Avoid TaintS in
Milk by Feeding
Tests Show That Green Al

Odors Than Does Corn.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF ARriculture1
Undesirable fiavOrs and od0rs In
milk produced by feeding green alfal-
IA, green corn. or turnips may be pre-
vented by giving these feeds at the
proper time or they may be reduced
by thorough aeration OF the milk.
These conclusions have been reached
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture after extensive tests In
which experienced milk judges who
had no knowledge OF the samples gave
their opinions about the quality OF
the milk. The results OF the tests OF
green alfalfa and green corn have
been published in Department Bulle-
tin 1870, Effect OF Feeding Green Al

results Of the investigations on tur-

A NEGRO ACHIEVEMENT

Dedication of the new negro Masonic temple in Birmingham last week was an event denoting 8 progressive spirit among the colored people of this state. Not only is the edifice credit to that part of the city in which it is located because of it's imposing appearance, but it represents thrift and enterprise on the part of those made it possible. It is said to be the largest constructive enterprise ever car ried out in the state entirely by negroes. It stands as a monument to the success with which its builders managed their financial affairs.
 One of the speakers said that eleven years ago the negro grand lodge of the state was one hundred thousand dollars fin debt, but that today it has more than five hundred thousand dollars on the other side of the ledger, after settling all claims against it. That is a record which speaks for itself. An organization which can accomplish such an achieve ment has shown it's capacity to handle it's affairs and has contributed generously to the interests of the negro race in this state.
 There is pride in the requirement of property that is worth while. It shows that those who do it have been indus trious and capable. It emphasizes that they have made good use of their time and opportunities, and that they are pro ducers. Ownership of property usually goes long way towards developing the sentiments of respect for the law and ob- servance of property rights.
 The negro Masons of Alabama are to be commended on having accomplished something that is worth while, not only from constructive point of view, but through a wholesome example from which members of the race will find Orofit

GOVERNOR BRYAN'S ATTITUDE

Although it is commonly thought that Governor Bryan has opposed the defense day program outlined by the president, it should not be overlooked that the war department has announced that the in- structions given by Governor Bryan in connection with defense day activities fully cover the desires of the department. Governor Bryan, as subordinate in rank to the commander in chief of the armies, has obeyed the orders of his superior. As a citizen he has declared himself un- sympathetic with mobilization of reserve forces as valuable peace demonstration. But he has not opposed either the idea of a federal reserve or of the National Guard.
 It is important that this question shall not become political one. The national defense is an important part of our mili- tary program, and is continuation of the policy advocated and endorsed by President Wilson. There is no question of party involved, but the question of adequate national defense It is not be- heved that the fears of arousing mil itary spirit by mobilization are we'll founded. On the contrary, it will doubt less inspire young men with a desire to participate annually in the civilian military activities. That will be a result worth while

A FEMINIST PROGRAM

The National Woman's party, through its election conference, has adopted a resolution that hereafter the women of the country should support all nominees, regardless of their political affiliations, who will support "the Equal Rights amendment and the general feminist pro- gram" This seems to have been largely the result of activity by Miss Alice Paul, Eice-president of the National Woman's party, who has figured frequently in ag- itatiOns regarding women's rights or privileges, and who has strongly made claims for what she regards as ordinary justice to women. She asserts that women are not getting anywhere in pol itics, and that it is futile to wSit for the very slow process of evolution. During the last four years," she says, "only four women have been in congress, and none of them has been of any value to the woman's movement" She would appar- ently subordinate all other political mat ters to what she calls the policies of feminism, whatever that may be, as sep

REGULATING DANCING

At the recent annual reformation of modern dancing under the auspices of the International Association of Masters of Dancing the organization decided, as usual, what steps may be taught and what shall be taboo under penalty of expul- sion. These momentous decisions are officially made every year, but they are purely theoretical, and have no bearing upon the demeanor of young people, peo- pie of middle age or of ancient origin, who, despite the periodical qualification, dance according to their tastes and in often inventing new and strange steps as they go along.
 Comparatively few people learn from dancing masters, but from one another and from stage exhibitions. Styles in dancing are largely a process of evolu- tion. Steps of 1900 are now regarded as awkward and absurd, some of them vulgar. By the canons of 1900 the waltz, which was the craze in England shortly after that period, was regarded by the dancing masters as shockingly vulgar. Even worse were regarded the Spanish and Italian styles by the Puritans along about the period of James I.
 Many cities have undertaken to pre- scribe rules and regulations as to de- meanor on the dancing floor, but with comparatively little success. All sorts of efforts have been suggested by way of abolishing or, at least, modifying jazz in it's varied gymnastics; but apparently the disease has to run its course. Chap
 erons are little less effective than if they

PEOPLE SHOULD BE WARY

s.i# There are two factors in the move 41aent to urge the mayor-aldermanic form ~7ef government upon this city which should cause the people to be wary of it. = The first is that it apparently had it's origin with few office-holders and po- Hticians who may or may not have some unrevealed purpose. Second, so-called nlass-meetings that have been held from time to time, and especially the one Mon day night at the courthouse, are not con- yincing. A handful of people cannot prop = erly be called a mass-meeting in the broad sense of the word in the great city of Birmingham. Therefore, the trans actions of these meetings need not be re- garded as in any degree representing the sentiment of the people of this com munity.
 Unless the people take definite inter- D est in shaping public policies, the politi- aeians will do it for them. The people will have to go into politics in the public be- half, or there will be individuals who will stay in politics in their private be- half. 7, The mayorealdermanic form of govern ment is a doubtful experiment and a backward step. Its theory is that all sec tions of the city will have representation but practically it will mean that a new political machine will have control in every section. This should be resisted by people who believe in clean and wig Orous government

MOhammedans Quarrel

Grave indignation is expressed by the Egyptian Musselman press over the recep- tion of the annual Egyptian pilgrimage to Mecca by the king of the Hedjahs. It appears that, the Egyptians, who came under leader ship of the Mahmal, the highest representa- tive of the Caliph El Islam, another shadow of God upon earth" were molested and were housed in a hostelry of which the water con duits had purposely been shut off for their seven days stay On the holy carpet which the Egyptians yearly bring with them and on which the Kaaba or holy stone reposes, the king of Egypt had ordered his name stitched with gold embroidery This border the king of the Hedjahs ordered removed and proverb from the Koran substituted. What annoys the Egyptian Moslems most of all is the assump- tion of the king of the Hedjahs, who seems to have taken it upon himself to act as if he were the head of the Mohammedan religion. There is a possibility of a new secession in the Mohammedan religious body. The deputa- tion upon its return to Cairo forwarded for mal notice to the Holland government noti- flying it that hundreds of Dutch subjects from Java, who were also on a pilgrimage, had perished along the roads for lack of water. So that it looks as if the king of the He'd jahs will get a lecture both from London and The Hague.

The Worlds Windo.v
An Old PIanetarium
By PIERRE VAN ,PAssEN

M TOW that scientists the world over are IN peering with fixed intensity at the
 planet Mars as it comes hurtling through space toward our terrestrial orbit, it is interesting to recall visit to the planeta- rum, constructed by the Frisian yEyse Eysin- gha in the sixteenth century, which till this day accurately records and demonstrates the movements of the chief heavenly bodies. The planetarium is located in the small town of Franeker in Friesland. In the room where a miniature Armament has been installed, balls of varying size are suspended from the ceiling with thin iron chains Apertures in the ceiling make 1t possible for the bodies to move gradually as the clockwork to which they are attached, and which is located on the floor above, rolls off. So accurate and pre- else is the movement of the imitation stars, comets and nebulae that astronomers from various countries journey to Franeker each year to watch the movements. Mars in the little room moves at the same rate as the Mars in the heavenly space, around the room every 120 years. At the present time it ac- tually comes closer to the earth than it has been for 200 years and win be for another POO years. Eyse Eysingha, who perfected this marvellous System, was a wool merchant with a hobby for astronomy. Tourists should not neglect to see this curious and interesting, man-made solar system. There are other things to be seen in Franeker, one of which is town ball of the purest Dutch renaissance style.

arate and distinct from the interests of men. ..
 If Miss Pauls views prevail, it would seem that there is to be a woman's bloc in congress, which would complicate things even worse. than now. However, it is interesting to. note that vigorous op- position to the Equal Rights amendment is manifest from bodies of working women who, are afraid that the legis- lation they have obtained for women en- gagged in industry will be swept away.
 Miss Paul errs in the assumption that the women of the country will vote as a unit on this or any other proposition in opposition to the men. If an argument relating to a question of public policy be sound, it will appeal to men and women alike. If it is not sound, it will enlist the support of neither. Women do not vote as a unit. They are more ir- clined to consider the merits of a prop osition than at any time since they took active part in politics.

The Theatre
1.-THE THEATER has position in currept
By DR. FRANK CRANE

ErTSHE THEATER has position in current
 literature it in no way deserves. Whole
 A columns and often pages are devoted to reviews of new plays in the newspapers, be- sides no end of stage chat. The movements of the famous actors and actresses are chron- ciled as though America were an Austrian duchy and stage celebrities it's illustrious high nesses. Few magazines dare to appear with out half-dozen pages displaying the feminine beauty of the footlights.
 Nobody objects to the theater nowadays as an essentially immoral institution; the num- Der of preachers and other noralists who con demn acting in toto has become smaller and smaller. It is recognized that the theater may be an educational and ethical force.
 It is made, by modern playwrights, man. agers and actors, thing of mere amusement. Of course, it is necessary that play be amusing, but when entertainment alone is strived for, when the players ambition goes no further than to be heard, to catch the at- tention, to make laugh or thrill, and when there is no serious purpose, no message or life-truth behind the performance, then the whole business becomes essentially cheap; and easily slips over into being nasty.
 Mere fun, mere diversion, by and by always peters out; it becomes the unmitigated bore such as nine-tenths of the new musical com edies are, where the old gags are worked over and over, and the old masses or haI-dres6eQ girls are gyrated to fillip the jaded interest of the audience, and shreds of old melodies are re-woven, like rag-carpet, into alleged new" tunes.
 The trouble with the modern theater is not that it is naughty, but that 1t is just poor. To this, of course, there are grateful excep, tions. But the typical stage person, speaking to the modern public, could truthfully re- hearse the old vaudeville quip: Forgive mel am not a bad woman; l am, only q bad actress"
 There is more education, and often more amusement in moving-picture shows than iD all but few plays.
 Nobody goes to the modern theater to learn how to speak the English language, CT foy moral uplift, or for instruction. People go ;o the show for fun, or say, diversion
 There are plenty of vital, throbbins themes there are moral issues, social truths, persena mysteries, and spiritual problems that grip mems souls today; the age is full of high ear nestness; what the .theater needs is the play wright who has better ambition thai merely to play the fool mad raise laugh, or to luggls the old melodramatic horrors and raise shudder the playwright who has a new vis' ion of human nature, message that shGit prove his right to be heard,
 The theater might be made chief force in national life an institution of culture sAa throne of power.

NapoIeon's Letters Found

Sketches, battle plans, letters. essays and short stories from the hand of the great Ma poleon have been found in Czecho-Slovakia, according to reports from Prague. The letters, S11 in number, constitute the Corsican's cor respondence with Czar Alexander of Russ sia and the king of Prussia. The sketches in- clude some crude caricatures of such fa- nous historical figures as Marshal Ney, ''the bravest of the brave;" Murat Queen Hor- tense, Pauline, sister of Napoleon, and the emperor of Austria. In the collection is also the death mask of Napoleon, thought to be the original one taken by Dr. Antommarchi on St. Helena. When placed on display in shop window in Prague for inspection by the pub He, the sidewalks became impossible on &C., count of the crowds and traffic was inter rupted, so that the mask had to he removed.

InterlOckins DirectOrates

Moscow will be forced to recall at least six of its diplomatic attaches in the Polish capital. Investigation by the Polish police has definitely established that instead of attend ing to their work as diplomats these men have been engaged in directing revolutionary prop aganda. Of course, to the established concep- tion of international relations this constitutes a grave breach of confidence, but to the reds 1t comes rather natural. To them, incompre- hensible as it may seem, black is simply white, so to speak. Moreover, soviet repre- sentatives in different countries not only rep resent the; government at Moscow, but they are also the ambassadors of the Third Inter- nationale, which has its headquarters in Mos COW. The government of Russia and the com munist party offer the spectacle of prole- tarian interlocking directorate To a com munist every phase of political and economic life becomes a tribune of propaganda. Com munist deputies elected to the parliaments of Germany, France, Holland and Belgium do not take their seat in order to participate in the administration of the countries they are merely there to seize every opportunity to rise and speak in behalf of their economic theory.
