< < x BIRMINGHAM LEADING IN INDUSTRIAL RETIREMENT

It is not surprising to note that there was greater increase of employment in the Bir- mingham district than in any other southern section during February. This district employs more labor and therefore, when industrial conditions improve it is quickly reflected here.
 Tha department of labor reports an increase of 1130 in the number of persons employed by eight major industries in Birmingham dur ing February. The increase in New Orleans was 357 and in Chattanooga 363. This does not mean that New Orleans and Chattanooga are not also feeling the improved conditions measurably but these cities have not the indus tries which Birmingham has and do not employ the number of workers that Birmingham does.
 Birmingham Is not surprised at the increase because it has seen two large blast furnaces of the Tennessee company resume, and it has seen the Ten essee eompany's steel production grow from ? , r. xmately 50 per cent to as near ca pacitS production as the company's steel mills ca, uialle it.
 The output of coal has increased 25 per e tt since the first week in January. Coal iron and steel activity mean more man power eni- ployed, That enlarges pay rolls.
 The March increase in employment will be larger than that of February because in one way and another the entire district is becom- ing buster.

BUSH HAS SIX WAYS OF SELLING" BIRMINGHAM

Morris Bush, iron, coal coke and pipe shop operator, speaks from variety of successful experiences as manager of industrial enter prises in his suggestions of how to "sell Bir- mingham and Alabama to the outside world" Alabama and Alabamians are not yet so inde- pendent of the remainder of the world that they don't want it to cooperate with them in de- velopng the states latent resources.
 Mir. Bush's six suggestions are these:
 -Co-operation with and fullfiedged support of the Chamber of Commerce; laws favorable and liberal to outside capital; better treatment of farms in financial matters; fostering the idea of education; working for better roads and by raising the standard of intelligence to raise the standard of consumption" n.
 With reference to bringing foreign money into the district Mir. Bush said in an address before the Birmingham Real Estate board: "Ths is the kind of money we want; the kind to which we need to sell Birmingham. Let us encourage Yankee money, English money or any other kind of money"
 On supporting the Chamber of Commerce, he said: If the chamber had 5000 members it would have a revenue of s100,ooo year to spend to attract new industries here, and that would mean a greater impetus to local indus try"
 Alabama owes much to outside capital and Birmingham especially owes much to it, since outside capital has contributed the lions share of the money invested in it's leading industries. The way to get more of it and more new indus tries is to form solid column behind the Cham ficient to operate on broad scale

COOPERATION IN NEVADA

From the Church at Work.
 Bishop Hunting of Nevada relates the fol- lowing experience at Searchight, town in the sagebrush section of the state:
 He arrived in town early one Sunday morn- ing just as the last few stragglers were leav- ing the dance hall after al-night party. There was no other place but the dance hall in which to hold service. The bishop had it cleaned up first Then, from the storekeeper he borrowed couple of big packing boxes, and from lumber dealer a couple of boards. With these he constructed a crude altar. While the latter operation was under way, circuit riding priest of the Roman Catholic faith ar rived, and lent a hand in the work. One of the ladies the bishop knew in Searchlight owned couple of candesticks which she loaned to him. Thus equipped Bishcp Hunting celebrated holy communion in his impromptu church. When his service was at an end, he retired, whereupon his friend the Roman priest advanced to the same altar and celebrated mas. This service concluded, the two cleregnen re- turned boxes, timber, candlesticks and men a their owners and resumed their journeyines.

value but would never be box-office success.
 The larger theatres are dependent upon the kind of attractions that will make money. If play is both artistic and financially profitable much the better, but one that does not show profit in the box office, regardless of it's merits, is soon withdrawn. For this reason the atrical managers have been accused of think ing more of dollars than of art, but they are first of all business men.
 From modest beginning Little theatre might soon become source of infinite pleasure and instruction. It would be the best kind of intellectual stimuant. If cities smaller than Birmingham have playhouses of this type, sure ly Little theatre is not beyond our reach.

LITTLE THEATRE WOULD PAY
 DIVIDENDS TO ART

Birmingham should have Little theatre. If the Drama league and the Art league decide to cooperate irt establishing an institution of this character they may safely depend on the sup port of great many people here who are in tcrested in the city's cultural advancement.
 \ A Little theatre need not be expensive to begin with. As it's name connotes, it is not a hippodrome undertaking, and is not intended to compete with the professional theatre. It . happy form of self-expression for talented amateurs who often find it stepping stone to fame and fortune, and it also provides way to present many plays which have great literary

WHAT EVERY ToBAccoNIsT KNOWS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Here is an unauthorized interview with cigarette salesman When times are bad, people smoke much more than in good times Didn't know that? Oh, yes-that's a fact They worry more, and when men worry most they smoke most, and they chew more tobacco then. And here's something you may not know, but which we tobacco salesmen know be- cause we have observed it over and over again :. In good times the cigarette and cigar stumps you find on the street are longer than the stumps you see in bad times. In bad times the sense of economy causes men to smoke their weed to the end. In good times they are more reckless, and it is not uncommon to cigars and cigarettes, half-smoked, lying on the ground and in cuspidors. Watching things like these is part of the business of tobacco salesman

THE MIRACLE OF DAWN

By Madison Cawein. What would it mean for you and me
 If dawn should come no more? Think of it's gold along the sea,
 It's rose above the shore! The rose of awful mystery,
 Our souls bow down before. What wonder that the Inca kneeled,
 The Aztec prayed and plead And sacrificed to it, and scaled
 With rites that long are dead The marves that it once revealed
 To them it comforted. What wonder, yea what awe, behold! What rapture and what tears Were ours, if wild it's rivcred gold
 That now each day appears Burst on the world, in darkness rolled.
 Once every thousand years! Think what it means to me and you
 To see it even as God Evolved it when the world was new!
 When light rose, earthquake-shod, And slow its gradual splendor grew
 Der deeps the whirlwind trod. What shoutings then and cymballings Arose from depth and night What worship-solemn trumpetings,
 And thunders, burning white, Of winds and waves, and anthemings
 Of Earth received the Light. Think what it means to see the dawn! The dawn that comes each day What if the east should neer grow wan, Should never more grow gray. That line of rose no more be drawn
 Above the oceans spray!

PREFERS FEWER TEcHNIcALITIEs

"The number of lawsuits over compara- lively trivial matters is increasing" said A. A. Vines, deputy clerk in the office of circuit clerk. People now go to law over matters that our grandfathers got together and settled themselves.
 "A large portion of the courts time is taken up with the disposition of these cases, and the time left for really important litigation is linn ited. These hair-sptting cases, suppose are the result of a more complicated civilization, but I like to stick closer to the fundamental principles of law and cut out so much small stuff"

OLD RIVER DAYS

From the Chattanooga Times.
 The "strolling bard" of the St. Louis Globe Democrat is doing Mississippi and sending this back home:
 ''Natchez Under the Hill reposes leisurelv in the sunshine little disturbed by river com merce that once made such an uproar there. Perhaps all that turmoil is coming back with the new movement upon the face of the waters" engineered by Uncle Sam But few of the picturesque and penetrating admonitions Of the steamboat mate now float up from the shore One vocal note alone arises as we stroll along the old landing. A young colored man lifts his voice in the wild wavering plantation chant:
 I got shoes,
 You got shoes When I gets to heaven, goin' to put on my
 shoes,
 Coin to walk all over Gods heaven.
 The old river flows on. Long has it heard the music of negro minstrey and it may never be deaf to it.

STATE HOUSEWIVES FAIR

"The local housewives exhibition was such success" said Mrs. Jack Bowron, "that, to me, it points the way for state exposition of Alabama-made products. Birmingham is the place for it to be held. It would be fine for advertising what Alabama makes, and it would be fine for Birmingham to stage the exhbi- tion. Other places would think more kindly of Birmingham than some of them perhaps do now if this city staged exposition of what they make and showed them our interest in their affairs.
 q believe such an exposition could be made a really large and representative affair, and ! regard it as project well worth the consider ation of thoughtful men and women.'
