and cannot hope to have the necessary numbers to make it dangerous. If there is any trend of sentiment in the direc- ton of communism, it is very gradual, and if ever the day draws when such . principle shall prevail, it will be only by the most leisurely of processes, giving ample time for all those necessary ad- justments of mental attitude and na- tional custom such a change would ne- cessitate. Inasmuch as several centuries at least would be required for such a transformation, there need be no pres ent apprehension that communism will prevail until red shall have faded thor oughly into white.

RAILROADS ARE INTERESTED

It is to be expected that industrial and commercial interests of this district attach significance to the visits of half dozen or more high railroad execu- tives to Birmingham within the last month or so. During that period the presidents of several of the leading sys- tems serving this district have spent some time inspecting their properties and studying industrial conditions with ref erence to business and live developments in the early future. Among these off cials were heads of the Louisville and Nashville, the Illinois Central, the Gen. tral of Georgia and. the Southern rail roads. All of them expressed faith in steady industrial developments of the district, and predicted much greater progress in manufacturing activities. All stated that the Birmingham district has shown less tendency towards curtail- ment of production than any other dis tIfcts on their lines.
 While the people of Birmingham have realized to certain extent their growth and development, progress to those on the ground who witness it as gradual process does not impress them so strik- ingly as 1t does competent observers whose interests and success depend upon
 
 executives who are directly interested in the district are quick to note improved conditions. The inference from their visits and inspections is that they are preparing to meet the new demand for larger facilities. The Southern Railway is making extensive investments here. So is the Frisco. The Louisville and Nashville, Illinois Central and Central of Georgia are all increasing their local facilities for larger tonnage.
 All of this cannot but have hearten- ing influence upon industrial and com mercial interests. Railroad heads are usually .far-sighted when considering conditions in connection with their fu- ture programs. They are quick to note productive influences. This is one req son why significance is attached to their present lively interest in this center.

THE PROFESSIONAL BoNpsMEN

Passage by the city commission of an ordinance placing professional bonds men under police regulations, if properly enforced, would be source of protec- ton to- the city, as we'll as to those seek ing the services of bondsmen. Under the ordinance permits must be obtained by the bondsmen before licenses are issued. This would enable the city to investigate the character of applimants and their methods of doing business before they are allowed to operate.
 It appears that the ordinance was con- sidered in connection with many com plaints from clients of bondsmen, some of whom operate under the shadow of the city jail. There were complaints of inn proper practices and heavy over-charges. While it is easy to perceive that abuses may be practiced in this business against clients, and especially those who find themselves in more or less helpless and panicky situations, it were well that the city be in position to protect itself against any possible alliances between those who violate the laws and those who provide the necessary bonds in connec- ton with charges and arrests.
 The city government, theoretically at least, is presumed to know something of the character and methods of those to whom licenses are issued to carry on other lines of business. Investigations are frequently made to determine whether licenses shall be issued after applications for permits are received. Where there is sufficient doubt, the city exercises it's authority accordingly. It appears that at least some of those known as professional bondsmen are un- der suspicion as a result of the many complaints from their clients. The city should ascertain whether they are doing business with the purpose of squeezing from their clients all that is possible to obtain in emergencies; whether any of them are believed directly or indirectly to have understandings with their clients that tend to foster violations of the law, and in short, whether they are need full function of the public service, or an obstruction to law and order. It were we'll that the public be protected from possible abuses that might be removed under proper application of the ordi- nance. It is not hard to perceive that evils as serious as often attend the loan shark traffic, may be injected into the professional bond business, unless prop erly regulated in the interest of the public welfare.

Dear Reader: Who is the biggest man in your line today? Do you know anything about him?, It might, be well to find out how he got where he is. The steps he took are open to you and there is no reason why you cannot follow after him. The great thing about America is that everyone has chance, and the pitiable thing is that everybody does not take it. If you will always do what the other fellow is afraid to do, you are very like ly to be a success, for the most successful men today are those who were not afraid to take chance. Much accumulates more and a little is very likely to become less.

The Frat Pin
(By Reev Oppleman)

He wore his college frat pin
 Just southward from his heart And vowed that from its resting place That pin should ne'er depart. Years that passed still found him
 Firm and standing pat, Still wearing his college frat pin
 In honor of his frat. One day blue eyes confused him
 His high resolve took chase, A soft voice coaxed the frat pin
 From its old abiding place. They're now in little bungalow
 With Welcome" on the mat, ! And the frat pin? Fastens baby clothes In honor of his frat!

Amos Q. Pipp Discusses the Discovery of
 White Indians

Amos o. Pipp Discusses the Discovery of l White Indians White Indians have been found in Panama by Prof. Richard 0. Marsh. He has captured three and is bringing them to the. United | States. The country is strangely unrespon- sive. Every state sounded on the White Indian situation has reported no demand. Amos Q. Pipp, radio lecturer, scientist and oyster. opener was told of the discovery today and declared that in his opinion Prof. Marsh has made big mistake in discovering them.
 "Now that he has found White Indians, what's he guntar do with emf" asked Amos "A White Indian ain't no use to nobody In fact he is jest about ruined for all general purposes as a Indian.
 "You couldn't hire me to find one. It is hard enough nowadays to find a customer for Red Indian, let alone one that is way off color.
 And the trouble with a white Indian is that even after you've found him and brought him home you've gotcher work cut out tryin to convince people he's a Indian at all. Peo- pie is 50 skeptical!
 "All the plans and specifications about In- dians fer years have called for red ones Buffalo Bill and 101 Ranch would use no other kind. You aIus got a red one or your money back and nobody ever went roarin' to the box office for his money back because he didn't see no lily white ones.
 T think this Marsh feller is wastin' his time. He might just as we'll tell folks he's Iu:v I1on and Old Gold African or an Orange and Black Striped Irishman with Red Polka Dots. There'd be just as much sense to it..
 Years ago I had a tent show myself. I had a Indian in it called Laying Llama. He wasn't exactly white, in fact, he was more of dirty gray, but he was no use what ever. He was too white to be a Indian, the customers said, and too dirty to be white man. Even with feathers and paint on he was poor apology for injun.
 "'He looked more like a Tired Kalsominer at the Latherers' and Plasters' Masquerade Ball!
 'I wanted to get rid of him but couldn't give him away. finally had to drown him for his own good. If I had a known Prof MaTSn was III tue 1nnIkcb 1OE Ouc OL lndC kind would have shipped Laying Llama to him with my compliments
 Prof. Marsh is maxim big mistake bring ing these White Indians to New York. No circus will have anything to do with them as Indians and no Indians will have any thing to do with them as white people They'll just starve to death.
 "No sir" concluded Amos, Americans has been trained to like their Indians red. And they'll take no substitute :"
