6H HE development of hydro-elec-
 tric power in Alabama has
 given tremendous impetus to this state.
 Few people realize what it means to Alabama.
 A party of bankers, manufacturers and coal producers were given trip to Lock 12 on the Coosa river last Friday to observe for themselves the great water power and hydro-eiec- tric plant.
 At Lock 12, there is maximum development of 10000 horse power during some eight or nine n2Rnths of the year. All told, 14 men including the superintendent, operate this tre- mendous plant. The dam is some 70 feet in height and forms a lake nearly 50 miles in length. The plant is practically automatic: one
  man at switchboard controlling all turbines and dynamos. The control of the flow of water into the turbines is by automatic machinery.
 At the Gorgas steam plant on the Mprrior river, 5o.oOO horsepower is 1ayeIoned fo sunpIeuapt +ha ..1x from Lock 12. At the Gorgas plant 1S6 men are needed to operate it, re- gardless of the fact that the boilers are fed by automatic stokers, doing away with firemen. Thus a water power plant of twice the capacity of steam plant is operated with about one tenth of the men.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SOUTH SHOULD RErALrArE
the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Being a regular reader of your es- teemed paper, have from time to time noticed mention of the fact that the New York Merchants association were strongly opposing the project of Ford getting the Muscle Shoals plant, but have seen no mention of the Mer- chants association of the south talk ing any steps to curb the animosity of the Merchants association of New York against us.
 Now, 1t Is well known fact that ever since the Civil war, the mer- chants of the south have been pour ing their gold into the coffers of the New York wholesale and retail mer- said the patrons of New York city from the south Ire largely responsible for the prosperity of that city. Why should this continue, if the Merchants association of New York city is fight ing a project which we believe will bring greater wealth and prosperity into the south, so that we in turn will have more money to spend in New York?
 We don't have to go to New York for our goods, and it strikes me that the commercial clubs of the south should get together at once and mo- tify the Merchants association of New York that unless their efforts to thwart our coming prosperity or what we believe to be such, ceases, we as a section will at once take steps to send our trade and money to a city that is more friendly toward us as a section. and who has more sense than to try to kill the goose that lays the golden egg" They like our money, but 1t breaks their hearts to see the south come into its own. The people of the south have proven themselves to be patient and long suf- fering, but when the worm does turn there is generally something doing.' Yours truly, R. H. STlCkNEY.

DULL BOYS

From the London Daily Mail.
 An ex-headmaster of 25 years ex- perience has confessed that he was anything but a model boy at school.
 He is not exceptional Some boys who have no lack of brains have not the examination mind" and in some the intellisence is too vivacious and original to be interested in routine work. There are boys who are really dull and will never be anything else, but there are also boys who are mers- ly unconventional and boys who are apparently dull only because they are slow.
 Human beings are like plants. It is not always the tree which grows and fruits the quickest that gives the best crop in the end The brilliant boy does not always fulfill the expec- tations of his friends. while the boy who was supposed to be duH .occa- sionally surprises everybody in after life because his mind was of the sort which takes long time to mature.
 No hard and-fast rule can be laid down. But. as Dr. Chalmers Mitchell has pointed out. it Is g general rule in nature that the longer the period of youth the greatrr Is the intellt<enee of the adult.

M MODERN PALESTIN Ely Frank Willis Barnett

Palestine is the least of all the
 west of the Jordan comprises not more than 10000 square miles, it's av- craze breadth 40 miles and its length
 40 miles, while Alabama has 52,250 square miles, is S36 miles long and at places 200 miles across,
 But it is not so much of the land as the people wish to write, yet around the land itself there is such a halo that even more than 1900 years after the birth of Christ it Is spoken of as the Holy Land" Pales- tine did not receive it's present desig- nation from the people of Israel, through whose occupation of it's soil | it has become famous. but was so named from the Philistines, the ene-
 mics of Israel.
 Although the name as applied to the whole country dates only from Greek times, none the less is it's per- sistence an impressive testimony to
 the influence wielded by the Israeli ties in the day of their power. and now that after centuries there is an organized effort among the Jews throughout the world to colonize
 Palestine it is of intense interest to get some idea of it's present inhabi- tants.
 We had thought that Palestine had passed into ancient history, but it IS at present the center of such stirring
 modern events as to frequently get | 1t on the front page of the big dailics
 throughout the world. Its present population is made of sturdy and able people, while three great religions
 call it Holy Land" This is why
 "The People of Palestine" by Elihu Grant. professor of biblical literature lin Haverford college, is most timely. My library is rich in books on Pal estine, but the virtue of the volume in hand is that it has not been com piled from books. but drawn from life. The author, having lived three years in Ram Allah, small town near Jerusalem, has been able to catch at first hand customs which have come down from distant past.
 The work has the charm of being
 true to life and gives vivid and truth
 full pictures of present-day manners and customs which are suggestive of
 Bible times. The 45 illustrations add to the attractiveness and worth of
 the publication, which Is issued by
 the J. B. Lippincott company, Phila-
 delphia.
 We learn that the population of
 Palestine. is, divided into three parts, desert. village and city. The desert

MT. Gompers Questions
 Tact of Gen. Pershing

TITHREATENED hostilities be-
 U tween Samuel Gompers and General Pershing are no longer feared by the friends of these two gentlemen, although MT. Gompers could not resist making a reply to the statement of General Pershing at the LaFayette-Marne banquet that labor did not win the war. h. cidentally, the identity of the person Or persons winning the war will never be settled to the satisfaction of everyone concerned.
 As newspaper readers may recall, General Pershing was quoted as say ing, 1t wasn't labor that won the war. It seems it's time for some one to say that it wasn't this asso- citation or that which won the war it was the loyalty of all the straight forward American citizens which brought success to the allied cause"
 Everyone could agree with these sentiments, including the labor. leader, but what aroused the ire of Brother Gompers was the insinuation he believed to have been made by Pershing that he had claimed all the honor and glory for labor. Brother Gompers, following the precedent of Br'er Rabbit, Hay low" until the dinner was over, but he later gave out statement to the press denying that there was any ground for the rather testy re- marks" of General Pershing. Con- cluding his statement, he says, Gen eral Pershing is brave and splendid soldier and pay him the tribute of saying that his generalship on the battlefield is much better than his generalshipg as an after dinner speaNr:' A EA <
