless homes they come will lavish upon them . de- votion that Is real and abiding. They may be trusted in the majority of in- stances to ..eward that devotion with real affection and to acquit them selves with credit to themselves and to those who received them into their homes. If they were abandoned 1t is not their fault. Their new fathers and mothers will do the best they can to atone to them for the cheerless pros- pect lie offered them at the beginning.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Poll Tax Decision

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 l observe in The Age Herald today that the poll tax amendment will be submitted to the supreme court in a validity test next week.
 It seems to me that this test should not be brought up and made at this time. but that it should be passed up until after October |. when those who may be affected by an adverse de- cision may protect themselves.
 There are hundreds of officers elected by the people. all acting in good faith. who will be thrown out of office. disfranchised and embar- rassed, and some of them greatly in- convenienced. should this matter be decided at this time, and the decision be adverse. and the writer has little or no doubt that the result will be as that of the good roads bond issue amendment
 It is certainly no fault of those whom 1t was intended to beneft. ana 1t seems to the writer that it will be a great injustice to call the matter up and decide 1t now.
 | Why not wait until after October |, 1921? Then if the law should be i'm valid the officer who has been elected by the people may pay up his poll tax, thereby qualify for holding and continuing to hold the office to which he may have been elected. and the private citizen who passed the matter up thinking he was exempt may pay up and not have to remain in a dis 'franchised state for several months.
 This Is the very smallest thing that could have been done for the ex- service men. anyway. and to bring this matter up now and embarrass them when they have absolutely no chance to protect themselves. is shame and a disgrace.
 We desire as much as any one that our laws be regularly passed. and that they be constitutional. but if the legis- lature made the error themselves do not believe those whom we all should love to honor be made the goat Very truly yours. s. G. JOHNSON.
