Brief Nature Studies

q had followed a wood becker through the woods for a better view" writes Heather Landon, wife of Herman Landon, author, from her Ramp Kangaroo, South Casco, Me, when I saw a large-sized salmon jumping in Kettle Cove, so I raced madly and got my fishing tackle. didn't get the salmon, but he got my bait.
 Yesterday we saw deer swim clear across the cove. l guess he swan that quarter of a mile in less than five minutes. Later we heard hounds barking furiously and rowed across to see if we could rescue the deer, thinking maybe the dogs had him cornered, but l i'm agine he gave them the slip.
 1.-Two dear little phoebes have built most ingenious nest of gray mud and straw in our caves haven't quite decided which is the female, but think it is the smaller one, and the cocky mate who throws out it's chest and flirts about on the limbs nearby is probably the male. While they were both away grub ping I peeped into their nest and saw four ambitious-sized eggs"

POLITICS RUIN HIGHWAYS

There is public approval of the Ala bama attorney generals opinion that the highway commission cannot properly out of the highway fund pay the expenses of the state highway engineer to the Dem ocratic national convention. The peo- pie cannot get it out of their heads that the business of highway engineer is to build roads and not to mix in politics. The people believe that politics is mixed with road building to the great detriment of the highways and the quality of their construction. The people believe that politics is the chief ailment of our state highways at present, and that the state highway engineer should keep diligently away from politics.
 The purpose of bringing public high ways to the attention of the Democratic convention was a worthy one, no doubt. But there were fifty or more leading Alabamians in New York during the con- vention, including the governor of the state, and among them could have been found those willing and capable of bring ing the matter to the attention of the platform committee. No expenditure from the states modest highway funds would have been necessary to perform this political service. But the duty of the highway engineer is to build roads, to plan roads, to think roads-and not politics. The whole affair has the ap- pearance of grandstand play.

ZONING IN SIGHT7

Reports that definite steps will be taken to establish practical zoning sys- tenn for Birmingham when the city com mission prepares a budget for the next fiscal year will be a source of gratifica- tion to citizens who realize the need for such a system in connection with civic development. The last legislature passed an enabling act under which a zoning system could be established for this city, but no provision was made for the costs, which are estimated at about twenty thousand dollars, and hence post ponement of the project until expenses could be included in the budget.
 Cities the country over which are for ward-looking in civic development, in- cluding building regulations, separation of business from residential districts, es- tablishment of better health systems, ob- servance of factors and influences in property values-in word, protection, convenience, and benefits in community advancement, have adopted zoning sys- tems, and have found them decidedly beneficial in many ways. Birmingham is growing more rapidly than most cities. With it's tendency to spread out and de- velop in those things which make for bet ter business facilities and residential NOAulIlOilo1 O WOIhdDIS system IS needed. The cost of putting the project into operation is small as compared with the benefits assured. Twenty thousand dollars is as nothing, as public expense for city of this size, if even small community benefits are to be derived. The cost at this time would be very much smaller than few years hence, when needful changes would be more exten- sive and difficult,
 This is one of the things which must be considered in connection with the city's growth and development. Perhaps no city in America in Birmingham's class has done less to provide parks and play grounds and other public benefits which are a necessary part of community life in gNsWing 4cefiters of population. Vision in connection with that development which Birmingham is making and which must keep abreast of industrial and com munity expansion, should be employed in order that this city may attain it's des- tiny. A zoning system worked out on practical lines with an eye to future ex- pansion is a public need that promises far-reaching benefits. The small esti- mated cost should not be an obstruction to the consummation of so important public project.

Forum. Of The People
Plan to Brinx Out tho Church Vote
the Editor of The Age-Herald {:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The enclosed advance proofs contain some interesting comments by President Nicholas Murray Butler, President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot, Glenn Frank and others on a cam paign that has been started by the Homiletic Review to get the church vote at the polls on election day. As you know, only about fifty per cent. of qualified voters go to the polls even in presidential years. In elections of lesser importance, it seems. sometimes as few as eighteen per cent. exercise their franchise privilege. Apparently, too, a considerable of the stay-at-homes is to be found among the better informed, perhaps, too, among members of the churches.
 Accordingly, the Review addressed a num- Der of leading educators and preachers ask ing their judgment as to the duty and ad- visibility of the churches using the means at their disposal, in non-partisan way, to rem edy this condition. The replies have been embodied in an article, advance proof of which accompanies this letter. Would you care to cooperate in the effort to have Christian voters poll one hundred per cent. of their voting strength in the coming cleo tion by getting the facts before the large and influential body of your own readers?
 If you agree with us concerning the real importance of the subject, you are at liberty to reprint all or part of the article entitled "The Church and the Voter," with comment or without, with the proper credit.

To The Graduates
By JOHN CARLYLE

Commencement days are over. Serious minded graduates, looking back wistfully and forward hopefully. have stood up for the last words of advice from more or less eminent authorities.
 What is it that college and college men and women have for the world? To what great endeavor shall they give their training and their talents? What is the thing worth while that they can best do?
 There is no greater task for college men and women than the task of making peace prevail upon the earth.
 There is no more practical endeavor. There is no more exalted endeavor.
 This does not mean that college graduates shall be the modern pacifists of the world with all which that term implies.
 This does not mean that they shall be the visionaries of the world fleeing from it's ac- tualities.
 This does not mean that they shall do nothing but go about and preach peace on earth, goodwill to men.
 The maintenance of the world, after all is said and done, is largely a matter of eco monies and economic conditions.
 The failure of the peace in Europe is the failure of the treaty of Versailles. And the failure of Versailles was the failure of the negotiations to recognize existing economic conditions in Europe and to prepare for bet ter ones.
 The conduct of the worlds affairs in the generation to come-the generation of these June graduates-calls for the highest order of intelligence in the matter of economies.
 The conduct of the worlds affairs intelli- gently is not a matter of the enthusiastic spread of further pacific propaganda.
 It is absurd to talk about all nations be- ing guided by the same ideals or working out the salvation of mankind under a common government.
 Nations will always have-at least for hundreds of years to come-different ideals and they will proceed to realization in diff ferent ways.
 But high leadership, the leadership to which college Slen and women are called, is the worlds great need in the supreme task of teaching the nations of men to live to- gether in harmony.

majority rule as a fundamental prin- ciple of representative government. The trouble is that governmental affairs in this country, local, state and national, are controlled usually by minority. The majority is too busy with private
 interests to perform public duty. This means that public affairs are fast get ting into the hands of those who make a business of politics for their own per- sonal interests. Insofar as this condi- ton prevails will the dangers to repre- sentative government increase. American citizens have no more pressing duty than to get out the vote by stimulating inter- est in the public affairs. It is the only way to have government administered by capable men of character who have the public interests at heart. To keep the public service free from the devious and covert methods and schemes of pro- fessional and semi-professional politi- clans is the only hope for efficient and administration of public busi- ness,

A COFFEE UPRISING

Revolutions of high and low degree in South America are so frequent that the people of the United States are slow to get excited over them. Political unrest in Brazil of late has caused more than ordinary interest in this country be- cause of it's possible effects upon the coffee trade which between Brazil and the United States is very large. The unrest is manifesting itself as a central influence in the normally prosperous province of Sac Paulo, which is the seat of the country's coffee industry. Be- cause of the official censorship, reports f.the situation are meager, while the inn pulsive character of the Latin-American people tends to arouse suspicion of ex- aggeration in such reports as are sent out.
 This revolutionary disturbance, like most of those in Latin-America, IS basic ally economic. The coffee industry in the largest producing district of Brazil has been seriously affected of late by an insect known as Eel broco," which is said to be working havoc among coffee plants greater than the ravages of the \ oll weevil in American cotton. Foreign sffee markets have already reacted to .ae damages, real and prospective While coffee prices have been steadily rising in New York and other big distributing centers, the Brazilian producers have suffered severely because of heavy cur tailment in production without any spe-- cial benefits arising, from advanced prices.
 So far the situation has shown no ma terfal effect upon Brazilian securities which are largely held in this country, and most of which are predicated upon the Brazilian coffee industry. This in- dicates that the situation is not regarded on the outside as particularly serious, and the impression prevails that the Bra

Watching The Parade

 Hurry back, dear,'' said Mrs. Young Tommy.
 year ago that little scene could not have taken place. Matter of fact, the Young Tommy Grays quarreled as a pair of foolish young married people often do quarrel. Some times they snapped at each other in public, which is the lowest and most detestable form of the art of matrimonial dissension
 Whats the ideay' asked the lady of my house. "Why this extreme form of affec- tion?"
 ''she is getting up in the morning now,' said the wise woman. "She takes breakfast with Tommy every day"
 Not that Mrs. Young Tommy was spoiled or idle or selfish. She was a perfect house. keeper and pretty as a speckled pup. But she was sieepyhead. She hated to to get up in the morning. The maid got Tommy breakfast for him each weekday morning, and Tommy's wife stayed in bed until almost noon. Then she would get up, fresh as paint, and be animated and charming when Tommy came home to dinner.
 Where shall we go tonight?" she would say
 They always went somewhere. She, pointed out that Tommy had been downtown all day, seeing things, hearing things, being in touch, whereas she had not been outside of her home except to market-sometimes Tommy is a reasonable being and conceded the point of her argument, until it dawned on him that they went somewhere every night. Then he got PuEtv and they 0uarraIAd

HOW MINORITY RULES

With a warning that is worthy the se- rious attention of the people of this state vote that is being cast in Alabama, there are two citizens who should be voting and who are, neglecting their duty. This means that our state is being governed, both as to men and policies, by about one-third of the citizens. In other words, little more than one-sixth of the voters of Alabama can control its destinies, and, in many instances, are doing so. It is high time that concerted campaigns were being conducted to get more citi- zens interested in politics and in the states welfare"

Bill the Burglar was hard-boiled, there was no doubt of that. He had been shot at by hundreds of policemen and had been pierced by at least a dozen bullets, but evidently he was too tough to hurt. At last, however, he was captured and condemned to die in the electric chair.
 The fateful day came, and Bill was led to the execution room and strapped in the chair. It took six men to do it, and they had their hands full, at that
 Five, ten minutes, passed, and hard-boiled Bills air of bravado began to fade. He grew a shade paler, and seemed a trifle nervous.

Brazil has standing army of about forty thousand men, and navy comprising. several formidable fighting ships. While the government will prob- ably be able to compose the situation and settle the. trouble, it seems likely that Gel broco" will advance the price of coffee, as the boil weevil did the price of cotton, without commensurate benefit to the producer

A wind came up out of the sea, And said, 70 mists, make room for me v It hailed the ships, and cried, Sail on, Ye mariners, the night is gone !" And hurried landward far away, Crying, Awake It is the day!"
 It said unto the forest, Shout! Hang all your leafy banners out '" It touched the wood birds folded wing, And said, 70 bird, awake and sing" And ser the farms, 70 chanticleer.
 Your clarion blow, the day is near!" It whispered to the fields of corn, Bow down, and hail the coming morn :" It shouted through the belfry tower, Awake, o bell proclaim the hour" It crossed the ehurchyard with a sigh,
 And said, Not Jet in quiet lie."

The Right Word
AN INTERPRETATION
By CURTIS NICHOLSON

There has been considerable argument in this column as to whether a choir was tor were) ferried across a river.
 Now Mir. Story of New York City writes an analysis of the sentence as to the number of the verb, and is right. His brief letter reads as follows:
 "A singular verb should follow choir, an organized company of singers being ferried across the river; as, The choir was ferried across the river, or the choristers were fer ried across the river.
 But if the choir crossed the river on their own initiation, and not as one body, then it conveys plural idea, and should have plural verb"
 And Mir. Story uses the plural their, re- ferring to choir. in order to express his thought.

This is not in- tended as a financial page statement.
