In the reckless war period manu- lecturers granted wage increases with a certain abandon, because they were passed on to the retailer and con- sumer. When the consumer finally rebelled and the retailer came back with cancellations the load was thrown on the manufacturer.
 The nearer the trading world can arrive at cash transactions based on purchases for early delivery, the less there will be of mercantile friction.

 For indeed, as I came to understand better the great Irish city which hides under the old English reputation of Boston, cannot help feeling, and feel it without undue regret that the remaining representatives of the pc riod of organdie, port wine and square oances are milestones on the road which leads backward . in a country where no man and no woman seem to run the risk of ever being turned into pillar of salt. Charming. courtly and cultured, these aristocrats seem to be only shadows. They are the end. and upon their graves can be incribed as parody of Kosciuszko the words, "Finis Bostonia!"

 the indestructibility of life another scientist, a German, seems to have been arriving at almost the same interesting ends.
 In an article by Gustav Erenyi in the Vienna NAie Freie Presse, which is re- printed iHNthe Living Age, we are told of the conclusions of Professor Karl Ludwig Schleich, a famous Berlin surgeon. He, like MT. Edison, has con structed a hypothesis of perpetual life based upon the phenomena of the microscopic chromosomes and nuciel:
 He maintains that the smallest or ganisms in us, the elementary forms of living matter from which our bodies are built, are indestructible and live from generation to generation and be- ing to being. stamped with all the char acteristics of our individuality"
 This is striking like Mir. Edison's, declaration that life, like matter, is indestructible." that "our bodies are composed of myriads and myriads of infinitesimal entities, each in itself unit of life which band together to build a man" and that at death the

LABoR,s oPpoRrurrrr

From the Thrift Magazine
 The American Federation of Labor has done well in eliminating the ultra- radicals from certain positions of power in it's organization.
 Organized slabor's next progressive step should be the inauguration of q campaign of education in thrift.
 Vast numbers of the working mn of this country understand the value of thrift and practice it constantly. Thev own their own homes. they are mem- bers of building and loan associations. they carry insurance. they have money in the bank and are getting ahead. Others. unfortunately. arc not % thrifty.
 Labor's greatest duty to society ana the nation is to apply itself industri- ously to the replenishing of our supp,y of material wealth. There are tremen- dous tasks of rehabilitation in many realms of commerce and industry. Bat this is not all
 Organized labor holds such . tremen- dously important place in the life q the nation that it's active influence in the direction of thrift education would mean more than words can describe.
 The systematic and organised en- commencement of thrift among it's mem bers and the active support of thrift education constitute an opportunity for tremendous good which Her within its grasp.

Disadvantages of Being
 a Grand Opera Director

1T III IS Just one tn1ng after an- A other in Chicago's grand opera circles. Ever since Mme. Walska, Polish prima donna, abruptly depart ed on the eve of her debut in "Zaza. ? charges have been flying thick and fast.
 It was reported that the Polish singer, despite her beauty and wealth and glamor of career abroad, was not up to the mark in the role to which she aspired. Spiteful persons whispered that her voice actually cracked under the strain of rehearsal. while loud groans from suffering members of the company and the or chestra were heard.
 Mime. Walskas friends pooh poohed-but not in their politest man. ner-these silly reports. The madame
  fled to New York and continued her flight to Europe with her millionaire husband, Alexander Smith Cochran. Ostensibly the madame went away to forget. She wouldn't talk, but her friends did. They said it was all due to jealousy. Mary Gardens name was mentioned. She was accused of want ing to sing the role herself. Report CTS hotfooted it to Mary-in Chicago. Absurd" said Mary.
 But our sympathies are not with Madame Walska or Mary Garden, or any other song birds, involved in the quarrel. Our heart goes out to the hapless conductor, Signor Marinuzzi, who resigned to find peace for his tortured soul.
 Speaking of his stars, the signor said:
 They haze given me nothing but sleepless nights. Their voices have been in my ears 2f hours a day. each one with grievance, each
 one objectings to a role have as-
 signed to some one else.
 An they bring all their troubles z to me. Then l go home and try to sleep. l cannot. l get up and pace
 the floor until o'clock in the morning. l try hard to please ev- erybody. l want only to make the best casting for the opera, to serve the art, the public, the singer. the rchestra--everyb body But it makes my brain unfresh
 Give thought to Signor Marinuzzi and rejoice that you earn living in the humdrum marts of trade, in lawyers office, doctors office. or even newspaper office, where you are not subjected 24 hours day to the artistic temperament.

F E E Will Tell Us Where We Are in Birmingham

ID)IRMINGHAM will feel heater lQ this week when the members of the Community club place street markers on the corners of buildings in the business section of the city. It has not cost much money and will entail little labor, but the effect will be an inspiration. It will have a tendency to lead men and women to think of other small things that may be done to make this city a better place in which to live.
 A shave and shine do not cost much, but the man with them feels a degree of self-respect that the man without cannot and does not feel. The tooth brush is an humble instrument, but its use or non-use is the measure of the regard which men and women have for their persons. The street markers are not absolutely necessary, but they will touch off the city as a piece of lace does the edges of a woman's garment.
 Birmingham is thinking more and more about these little things. Its time could be put to no better use. By just such things as street mark CTS or their absence, by filtered or clean streets, by observance Or non observance of traffic laws, are peo- pie judged. It is foregone conclu- sion that tidy town is prosperous one and worth moving to and mak- ing ones home.

 ate the bread of Bostonians, and so may not speak of them, but one, a stranger. I may mention and do not forget. He came out of his house one morning and stood upon the steps for moment, looking to the right and left. As he did not seem to know where he wanted to go, felt at once that he must be an aristocrat. He was about 50. well groomed, with rather delicate features. and he carried small brown paper parcel which seemed to ->em barass him.
 When he perceived me he flung me a look of such dislike that I wondered whether he might not be English. And so we stood for a moment, looking at him; after all, cat can look at Bos- tonian aristocrat. Then I asked him my way, being lost, as usual, and his glance revealed still greater repul sson He was quite unlike the ordinary American I had been meeting, who goes out of his way to show you yours, who takes your arms, draws plans, all most offers to pay your carfare
 While he hesitated explained that I was a stranger in Boston, and change came over his features. "Oh," he said, doubtfully, "are you English?" On my saying "Yes," the change grew more marked and I perceived that it was virtue to be English. We talked It, tie and, asH guided by an instinct, spoke of recent visit to a Sussex town where the grass grows between the cobbles of the street. The aristocrat then gave me smile. Following upon compliment addressed to his house he opened the door and showed me his hall which is paneled in oak and delicately furnished with old mahogany and an cient china, but he did not ask me in, as would have done modern Ameri- can. Instead. he taxed guardedly. He even advised whatI should see in Bos- ton % and he recommended noth- ing that did not lie between the Massachusetts hospital and Copley square; there was nothing else.
 When I told him that I was going to the middle west he seemed tempted not to reply. Then. hesitating You will find it strange" He would not explain any more. He did not want to bury the middle west. but he could not praise it. He revealed that he had never bsen est of Ohio. but he had paid visits to England. Italy and France.

Tendency to Purchase
 for Early Delivery

5f1 ASTERN trades papers report
 E1 that there has been heavy buy ing of cotton goods following recent ], reductions made by manufacturers and that the movement of merchan- disc has been accelerated. While cotton goods men are not foreseeing any. great rush in the near future, they are gratified over the quick re- sponse to each inducement to trade.
 Tn recent buying, however, it is noticeable that few orders were booked for delivery later than March. The retail merchants have been talk ing on new stocks with carefulness for year. Very few of them have run the risk of being overloaded. Goods have moved from factories to ne,rly empty shelves.
 There seems to be . growing dis - ltion to get away from forward b1pjnf. The seller himself is inclined f that direction: When goods are 1 Stracted for far ahead at speci-
 i price and the price takes q pro zsnnced dip, it is difficult to prevent ejncellations and hold-up orders. En- x@kced delivery of goods under legal 1Ix6cess would invite bankruptcy.

Taking the Joy Out of
 fife for Washinptonians

MMR. HARDING'S request that lVU plans for an elaborate inau- guration be abandoned must have caused consternation among Washing tons hotel men, restaurant proprie- tors, merchants and others who hoped to profit by Roman triumph"
 There was also, we suspect, keen disappointment felt by everyone who expected to make the inauguration as close an approach to saturnalia as the much-violated prohibition law would permit. Arrangements were under way to provide refreshments in abundance, but what does it profit a visitor to quaff the forbidden, if there is no glittering and gorgeous parade, no inaugural ball and none of the carnival atmosphere which tireless committees were projecting for the entertainment of visitors?
 Some of the criticisms which reached his ears influenced MT. Hard ing to make protest against the proposed extravaganza of his friends in Washington. He shares the view <.f 1fh stance, that costly celebration would be setting poor example to the American people at time when thrift is being preached throughout the country. To do MT. Harding justice, he has never favored a spectacular inauguration. Being an easy going man, he was persuaded to give tactit consent.
 Nevertheless, MT. Harding may be overruled again. The simple cere- mony of taking the oath of office, making speech and entering upon his duties forthwith would be crush ing blow to large part of Washing tons population which has been eagerly looking forward to real, old fashioned blowout" and it would fall with equal severity on a con- siderable number of people who were going to attend the inauguration.
 Perhaps a compromise will be eff fected, by which there will be at least parade, to permit the mili- tary and the citizenry to do them selves honor while honoring the in coming President. Even rock ribbed democrat from the "solid south" would not object to that.

HAUNTING JAPAN

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Citizens of Harlingen, Tex, were at the railroad station to meet a train bringing in two Japanese families from the west intending to settle on farm lands, The Japanese were told that their presence was undesirable and that while they might remain over night they would be expected to depart with in 24 hours.
 The dispatch said that the citizens did not make any threats, but the incident has the significance of forerunner of bad news. When all conditions are pre- pared for war such Incidents may pre- cipitate it. The mps.rative triviality is the spark
 This particular incident probably will come to nothing, but it proves the de- velopment of temper in the United States. We believe that the one con- sidcratiop which is holding back Japan now is. the fact that the United States, and not Japan h..s the second navy. The fact that we are in Japan's way. the fact that we obstruct her develop ment, that we are in Asia. from which she is ejecting whites, and the fact that in the United States we officially dis criminate against her citizens and that our citizens individually Haunt them these facts are causes of war.
 They will not cause war which .Ja- pan cannot win. If they cause one it will be one Japan thinks she can win. Until that time comes when Japan thinks she can win, Japan will use. diplomatic remonstrance. When 1t does come she will use guns.
 These are facts that even a careless people may learn if they will.
