BABE" ONCE MORE ASSUMES HIS
 PROFESSIONAL DUTIES

There was only one big piece of news in the fans The ban on Babe" Ruth was lifted by Judge Landis and the idol of a nation got back into the game.
 While Ruth was under suspension for gazing in transforming tour attendance at the Polo grounds averaged from 5000 to 10000. Yesterday 30,o00 yelling fans saw him step once more to the plate. It was an off day for the Babe" His mighty willow failed to come in contact with the ball with enough force and persuasiveness to knock home run. Perhaps he was still suffering from the effects of his exile, not to mention a brief hospital experience, but even the great est of us do not always function according to form and whatever disappointment there may have been in the hearts of fandom because "Babe" was not batting his best was than compensated for by his cherubic pres ence on the diamond. The season is still young and the King of Swat has plenty of time to resume where he left off.
 George Bernard Shaw once professed that he had never heard of Ruth. Mores the pity We are more fortunate in this country We not only know the Hon. Ruth, and the means by which he has achieved greatness, but his importance in the public eye is a source of never ending wonder to the visitor from abroad.

GALLO DID NOT CARE

Gallo was the Roman governor of Greece, and St. Paul was at work in Corinth one of the cities of that province. The Jews of Gorrfth were greatly disturbed because Paul was teaching a religion and life which were at variance with their worn-out Mo- saic Law and so they made insurreetion, and brought Paul before the judgment seat as a perverter of morals, land as one who persuaded men to worship God "contrary to the law" Galio heard their complaint. It was his duty to decide the matter one way or the other, but he took no interest in it, because he was neither Jew nor Chris tian. Like Pilate he washed his hands of the whole affair. 'I will be no judge of such matters" he said, and drove them all from the place of judgment. He "cared for none of those things"
 In this little picture of ancient life which St. Luke presents in the eighteenth chapter of Acts, there are three outstanding fea- lures; there were the bigots, who sought to control all human conduct by their own sec tarian laws; there was St. Paul, who stood for liberty of life and conscience as he found it in the religion of Christ, and there was Gallio-who stood aside and watched with an air of detached cynicism-because he did not care. And because he did not care, intolerance had its way.
 Wherever intolerance has its way, it is because of the people "who do not care.' You may trust intolerance to organize and fight. Fighting is the breath of it's life You may ever trust it to bring to bear the last vestige of it's strength in any struggle which it undertakes. The very fact that it is intolerance makes it think that any way other than it's own is necessarily the way to ruin. It can see no virtue in Paul, because his religion is not according to law. It will ever make insurrection. It will print it's biased propaganda and spread it through the mails. It will hold it's mass meetings where frenzied speakers seek to mold pub lie opinion along its own narrow lines It will seek to make Gallio it's servant, and it will bring to bear the power of it's organiza- ton upon the civil .ulers of the land. It is always a minority, but it is an organized minority, and it presses it's minority will upon the body politic--beeause of those 'who do not care"; who do not care enough to proclaim truth from the housetops; who do not care enough to go to the polls and vote.
 The only hope that I can see for this land of freedom, where mans personal life is increasingly controlled by law, lies in the fact that the strength of intolerance Is never in it's numbers Its disciples are as much in the minority today as were the Jews in the Greek city of Corinth 2,000 years ago. When the day comes in which we awaken those "who do not care' to the fact that a handful of organized zealots are batterng at the foundation of religious and civil liberty, they will no longer be in- different, and life will be lifted above the Mosaic "thou shalt not, and we shall know that liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.

SLOSS ACTIVITIES REFLECT
 FULL RECOVERY

It is like old times to have the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron company operating five of its blast furnaces, and making between 10000 and 5o,oo0 tons of merchant iron per month. It is the south's largest producer of merchant iron and, when it is under a full head of steam, it may be concluded that the south ern iron interest is faring well.
 Five stacks out of six workable ones is about as near full operations as furnace company can attain, because there is seldom time when there is not need of repair work on one or more stacks. Therefore five active furnaces of the Sloss-Sheffield company means that this large producer is fully on its feet sgains.
 in Alabama compared with half dozen on that date last year, and five during the month of July. There were nine on the active list It the beginning of 1922. The improvement has not been a sudden one. There have been funace assumptions every month this year.
 To the credit of the iron makers, be it said that they have been conservative in ad- vancing prices large amount of iron now being made and shipped was booked on base of $15 and only recently has as high as S17.50 been asked large tonnage in spite of the pressure of demand.
 A long and successful run of normal mer- chant iron production seems ahead. That means large pay rolls in the Birmingham dis txict

TO A BUILDER OF BOATS
By Edward w. Barnard.

By Edward w. Barnard. A semi-god by day, your mind and miep Respondent to the distant breakers boom, When work is done you sit supne, serene,
 To jest and gossip in grimy room. You know the strength and straightness of
 mast,
 You know the virgin whiteness of new wings, How can you when the splendid day is past
 Consort with maculate and broken things? Once having breathed the headland's surf
 washed air,
 And what alurement lies behind a door? Yet there you cuddle in cushioned chair
 And of your own volition sleep ashore. o worse than blind, to build such craft as these And be contented still with pictured seas!

E7T1HERE is every patriotic, business and
 practical reason why the bond election
 should carry on Monday.
 On the other hand there are political quar- rels and labor contentious which may defeat it. There is likewise fear on the part of prop erty owners and business men that past per formances may be repeated, that the bonds may be sold at a sacrifice, and the money expended extravagantly. There are people who have doubts as to the thorough business qualifications of the men who are to handle the enormous bond funds. There are no accu- sations of dishonesty; but fear of the exer- else of the strictest> business economy in the expenditure. There is no question in the minds of anyone but that Birmingham needs more and better school buildings, and more teachers, and bet ter equipment for industrial training schools. There is likewise no doubt in the minds of anyone of the necessity of both parks and play grounds. Nor. is there doubt of the need of larger and better library.
 x*
 Birmingham is becoming a great city; it needs many things and needs them badly. Above all it needs the help of the practical women in solving the needed problems. It needs the woman's touch; and committee of women should be appointed to cooperate at the proper time in the sale of the bonds and the expenditure of the moneys derived there from. In other words, the tax-paying women of Birmingham are just as vitally interested as are the tax-paying men.
 
 If the bond issue carries on Monday it will be the duty of the practical business men and women of Birmingham to watch carefully the

sale of the bonds, the price received for them, the school buildings decided upon, the con tracts let, and the prices paid. They should see that none of the bonds are sold until the money is absolutely needed for practical con struction; and that no bonds are to be- sold bearing interest where the money is to lie idle as has been the case in the s5oO,o00 of audi torium bonds sold long ago.
 The business of the city of Birmingham and of all boards created by its city commission should be handled in the same manner as are the affairs of practical business corporation. Unless such is done strenuous action should be taken by citizens committee.

 Why should it not be well for the best cit- izens of Birmingham, representing all classes, to form committee of, say, one hundred to watch over the administration of affairs-to become a board of directors or a vigilance committee to supervise expenditures, and con- structions, in all things where the peoples money is to be expended.
 That, most needed in Birmingham, is CO., operation and construction, and the elimina- tion of any element which might seek to profit upon the contributions of the people toward constructive work.

THE MUSCLE SHOALS KNOCKERS

From Capper's Weekly.
 Knockers on the Muscle Shoals project now say the Ford proposition is seven parts water power to one part fertilizer, and are for turn ing the whole plan down the theory that only one-eighth of the project would be of benefit to agriculture. As the Muscle Shoals project is an immense project, that may be a pretty large one-eighth, after all. It would seem so when we note the effort made to put a duty of one cent pound on ammonium nitrate

CIRCULATING A TABLED RESOLUTION

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 In the interest of fair play, and to keep the record straight this committee from Camp Wilcox, U. c. V., and the Camp Wilcox aux Hilary, would be greatly obliged if you would print this statement and copy attached
 There is being circulated by persons desir- ous of mjuring the camp, as retaliation for our uncompromising stand that none but Confed crate veterans of unimpeached record should be recognized, copy of resolution offered from the same source at the Houston Tex, reunion, October T 1920, as follows:
 Whereas, The federation of the United Confederate Veterans was ordained and organ ized for perpetuating memories of the heroic deeds of the men and women of the south during the never-to-be-forgotten years of 1861-1S65, and to promote social intercourse between those of us left behind, one with the other, their families, and descendants of those who made the supreme sacrifice; and
 Whereas, It is the right, duty and privilege of this honorable body to protect our feder- ation in its laws and social gatherings from trespassers; and
 Whereas, It has come to our ears that a certain brigade in the state of Alabama through its commander, without authority or law, has organized, or permitted to be organ ized and attached to Camp Wilcox, U. c. w., Birmingham, Ala, ladies' auxiliary, many of whom are reported not to be of the blood of the south; and
 Whereas The recognition of such fragrant acts by us in reunion assembled will serve to open the doors to many other and varied kinds of usurpations and abuses in the name of our confederation therefore, be it
 Resolved, first, That the election and or ganization of such auxiliary to said camp is in direct violation of our constitution and by laws.
 Second That the action. of said camp is hereby repudiated and the courtesies and priv ileges of the federation are hereby revoked.
 Third: That from and after this date no lady or ladies shall become members of any auxiliary to any camp in this confederation until they have first made satisfactory proof of their direct lineage, as the descendants of some Confederate soldier.
 'Fourrh: That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this convention and copy be forwarded to Camp Wilcox, Birmingham, Ala"
