THE BOB.


This is the morn Of the fatal day.
The sun comes up in the usual way,
The twittering bird song rises sweet,
And a newsboy whistles in the setreet.
If they but knewl A tremulous sigh
AS the morning paper meets my eye;
Already can imagine there,
In a shrieking headline Thousands
Stare !
Joe Browns wife has bobbed her
hair!v
I swallow my heart and start down
town;
/ swallow my heart, but it won't stay
down;
Oh, terrified wife Of poor Joe Brown
If I only knew--if only knewl
oh, Bobby Burns, how true, how truel
And wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursel's as others see usl
viii look like flapper, half my
agef-
Or poor old hen in the melting stage :
viii it plaster down like q wet dish
rags
VIII my ears stick outs VIII my cow
lick wagf
win I look like a dream or bowling
wrecks
And how in the world win shave my
neckf
I swallow my heart once more and stop
AT the grim front door of the barber
shop.
The horrible barber clicks his shears
In sinister sort of way,
voieing the worst Of my haunting
fears
"what will your husband ssys"

hurt. This is how he told it to me:
One of his young acquaintance
| breezed into his office one day last
spring and said, eve re going to have
dance at the club Friday night;
can t you and Mrs. Rogers come overs
ON ask her." he replied. He did,
and although she wasn't very well, she
consented to go to please him, and he
sent word to the fellows that they
would be there.
When they got to the house on the
evening of the dance things were IN
progress. They were recognized by
some of the fellows, one of whom went
with them to the dressing room. Later
they found their way downstairs and
sat in a cold, dark corner, as IT
seemed they were expected to do
The dancing went on quite as If they
were not there-quite proper dancing
in the main. Few of the fellows spoke
to them, and fewer still introduced the
young women whom they. had with
them. Most of the boys with whom
they were acquainted looked at them
as though they were strangers and
some of the older men even stared at
them as they passed by, but gave no
signs of recognition. Nobody asked
them, though they both enjoy dancing
to dance, and between dances the room
in which they were sitting was pretty
well deserted except for their pres
ence.
AS time went on it appeared that
there was punch or cakes or sand
wiches being served somewhere in the
house, but no one offered to serve
them, and as they were not quite fam
ished they did not go on an exploring
expedition themselves.
About eleven o'clock Mrs. Rogers
decided that she would be more com
Portable at home, and just as likely |
there to meet new acquaintance as
where she was, SO they announced
their departure to one of the fellows
and threaded their way alone through
the dancers to the dressing room.
1T hope you've enjoyed the dance, /"
one of the fellows shouted as they
were pushing their way out.
cit was wonderful, /" Rogers re-
sponded, "and Mrs. Rogers is going
to be just crazy to come to the next
one. !"
tDon't they know any betterp
Mrs. Rogers asked, as she was warm
ing her feet before her own pleasant
CRATE fire, cor do they just think we

And sent me forth all peeled and thin,
Like something the old cat just
dragged inl
I stumble away and wonder when

For I am alone in human sea
And everybody is watching me;
My neck feels cold and clammy and |
bare;
It cries to heaven and weeps for hair.
My eyes look out through mist Of
tears

Cor all my body has run to ears.
they seem to flare for foot or more
And flap about like cellar door.

Daddy he merely grins;
sits with a steely jaw, 1,
Moaning of modern sins.

THE FEDERAL BARGE LINE

When a business man receives a shipment of freight by river or by river and rail, through the Federal barge line on the AIissis- sippi River and the railroad from the river terminal to his own town he does not know the forces that worked out this saving for him. When he saves 20 per cent. of his freight bill on a shipment from New Orleans to his own town, he takes it as q matter of course and does not know that he gets this saving because men of vision, of energy and of determination have worked hard and un- tiringly to make this saving to him possible. They feel that this nation should coordinate all forms of transportation by rail, by river and by highway, and probably they will go further and add in time by air. Certainly if the transportation needs of the country are met completely. all of these forms must be harnessed together to carry the nations ton mage. And these men who stand behind the Federal barge line. and who are giving of their time and of their energy to promote it as q national transportation system, are de- serving of the gratitude of everyone in the Mississippi Valley for contributing to it's na- tional prosperity.-Cairo (Ill.)

A PREVALENT THREAT

The average community in this country is burdened with the problem of suppress ing the pistol-toter. Every now and then a judge threatens to impose heavy penal ties upon offenders, but seldom carries out the threat. Punishment befitting the crime would go a long ways towards re- lieving this dangerous and useless habit. The man who habitually, illegally and un- necessarily carries deadly weapon is a potential danger, and should be punished with severity sufficient to warn all others who are disposed to commit this far too prevalent offense.
 Much has been written about the need for new and special laws regulating the carrying of concealed weapons. It has been proposed to prohibit the interstate shipment of pistols except under rigid re- and suggestions have been made to regulate their sale through a system of registering the name of the purchaser and the time of the purchase, under special license plan, ct Setera.

THE DECLINE OF TROTZKY

Even before the death of Lenine it appeared the Leon Trotzky's influence with the soviet was on the decline. Of re- cent months that decline has become more apparent. Only his power as min ister of war, with a loyal army at his beck, has kept him from some such fate as he is reputed to have dealt out to others. Recently, his withdrawal to a health resort has given greater oppor- tunity for his enemies to undermine him with the people. He has been repeatedly denounced as traitor, according to re- ports. Just the other day, in retaliation against the circulation of pamphlets bear ing this charge, red troops at Moscow mutined and imprisoned in their barracks M. Stalin, secretary general of the Com munist party.
 Notwithstanding this loyalty of the troops under his command, there are many who believe that Trotzky's day of power is drawing to a close. He angered the Communists by his declaration of last year that Communism had proved fail ure, and his stand for return to certain business, currency and trade practices that the soviet had branded and eschewed as capitalistic. There is no doubt that Trotzky was wiser than his soviet &C., cusers. Even if an opportunist, he is a more practical administrator than they. His consummate organization and dis cipline of the army proves his executive ability. He will probably go down before the rule of lesser men. He has richly deserved whatever fate might come upon him, but surely not more than those who are likely to act as the instruments of that fate.

The Right Word
SHOULD AND WOULD WITH LIKE (Find the Error i'm This Article.)
By W. CURTIS NICHOLSON

Most people do not know when to use should and would with like. John Bondar has just raised the question in the following letter:
 "Of late have been following your Right Word column and should like to ask you the following question Is it correct to say: I should in answering the question, Would you like, etc.?'
 70 Is I should not Ike correct? Also, I should hate; as, I should hate to disap- point you""
 Answer: The question is whether one should reply T should" when answering the ques- tion, "Would you like" etc.? In the first place, Would you like?" is incorrect. The right word is should. And so the reply should contain the word should; as I shuld like.
 Would should never be used with "I' and like" whether like appears in the sentence or is understood. Would with "I'' mean Like means to incline favor ably toward enjoy. One would hardly be determined to enjoy.
 Finally, in asking a question, one should use the auxiliary one expects to hear in the reply. The reply should be T should like" or T should not like" Therefore, the ques- tion is "should you like, etc?" q should hate" is correct.

Mir. stovalrs Views On Our Schools.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have been greately interested in the dis cussion of the education status in Alabama in The Age-Herald, especially in Dr. Shackel' ford's letter. Coming over from Atlanta to make my home in Birmingham in 1900, l was glad to learn that the year before the Birmingham schools had taken the prize over the Atlanta schools.
 While it is true that the illiteracy com parison of Alabama with other states should be and is irritating to us, thought before' and am confirmed in reading these letters, that the state is probably making now more rapid progress than other states. But what is more important as it seems to me, there IS vigorous and healthy spirit and purpose ot progress upon the part of the educators of the state.
 But in reading Dr. Shackleford's plea to the public for a more vigorous and adequate support of the education program l felt that something more definite would have to be sad to assure the patrons and tax payers Of the state that due improvements would be made in the teaching efficiency of the schools mak- ing such establishments as would eliminate any outgrown methods and abuses and including any up-to-date measures or methods that the advance of knowledge of recent years has made possible, before there will be a willingness on their part to vote sufficient means to meet the needs.
 For there IS much complaint on Cne part ol parents, and more feeling unexpressed, no doubt, that their children do not make the advance, do not develop and do not gain and retain the knowledge that they should in the course of ten years of constant attendance at school And that means everything to parents who duly appreciate the meaning of a thorough education, and who, as is the case with most parents, must keep their children in school for so large a part of their entire life at home at great effort.
 I want to suggest, in order to win CO., operation and to insure all possible improve ment, that this advancement committee, as did a voluntarily formed committee in Chicago a few years ago for the improvement of the school system of that city, seek and secure papers from the ablest physiologists, biologists zoologists, psychologists, psychiatxists, etc. setting forth in what way and how far the needs of the child can be better met, and that this information be made available to all con- cerned ,and so far as possible incorporated in our educational program.
