much progress in the general science of sani- tation during the last few years. It has come to be one of the most important branches of public service. It Is founded on the principle of prevention, and can hardly be overestimated in its value for combating disease. More and more are health depart ments of the cities, states and government devoting time and money to the development of sanitary methods on the wise theory that prevention is much more important than cure in the fight against disease. It is science
 that is capable of immeasurable development,
 both in theory and in application.
 Public health conditions show marked i'm
 provement where the civil as well as the health authorities have a proper appreciation of the value and possibilities of modern san Iitary methods. It is doubtful if public reve-
 nues are more wisely invested in any other
 branch of the public service than for cffee- tive sanitary precautions. and regulations.
 This field for service on behalf of the public
 welfare is rapidly extending in proportion to
 the public appreciation of Its value. The re- cent organization of physicians here for the purpose of impressing the value of this work upon official attention is not without point in this connection.

CARDINAL BUSINESS RULES

Simple business rules are always ot value when they are the outcome of experience and not mere academic advice.
 William M. Wood. president of the Amer ican Woolen company, in recent address be- fore the National Dyers and Finishers' as- association at Shawsheen Village, Mass. gave four rules which he declared to be based upon the outcome of practical experiment.
 The first rule was 'NThe Square Deal"
 This is simply the Golden Rule which has survived the rascalities of centuries and proved itself to he safe business principle.
 The second rule is Live Up to Your Word 5 The basis of every permanent business sue cess is integrity. fe
 The third rule is Discourage Gossip and Encourage Loyalty" Gossip breeds mischief. loyalty counteracts the poison of envy and strengthens efficiency.
 The fourth rule given by Mir. Woods is Pro. mote Within the Company the Most Efficient Man. Any organization. any theory, any system of management that encourages lazi- ness and inefficiency. automatically pehalizes those who are industrious and capable-Los Angeles Examiner.

JOt 1t DOUIl
, By H. ADDTNorox rwv'rE

There is a practice. habitual with some people, that might well be pretty generally adopted. It is the practice of carrying in ones pocket a small memorandum book or pad for the purpose of jotting down, at the time of it's occurrence, any helpful idea that comes to ones mind.
 Bright. original ideas as rule come to mind unexpectedly. Seemingly they emerge from nowhere, though actually their source is that region of the mind known as the sub conscious There they arc incubated, as it were. Then when a favoring moment comes they make their presence known. Suddenly, swiftly, they flash upward. Only, unfortu- nately, they tend to fall back into the sub conscious just as swiftly. So that always there is the danger they will be forgotten by those whom otherwise they would advantage.
 This is what actually happens again and again.
 Yesterday" is the remark one from time to time hears, II though of something that would have helped me in this difficulty. But what 1t was I thought of 1 cannot for the life of me recall"
 Or:
 q wish l could remember the phrase that occurred to me the other day. I know it fstruck me at the time as being splendid title for a story. But it is gone." ' <. + UT, again .E Here I am, hindered in the writing of this advertisement just because I can't recol- lect the novel idea got for it when was reading last nights paper. How stupid of me to forget"
 Yet forgetting is the rule rather than the exception so far as concerns ones sudden, unexpected Happy thoughts" Hence the wisdom of those who make it point to have some means available f.r making a written record of them as they occur.
 Some go so far as to keel, by their bedside pad and pencil, so that if any bright ideas come to them during the night they will be noted before sleep has chance to blot them out of remembrance. Not everybody would be willing to do this, and indeed some might l find it more or less serious sleep-dis- turber. taA
 But everybody can at least record the help ful ideas of his daytime hours. And there are comparatively few who would not find the practice surprisingly profitable-provided, to be sure they do not content themselves with the mere recording. Which, astonishing as it may seem, is what some people do .,
 Among my own acquaintances is a man who is the proud possessor of 6 number of little red notebooks filled with ideas that have occurred to him. But, So far as can learn, he never takes the trouble to apply these ideas to practical use. <
 They perhaps give him something in the way of data for conversational purposes. That is about all. It seemingly never occurs to him to utilize them in his daily work. Thus he is almost as badly off as though he never did any idea-recording
 His mistake is one to be carefully avoided. Not the recording. but the using of the ideas recorded, that is the important thing. t

THE SANITARY INSPECTORS

Definite interest in the public health is forwarded by the second annual conference of sanitary inspectors of the state. which opens today in Birmingham. Inspectors will attend from nearly every county in Alabama where organized health work is being done. Many subjects bearing upon improved health conditions and effective methods of prevent ing the spread of disease will be discussed from various angles of practical experience
 Benefits may be obtained from this confer ence through the interchange of information gathered from various localities and under many conditions, while the delegates will in. spect different phases of the effective sanita. tion work being done in Jefferson county by the health authorities, the large corporations, the dairies. milk plants and other industries.
 Much progress has been made in this county in sanitary betterments. The record fT practical results has demonstrated the large value of the service and has been marked by distinguished success in preventing epidemics of communicable diseases and safe guarding the public health. There hes been

When 4 Mule Says No
By wIcKEe wAMRoLDT

Every now and then we meet the individual who has reputation for never changing his mind, and who brides himself on it. When say sNo,' mean No" he boasts with with awe or pride or disgust or dismay, as th' accession impels, 'When he says No he means No" ss,$sss fsTs
 This type of individual is always source of interest to me. wonder what is going on inside of him, and if the part he has east for himself is. not irksonne at times and indeed painful. Possibly he is like the bad man q the West who, having won his reputation; feels obliged to run true. to form, even though it works disaster.
 For the same reason that it is hard to comprehend why any chap wants to be known as the Bad Man of Cory Gulch, it is difficult to see why any man wants to be known as fellow who never changes his mind. What is the point?
 The man who never alters his sfecisions must be in one of two categories he must be infallible in his judgment or he must be plain Ipulish. Now it stands to reason that fallible humans never can be infallible, so our man with the unalterable opinions falls into the mule classification whether he wishes to or not. He is not flexible in his relation to mankind.
 Getting along in this world requires a large amount of give and take. And our stubborn man will not give He will break first. A reed growing by a river bank gazing at great tree broken by storm, might say, If you had bent more you would have bro ken less"
 The world makes progress by changing its opinions Science is obliged to change it's ideas year by year. A mule will not do this. When he says "No," he means "No.' saw fire built under a mule that had said No" and he stood there and let them burn the hair off his underneath because he had said No .s,a
 Truly great men are always seeking light, and to seek light presupposes that one real. lzes that one could be deceived by ones own judgment And to admit that ones judg- ment is capable of error makes for open mindedness. The first step towards getting right is to admit that one might be wrong.
 Hoa certain man had not completely changed his mind, there would have been no Apostle Paul.

Your Luck And Mine
By JOHN CARLYLE

How would you like to walk thirty miles to market over bad roads, prodding an over burdened donkey? And all for a profit of fifteen cents? If you were a woman it might seem even more difficult. Probably it would not, for women can endure more hardship than men. They can carry heavier burdens with less complaint.
 I hay elately spent some sadly interesting days in the Island of Haiti, the Black Re public of the West Indies.
 They were interesting days because they contained new and strange experiences. They were sad because the wretchedness and the poverty of so many of the people of that island republic are beyond adequate descrip- tion. It is true that both women and men walk even more than thirty miles to bring little bundle of vegetables to be laid in the dust of the market place in front of the gaudy cathedral.
 thin, black woman laboriously picked up beans out fthe dirt where she had spilled them. When they were all picked up she had about cupful. Having so little to sell, the poor woman could not afford to lose even a bean.
 I threw dime into the air in this same market place. Instantly more than a dozen men, boys and girls were fighting desperately before my eyes. Their bodies struck the earth with hard thumps. dime is q dime and can be lived on for more than day. Few fthe peoples of the earth are capable of self-government. We prove that over and ove ragain in America. Democracy functions feebly at best. ..
 DemocSaGy functions far more feebly in Haiti. thought it is on the upgrade. It is an experiment in self-government where the people are not ready for it. The land is rich and fertile. But rich and fertile land can not make a comfortable people when less than ten per cent. can read and write.
 Here in America we have schools and we have the free opportunity to attend them. America may not be land of equal oppor. tunity for all. The street corner preachers may be for the humblest in comparison, not only with the Black Republic of Haiti. but in comparison with other nations that strug- gle feebly in the darkness of poverty and illiteracy. Be glad you happen to have been born in America. And if you are an American and don't get ahead. you have no right to the pursuit of sympathy. ,7t

MIR. SINCLAIR AND THE SENATE

It IS nopeu tndC the Onileu otaIeS 0eheto will not be satisfied with voting Harry Sin clair in contempt for his refusal to testify before the committee of inquiry, but that it will apply such penalty as will insure his realization of the gravity of his offense. The public desires the truth as to the oil trans actions in question, and has no patience with any resort to a technicality to block or im- pede the fullest revelation of pertinent facts. If MT. Sinclair has nothing to conceal there can be no good reason for his refusal to tes- tify. If he has something of significance to conceal, then is there all the more reason why, that something should be discovered. No man can be so high or of such affluence that the authority of this government cannot prevail over him as we'll as over the most humble That is the essence of our theory of government.

AN HONOR FOR BIRMINGHAM

Not only in the field of industrial achieve rnent is Birmingham forging ahead with pro- ductive records which are attracting wide spread favorable attention and comment, but it is gaining no little recognition as center of literary attainment. Several Birmingham writers who sought broader literary fields have made good in New York and other cities. Several have preferred to remain in Birming- ham while developing their talents, and have also attained notable success. Among these is Edgar Valentine Smith, whose stories and other literary products have found place in some of the leading magazines. Mir. Smith earned unusual distinction by winning the O. Henry Memorial first prize for the best American story published in 1923, and was recently honored at a dinner in New York when the committee of award made the pre- sentation The title of Mir. Smiths story is Prelude It originally appeared in liar per's Magazine and has been pronounced by eminent literary critics product of very high merit. Mr. Smith, who is assistant city editor of the Birmingham News, is native of Alabama. His prize story was written at his suburban home at Roebuck. Not only have his literary attainments been source of pride to his immediate friends and ac- duaintances, but they have contributed to Birmingham's distinction as the home of men and women who are known for their success in literary work.

THE oUEsTIo OF STREET SIGNS

Suggestion at one of the civic clubs that efforts be made for the proper naming of streets and numbering of houses carries op- portunity for practical service. Few streets in this city are placarded. New streets are constantly opened. Comparatively few peo- pie know their names. Visitors and new. corners have difficulty in finding their way about the city without frequent request for information and guidance. Often they apply in vain for aid because a large proportion of the residents do not know the locations or names of half or more of the old streets and few of the new ones. Business interests with delivery departments lose much time and are put to useless heavy expense because there are few signs. Many residents suffer annoy ance at their homes through inquiries from those who have lost their bearings
 The house numbering situation is equally @ bad Not only are many stores and bus- MeBs houses unnumbered, but a very large proportion of the residences are similarly neg lected. In some blocks there is scarcely a house carrying a number properly displayed. Comparatively few are conveniently num- bered. The result is constant confusion, in- convenience and annoyance not only to those eeeking certain places but to many who aR- swer inquiries late at night whether A or B Hives here" This takes no account of the heavy cost in time and labor wasted in de- liveries and the frequent confusion and losses from mistakes. The mail delivery also is handicapped by the deficiency.
 In some cities there are regulations requir- ing uniform numbers displayed at designated places over the front doors or on transoms, which solve the night problem. In most pro- gressive cities streets are desiEnated by signs.
