 Mons. you are fine, but the winds and rains and hail of matrimony have left their mark on you. l wouldn't swap you for all the rest of the mothers there are Tn the world, and when I get your age, Moms l want to look just exactly like you, with a few changes l could make with a rouge rag and powder puff. l am reason why I should be a walking crystal gazing ball and show all the fellows l know just what l am go- ing to look like 25 years from now.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
TRIBUTE TO JUDGE WHITAKER

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 Through your kindness, l should like to express, in a few words, an appreciation of my friend, the late Judge W. J. Whitaker. who died OH the morning of June 10, 1921.
 can scarecely realize that he IS indeed gone; that l shall never, az least, on earth see him again. He had become so intimately connected with my, daily life. that caano: easily reconcile myself to the altered condition, now. that he Is no more.
 Did you, who chance to read these lines. enjoy the privilege of Knowing him closely? If so. you krow why I miss him so much; you will recall with me, often indeed. his face hl. vcice, his smile; and his image an manner will remain in your memory forever.
 Whitaker was an unusual man. Yeu might look thousand over and fail to find one as kind, a.s inGen- uous and as true as he. It is sell dem, indeed. that one meets wish a personality so rare and fascinating. and one that caught and held you like lis did; 1t had such wonderful. freshness, such a genial warmth and such a spirit of kindliness, Knew him to be one or 1Ou own rare gems. and was conscious the more of his nobility and worth, because there are so many conterfeiters ant dissemblers. It was fit that he should be buried, as he was, in tHa knight Templar's uniform, because he was d true knight and one in rose heroic bosom never lurkcd I fear physical or moral. He had all ineffable charm for me, wh oh Wa irresistible, and for Whitaker to want a thing meant that he should have it if it lay within my power.
 Judge Whitaker was a goou lawyer and an excellent judge: he was man without guile. a friend without an ulterior motive, citizen without stain. a>husb band tender and true. and father whose precepts and example are most worthy of emulation
 And now, fare thee well, my friend. Thou art indeed gone from earth but art not forgotten. Green be tho turf above thy new made grave. and greener ever by thy memory in the he arts of those who loved thee. Thy going hath bereaved our lives of much. but we look to meet thee again in that far off country, to which thou hast journeyed. when lire's fit ful fever shall have passed

FROM MAGIC CITY
 THROUGH MEXICO
Bankhead Highway Working on Through Road, Says
 Texas Visitor Here

Active plans are now under way fer completing the Texas and Mex ico City division paved highway which will connect with the Bank head highway at Mount Pleasant. Texas. and which will mean approx imately 1900 miles of paved roads extending clear to the heart of Mex ico from Birmingham"
 This is the statement made by A. L.. Burge of Tyler, Texas, and man ager, of the Tyler and East Texas Chamber of Commerce. who Is pass ing through Birmingham on his way to attend the international eonven- ton of Kiwanis clubs at Cleveland, Ohio.
 During MT. Burgess stay in Bir- mingham yesterday he met Asia Rountree. who also Is very much in- terested in the completion of the Texas and Mexico City division of the Bankhead highway.
 There are only a few places on the United States side of the boun- dary line which are in need of re- pairing These, I think. can be rem edied without much trouble. But 1t is in Mexico where the roads are the worst and where practically all the work must be done. There seems to be but little doubt but that the building of the highway will be aid ed by the federal government of Mexico and already several of the governors of the various states ot Mexico have pledged their support and the support of their cities, if ths highway s brought through them.
 "The Bankhead highway brings thousands of tourists down ffom the east and a great majority of them pass through Birmingham Thus it is easy to see that if the Texas and Mexico City division of the highway is completed just what it will mean to Birmingham and to other cities along the route to have these tour ists passing through them," the vis- itor concluded.
