The OUer-Conftderlt
By H. ADDINGToN BRUCE

Just as over-confidence may be, and ire quently is, fatal to success in games, so it may be, and frequently is, fatal to success in the more serious contests of life. There is such a thing as man being too clever for his own good when his cleverness- betrays him into over-confidence.
 For then he is certain unconsciously to hamper himself by becoming a half-learner and half-worker.
 Undertaking any new task he will not patiently buckle down to master it's details. He will listen with perhaps poorly concealed impatience to any one who offers himself as an instructor. All the while he keeps think ing:
 "This is easy for me. I'll have it done in no time"
 He may get it done with uncommon rapid ity. The chances actually are that he will. But also the chances are that, because he has neither listened intently nor labored with real thoroughness, he will not get it done to the complete satisfaction of the one em- ploying him.
 More than this, the chances are that, if only because of his over-confidence he will resent instead of profiting from any crit icism of mistakes he may have made in his eagerness to finish his task rapidly. n
 Come, now" you can hear him saying, that's laying it on a bit, too thick. What you complain of, is really a trifle, and doesn't count for so much as you seem to think"
 Net, as one of the worlds greatest artists once said, in one of the world's most famous quotations, it is the trifles that make perfec- tion, and perfection is no trifle. And, in the words of philosopher of success:
 "One cannot pluck the fruits of his native ability without constant and careful cultiva- tion. In sowing the seed of success there is no preferred season. the present is the &C., cepted time, the mind and the weather are always on the side of the diligent, steady worker"
 This is what the over-confident forget. Flushed with the pride of their real or fan. cied cleverness, they apply themselves to eff fort indifferently rather than earnestly. For time this may not seem to hurt them. In the long run it will hurt them so badly that they may go hmpingly through business life the rest of their days.
 Which is the explanation of the often wit messed phenomenon of talent being outdis- tanced by dullness. The dull who appreciate their limitations and strive to compensate by patience and concentration are always likely in the end to shine by contrast with the clever folk who felt too sure.
 "Dogged does it." said Carlyle. In these three words there is a truth the significance of which cannot be oyerestimated by any man-talented dull. or average-who would know the joy that comes from real achieve ment, and would win a place among the conspicuously successful.

THE GADSDEN TIMES

Purchase of the Gadsden Journal by the Gadsden Times-News is an interest ing recent development in Alabama jour- nalism. The Journal was one of the most progressive and influential Ala bama afternoon newspapers published in the cities of Gadsden's class Under the consolidation the new paper will be known as "The Times" It has been demonstrated in several instances that city the size of Gadsden hardly affords sufficient patronage for two successful daily papers. Examples are Anniston, Huntsville, Selma and other towns where two daily papers covering largely the same ground were found impracticable, and were merged into one larger and more progressive paper. The Times now has an inviting field for development, and has the opportunity to give the peo- pie of the Gadsden district a broad me- dium of constructive publicity for the expansion of that resourceful and enter prising section.

MAY DAY WELFARE RESULTS

An interesting account of the actual results arising from observance of May Day on behalf of child's health is given in pamphlet issued by the Divi- sion of Publications of the American Child Health Association, the official or ganization working for better health con- ditions among the children of America. The purposes of the enterprise were broadly set forth among business inter- ests, as we'll as civic organizations, mu- nicipal governments, welfare projects and homes. The spirit of cooperation was truly remarkable. In every part of the country the message struck a sym pathetic chord, and realization of it's inn portance was exemplified in the innu- merable efforts to improve conditions among the less fortunate children.
 A notable feature of the observance was the generous response to appeals not only from organizations engaged in promoting better conditions for the care and training of children as respects their physical condition, but from industrial interests, educational systems, municipal governments, commercial enterprises, and, in fact, from nearly every moral, intellectual and material influence. The message exercised wholesome effects upon the nations attitude towards the child. Realization of it's importance in the advancement of childrens interests

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

"To the city dweller intangible mystery seems to hang over the processes of nature in the country" said Isaac D. White, back from q vacation at Brantingham Lake in the Adirondacks. Tt leases the imagination and vaguely stirs the subconscious depths, as when he watches the daily miracle of night fall among the hills and pictures the rush of life at that hour on Broadway. I was surprised to see how unimpressed were many country people who had been in the midst of wild beauty all their lives
 "One night, when the sun had sunk in cloudy glory, thrushes had ceased their chant, and the whippoor-wills took up their mystic refrain, asked several residents to describe the appearance of the bird that talks in the night They could not do it. Being a night wanderer few people ever really see it.
 "A young naturalist got his book out and read me the description. I learned the eggs are laid on the ground. 1 was surprised also to learn that perching upon limbs they do not stand across them, but parallel"

BIRMINGHAM'S POPULATION

In estimating Birmingham's popula- tion at 200,785, as of July 1, 1924, the government census is believed to have been more than ordinarily conservative. In the 1920 census Birmingham's popula- tlon was given as 178,S06, which was then generally believed to be no less than twenty thousand short. Since then Birmingham is believed to have been growing at the rate of a thousand a month. Estimates made by the school authorities, the telephone and water works companies and other unofficial sources support this view. There is every reason to believe that Birming- hams population at this time is around 230,000 under the most conservative basis of figuring. It would not be sur- prising if the total were even more.
 It should be remembered in this con- nection that many incorporated towns and several unincorporated communities close to the city limits are not included in either the government ,or the unoffi- cial estimates. Thus Bessemer, which is within quick communication of Birming- ham, and is included in the city's direct trading district, is not represented in the figures given. Bessemer has at least twenty-five thousand inhabitants. Nor are OCHST LOWHS lHlHleQldI6ly west Ol the city limits included-Fairfield, with more than five thousand population; Brighton, with equally as many; Powderly, Smith field and other thickly-settled communi- ties, with populations ranging from few hundred to several thousand. Boyles and Tarrant City, Edgewood, Rosedale and other close-in communities, together with the populous districts immediately out side the city limits in several other direc- tions, all included in the immediate shopping district and separated from the city only by imaginary lines, would run the total community population up around 275,000 to 290,000.
 Birmingham is growing faster than any city in the South or Southeast Not only is it's population showing marked in- crease, but it's industrial development is a source of interest and admiration to the whole country. The two phases of advancement are closely related. In- creased development in industrial and commercial operations, with steady ex- pansion of markets for products of the Birmingham district, are largely respon- sible for the rapid growth of popula- tion. Estimates that Birmingham and its immediate suburbs will show a pop ulation of 100000 in the next six years under the 1880 census are regarded as conservative.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-22
THE BRANCH BANK BUILDING

The definite decision by the govern ment to erect home for the Birming- ham branch of the sixth federal reserve bank adds to this city's prestige as a financial center. The plans contemplate a substantial building which will be a credit to the northwestern part of the business district. While rumors that the Birmingham branch might be abandoned were discounted on the ground that such action could not be taken without an act of congress, the building of perma- ment home at cost of not less than a quarter of million dollars is gratifying.
 Up to comparatively recent years Bir- mingham was regarded as essentially an industrial district engaged almost ex- clusively in production activities. More recently it's importance as a financial center, serving an extensive territory and aiding in the expansion of markets for it's products within this section, has been widely recognized. Establishment of a branch of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn here has contributed to the city's standing in financial circles, and has done much to gain for it that recognition to which it is entitled by virtue of its large productive achievements.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

His name might be William Aloysius Gull lins, but it isn't. However. that will do to call him by. He is young, not too good look ing, shallow as a saucer, with plenty of pep. Three years ago 1 noted him in the seeth- ing middle of my neighbours office force.
 Who" I asked sarcastically, "is the young King Solomon in all his glory? And when did you begin running fashion show in this heretofore conservative shop?"
 My neighbor said explosively that he had given young William Aloysius notice to be- gin dressing like a human being or get out. Not that he wanted him shabby, said he. The well-worn habiliments of honest toll were not an asset, he said, when it came to get ting orders. But he did not propose to have his employees look like chorus men.
 "IIe looked hurt" said my neighbor. Hon est to King George the Third. he didn't know he was a blooming show. A clerk had sold him that junk and he wore it, believing him. self to be well dressed"
 So far as the moral may be isolated. it appears that young William Aloysius had grasped one great thought That is, that the man in business cannot afford to be other than well dressed nowadays. He must keep his clothes pressed and his linen immaculate unless he is very rich. when he becomes a dear old eccentric who is. oh so quaint Money spent on good clothes is the best sort of an investment. But poor Bill was born without spoon full of taste. Colors, checks, cuts, mean nOth | ing to him. The more vivid the assemblage the more certain he is that he is absolutely right What Bill needed, and found, was a good tailor. He's leader in his job nos. Mostly because he trusts the tailor

MAKING A PROMINENT CITIZEN

A number of Baltimore newspaper men once tried an experiment to determine if prominent citizens are born or made They picked out at random an obscure man who conducted little saloon which he called a hotel Every few days they attributed some wise saying to this man, interviewed him about local politics or the state of the Union, and kept his name constantly before the pub lie It wasn't long before he began to be asked to sit on speakers platforms and to be honorary pallbearer whenever a leading cit izen died. In other words, he did become a prominent citizen. At the end of a year he was elected president, I think it was, of a national hotel mems association.-Fred C. Kelly in McNaugh's Monthly.
