Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

I'VE NO doubt there is long syllabled
 scientific name for Jim Sl ,th's case, but
 no matter. Poison ivy is poison ivy, no matter what you call it. And Jim Smith used to be the original root of all the poison ivy in our town. Always had kick coming.
 You know Hart Colfax?' he asked me. when l began my inquiry into his case. I did, of course. Hart is jolly, sunny, don't give-a-darn sort of man. He never will lngly gives offense, but he doesn't back down too easily, either. One day Hart Colfax and some others were seated in a bus bound for the baseball grounds, when Jim Smith came along.
 Hey, Jim," some one called. Get in here with us"
 Hart had his back turned, and spoke out without knowing that Jim Smith was near enough to over-hear:
 Don't get him in with our bunch," said MT. Colfax. He is the worlds gloomiest grouch. That man can take the joy out of life like steam pump.'
 Jim pretended he did not hear and got ia. and every one made believe that nothing un- pleasant had been said. And, being determined to prove that Hart Colfax had done him a wrong Jim varied his conversation. Instead of wet-blanketing everything he did not pour acid on, he laid himself out to be a lively, happy, witty companion. It went mighty hard, and often he had to be quiet for min utes at a time while he thought up some thing cute and funny. But he did it. The bunch asked him to go to dinner with them
 You know" said Jim Smith to the in qulrer, that's the first time that had hap pened to me in months!"
 Therefore Jim Smith made himself over. It took real physical effort, as well as mental one A lump of sogginess cannot be- come sweetness and light by |. meres act of will. But he did. So it can be done.

Forum Of The People
Rountree Enthusiastic For Alabama

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In todays Age-HeraId appears a timely and inspiring editorial, "Alabama's Opportunities. It is ably written. It is fortnight, hearten- ing, constructively purposed plea for recog- milton of Alabama's wealth in resources, of the many attractions which she offers scenic ally, industrially, agriculturally and otherwise the kind of advertisement for example that Florida and California employ in exploiting their own greatness in the things which should command favorable attention everywhere. This editorial of The Age-Herald carries the in spring ring-the true ring of state pride, state love and state loyalty.
 There are many great tasks that summon Alabama to renewed efforts and labor. There are many needful movements which she must press to a successful issue; there are many high and worthy aspirations which beckon and urge her to advance steadily forward. A state can never assume a standstlll attitude without inviting economic inertia and decay. Progress is the law of life. My business as Director General of the United States Good Roads Association carries me all over the country, gives me an opportunity to compare Alabama's resources opportunities and needs. Without any boosting we undoubtedly have the greatest state in the Union and it only remains for us to make it so. Alabama's s greatest need at this moment is effective ad- vertising and one of the measures to secure the same is to build a great system of per manent roads like North Carolina.
 It is gratifying indeed to read the bugle note of The Age-Herald as expressed in your editorial today. It is to be hoped that you will keep up the campaign that you have started. This editorial should be read at meet ings of every Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Lions, Civitan, Kiwanis, Automobile and Good Roads meeting in the state, comments should be made, suggestions offered to build up the state of Alabama. As Alabamans we are all, in a sense, close kin. We have common interests, common hopes, common purposes and should unite in a common accord with view of doing part towards promoting the welfare and progress of Alabama and making it the greatest state in the Union.
 With best regards for a successful cam paign for Greater Alabama, I am very truly

INVOLVING COsT-PLUS

In it's final analysis the pending meas ure for Muscle Shoals could decline into cost-plus proposition as far as the manufacture of fertilizer is concerned. If concern is assured of four per cent. on its cost it would have no special in centive for keeping that cost low. It all depends, therefore, upon the moral re- sponsibility of the lessee. The Ford pro- position of fertilizer at cost plus eight per cent won popular favor because of confidence that Ford's methods of mass production would have reduced the cost so low that the eight per cent. on his cost would perhaps not be more than the four per cent. on the cost as administered by those less skilled in mass production and efficient, low-cost factory methods But the country would suffer net loss if the price of fertilizer would be higher than efficient methods would warrant The bill, with Ford left out, should have some more rigorous check on profits than merely four per cent. on the cost of pro- duction. That might be anything, and unless the cost of production is reduced so far as to affect the market price of all fertilizer the agriculture of the land would be no better off with Muscle Shoals nitrate than without it. Only the national defensive purpose would be served, which is essential, but which should be supplemented by definite and appreciable peacetime benefit.
 In degree it is believed by many that Senator Underwood's political future will be affected by the outcome of this Muscle Shoals settlement. He is openly and em- phatically pledged in the public behalf and against permitting the project to de- cline into a power proposition. If through some loop-hole the Alabama Power Company should come into pos session of this property, the reaction upon MT. Underwood would be unmistakable. His bill apparently obviates any such ContinpencV.

sTovE-MAKERs AND IRON RATES

The Southern Stove Manufacturers Association in session here yesterday and today are concerned with problem that is of importance also to Birmingham. Between fifty and seventy-five plants are said to be represented at this meet ing, and the matter of foremost concern is rates on pig iron. Stovemaker's use pig iron and Birmingham manufactures pig iron. The mutuality of interest rep resented in the problem is therefore obvious. Evidently, in order that the manufacturers in Birmingham's terri tory may extend their competition as widely as possible, there must be re- moved all factors that tend to increase the cost of materials at their respective plants Freight rates are cited as among such factors. Whether the rates are too high or not is for the federal commission ultimately to decide. The discussion of the stove manufacturers may be the first step towards bringing the subject to of- ficial attention. Anything that will widen the market for Birmingham iron helps Birmingham.

The Right Word
NONE BUT I" (Find the Error in This Arficlel
By W. CURTIS NICHOLSON

John Hilary of New York City has roundly scored 'The Right Word'' for endorsing as correct the expression none but me-" as, none but me knew of what happened. He maintains that from the standpoint of gram matlcal rules and logic the correct wording IS none but l."
 "The Right Word" offers the following ex- cerpt from Manual of Good English, by Nc Cracken and Sandison:
 Divided Use: No one but him objects. (Ilim' is preferable, but being taken as a proposition, like except. But he is defended on the ground that the expanded sentence reads: No one objects, but he objects the but being conjunction; the defense, how ever, is weak.)
 Logic is the basis of the second part of MT Illlary's argument Let us analyze the nature of the expression. No one but he oDJects.' In this latter construction, "but'' IS considered q conjunction and the expanded thought would be as follows: No one objects but he objects. Let readers bear in mind that we are looking at this sentence from logical point of view. Now, if no one objects, how can any one (he) object? No one eliminates every one, so the sentence MT. Hilary offers as correct presents a most paradoxical situ- atlon. On the one hand, no one objects; on the other, "he" objects. Impossible
 The Right Word" admits that there is those who argue, as does MT. Hilary, in favor of the use of "he" in the sentence under discussion, but this column favors "him."
 Yesterdays Error.
 Wrong: The balance will be- covered to- morrow.
 Right: The rest will be covered tomorrow.

PREMIER HEREOF VERSATILE

/ If versatility is an attribute of success, then Premier Herriot should travel fairly far on the road, for he possesses it to the most amazing degree of perhaps any Frenchman in public life.
 He is a graduate of the Ecole Normale i; and it is said of the Normalians, as they are called, that they can do almost anything bet ter than just fairly we'll.
 Take Herriot for example, in the role of author the present French premier can turn out an article one day on the Chicago packing industry, and the next day one on art in Constantinople. They are not slender news paper stories, but articles which show erudi- tion, literary talent, an ever-observing eye and a catholic interest. He has both written and lectured on such varied themes as Jeanne d'Arc, the future of railways, Rembrandt, libraries for children, Napoleon, art in the the modern city and garden, the naturalist Fabre, and the land question.-Wythe Will Hams in the Saturday Evening Post. t

A Human Dynamo. Ry Dr. George A, BaIdpate.

Many people," observed Dr. George A Baldpate, "have the idea that the Arctic regions are cold, dark, and unfriendly. Ex' perienced travellers like Dr. Traprock and my self can tell different story.
 '"The intense cold cannot be denied, but this is completely discounted by the equip ment of furs which one wears and especially by the fatty died which is so rich in calories that tremendous bodily heat is generated After many luncheon of blubber steak have had to eat bowl of cracked ice to lower my temperature.
 "When I first went beyond the Arctic Circle confess that did find the long Arc tic night very trying. The lighting facilities are very poor, the nearest electric plant being at St. Pierre 4000 miles away. But had not been in the country more than month before I noted the extraordinary amount of electricity in the air, due perhaps to our near ness to that strange phenomena, the Arctic Borealis. We know how in our own com paratively mild winters the amount of cleo tricity which one can generate Is much greater in cold weather than at other times. I found that by rubbing my body with a seal skin every morr ng I could store up enough of the precious juice to last through the day.
 ''Using ordinary screw plugs in my ears hooked up drop light on my shirt front and a small electric stove, and so became equipped with all modern conveniences. Whenever found my light becoming dim I had only to give my chest a slight rub and they flashed into brilliance again. had to be careful not to rub too hard or I would blow my fuses out"

Brief Nature Studies

By J. OTIS SWIFT

IN SHADY woods within sound of the
 Cascade of Slid on Pine Meadow Brook A near Sloatsburg, N. Y., hikers come upon pale green cushions of white moss,' or leucobryum, genus, several of whose species are tropical, growing on the rocks overlooking the cascade where Indians used to sit to fashion stone implements and on the rich black loam surrounding them. The family Leucobryaceae is not large and all its mem bers are confined to the tropics except leucobryum whose species l.. glaucum is found in Africt, Asia, Europe and in this country from Louisiana and Florida east of the Rockies to Newfoundland.
 The plants, making lovely cushions of vari- ous dimensions, are often dark green when rain has fallen, but in dry weather the erect stems, forked and narrow, long leaves with incurving margins making them appear tubu- lar, take on a greenishwhite glaucous shade that gives the moss its popular name. It is brownish gray below.
 In way it suggests sphagnum in it's color and elect standing, though quite different in leaves and branching. White moss is dearly beloved by children, who remember it best because it is so common.

FINDING OUT THE REASON

Governor Ritchie of Maryland gives expression to a thought many have been thinking with respect to political issues. Today the two political parties are sharp Iy divided on no principle and no issue of foremost and vital significance. That is one reason why the people at the re- cent election, in their desire to repudiate the irrational opponents of LaFollettism, threw their strength so overwhelmingly to the Republican candidates. The Re publicans were in; the Democrats had produced no outstanding issue except that of certain corruption among high Repub- lican officials and Republican adminis- trative failure; Calvin Coolidge could not be blamed for situation that existed before he came into office; therefore, the people retained the Republicans in power by a far larger vote than would have been the case if LaFollette had never run, or if the Democrats had been distin- guished by great political appeal.
 Governor Ritchie suggests one is- sue, involving return to earlier Democ- racy, to which the Democrats might prof. itably to themselves and the nation re- dedicate themselves. It is the principle of leaving government as much as pos sible to the states and to the localities. Says the governor
 Certainly enough power and authority
 and bureaucracy is centralized at Wash
 ington to make this a rallying point for
 those who believe in decentralization and
 the autonomy of the states Will not
 the American people at the close of these
 four years welcome from the Democratic
 party program for decentralization-a
 program not vague but constructive,
 thorough and exact and built on the
 party's traditional conviction that the
 government governs best which governs
 least?
 Clearly something is wrong when the Democrats cannot win in an election pre- ceded by such pronounced administrative failure of the other party. The Democrats have four years to find out what was the matter, and to take measures accord ingly.

HoNoRING WOODROW WILSON

Official Washington yesterday paid respects to Woodrow Wilson in special
 memorial exercises held in the cham Der of the house of representatives.
 Now that the political bitterness preced- ing Wilson's retirement from office has died down, those of the former opposition as we'll as members of his own party meet and merge their partisanship in this tribute to one whom all now admit to have been both patriot and statesman of high distinction. It is unfortunate, but very hpn9an, that personal disagree ments shoufdS6ften obscure mans view of man untfEafter one of them is dead. Death has a manner of setting a great figure apart from all the clouds of pas sion and of prejudice, delimitating him in his real stature and in the real con tours of his worth, his character and his achievement. It is so with Woodrow Will son. Those who once fought him now either lie likewise in the grave, or else have renounced that denunciation which formerly they breathed. Those who held
