CLASSIC FORM OF THE sTIcK.UP

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 When the Bank of North Arkansas at Everton was robbed recently, no high-powered automo- bile, with the curtains up and the engine run ming, waited outside the financial institution. The standard, legitimate, orthodox style ployed by that eminent Missourian. Jesse James, was revived. Two men entered the bank ana took the visible cash 'wh' third stood outsit and held three saddle horses. The three me "escaped to the hills"
 The robbers obtained only $4,000, a mere pittance in these days, but they struck blow for the established formula which is in such im- minent danger of being forgotten. The modern bandit is more likely to have a monkey wrench in his hip pocket than a six-shooter. It is doubt ful if any modern law officer could track robber for miles and miles by the left calk on the off hind shoe of the horse he rode, but Old Cap Collier and Old Sleuth did this with ease, as students of their expressing memoirs will re- member.
 The small reward of these holdup men is typical of the times. Revivals of the classics are seldom profitable.

AUTOMOBILE COURTESY

While we are all making resolutions for the new year of 1922 and vowing to ourselves that we will do many things that we left undone last year, wouldn't it be rather fine idea to give little thought to courteous driving?" said Charles G. Davis, president of the Bir- mingham Automobile club. Certainly as far as the automobile club is concerned every mem- Der in it I feel sure would be glad to make the resolution that he would be guided this coming year, and for all time, by courtesy in the matter of driving car. The driver who is guided by courtesy as well as by the laws of right of way seldom gets into trouble, while the impo- lite driver who is always insisting his rights frequently gets into trouble by his unpleasant insistence. A large number of accidents would be avoided if courtesy were the watchword in automobile driving; and besides think of the joy that would be gained by being courteous. A little of that medicine applied to motoring would work wonders in decreasing our accident toll besides making the world safer for motoring"

DANGEROUS PRACTICE

Since Christmas 1 have noticed that a large number of children have been skating in the streets" said J. F. Kicks, land many hang on to jitneys. This is most dangerous and should be stopped before some of them are killed. While coming to town the other day I saw two children catch on to a jitney and when the automobile turned the corner the children turned loose and were thrown donw. Had any other cars been coming along that way close behind the jitney these children would prob ably have been injured before they could have gotten out of the way. Parents should impress upon their children the importance of keeping out of the street when on skates and partic- ularly of the danger in holding to jitneys or any other moving vehicle"

DETENTION HOSPITAL SHOULD
 NOT CLOSED

Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer, announces that the detention hospital will be closed for lack of funds to operate it, as soon as the patients now under treatment can be placed somewhere else Considering the splendid work done at this hospital and the necessity for an institution of this kind in Br- mingham, it looks like false economy to aban- don it after it has fully demonstrated it's useful ness The venereal clinic will probably be closed also, Dr. Bowling states, unless money is provided for its operation.
 Hundreds of persons have been treated at the ectention hospital, who were menace to the health of Birmingham and many more would be treated if it were kept open. It has been maintained by joint appropriation made by the city and the county. Recently the county board of revenue discontinued it's share of the appropriation and the city's contribution is not large enough to continue the work.
 The hospital has had daily average of 30 patients under treatment since it was opened two years ago. Unless some provisions are made to operate it diseased vagrants may have to be sent to the county farm, where it will cost more to maintain them than it costs at the detention hospital.
 Surely the health of Birmngham's citizens, not to mention the plight of the unfortunates who have been receiving treatment, is of more importance than dollars and cents. The county and the city should get together and provide funds to keep the detention hospital and the venereal clinic open.

PROSPECT OF 1922 AND
 THAT OF 1921

On July 1 there were five active blast fur naces in Alabama. Today, six months later, there are 13.
 The rail mill of the Tennessee company at Ensley begins the new year with orders for 90,000 tons of rails from two southern railroad systems
 The radiator plant could afford but two days deness at Christmas, resuming immediately at pace of 100 per cent plus, that has been maintained for several months
 The five furnaces active July 1, compared with the IS active now, tell the story of the depression of 1921, which reached its acute point at the turn of the half year. The 13 now active show the recovery made and the differ ence between the prospect and that of January 1, 1921.
 Those two rail orders will require more than naces at Ensley fcs tie greater part of the first quarter of the year. That, in turn, means work for men in mines, qua. >s and at coking plr $.
 Plant resumption Us holiday -eason been prompt Last Christmas it Jagged, facing the inevtability of period of depression Psychologically the position of the new year is the opposite of year ago. Caution will main tain long time. Men will not be in hurry to buy or produce more than for current re- quirements, but the sheets are clean, the adjust ments well on the way to completion and healthy and normal ways of doing business are in evidence.

THOUGHT "CAFE" WAS CALF

'T can remember the first time that I ever came to Birmingham when was barefoot boy" says V. s. Root of Huntsville.
 q was with a companion going down Nine teenth street when we came to 'Paufs Cafe with big sign out in front
 "'Paul's calf. Why, they sure misspelled It that time,' my companion said. Let's go in and see the calf
 ''In we went and when the proprietor said he didn't have a calf my pal thought he was trying to put over him.
 Well you spelled the name of that calf wrong anyway he told the man, and never knew why they all gave him the laugh"

THE BLESSED BOIL WEEVIL

From the Providence Journal.
 The citizens of Enterprise, Coffee county, Alabama, are reported to have erected .sthe first monument to the boil l1weevil.n According to the vivid description, the tribute is in the form of beautiful bronze fountain, standing Gin the heart of the business districtH-pre- sumably fronting the general store and post office on Main street. Carved in the imperish- able bronze is the following sentiment: "In Profound Appreciation of the Boil Weevil ard What It Has Done as the Herald of Prosperity
 The inscription will not altogether explain nor does it satisfy the curiosity of the world at large. We must bear in mind that they do not grow coffee in Coffee county, but cotton. The boil weev has played havoc on the plantations, and the farmers are forced to plant food crops to live. Viewing broadly the consequences of the weevil's ravages, 'herald of prosperity means that the south, historically one crop section, is about to blossom into region of diversified agriculture, at no distant date, are told, to be self-sustainiag. Reflccting this we can glimpse the "why'' of the boil weevil monument at Enterprise.
 Other monuments will spring up, doubt, all over the south in token of the rejoicing at the miracle which has been wrought--economc salvation out of disaster.
 The planters nightmare has been reconstruct ed into pleasing dream. Will it last? Food is going to be cheap next year. Cotton is going to be high. If the south raises it's own food, the world will have surplus With boil weevl monuments being erected, instead of cotton being planted, there may not be enough of the latter to clothe humanity. There vii! be no consuming demand for the monuments but the market for cotton will be tempting.
 When all mankind is begging for cotton at the souths own price, what will be the feeling of the planters, with the domestcated boil weevl putting veto on profitable growing? The joy now expressed may turn to rage. The time may come, and soon, when the laudatory inscriptions will be scratched off the bug monu- ments. In the end the emotional prophets now preaching the gospel of the boil weev1 may be lucky if they can escape lynching.

ORIGIN OF WHITE MULE"

From the St. Louis Post-D Dispatch.
 The man in the smoker was explaining how white mule got it's name:
 Years ago man rode up to saloon in a small Kentucky town. He was OF a black horse. He went to the bar and asked for a drink of whisky The bartender set up bottle of white corn liquor. The customer looked at it, poured out glass, and pointed his left arm through the open door at his horse. Keeping his arm straight on the the horse, he downed the liquor, with his right arm set tre glass on the bar and started for the horse, following his aim. He went home on a white mule"

PRIDE AND BASEBALL
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.


 The good old city of Boston has long been noted as one of the most generous and con sistent of baseball cities. Boston has had her share of pennants, and also her share of tail enders. Poor but honest' tail-end teams, struggling against diversity, have not been scorned. They have, instead, been supported as no other city ever supported tail-ender. But Boston's patience has finally "cracked un- der the strain" A boycott of the American league club is threatened and movement to put the owner of the club out of business is supported by many of the most eminent citi- zens of Boston, including the mayor.
 The charge against Owner Frazee is that in defiance of the interests and desires of the Bos- ton citizenry he has wrecked his club by sys- tematically selling trading all his best play ers The trouble began when he disposed of Ruth, Mays and number of other stars. This year he has thrown out nearly all the other Boston players that have any considerable mar ket value Boston is red hot. Boston pride js hurt and Boston proposes to have revenge.
 Local pride is what makes professional base ball profitable. Pride brings the dollars; with out pride the dollars are few. Boston, as above noted has been sgnally generous in support ing undstingushed teams teams which would have ruined the baseball pride of any other city. But now that Boston is convinced that she is being imposed upon, pride at last gives place to deep resentment.
 It is a serious matter, worthy of the care- ful consideration of those who gre financially interested in baseball and of all others who have the welfare of the game at heart There is no surer road to ruin than to make commer- cialism the raw and obvious motive of the "magnates"

treating the international agreements origin ating in the Washington conference after the manner of the republicans when they betrayed the hopes of the world by rejecting the Yer sailles treaty.
 That is precisely the view taken by Senator Underwood, both in regard to his serving as one of the American delegates to the confer ence and in supporting whatever agreements may be made to promote world peace. The democrats in the Senate, under Mir Under woods leadership will not play petty politics, despite the fact that Lodge and his fellow con- spirators gave one of the most shameful exhi- bitions of narrow partisanship and vindictire- ness against a democratic administration that the country has ever witnessed.
 What the Times calls the "profoundly im moral and disastrous course taken by the repu5- licans'' will not be emulated by the democrats in matters which should be kept above the level of party politics. The fulminations of few "irreconcilables" who are in love with the sound of their own voices will amount to nothing.

COOPERATION AND ADVERTISING

There is nothing like concerted advertising, especially for farmers, but unless cooperation is used it cannot be done successfully, for some times one farmer might not be able to adver- tise," said P. O. Davis, editor of the Alabama extension and agricultural products "A good lesson to teach cooperation and the advan- tages of advertising is shown by what the raisin producers of California recently did Before they began concerted advertising cam- paign, only one-tenth of pound of raisins per capita were consumed. Since the raisin was properly advertised, the per capita is now three and three-sixteenths pounds"

A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE

"When the city opened and improved the street from Pawnee avenue to Altamont road it gave Birmingham one of the most beautiful scenic drives to be found anywhere" said Robert Jemson, Jr. "No city can boast of more beautiful drive than that along the Alta mont road and the crest of the mountain back through Cliff road and the beautiful Country club district. perfectly level city can't afford the scenic beauty that is possible in city like Birmingham and the side and crest of Red mountain is becoming one of the residential show places of the south.'
