POINCARE STAYS ON

The resignation of Premier Poin-
care of France, refused by President
Millerand, followed precedent. The
French senate had declined to sustain
the minister of justice in his charge
against twenty communist members ac-
cused of working counter to the gov
ernment's policy in the Ruhr, and the
cabinet accordingly took the vote as
indication that it had lost its leader
ship. President Millerand, however
appears to have his own notion about
such things, and told the premier that
everything was all right and that ne
should go ahead with his policy. This,
it seems, Poincare is doing. On his re-
turn Friday to the house of deputies
the whole assembly rose and cheered
him, the small wing of communists
alone displaying hostility. The cham
Der evidently inclines to the view that
it differed with the premier on minor
and not major question.
The trouble among the communists
that has been brewing throughout Eu-
rope for several years has broken out
in several widely separated localities,
the suburbs of Berlin. here and there
in the Ruhr and in France. The ac-
cusation is made in France that the
communist members of the house of
deputies are taking their orders direct
ly from the soviet Russia, and that
therefore they are menace to the
government. The widely scattered dis
turbances are not necessarily indica-
tive of the extent to which COM
munism has spread, or of communistic
strength. Rather the situation indi-
Gates that the communistic influence
is sporadic and so weak as to be able
to wreck violence only in spots. Firm
ness on the part of governments will
do more than any appearance of alarm
to avert more serious trouble. Poin-
care has chosen the hard trail in his
foreign policy, and therefore he should
be a man of iron when the inevitable
reaction comes.

BROOD PONDS FOR FISH

All the states in the East, North and
West are restocking their public
streams and lakes with fish. Alabama
is doing little or nothing in this broad
field Yet it is an avenue of conser-
walton that repays many times its cost.
Millions of fish are planted annually
by other states. Some operate as many
as a dozen hatcheries. All of them are
adding materially to their food supply
and opportunities for outdoor recrea-
ton through these restocking facilities.
The proposition to restock the public
waters in Alabama has been under
consideration by conservationists and
sportsmen for some time but so far lit
tie has been done in practical way.
There is strong sentiment through
out the state not only among sports
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-05-26

men, but among citizens generally who
realize the value of our splendid native
fish as a food product, for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of cultural
facilities whereby the public waters
may be kept teeming with selected va
rieties of fish. 'Hatcheries such as are
maintained by many other states are
costly. Moreover, the small pond sys-
tenn is generally admitted to be better
for the warm-water varieties of fish
which flourish in this climate, be-
cause natural spawning is better
adapted to them, and artificial re-
moval of their spawn usually kills the
brood fish.
These ponds need not be more than
an acre in size, should he shallow
enough to be seined with the small
mesh seine, and should be reduced as
nearly as possible to natural con-
ditions. Their cost is estimated at
$1,000 to $1,000 each. Expense of
maintenance is very little. The prop
osition which has met with almost
unanimous approval is to the effect
that Legislative provision be made for
nominal fishing license, the revenue
from which is to be used by the COM
missioner of conservation to defray
the cost of establishing and maintain
ing cultural stations in Alabama.
The strong support accorded this
proposition by citizens all over the
state is encouraging, in view of the
increasing need for restocking. The
plan holds out promise of large re-
turns, and will contribute to an i'm
portant part of the general conser-
walton program which happily is en-
listing the sympathy and support of
the people of Alabama.

FLORIDA COMES THROUGH

Florida, by voting to abolish the
convict lease system entirely from that
state, has joined the majority, but has
at the same time left Alabama out in
the cold as the only state in the Union
which defends or even tolerates the
system. Florida abolished the state
lease system several years ago, and
now sets next January l as the date
that shall see the end of the leasing
of county convtcts. More than half
of Alabama's counties lease their con-
victs, and the state is indefinitely COM
mitted to the horriblep ractice. The
people of Alabama, who utterly abhor
the system which they must still invol-
unfairly countenance, congratulate the
people of Florida upon their emanclpa-
ton from their disgrace. The people
of Alabama hope that by the time the
legislature meets again the people of
Florida will be able,to return the cour-
tesy.
In thed iscussions that have taken
place throughout the state during the
past few weeks, almost exclusive at
tention has been directed at the leas-
ing of state convicts, and Florida's
case has been held up as horrible ex-
ample, without stress being laid on
the fact that the outrages were COM
mitted on county convicts. When Ala
bama's legislature meets, therefore, the
people will expect it to make clean
sweep of the abomination, county and
state, in order that this whole matter
will not have to be threshed over on
some later occasion, but that the
whole practice in its entirety may be
wiped out at one stroke.

THE CONSOLING PIPE

There was something delicately hui
man in the brief letter President Hard
ing recently addressed to United
States Senator Harrison after the lat
ter's open defensive reply to some
folks who mildly rebuked the presi-
dents father for dancing jig at the
Confederate veterans reunion in New
Orleans. In the letter was a para
graph referring to the senator's at
tacks on the administration, which ap-
pealed to thousands of pipe-smokers
the country over. Said the president:
In your capacity of chief
trouble maker in the senate you
have said some things which
made me lay my newspaper down
and turn to fresh pipe of to-
bacco for consolation.
Devotees of the pipe, especially the
old-fashioned, long-stem clay recep-
tacle with it's cooling and soothing in
fluence, can understand something of
the chief executives feelings when he
penned that little picture. The pipe
has long been a trouble-dispeller, a
comfort-giver to man when bowed be-
meath the weight of business burdens
or public responsibilities. Even the
Redskin in his most savage moments
frequently yielded to the soothing eft,
fects of the great pipe of peace. Rob-
ert ]. Burdette. the famous humorist,
tucked away in his study, did much of

THE BUILDING ABATEMENT

Following the postponement of large
structural projects in New York on
account of mounting cost Of constrac-
ton and the spread of this movement
to other cities, iron and steel trade
journals call attention to the recent
falling off in orders for steel shapes
used in the building trades. For in
stance, structural steel awards fell
from $4,000 and $4,000 tons in two
previous weeks to 5000 tons. Orders
for concrete bars fell from 5000 to
1000 tons. While some of the decline
is seasonal, it is agreed by trade jour-
nails that much is due to the price
resisting campaign represented by the
postponements. There is nothing
alarming in this situation, but it points
unerringly to the readiness of those
who foot the bills for construction to
halt it as soon as prices become out of
reason.
It may also be held as fact proved
by experience that it is easier to stop
construction than it is to start it
again. The warning note has been
sounded in time for preventing fur

JOHN -DREAMS
Dreams of Escaping Gas

To dream that gas is escaping or
that someone or you yourself have
been asphyxiated foreshadows
physical dangers. In most cases
the prophecy applies to a minor
accident, such as a cut or frac-
ture. and it is accepted as a fact
by most dream interpreters. that
no amount of caution or preven-
ton will help to avert the danger.
The seriousness of the accident is
indicated by the amount of dis
comfort or by the degree of hor-
ror experienced by the dreamer.
In most cases these visions are so
vivid that they affect the physical
being of the dreamer to such an
extent that she is aroused from
her slumbers by the reflex action
of the dream picture upon her
heart. 1t therefore happens fire.
quently that these dreams are in
complete. the awakening coming
long before the dream has had an
opportunity to complete itself in
the dormant mind. Not infre-
quently the nature OF the accident
is foretold in the dream by the
meaning of certain accompanying
incidents. 1t will, therefore, be
wise for you to write me as many
of the details as possible, so that
I may be able, If this lies within
my powers. to reassure you and
assuage whatever fears may result
from the vision.

Every year the people of the
United States find it more diff
cult correctly to address letters.
There is the word of the postmas-
ter general, Harry S. New, as sup
port for that declaration
TT is a growing evil" In the
language of Mr.. New. He has
asked every postmaster in the
United States again to attempt to
instruct the public against what
he terms inadequate" addresses.
The dead letter office each year
receives 100000 pieces of mis-
directed mail. Directory service Is
necessary in practically 100000
additional cases.
The problem has become so pro-
digious that Mr.. New urges the
people to put on the envelope all
possible information.
IF you don't know the number
of a house and do know the

eral, write the street. You may
know the occupation of the adj

machinist,' barber house
maid 81
Unless conditions improve, the
postmaster general may urge you
to describe the person addressed
with particular attention to
height, weight and color of hair
and eyes.
Two main reasons are cited by
the postmaster general for the ne
cessity of the public becoming
educated" in the matter of prop
erly addressing mail.
The dead letter office is very
expensive tribute to inefficiency,
and the directory service Is even
more of a financial burden to the
government.
&c Furthermore" concludes Mr.
New. Improperly addressing mail
may be described as a fungus
growth sapping the roots of postal
efficiency"
1t is probably a hopeless job Mr..
New has undertaken. Records
prove that every postmaster gen
eral since Franklin has inveighed
against public carelessness in this
respect.
Still, it Is growing evil" new
ertheless, and the cost of the dead
letter office and directory service
annually increases.
