"OH GRAVE. WHERE IS THY
 yICTORYt"

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 In an unusual breach of promise to marry action filed in the little town of Danyers, Mass. the court is called upon to determine whether or not man can escape financial re- sponsibility for his folly merely by availng himself of the expedient of dying. The woman in the case seeks tc recover s20,00o from the estate of her late fiance, who died intestate.
 The petition recites that in 1886 August Mead asked Mary Galllvan to become his wife. Mary was willing. A marriage license was taken out, but for some reason the wedding was postponed. Mary at all times was Willing. but August was resourceful and apparently bear at manufacture ing excuses. August wriggled and squirmed through some 30 years, oc- casionally taking Mary to church "socialsn and town meetings, ana finally in desperation died Mary feels August didn't tote quite fair with her, sort of spoiled her chances with any other man. so she IS suing his estate.

 BERGDOLL'S SUBSTITvyTE

rfoh the NeW fork Tribune.
 If it is Gods will that I come through, 1 shall at least feel that I have done something for civiliza- ton"
 SN wrote the man who was killed in Sergdoll's place, and whose body was buried yesterday in Philadel- phia. When the shaker failed to re- spond to the call Russell Cross was assigned to fill the vacancy.
 No coward soul was his. Even before Bergdoll hid from the draft Gross was trying to persuade the au- thorities that because he was under weight was no reason why he wouldn't make a good soldier. He eagerly stepped into the place that Bergdoll's gold had made, and went forth to death so as to make the world safe for the man whose craven spirit bade him 'voluptuously surfeit out of action"
 By failing to take his place in sHe uieit NioSer berSuou sent an- other man to his death, To the in- fanny of his cenduct toward his coun- try is added this further curse. While he and his kind lodged the service and lived at ease, Gross and his com rades prepared to make the great sacrifice. They faced death unflinch- ingly. because their souls were big enough to see that whether or not they came through they had done something for civilization.
 Cross was one of these men. And Gross died. while Bergdoli lives. and not only Bergdoll lives, but the crew that sneered at and opposed the war and since the armistice has stead fly labored to undo the work of Gross and his comrades.

Low Iron Production
 Has Been Worldwide

"A CCORDING to dispatches from &A London the British produc- ton of pig iron in August was 94,- 900 tons compared with 752,000 tons in August, 1920. There were 46 ac- tive stacks in Britain compared with 303 year ago. In the United States there were 70 active stacks that pro- duced 954,000 tons of iron. Alaba- ma alone with her half dozen ac- tive stacks produced 72,000 tons, which is 80 per cent of the entire British production.
 The iron and steel industry of the world runs comparatively the same way. When business is dull in one country it is apt to be dull in another.
 likeness of American iron stacks was not due to any withdrawal of business from the American pro- ducers, but was incident to the con- suming depression everywhere. The worlds kinship in trade is as pro- nounced as in human thought and impulses.

New Orleans Society
 Wants Beer and Wine

66@ ELF-DETERMINATIoN"will
 0 be given hearing in New Orleans in the Liberty Day pa rade, October 1. According to a dis patch from that city, society men and women will take a prominent part in the parade and will ask for the return of light beer and wine They are opposed, however, to whisky and the saloon.
 There is no one so bold nowadays as to stand in the market place and shout for John Barleycorn. As for the old-fashioned saloon, it hasn't a friend in the United States, unless he is to be found in the ranks of bar tenders who are reduced to earning g livelihood by serving soft drinks to the younger generation.
 The attitude of New Orleans toward beer and light wines, partic- ularly light wines, requires little ex- planation. Famous the world over for catering to the wants of the in- ner man, prohibition has weighed heavily on New Orleans, and the stranger within her gates, although rumor hath it that there is still a great deal of moisture in the atmos- phere of the Crescent City, if one provides himself with a competent cicerone.
 But to say that one many not have wine with his meals, particu- larly if he happens to have some French blood in his veins, is little short of dissertation to the culinary art. New Orleans will probably never concede that point to the pro- hibition hosts until the last survivor of the old order, those spacious days when Mardi Gras was something more than name, has gone to bet ter world, perhaps, than this one.

DISTINGUISHING MINE FIRES
By Science Service,

By Science Service,
 Wilkesbarre, Pa.-How mine fires that cannot be extinguished by di- rect attack can be fought by sealing the areas in which they occur was told by Douglas Bunting, general SUI perintendent of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company at the meet ing of the American Institute of Min ing and Metallurgical Engineers.
 As most fires occur in accessible locations, they are naturally fought direct in their inoipiency and In most eases arc so extinguished. But the extingulshing of fires by direct at tack has not been confined to small fires or fires in their incipiency, as fires have been extinguished by this method after months of work. How ever, the direct fighting of fires over long periods of time is falling into disfavor, and the safer and more efficient method of sealing where practicable is generally practiced," he said

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THANKS FOR
 NED BRACE ARTICLE


 NED BRACE ARTICLE To the Editor of The Age Herald. I have read the article of Ned Brace on hydro electric developmena on the Ceesa river in Sundays Age Herald with a great deal of pleasure, and I am writing this to thank you for the very kind and generous ex- pressions In the article.
 If more of our public men would give the Alabama Power company their sympathetic cooperation from time to time and say a word for us on fitting occasions, as you have done, it would hearten us very much and be of great assistance to us in carrying forward the tremendously important development work which we are doing for the state.
 Thanking you again for your in- terest and the appreciated article by Ned Brace, beg to remain, Yours truly, R. A. MITCHELL,
 Vice President. Birmingham, September 12, 1921.

* Y * New Senate Leader To Succeed Lodge

7H HE report from Washington
 J that Senator Lodge will be
 supplanted by new republican leader in the Senate will create no surprise. The Massachusetts states man has never been, and never could be, popular man. He is a curious type in American public life. Com bining with great scholarship rather indifferent qualities as political leader and statesman, he owes his uAsit;sn chiefly to tisne-saSving. His

Enormous Waste Caused
 by Timber Destruction

7H HE American Forestry maga-
 U zine, which is making a great fight for the preservation of Americas timber resources, pub fishes an article by Arthur Newton Pack, showing by a series of strik- ing comparisons the appalling waste that goes on every day in this country.
 MT. Pack says our annual con- sumption of newsprint alone is 2,000,0oO tons, which means "a strip of paper as wide as the New York Times and about 40,0Oo,00o miles long. Tt would girdle the world 1,600 times with a ribbon of paper two feet wide. The 2,500 daily news papers and 14,O00 other publications in the United States sooner or later find their way into the waste paper basket. There is some justification, however, for the consumption of print paper. That could not be re- garded as waste, although it shows the drain made on the available sup ply of wood pulp.
 Fire losses and reckless cutting of timber are the chief dangers to be eliminated, if we are to conserve our timber supply, The value of timber and property destroyed by forest fires in the past five years is esti- mated at $S5, 100000. The United States forest service says forest fires destroy two billion feet of tim Der annually, GOT material enough to build five-room frame house every hundred feet on both sides of a road extending from New York to Chi cago." Of the more than 100000 for est fires which have occurred in the United States within the past five years it is estimated that 80 per cent were caused by human agencies, which means carelessness, and could have been prevented.
 The protection and conservation of forests cannot be too strongly urged on state and national legis- latures. Few people realize what it means to the future of this country, timber being one of the most indis- pensable products nature gives to mankind.

Mislending Signs

am certainly glad to see the board of revenue under the highway engineer to tear down all advertising along the highways maintained by the county because of misleading mileage information" declared James F. poopins- secretary of the Birming- nam Automobile club, yesterday.
 The situation before this order went out was very confusing. A mo- torist might well believe that he was going backward instead of forward so Inaccurate are many of the signs Here you will see that it is 10 miles to Birmingham, while closer toward the city it is announced boldly that the distance to the Magic City is 12 miles. It was time to call a halt and am glad to see the board of revenue art v
