longer he is deprived of his car. Upon conviction for a second offense there is only recourse from a state-farm sentence. That is through the higher courts.
 Depriving a speeder of his car for several days seems to be effeetual in decreasing recklessness and traffic violations. If there is one thing per son who is inclined to speed would feel, it is to be deprived of his car. The more he suffers from this form of punishment, however, the greater the protection to the public. Since this plan has worked so successfully else where, it would seem to be worthy of serious consideration for the cities of Alabama. It is evident that speeding and violation of traffic laws can be suppressed only under treatment that will be felt by offenders. Small fines will have little or no effect upon those who are able and willing to pay the amounts for the privilege of doing IS they please, regardless of the rights and safety of others,

A DISTINGUISHED SCIENTIST

Birmingham today has as it's guest the distinguished young Canadian scientist, Dr. F. G. Banting. While his visit is purely professional, and ne is here as the guest of the Jefferson County Medical Society, the city is glad to welcome him and to have him explain the uses of the insulin treat ment for diabetes of which he was the discoverer. His discovery has revolu- Aionized the treatment of one of the worlds most dreaded diseases. Dr. Banting has insisted that the method be given every facility for use of the public without exploitation. He pat ented the process, and provided that all royalties upon it should be turned over to Toronto University. In recog- milton not only of his gallant war rec ord, but also of his service to hu- manity by the insulin discovery, the Dominion government granted him an annuity of $7,500. It is interesting to note that Birmingham is the first city outside Canada visited by Dr. Banting since the insulin treatment was dis lowered.

FOLLOWING UP CONFERENCE

Governors of two-thirds of the states who attended the law enforce ment conference at the White House recently pledged themselves to call two kinds of conferences at early dates looking to more effective cooperation between the states and the federal government for law enforcement, and especially the enforcement of the pro- hibition laws. One of these will he held by municipal, county and state officials, while the other will embrace the prosecuting attorneys of the va- rious counties of the state.
 While some of the governors attend ing the White House conference seemed to take the view that about all that can be done to enforce the prohibition laws had already been put into operation without as encouraging results as might have been hoped for. the majority of those present expressed a willingness to take further and more determined steps to the desired end. and manifested a view that hearty cooperation between the federal, state and local authorities might be relied on to improve the situation.
 One underlying impression seemed to mark the White House conference that there was more or less politics underlying it, whether or not the presi- dent so intended. This grew largely out of the gauntlet thrown down by Governor Pinchot to the president, whom the Pennsylvania executive in- sisted was directly responsible for the situation and was in duty bound to institute more drastic measures by the federal government to stop at the source the importation, manufacture and sale of liquors. Governor Pinchot charged the president with being largely responsible for violations of the prohibition laws, and insisted that the states could accomplish compara- lively little without more active CO., operation from the federal govern ment. Inasmuch as Governor Pinchot's state stands at the head of the list
 
 where prohibition laws are Haunted, and in view of the little that he him. self has done towards abolishing this situation in Pennsylvania, there is no wonder that his recent flare-up in connection with the prohibition situa- ton should be regarded largely in the light of a political move, especially when it is generally conceded that he is candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and has shown disposition to discount MT. Coolidge and his presidential aspirations wher- ever an opportunity arose. Under these circumstances the probable prac- tical results of the White House con- ference are not as promising as the strong friends and adherents of law enforcement might hope.

alleged hard times coming across the waters. Mr. Selfridge's own estab- lishment, he says, is doing an annual business of $25, 100000, and is making seven per cent. on the turnover. He is constructing an addition which will cost $1,p00, ,000. Such a structure would have cost $3,0O0,000 in 1919. When this is completed the annual turnover will be increased to $50,00O,- 900.
 MT. Selfridge cites two other large stores in London, one of which has business of six million pounds an- nually and the other of six million and five hundred thousand pounds. His reference to Paris is even more re- markable. ''There are five stores in Paris, ",he says, (which are doing over $100,000,000 business yearly. Ex- change doesn't make so much business, because all of this business is being transacted in Paris, where franc is just as good whether it is selling at five to the dollar or twenty to the dollar so long as it remains in Paris.'' In the same interview he says Mar shall Fields gross retail sales this year will amount to about $85, 100000, and Gimbel's will total to over $100,0O0,- 900. Mir. Selfridge thinks that the American stores will continue to pros- per in spite of the fact that in Amer ica it costs thirty per cent. to thirty five per cent. to do business. In Eng land it amounts to about eighteen to twenty per cent. The people of Eng land and France may be staggering under their tax burdens, but Mir. Sel- fridge's remarks lead to the inference that they still have considerable money to spend,

EAvoRING AMERICAN GRADING

It is anomalous that at time when khere is much talk of the United States kpsing control of world cotton produc- lion because of increased output by mher countries, Great Britain should hgree with the United States that the grade standards of this country be the basis of transactions, and that Great Britain now assumes the position of wishing to aid in having these Ameri- san standards adopted by all other bottom consuming nations of the world. hhis does not indicate that the produc- kon of this country is losing out in khe worlds marts.
 The failure to produce a big crop . the Southern states this year and nhe resulting high prices for the staple have been source of disappointme at ko British cotton spinners for several reasons, notably because the prices prevent them from restoring the mar ket in India possibly only through low priced cotton goods. The Lancashire spinners have been hard hit since the war because of the curtailment of their normal consuming markets, and it was natural that they should become active in obtaining means to getting cheaper cotton elsewhere. But in spite of the efforts in Egypt, India and South America, the crop in this country still governs the price and will no doubt continue to do so for long time. Realization of this fact is reflected by the willingness abroad to adopt American standard grading for the world.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
Mother of John Lothrop Motley

When Anna Lothrop went out to walk with her sweetheart, John Motley, people turned their heads and looked back at them. There goes the finest looking couple in the placer they said. There isn't a handsomer man than John Motley, and surely there isn't any where more beautiful girl than Anna Lothrop.
 Long after the young couple were married and had become Mir. and Mrs. Motley, people still turned their heads and looked at them. Beauty is a possession just as much as is money, and in that sense of the word, if in no other, MT. and Mrs. Motley were rich. Anna Lothrop, who became the mother of John L. Motley. one of the most famous of all American historians, the man whose book, "The Rise of the Dutch Republic" Is known to all civilized lands Anna Lothrop came from an old American family. Her ancestors had had narrow escapes from h. dians in the early days of from lltI WdIldTG. DOIIt Ol lIGin ildu taken refuge in a cellar and had most narrow escapes from death at the hands of savages in the stack of the town.
 Her father was a minister, Rev. Samuel Checkley. Proud of his descent, and especially proud of his traditions, the minister brought up his daughter to 8 love of the past. Perhaps that is why her son be- came such lover of history Perhaps the mothers stories had something to do with cultivating in that son love of all brave deeds.
 The Rev. Samuel grew old and welcomed a successor to his pulpit, Rev. John Motley. Thus Anna Lothrop, daughter of a minister, married minister. Together the father and mother trained their son, the mother having a loveli- ness of nature, nobility of bear ing, and personal beauty that deeply impressed the boy. In beauty of face and in beauty of soul Anna Lothrop Motley was greatly blessed.

DIRECT OBLIGATION
 RESTS ON PINCHOT
Memphis Commercial ApnealY

tMeiupllS SOumeTClal AppeaI)
 It is the business of Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania to stop the liquor traffic in that state. It is also the business of the na- tional government. Governor Pin chot cannot escape responsibility by shaking his fist at President Coolidge. The first thing he must do is to make an effort. After he has made an effort he may then by right call upon the national government. A brewery is usually as big as a block. It takes a big plant to make beer. Many brewe- ries have been running in PennsyI- vania at full tilt. Their beer is sold across the counters in Phila- delphia saloons. A lot more of it is running to New Jersey and New York. Beer is made around Scran- ton and Wilkes Barre. Governor Pinchot has a fine constabulary. To say that great state like Pennsylvania cannot stop the manufacture of beer for wholesale drinking purposes is. telling it to the marine.
 The whisky problem is more difficult. One can make whisky in a tea kettle. Pennsylvania has always clung to it's liuuor. The first rebellion in this country was a Pennsylvania whisky rebellion. If we remember right, Benjamin Franklin took a part in the effort to suppress the rebellion.
 Philadelphia is the most phar- asaical city in the United States. It protests that it is the most American city of all. For more than generation it's politics have been corrupt, it's bosses have been vicious, its dives have been nu- merous. But Philadelphia is dis erect. Its people make no great outcry. It is content with the outward appearance of responsibility and virtue. Its spirit of thrift is entirely willing to coin vice into profit.
 Pittsburg is about as tough, but 1t is more crude and vulgar than its sister. city. In Philadelphia all vice is covered under a great camouflage of responsibility and first-family stuff. ,..
 Governor Pinchot should offer to join forces with the federal government. He should approach President Coolidge in a co-opera- tive instead of critical way. To clean booze out of Pennsylvania will require the united efforts of both state and national govern ments. This thing of a governo, doing little himself and calling on somebody else is the shirking of a | responsibility. Governor Pinchot has had fine record as a public | citizen. We should be sorry to see him stain it by adopting the political tricks practiced by gov ernofs in many other states.

AGAIN THE DEADLY CROSSING

A grade crossing tragedy near Win Field, Alabama, Sunday cost five lives mhich will be added to the frightful Hotal already piled up so far this year. Such tragedies will continue until the people take up seriously the question Iof grade-crossing elimination through provisions for adequate safeguards. In rural sections the total elimination Gof the grade crossings is large task, but in cities and more congested cen- lters there is no excuse for their con- Itinued maintenance. People and rail roads alike realize the hazards. In Birmingham, for instance, everybody ragrees that the dangerous crossings should be abolished. It is, therefore, hard to understand the delay in get dng some definite action.
 Years ago the surveys were made. FThe greatest difficulties have been Isolved. The law gives necessary au- Ithority to the city to compel the build ling of viaducts and underpasses. Yet lno action is forthcoming. The people lsre told of conferences, meetings and letter writing. Meanwhile the cross |ings become more dangerous day after day. They are causing constantly in- ,creasing losses and inconvenience to the public. They create an immense burden upon business. As the death tolls increase citizens become more alarmed because of the menace.
 It is high time that the railroads, as we'll as the city authorities, should con sider the overwhelming public senti- ment for relief, and begin at once constructive work to remove situa- ton which has already become well nigh intolerable. What will the city commission do about it? That body as the representative municipal author ity has a definite duty to safeguard the public interests against a fragrant imposition.
