MIRE IS NEVER TOO DEEP FOR
 THE SALVATION ARMY

The Salvation Army has asked Birmingham for $20,000, and it is not proving the easiest thing in the world to raise that comparatively small amount of money. That is reflection on Birmingham. Surely, it cannot be due to igno- rance of what the Salvation Army is doing in a field that is peculiarly it's own7
 In spite of the great organized charities o1 today, and all kinds of welfare departments some of the highly efficient and useful, the Salvation Army is indispensable, and 1t has the reputation of doing more good with less money than any other organization in the world.
 No human being is deemed unworthy of the Salvation Armys help. It specializes in derelicts, in societys outcasts. Abandoned wretches appeal to the Salvation Army who would not ask help from any other source, because they feel sure of a sympathetic re- sponse.
 The Salvation Army deserves the support of >Birminghams people.

THE REVOLT OF THE cLARENcEs

From the St. Lotus Post-Dlspatch.
 The Clarences have rushed to arms over the proclamation of their honorable name in vaude- vile and funny sheet. Recruiting of an inter- national organization started by Clarence Mas sey in Cleveland has spread to other cities It is reported that the movement will be joined by the Algernons, Percivals and Llewellyns, with a possibility of it's spreading to the Harolds, the Perleys, the Carols, Beryls and Vivans.
 The bearers of these names, which have fal- len alike on the just and the unjust, the fragile and the burley, the tobacco chewers and the perfume sprayers, have long been entitled to re- taliatory violence of one sort or another, but they must admit that said names, detached from their bearers, are not necessarily inspiring to the heroic imagination. The fastening of these labels on two-fisted, manly men is but testi- mony that these men began like the rest of us in infancy, but that fond mammas very pardon ably failed to realize that their sons would one day grow to the stature of manhood.
 Such is the case, and the Clarences and Al gernons may make of it what they please. That there is nothing in name we may all admit nothing, that is, but the name itself.

GRATEFUL FOR GIFT

"The gift of $50,00o to the state univer- sity by Col L. B. Musgrove of Jasper is one for which every citizen in Alabama should feel grateful" said Col. A. M. Garber, who is taking a prominent part in the universty's bama must supply the money for new buildings at the state university if it's doors are to be kept open to all who wish to enter, and Colonel Musgrove heads the list of contributors to this most worthy cause. The entire state and many of it's young men and women will benefit from his generosity. Men of his type who use their wealth in the service of humanity have erected monuments to their memory which time cannot destroy"

THE BANK BANDIT, 1921 MODEL

From the Scientific American.
 But still more interesting, as result of the invention and introduction of the screw-door safe, is the revival of bank banditry, which was originated by such robbers as the Jameses, just after the Civil war, and was driven out by the telegraph and the railroad twenty years later. And phase of this restoration that will interest inventors is the belated adoption of the automobile by criminals of this class.
 Many old yeggs, unable to combat the screw door safes, have tossed away their rubber bottles of nitro and picked up the bandits re- volver. But, unlike their notorious forebears, they do not go after country banks and ride to cover in the wilderness of the hills and forests on horseback. Instead they raid the banks of cities, even those of New York it. self Gas in the Hamby case in Brooklyn, three years ago), and dash to the cover of urban jungles in motor cars.
 Two representative cases will show the significant aspects of this mutation. In De- troit not long ago gang of ex-yeggs painted up motor car in faithful imitation of the official police cars, which are allowed the right of way over all traffic. They mounted an official police signal whistle on their counter felt car, dressed one of their number in policemans uniform and drove to bank in the heart of the business section. Here three men got out, walked into the bank, levelled revolvers at the officials, swept a big haul of cash and bonds into bag and ran out into the street. They sprang into the car and rushed through the streets with the police whistle footing on their dashboard and the traffic off cers all along the line of their retreat holding back the other vehicles to let the "police car'' flash past to the sum district of the city and immediate cover. This is but an elaboration of the plan used by Hamby in attacking the Brooklyn bank, when he hired a taxicab and kept it waiting with the engine running.
 The other case in point deals with bank at Sandy Springs, Maryland, which has been attacked five times by yeggs because of it's exposed position. After the first attack the bankers took such precautions that the noc- turnal burglars were driven off in four suc- ceeding raids. But more recently after the yeggs had turned to banditry, gang of them invaded the town in broad daylight, held up and robbed the bank, killed an official who had offered resistance and escaped with their loot Later some of the bandits were caught and sent to prison for life.
 Apparently, for the time being, the burglar has been stopped by inventions too strong for any tools now at his command. He has gone back to the primitive tactics of his ancestors until further inventions let him take the field again with new technique.

FIvE-cENT CIGAR IS BACK

"The 5-cent cigar which seems to have made famous politician immortal, is coming back into it's own," said R. D. Burnett, local cigar brands of 5-cent cigars than ever in the his- tory of the cigar factory. The majority of these brands are fly-by-night brands, so to speak, and their existence is limited However, there are few brands that are really worth while, and these will stay on the market A few manufacturers seem to have realized the importance of putting really good cigar on the market at 5 cents, and as result several of the 5-cent brands on the market today are made of good tobacco and are fit to smoke"

MY FAVORITE STORIES
THE DECEASED HAD BEEN FoREHANDEI
By IRWIN s. COBB

In the sprnig of 1919-a few months after the eighteenth amendment went into effect-a Texan passed from this life.
 While the funeral services were in progress at the late home of the deceased, two of the men mourners stood on the front porch of the house amenting the passing of their friend and praising his virtues
 Said one of them:
 "There wasn't no finer feller anywhere than what Bill was, but the main trouble with him was he wasn't forehanded. He had wife and a whole passel of children and he should a-been more saving than what he was. He might a-knowed he couldn't live onforever. But no, he lived up to everything he made. And here now, right in the very prime of life, with fam fly on his hands, he hauls off and dies without leaving no estate as knows of"

THIS IS A GOOD ONE

Speaking of fish stories," said H. H. Fuller of the Fuller Distributing company, T have one myself to tell. Ordinarily don't take much stock in fish stories, but after my experience few weeks ago have been inclined to lis- ten more patiently to the other fellows tale While in Jacksonville I heard for the first time about the east coast crawfish, and made it my business to look one of them up, to verify the stories I had heard about it's enormous size. We'll, it wasn't as long as you reach, as the descriptions go in most fish stories, but on my word the smallest east coast crawfish weighs six pounds. When it is split open on dish it looks as big as turkey"

SECTIONAL. PREJUDICE IN MONTGOMERY

The Roosevelt memorial tree planted on the lawn of the state capitol in Montgomery py Toy Scouts was moved by unknown persons Friday night. This tree had led to a contio- versy between Governor Kilby and some of the good ladies of Montgomery who objected to its presence on the capitol grounds The gover- nor quite sensibly replied that he would not order the tree moved, but would grant permis- sion to the Boy Scouts to plant it somewhere else, if they so desired.
 A typewritten note, found by the night watch man at the capitol read: gro All Concerned: The Daughters of the Confederacy are our mothers (war mothers) and this is the south. There are no trees in honor of southern gen. tlemen in the capitol yard at Washington, and our war mothers do not want this one here."
 Here is another example of making moun- tain out of mole hill What earthly harm would it do at this late day to plant me- morial tree in honor of President of the United States on southern soil, even in the birthplace of the Confectionery? Are there still people in the south who don't realize that we all live under one flag and pay allegiance to one flag?
 Such examples of antiquated sectionalism don't reflect any credit on the Lost Cause" They simply invite ridicule. Those gallant Confederate leaders who are dead and gone would be among the first to object to sec- tional prejudice of this sort, particularly in the case of man who had nothing whatever to do with the Civil war and was no enemy to the south. Apparently the only objection to Roosevelt is the fact that he was northern man.

ASSEMBLING BASIN AT TAYLOR'S FERRY

One of the forward steps taken by the man. agement of the Warrior section of the Missis- sippi-W Warrior federal barge line system is the establishment of what might be termed switch ing yards at Taylors Ferry, at the Junction of the Mulberry and Locust forks of the Warrior. At that point the river is about a third of mile wide and is really a lake with ample as- semblage and turning space.
 Vessels carrying barges between the up- per Warrior and Mobile will go no further north than Taylor's Ferry. They will deliver and receive barges there. The Scott, secured for that purpose, will convey barges between Cordova and the Port of Birmingham, and the assembling point at Taylors Ferry as a switch engine serves in railroad yard. The trunk line vessels will save much time by talk ing on loads at Taylor's Ferry, and that means reduction of overhead expense.
 Demands the transportation facilities of the Warrior far and beyond the equip ment, as merchants of Alabama and parts of Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee have real fixed the advantages of this low freight rate connection with the port of Mobile It has been shown that Alabama needs the Warrior and needs that much more the port of Mobile, which is the Warriors gateway to the world.

TELEPHONE NEEDED HERE

Smyer, "but all that can say in the matter is that have not any control over the insealla- ton. When the booth was built to provide for telephone, it seemed that the telephone company surmised that the erecting of pub lis telephone in the lobby would not justify the expenditure. As result none has as yet been installed. However, I believe that if telephone was placed in the booth on the first floor it would be appreciated by the people and would bring us relief

FORMER FOES TRIBUTE TO DAVIS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The Advertiser has read with lively interest and warm appreciation the most recent book on Jefferson Davis, story of his life and per sonalty" The biography is written by Morris Schaff, New England democrat, West Point man and distinguished Union soldier He was with the Army of the Potomac throughout the war, and at the Battle of the Wilderness was breveted for gallant and meritorious serv- ices" If such man as this elect to express his love for the south, his sympathetic under standing of the southern point of view in 1861, and, above all, his cordial admiration for Jef- ferson Davis, who will say him nay2 His deyo- tion to the cause of the federal government in '61 cannot be questioned, nor yet his good faith in speaking well of former foes. MT. Schaff is by no means an amateur writer. He has published numerous books, among them, be- sides the latest, being "The Spirit of Old West Point" and the Sunset of the Confectionery" In his Davis book he takes pains to emphasize the long and distinguished service which the Mississippian had rendered the Stars and Stripes before the break came in 1861. He had served as young lieutenant in the Black Hawk war; in which Lincoln also participated; he had earned the encomium, "hero of Monterey and Buena Vista" He had been great congress man and senator, distinguished soldier and one of the greatest secretaries of war that ever sat in the cabinet long before . messenger, vending his way from Montgomery to Brierfield plantation, found the senator working in his beloved and beautiful rose garden and notified him that the delegates from the seeding states to the Montgomery convention had chosen him for the presidency of the Confederate states. Throughout the rapid story of the author we see Davis as the man of many sor- rows. His first bride Ca daughter of President Zachary Taylor) died and left him bereft and disconsolate. The next few years he spent in the home of brother, where he buried himself in books. His left eye became infected and slowly lost it's sight, after little suffering to him. At times he suffered serious illnesses, though he was not fral man. In Mexico he was painfully wounded in the ankle and walked on crutches for two years. Davis was execrated by the politicians and editors of the north, who gave him no peace even after surrender. Meantime he stood disfranchised as a citizen. Man of sorrows indeed. In truth, what American leader of any cause has ever drunk so deeply of the bitter cup as Jefferson Davis?

"Oh, yes," said Charles A. Moffett, president of the Gulf States Steel company, who is just back from the east. "I know all about the dengue and I caught it at the most inopportune time. I realized I had it way up in Canada. I must have taken the germs along with me, and it has been three weeks, and still they have a cinging way about them. I fully intended staying through the annual meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute in New York, but had to give it up after few hours and came on home. Home never seemed any sweeter."

ing that the war might spread to the Balkan states and involve all Europe made terms with the victorious Turks. When that happened Sultan Mohammed knew that his hour had struck. He was mere figurehead maintained in Constantinople under the watchful eyes of the allied governments, without vestige of power and not much influence.
 It remains to be whether these devel- opments will cause complications in the Turkish problem, but the nationalists assembly at Angora was merely acting in the spirit of the times when it abolished the sultanate and proclaimed that the sovereign rights of the Turkish state are invested in the assembly. That sounds like genuine democracy, and it shows how much the Turks have been affected by the political ideas which were given new impetus by the World war.
 The Turks will continue to have a caliph but he will not rule by divine right. He will be chosen by the grand national assembly ana will be member of the imperial family, the Osman dynasty, who is best fitted for the job. He will be stripped of all temporal power
 The nationalists charge that the sublime porte conspired with their enemies That is probably true, but the Sultan was in posi- tion where he had to take orders from the al- lied governments or face the consequences The Constantinople government did not repre- sent the Turkish people. It was an anomaly with the nationalists thanks to their military successes, have been able to abolish.

OF WHAT DOES REAL WAR
 STRENGTH CONSIST?

The statement of Admiral William s. Sims, recently retired, that America was not prepared for war in 1917, is no better prepared today and never will be prepared under the present organization plans, may be true as regards a huge army and navy ready for battle. How ever, that kind of preparedness has not always won wars. It is what is back of armaments that does it, the spirit of which, when aroused by just cause, puts forth supreme effort. Unprepared or not, the United States con- tributed large share to the winning of the World war, and that war was the sooner won on account of the realization by Germany and Austria of the spirit behind the American sol diers and sailors. It is historic fact that the decline of Rome began when her professional soldier army was largest and apparently most invincible, and she was strongest when her soi- diers alternated between the blow and the sword.
 Britain was not prepared, but the spirit of Britain was ready. Belgium was not prepared, but held back the first onrush of the imperial German legions with smaller force endowed with the strength of an indomitable patriotism. A poverty-stricken mother in Minneapolis stole to provide food for her 12-year-old boy. Lured by reward of $5 he betrayed her. By permitting that promising youngster to starve the state might be spared the trouble and ex- pense of hanging him later on.
