AERIAL. CRIME

From the New Orleans Times Pacayune.
 French imagination recently has become ab- sorbed in speculations as to the criminal poten- tialities of the airplane Before the flying machine came into practical use this question was discussed quite commonly, but as rule umorously-American cartoonists taking par ticular delight in portraying the aerial bandit, knave or everyday vagabond in variety of ridiculously awless roles. However, it is with all seriousness that the French now are talking about the arplane as future police problem which may call for decidedly new methods in law enforcement.
 Already. it is pointed out, the airplane has figured in number of crimes A short while ago, according to suspicious in Paris, French pilot was shot and killed by Londoner while flying at an altitude of about 5000 feet and while this presumption is disputed in London the French forum will not be deprived of it's contention that the other is an ideal and beau tiful place for murder-under favorable cir cumstances. The circumstances, it might be said, incidentally, were not so favorable in the case to which we have just referred, as the man believed to have fired the shot fell to his death in the falling plane. A quiet spot in the woods, a dark alley some other mundane location, it seems, would be vastly more desirable. The killer would run less personal risk.
 The airplane thus far has constituted no grave problem for officers of the law. It is within the realm of possibility, to be sure, that some day it will give them quite bit of worry. This is one of the things to be expected along with improved facilities. When the pistol was invented it was not intended for burglars and bandits, but they were quick to see it's value in their operations. Terrorists and anarchists have made wide use of time bombs, which were not intended for them at all. If the air plane is ever a practical device for the crim- inal it may be depended upon it's possibilities are not going to be overlooked. At the same time he will always find officers of the law just a little more up-to-date than he is.

BILL WHITE RUNS AFOUL OF LAW IN KANSAS

William Allen White survived the painful discovery that the modern boy doesn't care as much about dogs as the eminent Emporia edi- tor supposed, only to be drawn into battle for what he conceives to be an inalienable right handed down by our. forefathers.
 Gov. H. J. Allen of Kansas, close friend of Editor White, has authorized his arrest on the charge of violating the anti7picketing in- junction of the Kansas industrial court by hanging a placard in window of his news paper office stating that he is "5o per cent in favor of the railroad strikers. The per- csntage was originally 100, but Editor White changed that first to 49 per cent and later to 50 per cent.
 Dispatches from "Empory," perhaps the most famous "small townn in. America, made 10 by "Bil1" White and his longtime colleague "Uncle Walt Mason, state that Bill" has re- fused to take down his sign. He is quoted as saying:
 The right of | free utterance of honest opinions
 k fundamental right Our fathers fought for it sat Bunker Hill and st Gettysburg. and to restrict ny man from the calm expression of an honest
 opinion merely because there is a strike on in

 M usual, "Old Bill'' makes sensible obser- vation. Kansas is noted for it's freak legisla- tion. The particular law which he is charged with violating seems to be fair example. If ' is m illegal form of picketing for citizen = oeed standing to announce by placard, ban

 When, some forty years ago, the Master of the Torigiani Palace sole Barlini a somewhat dilapidated carpet for the paltry sum of $3o, he probably had no idea that Bardini would shortly thereafter sell it to one of the Roths- chlds for the equivalent of $7,O0O.

POOLING OF VEGETABLES

"The Jefferson County Truck Growers as- sociation, organized year ago, has saved to each of it's members in buying only nearly S400," said- T. J. Jordan county agricultural agent. "Ths includes fertilizer, part of which came through the State Farm bureau, baskets, seeds and spray materials. It is estimated that since we have been operating our own market place in Birmingham, the association as a whole has saved time and money to it's members of more than S200,00o.
 Everybody is now talking pooling which means that all our vegetables will be placed at the disposal of sales committee whose busi- ness it will be to grade and sell all the com modities or any part of them. This system has been tried and has proven satisfactory, and it will mean more uniform price over the entire season for all our vegetables"

AMERICANS FAVORED BY CHINESE

AMERICANS FAVORED BY CHINESE
 "No other people are favored to the extent in China that the Americans are" said Allen c. Loehr, local director of the Alexander Hamilton institute, who spent several years in China as vice consul and business repre- sentative.
 America has the call in the empire because she has lived up to her word No other na- tion can escape the charge of exploitation lodged against it. For that reason the trade possibilities for our people are particularly great But it is necessary to understand China. John Hays, Secretary of State years ago, said, Whoever understands Chinas pos abilities in the future holds the keys to world progress for tbe next 500 years.
 "China is waking up from her reputation as a sleeping giant However, trade condi- tons there are similar to what they were here 20 or 30 years ago. Business is now cut-throat game--every man to himself. Foreigners largely have control of the bust ness. The country has no factory system to speak of. Manufacturing is done in individual homes. The people are close livers and their money is divided up until they have a coin valued at only 10-1o0o of dollar. It is par ticulary y@easy to start in business over there put IL IS ndruef 10 SUCK.

 PER CAPITA SAVINGS
 Alabama is great state,' declared F. W. Dixon, president of the Security Savings and Loan company, "but in one big respect only two states--Vermont and Texas-are behind us. I mean in per capita savings in building and loan associations For example, Ohio leads with $66 25, which is more than double their rate of 10 years ago. Louisiana has $19 19, and even New York has 80. e5. Ala bama has $1s1 per head. Even South Caro- lima surpasses us with $3 23.
 ESQ, despite the very healthy growth of the building and loan idea in Alabama, we have quite a way yet to go. With the set ting down and filling-in' process that Birmine- ham is entering after its very rapid growth of the past 20 years, look for big increase in home owners in this city.
 "And when people begin to think about owning their own homes the building and loan figures shoot up. For no better and easier way has ever been found for the everyday man and woman to own their homes than through building and loan association.
 "Our own institution has had the greatest six months growth in its history the first half of the year, and we look for the last half to beat that.a

NOTHING LIKE PICNIC

"This week the members of the Second Presbyterian Christian Endeavor society thor oughly enjoyed an outing at Edgewood park" said Miss Gladys English. Shortly after ar irving at the park a delicious picnic lunch was served, and then the crowd left for the Edgewood church to attend the monthly rally.
 "The picnic had the desired effect, as the Second Presbyterian Christian Endeavor won the percentage banner with 95 per cent If members present There is nothing like pie nic to put life into a Christian Endeavor so- city during the summer months"

CITY SHOULD JOIN TRAFFIC BUREAU

The city of Birmingham should become a member of the Traffic bureau Some time ago it's purchasing agent and that-of Jefferson county became members of the Purchasing Agents association, and they are now in touch with the leading buyers of the district who know where and how to purchase advsedly and whose purpose is to patronize home con- cerns.
 The city and county are the largest busi- ness enterprises in the district and cannot af- ford to be haphazard in the matter of heavy freight and express charges which are incl dent to the large amount of material pur- chased.
 The traffic bureau has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for it's shipper members in it's five-year period of existence through it's expert knowledge of freight and express rates and it's efficient system of handling ex- pense accounts.
