AUGUST HARVEST WAS A BOUNTIFUL ONE

It was wonderful August. The summary of what that month brought to Birmingham and to Alabama in the way of new industries plant expansion, vindication of the districts capacity to care for itself under the most trying conditions and the assurance of continuous de- vslopment, should be satisfying to the most conservative and exacting.
 The list published in The Age-Herald on Triday included $5,ooo.ooo in development of the cement industry, $2o,Ooo, ,ooo in hydroelec- tricity, $75o,ooo in new cast iron pipe plant, | new structural steel mill, progress on the Tennessee companys merchant bar mill and steel foundry and the addition to the Ala bama By-Products company's plant, 100 new wpFkingmen's homes in Fairfield, 30 per cent increase in bank clearings, additional fur naces going in blast while they were going out ' ss :.s .. house and store building at the rate

LARGE ENROLMENT

"The Jacksonville Normal school is expect ing the largest enrolment in it's history this year." said Prof. L. J. Hendrix, who was ia Birmingham yesterday route to the school after short vacation.
 Indications that the facilities Of the institution will be taxed to meet the increasing number of students who are seeking admis- sion During the summer number of inn provements have been made in the buildings, and we believe we have splendid year ahead of us when school opens Tuesday.
 Special attention is being given to physical education at the normal school in order to meet the demand of the state high schools for teachers trained in such courses"

WHERE AMERICANS = AL
 AND OTHERS WIN

Why we fail to build up trade with other nations and Great Britain and Germany sue ceed is illustrated in an excerpt from an American consular report reading as follows:
 "The way American candy manufacturers are losing out down in Belize, British Hon. duras, is worrying consul at that place. High and low grade American candies, he reports, melt and run together within a hort time. British candies don't. The Americans don't bother about packing candies in air-tight con- tainers Some of the British candies keep for years in that climate without the slightest de- terioration.'
 The British will retain ,e candy business in Honduras because they found out what was necessary to prevent deterioration and pro- vided remedy The report says:
 Wears ago the British product used to 1,- teriorate rapidly, the as the American goods do now, so expert was sent down iron England to determine the causs, and after the submission of his report there was no further ground for complaint"
 After while Americans will learn that other untries have their customs, just as we have ours; that they have their climatic and other local conditions Il at don't change. When this realization comes, we will understand them better and our business with them will in- crease.

A DROP IN THE BUCKET

"It does not make much difference hcw large a radius you cover as shining star in your home town, in business or otherwise, you are only drop in the bucket when you hit the big city of the east, New York city," stated J. l.. Stewart local salesman.
 q happen to know of young dry goods salesman who made quite big splurge III hls home town and was sent to New York city on a buying trip. Upon arriving in the big city he expected to be met at the train by brass band and committee of the leading civic off, ficials and later escorted to the mayors office and after being introduced a speclal banquet would be given in honor of his first visit
 But, nothing of the kind took place. Instead he had to make his way to hotel after numer- our inquiries, had to dine alone. The business checking up, had to dine alone. The business houses that he visited of course, treated him with courtesy, kind of formal courtesy, and not the kind that he had been accustomed to in his home town.
 It seemed that the world had not been nc tifled of the fact that he was success which kind of blasted his hopes in that respect. How ever, he later awoke to the fact that to unduly excite the people of the big cities about his success was a bit more difficult than the people of his own toWn.o

MEDICAL PROFESSION WINS
 LITTLE PUBLICITY

Dr. William Stuart Halstead, professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins for 33 years, who died at the age of 70, was one of the leaders in medical science. His membership in long list of societies, American and foreign, showed his high standing in the scientific world, but to the average citizen of this country his name and achievements are unknown.
 A man in public life of mediocre ability may win notorety far out of proportion to his merits but scientists, with few exceptions, labor in comparative obscurity. From time to time a surgeon attracts public attention and becomes an object of interest to newspaper re- porters by performing operation on rich man, or announcing new discovery, but for the most part their fame is limited to msm- bers of their own profession.
 Devoted to their work and spending their lives in service to their fellow men, the leaders in medicine and surgery do not court publicity. That is one of the fine ideals of their profes- sion which most of them live up to. If they do not become as widely known as a second rate statesman or the author of "best seller" they have the satisfaction of knowing that their services are infinitely greater in value benefactors to humanity.

 Steel mills operated at 100 per cent and iron production was the greatest of the year, being three times that of August, 1921.

MORE TRAFFIC PRECAUTIONS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 q am a travelling man, making Birmingham my headquarters, and have noticed various discussions in your columns regarding traffic laws and regulations. I don't believe that Birmingham has an adequate traffic force to handle the situation in this city; many corners, such as Eighteenth street and First avenue Eighteenth street and Third avenue, Twen- tieth street and Fifth avenue and others, have no traffice officer on duty at any time. It seems to me that mounted traffic officers who could be switched from point to point as the need arises during certain hours of the day would be of great benefit if we haven't enough men to fill all the places. Furthermore, there are several corners where no left-hand turns should be permitted. The pedestrian in Bir- mingham hasn't chance; traffic signals are switched so quickly that he hasn't time to cross a street before he is in danger of being run down.
 have also noted that large percentage of machines are operated with only one front light, and often with no tail light. This is dangerous practice, and will result in serious accidents at times. Besides this many cars, for instance the Fords, equipped with a safety lens which in reality throwns a more blingng glare than if it were plain glass, and no doubt the drivers of these cars think that they are complying with the law because their cars have these lenses.
 I certainly hope that the police force can be increased so that these things can be reme- died at very early date. We have enough accidents now, and maybe some of them can be prevented. Yours truly,
 J. c. HAMPSTEAD.

LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED

eve are expecting large number>of dele gates to be in attendance at the first annual convention of the Alabama Fishermen's and Hunters association, which will be in session in Montgomery September 13 and 14,' said J. H. McCollister, secretary of the Brmfng- ham Fishermens and Hunters club. Prac- tically every civic organization in the city will send representative to the convention. On account of the early frost in the northern part of the state, we hope to make a few changes in our constitution to meet these conditions. The DuPont Powder company, the Peters Cartridge company, the Alabama Power com pany and the Birmingham Gun club will also have representatives at this convention, and from the present outlook we will have great convention for sportsmen."

FIRING THE cRoWpsn

"The outstanding feature of the conference called last week by the Atlanta lodge of Elks, who will entertain the 1923 grand lodge meet ing of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, was this proposition, Bring the crowds and we will entertain them'' said Harry Moore, ex- alted ruler of Birmingham lodge, No. 79, who attended the conference hele last week, at which representatives from all the Elk lodges in the southeastern section of the Urted States were invited.
 We were not asked to contribute a cent to the entertainment Of the grand lodge; all the committee in charge asked wae that every southern lodge be represented in numbers, the more the better, as the committee ex- pressed it.
 "The Atlanta lodge set $t50,Go0 as the amount necessary to entertain the grand lodge, and they are not asking for any outside finan- cial assistance; all they want is @ operation of the southern lodges to put the convention over in fitting style, and from the enthusiasm dis played at the conference, the Atlanta lodge will set a record that will be hard to beat in the annals of the Best People on Earth.

ALABAMA AUTHOR POPULAR

"'The Beautiful and Damned novel by F.. Scott Fitzgerald, is certainly proving very pop ular," said Tom Huey. Yesterday I applied at the city library for copy of this book and found that there were Ii patrons of the library already on the waiting list.
 "The novel This Side of Paradise written by the same author when he was 23 years of age, and stationed at one of the southern of- ficers training camps during the war, was most interesting to me. This young author not only wrote his novel This Side of Para dse,' while in the south, but married ore of Alabamas lovliest daughters, Miss Zalda Sayre. of Montgomery."

 monster like mountain, leathern-limbed, With eyes of sluggish ore and claws of stone, He heaved his thunder-throated body, trimmed By marsh fires human eyes have never known, A monolith carved out of savage nighs, He hid in his impenetrable hide
 Muscle and blood and nerves to sense delight And agony that tore him when he died. The clumsy terror of his frame has gone The way of his blind, simple savagery.
 Out of his casual bones men build the dawn That bore and bred such brutish game as he, But still endures his dull, confounding shape; In wars of the wise offspring of the ape.

 On Dr. Traprock's card we had noticed the addition of new initials. The name, as en- graved, read:
 'Dr. Walter E. Traprock, F. R. s. s. E. U., LL D. N" Every one knows what the F. R. s. S. E. U. stands for: Fellow Royal South Sea Explorers Union. The other was a new honor conferred by the explorers union, Doc tor of Northern Lights.
 "The smaller the thing to be discovered the bigger the discovery, you know Traprock said. gro my mind most of the so-called big discoveries don't amount to row of pins. Take Columbus, for instance. How could he have helped discovering America? And Balboa sim ply couldn't escape the Pacific. And you'd cal De Soto crazy if he got past the Mississippi without realizing it was something worth talk ing about. No, sir. Thinps Ike +h,+ ~s..---- at all.
