 There are Parisian women who gladly pay both. The lashes are sewn into the edges of the lids by a deft surgeon. and take root there after about 20 days. Seen close at hand. they show no scar or rim around the lid to Ibetray the surgeons touches.

NOT A NEWSPAPER

A four-page sheet entitled "Jack Walton's Paper" is being issued at Oklahoma City. It is luridly made up with "box-car" headlines and is de- voted to the publication of Governor Walton's side of his political activities which eliminated in his repudiation at the polls, his suspension as governor and his impeachment. It will be re- called that Walton some time ago an- nounced that he would publish paper giving "inside" information about conditions that led to the proceedings against him. He claimed that the newspapers in Oklahoma were unfair to him and did not print the facts. The Oklahoma newspapers probably reflected public sentiment before and during the Walton turmoil, and pub lished the facts correctly. "Jack Wal toms Paper" will have little influence because it is not newspaper, but a personal organ published in behalf of one man, and giving only his side of a controversy in which the people plain ly showed that they were tired of him and his official policies. The public feels little interest in personal organ masquerading as a newspaper, hav- ing learned by experience that such publications are worthy of little con- sideration.

MUsSOLINPs SUCCESS

Although as an international diplo- mat Mussolini has not shone,' and in spite of the fiasco of his ultimatum to the Greeks, yet as ruler of Italy he has been successful. He organized the fascist who saved Italy from bol- shevism and now he has won the united support of almost all Italians. Labor troubles were rife when he as stunned power, strikes were continuous, industry was paralyzed and the eco- homie condition of the country was serious. Now there are no strikes, workers are contented, industry throbs and the budget has been reduced one hundred and twenty-eight million dol lars before his first year is up.
 Lloyd Morris, writing in The Forum, gives this terse summary of Musso- lini's achievements: "Mussolini's gos- pei of efficiency and his method of consolidation have worked admirable results in the administration. His reorganization of the government de- partments has eliminated many super fluous bureaus and legions of em- ployes, with the result that every member of the government service is now working under pressure" This reads almost like the fruits of current editorial advice to an American presi- dent. The trouble is that American presidents are handicapped by the spells system, whereas, ''it is charac- teristic of Mussolini to choose techni- cal experts as members of his cabi- net, almost without reference to their political opinions and previous politi- cal experience. His minister of finance is internationally famous as philoso- pher, and perhaps the most eminent of contemporary specialists in peda- gogy."
 And so one might continue to emu merate Mussolini's methods. They stand the acid test-they produce the results. The freedom Mussolini en- joys from political partisanship is a

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS Nv Frederick Houk Law
Karl GoIdmark

A dingy-looking school teacher sat in a poorly furnished Hunga- rian schoolroom in 1S44 and talked earnestly to a small boy. There was something comical about the tall, lank man, and the little fel- low, who seemed to be about ten years of age. Neither one looked as if he had enough to eat; neither one looked as if he had ever had a decent suit of clothes. Never theless, there they sat, very earn estly talking about fame.
 Then Karl Goldmark, son of the Jewish cantor of the little place, put a homemade flute to his lips and began to play softly. The long legged school teacher leaned back and listened with a smile. He said more to his little Jewish pupil. and again urged him 10 study music all he could. You have the gift that have not" he said sadly.
 The next day the teacher visited the Jewish boys home and offered to pay out of his own money if the little fellow would go to a good teacher of music. Karl went to the music school and there full filled every ambition the good teacher had for him. He became the idol of the school, and played in public in way that won great applause. His skill won him his way to still better school. A dozen years later the school teach CT made long journey to Vienna and there heard his former pupil, now grown into a young man of twenty five. lead in concert made up of the young mans own compositions. Before the master reached old age he heard whole opera, The Queen. of Sheba," composed by Karl Goldmark. He heard the echoes of the fame of the great composer, who now was known all over Europe. Karl Goldmark had worked, and worked hard. He wrote beautiful overtures, operas, compositions of all kinds.
 In the midst of all his fame, however, he treasured the memory of those days when he had played on a flute that he had cut from the bushes, and most of all he treasured the memory of the sim ple-minded teacher who had not only encouraged him, but who had also sacrificed his own poor earnings for a penniless little boy.

HOW PLANS GO AWRY
By wicks wamboldt

There existed in the land of Dixie two full-blood brothers who both had the same father and mother, yet one of them was known as Ballingford Carter and the other bore the cognomen of Carter Ballingford-a perplexing situation. It caused many argu- ments, many disputes. and men should this strange complication exist? Stating it plainly, it was all the result of an old lady's ann bition. The mother of these boys was formerly Marjorie Ealing ford. She was the last of her family. Always since she could remember she had heard the re- gret voiced that she was not a boy that the family name might be maintained. She grew up with this regret firmly fixed in her conscience. She never ceased to grieve over the fact that when she married the name of Ealing ford would become extinct. She married a MT. Carter. The first thing she did after her son was born was to persuade his father to name him "Ballingford" in or der that her family name might at least be preserved in a second hand way. Later there was an- other son, who was named Au- gustus.
 At length Mrs. Carter. at an advanced age. lay on her death bed. Even then she could not lose sight of the thwarted desire of her family and herself. She called Augustus to her and inn plored that after she passed away he would adopt the surname of Ballingford. Not wishing to deny the last request of his mother. he promised. By an act of the leg islature his name was changed from Carter to Ballingford. But, wishing to retain some connec- tion with his fathers family name, he took the Christian name of Carter. And thus we see the two full-blood brothers, one bearing the name of Carter Ballingford and the other the name of Bal lingford Carter. It is small won der that there were arguments and disputes and men engaged in fisticuffs over the name of these two men. But here Is the irony of fate. Here Is where the plans of mice and men go awry. Augustus Carter did agree. to take his mothers family name, but he did not agree to take a wife, and he never married. So the name of "Ballingford" perished when they laid Carter Ballingford beside his mother.

SEAPORT PROGRESS

With the swearing in of Chairman George Gordon Crawford and Honor able Charles Henderson the state dock commission becomes a functioning body under the recent legislation ere ating it, for Dr. F. G. Blair had pre- viously been qualified. The friends of seaport development therefore are gratified at the prospect of early con- structive activity at the port, and an ticipate with pleasurable concern the benefits seaport development is bound to bring to Alabama.
 It is indicated that MT. Crawford's s acceptance is in a measure tentative until he has assured himself that the port enabling act gives sufficient lati- tude to enable the commission to make success of the undertaking. It is recalled that there are several restric- tions imposed on the commission which are not only unnecessary but which might defeat the very purpose of the seaport amendment as approved by the people. Only a desperate last minute fight by The Age-Herald and others prevented the recommendation and passage of a measure that was mysteriously delayed in committee by a majority whose record showed them opposed to seaport development and who were appointed by Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell in spite of his prediction pledges to forward the cause of seaport development in every possible manner.
 There are two serious drawbacks in the recently enacted port legislation. One is the requirement of the gov ernor's indorsement of all the acts of the commission whether they are important acts or not. This seriously undermines the authority and eff ciency of the commission, unless it can reach some agreement with the gov e1'nor carrying in advance his approval of the general program so that the commission may act without the haunt ing uncertainty relative to the gov ernor's probable reaction to their judg- ment. It would have been far better had this inhibition been omitted.
 The second drawback is the stipu- lation that not more than five million dollars may be expended in four years or until the facilities thus established pay five per cent. on the investment. It may be very we'll that to establish facilities so complete and adequate as to attract sufficient tonnage to bring. a return of five per cent. on the in- vestment would cost six or seven or eight million dollars. Thus the pro- vision would tend to defeat the pur- pose of the amendment. However, there is always recourse to the legisla- ture for modification of the act, and the rumored special session would pro- vide opportunity for such modification after the new commission has had time to study the situation. The im- portant thing is that the commission is organized and has started to func- tion.

substantial element in his success as reorganizer of Italy. Perhaps many an American president, had he been free to consider only the good of his country, and not constrained to safe guard the interests of his party or to pay political debts, would have made far greater success of his ad- ministration. If Mussolini's methods and success have been unique, it must not be forgotten that his opportunity also has been unique.
