THE FLASH OF GENIUS From the Montreal Gazette.


 In Scotland there is told story of one Sandy Mcintosh, who started to build a small outhouse of brick. After the usual plan of bricklayers, he worked from the inside, and, as he had the material close beside him, the walls were rising fast when noon arrived, and with it his son, John, who brought his fathers 5 dinner.
 With honest pride in his eye, Sandy looked at John over the wall on which he was engaged. and asked:
 How do you think I am gettin' on?"
 Fine, fathers but how dae ye get cot? You've forgot the door,"
 One glance around him showed Sandy that his son was right; but, looking at him kindly, he said:
 "Oh, but ye've got . grand held on ye, John! Ye'll be an architect yet, as sure's yer feyther's . hssilda-w

COLLEGE WOMEN

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 We all know the sort of man who when he is asked to contribute to good cause sends instead an irascible letter explaining why nothing on earth would induce him to assist what he detests so heartily and then passing on to an excoriation of the particular altru- ism and all who are concerned in it. Some times the caustic diatribe is based on an un- happy personal experience and sometimes t rfoceeds from case of megrims or from chronic misanthropy. But the writer saves his money, though he loses his temper and somebody else foots the bill or shoulders the load in his place.
 A college in Brooklyn has received from a successful manufacturer a letter of the kind described It is college for the higher edu- cation of women... Out of the envelope, in ste~d of check toward a new building, these words tumble: If had my way, would burn all the women's colleges in the country" Why? Because, saith the de- ponent, the young women of our colleges smoke, use slang, swagger and display brazen manners, use paint, powder and lip sticks, wear high-heeled shoes and immodest raiment. They graduate with minds "twisted' by "a lot of stuff" which "coud have been concocted only in the diseased brains of college professors They ought to be set at hard manual labor for year, to drum some sene into their heads.
 Does he know nothing of the work of col lege women in the creation of refined homes, the devout and careful training of children the invaluable aid to men in business, the teaching in thousands of schools and all the varieties of social service and hospital ad- ministration, as well as the immense activity of the churches? Wherever feminine in fluence counts, the college woman is found taking her place, and glad to. put what she knows at the disposal of all. She is not supercilious or conceited. She is a learner still Her college education has taught her to share her advantages and to give back to society the bleasina. sha has received

SPAGHETTI FOR ITALY

From the Lowell Courier-Citizen.
 Shipping American, spaghetti to Italy sounds like coals to Newcastle. It's being done, and is making q morsel for paragraphers. Still, there's nothing so remarkable about it when you remember that for years past the durum and other hard wheats of western Kansas and Ne braska have been raised to consid- erable extent with the Italian mar ket in view. One of our really big national stories is the progressive adaptation to our semi-arid soil of drouth- resisting grains such n in Italy are regarded as both dsli- cacy and . necessity of iif~

NOVELS OF 1922 NOT so GOOD William Lyon Phelps, in Scribner's
 Mauazipa

Magazine.
 The year 1922 has not been so good a year for novels as 1920 and 1921. Although the first half of the book is the authors best, as a whole "This Freedom" is inferior to If Winter Comes;" Booth Tar kington must know as well as any body that Gentle Julia" is not to be compared with "Alice Adams ? Edith Wbarton's "The Glimpses of the Moon"' looks almost cheap when placed by "The Age of Innocence"; Mrs. Burnett's Robin" is a disap- pointing sequel to "The Head of the House of Coombs;" Wells "The Se- cret Places of the Heart" is neg ligible; Marshall's Big Peter" will not please the lovers of the Clinton family.
 The best American novel of the year is "Adrienne Toner" by Anne Douglass Sedewick.
 am glad to see that at last Eng land is waking up to the fact that they have ans important novelist in Archibald Marshall. whose works have been widely appreciated in America for the last seven years.

To a Little Boy

a Littid noY c. T. Davis, in the Arkansas Gazette. "To ride, shoot straight and speak the

 This was the ancient Law for Youth, Old times are past, old days are done; But the law runs true-O little son! To ride-whatever the mount may be- Power or sorrow, fame, tragedy Master the thing lest 1t master you. Ride when the going is fair and plain With velvet touch on the snaffle rein, Yet vigiIant always; watch and guard When need be, ride on the curb---ride hard Whatever mishap or grief betide, Firm handed, sure seated, fearlessly-ride! I! Shoot straight-know that you shall not

 How at glance should the sights be lined. Study the terraine and feel out the range. Brace to the shock with steady stance Carefully, carefully; ware mischance- At the flight of the venomous indirect word Swing on the quarter and lead your bird. At the charge of the flamingly base desire, Hold low and fire! Hold low and fire! And speak the truth-and here is writ The heart of the lay. Cleave close to it. Guard it and cherish and hold it high. Worth on a lie no more may stand Than the house that was builded upon the

Money and Misrations

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The Negro Welfare association at Cleveland reports that ano,ner ne- gro migration northward is unoer way at this time. It is estimated that half million negroes have left the south for northern indus trial centers since 1914. That is not as many as we have been led to suppose had gone. But most of them have remained away. The prospect of easier money, shorter working hours and a better time is the cause of the movement of ne- test in it. Nor do we believe there is so much of political protest behind the movement of Europeans to America in recent years as our poets and orators have caused most people to think. Mony is
 the prime cause. It made the southerner after the War Be- tween the States sell his farm, pack up and. go west. It makes the artisan, fhel physician and the lawyer go from one city to another. Why should we quafrel with the impulse? Why should we question the idealism of the man who wishes to go where he can make the most money and do most with his family? The quest for money is bringing the investor, the builder to the south even as it is taking many of our young white people away. We are getting new people all the time in the south, people who are coming to take the places of those that have left, or who are looking for bigger oppor- tunities. Redistribution of popula- tion has gone on continuously since the beginning. It will not cease now,

The Kilby Administration

From the Andalusia Star.
 Governor Kilby's administration is being commented upon by Atticus Mullin in the Montgomery Adver- tiser. These articles are very in- structive as they throw light upon every department of the state ad- ministration and give the people insight to the manner in which thelr affairs are being conducted. During the -four years of the Kilby admin istration $48. 100000 has been ex-r pended. Of this amount less than one-tenth has been spent in admin istering the affairs of the state. That is good record. Still Ala bama is woefully behind in school and road improvement. The next four years should show a marked increase in school appropriations and in the mileage of permanent roads constructed in Alabama.

Football Material !.

About 5000 Bessemer people witnessed the football game staged in Bessemer Thanksgiving morning between the Tuscaloosa High school and the local school" said c. w.. Nixon, superintendent of the Gen. tral Foundry company. .The game was terribly one-sided, as the local boys played rings around the vis- itors and ran up an enormous score. For a number of years the Besse- mer High has produced splendid football players, and they have given some of the best material to the university and Auburn. It seems the natural consequence for a hero from this team to make the varsity at college.

"The northern part of the state is suffering great inconvenience from the prolonged drouth," said Col. T. T. Ashford, recently returned from few days stay at his summer home, "The Plantation" in Madison county.
 "The water shortage is more acute than in many years; wells and springs that have been flowing for years have gone dry and in many in stances people have had to haul water in barrels distance of two or three miles.
 "A heavy rainpour would be a blessing to that section of the state, and from what hear, in other parts of the state as well"

"As Christmas is rapidly ap- preaching, just about three weeks off, in fact, I desire again to urge those who are contemplating send ing Christmas packages by mail to deposit them at the post office as early as possible" said Postmaster R. B. Smyer.
 "The business at the Birming- ham post office is growing every year, and at the best there will be some congestion during the holiday season, but this can be greatly modi- fled if patrons will mail their Christ mas gifts early.
 p. Then again, it is necessary that parcel post packages be properly and securely wrapped. A little care and time in the preparation of the package may save loss by breakage or damage. Mail early, mail now"

JUST REGULAR CROWD

Birmingham is wonderful city, is an expression that I have heard quite often from numerous out-of- town people upon their arrival here," said Thomas Christian, assis- tant chief of police, "but it was up to an old farmer from a country town in south Alabama that came up to my office to express the big ness of this city in manner en- tirely different from the everyday expression.
 He was ushered into my office one Saturday afternoon while 1 was out; however, he waited until l re turned. Our conversation lasted until nightfall, and when he arose from his chair he glanced out of the south window overlooking Third avenue and Nineteenth street. He gazed at the intersection for sev- eral moments in somewhat per plexed manner and turned to me and said, Chief, there's a big fight going on at the corner. look at the crowd of people, I replied that there was no fight there, but the crowd was typical of every Saturday night crowds"
