COLLECTING" SUNDAY COMICS

Henry Mcbride, in The Dial.
 We hear a lot about democratic art and the tendencies of the age; of the infallibility of the common people whose idols, such as Charlie Chaplin and Babe Ruth, afterward be- come the idols of the supposedly astute-and there is much that is significant in this kind of talk, for to the tyrannical common people accrue more and more of the money and power, and hence patronage, of the world It is the shavings of eighths of cents or less from these very ordinary people that produces our Rocke- fellers and Fords, and if money be the sole test of an aristocracy we arc not very far off from the moment, if not actually arrived at it, when our Sunday supplement artists, who are ex- ceedngy well paid, shall become our elite. So profound a student as MT. Van Vetchen is already seriously advising his clientele to "collect" Sunday supplements, holding that a complete set,' hundred years hence, will be priceless! Y

 x < n RkS BECOMING AGGRESSIVE T AT CONSTANTINOPLE

ule Turks, glorying in their newly recovered
 Fer and prestige, are trying to drive the } lies out of Constantinople. This threatening

 Ato issue few on their responsibility.
 gre. .hstionast government has handed note to the allied high commissioners stating that warships of all nations must get Turkish permission to pass the Dardanelles and must salute the new Turkish government, according to Constantinople dispatch. After taking con trol of Constantnople the nationalists de- z<aanded that all allied troops be withdrawn rom the city and notified the allies that smerican or allied sailors will not be permitted D land from their ships at Kemalist ports Isithout permission of the Angora govern anded proceedings the Turks have violated the eutral areas by moving in gendarmes
 a When the Angora national assembly ended lie temporal power of the Sultan and the na- ! onalists set up their regime in Constantinople, at was strictly an affair of the Turks. The
 es had no reason to interfere. But when inc nationalists peremptorily demand that the <slies get out of Constantinople, bag and bag age, without abiding by the terms of the Mu- al&a conference or waiting for peace in the Year East to be settled at Lauzanne, that puts an entirely different face on the matter.
 We may rest assured that there will be no military evacuation of Constantinople by the allies. The time has come to deal firmly with the Turk, despite the threat of war, and that will be done. The allied policy in the Near est is to blame for the present obstreperous
 itude of the Turks. A greater show of
 nness in the first place would have pre-
 tied these newer complications.

HOSPITAL IN NEED

While trying to get a friend into the Rel Mountain Tuberculosis sanitarium last week had an opportunity to learn great deal about the sanitarium,' said William L. White. Il noted that the sanitarium had only 30 patients, which is deplorable and if the people of Jeffer- son county would visit the sanitarium and as certain the facts and see the great need for q larger institution of this kind there would be no doubt about the money coming in to build a 100-bed hospital that so much has been said about in the papers recently The county and city recently agreed to appropriate $20,000 each for the maintenance of the new institution and the public should make it it's duty to back up this project with substantial voluntary subscription according to my belief"

A PSALM OF LIFE

By Henry wadsworth Longfellow. Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
 Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers,
 And things are not what they seem. Life is real Life is earnestl
 And the grave is not it's goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
 Was not spoken of the soul Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
 Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow
 Find us further than today. Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
 And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating
 Funeral marches to the grave. In the worlds broad field of battle,
 In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
 Be hero in the strife Trust no future, howe'er pleasant
 Let the dead past bury it's dead! Act-act in the living present!
 Heart within, and God o'erhead! Lives of great men all remind us
 We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us
 Footprints on the sands of time;- Footprints, that perhaps another,
 Sailing OCT life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
 Seeing, shall take heart again.  Lnt us, then, be up and doing,
 With heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing,
 Learn to labor and to wait.

HAT IS OFF 10 CLUBS

q have visited several of the luncheon clups of Birmingham as guest of various members during my stay here," said L. L. Lenhart of New York city, land must say that on a whole the membership seems to emanate a somewhat more friendly and homelike armos- phere than similar clubs that I have visited in other cities. Of course, all is not merry making in these local clubs and yet at the same time the members seem to be able to mix fun with business and are able to put great things across. l have noted in clubs of other cities that the carnival spirit overshadows all else and as a consequence nothing for the civic bet terment is accomplished. My hat is off to the personnel of the Birmingham clubs.''

FEWER MINE ACCIDENTS, BUT
 A LARGER PERCENTAGE

Accidents in the mineral industry of the United States in 1921 showed decrease from the preceding year, fatal accidents dropping from 2,9s4 in 1920 to 2,367 in 1921. Non- fatal injuries decreased from 56,O57 to 35,416.
 However, while there were fewer accidents, fatal and non-fata, there was a larger per- centage of accidents per 1000 of men ena- ployed. The fatality rate increased from S.29 per cent in 1920 to 3.59 per cent in 1921. The federal report dealing with this data says:
 "The increase in accident rates per 1000 of men employed may be largely attributed to the part-time operation which prevailed in the mining industry in 1921, since periods of idleness or intermittent work are generally followed by an increase in accidents
 This is not difficult to understand. Men at work intermittently lack the caution of those regularly accustomed to mine work, while, in case of labor troubles and the employment of green hands, there is an unusual amount of carelessness that causes accidents.
 It seems pity that with all the safety first methods introduced to the mining industry the toll of life should still be so great, owing to the lack of steady operations and the employ ment of inexperienced workers.

That rain as worth scads TO the
speed fans. It was the first real
"soaker' which has failed since Jack

last spring. Since the last races
were held s1ill more clay has been
spread on the turns and worked in.

the daily kneadlngs which workmen
have given the course have changed

As a precaution against the dust
clouds, Leech has o.sed the turns
so that they will be as dustless as

should be Inc best yet in point of
comfort to the spectators and safety

New speed records should be pin
