amass unneeded sums for spendthrifts to run through will get a breath of fresh air, Timber up their muscles, get in touch with "the life worth while, 7" and feel hundred times better from the experience.
 There is lesson to be learned from a trial of this kind: It is that there is something more in life than the race for the dollar. Strenuous scram- bles for accumulation far beyond the needs of the individual are largely waste unless this high-power effort can be put to needful service. Ten days of life such as the active scouts will lead during their annual encamp- ment will prove not only envigorating to the busy men, but will give them better perspective and bring them in touch with the boys, their hopes, ambitions and aspirations. This in itself is we'll worth the time devoted to the outing, and will bear valuable fruit in future.

WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE

Among the probable candidates for the Democratic nomination there is not one, with the possible exception of Governor Smith, who would defi- nitely permit himself to be aligned with the "wets." Even Governor Smith took the trouble to explain, when he signed the repeal of the Mullan-Gage enforcement act of New York, that he was not seeking to sub vert the eighteenth amendment, but merely to abolish law he considered absurd and impossible of enforcement. That New York has right to inter- pret the eighteenth amendment, and that New York will in all likelihood enact another enforcement code later, is admitted. MT. McAdoo is accepted without question as "dry," for the former secretary is on record with respect to this question.
 The Republicans have emphasized their support of the prohibition stat utes in order to create the inference that the Democrats would be found on the other side. Inasmuch as the eighteenth amendment is the product of a Democratic administration II e fallacy in the Republican reasoning IS at once apparent. Likewise, when MT. Underwood is assigned to leader ship among the "wets," there is s;mi- lar disregard of the record and the facts. MT. Underwood opposed the eighteenth amendment, holding that the question was state problem and that the amendment would be an in vasion of state rights. When the amendment became law, MT. Under wood recognized the authority of the constitution and voted for the final passage of the Volstead act, even though he argued against some of it's features which he considered needless and difficult of enforcement. As long as the amendment stands on the records, no influence will be able to induce MT. Underwood to be a party to Its floutlng.
 Thus it is quite clear that law en- forcement, which is emphasized in the Republican program, is taken as a matter of course by the opposing party. The question of prohibition will probably be discussed in every as pect, but that it will be a line of party division is beyond all probability, or likelihood.

MARKETING ALABAMA HAY

The cooperative hay-marketing as- sociation of the Alabama Farm Blu reau has proved success and should lead to further benefit to the mem- | bers. It has been shown that the producers netted $30,000 more for their hay last season than they would have received had they marketed in- dividually, this being clearly demon strated on comparison of prices re- ceived by those marketing individually and those selling through the associa- tion. The cost of handling the hay through the bureau was only one dol lar ton. The Alabama hay crop has become one of the states major farm products, ranking next to corn and cotton in total amount of money in- volved. The Alabama Johnson grass hay has been pronounced by govern ment experts superior in nourishing qualities to the celebrated timothy hay which has been brought into Ala bama in large quantities. Alabama alfalfa is the equal of the best West ern product.
 For years this Alabama hay did not receive the price deserved, because it had not been standardized and was not marketed in a uniform package and quality. The grading was done i'm perfectly and the same bale would often include several grades. This caused stock feeders to lack confi- dence in the Alabama product and they continued to purchase the other at higher prices because accustomed to it and because they knew what they were getting when they bought it. Co- operative marketing and standardiza. tion of Alabama hay has established a respect for it in the home market and that is why it has begun coming into it's own. Other Alabama farm products will be marketed successfully under the same methods, not other. wise

THE LIONS CLUB

The rapid rate at which civic or ganizations and luncheon clubs are increasing indicates that a need for them is felt by business men, and that they have function to perform which is not reached in any other manner. Undoubtedly, the luncheon clubs will find that their field of activity VI develop in accordance with the dili- gence, wisdom and sincerity with which they work it. It is coming to be recognized that large unwieldy club is not so desirable as several smaller clubs working in harmony, and often in cooperation to the same civic end. Therefore. Birmingham welcomes the formal organization of the Lions Club, believing that civic affairs are advanced materially by such clubs working earnestly towards that end.

WHEN MEN BECOME BOYS

A thousand or more "big guns" in business, professional life, educational and religious activities are soon go- ing to play boys for ten days with the Boy Scouts in the Palisades along the Hudson, and find out at first hand what it is to be young again. These men railroad magnates, bankers, publishers and busy money-makers in various fields-are going to "knock off" work for a little while and get back to na- ture to see how it feels. It will be the first time the big fellows, who have been encouraging and donating to the Boy Scouts movement, have attended the annual meeting to take active part in the program of outdoor events.
 It is a practical idea that may re- suit in much good to the patrons as well as to the direct beneficiaries of the movement. It will give these busy men a first-hand knowledge of the aims and purposes of the movement and the many fine results therefrom. The men who are wearing out their lives chasing the dollar in order to

JOHN-A KOREANS
Dreams of HeadIess Bodies

The dream interpreter who is told that a woman has a vision of one or more headless bodies knows that she has committed a treacherous act. This being so it Is not necessary for me, of course. to go into the details of manner, what it may refer to. The dreamer herself will know best what she has done to conjure up the unpleasant sight. However. these dreams are divided into two classes, and it is necessary for me to call your attention to the more particular meaning of each. In one class the headless bodies are perfectly quiet and seem to be- long to dead people. This means that only one or two persons are aware of the dreamer's guilt and that she may be absolutely as- sured of their confidence; so that she need not worry that her se- cret, whatever 1t may be. will be betrayed.
 The second class of these dreams shows the bodies either in full motion or partly so. indicat- ing that there is life in them This dream means that no matter how careful the person involved may conceal her doings, the truth will come to light and she will before long be confronted with the consequences of her actions. The dream is a distinct caution not to attempt a denial when faced with the accusation. The dreamer may better admit everything than wait for others to produce proof.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law
Nicolo Paganini

In Genoa, in Italy, little over a hundred years ago, there was a humble Italian who kept little shop, a tiny place that knew few customers and little money. Like most of his neighbors the shop keeper was fond of music, and played daily on the mandolin. He taught his little son how to finger the strings and produce soft music.
 The boy, Nicolo Paganini, learned music with utmost ease. It was as if he had inherited all his fathers ability and knowledge. Even the violin teachers whom his father hired with the scant money from the little shop found that they had little to teach. When Nicolo was eight years old he as- tonished teachers and father alike by writing an original violin sonata. By the time he was eleven he was playing in public. If it had not been for the poor storek eeper's sacrifices in giving the boy every opportunity to ad- vance, Nicolo might have remained as poor and as unknown as his parent. At sixteen he rewarded his father by scornfully running away from him, and by becoming dissipated sensualist and gam bier. He even had to sell his be- loved violin to pay a gambling debt.
 In spite of dissipation and pow erty Paganini was a marvellous musician. A man who had heard him play lent him beautiful old Guanerius violin. On this Paga- mini played so well that the man immediately gave him the priceless instrument. That violin today is one of the chief treasures of the city of Genoa, where Paganini was born.
 Everywhere that Paganini played he was hailed as the worlds greatest violinist. He had a skill in the use of strings that no one could equal. His work was brilliant and passionate in the extreme. He made the halls where he played re-echo to ap- plause, and be won many honors and vast sums of money. He con- tinued to lead reckless life and lost both health and money. He died at Nice in 1S49 at the age of fifty-eight. Washington Irving said that Paganini's violin was the product of magic, and there fore the sweetest violin in the world.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The ladies of the Underwood park board have asked me to thank you for the generous pub licity given the concert in Under wood park. The Age Herald shows such interest in everything that is of benefit to Birmingham that I am sure they must be in- terested in the growth of the parks in the city.
 We were so lately small town that it was hard to convince the people at large of the crying ne- cessity for play grounds and parks in the residence districts. So be- sides equipping these parks we have to educate the people to use and to appreciate them.

THERE IS NO ENHANCEMENT

: There is tendency on the part of
 foreign press correspondents to em- phasize all features of the news which may be interpreted as indicating a
 break in the entente between England and France. Recently it was stated 2 that Britain's new plans for a greatly increased air equipment and arma- ment were adopted primarily as a
 protection against French air devel- opment. The interpretation appears absurd on reflection, for all nations are giving more attention to develop ment of air forces than ever before, and it would be strange indeed if England did not try to be among the leaders in this new field. France has for years evidenced no apprehension over Britain's greatly superior navy, and it is probable that Britain feels no apprehension regarding France s reputed ambition to excel in aviation.
 Now there comes report to the eff Z feet that London will open separate DeSOlldllOIlS WlIH DcIllUy JUuS IuEIHeI widening the alleged breach between London and Paris. Inasmuch as Paris long since began separate reparations tactics, it is difficult to conceive of any special significance to be attached to the reported British intention of following suit. If London can accom- plish anything by direct negotiation with Berlin, well and good, but Paris, and all the world, know that it will be the first time since the war that such negotiations have been of any avail
 England is doubtless warranted ir looking to her own interests, but there ? is no reason to suppose that she would at the same time seek in any way tc thwart France. Indeed, such an at. tempt would be useless, for France holds the Ruhr, and that is the key to Germany's ability to pay. Now that there is a state of formal peace

HOW NEW ORLEANS DID IT

Report of the federal collector of customs shows that New Orleans easily retains her position as second port in | the country. The total customs col lections for the fiscal year just ended amounted to more than twenty-five million dollars, as against slightly over sixteen millions for the previous high record of the preceding year. It is not to be inferred that the ton mage increase was proportionate to the revenue increase, however, for the year just ended is the first under the new high tariff. Nevertheless, the growth of the port is astonishing and has attracted nationwide attention.
 The expanding business of the port of New Orleans is not surprising when one considers the factors in volved. In the first place, the friends of New Orleans have been busy for years in winning for that port an amazing network of rate preferentials and favors that have made it second only to New York in such inducements to tonnage. Next there came into vogue, during the various rail con- gestions and blockades, a new ten dency to route goods to the nearest convenient port. New Orleans has had such strategic location, and lies so noticeably at the convergence of both rail and water lines that the rout- ing of great tonnage her way has been inevitable.
 But the greatest appeal the port has made to commerce has been its prepa- ration to handle tonnage of any amount. Back of this is the wisdom of the leaders in planning for big commerce and in inducing both the municipality and the state to join in a comprehensive port development and equipment that has not been equalled anywhere else in the country. The vision has been fulfilled and the good sense of those who planned the port has been vindicated. It is the same vision that Is beheld by the people of Alabama, who recently, by hearty and cordial indorsement of the pro- gram of seaport development at Mo- bile, ordered the legislature to proceed to this momentous undertaking for the upbuilding of Alabama commerce and industry. There is no need of com pairing the possibilities at Mobile with the success at New Orleans, but Mo- bile has her field to serve and her op- portunity to handle tonnage which should be expanded to it's legitimate limits. Whether that expansion will make Mobile greater or less than New Orleans is beside the question. That it will make Alabama's seaport serve a widening patronage is not to be doubted. New Orleans has shown the way, and timorous indeed would be those who would hesitate to set forth on this great undertaking.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
The Mother of Gouverncur Morris

Gouverneur Morris was mem- Der of the continental congress. That body of daring men laid the foundation of the United States. He was one of the men who drew up the constitution. that great doc ument that was written with such wisdom that 1t has held its place, almost untouched. He was sent to Frence to represent the inter ests of the struggling country. In many ways he served the country in it's darkest days. Well indeed might Gouverneur Morris be friend of liberty. From his mother he had inherited a liberty loving strain. When Louis XIV of France was prosecuting those whose re- ligious faith did not meet with his approval many such people fled from France. Among them were the Gouverneurs, Huguenot refu- gees, people of talent and ability, and lovers of liberty. Rather than lose the liberty that they loved, they left their sunny land of France and made the long, dis agreeable voyage to America, then Oly a lew SlIus llllS SOiO- nies, beset with dangers from In- diahs as well as from a harsh cli- mate. Where the suburb of New York City now known as Roch- ellie stands, these French refugees established a thriving settlement. They named 1t Rochelle after the city of Rochelle in France. Here they continued to speak French, to teach French in their schools, and to follow French customs. They had, as 1t were, merely transferred bit of France to America. Lewis Morris, who mar ried the vivacious French girl daughter of the Gouverneurs, was descended from one of the of Aficers of Cromwell's liberty-lov ing army. He himself held the high position of judge of the vice admiralty court of New York. Living in the French settlement rich and prosperous, they never theless educated their son, Gou- verneur Morris, in French. It was a proud turn for the Gouverneurs when the American son went to France as minister of the United States.
