IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Shades Mountain Development

"A resort of the first class on Shades mountain Is an attractive proposition" said Robert Jemison, Jr., president of Jemison & Co. Nothing but hrst-class one is to be thought of. Any second-rate per formance would be unsatisfactory, and in my opinion unprohtable.
 The Shades mountain proposition, to be successful. should be on a large scale, and should not be confined to building and operation of hotel and Fits grounds. Parties undertaking this enterprise should secure a large acreage so as to profit by the devel- opment that would follow in the wake of the building of the resort.
 Signal Mountain hotel is not by any means all of that proposition. There are scores and scores of pri- vate homes on the mountain, many of them quite handsome; so many, in fact, that there Is postoffice up there to serve these mountain dwellers
 Shades mountain offers fine op- portunlty for something really big"

THE CLASS IN COSMETICS

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Cleveland high school girls are to have a class in cosmetics. Of course, it will not bear that title officially. It will be conducted by the super visor of home economies. subdivision, ners to cosmetics Is an easy transi- ton. How to behave properly natur- ally leads to how to appear properly. And there you are.
 The supervisor, asked how paint and powder got into the game. ex- plained that she did not consider the use of a little powder criminal. es- pecially if ones nose had a tendency to shininess. Nor would she deny the use of little color to the girl who has a sallow skin. The crime was In and the same was true of perfumes.
 Next thing We shall hear of the school toothbrush drill being joined by the powderpuff and rouge jar parade. Yet perhaps 1t will be all to the good. Since ''flapperdom" will insist on cosmetics it will be dis tinct gain if they can be induced, or instructed to use them without "obviousness." Most of the criti- cism Is due to that overemphasis which proclaims art when what should be sought is an approach to natural beauty.

ALABAMA,s OPPORTUNITY

From the Mobile Register.
 Judge Turner of. Grove Hill called attention in his recent charge to the Clarke county circuit court grand jury, to preseRt-day tendency to- wards disrespect for the law. The judge sees necessity for healthy pub lie sentiment In favor of law enforce ment pointing out that it Is useless to try to enforce a law that is un- supported by the people. The judges warning which members of all state lt gislatures as well as national law makers might do well to give <theIr more earnest consideration. Unpop- ular legislation undoubtedly breeds disrespect for the law. A persons conscience becomes less sensitive with each violation of the law. It is easier to break the law a second time than the first. The third in- fraction carries with 1t less pro- nounced rebuke by ones conscience lndU thC ScCOhu, anu cO VH- ho moral Is do not make the first mis- step.
 The legislature of Alabama, for in- stance. has rare opportunity to ef- feet most constructive legislation during it's present session. These men have been called together for such a purpose. The state of Ala bama stands at the door of oppor- tunity. A mistake may be far reaching if not dangerous to Ala bama's future expansion. The legls- lature should ever keep before 1t the several constructive measures on the calendar and by no means should It's members permit themselves to be in- fluenced by passion or ill-considered advice. Now Is Alabama's oppor- trnity. Shall we grasp 1t or shall we unwisely throw 1t aside?

WILSON AND ARMIsrIcE DAY

From the New York World.
 Following a published report that Woodrow Wilson would not be asked to attend the Armistice Day cere- monies, Secretary Weeks, who has charge of the arrangements, sought out President Harding and discussed the matter with him. Tt would be most appropriate to have MT. Wilson as a guest of honor at the ceremony" said Mir. Weeks later, and l believe I will extend him an invitation"
 There can be little doubt that It would be appropriate, to invite MT. Wilson to commemoration of the armistice wich he brought about It would, in fact. be the gravest dis courtesy to omit him from the occa- sion. The astonishing aspect of the situation Is that Secretary Weeks ap- pears to have had his programme practically arranged when he hap pened to remember the former Presi- dent, who was commander-in-c n-chief of the army and navy of the United States during the war.
 But there are lenghs to which par tisan politics cannot afford to go, and even the irreconcilables of the Senate would hardly adjudge MT. Wilson out of place at the grave of the unknown American soldier in Arlington Ma tionaI cemetery on November II. After repudiating the peace so valiahtly the republicans cannot consistently appropriate the armistice To do MT. Harding justice, we do not believe he would wish to do 70

loaned to them because they offer the best security.
 The Tennessee Valley has always been 6 good agricultural section. It did not suffer the reverses the black belt did following the war and the farming out of plantations to untu- tored negroes. Madison has always led the state in the value of its farm products.
 The black belt went into the cat tie business several years ago and has found it profitable. Some of it's larger creameries send their products to market in carloads, and it has rlocal creameries where all the profits go to the associate cat tie owners.
 The loans to these sections are
 
 direct result of their progress along agricultural lines, because the lend ing of money is not altruistic. It is business matter and must have se- curity for basis.
 The borrowed money means liqui- dation of debt, improved farms and farm homes, and the ability to make further progress. In the end it means larger cities consuming the products of the farm and making what the farmer asks in return for his crops.

TURKISH ATROCITIES

Col. Thomas E. Lawrence, in the Worlds Work for October. describes a village sacked by the Turks in 1918:
 The village lay there quiet before us, under It's slow wreaths of white smoke, while we rode toward il guardedly. There were some gray heaps in the long grass, pressed into 1t in the close way dead bodies lie. These we knew were Arabs. But then little figure tottered away from one. as though trying to escape from us. It was a child or years old, whose dirty smock was stained red all over one shoulder and side. A little nearer and we saw that 1t was blood from a large half-fibrous wound, perhaps from lance-thrust. just where neck and body joined. The child ran few steps, then stood still and cried out to us, in tone of astonishing strength Gall else be- ing silent). Don't hit me, Baba." Abd el Main choked out something Git. was of his own village and per- haps of his family), and flung him self off his camel to stumble kneel- ing in the grass beside the child. His suddenness frightened it. for it threw up its arms and tried to scream, but instead it dropped in heap. while the blood rushed out again over It's clothes: and then, I think. 1t died.

A Low-PRICED MONARCH

From the New Orleans Item.
 Possibly when Great Britain ob- serves the scramble among public of- ficials for larger salaries lon account of the war" and remembers that King George is the most poorly paid king since Cromwell struck them all off the pay roll. and hasn't received a raise to offset higher cost of living, it finds that he Is not so much of an economic burden.
 King George receives s2,57S,oo0 a year, but spends s2,o00.000 putting on style In behalf of the nation maintaining royal establishments he doesn't want to live In and paying troops of servants he doesn't need His predecessor. who had no H. c. L. to combat, but did much entertaining, received s2,715.ooO from the nation The good Queen Victoria being ( woman, managed to get along or $2.075, ,000 a year and saved s1O,oo0,o0t out of her salary.
 The four previous Georges didn't stint themselves. George I received s3, .000 a year, George II, $4,00o,0o0 and left personal debts for tho nation to pay exceeding s2.0Oo,OUO; George III averaged s5,000,0 and Parlia ment voted him s2o, 900, 900 extra iron time to time. George " received nearly se.0oo.0oo year and left un' paid debts behind and so did William and Mary and Queen Anne. the latter leaving 8 legacy of $s,25o,vvo debt tc the nation. Charles II. the pleasure loving, managed to exist on $4.0oo,' 900, and James II, the poorest of tn, lot. had the highest salary of all-- s7,5o0.00o a year.

Business Is Good

"Businsso has picked up remark . ably In tho last 30 days" said c. M. Campbell, veteran shoe salesman "The country stores are buying free iy. Cotton has been ginned and the farmers are liquidating rapidly. This puts the country merchant on Easy street and he Is placing or ders accordingly.
 The commIssaries of the smaller coal producing concerns have also been buying freely, but some of the larger concerns have not done as much, according to size. However, that is coming very soon, following the resumption of furnace and mill activity. In my opinion business will get better and better for some time to come"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago News.
 The path of duty runs parallel with the road to happiness.
 When a man is little mellow he imagines that he Is ripe for anything. i. Some people are criticized because they won't talk, and some because they will.
 Many man invests in gold brick under the impression that 1t Is a golden opportunity.
 A woman wouldn't mind being poor so much if all her acquaintances were just little poorer.
 Any man who thinks more of dollar than he does of his self-respect is in the insult-proof class.
 In a small town the monotony of a woman's life would be unbearable ex- cept for the gossip floating around.
 Whenever you hear one girl speak of another as being good and sensible It Is unnecessary for her to add that --A is homely.

Cooperative Effort
 Saves at Both Ends

1rRUCKERS and farmers of lief Il ferson county have purchased 10000 fruit trees comparatively at 10 cents each. The customary price is 50 cents.
 Individual farmers, who failed to take advantage of the cooperative purchase through lack of notice and the like, purchased trees at retail for 25 cents each.
 The 25-cent trees were obtainable at that price because dealers knew of the cooperative purchase move ment, and felt the force of the conn petition.
 Not many years ago the hog rais- CTS of Alabama drove their swine to the county site and took whatever price the local dealer would give. Later the county agent established cooperative marketing and hog sales days. The hogs were assem- bled for carload shipment. Chicago and East St. Louis were notified and the days market price was paid. Not only that, but the local merchants who wanted hogs, were forced to pay the Chicago or East St. Louis price less the freight.
 That is what cooperative market ing and purchasing mean, lower prices for what one buys and higher prices for what one has to sell. Whenever the Alabama farmer as a mass hews to this line, he will be the veritable master of his destiny.

 BuaY Times

People have certainly kept me busy during the last two weeks In making preparations for the semi- centennial exhibits" said c. N. Wiley of the semi mi-centennial exposition.
 Everybody connected with the ex- position has also been busy and many dealers and other business men of Birmingham have already secured exhibit booths. The finishing touches are now being made, and everything will be in readiness for them to be- gin filling the booths tomorrow morning."

TIT is noteworthy that life insur- ance company, which is lending
 $2,0O0,O00 this year to the farmers of Alabama, has placed the largest part of that money in southeast Alabama, the next largest in the Tennessee Valley and the third largest amount in the cattle raising district of the black belt, extending From western to southern Alabama.
 The farmers of southeastern Ala hama were first to practice diversi- fIcAtion. They are white men and do their own work. They have led the van of farm progress in the state and thsy have made money. The ereatsr portion of the $2,o0o,00o was

word From Former Citinen

'Birmingham's former citizens fre- qHently write the Chamber of Com merce for information" said Charles F. Yarn, assistant secretary of the chamber. To-day I received letter from L. P. Worl. now citizen of Manufactured. Wash, who was for mer secretary and treasurer of the EIyton Land company. He makes ln- quiry about the manufacture of sul- phate of ammonia in Birmingham, and wishes to get in touch with the makers.
 "Mr. Worl says his state is becom- ing interested in the use of ammoni- um sulphate for fertilizers, and in- inmates that considerable business with Birmingham by-products plants may be the outcome.
 Tn his sletter he asked to be re- membersd to former Birmingham friends and acquaintances."

 In reverent sense it was Jesus of Nazarth who was the worlds first real democrat Tho individualistio doctrines of the Great Teacher prompted Him to make 8 direct at tack upon theocracy. He never makes the slightest attempt to observe the customs and habits of theocracy. We find him eating with publicans ana sinners, allowing His disciples to pick corn on the Sabbath, to eat bread without washing their hands. and generally ignoring the elaborate ritual which was the foundation Of the theocratic control which Moses had imposed upon the people.
 But I have opened up too big a question. The thing set out to make clear is this. In these days when there are so many obscurantsts and men are crying for the light, the quickest way to get it will be for the statesman of the nations who gather at Washington to realize that Jesus is the Light of the World, and that the only way to dispei the darkness which enshrouds mankind will be for them to follow in the path which He biazed nearly 2,ooo years ago, and quit wandering helpiessly around in the man-made by-paths which end always in gloom.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLDLY Frank Willis Barnett

We are in a fog these days. There Is mistiness of mind. The atmos- phere is so dense that the people are wandering around in circle. So men stand at the cross roads arguing In the dark
 Every now and then some man bolder than the rest brings out his little lantern and shouts out through tho gloom to others to follow him and he will lead them into the light; but few heed the cry, preferring rather to stay in the treadmill which they know.
 It's hard to get people who are lost and groping in the shadows to believe that any one with a lighted torch knows the way, and knowing human nature 1t isn't at all surprising that a rush light procession does not grow into a mighty army. but at best consists of little band of hardy pioneers.
