By Their IarlIifs

Family trees are funny; time was when they were tended and pruned, all dead timber being carefully cut out but now bare limbs are a com mon sight on even some of our oldest and best family trees
 Some of them produce a lot of peaches and the same branch may also bear nuts Many blossoms are found nestling in the leafy branches and perchance few witherel wall- flowers are found tucked away in sundry hooks,
 Lemons are common on some of the trees; prunes and qninces also abound. Some of this fruit is easy picking and some of it has to be pretty well shaken before it will fall.
 You will find many little love nests tucked away in the branches of the old family tree and also some pretty queer birds.
 But everything considered. the fam fly tree is pretty good tree, and 1t is quite a calamity 10 fall out of it.

OF BIRMINGHAM
History Book Of U. S,
Tire Company Tells
Story To Millions

In one terse paragraph of 40 words
graphic story of the greatness Of
Birmingham was told last week to mil
lions of people in New York.
This happened in the heart Of Man
hattan's great white way, where ap
proximately a million people pass every
"a hours.
The huge history book" of the Unit
ed States Tire company, located or
the famous old Claridge hotel, conveyed
the condensed facts about the astound
ing progress of the Magic City Of the
south.
Wording OF Sign
Here's what the big sign said:
Birmingham, Ala, 900 miles from
here. The Magic City. of the south
43 years ago village of 3,000-today
an industrial center of 225, 000-tomor
row perhaps the worlds greatest iror
and steel producer, for half the nations
iron resources are located in Alabams
around Birmingham"
For seven days the story, in box-cal
letters, remained on the sign, and fol
seven days the millions of persons wht
passed through Times Square read it
Every week in the "history book
the story Of a different American city
is told. By means of it, New York ant
its visitors are being entertained ant
informed of the achievements of thu
great cities Of the country.
Mardi Gras Advertised
New York, Philadelphia, jackson
vile, Atlantic City, New Orleans an6
Amarillo, Texas, already have been
featured.
New Orleans received its "circula.
ton" during the week just preceding
Mardi Gras, and hundreds of eastern.
ers flocked down to the big carnival
who OTHERWISE would scarcely have
known about it.
The sign is 9S feet long by 10 feet
high, and is built of steel, cement, tile
and copper. Illumination at night is
provided by several overhead reflectors
and by dozens Of smaller lamps set in
the moulding.
Pitcures in the end penals, which are
changed frequently, illustrate stages in
the production of rubber. The two
scenes shown last week depicted actiyi.
ties of the vast rubber plantations in
