NO NEED FOR ITS SPREAD

One of the large industrial enterprises of t'tas district in actively cooperating with the health department to stamp out smallpox, has set worthy example which other large employers of labor might we'll emulate While the smallpox situation in this district is reported not to be cause for undue alarm, there are known to be quite a number of cases scattered about the city and suburbs, and the importance of general precautiOn is therefore emphasizeds
 Most of the school children have been vac cinated, and arrangements have been made to- include them all. The health authorities are distributing literature and warnings, and free vaccination is offered at the city hall. One danger of spread of the disease comes from mining camps and industrial enterprises employing large numbers of laborers. Many of these are careless of hygienic matters and neglectful of precautionary measures. Hence the wisdom of inaugurating steps by large employers of labor to protect their employees.
 Mot only would such course prove benefi- cial to the employers, but it would be step in the public interest. That phase of the situation directly concerns those charged with the public protection, and hence their duty to comply with such ordinances as exist in this connection, where voluntary co-opera- tion is not promptly forthcoming. There is no reason or excuse for the existence of a large number of smallpox cases in this com munity. when suppression or control of the disease is so easy and inexpensive.

ONE HUNDRED BOYS ENROLL

Boys of Pike county are manifesting com mendable spirit in their hearty response to eff forts for improved farming in that section. More than hundred boys have been enrolled in the various agricultural clubs, and have agreed to grow an acre of cotton, corn or peanuts. each, and to raise hogs and poultry under the direction of the county farm dem onstration agent Soil and fertilization, lection of seed and other important factors will be given special attention and valuable results are promised.
 Many of these boys are to become farmers so that intelligent study of the subjects which have to do with successful farming will be pursued with view to increasing production per acre, and at the same time improving the qualities of products, thereby command ing profitable prices. It Is q practical busi- ness proposition-the farming industry which more and more calls for the applica- ton of business principles.
 With proper instruction and training un- der intelligent demonstration agents, these hundred boys will not only themselves make better farmers, but their achievements will exercise helpful example and a beneficial influence upon the farming industry of that extensive and fertile section of the state. It is encouraging to note that the slogan, more to the acre." instead of greater acreage, is being widely adopted throughout the state, while quality rather than quantity. of pro- duction is being given more serious cOnsidera- tion. So much for the wisdonl and benefits of farm demonstration work the value of which is increasingly recognized in the light of results thus achieved

REAL VALUES HOLD FIRM

Steadily increasing values of central prop erty in Birmingham have been repeatedly emphasized by number of recent sales One of the latest was the transfer of lot twenty by seventy-five feet, or fifteen hundred square feet, on Third avenue. north, near Twentieth street, involving an investment of a hundred thousand dollars, or five thousand dollars a front foot. This property is not on corner, slse it would have brought an even larger price.
 A study of recent prevailing prices for property in this city is not only interesting, but calculated to increase an already strong faith in the compnnity's future expansion ahd development 4 little over generation ago the property alluded to could have been purchased for few thousand dollars. Since then Birmingham has passed the experimental stage. Its future is founded not only on the vast natural resources of the district. but upon the confidence and self-relance of its people. Available central property is scarce.

Woods Not Words
By JOHN CARLYLE

. Eighty million acres of forest land--land which; is not good for anything except to raise >forests--have been cut bare of trees. With sreforestation mostly a matter of conversation in the United States, the time is rapidly coming when we must demand woods and not words.
 Readers of trade journals read advertise nents not long ago calling attention to the ability of Germany to furnish print paper to American customers. The whole area of Germany is less than that of Texas. So far has the German policy of reforestation gone, over long period of years, that there is pulp wood to spare and to export.
 Norway and Sweden are little countries compared with the United States, and yet these Scandinavian countries maintain steady stream of print paper coming t0 the publishers of this country It is made from the wood which a wise conservation and re- planting policy las made it possible to pro duce.
 Print paper is only one of the products of wood. Your home. your city, your state and your nation without woOd--witlo,t q plenti- ful supply of wood--is almost unimaginable.
 Think of the patient years that have pro- duced a tree and that are necessary to pro- duce another tree! Think of the certainty of a tree crop, once we have become suffi- ciently intelligent to raise trees! Think with what ruthless waste we have hewn down.
 
 rich and productive land of ours LET.
 Canada. fortunately for American wood wood users is many years ahead of the United States in reforestation policy. Leases on the crown lands of Canada, now in control of the great forest-cutting concerns of the North, require that timber must be replanted, foot for foot
 About all we know about growing new for. ests in the United States we learn from presi- dents messages. To the credit of all recent administrations it is to be said that they have been for strong reforestation policy Congress has too many political problems to solve It hasn't time to think of tomorrow's t'inher supply.
 The preservation of WOOL a d the grow ing of woods in the countrses of Europe is government matter. It is recognized AS n matter vital to the welfare, the progress and the happiness of the people. We must take time to regard it 50 in America and to act in accordance.
 Timber barons gre heading us toward treeless nation. It is time that the gtWern- ment laid down an unmistakable program that will build again and again the rich, replace able resources of this land, and preserve for our children a part of the great wealth we have inherited from nature.

THE GREATNESS" or LEVINE

Mortuary commentators have widely spo- ken of Lenine as one of the really great men of the World War era. and some have ac- claimed him as one of the supreme martyrs of humanity" With all due regard for the generally disregarded "Nihil de mortuis" non- sense, l must dissent from all such judgment, Whatever may have been his intellectual gifts, and they are said to have been considerable, his greatness" as an administrator of state was confined to destruction. In that he was indeed unsurpassed. In constructive states manship he achieved nothing that he was not himself compelled to confess a failure, His greatness as ruler was the greatness of Genghis or Timour, from whose race he sprang and whose savagery he emulated. His greatness as political philosopher was chief " shown in the consuming hatred of democ- racy and desire to overthrow and suppress 1t throughout the world. His irenic great ness led him to create and maintain the largest standing army in the world. Morally, ms greatness resembled that of Benedict Ar mold; to whom, however apologies are due TOT the comparison, since he was guilty of treason only once. Lenine betrayed his own country more flagrantly and sordidly than Arnold treid to do. and then betrayed its aIIles and benefactors. He will be chiefly remembered for those two acts of perfidy. for wrecklng the economic fabric of n great m
 tion more thoroughly than ever was done Delore. for causing more wanton murders tnan Marat and Carrier ever dreamed of in tue aerror' and for the deviling to death of the homan0ff princesses with circumstances or horror from which even an Apache misbt M nave shrunk. If he was great, let Nero and Iloerlus be apOtheOszed.--Willis Fletcher Johnson Ill the North American Review.

Watching The Pdrade
By JOHN PILGRIM

Years ago Mrs. James O. Hennessy died. Her husband has been Three Star Hennessy ever since. Not fit for very much: He is not loafer. precisely, and never a, beggar, but he has worked just enough to enable him to get the booze he craved. It makes him forget But this morning Three Star came in, shaved and clean.
 I'm glad my wife died.' he said. No telling. We might have had kid"
 He had a story to tell. The Bruntons he said, live near the house Hennessy has man. aged to hang on to, just because the only happy days of his life were passed there. No one knows how he has done it, but there he is. The few who have entered have found the home unchanged. One almost expects the lost mistress to enter when door swings open.
 They have daughter" he said. "Lav'a. As fine little girl, two years ago. as ever seen. Pretty and modest and smart. Then she got this fapper craze. At the New Years dance she passed out on the floor of the restaurant where she was dancing. Dead drunk. Oh, it's true. Her fine young escort passed her from hand to hand, and the other fine young men kissed her as they swung by. The girls laughed sAss
 It made no difference to the Bruntons, Three Star says. He told them himself. They lHughed. A little later Laura and three young menadroye to a neighboring city to watch a football game None of them saw it, because they had forgotten to take water to drink with their whisky and had to drink the cham pagne they had saved for the big dinner which was to follow the game. The girl was drunk, of course. So were the young men. Three Star told the Bruntons the story. They laughed.
 Shell get over it." Mrs. Brunton said. comfortably. All the girls act that way now. But they'll get over it. Just passing phase"
 Three Star says he no longer mourns that his wife is dead. They might have had a daughter, he says. And there is no telling he being the fool he is over drink-what might have happened.
 But he is through now, he says. He owes that much to his dead wife

The delay in courthouse construction, due to the apparent inability of the board of reve-
 nue to formulate sound and acceptable plan
 while placing the public welfare further m
 distress, because of the lnadaquacy or the
 present building, has it's valuable side in that
 1t defers final action until there is oppOr- tunity to elect body of men of greater ca pacity to this responsibility. For many weeks the people of this city and county have witnessed a most amazing spectacle of official ineptitudeS with respect to this i'm portant undertaking. The ease with which the board has shifted from one plan to an other, blown about by the various chance breezes of impulse or tte pressure of unseen influences, has tended to destroy whatever confidence the public might otherwise have had in the boards capacity to administer the major items of its trust.
 TThe inclination to proceed to profound de cisions as to the undertaking without re- ferring the question to the people. has re- ceived little encouragement, outside of
 small group, but has undeniably been the object of much mute public disapproval The hpard may distrust the electorate; certain individuals may prefer to pursue policy ig- noring the right of the people to decide this question but the claim cannot seriously be made that the people themselves do not trust their own judgment in public affairs. Fur thermore, there has as yet been discovered no feasible plan whereby the board may pro- ceed in disregard of what the popular opinion may be. Sooner or later, the subject will have to be submitted to the people, either to express advance opinion, or else in appeal for funds to complete project not pre- viously approved by the people. and from which such approval may be withheld. The Age-Herald has maintained that the only de- feasible course is to win public support for any program before it is an accomplished fact. So far, the board has talked a lot about new courthouse, but the sum total of it's achievement would be difficult to discover. The longer the aimless procedure goes on, the more clearly the people perceive that of ficial incompetence must be the cause of fail ure to accomplish <,
 In all of this the people of this community have themselves somewhat to blame for in- difference to the capacity of men elected to public office. There is another election com. ing. What has been or is being done to in sure the candidacy of men of successful busi ness experience and proved executive capacity to handle the annual millions of pnblic ex- penditures? No private corporation would entrust the safety and economical adminis- tration of it's millions to the political oppor- tanist. Why should the people do so!

Dental Headaches
By H. ADDINGroS BRUCE

As indicating the difficulty physicians may experience in ascertaining the cause of sa frequently recurring headache, and as eins phusizing the importance of leaving no pos sibIe cause out of account, l would cite a case recently reported by Chicago pit,!:ca' man, Dr. Robert Sonnenschein,
 There came to a clinic with which Dr. Sonnenscein is associated, a young woman who for more than a year, had been suffer- ing from persistent headaches. Scarcely a day was she free from pain. She would wake with her head slightly aching. and by late afternoon the ache was intense.
 Long before she consulted Dr. Sonnehscein she had seen various physicians in vain quest for relief Since she was by occupa- tion stenographer and her headaches nsnaily a were frontal it was first suspected that they were due to eyestrain. But no eye weakness could be found.
 Other common causes of headache were ruled out one by one. In fact, repeated nicdi- cal examinations and tests invariably gave negative findings. Accordingly the patient had been referred to Dr. Sonnenchein, a spe- cialfst in diseases of the nose, on the theory that possibly some nasal infection was re- sponsible for the headaches.
 Such was not found to be Ele case. Nor could the blame be thrown on the t0nsils these having been removed two years eariier, because. of frequent sore throats. It was found, however, that the young womanIs teeth presented curious abnormality. Both the right and the left third lower molar had remained beneath the surface of the gum.
 X-ray examination showed that they not only were interrupted, but also were impacted, that is, were pressing against other teeth. It further appeared that an upper tooth was badly abscessed.
 All three of the offending teeth were ex- tracted, with the result that there was an immediate cessation of the recurring head ache. Not without reason does Dr. Sounen- schein comment:
 1t must be remembered that very often headaches are reflex in character. The actual cause may be in the teeth or elsewhere with out any disease of the nasal accessory sinuses. to which focus we as rhinologsts are 50 much in the habit of referring most of the head aches we sec"
 On the other hand. indiscriminate tooth pulling is hardly to be recommended as a cure for headaches for which no specific bod fly cause is found. Tooth-pulling is justified only when, as in this case, there is definite evidence of dental disease and irregularity
 It should also be kept in mind, by physi- clans and the laity alike, that not infrequently headache of a recurring sort may develop in the absence of any physical cause whatsoever,
 There are what may be termed habit head aches, for which the proper treatment is not medicinal or surgical. but psychological Some good authorities think that habit head aches constitute the larger proportion of all headaches. Concerning this will have more to say another time.
