ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
rHE ETERNAL FEMININE

The ladies talk of politics And many other things; Of servants, dogs and babies, too, Of cabbages and kings; Of what's amiss with this old world And how to right it's woes, But soon or late, as sure as fate, They get around to clothes. They talk-the high-browed ladies do- Of lit'rature and art, Of scandals in the neighborhood And matters of the heart; Of motor cars and photoplays Seen at the movie shows, But soon or late, as sure as fate, They get around to clothes.

NEED OF AN AUDITORIUM AGAIN EMPHASIZED

Birminghams need of an auditorium was never more strikingly illustrated than on the occasion of Galli-Curci's first visit. Hundreds of people were turned away because the seat- ing capacity of the Jefferson theatre was in- adequate to accommodate them. Thousands of Birmingham citizens who wanted to hear this great artist, and visitors from other parts of the state could have had that pleasure for moderate price had we possessed an audi

 It may be possible for congressman to be fatigued by his labors. Representative Husted of New York said he needed sleep and refused to get up when there was fire in the New Willard hotel, although water dripped from the walls of his room and ran down the chan delier.

BEAUTY OF WHAT7

q overheard an argument the other day as to which is the largest city in the world, New York or London" said City Detective Thomas N. Williamson. q have visited both cities and I contended that London was the largest by the census, but the question seems to depend on how much territory is included in the census figures.
 "New York and London may continue to argue over which has the most population, but when it comes to sheer beauty no other city can rank with Paris, France"

THE ETERNAL MASCULINE

The men they talk of politics And many other things; Of fishing, dogs, and hunting, too, Of cabbages and kings; Of what's amiss with this old world And why the laws are dry, But soon or late, as sure as fate, They get around to 'I."

Of motor cars and "Follies" girls, And laugh as if they'd die, But soon or late ,as sure as fate, They get around to "I.'

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Under the voice of the people in your most excellent paper, would like to ask the Alabama Power company who furnishes the power? If it would not be good idea in giving credit to whom credit is due in their radio programs to open up with Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow? He may not need thes advertisement as much as tl~ company but when they only furnish few hundred feet of wire at both ends and God fills in all the miles between with nv.ng sparks, is it not fair to just keep talking about what they have done without even reference to the source of their power? In earlier years when man put up the wire all the way and felt God answer with fire they exclaimed in the first message, What hath God wrought?" Don't let us allow the world to grow worse.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:

 AND ELSEWHERE
BERENGUER's ART APPRECIATED

Besides the marvellous voice of Madame Galli-Curci, the most beautiful coloratura 5o- prano in the world today in my opinion, there other equally interesting features in her beautiful concert on Wednesday evening" said Miss Sara Mallam. "Her husband, MT. Samuels is an excellent accompanist, very musical and absolutely in tune with the derful singers voice. And the flutist, MT. Be- renguer, a Spaniard by the way, is artist of the highest order.
 Ut may be of interest to the public to know that a flute obligato which he played to Madame Galli-Curci's wonderful rendition of The Shadow Song from Dnorah,' is his own composition. The music is written lad libi- tum by the composer, Myerbeer, in the orig inal text, leaving it open for the accompani- ment, and MT. Berenguer wrote the cadenza for the flute, four years ago, for Madame Galli- Curci, and she has used it on every pro gram since.
 "The Galli-Curci concert company was one of the most artistic heard here, and the three artists made many friends who will give them a cordial reception always"

"One of the most interesting features which The Age-Herad has ever inaugurated is the Successful Business Women of Birmingham series of stories now being run," said Mrs. W. D. Smith. "The splendid women who are making great success of their work many of them unknown to us, but through The Age Herald stories we are being introduced to new people-new types, new avenues of commer- cial endeavor.
 "The newspapers are always ready, many of them, to fill up their columns with mur- ders and accidents and sensational trials and that sort of thing, and think The Age-Herald has done most atruistc and commendable spirit in inaugurating this series of worth while, wholesome, helpful stories.'

The Best Salesman Wins

In the general sense of the word we are all
SALESMEN
Each one of us today, no matter what may be
our station in life or the means by which we make
a living, sells something If we are physicians, we
sell our ability to heal and to cure disease IL we
are lawyers, we sell our knowledge OF law and the
skill we have in pleading the cause OF our client;
if we are clerks we sell our knowledge OF Office
routine if we are mechanics we sell our ability IN
handling tools and machinery-though OF course,
many of us stay at the same work for years ana
wears so that the element of Craftsmanship Is very
remote but even then we must make good TO holo
the position which we fill; If we are farmers we
sell the products of our soil upon the farm; II we
are laborers we sell our strength and the sweat OF
our brows, and so on, in every walk OF NE linus
craftsmanship enters into every conceNaole trans-
action and the strongest most successful men Ill
any profession in the world, or in any country IN
the world are those who are the best statesmen.
In such occupations as the above, every man Is
bie own Salesman and the ability which every man
has he il great or small, in selling his own labor is
ability which every man must possess in some de-
gree or else he would either starve or become oe-
pendent on the labor or Others
Millions of men and women all over the Worlo
snecialize in Craftsmanship. They get away from
the idea of being their own statesmen ana Selliile
lust their own labor. They sell their ability as
statesmen to producers who cannot sell and dlstrlD-
ute given product as fast as it can be produced
These trained specialists take this part OF the bur-
den for their own work
Today, now, The Pennington Times is looking
