ONCE IS ENOUGH

Man is not important in the cosmic universe, Lingers here a little while and then he goes
 away; Still we must acknowledge that his fate it might
 be worse, If he were compelled thousand years or so
 to stay. Should he live century he drains the chalice
 dry, Any longer tenure would be something of
 bore; Most of us would rather, when our time has
 come to die, Face an unknown future than begin the
 journey o'er

FIRE-PRooF CONSTRUCTION

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Your editorial in Tuesday mornings paper, "Has the Frame Structure Been Malgned?" would be tragic if it were taken seriously.
 Of course the associations of various build ing materials can furnish all sorts of data to prove their claims, which is perfectly natural; but as distinguished former President once remarked, "We have a condition and not a theory to deal with"
 Facts are rather incontrovertble, though sometimes very embarrassing to ones adver- Using desires, and the unbiased testimony of the fire underwriters, I imagine, will continue to control public officials in fixing fire limits in which frame construction is prohibited. In every instance where large downtown fire occurs it is always traceable to the mixing in of lumber joists and frames with the e-proof brick and tile construction
 Experience in Birmingham certainly demon- strates that fire seldom gains any headway in have occurred only where lumber has been used on interior construction.
 The records of the fire department, am sure, will show that it is much easier to con- fine fire in brick residence than it is in frame, and as rule when a frame house burns, all that is left are the brick piers and chimneys.
 brick house with burned clay tile roof not only carries the lowest rate of insurance, but is a protection to the household goods within The inmates can sleep in peace and free from fear of fire by night" Yours respectfully
 JOHN w. SHELBY.

on this score Mrs. Rhinehart made clever and pointed adaptation. There has been such a weter of comment on dress that the matter has become commonly dstasteful. Many con- siderations have been lugged in that have no reasonable part in such discussion, and no good was effected thereby; but the whole mat ter sums up, not alone for the present, but for all time, in what Mrs. Rhinehart says: "A woman is well dressed when she can stand the

SOUTHERN BY. AND TWENTIETH STREET


 or the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In The Age Herald few days ago called attention to the infamous nuisance created by the Southern railway in stopping accommoda- tion trains astride Twentieth street to dis charge few passengers and the passing to and fro of the switching engine in shunting cars to the freight depot. A clerk of that company answers by stating that he has lived in our midst for five years and never heard com plaint about these things Evidently he at tended night school and is therefore a night clerk I have lived on South Highlands for near 35 years, and daily hear complaints against the Southern at this point.
 He forgets that the courtesy" of the South ern in stopping all traffic ons Twentieth street while it discharges few passengers is great discourtesy to Birmingham people, who own the street.
 This might clerk" asks why make no refer ence to the Louisville and Nashville. Simply because this road neither stops passenger trains astride the street nor uses it for shunting freight cars. high-class Southside business man, who gets freight by the carload and less, through the Southern and Louisville and Nash vile, remarked to me some days ago that it seemed strange that the police department d.

ton. Representative Greene has had
career typical Of self-sustainlng
New England. When he was 10 years
old he left public schools and went
TO work as errand-boy in one Of the
Offices Of the Central Vermont Rail
way. In such spare time as he could
find, he studied shorthand. Within a
year he was made stenographer IN the
general freight department. Thence
he was promoted to the position OF
chief clerk, where he served until 1891.
Then, at the age Of 81, he became
reporter on the St. Adams Daily Mes
senger. Within a year he was made
assistant editor of that paper; in 1899
ne was made its editor. That record
speaks for itself. He was elected to
Congress July 30, 1912, and has been
-e-elected to each succeeding Con-
yress. He is a man whose experience
,as broadened his view Of public ques-
ions and he ranks among the fore
most men of New England in public
