ROBBED HAIR AND BEARDs

The vice president of the wholesale beauty trade associations is reported to have discovered a serious situation which may, or may not, affect one of recent styles, crazes, or whatever it may be called, among the women. He de- clared that if the women do not quit bobbing their hair they will soon be growing boards and mustaches. His theory is that hair must have an outlet, and that if it is removed from the top of the head, it will appear through the up- per lip and on the chin, and leave the dome of the cranium like billiard-ball. The theory is supported with the asser- ton that savage men who never cut their hair have very thin boards, and that men who regularly patronize the barber have a lot of beard.
 While the study of racial customs does not bear out this theory, since there are so many exceptions as to discard the rule, doubtless some of the women who have interest in their personal appear ance will shudder St the thought of

LET THE COMMISSION ACT

The city commission, by its adherence to its carefully y-worked-out program Tor separation of grades at railroad cross inrs, deserves the commendation of the people of Birmingham. The commission was apparently unmoved by either the efforts of the chamber of commerce com rnittee to further program not ap- proved by engineers in the public en1- ploy, or by the attempt of the railroads to force through their desires regardless of the public welfare. It is not believed that the commission could easily ignore the consensus of agreement of all the engineers in the public employ in favor of the underpass plan. The commission is properly responsive to it's public obil- gation when it resists all private or quasi private efforts to block or thwart pro- gram conceived with due regard to the best interests of all concerned.
 The railroads threaten court action. Why should that prospect frighten the great municipality of Birmingham! Either this city shall rule itself, or per init the railroads to rule it. Which do jhe reople prefer? The railroads are f,ehtlng for time. They are playing game. They know that the separation of crossing grades is inevitable. But they want to s.,sve it off as long as pos sible. If the city commission had chosen the viaduct plan as the more feasible, what reason IS there to believe that the railroads would not have stood out for underpassssl Invite the railroads out into the open. If they are going to block the program of grade separation, let them be compelled to do it openly, in order that they may reap whatever pubic disapproval such action will bring upon them. They cannot afford to block and halt the progress of their greatest source of tonnage in all this wide South ern field. They are more dependent upon Birmingham than Birmingham is dependent on them, however much there may be ex parte argument to the con- trary. The railroads cannot afford to fight Birmingham.
 Let the city commission proceed without further delay to its course. Let it adhere to that course resolutely, through thick and thin. Let it expedite in every manner the obstacles that will be thrown in the way of this program, and let no act inimical to this project be hidden. Let the fight be in the open, and let the commissioners refuse to be drawn into any more secret sessions. This is public and not private matter. Let it be administered publicly.
 The dignity of the municipality de- mands that the commission enact it's suitable ordinances providing for the projected construction. It is under stood that such ordinances have been prepared for some time. It is also un- dsrstood that there are certain defects in the underpass program that should be corrected in the behalf of the public con- venience and safety. Let such defects be remedied, in accordance with the judgment of able engineers. If the com -7aission capacities where the railroads seek delays, the result cannot but be an earlier enjoyment of the conveniences contemplated, than if the commission should, even involuntarily, further fall victim to various wiles having postpone ment as their object.

Brief Nature Studies
V WHEN hikers throw themselves among
By J. OTIS SWIFT.

THEN hikers throw themselves among w smooth false foxglove, white snake
 root and gerardia in little hol1ows of such mountains as Anthony's Nose, campfire built and supper prepared, there creeps in with the mystic music of crickets and shad- owy dancing feet of nymphs half caught in the light of the moon, the strong perfume of lemons. It is the smell of the crushed flow CTS of stoneroot, richweed or horsebalm, Col linsonia canadensis, of the mint family which the campers have bruised in sitting down.
 It is a stout-stemmed, nearly smooth per- ennial, tall branching, pointed serrate leaves and pale yellow flowers in a loose cluster at the top. Though scented like lemon rind, whose essential oil is used in perfume, it is no relation to that native of northwestern India. Though the flowers are yellow as the Apples of Hespsrides in the garden of the gods, Arethusa never saw them.
 The floral meaning of the lemon is discre- tion, and the stoneroot scents the September night air warningly, for the mountain top midnight will be cold without sleeping bags.

!" "Arflank POiluS''

FATHER BREYNAT, Frenchman and
 lone soldier of the cross in the Boreal
 regions of the Mackenzie, in northern Canada, had his foot frozen last winter. He travelled 700 miles on a dog sleigh to see his bishop, Monsignor Grouard. When he reach ed the bishop gangrene had set in and ampu- tation was an immediate necessity. So Bishop Grouard sharpened the butcher knife. Tears were in, his eyes, and his knees were tremb- ling, but Father Breynat jokingly remarked: Be sure to get fine edge on the knife" Then, without anaesthetics, the bishop went to work and performed the deed, bound up the wound and the two sat down to wait for spring. Both are on a visit to their native LeMans, in France, this summer. Bishop Grouard remarked to French newspapermen l: Well, you see, it was either the fathers foot or his life, so there you are. He limps lit- tie, but for the rest he is sound." 'Poilus ardents, joyeux ct mystiques," Figaro calls the missionaries. Truly there are some he roic soldiers of the Fcross aout there beyond the farthest stakes of civilization. stss3

GERMANS BALK AGAIN

It begins to look as if the German government would be torn over the question of whether or not Germany <Shall admit full responsibility for begin
 az the war. The German delegation Co the London conference accepted the stipulation regarding this matter, but the government apparently has made up its mind to repudiate this part of the cov- enant. It appears therefore that the German government would jeopardize all the great results, so full of promise for German rehabilitation, rather than frankly admit the truth. The history and the record cannot be changed. If the German army had not begun its march on Paris, there would have been no war with France. If the German army had not violated the treaty with Belgium, there would have been no war with Eng land. If the German maritime war pol icy had not deliberately and ruthlessly violated the rights of neutral ships, there would have been no war with America.
 The German stubbornness on this point does not spring so much from fusal to be honest and courageous. It is similar to the German insistence at the Versailles conference that the pay -sI Is!o!JJo uemI9D qua moIJ sB 9p!Id ments to which she agreed should be called separations and not indemnities, since the latter word carried the idea of blame. It is significant that no matter what the term used to designate them, the mere agreement to pay was ac- knowledgement of blame. It's an example

It is an inspired person in the New York Herald-Tribune who refers in dispatch to "the so-called oil scandal" It was a so-called grand jury which indicted the so-called former secretary of the interior for receiving a so- called bribe for surrendering under secret con tracts to so-called oil companies the so-called oil reserves of the so-called United States of America. And it was the so-called president of the United States who did nothing about the so-called crooked deal until certain so- called Democrats and insurgents in congress forced the appointment of certain so-called prosecutors And it is the so-called sovereign people who are asked to ignore the co-called scandals and to reward the so-called Grand Old Party which put the so-called thieves into office and defended them after their guilt was shown by returning it to so-called power in the coming election-so-called.- York World.

From my point of view he only deserves to De called a progressive ~vho cannot see wrong persist without effort to redress It, or right denied without effort to protect II; who feels a deep concern for the economic wei fare of the United States, but realizes that the making of better men and better women is matter greater still; who thinks of every gov ernunental policy first of all in its bearing upon human rights rather than upon material things; who believes profoundly in human equality ana detests privilege in whatever form or In what ever dlsguise, and who finds the true test oi success in the welfare of the many and not thu prosperity and comfort of the lew. The civic unit of America is not the dollar but the in- individual man. All that goes to make better and happier and freer men and women Is progress all else Is reaction.-John W. Davis'

Rest
w THERE congregations ne'er break up
 W And Sabbaths have no end.
By DR. FRANK CRANE
We do not want "the saints .

We do not want "the saints ever lasting rest" nor that other saintly activity of heaven.
 When we say we would like to rest for ever, or that we should love to be always busy, it is but the extravagant over-statement of mood.
 There is but one thing in this regard that we all want, and that is due and proper alteration.
 The true human need is rhythm. Human tormentis lack of rhythm, the continuing of anything too long.
 We live in thus-organized universe with it's night and day. And in climes where there is no change of seasons it is difficult for civilization to develop.
 We crave rest only after surfeit of activity; we crave exercise only after enough rest.
 One great problem of the worlds work is how to get the most efficiency out of the labor. F8
 The higher the order of work, that is, the more it requires brain and nerve rather than mere muscle, the more it needs alteration. That is to say, you can write better novel, or think. out better a business problem, by going away and coming back than by sticking to it. The extra hour you put in when you are Jagged is not worth ten minutes in the morning when you are fresh.
 There has been much cursing of idleness One of the great religious organizers wrote note for his followers:
 Never be uselessly or triflingly employed" And in school we learned the motto :; Give every idle moment something to keep in store" We were exhorted to make every minute count.
 All of which shows how honest people are little crazy. For a mans life can be noth- ing but common place if he is tense and ear nest every waking moment
 likeness is as necessary to good work as is activity. The man who can take hold hard and to some purpose is the man who knows how to let go.
 That body is strongest and fittest that caR relax perfectly between efforts. That mind is likest ''steel that bends and springs again." that can dream and wander at times.
 After this life do not look to sinking into endless rest, nor to go on in ceaseless vigor; but wonder I shall tire and wake again, ac- cording to the law of all life; ' shall be an endless pulsing, and endless rhythm. and not on endless note.

Squalls Of Rain
(Grace Hazard Conkling in Poetry)

This is not loneliness when we can share The very foam that beauty breaks into If the wave leans too far, when all we do Brings us the same delight, the same despair. Though we are lost like music, and the air Forgets us, we were music once I knew Just now your voice again, I saw with you The storm run down a darkening lilac stair! It is all ours this broken ocean is ours, The squalls of rain on my side, trailing
 squalls;
 The tawny -ankled Cornish cliffs on yours, Your thin mauve cloud, your cloudy-pale sand
 flowers
 Below Tintagels epic of old walls. We are not lonely while a dream endures.

boards and mustaches, and may go slow in adopting the spreading style as con- sequence. To most women, however, the present is more important than the fu- ture in the style schedule, and there is no reason to believe that the theory will either scare or bluff them. If they do acquire mustaches doubtless they will also learn to cherish them.
 Women have always dressed and dec orated themselves as they chose, and no amount of argument has changed or will change the habit. Most of them will take chances on anything in the matter of wardrobes except to be out of style. Whether or not the beard and mustache theory is founded on some financial in- terest, the women are apt to defy any theories or warnings. What has mere man to do in the matter of the feminine decoration, except to meet the cost?
