Walter T. Douglas, his father, pro

must earn $500 a year for two sue
years before he could claim
his legacy. The trustees held, how
ever, that Douglas war record was

amount.

ORIGINALS BY RELAY
TO BE SOLD in MOSCOW

Genuine water color portraits by
Relay, a celebrated Hungarian por-
trait artist, are being offered for sale
in Moscow for charity. Pavlowa is
the subject of one of the studies, as
are also many other former members
Of the Imperial Russian Ballet who
are fugitives from their native land
because Of the Bolshevik terror and
now living in France and Germany
IN indescribable poverty. Madam
oiselle Rebay has donated her talent
In making the sketches of these
fnmous dancers in costume and sent
them to America to be sold for what
they will bring to relieve to some
extent the suffering of these and
other Russian fugitives.
f. Doctor Thromanhauser of the Uni
versfty of Idaho, who is a lifelong
friend of Madamoiselle Relay, has
received eleven of these pictures, ex-
uuisite little studies of these famous
dancers, and is forwarding the re-
ceipts of the sale to the artist to be
used to buy food and clothing for
the sufferers. Doctor ThrOmanhauS-
err states that water color sketches
by Relay bring high prices in art
centers, and that it is most unusual
the work of a recognized artist
30 be placed on sale at the prices at
which these are being offered for
Five dollars may save a life
his winter, while the possession of
! painting bearing Rebay's signature
Ihould amply repay the contributor.
The pictures are on display at Hodg-
ns' Drug store.

ENTIRE TOWN is
DESTROYED BY HURRICANE.

Ganzey, N. H-A terrific windstorm
which swept through the valley al
most demolished the town yesterday
and practically the only building not
destroyed was the Old Homestead, on
the farm belonging to Joshua Whit
comb. Seemingly, it was proof against
the fury of the elements, and while
its neighbors suffered great damage,
it remained almost unframed.
This was particularly noticeable and
was commented upon by all because
it was simultaneous with the return
of Reuben Whitcomb who had been
arrested for the theft Of $4,000 from
the safe of Ephraim HOlbrook's store,
a year or more ago, and having es-
capped jail in company of a tramp
named Happy Jack, had been lost to

Dion Boucicault's great Irish

raun," Dion Boucicault's great Irish
melodrama of nearly fifty years ago,
and which is particularly timely In
view of the present political situation
in Ireland. The Boucicault play lends
itself admirably to screen production,
being spectacular and m-elodramatic
to a degree. 1t was directed by David
Smith, who has caught the true Irish
spirit. The title role originally played
by Mr.. Boucicault is assumed by Pat
O'Mal1ey,v bne of the best known screen
actors in this type Of role, and Moya,
the Shaughraun's sweetheart, is in
the capable hands OF Pauline Starke,
a role that fits her to perfection. The
remainder of the cast, which includes
little Richard Daniels, who made such
a hit in The Little Minister" has
selected with equal care.

THE ENGLISH FLAPPER

From the Chicago Post.
 The following excerpts are from an article appearing in the March II issue of the Satur- day Review, conservative English weekly They bear striking similarity to things which have been said recently concerning American girls of the period in American newspapers and periodicals.
 "We thought we had the pick of creation in this fair young English girl of ours That was in the old time, and when English girls were content to be what God and nature had made them. Of late years we have changed the pattern, and have given to the world race of women as utterly unlike the old insular ideal as if we had created another nation altogether.
 "The girl of the period is creature who dyes her hair and paints her face as the first articles of her religion; whose sole idea of life is plenty of fun and luxury; and whose dress is the object of such thought and intellect she possesses. Her main endeavor in this is to outve her neighbors in the extravaganza of fashion. The girl of the period has done away with such moral muffishness as considera- ton for others or regard for counsel and re- buke. It was all very we'll in old-fashioned times when fathers and mothers had some au- thority and were treated with respect, to be tutored and made to obey, but she is far too fast and flourishing to be stopped in mid-career by those slow old morals. With purity of taste she has lost also that far more precious purity and deicacy of perception which some- times mean more than appears on the surface. The imitation of the 6emi-monde in dress leads to something in manner and feeling, not quite so pronounced, perhaps, but far too like to be honorable to herself or satisfactory to her friends. It leads to slang, bold talk and fast ness; to uselessness at home, dissatisfaction with the monotony of ordinary life, and horror of all useful work"
 So it runs on. The description of the flap per is detailed and thorough. It misses none of her deplorablc characteristics. We only need to add that it was written by Mrs. Lynn Linton, and appeared originally in the Satur- day Review for March IA, 1868. This is a re- printing 54 years later.

TWENTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY
 OF BANK OF ENSLEY

It should be highly gratifying to the men who have made the Bank of Ensley what 1t is today, to look back upon the past 23 years of Ensley's history with which this institution has been so intimately identified.
 : Yesterday this bank observed it's 23d anni- versary. Like Ensley it has come up from a small and modest beginning to a position of great usefulness and effectiveness.
 Though Ensley has passed through trying times, 1t is now on such firm footing that her products go to all parts of the world. The Bank of Ensley, which has shared in this won derful growth and development, is to be con- graduated upon it's 23 years of intimate asso- citation with this development.

Der. MT. Dooley observed, "Twas speech you cud waltz to-" He made more speeches in waltz time, and the galleries were always filled with beautiful young ladies when he spoke The Senate became restless, and Senator Pet tus, of Alabama, 84 years of age, with his kindly highly pitched drawl, rose one day to obliterate the orator, as he called Beverldge Buttoning his frock coat about him and stick ing his thumb in it in approved oratorical fash ion, Pettus began his speech:
 "As he talked he somehow suggested all Beveridge's favorite gestures without doing a thing so undignified as to initiate them. In his way of buttoning the top of his coat, in his gentle movement of the chest and slight oscil- lation of shoulders, he conveyed such an idea of ridiculous pomposity that the Senate lost all control of itself. Never mentioning Beveridge's name, he punctured the Indianian's claim to be what he called 'our great orator with gentle and poignant ridicule. He pictured Beveridge as indulging in soliloquy, in which he pledged himself to throw aside all consideration of con- mon sense and devote himself to building up reputation as an orator. He rung the changes on the word orator, each time dividing it carefully into three syllables and making each bear the burden of world of scorn- He sug- gested to Allison and Hale (the two wise old heads of the republican machine) the necessity of calling a caucus to consider the question what should be done with Beveridge. -.
 While the old man was doing this dreadful deed, now and then stopping to mop his face. with an immense red handkerchief imported from Selma, all the rules of the Senate were forgotten. Democrats and republicans alike were lying sprawled across their desks, their faces contorted in an agony of merriment- The president of the Senate, gavel in hand, lay back in his chair, not only not enforcing, but fagrantly breaking all the rules by guffawing."

Cramer, former president of the American Cot ton Manufacturers association and represen- tative of that organization at the convention in Birmingham, gave some interesting informa- ton the growth of southern industry, paying particular attention to cotton manufacturing.
 century or more ago, MT. Cramer said, the south lead the United States in its industrial development, but lost it's position of leadership when the cotton gin was invented, permitting the southern people to make large profits by raising cotton with slave labor. We are still suffering from the effects of devoting most of our energies during long period of time to growing one crop, but happily that era is pass ing. Cotton is no longer the chief reliance of the south.
 According to MT. Cramers figures, the south had 357,946 spindles in 1860 and s,622 looms. It consumed 9,720 bales of cotton. In the United States there were 5,235,727 spindles and 126,313 looms The total consumption of cotton in mills was s45,408 bales. Today ap- proximately half the spindles in the United States are in the south, and this change has come about in the past 25 or 30 years. There was an increase of nearly 400 per cent from 1900 to 1920. In that year the south had 15,653,4 ,440 active spindles and 292, ,132 looms. The total for the whole country was 32446, ,000 active spindles and 692, looms. Southern mills are now consuming 60 per cent of all the cotton consumed in American mills.
 This remarkable expansion was made against strong competition in the north, where the textile industry has been firmly established for generations.
 One of the lessons we have to learn from northern competitors, MT. Cramer thinks, and most observers will agree with him, is their loyalty to home interests. Many cotton mills in the south are controlled in the north and managed by men sent down from the parent organization. Their products are shipped bag north for finishing and distribution. These mills also give the preference to their north erh connections in ordering supplies.
 The products of southern cotton mills are now equal in quality to those of northern mills, and MT. Craner gave a bit of excellent advice when he urged the dry goods men to buy at home. With more diversified manufactures and more finished for the trade in the south there will be no excuse for southern buyers not patronizing their home industries.

HANDICAP OF THE AMERICAN
 MERCHANT MARINE

There can be little argument about the ne- cessity of an American merchant marine The position we found ourselves in when war was declared on Germany was humlating to great people. For years we have been content to let other nations own and control the worlds shipping. The American flag in the seven seas has been conspicuous by it's absence. A strange and short-sighted policy for a nation fitted by temperament, experience and natural advan- tages to take the lead in maritime expansion.
 We have at last realized that it is impera- tive, both for business reasons and for national protection, to build up powerful merchant marine, but we will never be able to compete successfully with foreign nations as long as 1t costs more to operate an American ship than 1t does foreign ship That is why, prior to the World war; most of Americas exports were carried in vessels owned abroad. While other maritime nations doing everything in their atious restrictions are placed on the American merchant marine.
 Despite the fact that there is a general stag nation involving 40 per cent of the worlds ton mage, the German merchant marine continues to grow and pay large dividends Why? Be- cause the pay of German sailors is the cheapest in the world. It is estimated that the daily cost in wages for operating a German ship of 5000 tons is s150. The cost for an English ship is $350 and for an American ship $500. There is the story of Americas defeat on tho seas in . nutshell.
 As result of cheap labor the Argo Steam ship company increased its dividends from "A per cent in 1914 to 30 per cent in 1921. The Hamburg-America line and the North German Lloyd paid dividends of 10 per cent in 1921. These companies operated at time when the whole world was still suffering from the ef fects of war. With the return of normal con- ditions their business will increase.

FOREIGN CAPITAL INVESTED IN ALABAMA BECOMES LOCAL

A representative of English and Canadian capitalists, planning large investments in Ala ban,a, says his principals were rudey shaken from their plans several weeks ago when press dispatches from Alabama during heated pe- riod of the Muscle Shoals controversy gave the impression that the people of this state were unfriendly to foreign capital. A syndicate that had expended s1oo, 1000 in preliminary arrange ments called an abrupt halt.
 In this particular case, the impression cre- based on the spirit of the southern people, es- pecially those of Alabama, whose industrial in- terests have been built on foreign capital Much of that foreign capital has been English and Canadian.
 The English and Canadian syndicate will change it's viewpoint with regard to Alabama, sentative, who came to learn for himself what manner of people we really are. He has found us conservative and fair minded, willing to give foreign capital invested here, and thereby~lo- calized, the same treatment we accord our own. He has realized difference between what a few men may say in heated state of mind, en- gendered by controversy, and the sober thought of people at large.
 Criticism of foreign capital has been short sighted and misrepresentative of people who, when they had nothing with which to develop their latent resources, had them developed by foreign capital. In fact, capital is not foreign when once placed here and subject to the laws of the state.
 Capital wants only fair play Alabama Is going to give that, because it is tho only sound policy to pursue.
