letter written to +. H. Plowhcad. was
read Thursday before the Caldwell

the suggestion that action should be
taken to preserve this relic at its pres

Possible removal OF this stone was
discussed by the board OF directors OF

a story as knew the country and

are talking about for we saw and lived
through it.
"You get some OF our old pioneer
friends to go TO the Caldwell CONNER

campers from building fires against
the rock and splitting it off in chips.

Brief Nature Studies
.ANE here from Tacoma five days ago."
BY }. OTIS SWIFT

"%AME here from Tacoma five days ago"
writes Mrs. Edna b. Harter of Pasa-
dena from Paradise Valley, Rainier
National Park, Washington. THE elevation
of the valley is 5,557 feet and the big, snowy,
glacier-circled peak is above US. In this ma
tional park, as in all, wild game is unmolested
and big black bears feed at the garbage dumps
near the camps and let US stare at them,
though it's rather spooky in the twilight.
"a young buck deer fairly owns the camp
and has been found asleep, on a cot in tent,
and very stubborn at being evicted. But the
wonder of the trees-the dozens of varieties
of evergreens and the beauty and unusual
variety of shrubs! Have you read John
Muir's Mountains of California? These
peaks and glaciers and mountain meadows
and hanging gardens he describes in an
inimitable way. Beautiful Swiss-style hotel
here, but we are roughing it all the hundreds
of miles in travel.
"Tents and cots, blankets, cooking utensils,
folding table and folding gasoline stove to
use when camps do not have sheet iron stoves
and wood free, as here! We have met mist
and rain, but though we get wet we do not
take, cold"

Forum OF The People
Next Sunday Is Life Insurance Day.
, the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
At largely attended meeting of the Bir-
mingham Association of Life Underwriters
held on Friday, September 18th, a resolution
was unanimously adopted endorsing the first
Sunday in October as Life Insurance Day. ?
The National Association of Life Under
writers at Los Angeles at its July conven-
ton had taken this step. Impressed by the
momentum gained by the movement, the
president of the National Association and its
executive committee requested the foregoing
action of us. The governor of Tennessee has
issued a proclamation and we placed in the
hands of Governor Brandon on Saturday a
request for a similar proclamation in this
state. Sermons in the churches on October
9Th are greatly desired. The attitude of the
local association is that agents do not wish
to seem to desire commissions from the pub
lie, but they do greatly desire all the pub
LEFTY that can be obtained for the business
of life insurance and because of it's semi
religious and moral character, it is fit sub
ject for treatment in our pulpits.
The Spectator Company of New York pub
fishes combined aggregates as Of December
31st 1923 showing life insurance in force
in the United States amounting to $685.
534 10000, with admoitted assets composed of
the best securities available in the nation
amounting to $9,454, 600, 793.O0. The nature
of the business can be well realized by reflect
ing upon the fact that this fifty-six billions
now, compared with sixteen billions ten years
ago and this nine billions of securities now
has doubled in the same ten years and that
practically every dollar of this insurance has
been taken out by men for the protection OF
women.
If Governor Brandon sees fit to issue the
proclamation respectfully suggested to him the
movement will gain great momentum in Ala
bama, but the Birmingham Association of Life
Underwriters is undertaking to do whatever
it can do in the short time given
Life insurance men do not wish to appear
to ask for sermons on the subject of life in
surance. What we want is not more COM
missions for the agents but more insurance
for women and children. ~
BEN W.. LACY,
President.

THE CASOIINE TAX.

The state collections from the gasoline
tax for the month of August amounted
to more than one hundred and sixty
nine thousand dollars, the largest total
for any single month to date. This
money is divided equally among the
sixty-seven counties after the expenses of
collection are deducted. The distribu-
ton in this case amounts to about
twenty-five hundred dollars per county.
The law provides that the money shall
be expended in the construction and
maintenance of roads and bridges and
for no other purpose. To be sure, spe-
cial tax should be spent for a special
purpose. But in this case it does not ap-
pear that motorists who must pay the
greater part of the tax receive a return
at all commensurate with its cost. The
state collects the money, but withdraws
from responsibility for its proper e1

Watching The Parade
BY JOHN PILGRIM

n TOT long ago / ran across Old Jerry
IN Kearns on the street. Hadn't seen him
for years. He grabbed me with pulsa-
tions of joy;
You gotta come up and meet the wife,
said he.
That is very often strain on friendship,
but the wife was all that Jerry said Of her.
Good looking, trim, well dressed, full of in
formation about the theatre and movies. But
somehow dull mentally, it seemed to me-
And apt to drop into peevishness on slight
provocation
II think Jerry ought to be able to come
home earlier" said She, I'm so lonesome
But he never gets here until it is just time
to go to dinner
They live in neat little suite in an up
town hotel. And Mrs. Jerry does not do one
blessed thing from morning to night, save
dress herself. The maid cleans the room and
makes the beds. The hotel cooks and walters
serve the meals. Her breakfast is served in
bed because she does not like to get up as
early as Jerry must. Her activities are visits
to the dressmakers, to the theatre, to her
girl friends. She is as dead mentally as one of
last weeks fish.
"She thinks l ought to get out here to en-
terrain her." said Jerry, in perfect good hui
NOR. But, darn it, cannot get away from
business during the afternoon"
There are thousands of wives just like
her. Fine girls but they live too soft. Too
easy. They have nothing to do. The limit of
responsibility they assume is hairy pup.
Not many of them even have a canary bird,
because canary birds are more difficult to care
for than dog. BY and by they get fat and
their looks go and their tempers are fed high
with too many chocolates. And then the
Jerrys of their combination get tired of drag

THE HUMRURG.

When men and women who were
the topnotchers of the progressive movement
in 1912 and thereabOut unite in accommodation
of Senator LaFOllette's attempt to arrogate
to himself the name and the watchwords of
Theodore Roosevelt, we may be sure that they
will say something pointed and significant,
and they have certainly said it in the pro-
nuncimento that they have put forth in rebuke
of this pretension. &C.,. . o.
Though he is sagacious enough to know
in his heart that he no longer has any hope
of becoming president, he has apparently re-
solved to make this year the final and most
sensational splurge of his self-centered ca
reer, resolving to ruin, if he can, where he
cannot rule; and for this purpose he has
adopted an honorable party name whose con-
notation is dear to many thousands of Ameri-
cans.
The LaFollette movement, insofar as it is
not public danger, is humbug. 1t would
be hard to say which of these factors pre-
dominate in its composition.

The Right Word

DIR. A. N. Jones of Walton Ky' writes al
follows:
Though l am nearing 10, i enjoy the
pleasures and benefits coming from your
column, as much as ever.
II am coming to you for the purpose Of
having you settle difference of opinion with
regard to the sentence which follows:

public the creation of the firm of johnson
and Morris, who has Tor have) determined to
make every effort to cater to the wants of
the public in an expert and efficient manner.
please state which form of the verb should
be used and why it should be used"
Today's deliberate error will be found in
DIR. Jones's letter. The correspondent and
others are challenged to find it.
The relative pronoun who really refers to
firm, and therefore the prOnOun should be
changed to which. The right word is has;
as, the firm of johnson and Morris, which has
determined :. The firm is thought of al
a unit in this sentence.
OF course it is conceivable that johnson
and Morris may have themselves determined
to make every effort, ETC., in which the SEN
tence might read as follows: I'VE most re-
spectfully announce to the public the crea'

MRS. FERGUSON WINS FIRST BOUT,

Mrs. Ferguson has won in the district
court as to her contested right to run for
the governorship of Texas. The case
will be carried to the court of appeals,
thence to the supreme court. 1t is argued
that Texas law provides that only men are
eligible to this office, because of the
common-law tradition as to women in
public office. The court held, however,
that times have changed and that wom-
en- are no longer Disseminated against in
politics on account of sex. That appears
to be the sane and intelligent view.
Common law always yields to statutes.

THE TRUE PROGRESSIVE.

From my point of view he only deserves
to be called q progressive who cannot see
n wrong persist without effort to redress
IL, or a right denied without an effort to
protect 1t; who feels o deep concern for the
economic welfare of the United States, but
realizes that the making of better men and
women is matter greater still; who
thinks of every governmental policy first
of all in its bearing upon human rights
rather than upon material things; who be-
lieves 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
sand not the prosperity and comfort Of the
few. The civic unit Of America ID not the
dollar. but the individual man. All that
goes to make better and happier and freer
men and women is progress; all else Is re-
action.-John w. Davis.

HENRI FOCsT IN THE wANDERER

Long, long since we passed-but the cranes
take flight
As ever, at laughter on moonlit bars,
Their long legs lattice the~sprays of stars
That cling to the high Oriels of night;
AS ever the placid lake waters Groom,
Incessant as time, in magnolia hills
The mockingbirds wake; their silvery
trills
Ring down June nights enamored of the
moon
Long long since we passed-but loves fool

Ensnare the eager ones who come to Stake
An eternal thirst from the widowed brake
Where the same strange moon like an atoll
lies,
And they too drink rapture to its bitter
lees

They entered a shop on the Bo'.4vard Haus-
