Birmingham Needs To Beauty

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
cannot refrain from a. word of congratula-
ton concerning the editorial appearing in
your issue of Monday, under the heading,
Need for Corporations" This is construe-
tive in the largest sense. and if Birmingham
is TO grow and develop in a manner in de-
gree and keeping with her latent possibilities,
it must be with due regard to making her.

is apparently given to this sort Of develop

criticism very dutifully. The Tokyo explana-

foreign to the ambassador and that there

opportnnity For COLLEGE TRAINING

H..
When a young man can go to college he
is fortunate When be scaIi go To-. the best
college in the United states he is more for
tunate, but when he has IAN opportunity to
be appointed to. the United states Naval
Academy whose graduates have. an educa-
ton second to none, and whose students,
with rank of nnidshipmany u. $. navy, are
paid sufficient money to meet every expense
incident. to attending this academy, and
whose SUMMER cruise takes them to foreign
ports for leave and liberty for two months
each year, then he has an opportunity which
is worth more to him than priceless gifts OF
gold and property. 5.si-i., ,..} -fa
Mr. Jared Arthur. Mason, whose home is
with his parents at, 1915 Caldwell avenue
Birmingham, Ala, enlisted in the navy and
was appointed to the academy by the secre-
tary OF the navy from the enlisted personnel,
being one of the 100 appointments allowed
the secretary each year.
Mr. Mason has taken advantage Of the un-
limited opportunities to engage in, athletics
at. Annapolis. livery midshipman. is en-
couraged to engage actively in some form Of
athlehcs, and has won his letters in track
and boxing. His physical development has
been kept up parallel with his mental train
ing, and when he is graduated ana receives
his commission as an ensign, U. s. navy,
his body and mind will be trained to the
point where he can begin his life work with
an advantage over the. graduates of most
any other school in America. Thanks to his
pay as midshipman, no graduate Of Annapo-
lis should have the heavy handicap of debts
incurred in college, which faces so many
graduates of other Institutes of learning.
Any man with these advantages. is certain
to stand high IN the esteem Of his fellowmen.
He is an asset to any community and to his
sAl,
to accept an opportunity such as this.
Yet, the navy has quota of 100 men an
nually, which it is allowed to send to An
napolis, to enter the naval academy on a
par with those appointed from civil life by
senators and congressman. The navy APP
pointments are given to young enlisted men
who have had at least two years high school
and who are under 20 years of age and who
have had one year of service with the navy.
These men are given six months special
preparatory course by the navy before final
examination for entrance to the academy
Because of the limits imposed,- the L.. s.
navy has never appointed its total of 100
men has never actually used over 20 per
cent. of this quota. There are thousands of
young men who, do not know of this oppor-
tunity of obtaining higher education.
Thousands of young men, have finished high
school and have not seen way to continue
in school, and 80 have gone to work, while
these appointments have been waiting. for
them =
Surely there should be way to bring this
opportunity to the attention of those worthy
young men who will never have a chance to
continue through college MS IS. {

Mill TO Sprott, as proposed.
w. T. Harris.
Judge Harris letter is compromise, as
you see. He would uphold the law, and
the highway commission at same time. This
is impossible. Meanwhile the county seat
of Perry county sits in the mud, with not a
single good road connecting it with any
and south highway most of ALL. And we need
a highway running from Greensboro on west
to Marion and thence southeast to Selma
next.
The road now being surveyed from Bar
ker's Mill, via Felix to Sprott, runs from
Dallas county line on the east side of Ca
haba river to Sprouts store, and does not
serve the county. nor connect with any main
highway, nor with county seat. 1t is only
community road.

T WOULD that thoughts of the everyday
man throughout the ages had been re-
\ corded. = 1t would be interesting to
know how many differed from those of the
men Who dominated their times, whose
names loom large in history, and whose
thoughts adorn its printed pages But IN
the absence Of recorded knowledge it is safe
to assume that the thoughts of the leaders
of a people were the thoughts of the people
themselves who held in their hearts what
their Spokesman expressed. -. t. i.
In almost every age and every cline the
supreme search has been the search for
God Unfortunately, the most difficult thing
in this high emprise has been to disassociate
the divine from the human. Most of the
gods that have been found have contained
only such divine qualities as the man him
self saw fit to endow them with; the rest
have been largely human.
The. slow-revolving ages have bent the
back of man, until he stands vast interro-
CATION point looking over all time and asking
why. He seems to demand of God what he
does not demand of any one else in the aft
fairs of life, He does his business largely
upon faith in the integrity of the man with
whom he is dealing. He marries under the
belief that he is about to enter heaven. He
observes the wonderful advance in scientific
research and accepts as true uncomprehended
explanations. But when it comes to any
revelation of God, man insists upon putting
it to the tombstone of his own knowledge
and comprehension. He demands proof I'M
