South Americans
 Are Up-to-date

@ ECRETARY OF STATE COLBY 0 brought back the most agree able impressions of Argentina, Bra gil and Uruguay. For that matter, all Americans visiting the principal South American countries with their eyes open, make reports just like that of MT. Colby, who said:
 It was broadening experience.
 one-that wish all my fellow coun-
 trymen might have. I know no
 better way of expressing my ad-
 miration of the people of those
 countries than by saying that they
 are. delightful progressive. en-
 frightened -- in short, worthy in
 moro than ono respect of the
 emulation of North Americans"
 Birmingham industrial experts who have been in South America looking after business interests, speak as MT. Colby has of these people.
 South Americans are not only pleasant to meet. They are also business-like. Mr. Colby reports that Argentina contemplates retaliatory tariff in case the United States raises barrie ragainst imports from that country. Argentina appears quite able to care for herself and if we are to do business with her she must also have the opportunity to sell something to us in return.
 In this age of enlightenment ma tions, like individuals, keep them selves we'll informed and arc not d. lowing other peoples to pull the wool over their eyes. Future tariff walls throughout the civilized world will be raised slowly lest they become 50 high as to provoke retaliation.

E Skating in the Streets Is a Dangerous Practice

A DEPLORABLE tragedy will re- EA suit unless the parents of Bir- mihgham stop their children from skating in the streets.
 In many parts of the city it is re- ported that children on skates hang to automobiles, street cars, trucks and other vehicles. They are risking death or permanent injury. Merely skating on busy thoroughfares where automobiles are passing constantly is hazardous, but clinging to passing vehicles is even more dangerous.
 If there is an accident which costs the life of some boy or girl, heart broken parents will have themselves to blame for their neglect, although the city authorities should do every thing in their power to keep skaters off the streets.
 People seldom realize a danger un- til it is brought home to them by the sight of maimed and bleeding form, or someone killed as a result of his own carelessness and the carelessness of others.
 By all means prevent children from imperiling their lives in this foolish manner. Skating is a healthful and enjoyable sport. There is no better exercise, but it should not be done in the path of automobiles and trolley cars, nor should the skaters be per- mitted to get lift" by trailing be- hind some vehicle that may be go- ing at a high rate of speed.

Rad Road Expense

You speak of the hopes of the farm CTS in getting through measure which would expedite the Alabama state highway commission doing some- thing to push the work on roads to a successful termination" said Charles l.. Newby, a farmer near Birmingham. The farmer needs good roads if any, body under the sun needs them. We haven't the worst roads in the state, that is true but when you take into consideration the roads such states as Illinois California, Indiana and Wis consin have, and compare them with ours here, it gives you something to think about.
 Here is an instance of how a better grade of road would not only do the farmer good, but everybody else con- cerned, Every time I haul a hog to market. especially in the hot weather, rutty roads go long way in jogging precious pounds off that hog. The bad roads make us move our produce slowly, and thsre is waste in perisha- ble foodstuffs like that which good, smooth roads would certainly cut out.

The Sun Will shine

A friend stood in the lobby of the American Trust bank watching Vice President J. Kirk Jackson as he quick ly handled customer after customer, greeted each with a smile coming and going. and never seemed to weary of the smiling job. MT. Jackson was asked if he did not get tired of smil- ing once in while. He replied:
 Why should I tire of smiling? feel all right. The Lord has been good to me. like other fellows. It is pleasant for me to deal with them. am not bored by people. They pleass and interest me. That Is why smile. guess.
 T shall never forget what Governor Seay, now dead. was ever wont to res mark to some friend of his who had a grouch that tended toward the null lygrubs: The sun will shine tomor- row, if not today Why let purely physical thing like the sun beat us to it? Smile and the world smiles with you and everyone feels the bet ter for having smiled"

T happened to get in an what to me, was an amusing conversation not long ago while coming to town on street car" said Russell Hunt.
 At one of the stops several pretty girls got aboard with their arms full of books. They really looked like grammar grade stYdents both in face. form and dress. A man after they got off at the High school, remarked to q man on the same seat with him:
 .Ain't it shame that girls with dresses above their knees should be made to puzzle their immature and un- minds at such tender age7'

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Took Precautions

lOOk EEGC4UthOmo
 The decision of the supreme court in the matter of the state road bond election, handed down Thursday, shows the wisdom of having a trained legal advisor on the spot every time bit of Legislation is passed in Montgom- ery,' said Commissioner J. R. Hornady.
 The city has practiced this precau- ton every time there has been any legislation which concerned it up in the assembly at Montgomery and 1t money.
 During the time the amendment which allowed the city to levy the D. mill tax was pending in the legisla ture there was a representative of the city in Montgomery and great many reople criticized the commissioners for keeping him there. If he had not stayed the chances are that our amend ment would have suffered the same fate as that of the road bond election ble hole for lack of funds"
 
 Decision Goes Hard
 T was just talking to some of the fellows who have done lot of hard work trying to get some good roads in this state" said Floyd Rush, and they certainly have taken the decision of the supreme court pretty hard. They have a right to. Few people per haps know how men like Henry Page Burruss and Charles L. Harold have worked for a road programme that would mean something to all the peo- pie. and it bit mighty deep to know that all this work is perhaps gone for nothing but the experience they got out of it.
 Personally, I do not like to see other states getting a split of the money the federal government would have given Alabama had the road pro- gramme been carried out, and there might be the possibility of the court reconsidering. don't like to venture guess on that, however. I just want to say we need roads, and we ought to have roads that would be a credit to the community"
