 "But,' writes the committee, we are handicapped in the making of arrangements by the lack of neces- sary funds. The need of the funds has been made known to the rela- tives and friends of the conyales- cent soldiers and the outcome of the attempt 10 provide temporary happiness for them depends upon the response of the people back home with financial aid.
 The day set is May 5, and the committeeman feel confident that the thoughtless negligence thus far manifested will be remedied at once with contributions.
 Send contributions to the city commission, who have been des- ignated to raise the funds, and the whole will be wired to Wash ington May 3, In time to make the celebration success" explains the committee in Washington. Funds contributed are for the entertain ment, comfort and allevation of suffering of Alabama boys who were wounded while serving in he World war.

May I be permit ted to make the suggestion that if every imployed man, no matter in what ca pacity, in the district of Birmingham would contribute s1 each week to the re- lief of the unemployed and their fami- lies the problem would soon be solved.
 When the matter was brought to tine attention of our employees they readily responded. and it occurs to me that the plan could be adopted by other con- cerns with. I believe, equally as good re- suits. At~ any rate. it is worth the trying

 With reference to the races, we learn that the Anglo-Saxon has a higher standard of business integrity than continental Europeans, but when the Anglo-Saxon does go wrong, he usually has the courage to make a good job of it.
 the Hollanders come first in busi- Eess integrity. The Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, Germans and other north ern Europeans are a close second. Like an Anglo-Sax Swede, once he does go wrong, usually does the job well. The Latin races yield more easily to temptation than the Anglo Saxon or other continental Europeans, but as a. race the Latins are small pilferers, seldom stealing in large amounts. The Chinese are the most honest race in the world, having a standard of busi- ness integrity above even that of the Anglo Saxon.
