PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER DURING "CLEAN UP" WEEK

The first week in April has been set aside as Clean Up Week." This is "drve" in which every citizen of Birmingham can par ticpate. The city commission has given it's approval and the people of Birmingham who believe in paint, soap and the scrubbing brush are urged to make it success.
 People who own homes are judged to a large extent by their premises. A house that needs painting, yard that is full of trash indicates to the casual observer that the occu- pants are shiftless and lazy. It makes little difference whether person owns number of apartment houses or single bungalow Everybody should cooperate. Fences may need repairing; houses may need coat of paint and there may be an accumulation of trash in back yards. With the advent of spring the same impulses which lead house. holder to buy garden seed and wied hoe should cause him to look about his premises and put them in order.
 Environment means a great deal and Clean Up Week. gives everybody an opportunity to 'set his house in order."

WOMEN BOUGHT wAsHINcToN.s HOME

Heloise Young in St. Nicholas.
 Of course, every one knows that Mount Yer non was the home of General Washington, but comparatively few know who now takes care of it. It is generally supposed that Mount Vernon belongs to the government. or to the Colonial Danes to the Daughters of the American Revolution, but these impressions are wrong for it really belongs to the Mount Yer non Ladies Association of the Union,' which is composed of a representative from each state. It came into the possession of this as- sociation in the following manner:
 In about the year 1920, John A Washing ton, ST., offered to sell Mt. Vernon to the government, but they would not buy it. After the death of MT. Washington, his son, John A. Washington, Jr., again offered it to the govern ment which again declined to purchase 1t. He then offered it to the state of Virginia, which also refused it. Then it was, in 1853. that Miss Anne Pamela Cunningham of South Carolina went to Mt. Vernon to see Mir. Washington about purchasing it. After much persuasion he agreed to sell 200 acres, including the house and tomb of Washington, for $200,000, with the condition that if the ladies failed to take

ALABAMA WILL HAVE NO PART
 IN THE COAL STRIKE

Leaders of the United Mine Workers of America, according to dispatch from Cleve- land, are planning to invade nonunion ter ritory in attempt to win the approaching coal strike, and Alabama is one of the states where organizers will try to influence non- union miners to quit work.
 So far as this state is concerned, the bitu- minous coal strike will be strictly a union affair. Miners in the Birmingham district were persuaded to strike by union officials.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT CANDIDATES
 AND TE1ElR METHODS OF MARKING WAY

use the advertising columns of The Age Herald to abuse his opponent He may if he care te applaud himself, make much of his mental qualifications, his personal beauty, and his prowess of character. He may tell of being the father of twins; or of never having been susce ptible to the beauty the charms of the other sex. He may tell of his desires to be united.
 But he cannot be abusive, nor indulge in prize fight of typographical production.
 So, Mr. Candidate, with your six shooter of type and rhetoric will you kindly go else where with your political advertisements. The Alabama law makes provision for the print ing of such but this Age-Herald wants not of such.
 So please smash the other fellow in the eye with the type of some other newspaper.
 The above should be understood.
 Times are better now. The tide of good times is approaching. None of us want to see it's crest filtered up with surf boats of self ishness
 The profiteer has had his day. Let him retire and live upon his income, and read good books and fish in the streams of pleasure.
 But he must get out of the way of the ann bilious youngster who is willing to do full days work for full days pay.

 What we need in Birmingham and this whole country today are the men who are willing and glad to put their shoulders to the wheel and, do things-not what known as "slick artists" or 'sck politicians" who would win by their wits rather than by their work.
 Walk from the Brown Marx building out Twentieth street to the Tutwiler hotel any day between 12 and 1 o'clock and count the poli- ticians. the men who live on their wits, and the men who work. Make three columns of them, and tabulate them afterwards. You will be surprised.
 Put the wits to work and Birmingham will hum like Henry Ford's Detroit shops-like his promises of Muscle Shoals.

the year. Our cement plants, which led the nation last year, are assured of maximum capacity operations during the year to meet the demand for their product in the south.
 Our powder mills report increased de- mand both for general construction and by the farmers for clearing land. Wire mills are selling the farmers wire fencing for the first time in year. The demand for high pressure pipe for the Pacific coast and at large is endless.
 Makers of cast iron culverts for road work, already on TO per cent base of production, foresee larger and larger operations as the tremendous highway building program of the south this year gathers momentum. Overall factories are hard put to supply the men who are returning to work throughout the district.
 Pig iron has recovered the competitive mar kets. Six blast furnaces have resumed this year. Steel production at Ensey is at capacity and one hears of new output records
 Bank clearings and building valuations show large increases. And no labor troubles loom on the Alabama horizon. :.

COMPENSATION LEGISLATION

Much has been said about the compensation legislation for ex-service men now before the Senate after successfully passing the national House by good majority. The real fight for the measure will be made shortly" Matt Mur- phy, national committeeman of the American legion, indicated, "when the matter goes be- fore the Senate.
 "No real pressure brought to bear upon the House, following survey which in- dicated passage, although diplomacy in de- degree was pressed into service. Within q short while, it is believed expressions will be heard from many either one way or the other on the stand they will take when the matter comes up for consideration in the Senate"

 A REBUFF FROM MIR. WILSON

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 The Lucy Stone league, an organization of the "emancipated" who believe that married women should retain their maiden names, re- ceived a rather abrupt slap from ex-President Woodrow Wilson recently. Upon being re- quested to send an expression of opinion re- garding the objective of the league which was to be read at their dinner, MT. Wilson's secre- tary wrote "Mr. Wilson wishes me to say in reply to your letter of March 1 that he does not approve of the object of your league" This probably will not deter the embattled women from continuing to insist to the point of absurdity that their names are not their husbands names.

A MORNING PRAYER
HARMONY BETWEEN FARM
 AND THE FACTORY

That more men are employed in factories than on the farms of the country does not signify what the figures would indicate. It does not mean that the farms are neglected. If that were the case the production of farms would have decreased, but it has increased.
 A lot of farm work is done in the factories. The farm fence is built there. Where farmers and their sons with great labor and time hewed down trees and split rails for fencing purposes, they now string wire. Where the farmers wife perspred over soft soap pots and bent her back over loom, soap and cloth better than she could make and costing less, come from the factory.
 Where 10 with scythes were required to mow a field of wheat, harvester machine driven by boy does the work. The cream separator does away with another tedious task and the milkmaid has been supplanted by the mechanical milker.
 Men in factories are manufacturing appli- ances that make farming easier. It follows that larger farm production is gained with a smaller outlay of labor.
 For like reason, while there are more women in industry, homes are as well cared for now as ever because the bulk of what homes need is manufactured or gathered and sold in stores at less cost than the housewife could produce it.

VAMPS OF MODERN vINLAND

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Obert Slettin, Norwegian consul at Boston, has rediscovered the Vinland of Jeff Ericsson as very wicked place. Boston has statue of Lief. At the junction of Stony brook and the Charles river is the Norumbega memorial tower of Prof. E. N. Horsford who was sure the adopted Norwegians from Iceland ran up the Charles river more than 900 years ago. According to the Ericssaga, Vinland, wherever it may have been, had large numbers of wild beasts in the forests, wild grapes everywhere, and "self-sown wheat fields" These beasts were never classified. So far as we know there were no vapps among them.
 Obert Slettn has doubtless noted that the wheat feds have disappeared-certainly that vines are not encouraged in land that has no use for Vinland. But he also finds that vamps have so multiplied that the section is wholly unsafe for young Norwegians
 Norway has some 50 students in Harvard, the New England Conservatory of Music and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology One of thes students, Otto Haldor Larsen, re- gently committed suicide, apparently by agree ment with a young women who also killed her self. To such risks the other young men must not be subjected longer. Consul Slettin ex- plains: ~
 Boston is the road to hell for young stu. dents. The student life of Paris and Berlin is notorious, but those cities have nothing that can compare with the American vamp."
 That is why Consul Slettin is now in New York in consultation with Norways consul general as to the quickest way of transferring the 50 collegians to other cities in America, where the peril, if still in evidence, will be very much less. We suppose Yale and New Haven have been considered; probably Coium- bia and New York, Brown and Rhode Island. Rhode Island also claims to be Vinland. The choice is wide one, ranging from Atlanta to

THE HOUSE OF SCHIFF
By Arthur Brisbane.

By ATthur brISDaHt,
 The city of Frankfort will name principal street for Jacob H. Schiff, born there The Jewish telegraphic agency says the Schifs, with longer recorded lineage than any other living Jewish family, have lived in Frankfort since the fourteenth century
 That takes them back the time when the original Hohenzollern was thriving as money lender in East Prussia, a small unim- portant nobody.
 Look at the Hohenzollerns now, crushed and down, and the Schiffs still going strong, with money in the bank. This ought to teach some German junkers to revise their views of Jewish inferioritY.

THE PRoDIGAL's RELIGION

If you had seen him, there in that far country pending his substance in riotous living, aould probably have said that he had ao scigion. Doubtless he was a gambler and drunkard and lbertne at times. Doubtless he had thrown away every restraint he had known in his fathers house, but there was one thing he could not throw away, and that thing ultimately saved him. It was the memory of home. Beyond a doubt it was with him in his widest mo- ments. He pushed it aside as an unwelcome thought which clouded his new horizon. It would come to him when he raised the cup to his lips, and he drowned it in drink. It would come to him as he staked his fathers gifts on the turn of the dice, and he sought to forget it in wilder hazard. It came TO him at last when he was down and out; when the world of pleasure had cast him aside, and he had naught left with which to fight it. It came to him--this thought of home-and mastered him, and crushed the last vestige of resistance, and carried him out, barefoot and broken, across the very desert he had traversed in glad expectation, and laid him, penitent and forgiven, at his fathers feet. The memory'of home was all the religion he had, but it sufficed.
 Oh, the prodigals of today! You find them everywhere in the counting house and fac tory; in field and mine; in church and jail. Some of them wear stripes and toll on the roads or beneath the coal-seamed hills, Some of them wear purple, and direct the earthly destinies of men, but wherever you find them, they have wandered far. Once they believed in God-but the world shut Him out. Once they believed in right and wrong, but now they profess the gospel of expediency. Once they believed in future life for which this life preparation, but now they drink the cup of life to the dregs, nor hope for anything more. And the mem- ory of the day when faith was clear and life was clean comes back to them again and again, and they push it away as a dream that is troublesome, because it is too bright and alluriHg--and impossible. But it comes back again and again and takes all the joy out of sin, and at last they face the alter native of death with the swine or life with God. And God is on the other side of the desert of struggle and sacrifice.
 Just the memory of home! of father whose old-fashioned religion we now see to have been wisdom of father whose disci- . pline we now know to have been love; of mother at whose knees we knelt in simple child-like faith and of faith, which showed us God in all the simple things of life. The memory of these things which we have lost may not seem to be much. It may not save us from the anger of the elder brothers who have found the fathers house place of profitable comfort, but it will bring us home at last to God with sense of His tenderness and pity which the older brother will never know

SPRING LOSES HER VOICE

On the day of the vernal equinox joker having in, mind the anticipated revival of business ad vised clerk that some one had called for him from Spring 1922" He called and found that the message was hoax. The jest spread until it seriously interfered with the business of the telephone company and of the firm listed under that number. There were so many calls that Spring at last refused to let her voice be heard

N MOTHER Alabama primary election N\ is about to be staged. G S Candidates are announcing pell- mell for state and county offices
 Some one or more of these candidates never thought about running for office until the last week or two. Within that time some "bigt man" approached him and suggested that he become candidate. Said big man had dozen or so mediocre men approach him and pat him on the back and tell him of the makings brain.. He likewise told him of the weakness of the other man.
 It is the same old game of politics The man who has an ax to grind puts out likely ax for him.
 It reminds me of dear old gentleman in Georgia who once wanted to go to the United States Senate It was in the days when the state legislature elected senator's
 He looked over the state carefully and se- lected 'likely young man" in each county who had political ambitions. Delicatey he communicated with each one of them and di- rectly or indirectly aided them financially or otherwise, in their political contests to be legis- lators.
 The dear old gentleman became senator. He made good one, and died in harness soon thereafter.
