Portugal Files Pro- Z.
Portugal is the latest foreign gov
ernment to present representations
along practically the same lines as
the other nations. 1t is recalled in
that connection that Portugal single
handed was successful in inducing
the Norwegian government to lower
the bars IL had erected against the
importation CT foreign wines. threat
ening to retaliate by excluding from
Importation into Portugal the very
large amount of Norwegian dried and
salted fish which forms a large part
of the diet of the Portuguese.
There appears to have been no
agreement among the diplomatic body
so far as to just what course shall
be pursued if application of the new
regulations is not delayed. The Span
iSh government has merely suspended
the order it was about to promulgate
diverting its liners from American
ports entirely, and IL is assumed that
change may be carried out If the new
regulations are issued in the imme
diate future.
Want American Trade.
1t Is believed to be certain. how
ever, that the British ships will try
to fall into line with the Volstead
act. That there is no intention at
present of surrendering the i'm
portant American trade has been
clearly indicated by the Cunard
Steamship Company.
1t is understood that in the case
of the Cunard line passengers would
be allowed to take aboard at the
British port such liquors as they may
require for their individual consump-
ton. If any surplus remains upon
arrival at the American three-mile e
limit 1t would have to jettisoned
The diplomatic representatives of
none of the other powers are willing
to predict the complete abandonment
by their ships of American service
and the weight of opinion Is that
they will reluctantly decide to abide
by the new American regulations

SEE DELAY IN SHIP
RUM REGULATIONS
ENJOYS Anxiously Awaiting
Treasury Statement on
Three-MiIe Decision.

In the apparent belief that the
Treasury will apply strictly the Su-
preme Court edict against liquor on
foreign, ships, despite representations
from abroad. diplomatic representa-
tives of the maritime powers here are
anxiously awaiting decision as to
the date on which the new regula-
tions are to become effective.
Some of the interested diplomats
appear convinced that Treasury off,
cials will not adhere to the original
decision. to put the regulations into
effect June 10. In some quarters the
hope even Is expressed that they may
not be issued until Congress has had
an opportunity to take some action
to meet the objections of the foreign
powers. The impression has been
gained by some diplomats here that
the administration itself Is disposed
to recommend legislation amendatory
of the Volstead act and exempting
foreign ships in some respects from
it's application.
Envoys Consult Freely.
There have been numerous consul
tations between members of the STATS
of the various. embassies here on the
subject, and it now Is apparent that
the governments affected are acting
concurrently, though not Jointly.
Each has submitted its views separ-
ately. but the representations have
many points in common.
Two separate notes. 1t became
known today, have been submitted by
the Netherland legation. One deals
with the general principles of inter-
national maritime law, and the extent
of f.jurisdiction of state over foreign
vessels within its territorial waters

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
Mother of Thomas Mncaulay

Thomas Macaulay was the child of his mother"
 Thus wrote a famous biographer of another famous biographer, Thomas Macaulay, wizard of words, slinger of poisoned verbal arrows and builder of beautiful ireams. This man, chiefly known 70 the world through his Life of Samuel Johnson" was, according to historians, precisely like his mother in temperament, disposi- tion and physique.
 The mother was woman of great understanding and charm an exact contrast to her husband, man who understood nothing but hard and fast rules, and whose charm was conspicuous by it's ab- sence. The boy, even as a baby, showed tendencies to be like his mother. and as he grew up they became closer and closer ip spirit. He had several sisters, all of whom shared the mothers idolatry of him. He had a charming man ner, and his most strongly de- veloped characteristic was a love for play, an instinct inherited from and fostered by his mother. Because her husband had stead fastly drowned upon any manifes- tation of gayety, she suppressed her joyousness before him, and let 1t out with double vigor with her son.
 She was one of the rare mothers who can actually play games with their children. She dropped all sense of superiority, and the Ire member. I am your mother" atti- tude. She became a child herself and romped on the floor with him. Together they would invent games, such as fireman, in which Thomas would be the brave and noble hero. rescuing the beautiful and frightened damsel, imperson- ated by his mother. They would be partners in a pillow fight, with the sisters opposing, and do all sorts of other delightful things After he had reached maturity Macaulay often referred to his gloriously happy boyhood and his lovely mother.

THE BIRMINGHAM SCHOOLS

The statement of Dr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of public schools, that Birmingham has enrolled in the fifty eight public schools of this city the highest percentage of children of school age of any city of the United States, based on a comparison of pop ulation, is source of encouragement. It indicates constantly increased appreciation of education as a force for development. For many years indeed, until we'll up in the nineties- Birmingham was regarded by the out side world in the light of an expeli- ment. The district had not found itself either in the local realization of its potentialities, nor in the confi- dence of outsiders in it's future. That condition was outgrown years ago, and largely through the influence of edu- cation. No factor has contributed more generously to Birmingham's ad- vancement and success than have its schools.
 
 which is. even more encouraging, is that the Birmingham schools are earn estly striving to teach the pupils patriotism, civic pride and obedience to law. sThe more success the schools achieve in this field, the greater, bet ter and safer will be this community. These three principles constitute an education in themselves. If they be thoroughly instilled into the youth, there need be no doubt of the com munity's success, not only as an invit- ing field for business, but as a good place to live in and rear children; for, as Dr. Glenn said, Character is the basis of all education,% and nothing contributes more to the development of character than these three forces which the Birmingham schools are trying to teach their pupils.

DRY FORCES MERELY SLEEPING

Since the enactment of the eigh- teenth amendment little has been heard from the prohibition element of the population, but much has been heard from those who are restive un- der the restrictions of prohibition. So much has this been so that many have perhaps come to believe that na- tional sentiment has undergone a re- vulsion. and that the strong forces which brought about the ratification of the eighteenth amendment have ben dissipated. All this exterior, how ever, has been misleading. The "wets" are the ones whose toes have been stepped on, and they are the ones who have been raising the racket. The "drys" have been quiescent because theirs has been the victory.
 With the first threat against the amendment, and with the first attempt to retrace the nations steps back to the days of licensed liquor, the calm ness of the dry forces is broken and their leader lets it be known that whosoever tries to undo what has

CITY COMMISSION RESPONSIBLE

There is a, city ordinance which re- uuires restaurants, fruit stands, butch CT shops and groceries to screen all meats, fruits, vegetables and fresh foods offered for sale. The purpose of the ordinance is to prevent contam- ination of the food by flies. The or dinance is enforced, because, it is said, there is not a sufficient number of inspectors in the health department to cover the field, especially in con nection with their other duties. There is not enough money appropriated to this purpose to permit the hiring of additional inspectors. Consequently, the ordinance, like so many others, passed in haste and forgotten at leis- ure, is not enforced. Of course, mer- chants and food vendors solicitous about the health of their customers would protect them, ordinance or no ordinance, but tour of shops and eating-places Of the city would soon prove that such broadminded, far sighted proprietors are not so numer- ous as they might be. If more inspec- tors are needed for public health pro- lection, manifestly they should be pro- vided.
 All this talk about screening against flies, however, is more or less beside the point. Of course, if we must have flies, there should be required suit able precaution against danger from them; but the city commission should not forget that it is chiefly responsible for the presence of flies in such num- bers, because it not only maintains fly-breeding places of it's own but also permits private premises to offend in the same manner. The most economi- cal method of protecting the public health against fly-borne disease is to prevent the breeding of flies. This the city has not done, and this not even the health department has done to the full extent of it's ability, for surely the health board has the author ity to prevent public health nuisances except those maintained by the city.
 There are cities that have properly earned for themselves the name of "flyless town" They are cities whose inhabitants are to be congratulated. They are cities whose example is to be emulated. But let the people of Birmingham not allow themselves to be deceived for one moment. Flies are abundant in this city because the constituted authorities permit them to abound.
