"USED" THOUGHTS

EMERSON, wisest of all American
- essayists, says somewhere that
every man must sooner or later make
up his mind that he and no one else
must determine his future.
We can learn from others knowledge,
methods, even wisdom.
Other men can teach us how to
think, us they can teach us how to
swim or play golf.
But they cannot swim for us, they
cannot play golf for US, and they can
not think for us.
We all employ great deal Of
thought that is not our own. That
must be, for we should be foolish not
to profit by the accumulated wisdom
of those who have gone before.
But these used" thoughts, while we
must at times employ them, serve not
Mt all to develop our minds.
And while we might get along fairly
well through life without original
thought, we should die little wiser than
when we began, and contribute moth
ing whatever to the progress of the
world.
All that is of value in education is
learning how to think.
From biography we derive great
deal but most of it consists in know
ing how other men thought, and how
their thought made their careers.
If we carry all our problems to 9th.
ers to solve for us, we shall some day
be confronted with a great problem
and lack the understanding of how to
grapple with it.
And in that time there will be no
one to help us, and we shall meet with
failure that may change for the
worse the course of our lives.
Most of us will do anything rather
than think, for thinking Is labor of the
hardest kind.
But 1t is the sort of labor that
means development, that enables us to
use our minds for our own advance
ment, that makes us resourceful and
Independent and not afraid of tackllng
whatever comes along.
There are small differences between
the outsides of our heads. There are
tremendous differences between the In
sides Of them. And those of us who
have learned to think have developed
machines which steadily and industrl-.
ously through the years will work for
our prosperity and our happiness. Blu,
these whose thoughts are second ham
wonder why they never arrive.

Indigestion gives rise to very morbid

All these things are due to the

way the mlitarsts of Germany profess to re- gard their fallen monarch, man who has earned the contempt of nearly the whole world. If leader of Hindenburg' greputa- tion and ability is thus servile what must be the feelings of lesser beings in the fatherland who still worship the Hohenzollerns?
 In his letter Hendenburg assumes his share of responsibility for the decision which led Wilhelm to desert his army and his people. It was based, says Hindenburg, lon the unani- nous recommendation of all your competent advisors. Grave danger threatened that your majestys person would be seized by mutineers and delivered into the hands of in- ternal or external enemies. Such shame and disgrace had to be spared the fatherland un- der all circumstances"
 Hindenburg says he does not Goubt that the ex-Kaser would not have gone to Holland had he not believed that the chief of the gen eral staff deemed it imperative, although a temporary expedient. Hndenburg reaffrms his allegiance to Wilhelm and signs his letter, with the deepest awe and greatest thankful nesso
 No matter what attempts may be made by German monarchists to defend the former Kaiser from the charge of cowardice, it will not change the verdict of history. Hindenburg apparently does not realize that Wilhelm as a captive in the hands of his enemies would have commanded the respect he forfeited by ig- nominiously running away.

An Arkansas judge, charged with "over- zealousfess in kissing woman," has re- signed. In case like that just when does jus tifiable zeal become excessive?
  Some of the coal operators admit that they were licked by John Lewis. An honest con fession is good for the soul.
 % # The way some newspapers advertise the ex- Kaiser's memoirs suggests that they still think he is a person of importance. South Carolina has temporarily squelched Cole Blease, but he will bear watching as long as he is alive and kicking.
 x There wasn't any reason why the Encyco- pedia Britannica should go out of it's way to romp on "Newt" Baker.
 < x Indiana farmers will hold pig-calling con- test. Being able to page pig properly is no small accomplishment. Just when we were about to forget it, Rud- yard Kipling has renewed the argument over who won the war An oil boom in the Arctic circle would give promoters chance to print some pretty stock certificates.
 k * F Barring threatening letters from the mails might put some of the collection agencies out of business.

MOTION PICTURE HOUSES ARE BARRED FROM STAMFORD

Stratford -on-Avon, birthplace of the Myriad minded" Shakespeare, will be kept sacred from the "malign atmosphere of motion pictures. Celebrities of the screen will continue to mean nothing in particular to the honest burghers who reverence the name of Stratford's foremost citizen. The streets where "gentle Will'' strolled about his everyday business are not for the movie palace and lurid posters herald ing Mir. Chaplin in his latest masterpiece, or smiling Mary in one of those sweet photoplays the sob sisters dote on.
 American Consul Bailey reports to the com merce department that movement by Amer ican motion picture producers to invade Strat- ford aroused intense indignation among the inhabitants. A mass meeting was held, attend ed by all the leading citizens, who declared such dissertation would not be permitted.
 With so many other fields to conquer, and so many already conquered, it reflects somewhat on the intelligence of our movie magnates that they should think of turning Stratford into motion picture town.>, Even in America we have a strong sentimental attachment to place that is literary shrine for the whole world and pilgrims sojourning there tempo rarily would be glad to forego the movies

PROBLEM OF THE TURK STILL
 BRINGS TROUBLE

The political jealousies of western Europe have restored the "sick man" and made him a problem of the first magnitude. The allies had the power to thrust him into Asia and force him to stay there, thus eliminating him as Euro pean factor. Instead the Turkish nationalsts have had more or less encouragement to come back and back they have come.
 Now the Balkan mess threatens the same old complications Russia is protesting against the allied possession of the Dardanelles, the Turks are riding high horse, Bulgaria, while deny ing it Ia denial which amounts to nothing), is itching for thrust at the Greeks, her old ene- mics; France continues to play her hidden hand against Greece, and there is danger of another Balkan war as great as that of 1912.
 Intelligent Greeks in this country declare that the withdrawal of the Greek armies has not been rout, and is not to be credited 10 superior fighting forces greater number of men in the opposing Turkish armies, but to their realization that at least some of the all lies have not wished them to succeed in this campaign against Turkey and because the Turks have been actually encouraged while they have been hampered in their military movements.
 It seems queer to an American with his di- rect manner of thinking that western Europe has not been able to bring Itself to the point of kicking the Turk out of Europe. He is an interloper there, he is opposed to. European civilization and religious beliefs, and he is an absolute incongruity among Christian peoples. Were dead line drawn by the western Euro pean nations the Turk would not dare come beyond it, but Europe trifles with the "sick man" and he breeds trouble.
 It is crime of 45O years standing, and the longer Europe defers expiation the more diff ficult it seems to become account of the same old jealousy that permitted the Turk to enter Europe in 1456.

ELIMINATING USELESS WORD FROM MARRIAGE VOWS

The house of bishops of the Protestant Epis- copal church has voted, 36 to 27, to take the word "obey'' out of the marriage ceremony. Femnsts will approve this action. great many other people who are not much concerned in the feminist movement have reached the conclusion thatsmarriage is not what it used to be.
 It doesn't make any particular difference what words are spoken at the altar. The suc- cess or failure of marriage depends on the man and woman who enter this relationship for better or worse. Mistakes may be made, of course. With the best intentions the matri- monial bark is sometimes wrecked, but even then it is not necessary to forego the ameni- ties of life. Husband and wife who sever their relations should endeavor to part friends, without going to the opposite extreme and kiss ing each other good-by, or giving other mani festations of affection which may startle the court.
 Marriage has become more and more an equal partnership, and since it is a foregone conclusion that husband is going to disobey his wife, when he can, the wife should be given the same privilege. It is privilege she exercises, anyhow.
 The marital yoke, most authorities agree, should be made as light as possible, with due regard to the sanctty of the home and the re- responsibilities which marriage entails, but some of the advanced thinkers go too far. If q married woman were legally entitled to retain her maiden name it would cause endless com plications, particularly in the case of off, spring, and the idea of separate establish ments, with casual meeting now and then. is fundamentally wrong.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
OPPOSED TO cUT-oUTs

q think we should have state law prohib- iting any kind of motor vehicle with cut-out to enter the state,' said Dr. H. c. Crelly. "A motor vehicle driven with a cut-out open IS one of the worst nuisances that l can think ot among the motor-owning people. The other day while coming to Birmingham by way of the Springville road, a motorist just ahead of me had his cut-out continuously in operation, and it raised considerable dust along the high- way, which not only covered with dust the cars back of him, but also dusted the houses along the way There are several states in the union today which have laws prohibiting automobile manufacturers from shipping automobiles with cut-outs attached into those states, and do not see why it is that Alabama should not adopt the same laws. This is not the only objection that have to cut-outs, and the majority ot the people I have talked with in this respect agree with me, and that is the noise created by these automobiles in the residential section, especially at night when the majority of the people have retired. l understand that there are laws in the city prohibiting the opening of cut-outs but these laws not rigidly en- forced Another thing that should be looked after is the glaring headlights on the automo- biles It is wonder to me that there are not more accidents caused by this condition than have taken place. These are two conditions that should be looked after by the proper au- thorites."

ATTEMPT TO WHITEWASH
 THE FORMER KAISER

A letter allegedrto have been addressed to the former Kaiser by Hindenburg and pub lished in Der Tag, Berlin reactionary news paper, has been cabled to America. Dis patches of this sort should be read advisedly, but this one is interesting, and if true is an attempt to palliate Wilhelm's cowardly flight to Holland.
 The old war lord addresses his master as "Most Exalted, All Mightiest Kaiser, Most Gracious Kaiser, King and Lord" Can we im- agine red-blooded American paying such sickenins adulation to any human being? Thank heaven, we cannot Yet, this is the

KNIGHT OF THE CURLING ToNGs

From the London Times.
 to celebrate their great confrere Marcel and the fiftieth anniversary of his epoch-making dscov- cry of "wavngn ladies' hair. He is to be pre- sented with his bust, and the occasion is further to be rendered memorable by weeks festivities at Luna park, with prizes, balls and banquets. All this in honor of the man who, armed with nothing but his curling tongs-his s-a-friser-levelled the naughty chignon to the dust and lowered lovely woman with a fresh charm.
 A stonemasons son, born on October 18, 1852 at Chauvgny in the Vienne, he landed IF years later in Paris, bent upon being one day the court hardresser For long time he was content to shave for twopence and dress ladies' hair for fivepence. One day. struck by the beauty of his mothers wavy hair, he con- ceived the idea of producing artificial waves. He seized his fers-a-friser and with flash of genius applied them--in the science of usage groove downwards. He had discovered the se- cret, and he kept it jealously for 20 years. His first client possessed such mass of bristly hair that Marcel recoied, but the offer of five francs settled the business and he turned out such masterpiece of undulations that people began to talk of him.
 In 1882 he moved into the rue de lEchelle, close to the Tuileres, and from that moment fame was assured The professional beauty, Irma de Berry, Jane Hading-Marcel had the honor of posing" her coiffure for the first night of the Maitre de Forges-Montbazon, Jane Granier, Calve and score of other scarce ly less famous artists became his clients. So- ciety ladies soon fell prey to the grace of waving" So great was the crush in his salon that many beauty paid ten or fifteen louis to obtain tour de favour. One lady paid 400 francs as the price of having her hair waved chez elle at o'clock in the morning, while an Englishwoman is said to have given Marcel 1000 francs and his travelling expenses for special visit to London. The seance lasted 25 minutes. Everything in Paris was la Marcel without allusion to him.
 Suddenly on July IA, 1897, this modern Fi- garo closed his shop and retired, at the age of 45. He had amassed fortune of 1000 OOO francs and he meant to enjoy it. He started off with his wife to visit Italy and Greece, but only got as far as the Department of the Eure where the old Chateau de Theil took his fancy. He purchased it with soc acres of land and set tied down as a stock breeder and gentleman farmer. He still it may be added, treasures the

CAPLES' PROPHECY SOON
 TO BE REALIZED

Birmingham has another steel car building plant. The Virginia Bridge and Iron company has nearly completed building and repair addition to it's structural steel plant in East Birmingham and is about to begin rebuilding and repairing railroad cars and building new ones. It will start with contract for re- building 1000 old cars and building 100 new ones.
 M. J. Caples, vice president of the Seaboard Air Line, whose road is getting 1,75o new steel cars from the Chickasaw plant, and has let a contract for rebuilding 500 cars to the Vir- ginia Bridge and Iron company, said not long ago that Birmingham was destined soon to be the largest car manufacturing center in the country. The district is making strides in that direction.
 The development of the structural steel and steel welding industry here is attaining breadth and stability for the same reason that Birmingham pig iron sets the price for the na- tion. The building of steel cars for southern railroads is the outcome of the same natural advantages. MT. Caples is prophet and will not have to live much longer to see the full fillment of his prophecy.

WILDE IN AMERICA

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 When the steamer bringing Oscar Wilde from England arrived in New York there were many representatives of the press wait ing to interview the famous poet and play wright-the author of "Lady Windemere's Fan," and "The Importance of Being Earnest
 Wilde was very genial and talked freely to reporters on all occasions, but particularly on this one-the occasion of his introduction to the new world, He was anxious to make a good impression and to assure for himself a successful lecture tour.
 Of course his every word was listened to eagerly, and the distinguished arrival was in good form His wit was spontaneous and never failing It was always bubbling-even after a rough voyage across the Atlantic. : Wide's trunks were piled on the dock, and, as usual with new arrival, he was anxious to get away from anything that looked like ship and go to his hotel. But he had to wait for his luggage to be inspected. When the revenue officer approached him and inquired what MT. Wilde had to declare, the poet made the following remark, which has been quoted many times, and which made fine copy for the newspaper men.
 Wilde said, as he flicked the ashes from his ever-present cigarettes
 q have nothing to declare but my genius
 But Oscar Wilde's genius was a very won- derful thing to declare, and with which to delight his audiences and readers Wilde was stimulating and refreshing. He had the gift of speaking in the most humorous way, and of playing with words.
 MT. Harris says:
 "One night he took up the word loss' at the table, I remember. We lose our chances, he said laughing, we lose our figures, we even lose our characters, but we must never lose our temper That is our duty to our neghbor, Frank, but sometimes we mislay it, don't wei"
 Wilde was in great demand as a dinner guest. It is mot surprising, when h, could say such amusing things in an off-hand man.. ner.
