Why Coins Are MiIIed.

The milling round the edges of coins,
B. K CIV olwich), was introduced
just over two centuries ago in this
country. Previous to that time quite
a number Of people made a consider
able income by filing Il little piece off
each gold and silver coin that passed
through their hands. Things became
so bad that coins often lost a quarter
of their weight within a few months
of issue. Even tie strictest laws and
the most terrible punishments failed
to stop the practice. and our coinage
became hopeleSsly debased. Milling
coins put an end TO it at once, for
you cannot clip or file milled piece
without giving the show away.

" v q Cannot Buy of Those Who Flout the Law

r7NHE county board of revenue J took the correct position wher it declined to buy the herd of g farmer who, it was alleged, had consistently refused to dip his cat. tie.
 To have bought this farmers cattle, even though the county coulc make good use of the meat in feed, ing its county wards, would have been compromising an evasion of the law. It would have been an ad mission that the county authorities cannot enforce the law.
 Tick eradication is a settled flea. ture of the farm improvement polio, of Alabama, and it is going to be carried on until there is not a cat, tie tick in the state. Where 2 backward neighborhood allows some of its people to violate the law it is simply punishing itself.

FORD VS. WALL STREET

before he was through, without wall streets help, paid all his obligations promptly and launched his plant into an era of prosperity is one of the outstanding tales of American com mercialism. He began by getting rid of all hls surplus stock. With the aid> of his railroad, the Detroit, To- ledo and Ironton system, all finished cars were rushed to dealers.
 Many of them had large stocks on hand and were dismayed at the ar rival of more cars. But ruthlessly and persistently all finished automo- piles were crowded into the dealers warehouses. The method was sue cessful. Gradually the dealers be- gan to assimilate the new shipments. Gradually sales increased. The move was not accomplished without dire threats from the Ford company and protestations from the dealers But 125,ooo surplus cars were unloaded to the shoulders of 17,000 dealers, and before April i the Ford company had received the proceeds.
 Internally the Ford company was given physic. F'oremen were put on machines. Deadwood was thrown out. The office force was decreased and their desks were sold. Useless accounting systems were discarded. The weak spots caused by manufac- ture of war supplies were healed. A rigid application of economical meth ods was made the vogue.
 A sale of Liberty bonds netted s7,- 900, 900. A sale of by-products brought in almost s4,ooo,oo0 more. Speeding up transit of goods released $2S, 100000. Collections from foreign countries added sS,000,000. Stock turned into cash produced s24,700,o00. With the s2o,ooo.oo cash already in the Ford treasury. the enormous, total of over ss7,ooo,ooo was pro- duced almost overnight.
 The particulars of Mir. Ford's solu- ltion of the problem of impending bankruptcy have just come to light. They contain pregnant lesson for men of business all over the country. Faith in his ability to get over the crisis was MT. Ford's guide, ingenuity was his staff and economy was his watchWord

1FHE interest which Alabamians U are taking in harnessing the power of the small streams of the state points to a considerable de- velopment in this field.
 The water power commission has issued permit in southeastern Alabama for developing the power of the Perdido, Styx and Blackwater rivers, five projects being embraced in the permit. The developers pro- pose serving the cities of Mobile, Pensacola and others. Another project is for supplying-the city of Dothan and surrounding country by ! small waterpower dam.

Great Britain Abandons
 Preliminary Conference

IOY dropping the proposal for a ID preliminary conference on far eastern problems, Great Britain has removed another obstacle to the disarmament conference in Wash ington. This wise decision which was announced in official circles yesterday and is a concession to the American government, will strength cn the impression that Great Brit, ain is sincerely desirous of helping to promote world peace. It should give President Harding renewed courage to carry out his plans for bringing about international dis armament, as means to tighten the intolerable burdens of taxation which now oppress all the powers, and minimize the danger of future wars.
 Any sort of preliminary discus sion, no matter how friendly it might be, would be apt to lead to controversies which would make it more difficult to reach an agree ment. If we are ever going to make any progress toward real disarma- ment the powers chiefly concerned must discuss the problem in an at-
 mosphere of mutual good will and understanding, and avoid as far as possible the claims of self-interest.
 The attitude of Japan and Great Britain assures an amicable meet
 ing and one which promises to re- suit in lasting benefits to humanity.

Peculiar Workings of
 the Immigration Law

T7T1HE immigration law will be J more or less of a failure so long as the rule of individual fitness for American citizenship is not ap- piled. Canada solved her immigra- ton problem years ago in this way. She invites those whom she wants and turns cold shoulder to those whom she does not want.
 The quota of immigrant allow ance based on the population of the different alien clements in this country is putting the steamship companies to a lot of trouble. For instance, the steamer Megali, which arrived several days prior to Au- gust l, brought immigrants in num- bers that exceeded the July quotas for the races on board. In conse- quence the steamer stayed at sea several days waiting for August 1, when the aliens would be permitted to land. American passengers were forced to remain on the ship.
 It is notable that the nationali- ties which are. exceeding their quotas and in whose cases the inn migrants are either held or deported are, with one exception, from the near and far east, being Greeks. Poles, Jugo-Slavians, Armenians, Syrians, Palestinians, Turks, Per sians and New Zealanders. The unique feature of this summary is that very few English-speaking New Zealanders, owing to the small num- Der of them already in this country, can enter, although they are desir- able immigrants.

Heat and Flowers

During the 35 years have been a florist I have never seen any sum mer to equal this for heat and drouth, either in England or America" said Hugh Scales.
 Tt has been 8 most terrific sum mer on flowers of all kinds, hot house as well as garden flowers. I have lost two acres of asters and all most two acres of dahlias, because of the intense and never ceasing heat The flowers have been literally parch- ed cooked and shriveled.
 q had number of superb speci- mems among my dahlias--imported dahlias-gorgoeous things, but they have all gone up in smoke, so to speak. In the green houses 1t has been almost as bad; to keep the humidity at the proper point it is necessary to keep the long rows of beds in which the flowers are planted moist; mere ly putting water on them isn't suf- ficent-so it has been very difficult to keep the hot-house flowers In prime condition"

caru.o ln the Newspaper offlce

T doubt if there is any human be- ing today whose death would have created the universal sadness which Caruso's has" said pr. Frank Willis Barnett, when the cable were flash ed over the world yesterday, am nouncing the great tenor's demise.
 T suppose the same situation ob- tained in every newspaper office in the world which obtained at The e-Herald; the city editor was searching the files for cuts of Ca ruso; the feature writers were look ing up photographs and everybody was busy in the newspaper offices everywhere. ready to pay respects in glowing terms to the greatest tenor of the age.
 "Caruso was wonderful copy for the newspaper people, and while he was not lavish in giving out inter views, yet when he did grant one, it was always worth z while--some- thing for a newspaper reporter to remember all of his life.
 There is none to take Caruso's place. Many have been suggested since his illness last December--Gigli, Crimi, and others--but so far as l know Caruso was the one superbly perfect tenor, and his place will be hard to supply"

 777 HEN the homestcaders of cn MW earlier generation struck out
 to overcome a wild land peo- pied by savages and separated by weary miles of inhospitable country from the homes they left to put their fortunes to the test in virgin acres they cut themselves off from all of civilization except the fragments of it's comforts ana conveniences they could carry with them in their prai- rife schooners. The men carried rifles for human enemies as well as for eame. The wagon train was formed into hollow square at night, an armed camp against lurking enemies. The trail was marked by the whiteu- ing bones of domestic animals which fell by the wayside. Often a rude cross marked the sepulchre of some pioneer, man or woman, who had gone a longer journey while making the trip.
 
 Most of the dangers and many os the hardships which these pioneers struggled with will not affect the 2S families which started yesterday in an automobile caravan frofn Brooklyn to Buhl, in Idaho, some 2,o00 miles away. The adventurers of today travel in their motor cars: perhaps the only rifle in the party Is souvenir given to it's leader by an arms company. The Indians of the plains are subdued lot.
