Automobile Tendencies.

The tendency of the coming years in
automobile construction is likely to
be toward lighter weight cars, says c.
f. Marden, automobile expert for the
Boston Transcript, after studying the
displays al recent motor shows.
The times of flush spending have
passed. Business is going to be done
on closer margintha formerly. The
majority of motorists feel the neces-
sity for economy. AS the aggregate
weight of the ear is reduced. the en-
gines can be lighter and more COM
pact. since there will not be so much
power required to haul the load. En-
gines of that type will consume less
gasoline. Lighter ears involve a
smaller tire expense.
In Europe the demand for economy
is leading to lighter cars. The newest
European makes are small, and yet
very efficient. They can go anywhere,
but not at high rates of speed. In this
country, the crowded condition of the
roads tends Is restrict the demand for
high speed cars.
The light car will not be any less
expensive. Less weight will mean
that better materials must be used
with a higher grade of workmanship.
Automobile engineers do not see how
prices can be reduced at present. AS
labor costs are scaled down, prices
eventually are likely to be shaded
bat they are probably fixed for this
season. People who contemplate
buying in 1921 might as well get il
now, and have the use of it,.

Would Abolish Railroad Commission

One of the big bills which is ex-
peCted to come into the Legislature
next week is a measure to abolish
the present railroadcommission and
to create public utility commits
sion of three members. The fact
that Governor Blaine has made no
appointment to the railroad COM
mission in the place of John S.
Allen, whose term of Office expired
in February, is taken to mean that
the governor will wait the DISPOSE
ton of this proposed bill in the
legislature. This bill will be offer
ed by Assemblyman F. J. Peter
son, Milwaukee. 1t will place a
limitation on the earnings of public
utilities and if passed would make
it possible for Gov. Blaine to reap
point an entire Republican public
utility commission.
Governor Blaine has signed the
appropriation for the state board
of health. This bill carries an APP
preparation of approximately SI4o, :
900 annually. In the bill is a
provision for carrying on child
welfare work in the state. Scores
of petitions, hundreds of letters and
kilograms from women's organiza-
tion in the state, asking for the sign
ing of the bill were received by the
executive office. These petitions
and letters indicated that under
the plan of child welfare work pro-
posed approximately $500 babies
under one year of age may be
annually saved in Wisconsin. The
executive approval means that this
child welfare work will be continu-
ed on a plan more extended than
heretofore.

Decision on Soldiers Bonus.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court
on Tuesday affirmed the decision
of the lower court holding that a
soldier could obtain a bonus if his
legal residence was in Wisconsin.
This will give bonuses to about
5000 additional soldiers, many of
whom came to Wisconsin before
induction into the service and
claimed this state as their residence
and others of whom had left Wis
consin, but still claimed Wisconsin
as their residence.
The court holds that under the
language of the law, Lindemuth
the claimant for the Bonus, was a
residen. of Wisconsin although he
registered in Michigan. 1t holds
that the fact of his induction into
the service from Wisconsin where
he had been residing and intended
to reside did alter the fact of his
registration in Michigan which was
the deciding test of the place of his
residence.
eve feel that we have paid much
to demonstrate the obvious" says
Justice Owen, the sole question
is whether the residence of the
appellant is to be determined rs of
the date of registration or Undue
ton into service. The act plainly
says the latter, in view of the fact
that the date of registration could
have been so easily declared, if such
had been the legislative intent, we
see no reason or excuse for ascrib-
ing to the language other than its
usual and ordinary meaning. The
peremptory writ of mandamus was
properly granted"

Thomas A. Edison recently re-
marked that he considered the eight
hour day a very bad thing for pro-
gress hat he was glad the eight
hour day had not been invented when
he was young man or he would not
have accomplished very much in his
life. He said in those days there
were drOnes the same as there are to-
day but the difference IN them was
that they tried to cover their laziness
by seeming industry while today there
is no incentive for even this-men are
not even ashamed of their laZiness.
They are supposed to work eight hours
but, whether they work or not. if they
belong 10 the union they are paid,
so why work.
We won't 90 so far as to say we
agree entirely with Edison. He is a
super man, both in accomplishment
aud endurance. Perhaps eight hours
of good honest work every day is
enough for the average man. At
least 1t entities him TO good living
But it Mr.. Edison had to contend with
men who wouldn't even work eight
hours he would have cause to tear his
hair and rave. And that is exactly
what lot of factory superintendents
have TO contend within fact it is
what nearly everyone has to contend
withifhe employs any number of men.
These are the men who are clogging
the wheels OF progress today and who
are making our pre-war industrial
basis such difficult matter to
re-establsh.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
City Tenm Work

Closer cooperation among the south's larger cities is what we are working for" said Clark Howell, Jr.' city editor of the Atlanta Constitution. A Rotarian, he is in the city attending the Eighth district convention.
 With Dallas. Nashville, Birmingham. New Orleans. Atlanta, Houston Mem phis, and other cities of that calibre working together and for each other in the furtherance of 4he south's and the nations interest. we can save many years.
 Not for moment would I advocate an abatement of the keen friendly riv- airy that is a tonic to these cities now, but in many things the greater south ern cities could aid themselves by do- ing team work to get some asset for one of the number when the interests of the others were not affected.
 The spirit of what l am driving at was exemplified by the way men from all parts of the states extolled New York while in Europe during the war. That applied to all southern cities will work wonders

THE ORIGINAL GAMALIEL
From the Milwaukee Journal

Gamaliel. from whom the new Presi- dent takes his middle name, lived in the fifteenth century. B. c.
 He was the son of Pedahzur and prince of the children of Manasseh. the son of Hezekiah. whose father, Anon. was king of Judeah. When the Lord commanded Moses to number the chill dren of Israel from 20 up that were able to go to war Gamaliel was among those named to assist in the census. He was in the list of whom the Bible says. These were the renowned of the con gregation. princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel"
 On the eighth day of the dedica tion of the tabernacle, GamalieIs offering consisted of one silver charger weigh ing 13o shekels; one silver bowl of 70 shekels, after the shekel of the sane tuary, both filled with fine flour min gled with oil for meat offering; one golden spoon of 10 shekels full of i'm cense; one young bullock, one ram. one lamb of the firstyear, for a burnt of fering; one kid of the goats for sin offering; two oxen. five he-goats, and five lambs of the first year for sac- rifice of peace offering.

 Out of the Queen of Scots entire tur- bulent career MT. Drinkwater, in his new play. Mary Stuart.e has distilled within single episode the head of her tragedy and the significance of her character. He seems to have accepted Swinburne's catalogue of her traits. "Easiness gullibility,. incurable inno- cenee, and invincible ignorance of evil incapacity to resent or suspect any thing. readiness to believe and forgive all things" But he has dignified and at the same time humanized this DOT trait by showing her conscious of her weaknesses and powerless. because of them and of the conditions and person alities surrounding her, to combat them. By her self Understanding she become not only a more tragic figure, but also prism through whom we may perhaps comprehend others of her type and sympathize with the difficult inn passe which life has woven around them. Here is no intriguing queen controlling the flight of the moths at- tracted by her flame, but a woman fatally resigned to permitting the moths to scar themselves and collide with each other in the dance of death.

 An interesting trade in the Carolina mountain counties of Ashe, Allegheny and Watauga is that in what are known as crude drugs; in other words, herbs, plants, roots, etc.
 Some families have for many years devoted all their time to gathering these from the mountainsides, live in tents and move from place to place until all the materials in range are gathered.
 A considerable number of farmers spend part of their time in this. line of work and get more money than is paid in wages in that region. while at the same time' living near to nature, the most healthfii life imaginable amid the cliffs. and with numerous rattle snakes to be watched for also.

 T have just recently sold dozen fine Jersey heifers to well-known Jersey breeder in Ohio, and could have found sale to the same party for hun dred if l had had them. I think that now is the time of all times for those who want to get into the cattle or hog game to do so, as I think the lowest level has been reached in prices. In my opinion the only thing needed is to wage campaign of buying"

Jnstice rn,rard the Negroes

We Georgians, like every one else in the south, are greatly distressed over the revelations which have been made at Monticello regarding the' treatment of negroes" said William H. Barrett of Augusta. Mfr. Barrett, who is a we'll known Georgia attorney and kinsman of E. W. Barrett of Birmingham, is at tending the Rotary convention.
 Tt is hard for all of us to realize that such thing could exist in the south as the condition which brought about, the murder of those Il negroes. And yet it impresses more than ever upon all of us the importance of stress ing justice as the basic principle of our dealings with the negroes, whether in there is an element among white peo- ple-and 1t is in the north as well as the south-which is not guided by jus tice in it's dealings, and when it gets into difficulty makes a racial appeal to save it. The representative people of the south lament this condition and such examples as this which has just been brought to light confirms them more strangely than ever in their con- viction that justice toward the negro is the only thing that will save both races from great unhappiness and dis tress."

What Denmark Is Doing
 the South Can Do Better

mRODUCTS of cotton seed are go- G ing out of the country once more in the normal volume. Holland and Denmark are enlarging their dairy herds. We sent 109 ,OO0 O00 tons of oil cake and meal to feed Europe's cattle in December. Denmark buys our cotton seed products to feed it's cattle, makes butter and ships it to this country.
 Financial America says:
 "The south has all the feed neces- sary to raise cattle, and millions of cut-over fields, barred of timber, that can be turned into pasturage. Yet Denmark, although obliged to buy large part of her cattle feed from the cotton states, was last year one of the worlds chief exporters of butter. Our own butter exports were trivial being far exceeded by imports from Denmark and other countries because American production was insuffi- cient."
 Denmark was the poorest state in Europe 30 years ago when it began the scientific and cooperative method of purchasing food for its cattle and shipping it's dairy products. It has risen to affluence since.
 If Denmark could raise itself drought cattle industry depending on imported feed, certainly the south, where cattle feed is raised at lowest cost and is most abundant, can do the same thing. If there is money in transporting products of cotton seed across the seas to feed cattle and shipping the butter back to the peopie Who TdiSeu tne colIon, there ought to be money in using the cot ton seed in the home manufacture of butter.
 Backwardness in the south is large ly due to slowness in seizing an op- portuhity.

Memorial Library Planned
 by Central High School Clas

7NHE class of 1913 of the Central U High school, will found a me morial library in the new school building in honor of OrvilIe M. Cos ton, former member of the class, who was killed in the Argonne, while serving as a second lieutenant in the American expeditionary forces. Lieu tenant Coston was prominent in many activities of the High school while he was student there, and was a popular young man.
 The class of 1912 is to he congratu .ated for undertaking the task of re- storing the High school library, which was almost entirely destroyed whe.i the schoo. building burned. There are at present only handful of books available to students, who have to depend on the public library for their research work and parallel reading. The fact that the new library will perpetuate the memory of war hero should enlist the sympathies of every patriotic citizen of Birmingham, for it is the people of Birmingham who will be asked to donate the books.
 Nearly every person who has any books at all possesses volumes that are not read and are of no further use 10 him, or her, but would be a vaiuable contribution to the High school library. Some discrimination must be used, however, in making contributions. Standard authors and books of reference will be most ac- ceptable, but those who wish to helr this worthy cause are urged to give any books that can be dispensed with
 Two committees have been appoint ed by the class to handle the de tails of the campaign which is now under way. All alumni of the High school are expected to cooperate, as we'll as every one in Birmingham who is interested in the public schools The appeal made by these young mer and women cannot be refused. The board of education, it is said, will spend most of the money available for that purpose on the new Higl, school building and the accumulation of an adequate library will be slow work unless the public generously lends .ts assistance.

prayer beads These two articles are the only reminders of their glory of a former day.
 Yet when they invite you into their dugout it is with all the grace of pre- war days. It is dingy down there. The little room is filed with smoke and the walls are covered With mildew and slime The hacking cough of Madame tells it's own pathetic tale. Sitting in these squalid quarters. your mind wanders back to tn, days when a great house stood above tapestries. the old lamps, the marble statutes. the liveried servants, the library rich in the treasures of forgotten age.
 We fell to talking of other times. When I was a lad,'' explained Monsieur le Baraquet, T have watched Empress Eugenie, herself, ride up to this house I mean, of course, our house as it was in an elegant coach of fours. have watched her as she stepped out on the carriage stone that you will still find in front of our dugout. She was great friend of my mothers. When brought Madame, as my bride, to this home, Eugenie attended the ball my father gave to honor us. Little did he know that we were destined to be the last of our line. Our son, Pierre, died in the first battle of the Marne
 Monsieur turned suddenly to stir up the wood fire in the French army stove. The embers were fleecy white, growing gray I turned discreetly to where Ma dame sat on the edge of the packing-box bed. Madame is deaf, so she had not heard the name of her son. Her eyes peered far into the gloom, dreaming of the fair ladies of old France that once had crowded her salon.
 Suddenly her face changed and her eyes sparkled brightly with a new fire.
 The old house knew many a famous guest Pierre, to be sure!' she cried But this new home of ours, this dugout it has sheltered many a brave soldier We have reason to live here in greater pride a new glory for the old.'
