LARGE SALES MADE OF BIRMINGHAM IRON

Western steel makers have come into the Bir- ningham district for 30,000 tons of basic iron for use in their mills. There is likelihood that much more of this tonnage will be placed here if the coal strike continues and iron pro- duction in the affected districts is further n- convenienced.
 Orders for basic iron are especially appre- ciated because they lead to increased furnace productio min Alabama without interfering with the foundry iron market.
 This tonnage has been booked simultaneously with large orders for foundry iron. Three or four manufacturers are so well supplied with orders through July and even into August that they are out of the market for further third quarter business.
 The placing of an order for 50,000 tons of foundry iron with the Tennessee company by the United States Pipe company for Alabama plants is based on the large business of that concern, among other items being 9,000-ton order for water pipe for Atlanta. This is next to the largest single pig iron order placed this year.
 The Birmingham pig iron market is alto gether as firm in price and active in demand as is good for it. Makers are not inclined to welcome a runaway market.

 The Age-Herald has long admired and es- teemed MT. Oliver. He is one of the most eeni- potent and sealous members of Congress and enjoys the deserved respect of his colleagues. It has no desire to present him in an unfavor- able light, but he must admit that even If he did not accuse newspapers of being unduly in- fluenced by the war department In the form of Subsidy" the insinuation that prepared editorials were being sent out and published a reflection on the press.
 One of the criticisms in the editorial which seems to have grieved MT. Oliver was that members of Congress were given to making &C., cusations based on hearsay, when they ought to be of their facts. MT. Oliver says he has reliable information" We don't question his sincerity, but reliable informationi in Wash ington often means what someone else has said and it is not always trustworthy.
 It is quite probable that army officers have been active In trying to create public senti- ment favorable to matters in which they are interested, but no reputable newspaper per mits outsiders to write it's editorials. That is one of the fundamentals of honest journalism.

HOSPITAL WILL BE OPEN

"The Birmingham Baptist hospital is ex- pecting to entertain large number of visitors during the exercises to be held at the hos pital on May 12, in honor of National Hospital Day. said Dr. James M. Long, superintendent of the hospital.
 "The hospital will be open to visitors during the afternoon from 2 until o'clock, and in the evening from S:30 until 10 80 o'clock. The graduation exercises of the hospital training school of nurses will take place in the evening.
 Many eminent officials throughout the country have heartily indorsed the celebration of this day in honor of two wonderful and rapid growth of hospital facilities. The day of May 12 was selected owing to the fact that it is the birth anniversary of Florence Nightin- gale, pioneer in modern hospital service.
 "The public is cordially invited to visit us on this occasion.'

Stars Responsibility
ais Lee Arms, in Leslie's Weekly.

LOUIS Lee ATIlS, III LeSlle s " eehly.
 What Hollywood wants to know is why a scandal within it's circles calls for such pains taking cerebration on the part of the press. Be- cause one banker robs are all bankers robbers, it asks. Granted Arbuckle a comedian, goes to trial, does it lessen the fact that Harold Lloyd another comedian is fine type of young as may be found in days journey?
 There is something to be said for this. It as suredly is unfair of anyone to judge a group of persons by the lowest among them. Several state legislatures, conspicuously successful financial houses, the American league and, in- deed, the American Legion, and the United States Senate, among other groups, would be embarrassed by such formula.
 The public, it has been my observation, is more critical of motion pictures than other in- stitutions. Perhaps this is as it should be. Mothers and fathers have to inquire of Hollywood's play hours and the manner of it's private life. No other institution so much in- fluences the younger generation the movies. No other group of individuals occupies an- alogous position in the eyes of the child
 It is taken for granted, in the of all other educational institutions, that the morality of the preceptor or preceptress shall be above reproach. Motion picture stars actually are  more important as teachers than mines. Thus upon their shoulders is placed responsi- bility that they may not have asked for but which they cannot evade.
 Charles Ray and Dick Barthemess in their private, as well as public, lives-as told by the press-are the Oliver Optics and Horatio Algers sof a pictorial age. Mary Piclford has it in her power to instruct more children than were ever reached by Little Women"
 In manners, clothes and morals these eel luloid artists impress the younger generation and are initiated by ito extent far beyond the power of the preacher or novelist. Graphic art, in all ages, has been the simplest form of expression. Here are hundreds of thousands of dramatic scenes, touching upon every point of contemporaneous life, that may be under stood by the most primitive intellect. Those who participate in these scenes are glorified by their publics.
 This finds no counterpart the speaking stage Broadly considered, that public which supports the speaking stage is older, more so- phisticated, less heterogeneous and far fewer in numbers than that to which the screen has made its appeal. The responsibility which the 'tspeakie" owes to his or her audience is hardly comparable to that which has been placed willy-nilly upon the shoulders of the celluloid star.

FARM BUREAU MARKETING

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 have seen several articles in your paper relative to the Farm bureau cooperative mar keting plan, and I should please like to say few words in defense of this organization.
 am just a farmer myself, and have "jined" almost everything that has ever come along, but it seems to me when we go into the Farm bureau cooperative marketing or ganization not going to be going in today and out tomorrow. Several of my neighbors tell me that is the very thing that makes it seem worth while to them. When we went into other organizations we could go in today and out tomorrow, making everything very indefinite.
 Another thing, I understand the Farm bu- reau is already larger than any other farmers organization that we have ever had, and is growing by leaps and bounds in 46 states.
 To come down to the cotton question, which the Farm bureau is working on now, am told that considerably more than 100000 farmers have signed up, and that they continuing to go into this organization in every cotton state. It seems to me perfectly reasonable that farm CTS should be able to get more for their cot ton if they can eliminate country damage, can 
 ton actually is. I understand southern cotton is usually undergraded one grade on the aver age, and that five or more middlemen usually handle our cotton with six or eight samples taken from each bale before it reaches the spinner.
 It seems reasonable to me that the cotton buyer could afford to pay more for cotton if he did not have to hire men to go out to gather it up for him, but rather where he could buy any quantity, however large, in short time where cotton can be placed before him in even running lots ready for immediate delivery.
 am told that this is the greatest cooperative marketing organization in the world and It seems that all of us farmers, small and large, would do well to consider this plan of market ing cotton. Very truly yours,
 THOMAS M. BELL.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
BOND ISSUES AND FUTURE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 The late lamented Sam Jones preixed some of his sermons by remarking
 "You Methodist brethren sit up in the amen corner and sing with loud voice about the sweet by and by, but what am going to preach about this morning is, The Nasty Now and Now"
 Right here want to denounce as an unfumi- fighting D. E. McLendon and public schools. Mr. MeLendon is my personal friend, and is the peer of any man who ever held office in this city, but like all former commissioners, he makes some mistakes
 Three years ago, in 1919, the city commits sion and board of education was storming and flooding the city with propaganda that if we, the people, would only vote them S3,000, ,0o0 for schools $500,000 for an auditorium, $500,- 900 for public library and city hall and $500- 900 for fire alarm system, all of our troubles would be over in 1920.
 Less than one short year this same gang was back begging again, putting out more excuses and propaganda got raise of mills to in- crease salaries of school teachers, and in less than two years behold here they are on sched- ule time again. this time asking for S7,000, 900 in bonds and additional tax of 3 mills for schools. "The more they come, the worse they get"
 Our people are clamorng for police protec- tion, for better streets and for better garbage system, for sanitary sewers, etc., but no relief, no money for,all these things.
 Just so long as we send over one-thrd of our tax money to New York for interest and appropriate the bulk of the remainder to schools, just so long will these deplorable con- ditions exist.
 As long as the people continue to vote non- taxable interest-bearing bonds for certain wealthy people to invest their money in and dodge taxes, just so long will the people groan under the load. Give literally to education but give it by direct taxation for schools not for interest bonds.
 Stop selling school bonds for 80 cents on the dollar; stop allowing half million dollars in school property to go up in smoke with only S40,000 insurance. If these bonds are voted Birmingham will send annually over $500, 900 to New York for interest alone.
 Why not keep this money at home and build schoolhouses with it?
 If you have not read Mr. McLendon's reply to the Junior Chamber of Commerce on this point, read it, and be sure and read Irwin Cobb's article front page of today's Age-Herald, entitled, "A Detail of Figures" They are both replete with wit and humor.

A FARMER WHO CAN AFFORD
 TO HOLD HIS COTTON

A Camden, s. O., planter recently wrote the Warrant Export and Discount corporation for information how to ship 150 bales of high grade cotton through the Birmingham firm. In his letter he said
 "The cotton is stored on my own plantation and I do not owe cent on it. do not have to borrow any money on my cotton and can afford to carry it, but would like to make the additional profit on it that your plan holds out"
 The planters letterhead fully explains why he does not have to borrow on his cotton. It reads: Registered Duroc-Jersey Hogs, Lumber Cordwood, Shingles, Cattle, Poultry, Corn Hay, Beans, Peas, Etc."
 It is not surprising that the cotton raised on the "Fairview Plantation is not distress" cotton, and that W. H. Kirkbride, the planter referred to, does not have to borrow any money on it, but is interested in the Birmingham plan only because it holds out the prospect of an additional proft.'
 This letter is primer in diversified farming No farmer will have distress" cotton who has the other products enabling him to hold it for a fair price.

APPoMATTOx'S APPLE TREE

From the New York Telegram.
 We have Grants own words for it that the story of the apple tree at Appomattox is one of those fictons which every war pro- duces. Usually based on a slight foundation of truth, people believe them because they want to.
 The surrender took place in the parlor of the Mclean farmhouse, not in the open air, and the two commanders did not meet under the tree. What paxt the latter played is de- scrbed by Grant as follows:
 There was apple orchard on the side of the hill occupied by the Confederate forces. Running diagonally up the hill was a wagon road, which at one point ran very near one of the trees, so that the wheels of vehicles had on that side cut off the roots of this tree, leaving little embankment. General Bab- cock, of my staff, reported to me that when he first met General Lee he was sitting upon this embankment with his feet in the road be- low and his back resting against the tree. The story had no other foundation than that Like many other stories, it would be very good if it were only true.
 Roscoe Conkling in nominating Grant at Chicago on June 6, 18S0 helped to crystalline the legend when he recited the lines:
 If you ask us whence candidate,
 Our sole reply shall be,
 He comes from Appomattox
 And it's famous apple tree.
 Trea ar no tree Appomattox will always

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
SPENDING A NIGHT WITH NATURE

Gee, we had fine trip, covering Saturday afternoon and night, at Queenstown lake, said Marshall Moses, Woodlawn High school boy. My buddy and myself rode out on our wheels, with blankets and camping outfit, and beat the heavy storm out by few minutes. We had to sleep in the bathing pavilion as the ground was too wet. Captain Seymour, who has charge of Queentown lake this season, made things as pleasant as he could.
 "We went in swimming several times, as boys will do, and caught few fish. And, say, but things cooked on camp stove taste all most as good as those mother makes-not quite There were number of picnic crowds at the resort, although the place does not open until Friday of this week. It's different from the town parks-away from the noise of the merry-go-round, street cars and other noises of the city, and the change does a fellow good after studying hard all week at school The katy-dids gave us concert that beat the new radio affairs now being broadcasted over the country through the air. In fact, Queenstown gives you all the thrills of the country, with a brush of city amusements-dancing, swim ming and good fishing"

WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTS FOR
 PEACE IN CHINA?

General Wu, called statesman and patriot, as well as a military leader, has succeeded in chasing General Chang, former bandit, away from Picking in the general direction of Man. churia. The fighting may not be over yet, but the defeat of Changs forces was disastrous and complete.
 Wu announces that he is not trying to make himself a military dictator of China, but wants to unify his distracted country, reconcile the political factions of the north and south, abolish militarism and cultivate friendly rela- tions with foreigners.
 If these are the policies of Wu, they cannot be commended too highly, but what then? China is in 8 worse plight than Russia, so far as gov ernment is concerned. What China needs more than anything else is "strong man" to put her house in order, but we don't know enough about General Wu to warrant the belief that he will be able to carry out his program. There are many enlightened Chinese, some of them educated in other countries, a few in the United States, who earnestly desire to see China  world, and by establishing stable government and ending civil war make it possible for China to free herself from foreign domination.
 China will continue to be helpless giant, subject to the exploitation of Japan and other nations, and torn by internal disorders, until peace is established among the warning fac tions and money is spent for the country's in- dustrial development instead of maintaining huge armies that fight among themselves. The situation in China resembles that in Mexico, where ambitious state governors, bandits and military leaders kept the country in turmoil until Obregon succeeded, by promises and bribes, in restoring semblance of tranquility.
 No nation can ever achieve it's destiny and enjoy real independence unless it is united country.

INCREASED TAX SMALL BURDEN

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There are many statements being made by opponents of the proposed bond issue that the average citizen is not able to confirm refute, but very practical help to me in deciding this question has been this this idea: take it that the assessed value of the property of the average workingman is $2,000 or less. On the basis of the $2,O00 assessment citizen now pays S73 taxes. The 3-mills additional tax will increase his burden approximately $6. The question for me as an average citizen is, can I afford to deprive my children and my neigh bors children of their rights to the best in edu- cational facilities? Time and again have known parents to go to several hundreds of dollars expense to send one boy or girl away to school. This SC additional tax will make it unnecessary for any of our people to send their children anywhere. We will have the best at home and in reach of everybody.
