PRINCESS MARY HELPS TO IMPROVE THE STAGE

British royalty is still useful for setting a good example. Queen Victoria was stickler for propriety, but Queen Mary has some well developed ideas on dress, decorum and other matters which have been inherited by Princess Mary, now the wife of Viscount Lascelles.
 Princess Mary's presence at a performance of "Decameron Nights, in London theatre, caused the management to make some hasty changes. The show is apparently all that it's name suggests. When the arrival of the Prin- cess was made known the entire prologue of the piece was eliminated, because it showed Willette Kershaw, a musical comedy beauty, washed up on a beach after shipwreck in a costume that was even less seanty than Deau- vile bathing suit.
 Another part of the play showed erring wife stripped of her clothing before crowd of people in front of St. Marks. The sun was supposed to be eclipsed during this episode, but thanks to the Princess, the lights went out more quickly than usual.
 If one may judge from rather brief de- scription of "Decameron Nights" little prun- ing here and there, even at the eminent risk of sacrificing art, would be highly desirable Some shocking sights have been witnessed on the Paris and Berlin stage since the war, but staid old London is not far behind.

BOLD SKIPPER ENCOUNTERS
 A SEA SERPENT

Further details of the hair-raisng adventure of Capt. Pedro Matisona, skipper of a Gloucester mackerel schooner, have come to hand. It was reported in the public prints that Captain Matisona had sighted a sea ser pent off Cape May and when last heard from was making an unsuccessful attempt to get elephant guns for hunting down the monster.
 According to the story told in a dispatch from Cape May, the doughty skipper heard a strange buzzing, about the sunset hour. It sounded like nast6donic bumbIebee or an airpane. Casting his eyeu over the deep, the skipper saw a mighty tail threshing about in the path of the sinking sun. At first he thought it was whale, but a closer inspection through his glasses revealed that the creature had the tail of serpent, which was vibrating rapidly.
 Undaunted by this apparatiOn, Captain Mat tison, armed merely with his revolver, started in pursuit, but his more timorous crew de- murred, unless elephant guns were procured and rum issued. The captain put into Cape May for the guns, and thus lost an opportunity for adding another rare specimen to a mu- scum.
 Before we question the veracfty of the gal lant skipper, let not overlook the fact that Patagonia claims to have 8 plesiosaurus that should have been dead long before the first Neanderthal man beat his wife. Kiplins wrote the best sea serpent yarn ever put on paper, but as long as sailors go to sea in ships, and particularly as long as rum rations are issued, we going to be regaled from time to time by veracious accounts of monsters of the deep, regardless of what the scientific gentle men may have to say.

FIRST-CLAsS ARTISTIC EVENTS
 HAVE POSITIVE VALUE

A magnificent audience will greet Galli- Curci, brought here by the All-Star Concerts (Mesdames Johnston and shipman) at the Jefferson theatre Wednesday evening. Large audiences heard John Mccormack and Sousa's band drew full houses, the latter two of them, earlier in the season. Season before last ar tists like Mary Garden and Fritz Kreisler en- tertained thousands.
 Next week Birmingham will have the Scotti opera company for three performances. It goes without saying that the good taste dis played by Birmingham and Alabama music lovers in attending other musical events of the first-class will again be shown. It was done when the Scotti Opera company was here last season.
 Birmingham business should realize that artistic events lend as much prestige to a fairs from over the country attending conven- tions here this week will think more of the city for engaging Galli-Curci than had there been nothing but business. Visitors to Bir- mingham next week will carry away better impression for knowing that we appreciate grand opera.
 The All-Star Concerts and the Music Study club are charging no more than is necessary to be charged, considering the limited space of our theatres.
 Many visitors from Alabama and other states come to these high-class events They bring trade to Birmingham, the best kind of

WHAT DO OFFICE BOYS DOT

From the Wall Street Journal.
 committee, sef-appointed on the con- servation of energy and promotion of industry among office boys, was asked for the results of an investigation. Of seventeen hundred office boys investigated the following was determined.
 Twelve per cent read movie magazines and memorize the lives of movie stars.
 Seventeen per cent print their names in various types over seventy times daily.
 Eleven per cent watch the door from the hall while they match pennies with other future presidents and directors.
 Three per cent collect postage stamps and spend their time sorting them.
 Seven per cent practice typewriting.
 Four per cent sleep.
 Three per cent sit and stare off into blank space.
 Six per cent just sit.
 Those remaining are sufficiently clever in action so that even their bosses don't know what they are doing.

MUNICIPAL BOND SALES
 BREAK RECORDS

The pent-up accumulation of state and mu- nicipal bonds, unable to find an advantageous market since the beginning of the World war, has been released with the return of easier money. Sales during the first quarter of this year have broken all prior records for like period.
 The amount of this class of securities f. nanced during tho first quarter of this year is $2ss, ,ooo 1000, compared with $215, 900, 900 last year, $195,00o, ,ooo in the preceding year, s1o2, ,oo0, 900 in 1919 and es,ooo, 900 in 1918. The low mark of the past 10 years was reached in 1917 and 1918. In those years we were busy making-war and't money of the country was tied up in the affairs of war.
 Not only did the war itself dam up the sources of money supply, but it has required three and one-haf years for the finances of the country to so far recover as to permit a normal basis for'the flotsti,n of securities.
 Recovery from tho low mark of 1918 has been gradual one, year by year. This goes to show that large wars are not disposed of by a cessation of hcstilities. We are just emerg- ing from some of the conse quences of war lap ping over into times of peace. Some of them have generations yet to run.

JUNIOR CHAMBER TO HAVE
 BOND ISSUE DEBATE

That very live organization, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, proposes to hold a mass meeting where the people will listen to arguments for an dagainst the proposed bond issues. These bond issues involve s7,00o,oOo If voted that sum will be large addition to the bonded debt of the city.
 Matters of this importance should have a public airing. The Junior Chamber is right in arranging the debate and thus affording an opportunity for the people to study the pro- posed measures before they decide whether to vote for them or turn them down.

NAMES THAT ARE VALUABLE

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 The Gazette commented editorialy short time ago on the disservice done by the founders of a new town in fixing grotesque name upon it. The names that have been brought into the news by the floods along Arkansas eastern shore, and south of it, recall this com ment, for these names are, in the main, most satisfactory from the viewpoint of good taste and musical sound. Among them are Elaine, Melwood, Lacona, Henrico in Arkansas and below Arkansas, Grassmere, Deer Park, Tensas, Concordia and Ashbrook
 These are the names of villages or hamlets or stretches of levee. It is possible that any one of these villages hamlets may become a city. But even if they remain villages and hamets there still is certain attractive quality about their names that is valuable. Compare these with such names as Needmore, Scrougeout and, last but not least, Bug Scuffle, that classic of bad taste and misplaced comedy that has been hung on an Arkansas conlmunty.

HELIUM GAS FOR DIRIGIBLEs

From the Houston Post.
 Not the least important feature of the naval bill as passed by the House was the provision it makes for the production of helium gas for use in dirigible airships. Something like $80o,000 is made available for expenditure on the helium plant at Fort Worth, the operations of which have been greatly curtailed for some time.
 Since the accidents of the two large dirigi- bles the experts in aircraft have insisted that helum was essential to insure the highest safety for the dirigible type, and the terrific loss of life from the explosion of the ordinary gas used in the ill-fated ships, seemed to bear out their contention. With the balloon bags filled with non-explosive gas, the risks to the crew are greatly reduced.
 The provision for the helium plant indicates that the government Is to go ahead experi- menting with the dirigibles. Apparently, the two recent accidents to ships of this type have not discouraged further building of them. In that case, Congress has done well to include this appropriation in the interest of safety of those who sail in these ships Many people throughout the country are convinced that the dirgible is not practical, but since the pro- gram is to go through, they will commend Congress for its efforts to mako them as safe as possible.

s'NEWBERRYISM" WILL FIGURE IN
 CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGNS

Cordell Hull, chairman of the democratic national committee, has returned from tour of the west with the announcement that the chances are bright for democratic victory. One of the requisites of his position is sus- tained optimism, but Chairman Hull is not alone in predicting a reduction in republican representation at Washington. Even the re- publicans are showing symptoms of uneasiness, as we'll they may, for their party has only one asset and that is President Harding.
 It is interesting to note from Chairman HulIs statement that the Newberry case will be carried direct to the people by democratic candidates. There is no lack of campaign material The republican party is being as- sailed. not so much for what it has done, as what it has failed to do, but when Senator Newberry was given his seat and liberal coat of .whitewash," after it had been proved beyond any possibility of doubt that the seat had been bought, the republicans committed a political blunder for which they offer no valid excuse.
 It is easy to fool the "dear people, about the tariff, about the bonus bill or any other piece of legislation that comes up in the regular order of business, but the Newberry case is too well known to be dismissed lightly. seat in the United States Senate was bought and paid for. The transaction was made in behalf of republican. It was aided and abetted by republican senators. These facts have been substantiated.
 There will be plenty of issues for demo- crats to bring before the voters, but not the least of them, and one of the most effective is "Newberryism." It will be long time be- fore the republican party is permitted to for get the gentleman from Michigan with the dollar-narked toga.

 Senator Walsh says the republican tariff bill is an Economic monstrosity." Thus far the vocabularies of democratic statesmen have met every test to which they have been sub- jected by a republican Congress. Postmaster General Work is looking for orators to talk about the post office. He can find them on every street corner but, as rule, their remarks are not complimentary.

"HAMLET" AND AMY RoBsART

James Westfall Thompson, in the North Amer
 ican Review.
 It seems strange, so far as I know Shake spearean literature that no critis-has perceived the remarkable applicability of the tragedy of Amy Robsart to Hamlet. The language of the play most startingly fits in with the case of Amy Robsart, the suspicion resting upon Leices- ter of having compassed her murder, and the suspected liaison between Leicester and Eliza beth.
 As long as Elizabeth lived even guarded criticism was dangerous. It required change of dynasty to release even yelled speech. As for flat, open discussion of the mystery of Amy Robsart or any other murder case of note, it was still quite impossible. Hence Shakespeare's resort to drama in which under camouflaged guise Londoners might perceive the real spirit and condition of the age. Hamlet is the most brilliant assortment of double-edged language, covert criticism, cutting allusion to contem

COMMENTS ON SERMONS

Yesterdays Age-Herald contained a synopsis of Dr. W. R. Hendrix's Sunday even ing sermon on The Conversion of Scrooge, Dickens "A Christmas Carol,' which was read by hundreds said Judge Dan A. Greene, "but I wish in addition to that sermon that Dr. Hendrix's great sermon on Sunday morning could also have been published for it was the biggest sermon he has ever preached since he has been pastoa' of Highlands Methodist church. This was the concensus of opinion of the tremendous congregation which heard him. It was one of the most comforting and encourag- ing sermons I have ever listened to and Dr. Hendrix remarked Sunday night to some friends that a number of men had talked with him after the sermon saying that it opened way for them to be Christians-following the exposition of the text, Believe me, that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works sake pr. Hendrix's sermon masterpiece, one of religious thought and study and it was an iu- spiration to everybody that heard it."

itself has declared for the manager form, but it has been broad-minded enough to invite consideration of all plans so that what is best for Birmingham may be evolved. That is first class citizenship; to have convictions of 'one's own and yet ask the views of others.
 It is good community exercise to discuss serious matters before making final decision Citizens shoul dgo to the polls with some sort of conviction, rather than the confused state of mind with which we cast our ballots when there has been no real effort to inform the voters.

 AND ELSEWHERE
BIRMINGHAM AND DALLAS

Several weeks ago Ned Brace was in my read with much pleasure his story in The Age Herald about his impressions of our city. Espe- cially what he had to say by way of sugges- tion to Birmingham about our large and spa cious auditorium said N. T. Blackwell, pres Publishing company" and "The Cotton and Cotton Oil News" who is visitor to the city.
 q always enjoy The Age-Herald and be- sides Ned Brace like the work of Dolly Dal- rymple and Richard F. Johnston. The paper is well edited. Birmingham stacks up fine by the side of Dallas, except in the case of an auditorium which is very apparent in the presentation here of Galli-Curci, the great singer, who is to be here tomorrow evening Galli-Curci sang in Dallas just few nights ago and our tremendous auditorium was packed to the doors with the standing room only sign out long before the concert. It takes a man. moth place to accommodate the people who want to hear this great singer-to my way of thinking-the most beautiful voice in the world today. The seats in Dallas, by the way, sold for $3.50 in spite of the immense seating ca pacity auditorium, and I can't how the small sum of $4.50 can be charged here, with such small place to present her.

The ladies talk of politics
 And many other things; Of servants, dogs and babies, too,
 Of cabbages and kings; Of what's amiss with this old world And how to right it's woes, But soon or late, as sure as fate, They get around to clothes. They talk-the high-browed ladies do Of lit'rature and art, Of scandals in the neighborhood
 And matters of the heart; Of motor cars and photoplays
 Seen at the movie shows, But soon or late, as sure as fate,
 They get around to clothes.
