THE cHAMBERED NAUTILUS

By Oliver Wendell Holmes. Year after year beheld the silent toll That spread his lustrous coil; Still, as the spiral grew,
 He left the past years dwelling for the new, Stole with soft step it's shining archway
 thru, Built up it's idle door, Stretch'd in his last found home, and he knew the-o old no more. Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee, Child of the wandering sea,
 Cast from her lap, fororn
 From thy dead she'll clearer note is born Than ever Titan blew from wreathed horn! While on mine ears it rings, Thro' the deep caves of thought hear a voice that sings. Build thee more stately mansions, oh, my soul As the swift seasons roll!
 Leave thy low-vaulted past!
 Let each new temple, nobier than the last,
 Shut thee from heaven with . dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine 0utsrown she'll by Iifs's unrsst- ing sea!

q would like to see all the people of Bir- mingham get behind all the city commission CTS and show a spirit of cooperation during the rest of their term," said Henry Dunn. "There has been enough criticism; in fact, it seems to be the typical American sport of late to harass our duly elected officers.
 "In the case of the commissioners they were elected by majority of the people of the city, and after their election every person should give them his support and cooperation. To do otherwise is to foster division and strife in his own city and hamper our chances of rapid growth and progress"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
SIMPLIFYING LAND TRANSACTIONS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Every property owner, those expecting some day to own property-in fact, the mat ter is of vital importance to every citizen ot Birmingham-should attend the night session of the Birmingham realtors at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday June 29 at o'clock
 There will be a full explanation of the Torrens land registration, also some strong arguments against the same. This is of vital importance to the. citizens of Alabama, and in my opinion, adoption of the Torrens sys- tenn would be the greatest stride made in mod ern business methods in the state of Alabama in the past 100 years. It will quiet the title and make absolute the ownership of every foot of ground in the state.
 Recently the following questionnaire~ was sent to IA leading financial institutions:
 q. Does your company accept Torrens certificates without question?
 "2. Do you require title insurance with these certificates?
 "3. Do you require title insurance in every of a Torrens certificate?
 A. Do you prefer the abstract system or the Torrens system?
 "5. Do you find that loans or transfer of property can be made more quickly and with less trouble under the abstract or the Tor rens system?
 "6. In your business do you find each year that the number of transactions handled under the Torrens system is increasing and the abstract system decreasing, or vice versa?'
 The following replies were received, four

 At any rate the agitation has caused Con gress to appropriate for the completion of the dam and the development of the conse- quent water power.
 When the government completes the dam the power will be available to the highest bidder and MT. Ford may get it.

 When political issues are not involved the Congress of the United States usually does the proper thing, after taking ample time for investigation.
 It is well that the petty charges against the city commissioners have been dismissed by the courts.
 Perhaps there has never been 8 political contest III CnlS country when Jne can01Qate for office has not promised some positions in advance. A candidate naturally desires the assistance of his friends in subordinate oi- fees after he attains power and it is but natural for him to tell some of his friends that if he is elected he will appoint them to such and such office.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Congressman Kisselps bill designating the daisy as the national flower is the latest of long list of efforts to give the United States floral peer of the rose of England, the thistle of Scotland the shamrock of Ireland, the lily of France and the napl eleaf of Canada. That it is doomed to no better sue cess than it's predecessors may be judged from the fact that while A of the AS states have adopted state flowers, no three have adopted the same.

 Now about the world must range. Little matters where they're going,
 Even less how long they stay; All are bent upon escaping

HEALTH vs. EDUCATION

Proper precautions for the health condi- tions of Alabama will not be assured until an appropriation is set aside for our physical welfare the same as is now set aside for edu- cation,' said Dr. H. s. Ward. "We have been thoughtful enough to set aside portion of our taxes for our mental training but have overlooked the provision for our health.
 4'In my opinion, an appropriation should not only be made for health but a board of health should be given authority to admin ister 1t in the same way as the board of edu- cation spends the money set aside for the education of our boys and girls. That will mean more adequate regard for our health, without which nothing else can be very en- ioyable"

 Whether it was as church leader, as a member of the board of education, as an authority on matters pertaining to Scottish Rite Masonry or as business man, his efforts always made themselves felt for the advance ment and benefit of his fellow men.
