For Good of
 the Community

THE Chamber of Commerce reached A out to the young men of Birming- ham and said Be one of us.
 With an astonishing alacrity more than five hundred of these future captains of industry and pillars of community tenn ples responded Aye" and itwas done
 Three of the junior chamber directors now sit with the senior board and three of the seniors sit with the junior board. At the first meeting of the seniors with the associated junior directors present, the elders were electrified by the intelligent earnestness of the young fellows in tell ing of their activities.
 Now the juniors have become the big brothers of the Boy Scouts After spend ing some time deciding on what to do for the little fellows, the junior committee acting in this matter have formulated and are about to put into action this:
 A hundred and more questions regard ing Birmingham industrially, climatical- ly, Geographically commercially and from a civic, educational and other standpoints have been prepared.
 These questions will be distributed to the Boy Scouts and they will be afforded opportunity to dig for the information that will enable correct answers.
 Allowing a reasonable time for inform ing themselves, the scouts will be called up for examination. The most success full will be awarded medal showing that they are proficient in the knowledge of their city, the place where they live and which they love.
 These medals are to be the nucleus of further service and award. The Scout possessor of one of them will be accorded a silver bar when he is able to show hundred hours of civic service, when he can show 500 hours of such service a golden bar will be attached
 The time to learn is when one is young. The time to supply useful knowledge is when the mind is inquisitibe and has the absorbing capacity There is mighty lit tie taken on after adolescence except ex- perience. The man who does not acquire knowledge in the pliant period, goes more or less lame all his life.
 Knowledge of a thing worth while brings regard for it, love for it and ability to do for it and get the most out of it. Birmingham men who have been most pessimistc have been those who knew least about their community. The man who does not regard Birmingham beyond the lintel of his storehouse is beclouded by density of ignorance of the better things beneath the passing gloom
 The man who said You can't remove old Red Mountain" made that statement because he knows so much about ores, steel and iron and how to market them that he could visualize the eternal truth which Red Mountain does represent.
 These Boy scouts will pitch into these queries about Birmingham and torture their dads and mamas for the answers. It will do no harm to pa and ma to help dig for the answers. Pa and ma should know what these kiddies are going to try to learn Pa and ma would be more opti- mistic and, therefore, better citizens of Birmingham if they could reel off the answers.

Earl E. Durgin, who went into the sheep hills recently as a member of the E.

It rained nearly all the time they were out and mist cover ed the hills to such an extent that il was impossible to locate the sheep. Some were seen, but Mr. Brandies was compelled to leave for the coast without securing the sort of specimen he sought. ....

POPE BROWNS ON OFFICER
 WITH MILITARIsTIc IDEALS

ROME, Aug. 23-Colonel Repond, who was called to be commander of the Swiss Guards at the Vatican during the pontifcate of Plus x and who gained considerable dis tinetion because of his efforts to place the 70 soldiers who compose the guard, on a war footing, has resigned. Pope Benedict has appoint ed Colonel Hirschbuhl, the next senior officer of the corps, to sue ceed him.
 Colonel Repond was an officer Of the Swiss regular army and came to the Vatican under the impression that he could give the Pope's body guard a more martial spirit They were put on strict military discipline aroused at 4:30 o'clock in the morn ing and put through drills in the most rigid fashion. The 70 men were taken out on the Belvedere court inside the Vatican gardens and given maneuvers
 One day, Colonel Repond had an audience with His Holiness Plus X and laid before him plans for the fortifying of the Vatican. These included the placing of cannon on the roof of St Peters. The Holy Father looked upon the colonel, smiling one of his benign smiles, and said;
 Cannon? What for? Not to shoot?"
 ''No, your Holiness" replied the colonel.
 Well, then?" interrogated the venerable Pontiff.
 The colonel did not answer and he was excused.
 Colonel Repond had also issed to the Swiss Guards a certain amount of ammunition One day a guard began shooting near the barracks The reports stirred the whole Vati- can. The issue of cartridges was ordered prohibited and the guard: deprived of those they still had.
 This was the last attempt of the colonel to institute war tactics. The guards continue to use the 18th century halberd when on duty.

EMBASSY IN SOUTH
 HOUSED IN CHEAP QUARTERS

al of the State Department at Wash ington to authorize sufficient funds to lease new embassy headquarters suitable to the dignity of the United States, in the opinion of Frederic Jesup Stimson, recently retired am bassador, has forced the American embassy to take quarters in build ing whose ground floor is occupied by a mattress factory. a carpenter shop and a ladies tailoring estab- lishment.
 The embassy was obliged to give up the building which has been the office of the American diplomatic representatives for the past 12 years owing to the desire of the owner to occupy it himself. This was a two-story residence of pleasing ex- terior, facing the Plaza San Martin and although far from pretentious. as compared with the legations of most other countries, was well ar ranged, well appointed and entirely occupied by the embassy. It was ob- tained when rents in Buenos Aires were comparatively low, for 750 pesos month, or a little over $500 and this figure, on account of the friendship of the owner for Am bassador Stimson. was not raised when rents went soaring during the war.
 When it became necessary recent ly to give the place up, neither MT. Stimson nor Francis Smith, now Charge d'Affaires, could find build ing comparable to it for less than 2,300 pesos a month. The State de- partment set a limit of $50 pesos and now strangers looking for the American embassy find a building on a side street, whose shabby en- trance is fanked on one side by a window exhibit of gaudy colored mattresses and on the other by ladies dress forms.
 One ascends to the embassy head quarters by a dark spiral staircase, set in a wall, to small "sala" or waiting room, which in winter IS heated by an oil stove. There are ten other rooms which visitors agree are shabbily decorated and, with the exception of two with freplaces, they have no heating apparatus. Re gently there was a fire in the car penter's shop. Had the fire destroy ed the building complete archives dating from the days of Caesar Augustus Rodney, first American minister to Argentina, a century ago, probably would have been lost.
 Only one other nation has an em- bassy in Argentina and that is Spain which will soon house it's am bassador in a palace costing nearly two million pesos. The Chilean le- gation already has a veritable palace while the Columbia legation boasts of two pretentious buildings, one as the ministers residence and the other for the legation offices, con nected by a beautiful garden. France has a legation which cost half a million pesos. The British and Ital- ian ministers also are elaborately housed. The present embassy of the United States sits in the shadow of building across the street, twice as big and handsomely appointed. occupied by the legation of Cuba,

Much Of Its Interest Is Lost-Types

Bagdad from outside is alluring At
nrst there is only foreground Of fat
desert, and in the distance a lovely
rampant of palm trees. Then almost
suddenly one sees some forty blue
and yellow domes and slim minarets
defined against an azure sky, Maude
Radford Warren writes in the Satur-
day Evening Post.
This skyline is the most beautiful
thing about the city. If one looks at
dawn or at sunset across the rapid.

mystery remains, though a good deal
of the subtlety goes.
In the bazar, that place of clashing
variety, of overbrilliant colN, one can
see every type of eastern face; one
can hear in the course of a few min
utes speech in Arabic, Turkish, Kurd-

desert, out into the blue, as they call

the horizon there may be line Of
palm trees or a little cluster of cloth
covered Bedouin tents; there may be
herd of donkeys that one takes for
camels so deceptive are the distances.
Or perhaps a mirage will suddenly
open a marvellous vista of lakes and
islands remote and lovely.
But all this is lure for the trav-
eler. The Westerner who lives in
Mesopotamia must see it with other
eyes. The man or woman who works
here must care tremendously for his
job or else for the country which de-
crees the job. A woman who comes

dously for him. For country clubs and

require the fnger-printse Of all babies
records to be preserved for identi1ca-

may come to them throughout their
lives.
Fathers interviewed said the plan
would check an enormous waste OF ef-
fort. Babies have been fnger-printing
themselves ever since the human race
first crossed the starting line, but the
records never have been preserved.
Parents generally approved the Idea
and snggest also the recording and
preservation Of fnger-rrints On the
following subjects:
i. Papa's linen collar.
z. Daddy's shirt bosom.
8. The leaves Of the Harvard clas-
sizes or the Century dictionary. These
volumes. and the like. always seem
thegmost eagerly sought after by q 2
year old on q lark In the library.
4. The suit Of the Old-G Gentleman

8. Any white woodwork or window
stills.
Parents I'm registering the DE,Ats

2. Get baby. Possibly this should

be possible to file the shirt. although
