LOCAL ACTIVITY GROWS.

Evidence of the increasing activity Tn all lines of business and industry in Blr- mingham continues to pile up. Not only are new industries and concerns daily coming into operation, but established mills. factories and furnaces arc con- tinuing to approach and to pass former high marks of production. The district output of coal steadily grows in response to the demand, the production for last week being five thousand tons more than for the week before. There is the double demand upon the mines for the house. hold use in addition to the expanding needs of the industries. There are all sorts of rumors afloat about new com pines, new enterprises of magnitude, new business warehouses, new industries and new undertakings that are evidently in process of consideration, else the rumors would die for lack of fuel to feed them.
 Not only is the districts activity aug mented by the growing demand for To- cal articles of production, but there is also evident optimism regarding the stimulus Birmingham is already receiv- Ing from the formal discontinuance of Pittsburg Plus The practice may be to an extent kept up under one gulse or another during a certain period of transi- lion, but new enterprises and expansions will undoubtedly be influenced by the inevitable superiority of Birmingham industrial attractions to locate here in- stead of elsewhere. Southward the course of industrial enterprise takes it's way, not slowly, but with constantly Gccelerating momentum.

Food And Study
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

NNCE my two girls presented themselves { for admission to Wellesley college. They thought they were prepared, but after interviewing the authorities they discovered that they were shy on trigonometry Ihey had got a book, and I hired tutor from Clark college He was an expert, with red whiskers. I remember this tutor we'll, for he charged me twenty dollars per toot. Stlll, ne was worth it. He crammed the poor things scientifically so full of cines and coslnes, test questions and examination dodges, that they passed albeit by the skin of their teeth And having passed, of course, they promptly threw their trigonometry into the scrap heap, where it belongs, and never looked at 1t again.
 What an absurd, Dark Ages, mutton headed idea it was, and is, and ever shall pc |! The funniest part of it all is the reasons sole ly given for it.
 Ut trains the mind," meaning geometry and trigonometry. Perhaps. But wouldn't you imagine that college professors by this tune have discovered something that would train the mind and yet have some possible relation to life?"
 There is just one real reason for requiring higher mathematics for entrance to college it is that they always have required it. It is maintained precisely for the reason that men wear two buttons on their coat sleeve. THEY ALWAYS HAVEN
 I hereby propose to the high priests of collegedom n substitute for higher mathe- matics. Greek and Latin. It is, and l speak of girls, that the youth should be instructed in FOOD.
 I would not allow any girl to enter my university, if I had one, until she could make hot biscuit put up jam and roast turkey. Furthermore, she should be brought to like to do this and not turn her nose up at 1t. l should mark her fifty per cent for the intel ligent preparation of dinner, and the other fifty for her knowledge of art and literature
 Not that l do not believe in art and lit erature, also in civics and ancient history, but how are you going to consider these higher things when you have the stomacheache!
 Likewise, propose that our girls be taught the values of foodstuffs, how to keep their families from being starved or poisoned. There's many a girl who can prove to you that the sphere of the hypothenuse of right angled triangle is equal to the sum ot the squares, and so forth and so forth; also say amo amas amat amamus amatis amant back ward, and yet hasn't any notion of the kind of milk to feed baby, the kind of bread to make bone and muscle, and whose pie is as inde- structible as an armored cruiser.
 To acquire thorough knowledge of food stuffs and to become skilful in their prepara- tion is not bad training for the mind and is much surer than trigonOmetry to save our beloved ones from gastritis, ptomaine poison, anemia, indigestion, bad temper, and nor tai sin.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

A PRIL 16, 1S44, Anatole France, whose "A spirit, breathed into the first cellular creation from the Spirit of God, never had beginning, lay gasping with his first breath after division of his soul from that of his mother by amtosis. The rosebud mouth of the baby body in which his ancient spirit was reincarnated, struggled with its first word. When it came it was Mama" the first cry of all men and many animals.
 Mama" formed because of the shape of the oral organs, is a repetition of the name of that oldcn Nature Goddess Ma, who, as Cybele, Rhea, Astarte, Aphrodite and lshtar, was widely worshipped as the Earth Mother in primitive times. The Magma Mater ap- pealed to her children, and still does, through recognition that the attributes we ascrlbe to God are more maternal than paternal.
 Oct 12, 1924, the soul of Anatole France approaching division from it's dissolving temporary home of clay, subconsciously struggled with a last word expressive of love of the divine maternal. Coming through the walls of clay it was the sweet old French word "Maman '-mOther.

unearned. It is in reality an emolument, bonus for doing business at home.
 An outstanding illustration of some of the absurdities of the present tariff has to do with aluminium, product peculiarly American that needs no protection. Of this the St. Louis Post-Dispatch declares: "There is an issue of oppression and spoliation of the people through privi- lege. The plundering of the people through the tariff has been demonstrated in the case of the aluminium trust, the sugar trust, and other monopolistic in- terests whose representatives have dic- tated the tariffs embodied in the act for their own benefit. MT. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, and his family have been greatly enriched by the aluminium tariff. He tried to meet the charge, but failed utterly, and has retired from the field defeated and convicted. The only reply to the vast gains of tariff barons has been evasion" .
 And if there is any doubt where MT. Coolidge stands, the people have only to remember that, by his failure to act, the people of this United States continue to pay these sugar barons tax of $145,000 day more than the Republican tariff commission thinks they should pay.

STATE COMMITTEES DUTY.

The admission of MT. J. w. Minor, the Democratic nominee for member of the Jefferson County School Board, that, al- though enrolled as a Democrat with the party organization, and receiving the nomination for public position, he is contributing to the Republican national campaign fund to defeat national De- mocracy, raises specific issue that must be met by MT. R. B. Evins, the chairman of the State Democratic Committee.
 Whatever may be the technical issues that might be raised to preserve MT. Minors nominative status they are but in- cidental to the distinct moral issue of party obligation involved in this incident. It was Mir. Evins' committee that made ] a recent ruling that no man who voted other than the Democratic ticket next Tuesday would be entitled to participate in subsequent Democratic primaries. Party allegiance was made the test of party utilization.
 Now arises an issue of much greater consequence. Shall one protesting a party allegiance, and receiving party honors through it, maintain his status as party nominee, while giving funds to defeat the very party which sets him forward as its standard bearer?
 The Democrats of Alabama will watch the course of the chairman of the state committee with intense interest and ex- ceeding care. His is party, not per- sonal, responsibility. He will exercise his given obligation for the protection of the party or he will himself neglect it, The election is one week away. Election post mortems will not satisfy Alabama Democrats. What they want, and what they will expect, is action by MT. Evins without delay.
