Ten thousand ve4ing nuisances

Ten thousand troubles try his soul
And violate his calm
They discomYnode his business tasks,
Modest and plague his play,
They ag1tate his quiet hours,

There's something to upset it.
He dare not call his goat his own,
For fear some one will get II.
But out Of all the wprri1nc1ts
That tend to rouse his ire.

As patching up q tire.

That one more tire is down.

But nothing beats his anguish when,

For when it's ninety in the shade,
With no shade to be found,
Just four good tires remaining,

DECISION ON STARTERS
 HELPS JlTNEY DRIVERS

Jitney drivers who contested the cGnstitutionality of the jitney ordi- nance enacted at recent meeting of the city commission scored a victory Wednesday when Judge Roger W. Snyder overruled motion of the city seeking to have dissolved the tenn porary injunction issued January 27 The decision of Judge Snyder was rendered after he had taken the case under advisement Saturday following argument of counsel for the city and the jitney operators.
 In view of the adverse ruling on the constitutionality of the ordinance by Judge Snyder the measure will be carried to the supreme court of Alabama for final decision, ". B. Clee, commissioner of public safety, and A c. Smith, jitney commissioner, stated.
 The section of the ordinance most severely attacked by the jitney men was that providing for the payment of a fee of 25 cents a day by each driver operating. This fee, under the provisions of the ordinance, Is paid to the starter and inspector on each line. It is claimed by city officials that approximately 95 per cent of the jitney operators of the city favor the ordinance and that the provision for a starter was included in the measure at their request City officials state that service on lines having starters and inspectors is superior tG that on lines Where no starters are employed. Jitney drivers of the South Highlands line, who attacked the measure de- clare that the employment of a starter creates unnecessary confus- ion and is useless. They aver that the starter begins ana quits work after and before the rush hours on the line.

NOTE IF ALARM |S SOUNDED IN TALK
 GIVEN BY DR. MOTT.
World Found to Be in Danger From International Sus- picion and Want of Unity
 Among Peoples

"The world today is in peril, and I am positively alarmed" declared pr. John R. Mott international secretary of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation, at a dinner held in the ban quet room of the Tutwiler hotel Wed nesday night. The dinner marked the conclusion of days program, which began with retreat held In the Sun day school rooms sof the First Meth odist church in the morning, attend ed by delegates from Tennessee, Mis- sissippi. Louisiana and Alabama
 Dr. Mott's evening address was on The World Situation" and he pre- sented masterly and statesmanlike discussion of conditions throughout the world, based upon 35 years Of constant travel.
 If you ask me what the situation today is I would say that there is an international feeling of suspicion and irritation and a want of funda- mental unity among nations.' said pr. Mott, this Is true today more than it has ever been in history. Eco- nomically, the present international situation is, as all discerning men know, impossible. National debts have risen from s4.000,000,000 to s43,- 000,600, ,000--a figure that no human mind can compass.
 "The physical condition of the world is tragic and pathetic. Throughout eastern, middle and southern Europe, Asia and the fringes of Africa the death tool from disease directly resulting from the war is greater than that in the coni- bined armies during the war period. Political distempers, bolshevism and ofb al where visible. And when I say bol- shevism I do not mean the superficial condemnation so frequently heaped upon it. I believe that one-nineteenth of bolshevism might well be prac- ticed by every honest Christian man in this country, for it includes the principles embodied in the American nation. 1 firmly believe, however, after having studied it's results at first hand that nineteen-twentiet&s of it should be rejected as socially insidious and inimical to best devel opment.
 Juvenile delinquency stalks over Europe-not only France, as certain dispatches have indicated--as never before. It is the sad but natural re- suit of having laid 11,000,000 fathers and older brothers in the ground.
 Tn all of this social and political cataclysm, however, I disagree from the much quoted French savant now in this country who says that all Flu rope is dying. But I do believe all Europe is sick. It is such sickness, however, as comes with new birth for the world is undergoing a re- creation. The world is in a more plas- tic state today than 1t has ever been but it will soon harden and settle into mold"
 Dr. Mott declared that it devolved upon the new generation, men be- tween IS and 30 years old. what the future of the world for a long time would be. He pointed out that this generation was "keenly dissatisfied with the past and nearly everything

CORNER STONE OF. MASONIC HOME |S. MPRESS|VELY LAID.
Grafton Is Delivered by H. C. CrelIy Before Many Dis tinguished Guests and
 Past Masters

Speaking on the accomplishments of the lodge, and giving brief out line of its history since it's inception over 100 years ago, Dr. II. c. Crelly delivered the oration of the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the new Masonic Home >on Wednes- day afternoon at 3 o'clock. The new and modern home is now under pro- cess of construction by Farrar lodge, A. F. x A. M., No. s, who only two years ago celebrated their one hun dredth anniversary.
 Many prominent Masons and a host of friends witnessed the regular Ma asonic ceremony used on all such occasions. the feature of which was the impressive sprinkling of the stone with corn wine and oil.
 pr. Ira Hawkins. pastor of Walker Memorial church, acted as chaplain. and Miss Elizabeth Salter carried the silver waiter containing the corn. wine and oil with which the stone was sprfnkled.
 An interesting incident brought to mind during the laying of the corner stone on Wednesday afternoon, was that the small silver trowel, with which the mortar was spread, has been the property of Farrar lodge for
 
 been returned to Birmingham by a prominent Mason, who discovered 1t somewhere in the east after it's theft during the civil war by federal troops. It is highly prized relic and much sentiment is attached to it's possession by members of the local | lodge
 Prominent among the Masons in attendance at the ceremony were Past Grand Masters Ben M. Jacobs and Judge Dan Green, and present Grand Master Julian Spearman of | the Alabama grand lodge.
 The new home is ebing erected at the corner of Broad street and Tus- caloosa avenue and when complete ed will be among the finest Masonic | homes in the south. It Is hoped that the finishing touches will all be done and the building ready for occupancy within the next 60 days

HEARERS ARE MOVED BY SCHUMANN-HEINk;;' CARVER ALSO PLEASES'

Mme. Ernestine Schumann-H -Heink's motherly personality and the perfec- tion of her art drew close her audi ence at the Jefferson theatre, We'd nesday night, when she appeared in concert, assisted by Charles Carver, splendid young basso, and Katharine Hoffman. about the best piano ac- companist who has appeared in Bir- minsham this season.
 Remarkable power and range which seem possible alone for Schu- mann Heink vied with personal purity and Sinterpretative genius in her performance. Her rem dition of Der Erlkonig" (Schu- bert), strikingly illustrated her abilities, as did Mary E. Tur- ner's "Cry of Ra h c l." This last number was so reeilngly inter- preted that it played heavily upon the emotions of the audience and the artist herself.
 Knowledge of German folksong possessed by Schumann- Heink is un- rivaled and she displayed this knowledge in group of better known, numbers among them the "Erlkonig." Others in this group, which took in almos.. every vocal possibility, were "Ich Liebe Dich" (Beethoven); 'Heidenroslein" (Schu- bert); "Weigenleid" (Brahms), and Spinncrliedchen' from the Reiman collection.
 Her opening numbers were won derfully well sung. Both were well known to the audience, especially Saint-Saens' beautiful aria from Samson ct Delilah" My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." Rossi's "Ah Rem dimi" sung in Italian, was an intro- duction tending to create the true atmosphere which predominates when Schumann- -Heink sings.
 Mime. Schumann- -Heink's other numbers were wonderfully effective. She was most generous with encores. good -naturedly smiling at her hear CTS when called back to the stage by prolonged and enthusiastic ap- plause. One of her encores. Liau- rance's Indian Love Song," was tenderly expressive.
 Charles Carver, basso, assisting artist. was a surprising treat. He has a most pleasing voice, vibrant and colorful, well-cultivated and musical. His rendition of Frank LaForges Sanctuary" was most ex- pressive and probably his best ef- fort. Pale Moon" dogan) was ex- cellently interpreted with all it's plaintive feeling. Rachmaninoff's Tn the Silence of the Night" was sung with spirit which seemed to recall the composer who not so many nights since appeared on the same stage. MT. Carver's encores, charm ingly sung, were well chosen. He was given an ovation which vied with that rendered Schumann- -Heink herself.
 At the piano, Katharine Hoffman. added if that were possible to the work of Mime. Schumann- -Heink and n herself into the spirit of the music and to sense the Interpretation of the artist.
 It is to be deplored that crowded house was not on hand to hear prob ably the best--at least the most hu- man musical offering of the entire season.-H. w. s.

TRY TO ESTABLISH
 COMMUNITY CHEST TO CHECK BEGG|N |NC'
Business Men Urged to Give Only to Solicitors Hav- ing Permits Waste in
 Giving DepIored

For the purpose of effecting full co-opers tion with the city welfare department in the establishment of community chest and reducing the charity and philanthro epic calls on the community to those who are worthy and should receive consideration and aid, the charity and philanthropic committee of tho Chamber of Com merce has written a letter to mem bers of the chamber requesting their refusal of charity to all persons and organizations except those indorsed by the department.
 The letter, which is being sent out today, is signed by members of the committee, to-wit: Joseph H. Love- nan, J. E. Bowron, D. II. Brown, w. w. Crawford, Jr.. J. w. Donnelley. M. V. M Robertson, Jr., II. J. Porter. IT, and Fred A. Culley.
 The business men of the community are earnestly requested not to give unless the solicitor shows a permit from the city. Under Q statute of the city It is unlawful to solicit without this permit. The business men are requested not only to refuse dona- tions to parties without permits, but to report said persons to the com mittee or to the city welfare depart ment, city hall. 4
 Enclosed in the letter is copy of resolution, to which each persons is asked to subscribe. The resolution not only incorporates the provisions mentioned, but the signer also obli- gates himself to make a double con tribution to the community chest for every one which he makes not in ac- cordance with the resolution.
 Speaking of the operations of systematized community chest in other cities, Manager Bum said: T have here copy of the report of re- suits obtained in Louisville. There not only were unworthy causes weeded out. but there were some causes which appealed for aid and were found to be adequately sup ported by other means. It is just as important to get our charity and philanthropy work on business basis as any other; otherwise we spend a lot of money with the intent of doing good which is wasted and we find good causes not properly supported"

ROTARIANS ARE TOLDI CIVILIZATION IS FAST FALLING INTO GR0UPS|

Modern civilization is fast resolv- ing Itself into group life as re- suit of the macnlneryized age in which the world lives, that is sup planting individualism," Dr. James S. Thomas, of Tuscaloosa, head of the extension division of the Uni versity of Alabama and district gov ernor of Rotary, declared in an ad- dress before the Birmingham Rotary club which celebrated its tenth an niversary at it's weekly luncheon Wednesday at the Tutwiler hotel. John c. Henley, Jr., one of the char ter members of the club presided at the meeting and recounted briefly the history of the organization since it's foundation. Officers of the club for the ensuing year were elected by unanimous vote of the members.
 "There is a conspiracy to make men unhappy" Dr. Thomas asserted. He attributed this to the intellec- tual and academic democracy abounding in the United States with out economic cemocracy. He cited advertisements which create an urge for things which cannot be afforded by certain classes as one ot the causes tending to make men dissat- isfied and unhappy.
 "The new civilization is group civ iiization and bloc civilization. Indi- yiduality and the needs of the indi- yidual are surrendering to the needs of groups. A survey of legislation in the United States in the past ten years disclosing the surprising fact that most of it is group legislation. The needs of the individual have not been considered.
 civilization IS being re-grouped around the things men do. Natlon- alities are disappearing and men are becoming restless. The machinery ized age is making nomads of us all
 MT. Thomas called upon members of the club to exert their influence in keeping individuality alive. He placed emphasis upon the Rotary spirit and asked that it be inculcated into everything done by members Of the club.
 The ball room of the hotel was decorated in honor of the anniver- sary meeting. A birthday cake. bearing ten candles. occupied the table in front of>the presiding offi- cer. As MT. Henley recited the prog ress of the club under each .presi- dent, he blew out candle until only one remained lighted. This was left for the club to grow on.' MT. Hem ley presided in the absence of Harry Wheelock, first president of the Bir- mingham club. The past presidents of the organization occupied seats at the speakers table while the charter members were seated at special ta- ble in the center of the room.
 w. c. Adams was elected president of the club. R. J. Williams was chosen vice president. Luther J.. Doty, secretary, J. H. Eddy, treasur- CT and D. T. Fiedelson, sergeant-at- arms. The following directors were elected: J. w. Donnelly. chairman; l..
