lLapps Contented With
FeuU Creature Comforts

No one knows when the Lapps came
into Sweden, but for centuries this
queer little people a branch Of the
Mongol tribe, have wandered about
the mountains with their reindeer, Nv
ing more or less nomadic life and
holding their own In population, al
Though not increasing in any number.
| During the summer months, when
the reindeer are on the move, the
Lapp contents himself with a birch
pole tent covered with canvas or turf,
30 that it may readily be moved from
place to place. Some Of the homes
have modern comforts, but sas q rule
the Lapp contents himself with very
little, says the Baltimore Sun.
| In autumn the young reindeer are
marked on the ear with their owners
name. At this time there is 81 gath
ering of all the tribes, and, though
to a stranger all reindeer look exact
Iy alike. Lapp viii point out his own
in the herd with unfailing knowledge.
Nor does a Lapp remove his neigh
boris mark.

Moonlight and Mockiagbird

Late in the night from some van
fage point-the tip-top twig Of the tall
est tree, the point above the crossarms
Of a telephone pole or the peak of the
barn-fits a mockingbird, pouring
forth his song.
The world lies deep In slumber. High
over all rides the moon, its radiance
yelled by a delicate mist that lightly
Grapes the ancient Ozark hills and
shrouds the valley. Rest, peace pos
sesses all, a silence deep, broken only
by the voice Of the wonderful bird. His
music rises and falls, filing the hours
with melodies rare and sweet, and hay
ing for accompaniment the soft sound
of dewdrops falling from the points Of
the leaves on the Balm of Gilead trees

Basis of Civilization

Let us never forget that the culti-
walton of the earth is the most i'm
portant labor of man Man may be
civilized in some degree without great
progress in manufactures and with
little commerce with his distant
neighbors. But without the cultiva-
ton of the earth he is, in all coun-
tries, a savage. Until he gives up the
chase, and fixes himself In some place,
and seeks living from the earth, he
is a roaming barbarian. When tillage
begins, other arts follow. The farm
ers, therefore, are the founders G9

FOHED BANDITS FIRE RESIDENCE Small Damage Is Done. Burglars Escape In
 Confusion

Frustrated in aneattempted robbery, two bandits barricaded themselves in the home of Max Meyer over,his grocery store at 614 Lucy avenue Saturday evening and set fire to the building. In the confusion which followed, both men escaped.
 Damage by the fire was estimated at S200 by Fire Captain N. A. Smith. Before the blaze had gained headway. firemefi arrived, and within a few mo- ments had it under control.
 Meyers story. to, Detectives E. l.. Hollums and W. K. McAdory was to the effect that two shabbily dressed men entered his store early in the eve ming while he was alone. When he approached the pair from behind the counter one of them displayed q cudgel, demanding that he fork over his roll"
 Meyer declares he drew revolver and circling to the front door kept the pair covered, reaching for the telephone to call police.
 As he took the receiver from the hook the men dashed for the stairway at the rear which leads to his residence. He did not fire as his gun was un- loaded, Meyer said.
 Upstairs the men barricaded the door and collected bedding into q heap which they ignited. 1t is believed they jumped from a rear window of the establish mont

COMPANY MAKES NEW TYPE YARD Scott Lumber Firm Now
 Handles Lumber
 Efficiently <.

A forward step in the efficiency of modern lumber yards has been taken by the Scott Lumber company in it's new home located at the. Frisco crossing between Pratt City and Ensley.
 In previous years it has been cus- tomary to avoid railroad tracks in the establishment of yards because. of the fire hazard involved. This required two handlings of cars of material. Under the system worked out by Scott, how ever, which includes fire protection, the efficiency of unloading ears with in the yards has been perfected. {
 Perhaps the feature of the, new Scott arrangement is the offices, wherein an unusual combination of building materials has been worked into an attractive setting. Here, the prospec- tive builder, may get an idea of the various types of brick, flooring, doors, and fiFe-places without too great a strain on his imagination.
 The yard itself offers ample room for the storage of large supply of stock. A blaming mill is now being erected and stock sheds already built; all provide plenty of space for quan- titles of lumber, cement, and brick to meet demands.
 The Scott company, which has been in operation three and one-haf years, is headed by N. w. Scott. Associated with him are his three sons, Roscoe, Paul, and ROmaine

The Smuggle Pup Family are un- disputed leaders in Puptown,s social ae- tivities- having on both sides family trees of the very best dogwood--dat- ing back to several famous Dogberry relatives. On Mother Struggles side, one of her greatest grandparents led the Bloodhound pack chasing Liza across the cold drink, nipping in the Dogberry bud famous and useful dogs life.
 Daddy Dumbell Snuggle traces one of his Dogwood branches directly back to no other than Mother Hub lbard's hungry pup. Daddy D. is the only living reliable source of informa- tion as to just what happened to his poor ancestor, following the startling discovery that the cupboard was bare. 1t is a family secret, though, and not for publication.
 Since he became q married pup, Daddy D. also claims relationship to q famous phonograph pup that sits all day and all night with his ear cooked to listen in on the voice of authority.
 Dumbell. Jr., is the champion trou- ble discoyerer of all the six lovely young pups that make up Mother Snuggie's and Daddy Dumbell's fa- nous Puptown lending family He doesn't look like either his father or his mother, but is thought to resem- ble an uncle on his fathers side, who spent most of his life in dog hospi- tai for the foolish. While he is named after his father, they are not at all alike. Dumbell, Jr., devotingS his young life to disobeying Mother Snug ble, Daddy DumbelI deyoting his life to Obeying her--Jr. will eventually disgrace his family tree with life sentence in the dog pound.
 Little Snuggle resembles his moth CT, with the exception of one black eye, which iss very similar to the de- sign worn by cousin of hers, who was chasing cat and humpede into a tree. Admiration for Brother Dum- bell keeps little Snuggle more or less in pretty daw-gawn hot water.
 Vamp is good little daughter, de- voting her young life to helping Mother Snuggle guide her young brothers footsteps up the straight and narrow poth. Vamp has elected her self head of the family secret service

PORTER STORE IS REMODELED AT GREAT COST
 
New Fixtures, Lighting System And Other Inn
 prOvements Made

Improvements that have been under way since February I now are prac- tically complete at the Porter Clothing company's store and a public inspec- tion of the remodeled building has been invited. s.t
 Although unavoidable delays in the work forestalled the original plan for formal opening, members of the, firm have announced that, with a few excep- tions, the work is complete and hearty invitation for the general public to visit the store has been extended.
 Starting out with the intention of giving Birmingham one of the most modern mems furnishing stores, in point of equipment and service, the company has accomplished its aim to perfection. The first floor has been laid with marble, lightning system three times the strength as formerly used has been installed, the arrange ment of the floors has been changed for greater convenience to the customer and the best obtainable fixtures have been installed throughout.
 The Main Floor.
 The main floor, as in the past, is de- voted entirely to mems furnishings the second floor is used for mems suits and overcoats- and the third is given over to boys clothing and the offices of the firm.
 Showcases on the front of the store have been rearranged to make the main entrance more easily accessible and the backs of the display windows have been redecorated to conform with the most modern ideas, All the display room in the front of the store has been made more shallow than formerly, eliminat- ing shadows and bringing goods on dis play sharply before the eye.
 The entire store has been redecorated Walls and ceilings have been attrac- lively touched up and new flooring has been put in.
 Probably the most modern of the many improvements is the lighting sys- tenn. Twenty-four hanging lights have been installed on the first floor, in rows extending directly over the showcases. This plan was adopted after consulta- tion with the Westinghouse Electric and the General Electric companies.
 New Display System
 With the light from these fixtures falling direct downward, goods on dis play are not hidden by shadows from the customer, the salesman or by other showcases. This one improvement is regarded as one of the most recent for clothing stores, and is now in use by only few of the larger concerns of the country. tg--,.
 Principal reason for the many changes and improvements is the con fdence in Birmingham's future growth that the heads of the concern have ex- pressed. Their 20-year lease expiring the first of this year, has been renewed for. another long period
 In: addition to the many improve ments in fixtures and arrangement of the building itself, the firm has added

 Utilizing Resources
 Birmingham's natural resources are the foundation of it's development, but back of these resources have been the untiring energy, the broad vision, the readiness to do and to dare which in the early days began. the utilization of resources but little comprehended by other than the comparatively few ex- perts who, like Mr. Hewitt, had made a careful study of the coal and iron ore of that region. 1fnss- s
 $ The vision. of the men who have ere ated Birmingham, the untiring enthh- siasm with which they met every dd- verse condition, the cooperative spirit which carkied <, Birmingham's business interests through many a dark day of depression are the things of which Bir- mingham may boast to a greater ex- tent than of its natural resouSces. Ma ture placed the coal and the iron ore and the limestone in the ground. These were blessings which nature gave and for which we should be thankful. But it was the spirit of the pioneers, the men who came out of the Civil war, who without money or credit, but with a backbone and a determination that never flinched, which made possible the. utilization of these resources of which Birmingham has right to boast. That story is an industrial epic. To the DeBardeiebens, the Caldwells, the SlOsses, the Bushes and hundreds of others who never knew how to admit defeat in the darkest days of industrial depression, Birmingham should forever pay tribute. The men of today are measuring up in vision an denergy and achievement to the wonderful work of the pioneers who laid deep and broad the foundation of. this Magic City" thirty tolforty and even to fifty years ago. x

 That it is genuine appears beyond doubt, for it has been examined by several experts. It is an old flint lock musKet, with the name of Alex ander Selkirk engraved upon the barrel and the date, 1701. 1t was upon Sel- kirk's adventures that Daniel DeFoe based his classical romance.
 So pleased was Mrs. Julie Bersing with. her acquisition that she gave a Robinson Crusoe dinner" at the Sa- yOy to celebrate it, the gun benig laid upon a silken cushion in the middle of the table.
