BEST SELLERS OF YEsTERYEAR


 From the New York World
 Casting it's computations backward through the quarter century ending with 1920, the Publishers Weekly
 brings into it's. annual summary num-
 Der interesting reminders of the best selling fiction of yesteryear. For in- stance, it recalls how persistently in 1895 we read "Trilby," causing it to be listed for five months among leaders.
 And it shows Quo vadis" so much in demand in 1S96-7-S that even now it | tops the hundred best sellers of the last 25 years.

Kick From Moxie Fan

Birmingham moving picture houses would have a much larger patronage in my opiaion, if the management would~refuse to TUT, advertisements pe- tween the shows" said R. L. Gowan' The other afternoon 1 was in nov ing picture show where they ran about 20 advertisements. The people got so tired of looking at them that they stamped and booted every time ne" one was flashed on the screen.
 Commercial advertisements on the screen are not only very tiresome, but positive imposition on the patrons oi the movies"

"1 am in a pretty good position to judge the amount of rain which falls, says Motorman Goodman, "as my run on the Mountain Terrace car line gives comes down off of Red mountain and fills up the branch which runs parallel to the car line down Clairemont avenue. Take, for instance, the downpour of Monday afternoon. It was much heavier than the average person down town would think. It came very near putting my car out of commission, as the sand, mud and rocks washed down the streets and alleys made 1t hard to keep the car on the track

Birds Arc Wi.e

The wild pigeons of Birmingham have by common consent chosen the inner court of the BrownMarx as their haven" said J. B. McClary, who has an office there.
 There are hundreds of them, and they are just now in the height or the
 mating season. 1t is quite sight to look out into the court and see these birds enjoying the safety which they know it gives them.
 Birds and animals have a keen dis cernment of the safe places and those that are dangerous and they quickly congregate where it is safe. There are few boys in the Brown Marx, and the birds are never disturbed. In the stir and hustle of great city they are as snug and protected in the Brown Marx court as they would be in the innermost recesses of wild woods"

Commends Appointment

T am delighted to learn that cover nor Kilby has appointed Major HarweH Davis as attorney general said Judge Horace c. Wilkinson last evening. Major Davis entered the service early after war was declared and served with the famous Eighty second division lie noted for bravery on the field. He IS a splendid lawyer and has most ens viable record as a soldier. He should not have any opposition for the oifice two years from now if he stands for election. Alabama is fortunate in hav-
 ing him for her attorney general

Not Traffic Broke

'.The installation of an efficient traffic squad in Birmingham will be a great thing" said L. A. Moore. At the present time there is so much cut ting corners and so much confusion that a pedestrian sometimes gets in the middle of the street and is unable to move for minutes at a time.
 Tt is very annoying to start across the street and have a car make com plete turn very suddenly right in front of you and almost in the middle of .he street. Birmingham motorists are not traffic broke as they are in so many cities. I expect it will take a good bit of hard training for them to ilearn traffic etiQuette."

Tumbling Prices

"Tumbling prices have been occupy ing the limelight for some time past, according to the newspapers and other authorities,'' said M. E. Burgess "and about every line under the sun has been affected to some degree. and that even applies to the wages of working men. It will only be a matter of time until even the highly paid railroad wage e-earners will have to accept the inevitable, but there is still the out standing fact that we people who have to pay rent have not experienced any price slash. Ths old excuse of high cost of repairs. labor, etc. is now a thing of the past, and 1t looks mighty like somebody is going to have to meet the issue soon, as far as rents are ooncerned"

An Appreciation

T have read every issue of The Birmingham Age Herald with few ex- captions, for the last 22 years said pr. N. A. Barrett. president of the city commission.
 Ut is surprising how much as matter of course a person takes the paper until-in some manner 1t is mis- laid. Then it's place in public life is demonstrated. I read The Age-Herald Id through every day with great deal of interest and don't like it at all when I miss my paper in the morning.

Sec. Competition

T do not believe the bottom level has been reached in certain commodi- ties, especially foodstuffs," said the city purchasing agent, D. E. Mckinley yesterday.
 Although many articles have been cut practically to pre-war levels of price, it seems that there is still room for lower quotations on some foods. have noticed of late that competition has become keen, and that solicitation is more frequent quotations being re- ceived from many firms offering to sell goods at greatly reduced prices."

Ralph Barrow. the secretary. has proven himself to be man of heart, arle to make dream come true, Many man sees a thing but haSn't the force to get 1t going; but he is one dreamer who has administrative ability. But Bar row isnt the only motive power behind the scheme. for Mrs. Barrow looms as big in service as does her stalwart hus- band, and wherever she goes creates en- thusiasm for it. One of the best pulling teams m all the world, and this is espe~ |cially true where children are con |cerned, is a good man and a good
 woman, and doubly so if they be hitched up as man and wife. Here is wishing the Alabama Children's Aid society may grow into one of the greatest institutions of it's kind is all the south.

last night the possibility of the
