To The Editor Of The Age-Herald:
 I inclose short statement Cor publication. The matter embraced therein Is of great importance to this county, as the road referred also of great importance to the state at large, as 1t is to be built with state and federal aid funds
 Certain citizens of Shelby county have planned a new high way called Project No. 2, to run from Centerville to Montevallo, Calera and Columbiana. Several years ago the county issued about S242,000 worth of warrants; of this sum about s7o,000 was used to build a highway from Columbiana to Calera, and today the county Is paying interest on these war rants, and will continue to do so for years. This road is considered a fine highway and any county would be proud to have 1t. Pro- ject No. plans are on foot to scrap this magnificent road, or make a neighborhood road out of it by building a new road " It'll lllC DOIlOC0 OfAo n CANA Columbiana to Calera. The new road runs through the lowest ly- ing land between these points. A better project would be to build from Centerville to Montevallo, Calera, then use the new highway between Birmingham and Caler3 going to Varnons. five and one half miles. then east to Colum- biana. This project would serve a double purpose. as it would bring a large portion of the richest land in Shelby county, also a large population of the western part of Shelby county five and one-half miles nearer Columbiana, which would make it very convenient for them to attend court. The con struction cost between Varnons and ~Columbiana would be less than between Columbiana and Calera. D. S. LIGHTCAP,

JOHN-A-DREAMS
Dreams Of The Elusive Creotur

Dreams Of The Elusive Creature
 Whenever I receive letter from one of my readers telling me that in her dream she Vainly tried to catch a beast of any sort; a cat, dog, chicken, or any live creature, and that In trying to overtake 1t she ran until her breath became short, I know good deal more about the condition of her mind than she would perhaps be willing to tell me. The dream informs me that the man upon whom her df- fections are settled has become uncontrollable, that she Is no longer sure of him, that doubts have begun to enter her mind and that there are real indications that he Is trying to free himself from the bonds of love or those of married life.
 The dream Is by no means an and specific direction which, If the dreamer will only follow 1t with out considering consequences and without indulging in the hestita- tions which characterize the actions of so many women, will enable her not only to regain what she has begun to consider lost love, but also to free her mind of all suspicious and fears. Having had such vision the dreamer must make up her mind absolutely to deal as firmly with the man in question as though ne had no identity of his own, as though his life had been laid Into her hands for moulding, as though it were her sacred duty towards him and herself to impose her will upon him.
 If she does this, mindful of nothing but the necessity of hold ing his affections, of keeping him bound to her fate because, after all, therein lies his happiness as well as hers. she will in a very short while find that his straying thought are coming back to her, that he Is beginning to enjoy the renewed fetters she Is laying about his heart and that his re- .bellious spirit is becoming sub dued in the full realization that in this case at least, he Is not to be the master but the slave. know that 1t Is very difficult for many women to assert themselves to such an extent, but unless she who had this dream casts all doubts to the wind and unless she proceeds as though she were deal- ing with a child. she will only widen the gulf that exists between her and the man of her choice and before long whatever is left of his affection will have vanished and will never again be redeemable.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS
Amos J. Cummings
By Frederick Houk Law

In 1857 a band of more or less Iawless men-for they were act ing without other authority than of their own-invaded the Central American land of Nicaragua. tn- der their leader, an adventurer named William Walker, they took possession of the country, and seS about ruling it. With these soldiers of fortune, serving in a humble capacity, was a 16year- old boy who had been printer, Amos Cum mings. He was a strong, sturdy fellow, full of the spirit of adven- ture, and just at >the age when such a brilliant man IS the fill clustering Walker could fascinate him. With other soldiers of for tune, drawn from all lands, young Amos Cummings marched and fought in the tropic heat, and riske death for the sake of ad- venture.
 Amos Cummings had been born in a country town In New York, a little place of only two or three hundred inhabitants. Instead of planning to go to school or college he had to plan for work; so he entered the little printing office and began to set type when he was only lad of IS. The wander ing spirit took possession of him and he left his rural home and moved from state to state. Thus 1t was that at 16 he joined the fill clustering expedition led by Will liam Walker, a man of 33. Soon afterwards the youth again eX- changed the wandering life of n printer-for he was never satisfied to stay in one place--for the camp and the field of battle. He joined a regiment of New Jersey troops and gave brilliant service in ths Civil war, acting so bravely that he gained the Congressional Medal of Honor, a rare distinction.
 After the war he returned to his typesetting. Now. with experiences and practical knowledge, he be- came newspaper writer, and then an editor rising quickly to become editor of the New York Tribuno, | and at 2s editor of the New York Sun. He wrote as he had fougat. and he gained distinction as an editor as he had gained it on the battlefield. His fellow citizens elected him to congress when he was 46 years of age. There he used his matured ability to ex- cellent purpose and made himself a recognized national figure.
 He continued his early connec- tion with printing offices and usod 1 his Oen most frenchantIv harop,
 ing noted both as a writer and a speaker He might have risen still higher, for at all times during his life he showed the ability to make use of experience as a stepping stone to greater opportunities, but he died at the age of 61. His life was one of vigor, of action, and of increasing personality.

LECIONCIsoI

NAnudIuSla starr
 Hon. Lae Long of Butler says this is the best legislature Ala bama has ever had. We have no doubt the Honorable Lee thinks so. We believe the present legis- latuHeThass pitched its course on plane low enough for the dis- tinguished solon from Butler to appreciate. Judged from his stand point. the present legislature has made record that will be epocha | in the states history. We hone Mir. Long Is right. Our desire Is that this one shall be a thing apart, no more like 1t. Let the molds in which this one was cast be destroyed. Let history record that the legislature of 1923 came forth, legislated in due Leelongtan form, then moved on to oblivion rom whence let us hope it will not even contemplate return Journey. The Hon. Lee also paid homage to his compatriots more familiarly known as the Tax Dodgers league" who with the Honorable Lee assembled in Montgomery A year or so ago and resolutad against the Kilby program of taxation and went on record as being in favor of hitting the trail pack to low taxes and Increased appropriations which, figurative,y speaking, is another way of weld ing the wooden handle to the pewter spoon. Hon. Lee, in his speech delivered on the occasion when he rose to a point of per sonal privilege" and took the floor Tn veIbal onslaught on the Kilby administration while paying glow ing tribute to the acts of himself ana associates as the lawmakers for Alabama failed to state inst wherein the people have occasion TOT rejoicing because of remedial laws enacted. He left 1t for the deer peepul" to learn from ex- perlence just how much easier it Will be to pay taxes under the present revenue laws than 1t has been in the past and how much more we are to get in returu for our taxes than we got under the laws enacted when Kilbyism was Tn flower. We want to appear ap- preciative. We would like to join the Honorable Lee in apostrophis- ing the present legislature, and Is he had specified its salient poinrs perhaps we could have found something to our liking, and then 1t would have been a delight to have written an indorsement of It's record.

and Germany, instead of thwarting the French, is far more apt to lose the rich Ruhr region altogether, unless she soon manifests a sincere intention of paying her obligations without fur ther quibbling.
 / The effect of the abandonment of passive resistance can only be super ficial, for as yet the real object of the occupation has not been attained. Germany has not yet resumed repa- rations payments, nor has she made any apparent plan for considering ways and means of doing this. There is no reason to suppose that France will alter her plans in the slightest degree.
 It still remains an economic fac. that Germany's daily loss through tha situation in the Ruhr is costing her far more than the separations. It is not only her obligation, but it would b. good business sense for Germany tc make every endeavor to liquidate tAc reparations at the earliest possible date. As the situation now is, Ger many rests under the burden not only of her treaty obligations, but also ot her industrial and commercial ]. -aes due to the stagnation she herseA ha, brought on.

MORGAN COUNTS EXHIBIT

Morgan county is deservedly proud of the wide attention it's agricultural exhibit attracted at the Tennessee state fair at Nashville. As part of the fertile and productive Tennessee Val ley territory Morgan county has man Effested 8 commendable spirit in the development of it's opportunities. Not tonly Is the whole Tennessee Valley region noted for the quantity and quality of it's cotton, but it grows large and fine corn crops, livestock and other products. The Alabama exhibit at Nashville was especially ad- mired by competent critics and judges, and the Morgan county visitors were highly pleased at the showing. So attractive was this exhibit that ar [ engagements have been made to dis play 1t at the Georgia state fair in Atlanta. It Is interesting to note that visitors to the Tennessee state far from Ohio, which has a high reputa- ton as corn producer, were amazed at the fine corn grown in the Ten nessee Valley. Considering what that favored region is accomplishing, es- pecially in agricultural development,
 admirers of its spirit and achievement are already wondering what further progress it will make when the Muscle
 Shoals power is applied to the task of
 turning out in quantity fair-priced
 fertilizer for the use of Tennessee
 Valley farmers so near as to enjoy
 special freight rate advantages.

THE PARK COMMISSION

With enactment of the legislative measure creating g park board 1oE Birmingham and defining it's powers duties and functions, the city commis' sion has the responsibility of appaint- inc four members of the five to con- stitute the board. Commissioner liar rison being an ex-officio member under provision of the enabling act The law makes it possible for 'Birming- ham seriously to assume the long-neg- lected duty of providing and main taining permanent parks and play grounds which will contribute largely to the economic, hygienic, recreatlonaI and amusement interests of this rapidly growing city. Success of the project will depend very largely on the business capacity, character and public spirit of the boards personnel, since the law provides for a self-per- petuating body. Herein lies the pro- ject's keynote of achievement.
 In this connection definite re- sponsibility rests upon the city com mission. It has the power to make success or failure of the enterprise. If men of proved business ability, wide vision, high integrity and genuine pa triotic purpose are appointed as mem bers of the board, Birmingham will get a park system commensurate with the growth and needs of the city. Politics and every other consideration except that of fitness should be discarded. This is not a matter of political favor itism, indirect private interest, or per sonal popularity. Such influences as may seek to inject personal or poll tical consideration should be elimi- mated from the process of selection, and the sole purpose of efficiency and results kept in mind.
 Parks and playgrounds affect the welfare and interests of every resi- dent, and constitute an important com munity asset. Their establishment and maintenance are the labor of gen eration in permanent process of de- velopment. Only those equipped for this vitally important task are eligible for appointment. They should have the possible capacity and discretion consistent with the law and essential for the attainment of results. It were well to keep in mind that men who are most needed for this duty will not
 
 assume the responsibility involved If they are handicapped by municipal spirit and intent of the law under politics or otherwise in carrying out the which they operate. The courage, pa- triotism, sincerity and judgment of the city commission are called out in their selection of men of such vision, ca- pacity, character and public spirit as will command the confidence and CO., yoperation of the community.

The Mother Of Fenimore Cooper

The Mother Of Fenimore Cooper
 How would you like to be the mother of 12 children to live in the wilderness where miles upon miles of forests led away into the distance; where hands of possibly dangerous Indians roved at will; where neighbors were few; com forts scarce; and where you had to depend largely upon yourselt' How would you like to see five of your children, for whom you had gone down to the door of death, die in babyhood, without even a chance for life. largely because there was no proper medical help at hand! How would you like the knowledge that there were at hand r6 proper schools to which to send your children?
 We have so many comforts, so many luxuries. today that we have difficulty in understanding how people in former days managed to get along. Elizabeth Fenimore Cooper had all the experiences that have been suggested, She was woman of Swedish descent, strong and healthy, and full 0t courage When her husband, who had originally lived in Burlington, N. l., became owner of great pieces of land In the Susquehanna wilderness, she went along with him bravely, right into the heart of the great American forest. She helped her husband make his way, and rejoiced with him in 1799 when he built Otsego Hall, a prlncely mansion for that time and that place.
 She was & wonderful woman, that Elizabeth Fenimore! When the tim came she bravely sent her son, thb novelist to-be, off to AL bany tJ sehool--and Albany meant a long, long distance from home in those days! Whom we honor Feni more Cooper we can well afford to honor his mother Plso-the wom- an who gave him her own strong spirit!

veriest nonsense, and is resorted to only as a subterfuge to escape the re- sponsibility for having crippled the public revenues derived in the usual manner. On the whole, the 1egi5- lature has not measured up to its op- portunities, and this must be in large measure attributed, not to the major ity opinion of the members, but to the fact that many of the most inn portant committees appear to have been controlled by enemies of the pub lie welfare.
