A PLEA FOR GOOD MANNERS
 IN THE THEATRE

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun is impressed by the fact that audience actually remained seated in Augusta until a theatrical perform ance had been concluded. The Enquirer-Sun says: "We have seen several excellent plays, this season, largely spoiled for fully two-thirds of the audience by about one-third of the auds- ence jumping to their feet and making grand rush for the doors the slightest suspicion that the curtain is about to fall. Why do people do this sort of thing? Can somebody tell us? Can't somebody stop it?"
 Birmingham theatre-goers have the same fault. They are discourteous to players and annoy other patrons who want to remain seated until performance ends, but even when they attempt to do so, are prevented from hearing

THE SLEEK BANK WRECKER AND
 THE HIGHWAYMAN

The former treasurer of the Agricultural Trust company of Lancaster, Pa., was convicted of embedding more than $200,o00 and caus- ing the institution of which he was an official to be closed by the state department of bank ing. Often, in a case of this kind, the offender is given few years in penitentiary, where he performs light duties in the prison library, or some other work as nearly suited as possible to his physical condition and his previous stand ing in society. The Pennsylvania man, however, was sentenced by Judge Landis to twenty-two and one half years in solitary confinement.
 While the punishment may seem severe, there were doubtless reasons which prompted the judge to impose what is probably the maximum sentence. The man who wrecks a bank is a greater criminal than the train robber or the highwayman. His betrayal of trust brings sui fering and frequently financial ruin to many people. Yet, the defauter gets more public sympathy and may receive more leniency n court than the disciples of Jesse James, He does not rob with pistol in his hand and is there fore not actual potential murderer, but in other respects he may be worse criminal When his victims commit suicide he is in- directly murderer.
 The bandit who risks his life in a hazardous profession is entitled to more respect than hypocrite who loots bank.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
DISSECTION OF THE HEART
le Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The magnificent article by Dr. Barnwell in your Sunday issue is clear and definite ev- dence that he is a man of microscopic vision, man who sees things as they are and not as some people think they ought to be.
 Jesus of Nazareth knew, as no other man has ever known, the intracacies of the life of hu- manity, and above all the human heart was to Him open book, which He read off hand.
 He did not enforce the truth, nor seek to thrust His doctrines down the throat of any man.
 By gentle persuasion, here little and there little, as they were able to comprehend His meaning, He lead them tenderly step by step through the paths of life
 Never harsh with the poor sinner, He thun- dered His wrath at the self f-righteous, who would dominate the world by force, the weapon of Prussansm.
 "Whosoever will, let him come and drink of the water of life
 There are two classes of Bible students in the world today. Those who search the scriptures minutey to see how much evil they can find, and those who seek ever the ways that will gladden. the hearts of men by revealing the love of God and His sympathy with our weakness and our fallen natures.
 The pounding out of the word of life in ac- cents that smack of tyranny and wrath, with hideous punishments for our errors, does not vii bfate the hearts of men with love and rever- ence for the Master but rather are we made to hate and fear Him instead.
 "Love suffereth long and is kind" "llind to the just and the unjust in equal measure" "Love thinketh no evil"

ANOTHER BIG IMPROVEMENT
 IN CAR SERVICE

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has further improved it's service by placing all-steel "pay-within" cars on the North and South Highlands lines. The new cars are the latest in design and are constructed to provide trolley patrons with maximum of safety, comfort and convenience. They are ar ranged to eliminate unnecessary crowding and reduce delays in getting on and off, one factor which does more than anything else to cut down the running time on trolley lines in Birmingham
 By having separate entrance for all passen- gers and an exit used only by colored passen- gers on the rear platform, where the conductor is stationed, confusion is avoided the payment of fares can be made promptly and without any misunderstanding and it will not be necessary for the conductor to pass through the car. He can give all his time to watching the rear platform and the rear gate will~be under his control. This will eliminate the possibility of the gate being closed on passenger who is try ing to board a car. All white passengers will pass out through an exit on the front platform
 The new cars are handsome in appearance have spacious platforms and aisles and are strongly made. They will add considerably to the good service already being given it's pa- irons by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, which deserves to be con graduated for this additional improvement in it's equipment.

HOME PRODUCTS OF CONCRETE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 The excellent editorial in Thursdays Age Herald entitled, Large Department Store Sells Home Products" contained slight error, which originated in the advertisement quoted. That is, the garden boxes, benches, etc., handled by Loveman, Joseph Loeb are made by the Con crete Products company and not by the Cement Products company, which is an entierly separate concern. The similarity of names of the two erabe confusion
 l am sure that all Birmingham manufactur- CTS appreciate very much your valuable as sistance in boosting home products, and want to thank you especially for your kindness in calling attention to the products made by our company. Very truly yours,
 RL MORRISON, General sManager.

SPELLING OF SHOALS
itor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your columns, as well as those of most other papers in the country, full of details relat- ing to Muscle Shoals" and the proposals of Henry Ford for the development there
 All phases of the transaction are securing great attention, but the writer has yet to see anyone raise a question as to the orthography of the name.
 As it is being spelled, it means nothing, has no significance to connect it with the place and there is no apparent reason why rapids in the Tennessee river should be named from the fbrous tissues which effect the movement in an animal body. Whereas, there is a real reason why, as the writer understands from pioneer records in the case, that the shoals should have been named "Mussel" from the large num- Der of little shell fish of that name which were found on the rocks and in the shallows of the 20-mile stretch of river which forms the shoals"
 1nasmuch as the word "Muscle' used to des- ignate the place, has appeared for years in engineers report, acts of Congress, newspaper and other reports, there is probably ample ex- cuse for the misspeling today, but if, as un- doubtedly is the case, the place is to become one of the important industrial centers of America, is it not time to get the photographic record corrected and see that the name has a real signigcance in it's relation to the place as was intended by it's pioneer sponsors? Yours truly, CHARLES WOOD.

INTER-cLUBs COUNCIL ATTITUDE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of January 19 there was story about the meeting of the Inter-Clubs council which said, Recommendations that the various civic bodies of Birmingham cooperate with the Jefferson county board of revenue in its efforts to secure favorable action at the polls January 30 on the proposition of reissuing $3, ,000 000 worth of county road improvement bonds, etc., were passed yesterday by the Inter- Clubs coun- cil"
 The InterClubs council did not vote any such recommendations a. above set forth, but did recommend to the member clubs that an oppor- tunity be given a representative of the board of revenue to appear before each club to explain just what the county board desires to accom- plish so that the voters may be thoroughly in- formed.
 To correct what might cause a wrong impress sion, will you kindly give space to this conl- munication. Yours truly, c. N. WILEY,

 Regarding the freight rates for shipping ore from Mccarthy to Tacoma, Mr. Barrett under stood they were governed by the market price of copper and at the present price of that metal the rate is $17,50 per ton for high grade and $1O for low.
 The freight rates on mining machinery etc. from Seattle to Mccarthy were also brought to Mir. Stannard's S attention and he said that these rates would in time be adjusted in favor of the shipper, espe cially if the count ry developed more ore, thus giv- ing the Copper River & N. W.
