COOPERATION FOR EDUCATION

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The splendid cooperation of The Age Herald insthe Presbyterian educational move ment in Birmingham was largely responsible for the success of that great undertaking.
 Through your news and editorial columns you brought message in favor of Christian education which was worthy of your jour- nalistic enterprise and foresight. This CO., operation was appreciated by the large Pres byterian constituency in Birmingham number ing more than 1000 members, and even beyond the bounds of this one denomination.
 Those of us who had part in the undertaking in Birmingham were glad to find paper like The Age-Herald willing to cooperate in every good cause. Yours cordially, S. W. MGILL,

 mittee of Christian Education Presbyterian

MOBILE ESTABLISHES CLAIM
 TO CONSIDERATION

For the very reason that, despite the lack of aid, the port of Mobile is going forward by leaps and bounds, the state should more readily help to increase it's facilities for serv- ing the people of Alabama.
 In the first five months of the year dozen ships moved 5o,Ooo tons of Birmingham iron and steel products to the Pacific coast out of this port and 15,ooO tons of rails were moved to Japan. A total of 65, 900 tons from the mills of one part of A'ebama went to far-away mar kets through that gateway. The variety of these exports, as well as their quantity, is growing.
 Business done by Birmingham with the Pa- cific coast brought competing shipping lines in quest of that business. That is why there are now regular sailings between Mobile and the Pacific coast by several lines, where year ago there were no regular movements.
 These liners discovered an eastbound busi- ness from the Pacific coast, which is giving them return cargoes and making the service pay in both directions. Pacific coast milling concern has established plant at Mobile for handling flour to be distributed to inland points.
 This is proving Mobile to be worth while. It is an indication to Alabamians that they could make no better investment than lending state credit to the improvement of the gateway of their farm and mill products to all nations The better equipped that gateway, the more cer- tain the advantageous disposal of any Alabama production surplus.

BIRTHDAY WISHES

The earth is snow-bound and dreary,
And storm clouds DER it sweep,
No note of the song bird, CHEEKY,
All earth seems to sleep.
Still, there's a garden in full bloom,
At its best this time of the year,
And the birds are all in tune.
They are singing of you, my dear.
Love cares for this garden,-my heart;
Thought is the life giving dew,
And the song-birds that never depart
Are memories, dear, of you.
Each throb of my heart is greeting,
Pm sure that it reaches your ear,
For DER and DER Pm repeating,
"Sweet birthday wishes my dear"

And old Sol rose exceptionally clean
For heaven desired homage done

That God may keep you good and true
For many returns of the day.

And with them happiness galore.

HOW HEAVEN COMES

The Heaven we seek will not be found
In golden flights in glory;
But in this little daily round,
This common human story.
Heaven is in little useful deeds,
Lighted by Loves great passion:
Out of the humble human needs
All Heavens take form and fashion.
Man never gets pure heaven from God
However much he wrestles:
All Heavens must come thru clay and clod,
In common earthen vessels
The Gates of Paradise are near:
Awake, away, and win them:
That heartening word, that friendly tear,
Have hallelujahs in them.

FOUND MANY PEDAL DEFECTS
Investigators Discovered Bad condi-
ton of Affairs Among New
York School Children.

The board of health of New York
city has recently made special study
of the feet of the children in one of
the public schools with view to
obtaining some idea of the prevalence
of pedal defects among young boys
and girls
The examinations, made by ortho-
pedic surgeons. appeared to show that
such defects are much commoner than
has been supposed. The number Of
children examined was 356. Seven per
cent of the boys and 6 per, cent of
the girls were found to have deformed
toes. Six per cent of the boys and
Is per cent of the girls had fiat foot"
Forty-seven per cent of the boys and
"a per cent of the girls had weak
feet" Ten per cent of the boys and
II per cent Of the girls had ingrow-
ing toenails The feet of 80 per cent
of the boys and 26 per cent Of the
girls revealed corns or other excres-
cences. Twenty-one per cent Of the
boys and per cent of the girls
walked with their toes turned in.
Most of these troubles were of q
cure, with proper treatment. If neg
lected, said the surgeons, some Of
! them might cripple and impair the
efficiency Of the children affected
The surgeons recommended that all
growing children be examined for
1nfn a
be watched and treated, in order that
later in life they may be "foot-sound."

ADVICE WELL WORTH TAKING
No Doubt Driver Of Car Realized
Afterward That His Sarcasm,
Really Was Wasted.

A big passenger car was victim
of the sleet in Central avenue The
driver tried valiantly to keep it in
the middle of the street, but one hind
wheel slipped over little, the driver
tried to stop the boat the rear
wheel slid along the car track-well,
auto drivers know the rest.
When the car stopped sliding its
two rear wheels rested against the
curb and its two front ones were on
Ike car track. Then ensued much
speeding up of the engine and much
whizzing Of rear WHEELS, but no for
ward movement.
"What's the matter; trying to get
away from the curb?' a bystander
asked
ooh, no, I'm polishing the pavement
SO the kids can have some fun" sar-
castically exclaimed the driver of the
car.
"Well, If you'll Just cut that engine
down and slip her out of high into
low, I'll give you little shove and
you'll walk right away from the curb"
the interloper said.
The advice was followed, the wheels
ceased their mad whirl and the car,
under the gentle urge Of the bystander,
moved away-Indianapo News.

Umbrella Sign Of Married Man.

You can. tell married man by the
umbrella he checks, asserts the young
capitalist who presides over the cloak
room of family restaurant. If he
has two weather sticks, one heavy,
cheap affair, that was purchased with
the idea Of being soon lost, and the
other of finer material, it's sure bet
that he's married.
According to this psychologist, mar
ried folks when they start out in the
rain each carries his own umbrella so
they can have the minimum of incOn-
venience and retain a maximum of
dryness. In the prenuptial times the
male of the species would never hear
of the woman battling the winds alone
He would carry the umbrella over her
and get wet himself But they're mar
ried now, and that makes difference.

From Messenger to General.

General Pellegrin, who has just been
appointed to the command of the
thirteenth division of French infantry,
with headquarters at Langres, is a
living proof of the possibility of ris-
ing by unaided effort, which Napoleon
crystallized into the saying that, every
French soldier carried a marshal's
baton in his haversack
General Pellegrin, whose parents
were in very poor circumstances, be-
gan life as a telegraph messenger at
Marseilles. He scraped and saved so
as to be able to buy books, which he
studied at night after his. days work
for the postoffice was finished. He
took his baccalaureate, got into the
military college at SaintCyr, obtained
his commission with flying colors and
passed the Ecole de Guerre, or staff
college. He took part in the opera
tons in Morocco in 1907, was badly
wounded at the battle of the Marne
and afterwards returned to Morocco,
where he became one of Marshal
Lyautey's most valued assistants

BELONG TO PREHISTORIC DAY
Bones Of Whales Possibly Ten Thou
sand Years Old Recently Un-
earthed on English Farm.

The skeletons of two whales, dating
back, it is supposed, 10000 to 1900
years, were founud by two workmen
on farm near Peterborough, accord
ing to the Westminster Gazette. Some
of the teeth and bones were submitted
to Doctor Garrood of Alconbury hill.
Hnntingdonshire, and he. in company
with two geological experts, visited
the farm and obtained all the bones,
with the result that one of the whales
has been set up.
The whales were lying side by side
under the peat, and just embedded iii
the clay. On the whole the bones are
in good condition, and those that have
been taken out carefully are scarcely
broken. Unfortunately, the skulls are
damaged.
1t is believed that many thousand
years ago these whales, and perhaps
others, swan up creek when the
wash came further inland, and got
caught at the top of spring tide
in place where they were unable to
turn.
Another theory has been advanced,
though it is rather far-fetched Some
years ago prehistoric boat was
dug up in the same field, and the sug-
gestion has been made that the crew
of the boat was hunting the whales
at the particular period
