Likes New Paper

When I picked up The Age-Her- aid Wednesday morning I didn't rec ognize it," said Brown Parkes. as sistant manager of the Jefferson theatre. t''For the first time in years l had to turn 1t over and look at it the second time to recognize it. l couldn't think what had happened. and then suddenly it dawned upon me that it was an eight column pa- per.
 Tt looks fine. too! There's more class and tone to it, and I congratu- late the paper upon its literal broad ening out and becoming an eight column daily.
 The steady progress and splendid improvement of every department of the paper during the past four months has been very noticeable; especially the illustrations; pictures always add interest to stories, and The Age-Herald's plan of printing the small cuts of the writers on the front page, as well as otherwise, is very attractive. The Age Herald is certainly credit to Birmingham. and l am proud of it."

DELAYED PRAISE FOR J. B.

From the Baltimore American.
 Alcohol has a few good qualities, after all; so it would seem from the protest against prescription restric- tions sent to the Holy of Holies in Washington by the American Thera- peutic society, an organization Of learned physicians who are con- cerned chiefly with the study of pre- yentiye medicines. The resolution commencing the beneficent qualities of John Barleycorn IS said to have shocked the nervous system of Angel volstead, who broods with sad righteousness over the house judi ciary committee and directs the up- ward and onward course of prohibi- tion legislation.
 John Barleycorn doubtless will ac- knowledge with ghostly gratitude this posthumous tribute to his better nature, but the learned doctors who went on record in his favor do not seem to realize that it is much bet ter for a man to die of sugar in his blood than for him to live by the grace of Satan. That is the real point it issue. We must be righteous at any cost. even the cost of death.

Justice to Civilians
 Who Served Abroad

@ ENATOR UNDERWOOD has | 0 succeeded in having the Sen ate pass his bill extending federal compensation to include civilians who served with the American army abroad in the World war. To Senator Shoot, who contended that this would result in 'lot of swivel chair heroes" getting money from the treasury, Senator Underwood replied:
 l intend to keep thls bill hang
 ing to the neck of the republi-
 can party until justice is done
 those men who, though not sol
 diers, suffered and died like sol diers.
 Senator Underwood's position is sound. An army does not consist exclusively of fighters. There can rot be fighting men without those ministering to them so that they will be in fighting trim. Those who serve soldiers often run <the same risks as soldiers.
 If they have suffered by reason of their service, they are entitled to compensation the same as the fighting man.
 To do justice to those who par ticipated in the war, it must be borne in mind that duty performed in one field of war activity is as much duty as that performed in an- other. The nation was out to win the war. We could not have won it in front line trenches not sus- tained by other lines.

A TOWN OF ECCENTRICS

Agnes Repplier, in Harper's Magazine

 6N TOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH
 claimed for Portsmouth S proud pre-eminence in eccen- tic characters. There was some thing in the air of the place, he said. which for 200 years generated eccen- tricity.
 a small town is more universal than Mir. Aldrich suspected. His elderly gentlewomen with family jewels and personal peculiarities'' might have found their counterparts in Massa- chusetts and Virginia. But there are stories incrusted in the social history of Portsmouth which lend color and animation to it's pages. It was. for example. an undoubted eccentricity on the part of Gov. Benning Went worth to marry his handsome serving maid, Martha Hilton. and make her mistress of the vast. rambling man. sion on Little Harbor, with it's family plate and family portraits, and the great ornamented council chamber where matters of state were dis cussed and settled. The story goes that Martha. when a bare-legged girl of 15. had told her skeptical towns people that she would yet ride in her own chariot. At this point her pro- phetic vision seems to have closed. She saw no warning picture, of the merry and well-born spend thrift she was to marry after the death of her august spouse. nor of the poverty which followed wealth when the Wentworth fortune slipped like a wine cup from his careless hand. It h something to be gentleman. but 1t ia not everything.
 This truth was made manifest when another eccentric notable of Portsmouth. George Jaffrey, third oi the name. left his estate. including a family mansion with singularly

 Wild applause. Nobody misses the allusion. which intoxicates the rich Dusseldorfers with indescribabIe mirth, and every look is turned upon the solitary Frenchman. apparently calling upon him to bear witness to wit so sparkling and epigram so appropriate.
 After this the programme aban- dons the joys of the intellect to set the machinery of voluptuousness go- ing again. An orgy in the palace of the caustic raJah Is presented in which the rajah suddenly becomes satyr. The dancers reapPear more nearly nude than ever, and this time a young man. as scantily clad as they, joins in their frolics. The or- chestra screams and out in front of the footlights comes a tiny boy, dancing in horrible imitation of his elders.
 For moment fancy that this is going to enrage the audience and | they win hiss. Oh, of coursel Now they are at it themselves. couples everywhere leaving their seats and madly dancing. They dance on the stage. all over the room in the bar. on the stairs--everywhete. 'Let us be 1nstig!'

Bond For Suits

Tn serving on the jury during the week." said Mir G. Rotholz, the First avenue merchant tailor, yesterday, T have been impressed with the fact that the next legislature should pass law compelling every one bringing damage suits to give bond for double the amount he is suing for.
 If this were done. it would do away with 75 per cent of the small damage suits and would give us much more room in the courthouse for practical purposes.
 As 1t is now. all manner of petty damage suits are brought and tried. One case tried during the week amounting to about SIS feel quite sure costs the county something like s2Oo.
 As we all know, hundreds of dam age suits of no merit whatsoever are brought and tried at an expense to the county. Parties suing for dam ages should be required to give bond"

Fl. J. Porter to Make
 Home in New Orleans

M WORD of congratulation is in A order to Henry J. Porter and his sons upon the announcement that they are to open the fourth big store of their southern group in New Orleans.
 From one standpoint this is a feather in Birmingham's cap, for it was in Birmingham that MT. Por- ter opened his first store in 1904, and the success here led directly to the opening of mems stores in Jacksonville, Nashville and New Orleans.
 But after ali, the credit goes to MT. Porter and his organization, for it is their own methods and per- sonal efforts which have met with such cordial response from the peo- pie of this city,
 Birmingham sincerely regrets that the senior member of the firm is to make his future home in New Or leans, though he will naturally be here frequently. MT. Porter during his residence in Birmingham has been decided factor in civic affairs. He is an indefatigable worker for his church and he has been active in every movement fostered for the best interests of Birmingham.
 New Orleans will find him con tinually well worthy of the cordial welcome it has already extended to him.

Alabama Ideal for
 Raising Beef Cattle

HE highest authority in the
 country declares in favor of Alabama for the raising of beef cat tie. As result of expert study of the subject in the corn belt states, Pennsylvania and Alabama, the United States department of agricul- ture presented this data:
 The cost of raising beef calf.
 12 to 15 months old. was $53.os
 in the corn belt. $45.7o in
 Pennsylvania, sf7.72 in north
 Alabama and s26.27 in west Ala
 bama. The average weight per
 head and cost per hundred
 pounds were found to be as fol-
 lows. In the corn belt calves
 weighed 45O pounds and cost
 $1l76 per hundred; in Pennsyl-
 vania calves weighed 6S1 pounds
 and cost SPA per hundreds; in
 north Alabama calves weighed
 4o2 pounds and cost $4.41 per
 hundred. These calves averaged
 12 months of age. In western Alabama calves weighed 560 pounds and cost $4.6s per l-un- dred. The average calf in this instance was 15 months old. These are facts that cannot be 
 disputed and they point to success on the part of Alabamians engaged inselligently in raising beef cattle But>it must be good stock. The re suits reported by the department were obtained from high-grade cat tie or stock that had been graded up.

Henri Beraud. in Le Petit Parisien. 1N USSELDORF, Germany.-The ilO visitor climbs a staircase and.
 on the second floor. Is admit ted to room flooded by glaring red light from colored lamps. Seated about the round tables are 100 or more Germans. all smoking, girls in apple green gowns and monocled ex- officers, very stiff in elastic belts. From pails of ice protrude the long necks of wine bottles; thick pail of tobacco smoke pillows under the cell ing in the scarlet light, and an or chestra, 10 men in yellow blouses, roars and thunders like artillery in action.
 This is a dance cabaret such as you will find on every street corner in the cities of poverty-s stricken Ger many. The place reaks with the fumes of wine, perfume and perspira- tion, and sodden gaiety holds sway. Bottle follows bottle; the guests pay the walters with 1000 mark notes and crowd toward the bar. where a fountain of cocktails flows into silver goblets. And when the French vis- itor comes in. every chin goes up. seemingly to show how proud the owner or the chin is of this ersatz Montmartre.

 u school bonds by the city of Birmingham, at time when there Is financial and industrial depres- sion throughout the country shows the confidence investors have in this city's ability to meet it's obli- gations. Five firms bid for these bonds, and it is worth noting that three of them were local firms.
 The terms provide for the pay ment of $1O0,0O0 in cash and $1OO,- 900 monthly. This will make funds available for the early construction of grammar schools, which are greatly needed to meet the educa- tional needs of rapidly growing city.
 The city commissioners will be highly commended by the people of Birmingham for their success in dis posing of the school bonds to good advantage.
