BIRMINGHAM'S NON-JEWISH
 CITIZENS HAVE A DUTY

The Gentiles of Birmingham owe debt to their Jewish friends. The obligations they have incurred in the past through the liberal tributions given to many Gentle causes by Jews and the hard work done by them in patri- otic, philanthropc and civic undertakings, are many and varied, but there is one debt which can and must be paid promptly.
 The non-Jewish residents of Birmingham will be asked to donate $50,o00 for the completion of the building being erected by the Young Mems Hebrew association. This is not only cause which we should feel it privilege and duty to support, but pledge has been made which the Gentiles cannot afford to re- pudiate. When the plan for erecting building for the Young Mems Hebrew association was first announced representative non-Jewsh bus- ness men of Birmingham held meeting and promised to match the funds raised by the Jews, dollar for dollar The Jews have raised $65,000 and work has been started on the building The Gentiles of Birmingham are asked to give s5o,O00, which will insure handsome struc- ture that will be credit to the city and will give the Young Mems Hebrew association ado- quate quarters
 There will not be prolonged campaign. Two days will be devoted to raising this money among the non-Jewish residents of Birmingham, January 16 and IT. Time and again the Jews have rallied to the support of the Gentiles of this city, giving their time and money to prof ects from which they did not directly derive benefit. They helped to build the Young Mems Christian association building, they have workedfor and donated generously to the Rcd Cross. They have never been found wanting, no matter what the claim made on their purses and their sympathies. The non-Jewish people of Birmingham must act in the same spirit. Let us show Jewish friends and neighbors that we are willing to help them as they have helped us. The Age-Herald hopes every dollar of the $5O,ooo will be quickly raised.

 There is unfortunate phase of the Dali Eireann debate. The division indicated there may lead to internecne strife in Ireland. DeValera and his faction are sorely, dscom- fitted, but surely the Irish people will not be so mad as to substitute civil war among them selves for rebellion against England.

PRAYED FOR DOLL

"One of the most appreciative people receiv- ing attention from the welfare department girl eight years old who wanted doll and received it Christmas" said Mrs. s. w.. Martin of the city welfare department. "This child had no doll and was playing with brick wrapped up and every night before going to bed she would pray for doll that would go to sleep. This fact called to attention and we succeeded in getting the doll for her and have never seen a happier child that this one was.
 "Now we are trying to get her some shoes as she needs them very badly and we feel sure that the people of Birmingham who have chil- dren near her age who have old shoes that they are mot going to will be glad to give them. We also are anxious to get an overcoat for an old man who badly needs it. In fact, we have numerous calls every day for clothing and shoes for children, and if any having these they will donate will notify us will send for them.'

Theodore Dreiser, writing in the Bookman, recounts his youthful experiences a reporter in St. Louis. One of his assignments was an interview with John L. Sullivan:
 'Aw, haw! haw haw!' I can hear him even now when I asked him my favorite question about life, his plans the value of exercise CD i, etc.
 He wants to know about exercise! Yuh'r all right, young fella, kinda slim, but you'll do. Sit down and have some champagne. Have a cigar. Give i'm some cigars, George. These young newspaper men are all right to me. I'm for em. Exercise? What I think? Hawl Hawl Write any damned thing yuh please, young fella, and say that John L. Sullivan said so. That's good enough for me. If they don't be- lieve it bring it back here and I'll sign it for yuh. But know it'll be all right, and won't stop to read it neither. That suit yuh? Well, all right.

TRIP OF INTEREST TO CITY

"The real object of our tour is of direct interest and benefit to every person in Alabama and it is of special interest to the people in Birmingham where large quantities of farm products are being shipped in and sold, paying heavy freight charges because the farmers, until recently unorganized, have not been able to standardize and market their crops in such condition as to make them acceptable to the Birmingham consumers" said Charles w. Rit- tenour in speaking of the farm bureau excursion to Texas.
 "The importance of this was illustrated by hay which Birmingham consumes to the extent of about 4 ,000 tons each month, having it shipped in from Montana, Colorado, Utah. Kansas Me- braska and other western states and paying on the average about $15 per ton more freight than it would cost from the hay producing sec tions of Alabama where excellent hay can be raised and has been raised, but not properly graded and marketed. In addition to saving the Birmingham consumers literally thousands of dollars the money spent for hay would go to Alabama farmers and again find it's way into the Birmingham trade channels and thereby benefit all"

DAHL EIREANN RATIFIES ANCLO-IRISH TREATY

The Irish Free State is at last reality. After a prolonged and bitter fight the Dail Eireann ratified the treaty with England late yesterday by vote of GA to 57. Common sense won the battle. The stubborn, narrow-minded policy of DeValera went down in defeat, carrying him along with it, since he resigned as President of the Irish republic.
 There can be only one opinion among un- prejudiced observers of the memorable struggle for Irish freedom regarding the decision reached by the Dali yesterday. It was vic tory for that considerable part of the Irish people who realize that the only way to peace and prosperity for them and their country lies in friendly partnership with the British con,- professional Irishman, who have done much to create discord and retard a settlement of the Irish question for centuries past, have been repudiated.
 It is unfortunate that the vote was not larger in favor of ratification, but the treaty was approved and that, after all, is the main thing. The gallant struggle made in the Dail by Michael Collins and other leaders who sup ported the treaty proves them to be men of courage and vision and the type of patriots who want to do what is best for their country, instead of quibbling over technicalities and holding out for something that cannot be ob- tained either by diplomacy force.

KING ALFONSO

From the Washington Star.
 The Spanish embassy denies the report that King Alfonso is contemplating visit to the United States.
 The report has been received with much respect in this country. The Spanish sovereign is much admired for both his personal and kingly bearing. He is a man of high courage, and farward-looking ruler. His manners are unaffected, and his tastes democratic, and the course he has steered at home in pre-war and in postwar domestic difficulties show that ne possesses statesmanlke resources It has not been easy task to keep Spain on an even keel.
 Our differences with Spain have long been settled, and well settled. The Cuban story is an old story. Spain has not felt the loss of the island, the island has gained in tranquility and productiveness under her own flag, while we have felt the easier as the result of the removal southern border
 Since the war our relations with Spain have been workable and cordial The progress she has made has been agreeable to us, and there is reason to believe that our progress has been agreeable to her.
 Spain has made unsuccessful shy or two at a republican form of government, and may monarchial form, she could not well improve on the man who is now directing her affairs. He wears the crown without perceptbe uneasi- ness, and with an evident liking for that style of ''lid."

ANTICIPATES GOOD ROADS

with the date for the election on the $3,000, 900 county bond issue only short time off, citizens of the county should get behind it and help to carry the issue," said A. A. Vines yesterday. "We cannot have too many good roads and the $2,O00,O0Q worth of county road improvement bonds carrying six per cent inter- est, which will be made available if the election carries, will aid materially in the building of new roads in the county and the repair of old ones
 "Some of the roads in Jefferson county are badly in need of repairs and funds for their repair should be made available as soon as pos sible. Good roads are one of the best ways of stimulating business, especially the commerce between city and country districts, and we cannot have too many of them.
 I think the board of revenue is also wise in asking the voters to allow $1,000,000 of the proposed issue to be applied to the existing debts of the county this will serve to mate rially relieve the strained financial condition now existing"
