IRISH PARLIAMENT AT WORK
ON CONSTITUTION

Good news comes from Ireland. Smoth and
rapid progress is being made on the draft of
the constitution. Clause XVII, making the
oath of allegiance to the British crown obliga-
tory upon all members of the Free State Par
lament, which conforms to the terms of the
Anglo-Irish treaty negotiated in London by
Griffith and Collins, was adopted Tuesday IN
its original form by an overwhelming ma
3ority.
Laborites and opponents Of the treaty were
debate which preceded adoption indicates that
the rest Of the constitution will have easy sail
ing. In fact, the last serious obstacle is be-
lieved to have been passed and the constitution
Win probably be ready for submission to the
British Parliament for ratification at its au-
tumn session..
The situation in Ireland has apparently
much improved during recent weeks. Sanity
seems to have won the day. The turbulent mi
nority is realizing the futility of fighting the
Free State any longer. The worst is over and
the Irish people are showing ability to set
their house in order which arouses happy an
ticipations for their political future.
The Irish people who have been SO conspic-
uously successful as politicians and leaders in
ether land than their own may be depended
on to use their talents to an equal, if not
greater degree, in giving the Irish Free State
= model government.

HOME RUNS THAT ARE TWo-BAsE HITS

From the Chicago News.
While there has been much public interest in
the home-run race among certain batters in the
big leagues this season, the real leaders of bass
ball realize that, because of the conditions at
some of the parks, home runs have become en-
tirely too common and the race is largely mean
ingless.
To be really interesting home run should
only when the batter knocks the ball so far
that can run around the base lines before
the opposing players throw it back to the home
plate. There is nothing thrilling in seeing
batter knock the ball over ''short fence" and
then canter around the bases in leisurely
way
estate and the average club owners desire to
crowd in all the seating capacity possible, some
of the big league parks are ridiculously small,
and many a fly that would be an easy out on
a sufficiently roony field falls safely into the
bleachers or drops over the fence to be scored
as home run Teams on whose home grounds
the boundary walls are too close to the plate
have an advantage over teams whose hons
grounds are large enough to give the fielders
a proper chance.
To remove this inequality, in part, at least,
it is proposed to place marks on all inclosing
bleachers, grand stands or boundary fences that
are not suitable distance from the home plate
and to allow only two-base or three-base hits on
balls driven between those marks and the foul
lines and home runs only for hits that go over
farther down the field.
That arrangement would make home runs
mean something more than accidental pokes
over short fence Therefore it would i'm
prove the game.

FAIR CROWDS ORDERLY

80 far the crowds attending the state fair
have been the most orderly in years, and there
are less instances of drunkenness than have
witnessed in the history of my attendance at
the fair grounds" said Sergt. W. w. Brent,
who is in charge of the officers stationed on
the grounds. 81 have not seen one case of
drunkenness as yet, and only one serious ac-
cident has been reported. Several minor &C
cidents have been reported, but these were
given medical attention at the first aid sta
ton, and all were allowed to leave shortly
after admittance. There are three more days
of the fair and the largest crowds are yet to
attend but with careful watchfulness on the
part of the officers we hope to go through the
next three days with as much success as with
the first three"

THE LIGHT OF THE STARS

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The night is come, but not too soon;
And sinking silently,
All silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.
There is no light in earth or heaven
But the cold light of stars;
And the first watch of night is given
To the red planet Mars.
Is it the tender star of love?
The star of love and dreams?
Oh no! From that blue tent above
A hero's armor CLEANS.
And earnest thoughts within me rise,
When / behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield of that red star.
o star of strength! see thee stand
And smile upon my pain;
Thou beckonest with thy mailed hand,
And I am strong again.
Within my breast there is no.light
But the cold light of stars;
| give the first watch of the night
To the red planet Mars.
The star of the unconquered will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm, and self possessed.
And thou, too, whoso'er thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
AS one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.
Oh, fear not in world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime . thing it is
To suffer and be strona-

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
OPPORTUNITY FOR BIRMINGHAM

"The American Legion convention in New
Orleans this month will be fine oppor-
tunity for Birmingham and Alabama to show
up before the nation in brilliant colors," said
Arthur Greenwood
1.-THE Alabama delegation will lead the gi-
gantic parade which will be staged there. This
is due to the fact that she is fortunately ahead
of every other state in the union alphabet
ically.
IAN idea of the immensely of the adver
Using that this will afford Birmingham and
the state can be gained by remembering the
size of the great parade that was held in
Kansas City at the last convention. There
were some 5000 legionnaires in this parade,
which was seven miles long. It took three
and half hours for it to pass, and it went
through all the principal streets of Kansas
City, with Alabama at the head. There were
$50 bands in the parade, and every time the
march halted for few moments, which was
about once block, the Alabama band struck
up Dixie"
"There will be an even greater opportunity
for Alabama at New Orleans, for we will be
able to have more representatives than we
had at Kansas City, and also the entire south
land will be acting hosts to the rest of the
country a scale that it has Snever been
able to do hitherto, and may not have an OPP
portunity to do again in a long time.
"What l am getting to is this: That Ala
bama ought to have a band at that parade.
Moreover, she ought to have band from Ala
bama. This is an opportunity that comes to
no other state in the union-that of leading
an army of $4,000 splendid Young veterans
of the greatest of history through the
streets of the south's largest metropolis. What
ever money is spent in sending a band there
will be amply repaid, and I hope Birmng
ham and Alabama will see that one is sent

She tripped into bank one day
To cash check her purse inside;
The teller asked, as was his way,
If she could be identified.

Reveal birthmark on her back.

MANY REQUESTS FOR STORY

II enjoyed very much reading Miss Halls
excellent story of the history of the Birning-
ham Humane society, which appeared in The
Age-Herald recently said Mrs. W. N. Wood,
president of the society.
at is interesting to know that I have re-
ceived many requests for copies of the article,
and l have sent out more than a dozen al
ready. Many requests have come from other
states, and l have also sent one to my little
war orphan in France. The story contained
my own picture, and since this little orphan
had not had my picture and wanted one,
sent it to her for that reason.
CAS- story of the society, Miss Halls ar
ticle was most interesting and instructive, and
l appreciate it both personally and officially"
