Birmingham's desire for needed laws was ignored by the legislators, who doubtless don't want this community to get too cocky over the fact that It pays large portion of the states ex- penses. Ignoring our urgent needs is one way of indicating our uninl- portance in the states political councils.

HOMES
FROM FIRE DANGER
Builders See Need Of Stop
ping Up FIues Created
by Vacant Spaces.

More and more home builders are
coming to see the importance Of provid-
ing their homes with fire-stopping ar.
rangements. The purpose of FIRE stop
ping is to cut Off the vertical fiues In a
building. which are made by the open
spaces between framing members. espe-
cially studs If these places are stopped
at the bottom with material which will
not burn a fire will not get into the fiues
or ducts and thus create a blaze be-
tween structural members.
The principle does not call for MAX
ing the wood less infiammable but for
restricting fire to definite limits, where
1t can be controlled to some extent un-
til the fire department comes.
One of the best ways to avoid fire In
the home is to be careful that no trash,
waste paper or other rubbish accumu-
lates in the basement, closets or attic.
Laundry should never be hung on elec-
trio wirings or over the kitchen range
The waste occasioned by fires within
American homes is appalling. A special
organization. the National Board Off
Fire Underwriters, has been set up to
reduce this waste. The organization
strongly recommends that fire-stopping
be used in all frame buildings.

position to buy against future needs
is yet discerntble--a natural result
OF recent price movements.
Country trade Is Of smaller volume
on account of farmers being largely
engaged in field work. Crop pros
poets are good nearly everywhere
and IL fair prices are obtained for
this years agricultural products
there Is no doubt that good coun-
try business will be transacted this
fall. Industrial consumers are slow
buyers, timbers and Grating material
being the items in largest demand.
The call for hard woods Is materially
larger than a month ago, but Is still
capable of big expansion. Few fac
tories have large or even fair stocks
on hand, and a big demand within
the next sixty days seems assured from
this cource as well as from retail inter-
ests.
Mill stocks in most instances are
unimproved. but as production has
been maintained considerably above
recent bookings and old order files
are being rapidly cleaned up there
are good prospects of a fair replen-
ishment before fall demand opens up.
Current pressure for new business is
less than It was a few weeks ago.
the alarm over future market de-
velopments then felt by many oper-
ators having disappeared. Most
manufacturers now seem content
with the opportunity to rebuild their
broken stocks. Prices, therefore, are
holding at last weeks level and the
opinion Is gaining that the next
change will be upward.

Therefore in home planning the study

The old notion that a kitchen had

steps are routed and tools grouped,
makes kitchen work not only less

FACIAL EXPRESSION

QUITE as much as his courteous

he says them that makes a mans POI
likeness truly effective. The only time
when your please" doesn't have to
be backed up by a kindly look in your
face Is when you are talking oyer the

that your tone of voice should carry
assurance of kindness. And 1t Is al
most impossible to speak In n pleas
amt tone without looking pleasant.
Try sometime for your own amuse-
ment 10 assume n "grouehy' express
sion and at the same time repeat some
such courteous expression as THANK
you very much" or You are very kind,
I'm sure" or ever please" in a thor
oughly amiable tone Of voice. Per-
haps you can do Ii but most persons
can't and it Is just as hard to speak in
n harsh or naughty or cantankerous
manner when your facial expression IL
entirely pleasant.
But In your desire to wear a we'll
disposed expression don't go TO the
extreme of having a smile that won't
come off. There are some people
who go about with this sort OF chron-
lie smile, who look as II the only way
they could endure the discomfort they
were enduring WAS by a heroic effort
TO smile. and of course that sort Of
expression makes other people uncom-
Portable. Then there Is the smile
that makes us feel hat the one who
wears 1t Is always amused in an aloof
sort of way at whatever we said or
did. The woman who bears that sort
of indelible smile-or grin. perhaps
Ii should be called-when she calls

One hundred dollars lax on each
pistol, revolver or firearm silencer
and ST on each cartridge for such pis-
tol or revolver is the substance of
a bill to be introduced at the next
session of congress and which il Is
claimed will be adopted by an over
whelming vote. This is not a tax
on guns now in possession. as a ret
roactive law is forbidden by the fed
eral constitution, but n upon the
sale, barter, exchange or giving away
of such guns, and a like tax of 81
each on each loaded cartridge and
so cents on each un1oaded n sold.
battered. exchanged or given away
There Is the further proviso that the
cartridges when manufactured must
be placed in packages of 30, 100. 800
or 1000 each.

istrate MeAdoo Of New York City and
was announced 4 short time ago at

OF course ii need not be said that
this is not designed as a tax or rev
enue law. nut one for the purpose of
con fseating and preventing the pos
session of pistols and cartridges en-
tirely. The federal constitution pro-
vides that the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall never be
infringed, but the federal supreme
court has held for more than half n
century that the states have a Ger
tain police power giving them the
right to abridge such right. which
they have done in various ways. scme
states, like New York, f~orbidding the
possession Of pistols entirely. Con-
fessedly the proposed law Is fer the
purpose Of multiplying this clause OF
the constitution.
The effect of the law would be to
deny the citizens the right IT, pro
tect their homes from burglars and
thoir persons at other times from
murder or highway robbery. Ii
would be no restraint whatever
against the robber or murderer, fer
these would feel that an investment
of 500 more than the cost of a gun
and $50 more than the cost of a box
of cartridges would be a reasonable
price for the monopoly given them
to carry and To use them for, in view
of the greatly increased returns they
would receive by having the victims
disarmed. ii would be a cheap license
