guage to me, so l can't understand
what they say, but from free PAM
phlet which they issue in English,
I found the following: 1.-THE Luz
theran church does not believe
that man is the product Of evo-
luton descending from monkey as
the modern philosophers say, but we
believe that man has been created by
God and will be judged by God ac-
cording to his good or bad acts in this
world"
c. s. Is Christian Science.
The last conglomeration is the
Christian Scientists. They arrive at l
p. m. They start with the building of a
special tribune different to all the
other religions. They read chapters
from two Bibles instead of reading
from one like the others. Two
priests" standing up, one at each
end of the table with one Bible apiece,
start to read chapters. One reads a
chapter from St. Mathew and the
other one reads another chapter from
st. John; so l guess for this method
Of reading from two Bibles and be-
cause they build different tables, is
why they call themselves Christian
Scientists. This is the last act of the
free show which ends at D. m.
After having seen all this praying
to God for our daily bread and SO
much LOOK AND HOPE, the $500
convicts begin to march towards the
mess hall where they are served with
the regular diet of red beans. From
the mess hall to our hell cells, praying
to our God for our daily bread, sleep
ing all night in our filthy hunks, look
ing up and hoping for piece of steak,
we wake up next morning in the same
San Quentin hell.
When the slaves get organized and
throw off their yoke, then we will
cease to LOOK UP AND HOPE! When
they get organized, they will look up
and get what they want and what they
need. AS long as they remain unor-
ganized they will have to look up at
what the parasites get.-No. 1891.

MOSCOW, May 13-(By MaiD.-
It was reported at the recent Central

China Thumbs It's Nose.

In the next place, Hughes had been
saving up that trick card-the claim
for S5,000,000 against the Chinese
Eastern railway, which the allies
seized and used in military operations
against Russia in 1918, and held until
1922. Then the Hughes conference
in Washington in 1922 agreed that
China should hold the bag and be re-
sponsible to the allies for all stocks,
bonds and debts of the road. When
China began negotiating with Russia,
this year, for return of the road to
Russia, Hughes warned the Picking
government that the allies had made
an agreement that China must be held
responsible for debts. He mentioned
this $5,O00,0OO. China has now noti-
fed Hughes and Japan and France,
each one having spent money on the
same military enterprise, that it holds
itself responsible to none OF them.
Russia Laughs, Too.
This graceless conduct on China's
part is saddening to Mr.. Hughes. He
feels that the Chinese ought to know
that the American occupation of the
railroad was solely to protect China's
open door" against Japanese designs
1t was all for China's good, and for
the good of the people of Russia, op-
pressed by the cruel Bolsheviki.
China, nudging Moscow and hiding a
laugh in her sleeve, can't see the be-
nevolence in that American occupa-
ton. She remembers that the Rus
sian Whites, whom the allies pro-
tected, slaughtered thousands of her
railway employees out of sheer lust of
killing, and destroyed millions of dol
lars worth of property.
In earlier discussions OF the protest
sent to Picking, Hughes made no men,
ton of his s5,O00,000 claim. The
Chinese brought it to light when they
replied that they would pay no bills
for the military activities OF the
United States, Japan and France
against the Russians.

PARK BOARD sQUABBLE.

To the people of Birmingham, the suuabble in the park board appears ln- spired by the effort to gain political con trol and not by any concerted desire to serve the public purpose for which the commission was formulated. No con structive program has been set forth to show for the several months of the com missions existence, and the present out look is that such a program is remote contingency. Perhaps the most construc- five suggestion yet made is that the members resign, and yet there IS pubic feeling that those who suggest or are will ing to follow such a course are the very ones most needed on the board. They ht least show that their principal desire is not to strongarm the board to their will. It is doubtless a mistake to have any member of the city commission on the park board, for that involves the board in the politics of the commission! which is added misfortune. The board should be composed only of puhlic-spiriteG citizens who are willing to submerge all personal ambitions and feelings into the single purpose of giving to Birmingham the very best park facilities possible That is obviously and unmistakably not the purpose of some of the present mem hers

believed that the outcome would be so favorable as Labor believes.
 Aside from the politics of the situa- ton, the Macdonald ministry has been more of disappointment to its follow ing than source of alarm to the oppo- sition. There has been no capital levy bill presented, as was promised at the hustings, and there has been similar fail ure to present other pet measures ,spon- sored by the party before it's accession to power. But there are two solid achievements that cannot be gainsaid. They are the agreements made in con- nection with reparations and the recovery of Central Europe, and the bill providing for boundary commission for Ireland. So much cannot be said for the treaty with Russia and the recognition of the soviet. Indeed, it is believed that that is the rock on which the ministry has foundered, and that the British are still at heart unwilling to connect themselves too closely or conspicuously with such an outcast crew as at present rules in RuSsia

LABOR MINISTRY TESTED.

The British labor ministry has chosen to regard as a vote of censure bill passed by the House of Commons calling for an inquiry into the withdrawal of the governments prosecution of communists. Accordingly, the king is asked to dis solve Parliament and to call for a gen eral election. It is hard not to believe that the ministry has seized upon the vote as an opportunity to increase La bor's representation in Parliament. Premier Macdonald expressed regret over the ''triviality" of the cause which Impelled the house to vote as it did. But to the lay observer, it appears that the ministry itself is at fault for affecting to regard so trivial a cause as the basis for R vote of censure. It looks very much as If the ministry had been looking for bomething to hang a new election on.
 Some do not think that the election would materially alter the present strength of the three parties, but the La Dor party is convinced that the people will return them in larger numbers than ever. Even so, new coalition between Liberals and Conservatives would still bold the majority power, and it is not

REID ENDORSES UNDERPAssEs.

MT. John W. Reid, commissioner of public works of Detroit, who has just completed a study of the grade-crosslng plans and situation in Birmingham, IS credited with the solution of two hum dred grade separations in his own city. Undoubtedly that experience permits him to speak with an authority beyond the average in this vexing question. It IS gratifying to note that the plan espoused by the city commission and endorsed by Engineers Hawkins, Kirkpatrick, Ken drick and others is, with certain modiflca- tions. endorsed also by MT. Reid. It shows that the city commission has been on the right track and has been fur nished with good advice.
 The notifications suggested by MT. Reid are remarkably similar to those pre- yiously suggested by MT. Kendrick, name lv. that the street grades be modified Dy making the track elevation slightly great CT and the street dip slightly less. It IS also easily deducible from MT. Reid's pre- liminary statement that he regards the public convenience and not the prlvate nnrnose of the railroads as the controil- in0 Consideration. In fact, MT. Reid even goes so far as to suggest possibility set forth some months ago by The Age-Her- aid, to the effect that in planning TOT Birniingham's future growth some read iustment of railroad trackage according to more efficient plan might be in or- der. The commission would do well to consider carefully MT. Reids suggestion as to tspossible relocation of some ot the existing railroad facilities, particularly such facilities as are at present congested and inadequate, or that have no place under the caves of.a passenger terminal
 It is evident that the plan of under passes beginning with Twentieth street and westward is the only one that com cides with the city's best interests. The advice to make "city-wide study Of the problem," however, is too sound to be neglected. Such study need not involve delay in beginning the underpass prS7 gram. But the underpasses should v, modified so that the grades will be reduced to the degree approved by MT. Reid. Mir. Kendrick and engineering opinion in general The construction will be permanent and therefore it must be correctly outlined.

sATsUMAs TEACH LESSON.

The loss to one group of Satsuma growers through the freeze of last winter is irrepar= able. Those whose groves were practically wiped out lost not only theirachief source of revenue but their courage as well and have no heart for a fresh start Notwithstanding their plight, the Satsuma industry, as whole. has gained substantial benefits as a result of the frost and the lessons last January's low temperatures taught. s
 The recovering groves are text books on Satsuma culture into which the steadfast orchardists are digging as assiduously as the studious always dig at their fountains of learning, and with as profitable results. The ralIying trees reveal the clements of survival and the conditions which stimulate recovery. Such q demonstration as this is invaluable to the industry.-Mobie News-Item.

Joe Nader of Birmingham, after discussing the many versions of the sentence concern ing the Belgian hairdresser, submits one him. self. Mir. Nadler's phraseology is as follows |:
 "A picture, thirty inches by twenty, of steamer with red tunnels and black hull on gray sea has been woven from human hair by a Belgian hairdresser."
 Mr. Nadler continues, Ut does seem that the above gets the different phrases in their proper relation to each other and though we aren't able to put right at first the idea that the picture is woven from human hair we feel that it is better to put it in its natural grammatical order than to make that sacrI" flee to gain the little we would in making the interesting part come first.

The Wi1.doev Of Self.
THE most useful thing one needs to learn
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
effectiveness of effort. is humility.


 to promote his own peace of mind and
 effectiveness of effort, is humility.
 Humility is no more nor less than that state of mind in, which one ignores ones self. 5
 There is no unspotted happiness when self is present. The minute you exclaim: How happy I m!' you are conscious that cloud has obscured the serenity of your hour.
 This is often expressed by the notion T am too happy. It cannot last. Something evil is sure to happen" Which is merely a cus- tomary, though fantastic. way in which we give evidence that Belf-consciousness has spoiled our bliss.
 Contrast for instance, the glee of little child and the elation of those grown people who are getting drunk. Tn the first case joy is unaware of itself and shines out as simply as perfume radiates from a flower or spar kles of lustre dart from a diamond. In the other instance they call the attention of them selves and of each other to the fact that we are jolly good fellows, which nobody can deny.' For the difference between being inc toxicated with the spirits of corn on the one. hand and the spirits of youth on the other is precisely the difference between conscious and unconscious hilarity. One is disgusting. the other charming.
 Let the orator become suddenly aware ot his hands and feet and straightway he is tongue-tied. Only when self has disappeared wholly does he pour the fire of his heart di. rsctly into his hearers hearts. The gift of humility is the art of moving speech.
 Humility is the secret of good manners. Whoever moves about and talks in forget fulness of self is innately polite. The boor and awkward lout is simply the person who is oppressed with himself.
 It was said of Matthew Arnold, that "he discovered the Durely intellectual importance of humility. To see things clearly, he saidS you must get yourself out of the way The weakness of pride lies after all in this: that ones self is a window. It can be colored window, if you will; but the more thickiy you lay on the colors the less of window 1t will be- The two things to be done with a window are to wash it and then forget 1t.

 Plants early -to-bed, nod in the starlight. Boys marking hickory trees come upon the brown, ghostly shell of seyenteen-year-locusts split up the back where the creature emerged, leaving the skin of his former self clinging to tree.
 Found in autumn, when the plant world is preparing for sleep before the spring rein carnation, the shell of the seventeen-year-lo- cust suggests that reincarnation is not only an established law of Nature as shown in the annual flow of life energy into new bodies, but that loving Mother Nature leaves these shells behind to show us that we can get away from our former hkenesses whenever we will stop grubbing in the darkness of earth and climb out into sunlight.

THE TRUE PROGRESSIVE.

From my point of view he only deserves to be called Q progressive who cannot see a wrong persist without an effort to redress it, or a right denied without an effort to protect 1t: who feels Q deep concern for she economic welfare of the United States, but realizes that the making of better men and women is 6 matter greater sail; whe thinks of every governmental policy fires of all in it's bearing upon human rights rather than upon material things; who be- neves profoundly in human equality and detests privilege in whatever form or in whatever disguise, and who finds the true test of success in the welfare of the many and not the prosperity and comfort of the few. The civic unit of America is not the dollar, but the individual man. All that goes to make better and happier and frcer men and women Is progress; alI else is re- action.-JOhn ". Davis.
