though all thoroughfares are expect
ed to be passable by Thursday.
Reports from all sections of the
county declared that the condition
existing in Birmingham was uni

commissioner, while members of the
county board of revenue estimate
that roads can be made accessible to
traffic for $1,000. A crew of 70 men
and nine motor trucks were dis
patched to all suburbs of the city

pressed into service. at the earliest
possible time.
Crews from the county's seven
road camps began the work or clear

nue.. Members of the board of reve-
nue declared that it would require
three days to remove the trees thar

individual citizen to assist us in the
clearing of his immediate premises,
for only with their cooperation can
we have the streets and sidewalks
cleared in reasonable time. II
they will pile the branches and
other debris in the gutter. 1t Will be
a simple matter for the trucks

selves!"

THE AGE-HERALD
Reaaemer. Ala. Feb. 3

Industry and business were prac-
tically at a standstill throughout the
Bessemer district Monday as the
blizzard deprived the community of
power. The city lay under mantle
of ice throughout Monday and dam
age to trees, wires and crops Will
exact heavy toll. The monetary
loss alone at the mines and mills in
their enforced idleness will run into
several thousand dollars.
Only a few of the larger corpora
lions of the district were able to get
power. and all of the smaller plants
were practically put, cut of busi-
ness. Some of the larger companies
were able to substitute steam power,
when it was apparent that the cleo
trio current would be Of for long
period. Most of the mines on Red
mountain were unable to operate
while all the mills depending on di-
rect current were idle.
Candles are at a premium, and
during Sunday and Monday eve
nings bands of Industrious vendors
canvassed the residential section.
selling candles of all descriptions
and colors. The stores in the bust
ness section closed shortly after
o'clock with only two or three ex-
ceptions.
The schools were forced to close
at noon Monday, due to the fact
that the buildings were insufficient
ly heated and also on account of
poor attendance. Many of the teach
ers who had left town for the week
end last Friday. were unable to re-
port Monday. Practically the only
traffic between Bessemer and Bir-
,ir,cr p, q Is.

ing entirely out. of commission
Considerable damage to property
is reported as well as the destruc-
ton of hundreds of shade trees
about the city. At the city park
fully twenty of the finest trees were
ruined, the heavy coating of ice
breaking most of the upper limbs.
Civic affairs and society gather
ings were abandoned, and as several
were scheduled to occur Monday,
this will cause considerable confu-
sion.

Judge Eldredge on Wednesday sus-
pended sentence on Leo Donnelly pre-
viously sentenced to six months in the
county Jail, and Rose Loscalzo, SEN
fenced last week to 60 days in Jail.
Donnelly was sentenced a few
weeks ago, along with George R.
Hare, after being convicted of steal
ing an automobile at Ocean City last
summer.
Rose Loscelzo was n of those ar
rested in a raid on booze-selling joints
at Wildwood a few weeks ago. She
was in such nervous condition while
in Jail that, when DR.. H. Hurlburt
Tomlin, of Wildwood, vas summon
ed. he warned that if she were held
in Jail for the remainder of her SEN
tence, her mind would probably be
affected.
Donnelly is a young man, of i'm
pressive appearance. He was drunk
at the time he rode with his COM
panion Hare, in a stolen automobile
at Ocean City last year. Hare drove
the car. Donnelly had served six
weeks of the six months sentence i'm

That's what your father gets for

rundown house on it. Common people
are bound to take advantage of such
a situation, Your father should have
purchased that place too, Henry, in

claimed Mrs. Mason, with a touch of
irony, "Probably you have been over
to call on them"
"No,o l have not" replied Henry,
more ruefully. Il should be glad to
do so, though, if l thought Theda
would welcome me-"
Mrs. Mason's eyes flashed.
"Thedal Let me see, that's the
girl you were so fond of before l
stepped in and prevented your losing
your senses, wasn't it? Seems to
me she was your nurse when you
had that operation. So she has fol
lowed you out here in order to make
a match for herself, has she? That's
the way with nurses. They e
themselves about the hearts of their
patients, and the first thing you know
the patient is gone. Even social dis
tinctions are sometimes disregarded.
It seems to me a nurse should know
her place, the same as any other serv-
ant"
This time it was Henry's eyes that
flashed.
Mother" he said, with forced calm
ness, "you have the wrong idea" In
the first place, nurses are not serv-
ants. In the second place, it was
lot you that caused us to break up.
1t was Theda herself. She said she
never would marry me unless my faml-
ly approved. When | spoke to you
about it, of curse you dl%sapproved,
and that settled it. I'd have married
her anyhow, but she would not con-
sent, except under the conditions, she
mentioned. If she knew I was liv-
ing here I'm sure she would not have
bought that place.. She has no social
ambitions. I assure you. Such things
are as much a matter of Indifference
to her as they are towel to Inc.
I'd marry that girl now If / could get
you to sanction it and welcome her
into our family"

Just Common
People
By R. A BAKER.

g. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
Mrs. John Mason ran the house,
hold. She was the czarina of the
domain encircled by the hedge
that hid the p%alatial home, and her
subjects were her husband, her step
son Henry and her daughter Gloria.
Not that she had ruled with cruelty F;
far from 1t.
But Mrs. Mason had come of a
high-up social set and she brought
their ideas with her. John Mason had
democratic notions, but he was too
busy raking in the shekels to in
her have her way. Gloria would
grow up imbued with this class con-
seriousness and probably be a snob,
because she would be taught that
Difference was her due from the COM
mon herd. OF course she was too
young now to evidence any such ten
denotes, for she vas not quite twelve
months old, but her mother would
see to 1t that she became cognizant
of her high position in life.
Henry Mason was inclined, like his
father, to be-well, not exactly pie
beian, but you might say, free of
social letters. His father always had
been rich, but Henry had not con-
sidered that as changing his blood
from red to blue. In fact, he much
preferred the red sort. But Henry
believed in keeping peace, so he yielded
to his s%tepmother's suasions, or APP
peared to when about her.
One day while Gloria lay sleep
ing Mrs. Mason sat at a side win
dow and watched two persons walk
ing in the lot next door. She could
see them through the hedge and she
was shifting disdainfully. The two
persons were a motherly looking
woman and a pretty girl, rather plain
ly attired.
'"There are our new neighbors," OBJ
served Mrs. Mason with a toss of her
head. "They appear to be inspecting

. GOOD GOVERNOR HAD A DIS
GRACEFUL LEGISLATURE ON
HIS HANDS

-
The House of Assembly behaved
like a lot of schoolboys at the all
night session just before final adj
journment. It was a disgrace to the
State of New Jersey and it is said to
have been the worst exhibition of dis
order ever witnessed in the legisla-
ture. The Republican members who
have been at war and claiming bad
faith with each other, got into a
wrangle last Friday night that stop
ped only short of blows. One wild
Republican Assemblyman peeved to
the boiling point faced a group of
newspaper correspondents and shout
ed: "You can tell 'em all to go to
hell, and put that in your news
papers"
The truth is that a lot Of very
small men have gotten into the lower
House and the voters should get busy
and remedy matters. The business of
law-making is a serious business.
The members are sent there to per-
form public duties, not to make deals
and quarrelwith each other to the
fighting point. The remedy is older
men in the Assembly; those there
now are a lot of boisterous young
sters. A good many are aspiring
young lawyers, some without very
much principle. 1t is time to clean
them all out and send men to Tren-
ton with a serious purpose n a
modicum of common honesty.
No Governor of New Jersey has
ever welded such a manly and re-
lentless veto pen as has Governor
Silzer in acting upon the measures
passed by the last legislature. Many
of the measures were vicious, some
were silly and most of them were
useless. The Governor knows too
much about law, too much about
politics and has too high a sense of
honor to make into law the batch OF
Junk that was hurried through the
two houses in the last days of the
session. The worthiness of the pres
sent Governor and the worthlessness
of the recent legislature is illustra-
ted in no better way than by the
manner in which the Governor
welded his vetoing pen. The public
irrespective of party, holds Governor
Silzer in the highest esteem as a re-
ward for his conscientious and indie
pendent attitude during the first
year of his administration-Sea Isle
City Times.
