HOW MOBILE INCREASED GRAIN SHIPMENTS

Movements of grain for export through the port of Mobile increased notably since fed eral grain inspector was employed. Prior to that time effort to export cargoes of grain through Mobile failed, because grain, to be exported, must undergo inspection. Mobile asked the loan of grain inspectors from other cities, but they could not be spared.
 The Mobile and Ohio railroad has an ele- vator at Mobile with a capacity of 15,000 bushels an hour enabling the loading of a cargo of 15o,ooo bushels in 10 hours A trial loading was made by ship bound for Spain, and it was a success. Others have fol- lowed and full-cargo grain movements to Eu- rope, Cuba and South America are now talk ing place.
 This change came about as a result of rais- ing the comparatively small amount represent ed in the salary of a federal grain inspector. The surprising thing Is that 1t was not done long ago. Birmingham, an inland city, found it wise to employ a grain inspector several years ago. How a port could have thought of doing without one seems strange indeed.
 The beginning made in the exportation of grain from Mobile points to enormous possi- bilities when that port is equipped with the terminal facilities placed at New Orleans through state aid.

LABOR AND ILLLTERAcY

Statistics indicate pretty constant rela- tion between the number of illiterates and the number of unskilled laborers," said Rolan M Harper, botanist of the state geological department. "As fast as machinery is substi- tuted for human muscles I believe il1iteracy will decrease of it's own accord, and perhaps with less trouble than by attacking it through the medium of schools.
 If successful contemplating machine should ever be invented it would revolutionize social conditions in the south, and doubtless incidentally cause another exodus of negroes. In the farming districts of the south the total illiteraey at any time is roughly proportional to the degree of concentration of cotton, and the boil weevil may have had much to do with the decrease of illiteracy in Alabama in the last 10 years as the school dd'

NEW SIGNIFICANCE FOR MEMORIAL. DAY

National Memorial Day--May 30-is to have new significance4this year because for the first timeAdt will be universally observed as the day for shonoring the nations soldier dead.
 Southern statesS have always observed their own Memorial Day in honor of the Confeder- ate heroes, and this day will continue to be a sacred time in the southland.
 But the participation ofgmillions of Amer ica's boys-north, south, east and west-in the World war now gives national Memorial Day an appeal whichareaches into every home in the land.
 In Birmingham next Tuesday will be wit messed the inspiring spectacle of a parade led by the respective state commanders of the Confederate Veterans andathe Grand Army of the Republic, followed by the veterans of the Spanish-America war and these in turn by the veterans of the Worlds war. The day thus takes on an aspect which should set 1t aside for universal observance. The Retail Merchants association has taken the lead by announcing that the stores of its members will be closed during the afternoon.
 It is day upon which aIlsshould pause from their regular duties to paystribute to the he- roic dead of the nation.

SPIRITS AND HYPNOTISM

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner
 Is Conan Doyle serious in his belief that he has and heard spirits, not by Himself but in company? No doubt. Most people, be- lieving in Doyle but not in his spirits, cast University of Chicago finds one in hypnotism.
 It is easier, he says, to hypnotize group than single individual. He illustrates by personal experience. A negro, one of the professors porters, on an expedition in Africa, was alleged to be magician. Invited to give display of his powers, he borrowed a knife and cut his tongue to ribbons. Moving to a bush, he picked off bunch of leaves, swabbed out his mouth, wiped off the bloody knife and turned to the professor his grinning, open and uninjured mouth.
 Snatching up the knife again, he cut out his left eye, caught it in his palm and held it forth.
 T saw it," says the professor, Gas clearly as ever anything. So did all the rest there was no doubt about it. He clapped his hand back to his face, took it away again and stared at us from two perfectly good eyes.
 What had occurred? Merely the hypnotism of the whole group, including the savant.
 There is nothing new in this explanation. It has been offered for years in the endeayor to account for the tricks of the Indian fakrs, who make, for instance, rose bush grow to maturity in five minutes, bloom and die down to the root. But as an explanation of Spirit seeing" it has it's points. Perhaps Sir Arthur will let us know publicly how he would con flute it.

WHAT AILS ALASKA?

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner.
 Something like 70 government departments, bureaus, commissions and independent of ficials are busy Conserving Alaska.
 As result they have "conserved" that rich territory so successfully that it's popula- tion is waning it's industries are decreasing and it's great natural resources are about as useful to the United States as the sunken gold of the Lustania.
 D. A. Sutherland, Alaska's territorial dele gate in Congress, has issued a statement com- planning because this fact has been pointed out from time to time by men who live in the territory and by business men, officials and congressman who have studied the prob lem. Yet the territorial governor recently superable difficulties which seem to prevent renewal of Alaska's prosperity, and even Pres ident Harding has been quoted as seeking for conservation that will not paralyze Alaska"
 It is this paralysis which threatens to make empire Conservation which conserves by throwing blanket laws over 100000 square miles of territory and then ties the blanket down with 70 varieties of red tape is no more conservation than boulder on railroad track can be called brake or half-ton casting can function as paperweight.
 The dead resources of Alaska will not even pay interest. The only conservation that is worth the name is conservation that develops.

LONG TERM of SERVICE

"With the exception of two other men I have the record for the longest term of service in the Alabama state legislature" said John B. Ward of Abbeville, candidate for commis- sioner of agriculture and industries, who was in Birmingham yesterday.
 T represented Henry county in the legisla- ture for IA years and for most of that time I was chairman of the committee on agricul- ture. Only Col. Sam Will John of Selma and one other man whom I do not recall have served so long. I have been farmer myself for 40 years and I know their interests and hardships from experience.

DUMAS OR MAQUET?

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
 The question of who wrote "The Three Musketeers" is still undecided by the French courts, but, says Paris dispatch, within the next week or two, when the court renders it's decision, we will know whether we have been reading Alexandre Dumas novels all these years or Auguste Maquet's. In the meantime admirers of the reputed Dumas may we'll pe- ruse "The Three Musketeers' again if they want to be sure of reenjoying their favorite author, for it is highly possible credit for the famous romance will be given to Maquet.
 When the case first came up 60 years ago, the courts decreed the collaborater Maquet had sold his rights of authorship in "The Three Musketeers," Twenty Years After" Count of Monte Cristo'' and others to Dumas for 145,000 francs, but the fact that the money was never paid makes the legality question able.
 The importance of the proprietorship rights to the novels Is augmented by the fact that Maquet died some years after Dumas, and definite acceptation of his rights, even as a collaborator, would prevent the copyright from becoming public property until 1888.
 Douglas Fairbanks, we are told, has not yet been able to show his eThree Musketeers'' film in France on account of the existence of this legal question.

SHOULD HAVE REPRESENTATIVE
 IN BIRMINGHAM

Organization of the Mexican Chamber of Commerce of the United States is a step in the right direction. It's purpose is to give it's membership accurate information and prac- tical assistance In the development of busi- ness" With offices in Mexico City and New York, Americans and Mexicans on the board of directors, closer trade relations between the two republics will be assured.
 The organization should have a local agency in such southern centers of produc- tion as Birmingham. Here are produced many articles required by Mexico in structural and manufacturing lines, and the cost of trans portation is low compared with points further north.
 Mexico has been a customer of the district for many years, taking coke, pig iron, steel products and other manufactures. The new chamber of commerce will find here a stable nucleus on which to build up trade between the two countries
