LESS TYPHOID SINCE WAR

Whatever harm the world war did us we must admit advantages gained in few directions. One is the free dom of men of draft age from typhoi6 fever. Before that time typhoid fever was especially disease of young men. Since that time almost nation wide figures show that the disease has decreased so much more rapidly among men than it has among won- en that it has now become a woman's disease. About 5000, 900 men, those inoculated against typhoid between 1914 and 1918. have been relatively free from typhoid since then, and still are in some measure. I dare say most of them have dropped most of their health habits since 1918; but 1t is a good bet that the average man trained in health protection in 1917 and 1918 will never forget wholly what he learned about keeping fit during those years.-Milwaukee Journal

Strand

There opened at the Strand yester- day "39 East" the screen version of Rachael Cruther's famous stage play of the same name. Both stage and screen have given to patrons many plays and pictures with wayward sons of ministers in the title role, but it remained for Miss Cruthers to supply novelty in "39 East" of fering as the heroine a pretty un- sophisticated country minister's daughter. This girl arrives in New York expecting to carve out her for tune and future, but finds that work in New York city is a bigger job than she had ever tackled. For bread and butter she drifts into the chorus of a Broadway musical show. The man. ager invites her out to supper. It would probably spoil the picture to lift the veil and give you a peep at the ending of the story. One thing is sure, you will like the way this minister's daughter handles herself and you will get many a laugh out of her experiences.

Ex-President,s Pensions

"Whoever wrote the editorial for Fhe Age-Herald yesterday about pen sioning ex-Presidents is, in my opin- ion, to the quill and ink pot-perhaps it is more often the typewriter now what Babe Ruth is to limb of quar- tered hickory and a horsehide pill" said G. Lewis Bailes, assistant city att torney, last night.
 Americans like home runs because it takes a man to Diff 'em out;' we like democracy because it took real men to make it possible, and to pass it on to posterity. It takes man to become the President of the United States, man with democratic con- cepts and sympathies.
 The great rank and file of Ameri- cans feel that any man who would ac- cept pension as an ex-President be- cause he felt it undignified to work could not, have rightly represented us in the first place and, instead of being a man to be held up as an example to be emulated, he should be pointed to as 8 anachronism and a relic of the days of the divine right of kings. Only we could not say it as the editor did"

* * * Worth of a Library to a Community

1HHE board of revenue of Jeffer- u son county has voted $10,000 for the establishment of rural libraries. ! A wise law passed by the last legis- lature enables this expenditure to be made.
 These libraries will be operated in conjunction with the rural schools. They will be available for the old as we'll as the young. They will be of incalculable benefit to the communi- ties in which they are established.
 As knowledge penetrates rural community ignorance and misunder- standing of the true relations of the citizen to his state disappears.
 Most crime is due to ignorance. Dipping vats are blown up by men whose mental attitude toward the state is wrong. They confuse what they want to do with citizens legal independence.

UNDERPAID DIPLOMATS

From the New York Tribune.
 IN an interview published in the
 June number of The Worlds Work
 Secretary Hughes expresses an ap- preciation of the need of better pay for our diplomatic service.
 The duties of diplomatic secretaries are not generally understood in the United States. People seem to forget that as the official representatives of the American government they must handle the routine work with the gov- ernment to which they are accredited and at the same time must gather in- formation about conditions in foreign lands and must receive and be received by state officials in varying degrees of formality. They are looked upon abroad as the representatives of the richest and most powerful na- ton in the world and 1t Is ex- pected of them that they will live and act accordingly. Certain standards are thus imposed upon them and must De accepted uHuer pain or loWeriHS lilo prestige of the government which they represent. This need not imply luxury, but it means that they must be suita- bly housed and able to entertain sim- ply any one from the minister of for eign affairs down.

 As a result, the American people will have to pay the price of pro- hibitive tariff which keeps out for eign goods in what they buy, our foreign trade will be crippled and the return of national prosperity, which is dependent on the economic recov- cry of Europe, will be retarded.
 Any democratic candidate for of flee, as Major Jeffers is, can make strong appeal to voters by pointing to the republican party's record since it has been in office, which is a sharp contrast to the achievements of the democratic party, not for the benefit of any one class, but for all the American people.
 Senator Underwood declares, "I do not believe the voter of the country will continue to indorse an admins tration that has promised much and accomplished nothing for the relief of the distressing conditions of our country, and I, therefore, believe that you will receive in the coming cleo tion an overwhelming majority, worthy of yourself and the great party you represent"
 The voters of the Fourth district have an opportunity to check repub- lican inroads on Alabama and elect competent man to represent them in Major Jeffers, who is the logical successor to the late Representative Blackmon. Major Jeffers should re- ceive the majority predicted for him by Senator Underwood.

No Change of Heart
 in Republican Party

TN letter to Maj. Lamar Jeffers, lU candidate for Congress from the Fourth district against Judge A. F. Longshore, republican, Senator Oscar w. Underwood arraigns the rcpub- lican party for failing to keep it's promises and clinging to the old idea of protective tariff for special in terests.
 The republican party, as Senator Underwood says, is the same organi- zation that has always played into the hands of 'sbig business." Pro- hibitive taxes at the customs house will prevent foreign nations from buy ing American products in the only way they can buy them now, by ex- changing their goods for ours, since America has become creditor na- tion, with the worlds gold supply in its.vaults and American securities no

 q consider the plan of the Exchange clubs of Alabama to take charge tor the campaign to raise the sS0,000 needed to insure the starting of the Alabama School of Trades and Indus tries at Ragland as one of the finest and most useful undertakings any organization could perform" said Arr thur Wellborn, prominenc Anniston banker who was in Birmingham yes terday.
 We must maintain Auburn and the University upon the high plane they now are and to do that means that there are thousands of poor white boys who have not had educational ad- vantages who cannot enter those schools.
 The solution of the problem is to support the plan to raise this fund which will insure the start of the school as the state has already made some appropriations. Once started, there will be no lack of support either from .be state. the federal government or the public."

 our first line of defense should be ap- preciated sufficiently for the country
 to demand that the service be made
 attractive to the best men in tho coun- try. g Until 1t is adequately paid and of-s fers a future this will not have been done. | MT. Hughes summed up the situation as follows:
 '1f we want to assure a first-class diplc matic service, with certainty
 that young men of brains will join the corps, they must be certain that by
 diligence and application they can rise
 to the top in their chosen career and that they will not be deprived of ac- cepting the highest honors that can come to them because of lack of means nrcperlv to represent the government"
 The Secretary of State has an excel- | lent opportunity to make his hope l come true. The time is here to place the diplomatic service on the high plane which 1t deserves.

Solve It With Building

Despite much talk of depression, Tuscaloosa is going ahead with a lar ger building programme than it has ever had, said Sam F. Clabaugh. cashier of the City National bank who vas in Birmingham yesterday.
 Lumber and labor have greatly de- creased and the people who needed bones and other structures are taking advantage of the situation to get their building at a low price and a; the same time add to the general pros perity and decrease unemployment.
 T think real building boom throughout the country would greatly improve conditions and would put us far on the road to total recovery.
 Probably the best thing Tuscaloosa is doing now is the construction of a modern country club. When it is som- rleted, we can provide some fine sport for devotees of golf"
