For Good of
the Community

ONE sees less Of the American flag in
- the south than in the north There is
less display Of it where there is the most
of American blood and least of the
foreign.
Yet no soldiers were quicker to heed
the volunteer call in the World war than
the Alabama regiments enlisted in the
Rainbow and other divisions. None gave
better account of themselves on the bat
tie front.
Then why less display of the American
flag IN the south than in the east and
north? Why do we hear less of the neces-
sity OF Americanization down here? Why
are we taking this Americanization prob
lem with such serenity south of Mason
and Dixon's line?
Because there is no AUGMENTATION
problem n-Dixie. Northern persons in
terested in corporation welfare work who
have seen our corporate playground and
festival exercises, have commented on the
fact that in case of black and white af-
fairs alike the American flag was not
omnlpresent as it is on such occasions in
the east and north
To which answer has been that we are
all Americans in this neck of the woods
and do not require frequent reminder. We
have very little of a melting pot and very
little fuel keeps it going Americanism
of the south is in the bone and sinew; in
the negro as much as in the white man. In
fact, the negro in his childlike way is more
absolutely American because he has
slight conception of any other country's
ways of doing and cares less.
There is a quaint refrain going the
rounds about the enormous foreign pop
ulation of the Birmingham district. But
there is no such thing. There is no such
thing in Alabama; none in Birmingham.
Alabama has population Of 2,348,-
ia. Her population of foreign parent
age is 1851, or eight-tenths Of one per
cent; that Of mixed parentage 1850, or
seven-tenths Of one per cent and her for
eign born population is 1922, or eight
tenths Of one per cent.
Birmingham has population of 49,
500. Her foreign born citizens number
6,084, or 3.4 per cent of the total. In 1910

small percentages of foreign born COM
pared with 57.3 per cent of white natives
and 1913 per cent Of black natives, black
and white being Simon-pure Americans.
Jefferson county out Of total popula-
ton of 310,054 has foreign born popu-
lation Of 5000, or q g per cent of the total.
Mobile county with population of 101,

FL per cent.
In the great industrial center Of the
south, which has necessarily drawn more
Of foreign blood than any other part Of
the state, there is found less than per
cent of the foreign born. No need here to
keep the flag before ones eyes 1t is in
the hearts Of the people.
Then again the foreign born that are in

quate idea of the beautiful and fitting
words in which his sermon was
clothed

clan, Mrs. Frederick Shaw, presiding at
the organ. Johnson's orchestra as
