WORLD COURT PROPOSAL.

Senator Swanson, of Virginia, has ex- pressed the fear that the world court pro- posals will receive little serious attention in a senatorial committee during the next session of congress. President Coolidge is expected to have decided influence in determining the matter. That these pro- posals will go through without aid from an authoritative and influential source such as can proceed directly from the White House is hardly to be expected in the present situation.
 The plan of participation in the world court was inherited, so to speak, by the president from his predecessor. He gave it his approval apparently more as a duty than as a fixed conviction. Whether or not he firmly believes in its principles and it's benefits for the promotion of world peace, he has manifested no spe- cial vigor in supporting the project. While Secretary Hughes, on behalf of

BUSINESS ON THE FARM.

As an example of what can be accom- plished through practical methods ot farming under instruction in vocational agriculture as taught in the county agrl- cultural high schools of Alabama, 1t IS announced that a fifteen-year-old pupil of the high school at Ohatchie produced a full bale of cotton on an acre ot ordl- nary gray gravelly soil with only four hundred and fifty pounds of home-mlxed fertilizer. at a total cost of $24.25. The lad followed methods taught in the agrl- cultural high schools under the super vision of the state board of education.
 It is a lesson to many of the older farm- CTS of the state in the benefits which can be obtained by the right kind of farm ling, and emphasizes the importance of the yield per acre at minimum or cost' rather than the increase of acreage at cost which permits of little or no profits. There are boys in many parts of the state who, by pursuing progressive
 nethA!s of farming, are teaching helpful lessons to their elders in the farming ln- dustry. They are putting business into farming. The more the farming in dustry of this state comprehends that farming is a business, the greater the prosperity for that industry.
 For several years the agricultural schools Of the state have been doing a highly constructive work by training the youth in better farming methods and more productive results at minimum of expense Corn and pig clubs among the boys have accomplished much through im- pavement of both quantity and quality of products. Canning clubs among the girls have done much to solve the prob lens of domestic life on the farm. Bank CTS and business men have encouraged these movements as foundation for in creased prosperity and contentment in

FILL THE CHEST PROMPTLY

The Community Chest fund is still more than a hundred thousand dollars short of the goal of four hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars set as the amount needed to care for Birmingham's s charitable requirements for the coming year. There is no fear that the full sum will not eventually be subscribed, for Birmingham always cares for her own. But prompt contributions are de- sirable because thus the work of those public-spirited citizens who are making the calls will be frightened. The total is not large one for this community, and doubtless our total gift to charity for an entire year is not greatly in excess of our unnecessary personal expenditures for one day. This shows how readily Birmingham can give the entire sum and not miss it. Even day or week of rigid self-denial is not too much to ex- pect in the name of charity. But Bir- mingham can do it without self-denial. That renders the delay all the more vex- atious and untimely.

ENFORCING FOOD SANITATION

Compliance with all the requirements of the pure food ordinance by Birming- ham distributors of food products, in- cluding hotels and restaurants, in order to obtain sanitary permits from the health department is highly desirable. It is commonsense move on behalf of the public health and the public welfare. It should enlist the cooperative support of every citizen who has at heart the com munity welfare. The purchasers of food have it in their power to assist the health authorities by patroniZing those food dealers and restaurants that have met these requirements, which are not only reasonable, but of practical benefit to the dealers themselves.
 The department will put this plan in operation the first of January, and will insist upon strict observance. Thus all food dealers and restaurants that have not observed the regulations in the past will have ample time in which to make such preparations as are necessary to comply with the law. The Retail Gro cers and Butchers have been setting a good example by complying with the law for months, thus giving the health department encouraging support, while acting on their own behalf i'll practical way. It is believed by the department thstsths0ugh a careful check of the sltua- -Efon conditions will be improved, and food control will be brought up to the high standards which have marked the distribution of milk.
 By publication of scores made by places selling food the public will be af- forded helpful information as regards buying, and this is expected to be effec- tive in protecting the public health. Thus the people can accomplish much through their discrimination in buying. It is gratifying to note the increasing number of food dealers who are recognizing the importance of this precaution, not only in it's primary purpose of protecting the public health, but as profitable step for themselves

NO SPECIAL SESSION NEEDED.

As usual, there is much talk of the probability of a special session of con- gress immediately after March 4. It is largely a matter of speculation. There is nothing that can be definitely forecast except that the president does not look with favor upon the proposal, and that the country, especially the business in- terests, would like to be assured that there will be no special session. Business of the nation, naturally suspicious of what congress is likely to do in special session, feels the need of a rest from politics. A presidential election always preceded by siege of political activity and a period of more or less industrial uncertainty is bad enough. For this to be followed by special session of con- gress would be too much, especially when there is no real public need to be served. Special sessions should have special pur- pose, and none such has yet been given. The short session gives opportunity to enact any pressing legislation. Let 1t be the test of congressional sincerity.
 No doubt the president has taken ac- count of the feeling of Responsibility that usually characterizes a special session demanded by political opportunists. For that reason, among others, he is evidently reluctant to summon the Sixty-ninth con- gress to Washington before December, 1925. The best thought of the country will approve the presidents position.

THE CHRYsANTHEMUM

Politics and presidential campaigns! The air has been raucous with voices. Therefore let us turn our eyes and our thoughts from matters political and consider the chrysanthe- mum. Now is the season when it will soon lift up it's gorgeous head, monarch and named lion among flowers. Glowing deeply darkly wine-red, or tawny orange, it rears aloft it's mighty globes of splendor. Closely clumped it's petals are; brown or pink or pur- ple. they form a tight and solid pleasantly acrid-scented bulb of autumn's essence; or shaggy, careless white they may be, like the tossed manificent hair on the head of hoary poet. There is nothing modest, nothing subtle about the chrysanthemum. It blares its beauty like a trumpet, abroad over the ruddy land scape of the fall. It is bold, blatant, beautl- full. It is tonic to the nerve-worn and the weary, for it is the very epitome of gay, un- thinking joy. Let us, therefore, peacefuliy forget the pressing matters of the newspaper s first page. and for the moment. consider the Washington Post

ANCEsTR YOF OUR HORSES

The unrivaled breeds of horses that Britain possesses were derived originally from Arab ian stock Arabian horses are of two types, the Kadischi, whose origin is unknown, and the Kochani, of whom written genealogise exist dating back for 2,OOO yeas. The Koch lani are kept for riding purposes only, and are said to be descended from King Solo mons studs. They can go for long periods without food, being remarkable for their dauntless courage in the face of danger. Al though neither large nor handsome, the Koch lani are extraordinarily swift. Some types of this breed have a higher reputation on account of their alleged uncontaminated mo- bility.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WYE MUST have an outlet for our sur, w plus population. America has closed her doors to us, so we must look else where. If we do not, decay will Overtake us before the close of 1925" so speaks Sig nor Mussolini before the fascist congress at
 Rome. There is a remarkable similarity in sentiment in this speech with Won Buelow s famous demand for "a place in the sum- "For that reason," so continues the Italian premier, i've must be. prepared we must be
 ready" Il Popolo, reporting this speech, says that Mussolini lowered his voice signifi- cantly,. looked straight into the eyes of his hearers, shook his finger warningly, and re- peated almost in a whisper, I've must be ready" The good fascists took the hint. They cheered and raised a clamor, threw
 their hats up in the air and shouted "Evivva Italia, Eyivva Mussolini!' The significance of the speech in the international sphere is
 that Signor Mussolini is going to put some vigor into his foreign policy, while letting
 the situation at home take its course. In
 the meantime Greece and Turkey are on the alert. The Corfu incident has not been for gotten and the Turks would like to know why Italian troops continue to garrison in
 the neighborhood of the great city of Smyrna on the Asia Minor coast. For a time the Mare Nostrum' idea had been effaced by
 the political situation at home. Mussolini
 still believes in a greater Italy. There are
 many irridentas yet to reconquer. And the
 specter of Caesar still beckons to Mussolini

 W gave up hope until the doctor aban- doned his bedside manner and began to cheer him up. But nowadays doctors are as gar rulous as English sparrows. One of 'em got to talking the other day about angina pee toris, the most painful disease, perhaps, that has ever been inflicted upon defenseless hu- manity: ,,
 "It is primarily disease of the strenuous" he said.
 Whereupon one of the leading amplifiers of our Business Mems Club took up the sweet refrain:
 "We must moderate our pace," said he, owlishly, We must slow down bit. The pressure of modern life is too much for us-
 Then Doc Hockelberry and l looked lem over and laughed out loud.

 This only goes for our town, of course because I am not competent to speak for other towns. These business men who pre- tend to be so strenuous are for the most part rich. At the very least they are making money, because they could hardly have helped | it in the last decade And

the administration, in several public speeches, has advocated the proposals, that official is not expected to have any such influence with the senate as may be exercised by the president.
 It is believed that if the president mani fests an attitude of languor towards the world court proposals, he will will encounter no vigorous protest from the senate, which may readily accept his indifference as an excuse for inactivity. On the other hand, an active support of the world court proposals to promote peace among the nations would be a bid from the president for cooperation from the sem ate. There is to be had by the admins tration ample encouragement from citi- zens the country over on behalf of this measure. It is question of leadership by the president as to whether or not 1t will be permitted to languish.'

Tn the Shadow of Liberty

The London Times publishes letter from a young Englishwoman on her reception at Ellis Island. To read the account makes one wonder if the young lady was not mistaken and tried in reality to land in some uncivi- lized, barbarous country instead of this glo- rious democracy with its Statue of Liberty to greet it's newcomers. "A week there will make anyone i'll, month would drive you insane" she writes. She gives shocking recital of maltreatment, sanitary inadequacy, unreasonable attitude on the part of officials and the usual entanglement into red tape. The writer of the letter, however, gives due credit to the friendliness of officials, but says: My heart aches for some of those had to leave behind, for, thank God, the British consul got me out at last" British consuls generally get one out, even out Of jails. But it should not be necessary to have to undergo all this hardship when merely on a visit to the United States. It really IS not a civilized procedure. There is great strictness in the matter of landing in France or Germany, for instance, but no one IS put to indignities of the kind the young English lady describes.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

"N TOW is chrysanthemum season." wrote
 IN Mock Joya of Kamakura, Japan, in
 October "It is becoming common everywhere. and especially in your country magnificent flowers are raised. But Japa- nese gardeners and chrysanthemum fanciers give their utmost attention to produce per feet plants-which means perfect flowers, perfect leaves and perfect stems; perfect chry- santhemum plants, not merely flowers,
 "They do not value gorgeous flowers Ii their leaves and stems are poorly cultvatde. They give special attention to growing per feet leaves. Any flower, however beautiful and grand, has no value if it is blooming on a plant which shows several inches of bare stem, without leaves above, above the ground.
 I've eat ehrysanthemum flowers and leaves. They are delicacies enjoyed by us The flowers made into salad, have an enjoya- ble taste, The leaves are fried, served as vegetables to meats and other things. This is also very good. Fried maple leaves are often served with chrysanthemums, more for color combination than taste. Naples do not compare with chrysanthemums in taste"

HOnOr
IN ORDER to understand, you must
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

IN ORDER to understand, you must learn \
 that many words, and especially words that stand for very high and important ideals, usually have two meanings, which are often directly opposite one to. the other.
 Love, for instance, may signify the very loftiest sentiment conceivable, even, as the theologians tell us, for the nature of the god head; and, again, it may be used to indicate the most unintelligent desire.
 One of these words with a dual meaning is "honor."
 There is hardly feeling in the human breast as praiseworthy as honor. It is the best form of self-respect. 1t is manliness or womanliness raised to the nth power. It is character consummate. It is the true foun- dation of business success, the basis of any happy marriage and, altogether, the cleanest, brightest, and solidest moral metal in the spirit of man.
 Naturally, so good a thing must be stolen by scoundrels for their counterfeit schemes. So we find some of the meanest, most sell fish and caddish sentiments labelled "honor."
 The duelling place was called 'the field of honor," where two cowardly men afraid to trust their cause to justice and overawed by evil conventions, met for murder. It has taken the world good many hundreds of years to see that duelling, far from being honorable, is unjust, contemptible, and set ties nothing except to determine who has the most skillful arm.
 There is large portion of the worlds pop ulation who still believe that it is honorable to be endowed, to be idle and to be useless So far it has never been the custom to dub farm hand or a machinist ''the honorable Mir So-and-so" Yet work is more honorable than sport, and earning money than getting it from your rich uncle.
 But perhaps the worst inversion of the meaning of honor appears when tho term is applied to nations.
 Reading the speech of a certain 'honora- ble" gentleman delivered in our national con- gress one receives the impression that self restraint, courtesy, and the due processes of justice in established tribunals are dishonora- ble. while it is honorable to froth at the mouth, hurl defiance, and yell for war upon the appearance of the least divergence Oi opinion between America and any other na- tion.
 It seem to be honorable to spend billions preparing for war, but dishonorable to make plans for the settling of international dis putes by arbitration.
 It seems to be honorable to lie, bubble, ana buster when the terms of a treaty turn .Out to our advantage, and dishonorable to ad- just the matter by amicable consultation and encouragement.
 It is honorable to be a profanc, narrow grating, immoral Christian" white man, iii Africa, the Orient, and the Seven Seas; bus it is dishonorable, it is sickly, mawkish cow ardice to act as decent gentleman. When you hear Q man blow about honor it is time to inquire just what brand of honor he means.
 "For Brutus is an honorable man.; So are they all, all honorable men,.
