DESCRIBES MIRRORS" AUTHOR

From the New York Times.
 The author of "Mirrors of Washington will have another book out in July. Evidently anonymity, for he still keeps his identity sec ret. However, for those who enoy guessing, Washington. newspaper correspondent sub- mits the following details:
 He wears glasses attached to black cord about his neck. His shirts are palely striped and have the initials-but there, to give away the initials would be letting his identity out of the basket. He smokes innumerable cigarettes, always vowing to "swear off for ever as he throws away the butt of the last one. He has decided leaning toward suits of a light hue. He suffers from the heat He likes to remove his shoes when he is doing any serious writing. Composition does not come easy to him, and he writes by hand with painful slowness, the perfect expression rising one by one full grown from the depths of his brain.
 He never reads what he writes. He is bit cynical about public life and newspapers, yet his cyncism never blurs his accurate vision. He is not always happy. His conversation gilt ters with bright words He has warm heart but never repents for having used barrel stave on some unworthy public character.
 He thinks the case of certain energetic newspaper man in New York who, upon the publication of the Mirrors" immediately wired the Washington bureau of his paper to deny the story that he was the author of the volume is about the funniest thing he ever heard of.
 Now, can you guess who he is?

BIRMINGHAM HELPING OUT
 OTHER SECTIONS

Again the Birmingham district is free from labor troubles while districts less fortunate endure serious handicap on production
 While the coal output of the east has been restricted by the strike, and, but for an un- precedented accumulation of stocks of coal prior to the strike, there would have been a pronounced decrease in steel and iron pro- duction, the output of coal in Alabama has risen from far below normal to full capacity at a majority of mines.
 The coal production of Alabama, which sev- eral weeks ago was averaging 275,00o tons a week, has reached 325,0 ,000 and 330,00O tons. The increase is being consumed in the west where the coal strike is felt Kentucky and Tennessee mines supplying the demand in the north.
 The Illinois Central, Mobile and Ohio, Mis- souri Pacific, Iron Mountain and other roads with western terminals are taking Alabama coal in increasing quantities. Some Alabama coal has gone to Chicago and to St. Louis under the new rates.
 New business incident to the strike has reached about 5o,Oo0 tons week, and this has established full operations at many domes- tic mines, while the furnace company mines are operating for furnace purposes. The de- mand for coke has also grown and caused Q larger production.

MAN CHARGED WITH
BEATING HIS WIFE

A person cannot beat up his
wife in this city and get away
with it even if the wife is SO ten
der hearted she does object. This
lesson was taught to 1sadore
Shaffmaa, R.manian Jew. in
police court this morning, when
EIsadore was before Mayor W. w
Conway for beating his wife.
The defendant explained to
Mayor Conway that his wife did
not complain and that he felt
insulted and abused in being ar
rested by Officer Thomas Ford
Yesterday afternoon and jerked
into the city Jail all because of
the family trouble concerning
only himself and his wife.
He had no sooner expressed
these thoughts until Mayor Con-
away announced that he would
give the defendant real trial,
and permit him to show just how
he had been abused. In the mean
time, the city authorities will
gather all available evidence to
show that the wife was brutally
beaten by her husband on numer-
Gus occasions and yesterday morn
ing in particular, "nen IL Is Sdtu,
Shaffman beat up his wife. broke
the furniture at his home and
tore up things in general.
Complaint after complaint has
been received from neighbors as
to the brutal treatment received
by Fannie Shaffman from her
husband, and the city authorities
say they will have all the evil
dence they want to prove the
case.
The arrest was made yesterday
afternoon by Officer Thomas
Ford. The wife was said to have
a large mark on her head and
other nj rks about her body from
mistreatment by her husband.
Shaffman was brought to the city
building and locked up in Jail
without a forfeit. His wife later
came to the police station and
plead with the city officers to
have her husband released.
The indignant manner in which
Shaffman objected to his arrest
was resented by the city authori-
ties this morning, and if he is
found guilty of the charges made
against him, he will be dealt with
severely, it is said. His trial has
been postponed until 8 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

Honor Home-Maker

"In lectures at the Kansas City national tod
show this week, Mrs. Ida Bailey Allen has oeen
directing attention to many questions involvGlin
the important occupation of housekeeping and
home-making," says the Kansas City Star.
aside from any difference of opinion alto
whether the woman's place is in the home, il re
mains fact, and doubtless will remain tat,
that the great majority of American womer IRE
to be found in the home, and that what thsTdo
there has most vital relation to the welfae of
the whole country. A genuine service is hngI
performed in the recent attention to all pbses
of housekeeping, and it is highly probable that
the net result of this will be to systematic, SIN
plify and increase the value of this occupatn.
Probably no form of work has failed aore
signally to gain proper recognition than thdask
of running home. Rightly considered this
task calls for the best forms of ability, executive
talent and business energy
There are cempensations in home-m1ing
that are exceeded by those of no other octpa
ton. For the home, as Mrs. Allen remin(s us,
is the center from which must radiate the flu-
ences that go toward housekeeping and Else-
cleaning on a nationwide scale. The good lolse-
keeper is, or should be, the best voter, thenost
helpful citizen. Scientific knowledge that's be-
ing made available on the preparation offood,
the business training that is being offeSd In
the encouragement to household budget sysems,
and the direct relation between good hom@nak-
ing and the social problems of divorce and nuth-
full delinquencies now being stressed, all ap full
of promise of better conditions generally.
There is valuable work here, perhaN, for
the women's organizations in the churches GER
tainly for the schools and various social agencies.
The public service of good housekeeping mould
have wider recognition. The genius tht can
help make it more attractive and assist ingiving
it it's deserved rewards is imperativelyg IN de-
mand. There ought to be some kind of insntory
of the nations assets in real home builders The
service of this class of workers sheA be
brought into the open. 1t should receiE the
honor it long has been denied. If a parole is
necessary, let the housekeepers parade They
would form line as imposing and fully sig
nificant as the American Legion forna in
Kansas City last November. Audit WOLF call
for the same recognition that array of mirhers
received"

PLAN CULT|VATING

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 25.-English pal
ates, long noted for their appreciation
of fine old wines, are in danger of
deterioration because of the. lower
price Of vintages, according to a group
Of prominent wine merchants, who
propose an English wine week" in
emulation of the French custom. Wine,
they declare. is no longer a luxury,
and the lower price has brought it
within the reach of all.
The purpose of wine week, it is
said, will be to educate the English
taste for wines and also to instruct
diners in the elementary rules and
traditional usages of beverage selec
tions. 1t is also planned to gather q
representative group of speakers anC
writer's to sing the praises of wine
and to tell those who would learn
how to drink it. The merchants ex
pect substantial assistance from the
governments of wine producing coun
tries, such as France, Italy, Spain and
Australia.

The Penalty

q The average man feels relieved after an out
burst of profanity He has been relieved in two
ways. The first is an emotional relief from in
ternal stress through mere words rather than
through action. This is the relief of weaklings
devoid of intelligence otherwise to handle the
situation that called forth the outburst.
When such profanity involves cursing, the
:, of Dietys name, the utterer is relieved of
little of his faith in God Each repetition of such
curses results in nicking off little more of ones
supply of faith. AS ones faith diminishes, spr-
ituality withers. When ones faith is gone,
spirituality is dead and only husk of personality
remains to drag on a sensual existence.
None but the spiritually dead view the
sweep of the mighty river of millions of stars in
the sky, and, realizing they all proceed according
to immutable laws, deny the existence of q
Creator and Plan.
b. We are but star stuff. Our bodies are made
and maintained out of the materials of which
the earth is composed. Through the medium OF
the vegetable, mineral becomes human.
The laws of the universe under which the
stars faithfully keep in their proper courses are
the laws for those specks of star dust called hui
man beings. We punish ourselves when we
break those laws.
One of the greatest of those laws seems tt
be to have unwavering faith in the Creator ano
His Plan Those who have faith seem to be the
happiest and most serviceable beings.
Therefore those who have not that faith by
reason of cursing and reviling have punished
themselves. They have shut themselves out
Of the greatest power and enjoyment, ant
have left only the dying tinglings of sensatt
flesh reaping what has been sowed.
