DANCING AT pERsHINc PIER
the Editor of The Age-HeraId.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I notice in your editorial on Wednesday, Birmingham Will Vote on the Dance Cues tion,' that you are trying to intimate that the expense and trouble of this campaign is brought on by the so-called "reformers," as you say, but want to remind you, sir, that the repre- sentatives of the people, elected by them, the city commissioners, voted this thing down twice, but you and the dancing crowd, of which you are sponsoring, are not satisfied, and you want to carry it to the polls. and we are going to meet you there.
 Again, you say that the dancing pavilion should be open. Well, as far as I know it is open now for anybody to use, or will be soon, but that is not the question before the people. The question is, shall the city of Birmingham go into the dance hall business and the tax payers will settle that issue at the polls.
 Then, again, say that we are interfering with clean and wholesome recreation. Say, MT. Editor, do not expose your intelligence to the people in that fashion by calling dancing clean and wholesome recreation, for to say the least of it, dancing is not recreation in any sense of the word, much less clean and wholesome. Re- spectfully yours, E. E. CAyALERI,
 Pastor Simpson Methodist Church.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
ITALIANS LOVE GALLI-cURcI

"Just few days ago I had an amusing perience," said Mrs. Richard F. Johnston. T had a number of the beautiful highly colored posters of Galli-Curci, and was out in the suburbs in my car, when it occurred to me that I would place one of them in a little store I happened to see. I went in and began to talk to the gentleman in charge, an Italian, and I found to m yamazement that he couldn't understand anything I said, while in turn was in just as embarrassing predicament be- cause I couldn't understand him. So in de- spair at not being able to make him realize that I wanted to put card in the window of his store, went back to my car and got one of the beautiful posters I showed it to the proprietor of the store and then pointed to the window, and as he saw the picture of Galli- Curci, he grabbed it frantically and hugged it to his heart, exclaiming, 'Galli-Coochi Gas he pronounced it, the real Italian way) zee ideal, zee sweet singer, zee great Italian soprano,' and he ran to the window and put the poster in the most conspicuous place. It was simple
 incident, but it just shows the adoration that Galli- Curci is held in by her countrymen, just as Caruso was, which is the greatest compli- ment that can be paid to any one."

To put it mildly, democrats are viewing Woodrow Wilson's recent gestures with mixed emotions.
 For pair of "outlaw" nations, Russia and Germany seem to be doing pretty well at Genoa.
 The Alabama man who drank a gallon of been and then shot himself probably made it at home.
 Perhaps the point Senator Reed wants to make is that MT. Wilson once thought well of him.
  New Orleans has just had gangsters' battle that would have done credit to New York.

THE VAMPIRE

By Rudyard Kipling. A fool there was and he made his prayer
 Gwen as you and ID To rag and bone and hank of hair eve called her the woman who did not care). But the fool he called her his lady fair
 Gwen as you and ID Oh, the years we waste and the tears we waste And the work of our head and hand Belong to the who did not know (And now we know that she never could know) And did not understand. A fool there was and his goods he spent
 (Even as you and ID Honor and faith and sure intent (And it wasn't the least what the lady meant). But fool must follow his natural bent
 Gwen as you and ID Oh, the toll we lost and the sport we lost: And the excellent things we planned, Belong to the woman who didn't know why (And now we know she never knew why).. And did not understand. The fool was stripped to his foolish hide

WHAT AMERICAN RELIEF HAS
 DONE FOR RUSSIA

The American relief administration has the famine in Russia under control. In the rush of events we may have forgotten that this humane work was still going on in an afflicted country. Thanks to the experience acquired in . other parts of Europe, it was done in a way to get the best results, by the efficient methods which Herbert Hoover has put into philan- thropy.
 In the years to come, when humanity thinks of the World war, the generosity of the Amer ican people will be remembered with gratitude Maybe we will be given full credit for helping to wrest victory from militant Germany, but long after the military heroes are gone, stories will be told of American relief kitchens and the men and women who have literally saved millions of people in Europe Children will grow up and reach old age who will owe their lives to the food sent from America, and dis tributed by American relief workers. That is true, even of Germany.
 We did well in battle, but we have done bet- ter in philanthropy that knows no foe. One may justly feel proud of country that is so rich and yet so generous.
 4 The time is coming when America and Russia will resume diplomatic relations. They have never ceased to be friends. When Europe stops quarreling and all nations settle down to carry on the worlds business, the helping hand America extended to Russia, in spite of the bol- shevik government will strengthen the friend ship between this country and the new Rus sia that will emerge from nightmare of polit- icsl oppression and economic paralysis-

GERMANY AND RUSSIA

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 MT. Brisbane is seeing the future outcome of the Russo-German alliance. If Germany sue ceeds, "God and r. slogan will be the watch word on the Rhine in less than 10 years. What is prevent them?
 If American capital and interests wo- Id to- day endeavor to form trade alliance with Russia, red, anti-red and the neutral Germany would have no influence over the stricken people.
 Germany is showing it's scars to Russia and both are exchanging words of consolation. No wonder they are getting on friendly terms. Mis- cry loves company.
 It is time America was trying to do some thing in obtaining that vast territory for its trade expansion. Germany in very few days will, by aid of Russian raw products, compete with every civilized nation.
 Are we too satisfied to exert our efforts to- ward that end? KNUT HAMSUN, JR.

JEWELLERS COMING

Birmingham has had her share of conven- tions, including dentists, doctors and teachers, said Reid Lawson, "but the jewellers of Ala bama will swarm down on the city about the last of June for their annual gathering.
 "As president of the state association I am already making arrangements for the meet. Leading jewellers from all over the state will be present and in addition we expect to have some distinguished guests from the east. We have held our conventions here before, and the city seems to be favorite place for such an assembly,"

FAvoRs CITY MANAGER

q would like to see the city manager plan of government tried out" said A. J. Thomas, local attorney. "It combines the desirable fea- lures of both the aldermanic and city com mission forms of government and has proved a success wherever it has been tried out.
 "It seems that the affairs of city should be run as Is the business of corporation, which has president and board of directors, The city manager is the president of the city and the city council is the board of directors. With a salary sufficiently large a of the first class can be secured as city manager. He should then be given wide discretion in the administration of the affairs of the munich pality so long as he is backed up by the city council"

 "Yes," said MT. Cobbles. "He was candi- date for something or other"
 Didn't you find out what office he was seeking?"
 ''Well he did say, but it kinder slipped my mind after he unloosed tn flood gates of his eloquence. gathered that if he wasn't elected tn whole bloomin' country would go to wrack an ruin, but whether he was runnin' for Pres ident, tn United States Senate or constable of Beat IS is more than I can tell you"

"Those who really want to fish scientifically and build up good fishing record are advised to read the scientific literature the art by Judge Edmund H. Dryer, referee in bank ruptcy," said Jim c. Smith.
 "The judge has all the dope in Fishing Tackle Kit and Equipment and the latest out on the use of the reel, rod and fly. An interesting fact is disclosed in one of these pamphlets which states that the introduction of fishing tackle came just 100 years ago in New York"

MT. Melton was member of the class of 92 at Howard college, and while here this time called at The Age-Herald office to comment on the quality of the paper now being published.

CIVIC ACHIEVEMENT

"We think in the building of the new home of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank we have achieved something worth while archi- tecturally," said J. H. Sachs of the firm of Day & Sachs, contractors, who had charge of the construction of the building Although there are similar buildnge in existence, 1 doubt that there is one like it in the south, and if so it is not nearly so complete.
 The floor space of this building is very large, comparatively speaking, one on the outside would perhaps not guess how big it really is without examining the inside"

PIGS DESTROYED DoDO

New York.-"As dead as the 'dodo'" is a common. expression, but few know what manner of bird the dodo was or what drove it from the face of the earth. The dodo was large bird, with huge beak and useless little wings. Portuguese and Dutch sailors found it on the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean during the sixteenth century. It was so stupid that the Portuguese named it "doudo," simpleton. Pigs introduced into the island by the Europeans de- stroyed it's eggs and young and it became ex- tinct in the seventeenth century.

but one have exceeded their budgets. The tax payers of Birmingham and the citizens who elected the present commission to office will soon begin to ask some pointed questions.
 Yesterday President McLendon sent letters to three commissioners warning them that they must curtaf their expenditures or run the risk of impeachment.
 Mir. McLendon as the head of the city gov ernment is responsible for it's financial man agement or mismanagement. Writing letters to other members of the commission Is not the way to give Birmingham an efficient business administration. It is MT. McLendon's duty to take charge of the situation and exert his au- thority as president of the commission. Passing the buck" won't do.
 The business of city as large as Birming- ham cannot be run in such haphazard fashion without leading to serious consequences.

''You lynched the wrong mani"
 'Yes," said the chairman of the vigilance committee. "Drat the luck! We are on our way now to apologize to the feller's widow"
 ''What good will that do?"

I've been requested to write an epitaph to go on the tombstone of my favorite bootlegger, who died the other day." remarked MT. Jagsby.

TO WIDEN MARKET OF THE SWEET POTATO

The Farm bureau proposes organization of a cooperative sweet potato association, with a pool of 750,00o bushels, conducted along the same lines as hay and watermelon cooperative organizations. By having a pool of that size expert marketing and advertising would be potatoes large buyers would become interested. because they could be guaranteed a contir- uous supply.
 The plan is feasible and sound. forward step was taken in the sweet potato industry when curing houses began to dot the farms of the state and the sweet potato was brought into the spring markets. Organized marketing is the next step.
 Not only marketing, but advertising is re- quired for expanding the use of the sweet po- tato. Just as new recipes for raisins were dis covered and made known to the housewife, 50 can the sweet potato be popularized through out the nation, especially in the east and north. Texas has succeeded with her potato, onion, hay and fruit marketing cooperative asso-
