POTNCARE WTTI. RETTRE

The French elections have returned to the chamber of deputies a majority of members of parties other than the one to which Pre- mier Poincare belongs. Accordingly, the premier contemplates his resignation when the assembly meets in June. To a foreigner the French system by means of which pre- niers resign or retain their seats appears artificial. Usually q premier resigns when a measure he has particularly sponsored is defeated He takes the vote as indication that his leadership and policies are no longer accepted. A premier always resigns when the people return chamber majority against him. Sometimes, however, he is even then a1ked to form a new cabinet the unfavorable majority being interpreted as of significance only as showing that sentiment in unfavor- able localities has been influenced more by the personalities of the candidates than by fheir party affiliations. This is especially fregnefit because of the fact that the French voters do not know unvarying party adher- eace as it is known in this country.
 Rdineare has. been an able leader; but he hMa overlooked many an opportunity to ad- vance the European interest. Undoubtedly An has been forced into more extreme posi- zion, because of the fear throughout France tbat the allied powers were weakening on rep arations payment, on which the French were aehendine for reimbursement in part of their Rehabilitation expenditures in the area long occupied by the German armies. Now that thA Dawes plan and it's ready acceptance by the allied powers has allayed that fear, the policy of Poincare no longer has its former popular appeal, and his leadership accord ingly loses its significance. Poincare in real ity has no valid ground to criticize his coun- trymen, for he has enjoyed a long period of

HOW HEALTH WORK PAYS

To residents of this district who appre- ciate the incalculable value of the public health as an economic no less than social and sentimental asset comparative figures setting forth results of the county health de- partment's activities of late in reduction of communicable diseases are both interesting and reassuring. Within the county outside of Birmingham during the month of April not case of diphtheria or scarlet fever, and only four cases of typhoid, occurred. The typhoid record for the first four months of the year was nineteen eases, as against thirty three for the corresponding period of last year. forty-two for 1922, and twenty nine for 1921. In 1918, the year in which the health department began it's fight against this dis ease, there were forty-seven cases of typhoid during the first four months.
 Thus it is shown what can be accom- plished by enforced quarantine regulations against the spread of communicable diseases. by intelligent sanitary work and by proper use of effective serums. During the period of a year nearly six thousand people have been protected against typhoid by anti-typhoid in oculation. while nearly ten thousand were pro- tected by installation of sanitary outbuildings and improvement of drinking water. Regula- tions regarding the inspection of dairy prod ucts have contributed much to the com mendable record. e
 The work at Leeds is an example of what can be accomplished by proper precautionary measures. Before sanitation in that com munity was begun there were thirteen cases of typhoid in four months. During the first four months of 1924 bhere has been but one ease The total deaths Leeds fn nli

eten greater itfestation than last year by the time the bolls are ready to puncture. In deed, there appears to be no essential rela- ton between the numbers of insects that sur vive tho winter aad the. extent to which these survivors may reproduce themselves. This Is found to be true in the case of flies and mosquitoes. It is fopnd to be true in the case of honey bees. It must be true in the case of boll we*iIs, not only through analogy, but for two other reasons. The first is that, no matter what the winter, the numbers of boil weevils the succeeding summer have not diminished, but have actually increased and extended their territory. The second is that the weevils have crossed northward over the line of freezing winter temperatures that was formerly confidently regarded as the north ern most possible boundary of the weevil in festation.

NEcLEcrINc THE pUBLICs SIDE


 Passage of an ordinance by the city com znission permitting the Birmingham Electric Company to park its tracks on First avenue from Fffty-seyenth to Eightieth streets is one of many instances in which the muniei- pai body has shown greater consideration for the private interest than for the public well fare. The commission appears entirely ob- liTious to the fact that its primary duty in this case, as in every other, is to the public.
 First avenue is the chief east and west hixhway leading to, from and through the city Not only are the convenience and in- teEests of thousands of people in the east ern section of the city and many more in that region beyond the city limits directly affected by this highway, but the entire community, including all the commercial interests with whom the people to the east have business, is concerned in a properly paved thorough fare. 1t is not surprising that citizens of the eastern part of the city are dissatisfied over the action of the commission. They have reason to feel that their interests have been ignored by the official body in favoring the utility.
 Recently the utility sent letters to all of its employees appealing for their cooperation in ebfainfng and retaining the public good will. One way in which this could be done would Dc for the utility to assume its part of the paving of First avenue in accordance with the wishes and needs of Birmingham. and in line with the duty of a utility to help ad- vance the interests of the community from which it has received unusually generous treatment. As for the commissions action, tAess appears to be 10 valid public reason for it.

You Carl Come Back
mg m AnnENoroM nnuan

That is indeed Respondent letter you have written to me. Yesterday you say, you neeeivea notice of dismissal from your pres ent employment. ThiA Is not the first time yUan have unexpectedly been deprived of work. You arc beginning to feel that it is hensleaa for you to attempt to hold place of any kind.
 Which is sheer nonsense.
 \ If you were twenty years older than you areg would say to yon that it is possible not meFelv to prove yourself employable but to- achieve much more in the way of business sneeessE than you have yet done. i Only few days ago I heard of man whoe-in early middle life, married. and in dehtt-was confronted with situation much like yeurss With the unexpectedness of a lightning stroke he found himself out of work Despair snawed at his heart I TOdhyy. though, still on the sunny side of fifty, he is at the head of firm doing | million dollars worth of business every year. And he is only one of numerous men who have made E0od' in industry after years of defeat and failure.
 Now can "colne back and make good too. if yoaf will do one thing that all of them finally did. That is, ask yourself iri. all seriousness why 1t is that you have hith- eFtoa been dogsed by the nAiefortnne of dis miaaal from employment.
 Ittmay be that yon have all alonf been try ins to- do work for which you are not well adapted by nature That is a not uncommon cause of repeated dismissals.
 Ear commoner. however, is stubborn or lthouehkleas adherence to wrong working methoaA 0T a faulty philosophy of work For every man who fails because of an unwise choice of occupation, there are ten who fail heeanse they work over-anxiously or not anxiehsls enough, or because they regard their work from point of view that fore. doemss them to inefffciency.
 Nobody for example, can work really well who accounts ideness more desirable than effort Nobody can work really well who esteemsE the pleasure of play above the re wardss of constructive accomplishment. No hoag cam work really well who would not work at all if he were free from the neces- sify of working
 Now yon know. as do not, what your at tftnds to work hae been. You know whether you have bsenr diliesnt or lazy, loyal or dis loyal, eonseientions or careless in the per- fcrnances of the tasks assigned to you.
 You know whether y0u have been keenly ohserxant or wilfnlly blind when opportuni- ties to, be more useful have been presented to- you. You know whether Son have been willing worker or a shirking worker. Things such ca these arc the things concerning which yon should most earnestly question yourself.
 And den't hesitate to question friends and fellow workers a to faults that you may have without being aware of having them. Let 1t be clearly understood that candor will not give offenses that what you want above all else iss to grow in self-knowledse.
 This presumably is where you have been most deficient. Assuredly, at any rate, in- creased selfsknowiedge that win enable you toD profit from mistakes of the past Is a pre- requisite to the coming back which, I would repeat, is quite possible to you.

THE UBIQUITOUS BOIL WEEVIL

Last January, after the severe freeze many writers, some of them supposedly of au- thoftky, came out in print with statements tenGing to reassure the cotton farmers as to tho boli-weevil prospects for the coming crop. It was stated by many such persons that lie1k infestation of the weevil might conf t6nkly be expected, because of the numbers killed by the freeze. At the same time The A Herald held that the history of insects showed that severe winter freezes could not be relied on to diminish insect numbers the following summer. On the contrary, small nfestations sometimes followed mild winters and heavy infestations severe winters, indi- eating. that the character of the preceding winter has very little to do with the sue ceeding summers insect propagation.
 Now the department of agriculture at Washington issues the warning that farmers annot afford to neglect measures to fight so weeVil in the most vigorous manner. It

causes have been reduced fifty per ceut- though the population of that town has dcn- bled in . little over year. Constructive work by the health department is being &nne .an over the county. Such communities as Lewisburg, Bradford, BriEhton. Rcseaalt, Warrior, and many others, arc seneficinrics of results.
 With such records as are shown, it is plain that greater cooperation by the pahlic nn- thorities in support of the health aspart- ment and it's campaign for improved health conditions throughout'the county are not cnly justifiable, out constitute wise investment The most generous policy consistent with the county's economic ability is the most con- structiye policy.
