AN uNroUNDED ALARM

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 President Harding, it seems. was badly misled as to conditions in the cotton belt by the statement of the public health service which pictured that area as ravaged by plague and famine. Official denial of the public health services sensational report has come from a number of southern states. Louisiana and Arkansas have fewer cases of pellagra than. in for mer years. Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia. Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina say the situation is normal All of these states specifi- cally and emphatically declare there is no famine or threat of famine.
 The President. manifestly. made his mistake in assuming the public health services finding to be reliable. It was natural and excusable error, and his prompt and vigorous relief efforts rebound to MT. Harding s credit as an executive and as al man. The ensuing embarrassment will not even pause at the Presidents office; it goes direct to the department of the public health service. which, after this experience. will probably try to avoid issuing reports that are alarm ingly at variance with the facts.

'6 T' Ts Increase in Purchase of Vacant Property

MI ORE E, 's1Idsnss lots in s,,nsss three residence districts have been sold recently than at any time since the beginning of the World war. These purchases have not been made for speculation, although some property holders have resold at a profit.
 Vacant residence lots did not ad- vance along with other things. Houses already built sold at great profit during the postwar period owing to the housing famine, but not until this spring did the home builder feel himself justified in building, on account of the cost of materials and labor. For this req son vacant property remained at pre-war prices and is practically at that base now, although there are indications that it will advance.

DEMPsEY,s INVERTEBRATES

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Several hundred women day write love letters to Jack Dempsey. Some rough neck hanger-on of the cham pion's camp reads them. Dempsey doesn't. At least one woman has an- nounced her engagement to Jack. He says she never consulted him. At least one other woman has, by pro- clamations of sweetheartship with Jack, spurred her husband to sue for divorce. Dempsey says he never heard of her.
 In each of these items we can be- leve Dempsey. His is the common experience of men in his position. Ev- cry champion prize-fi ghter, every famous actor, and many popular preacher, gets bales of letters from silly women, and is the unconscious hero of thousands of love affairs that exist only in morbid feminine minds. Do these men notice this brain-sick gush? Not If they are men. They hire a secretary to sort the scented slush out of their mail and shovel it Into the waste basket.
 But does an announcement by Dempsey that these loving messages never rea~l& him cause any slacken- ing of the stream? Not in the least. Something more than fact or reason Is required to cure these damsels. No rebuff can feaze them. What they need is a doctor, and he will require only an amateurs knowledge of psychoanalysis to diagnose their case.

The Wagon Mine Supply

 q am too busy to discus the matter of weights with critics. I have a 50-ton scale and all my coal Is sub ject to inspection. I welcome check ing up at any time by anyone in au- thority as to weights, but am not losing time arguing the matter with those who make ill-founded allega- tions.

Cheap Brick From Outside

Face brick made by our local con cerns is having a good season" said J. II. Jones of the Birmingham Clay Products company. 'The local com mon brick made of our excellent shale Is meeting with competition that works an injustice. This cheap CT clay brick comes from other states and is sold lower than the superior common shale brick.
 Tt is not an even competition be- cause the local brick made of shale is a far better article, but some people do not seem to worry over quality. The result is that Birmingham m product is not used at home in the quantity that it should be used and Birmingham brick plants are not as busy as they should be-"

Psychological Time

While I join the whole world in regretting more than I can possibly say the death of Caruso. still 1t has certainly happened. it seems to me, at psychological moment" said Mrs. Sara Hunt Yam, organist of High lands Methodist church.
 There is as much art in knowing when to die, as in Knowing when to live, an& Caruso's death occurred just at the very time when he was at the height of his great career. The world worshipped him; it had never been dlsillusioned; the last time he sang he sang as well as he did the night he made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera nearly 20 years ago, the critics said; so we will always remember him that way.
 If he had recovered from his ill., ness, the physicians predicted that his strength would never have been sufficient for the breath control and tremendous power necessary for him to use hIs voice as he did, and if he had again appeared upon the stage, the critics would in all probability have said: He does not sing as he used to-
 But now-~that will never be said of Caruso because he sang his very best up to the last. Many heroes have fallen from their pedestals; Ad- miral Dewey-we all remember that, and President Wilson--and if either of these had passed on at the zenith of their glory. how different the world would feel toward them now. As it is, Caruso goes-remem- bered as the greatest singer of all times-the worlds idol and ideal tenor"

A CAMP IN MARYLAND

From the Portland Oregonian. F0N HEY were far from the capi-
 tol and the crowds, at least
 S long hours ride by motor from the carking cares that infest the present-the President, the inventor, the bishop and the manufactured. The rude simplicity of their sylvan camp was apparent, On one hand was the crude but effective gasoline range. equipped with eight burners, an oven and a warming closet, on the other loomed the silent bulks of six shin ing limousines and a hulking truck. It was such scene and such set ting as Dave Crockett's big heart Primitive, but not too much so; sim pie and al fresco, but fortified by prudence.
 Boys" said the President through the haze of his cigar, this is, when all is said, the life. To me 1t seems the natural return to normalcy, and these great trees are for the moment of more interest. in their eternal mystery of patient growth, than Yap or Jap or the impending council on disarmament. The flapjacks were golden and gratifying, the coffee a dark and fragrant amber. and feel somewhat inclined to a nap"
 That is the flesh" observed the bishop, land I trust, my dear presi- dent, that you will not mar this days enjoyment, snatched from use- ful but vexatious service, by yield ing. It seems to me that the inventor here our disting nguished wizard of science, might chat instructively on those marvels he has yet in mind.
 Count that day lost as the maxim goes, whose low descending sun views-er-no stone unturned.
 The inventor nodded gravely and turned toward the manufacturer, who was carving spirals on willow stick.
 Henry" he said, "of late I have resorted to a simple test of knowl- edge, which I apply to the young men who enter my laboratories and shops, II have some of the fellows run through the encyclopedia and pick out few posers at random, and the dictionary as well. Perhaps it is up to me to confess that in proof-read- Ing the questionnaire so compiled I lhave myself been the gainer. Never theless the questions relate to facts that any school boy should be fami- liar with and able to answer It has seemed to me that their broader ap- plication as the test of general knowledge among successful men, such as we are held to be, might not be amiss. Henry. answer me this what Is a homunculus?'
 The manufacturer squirmed on his cushions and threw the willow tstick, with considerable energy. at friendly chipmunk. Ask me some thing easyr he objected. with sar- castle infection.

< < F Wilson and House Said to Be Friends Again

1T T is rumored in Washington that ll the mysterious disagreement be- tween Woodrow Wilson and Col. E. M. House, which has never been satisfactorily explained, is now thing of the past and friendly let ters are being exchanged.
 There is no definite information, however, that the breach, if there was one, has been healed. MT. Will son, Joseph P. Humility, his for mer secretary, and Colonel House continue to maintain a puzzling silence. According to someA persons, presumably in MT. Wilson's confer ence, there has never been a real quarrel, and Colonel House did not call on MT. Wilson because of de- sire to spare him during his ill., ness. That explanation will be re- ceived with skepticism. Something happened. What it was, nobody seems to know, but MT. Wilson and Colonel House evidently came to the parting of the ways.
 It has been reported that Colonel House offended his chief by support ing Italy's claim to Plume when Mr.

No Pellagra Epidemic
 in the Southern States

1T HEALTH OFFICERS of south ll u ern states have informed Surg General Cummings of the pubS health service, that there is no f; inc in the south and no ab- normal increase in pellagra. The situation is not one to be ignored, but there was no foundation for the alarming reports which have been sent out from Washington.
 President Harding was actuated by humane motives when he called attention to what he believed to be starvation and an epidemic of pei lagra in the south, but he was mis- informed. There is no famine any where in this part of the country, but there is an increase of pellagra in some of the southern states.
 Dr. J. A. Hayne of South Carolina reports that during the first six months of 1920 there were ITO cases of pellagra in that state and S65 cases have been reported in 1921. Alabama's health officer, Dr. s. w.. Welch, says 14 cases of pellagra were reported in the state last year, with no doctors reporting, and IA cases this year, with 909 doctors reporting. Georgia had 193 deaths in 1920 and has had 196 so far in 1921. It is estimated that pellagra has shown slight increase in about half the southern states and a decrease in the others. Health authorities say malaria and the hookworm are still the chief prob
 
 lens to be solved.
 Pellagra Is not the result so much of under-nourishment as it is of an improperly balanced diet, but the ig- norant people of the south who don't eat enough vegetables can hardly be blamed for their ignorance when the average person knows little more about dietetics than he does about relativity.
 The south's health authorities will gladly cooperate with the federal officials in checking pellagra, but the campaign against malaria and the hookworm should not be abandoned.

 If I recall the Lords prayer ?" repeated the inventor with rising in- flection. Are you serious? You are? He settled himself complacentIy and began: Now I lay me down to sleep"
 "Ah, mol no! nor objected the bishop.

ROLES PENRosE

From the New Republic.
 Today's Penrose is not the Penrose of four years ago. Nature, which has treated this man lavishly for 60 years, has turned against him in the very hour of thickening troubles. He lacks the physical power for the fight. oddly enough. there is q curious similarity between Senator Penrose's state today and that of the man who is his absolute antithesis in most respects, MT. Wilson. Each has been denied the mastery that he crayed when it seemed within his grasp, because fate stepped in and robbed him of his strength when he most needed it. Imagine the Wilson of four years ago, lowering over the present republican regime-an unag- Rressive President and a leaderless Congress numbering uncertainty alogn, the most bewildered Congress in memory But the democratic op- position lacks the old Wilson and Is almost as numbering and lacking in objective as the party in power. Nor is the old Penrose present. for the fight that is brewing.

JUNGLE TOMS cABINr

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 March 27. 1852. was a memorable date in Cleveland's literary annals, for then appeared the first am nouncement of Uncle Toms Cabin, Y and it is said that the sensation it produced among the slavery-hating Cievelanders can scarcely be inn agined. There were fugitives passing through the city every week on the "underground." and the daily press the pulpit ana the platform were never silent on slavery's wrongs.
 Thirty years after the publication of Uncle Toms Cabin" festival was given at Newtonville, Mass. by Messrs. Houghton. Mifflin X O., pub fishers, celebrating the birthday an niversary of Harriet Beecher stowe. This festival was one of series given by the same firm to several or the distinguished authors whose works they published.
 A spacious and beautiful country home and grounds were rendered for Mrs. stoves anniversary, and the occasion took the form of a garden party. As the guests arrived. they were presented to Mrs. Stowe by MT. H. O.. Houghton,' and after two hours had been spent in social converse, the company gathered in tent on the lawn and Henry Ward Beecher was presented.
 After explaining how very diffi- cult it had been for him to convince
 the public that he himself had nc
 writtan Uncle Toms Cabin" he tol'
