The Boston Globe stated Friday
that Frank II. Manchester of Cam
bridge, Mass, who in October, 1919,
obtained a divorce in Maine and La
ter married another woman, is not
the husband of his second wife"
according to a decision handed down
Thursday in the East Cambridge
court. The peculiar status of Mr.
Manchester arose because of his hav-
ing obtained a divorce" from his
wife in Maine illegally in October,
1879 according to Judge Hall. When
the supposed divorce was granted,
Judge Hall held, Mr.. Manchester
claimed Maine as his residence,
while he was a legal resident of
Massachusetts. Also, the judge held,
he went to Maine with the express
purpose of obtaining a divorce. Now
his divorce" is set aside and also
his wife is asking that she be divorc-
ed from him.

Great Disappointment

Yesterdays z to defeat for the Barons at the hands of the Memphis Chicks in 12 innings must have been a great disappointment to the hun drods of Birmingham fans who took advantage of the Frisco's excursion rates to accompany the team to Memphis" said Ed Beaumont Jr. Upon inquiring into the matter. it was learned by an ardent Baron fan, a friend of mine, that three train leads of Birmingham folk, a large majority of them Baron fans, had secured reservations for the Satur- day night excursion to Memphis.
 Birmingham and Memphis are great baseball rivals this year, and when the Chicks finally won the game after going into three extra innings. it must have been a sick bunch of Baron fans who caught the midnight rattler for Birmingham last night"

What then should be said of the soldiers of George Rogers Clark as they struggled across the desolate waste of the Drowned Lands of H. linois in the bitter winter of 177s?
 Early in 177s Colonel Clark learned that the British had recaptured ViA- cennes. He resolved to take Hamil-' ton, the English leader, before the Hair Buyer'' could march against him. On February l, With lIO men, he set out upon the march of 24o miles. At first the weather was not cold, but the plains of Illinois were covered with water, making the march difficult and fatiguing.
 Finally they reached the Drowned Lands" of the Wabash country The two channels of the Little Wabash were originally three miles apart, but the flood had made one great river five miles wide. Clark hewed a. boat from the trunk of a tree anu in this clumsy craft the men were slowly ferried over the first channel and placed on a scaffold erected on the edge of the flooded plain. The second channel was crossed in the
 same manner.

TALE OF A TERRIBLE MARCH

Then began the worst of their ter rible Journey. They were forced to march in icy water up to their waists. The stock of provisions be- gan to give out and many of the men were rapidly becoming exhaust ed by their hardships. There was no place to build fires and at night they lay down in their water soaked clothing. which in the morning was frozen to the ground. During the day they stumbled on, their numbed feet searching vainly for a footing in the mud. But through drawn lips and, chattering teeth they muttered feeble jokes--and still pressed on
 Once when they came to a bit or dry land but discovered even deeper water before them some of the men were ready to give up the attempt to go on. Their commander took some powder in his hand and smeared 1t on his face. Then he uttered an In dian war whoop. The significance
 
 the expedition failed the savage allies of the British would be turned loose upon their settlements and the fate of their women and children was too horrible to contemplate. As Clark dashed into the water they raised a feeble cheer and followed him.
 So he led them on, half frozen, near- ly starving. but brave of heart ai- ways. After many weary days their sufferings were rewarded by the sight of Vincennes. Forty-eigne hours later the American flag float cd over Fort Sackville. At the end of one of the most terrible marches in history they had found as their reward the winning of an empire for their country, never to be lost again.

Turkish engineers built great bridge over which passed their main highway between subjugated Hun gary and Constantinople. over this bridge and through Baranya passed the turbaned hosts of Turkey to lay siege to Vienna and so to threaten the whole of central Europe. The bridge was destroyed in 1883 by Zrinyi, one of the numerous heroes. who, from the unconquered highlands of Hungary, harried the Turks throug ghout their rule in the lowlands. A more modern structure crosses the Drave today in about the same lo- cation, and Is one of the longest bridges in Europe.

"Housewarming" to Be Given
 By the Jemison Company

FHHE Jemison building, on the cor
 Il ner of Third avenue and Twenty first street twill be opened to the people of Birmingham today. The widely known and successful firm of Jemison & Company, and its affiliated companies, including the Jsmison- -Seibels Insurance agency, will have "housewarm- ing" in their new home, which is not only beautiful in it's architec- ture, equipped with the most mod ern facilities for doing business and an ornament to the city, but is a monument to an organization which has played conspicuous part in the growth of Birmingham.
 The Jemison company has de- veloped some of the largest and most beautiful residence districts in the city and its suburbs. It has helped to make Birmingham one of the most attractive cities in the south. Mountain Terrace alone is an achievement of which any firm might we'll be proud.
 In addition to their extensive op- erations the Jemisons and their as- sociates have been prominent in the public affairs of Birmingham, CO., operating Loyalty with other busi- ness men for its general welfare and advancement. For these req sons the "housewarming" today promises to be one of the most largely attended affairs of the kind ever held in Birmingham.

Depletion of the Crop
 of War Millionaires

1f1HE war millionaires did not last
 U long. A majority of them fell from the millionaire list on Arrnis- tice day, November Il, 1918, when the close of the World war found them with paper fortunes that could not be turned into dollars. Many were rated as millionaires because they would have been such had the factories which they were building to make war materials been built in time to make and to sell them. But the war ended before some of these plants turned wheel.
 New York's million dollar incomes fell from S1 to g between 1917 and 1919. That is the difference between the year before the war ended and the year after it ended. The decrease among lesser lights in the millionaire class has been in even greater proportion.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
ACTIVITY AT MUSCLE SHOALS

ACTIVITY AT MUSCLE SHOALS To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 I am spending few days here and at Florence, Investigating the situ- ation, and find that many visitors are coming into both places, seeking Investments and trying to secure op- tiens on city property at both Flor ence and Sheffield; also several very large tracts of acreage have been optioned by eastern interests, who in- tond to take advantage of the cheap power and establish large manufac- turing enterprises when Muscle Shoals Is complete. and the concensus of opinion Is that MT. Ford will eventually secure tho plant. How over. should his offer not be accept ed it is almost certain that some one else will get 1t. It has been so well brought before the attention of the public at present through the Ford offer and the merits of the proposition arc so we'll known that someone Is sure to develop It.
 note with great pleasure Mir. Laird's tribute to Dick Johnston in the lobby column of this mornings paper, and 1t may interest you to know that In conversation today with parties from tho east, who represent large interests, that they said that this column in The Age-Herald was absolutely the clearest and best writ in the entire southern country, and one of the parties wanted to know If Mir. Johnston could be secured to take charge of their publicity when they, open here, and he mentioned a. figure more commonly used in con nection with movie star salaries than with newspaper writers.
 Your article In Wednesdays Age Herald giving the interview of Col. l.. A. May In reference to the Mobile, and West Alabama railroad, was pub lished in the Florence Daily News and also the Tri- Cities Daily of Shelf field. and is receiving much favor able comment, and 1t Is quite likely that Colonel May will be invited to attend a conference of business in- terests here within the near future, and present the facts and figures about the cost of constructing said railroad. Yours very truly,

Favorable Effect

"Adjournment of Congress for four weeks has set period to the inn mediate prospects of legislation. Failure to enact the railroad relief legislation and inability to bring the tax bill to 8 definite stage of devei- opment are the outstanding points of regret among the business cominu- nity," said Henry Clews of New York. Tt seems, however. reasonably cer- tain that both matters will be at tended to at no distant date after the reassembling.
 "Steadier attention can doubtless be given to the details of pending measures duEins the recess. If SO, nothing will be lost by the postpone ment While more or less of g. for mality, the fact that Germany has now finally signed a treaty of, peace removes another uncertain factor from the situation and ought to have 8 favorable effect on sentiment"

Woodrow Wilson
 Editorials Wanted

661 INSPIRED by the nobility of
 U Woodrow Wilson's ideals" students at. American universities have organized Woodrow Wilson clubs and have undertaken to as- sist in creating Woodrow Wilson foundation.
 The Woodrow Wilson club of New York university will compile the editorials which appeared in Amer ican newspapers at the close of MT. Wilson's administration, summariz- ing his achievements. The Age Herald has been requested by Lionel Golub, president of the club, to call the attention of Alabama editors to the plan for honoring Mir. Wilson and ask that such editorials published in newspapers of this state, or the issues in which they appeared, be sent to MT. Golub, 260 Hewes street, Brooklyn, New York.
 As practically every newspaper in the United States published Wilson editorial when Mir. Wilson retired to private life, the task of MT. Golub and his fellow students is by no means easy, but editors and publishers of newspapers can expe- dite the work and make the compila- ton more complete by a little CO., operation.
 The Alabama editorials may be. sent direct to the address given above, or to The Age-Herald, which will forward them to Mir. Golub.

THE DIRIGIBLES USES

tons of explosives; on a raid stealtn- fly carried out she could demolish camps and lay fortified cities in ruins.
 The ZR-2 was to have been a fornii- dable war machine. She was to be equipped to carry four bombs of 52O pounds and eight of 23o pounds. She was to have . battery of 14 ma chine guns. and a one-pound auto matic gun for defense. So spacious were her crew accommodation that she was to serve as the aerial gem eral headquarters of the fleet. There were to be telephone communications on board and . wireless system. A dirigible like her is now building at Lakehurst. Tho American construc- tors believe that their ship will be an improvement upon the Zeppelin and the best British dirigible.
 There will, of course, be no halt in the work at LAkehurst because zR-3 proved total loss and valuable offi- cers perished. A naval policy may be changed because it is proved to be wrong. but it Is not abandoned be- cause casualties have occurred in carrying 1t out. The airplane. in tho opinion of some specialists. has ren- dered the battleship obsolete. Never theless. the battleship is to be re- tained because a greater number of specialists contend that it is the most useful unit of q fleet. But no one will argue that the airplans has ''scrapped" the dirigible. The lighter- than air ship has many uses in a sea campaign and can be very destructivs on land. The building of dirixiblss will go on. although they may be made smaller for the sake of Hrsater structural strength and security.

You may talk of your worlds series baseball games and other real ly big series between major teams, stated Tommy Tompkins, boxing in- structor of the Athletic club, who re- turned from trip to Montgomery a few days ago, but there could hard ly be more intense interest in any one series than that in the Apdalusie.- Uniontown series, which begins in Montgomery Monday.
 Why, even last week Montgomery ties were talking oyer the coming series with as much enthusiasm as If Cleveland and New York had selected the Alabama capital as their battling ground. These two little teams should stage great battle before one wins the series, and incidentally the south Alabama title.'

THE CHARM SCHOOL.

From the Chicago News.
 Growing out of moving picture by the same name, the Charm School" of the Young woman's Chris- tian association Is an illustration of a power of good idea placed on the play, the instructors in the charm school will teach young women how to be charming in speech and dress, and. last but not least. how to be charming In their behavior with man friends
 So many men, so many mi ads. But, other thrgs being equal, it seems certain that the charming girl will wln as against the merely p.l3y" or Jolly" girl. Probably the only universal charmers were the famous sirens whose song no man resisted save Ulysses, and he was lashed to the mast, tied with midshipman's hitch, a running bowline, a granny, and three Gordian knots. Even so he struggled free from all but the last Gordian. As late as Roman times the siren song was known in a few choice finishing schools, for 1t is re- corded that the question, What was the song the sirens sangw was a favorite poser on final exams" with the top flight of Latin grammarians But unfortunately neither words nor music have come down to present t;raes.
 Failing this ultimate secret. there arc still many things that charm scnool can teach. The nicer nuances 0. dress and demeanor must surely help in winning and holding a hus- banj. The latest and most depress- ing of novels on marriage shows a husband estranged by his wife's habit of clicking her heels together as she moves about the house. No graduate of the new charm school would do anything 50 ghastly.
