CITY IS PLACING

WEEKLY QUOTA
Commission Would Have
Birmingham Best Light
ed City In South

birmingham at night is veritable
white way compared to what it was
three years ago. But hundreds OF
e. peiChborhods still are clamoring for
additional street lights, and Commits
sioner w. J.. Harrison says they shall
have them next year.
In November. 1921, the city had
1920 street lights in use. Now there
are 1,456, and new ones are going in
at the rate CT 10 week.
We're giving preferred attention to
sections in the suburbs Harrison said
but next year, | hope to install lights
so fast that birmingham will be the
best lighted city in the south
1t costs the city S43,O46 year to
illuminate its streets between shutdown
and sunrise. As additional lights are
placed, this cost mounts.
There are 54S lights of 400 candle
power, which cost $4S each per year.
There are 500 lights of 10 candle pow
err, costing SIS, and 10 lights of $50
candle power, costing $50 each.
The 400 candle power lights-the
largest available, are in use at down
town intersections. dangerous crossings
and other traffic centers. The 100
candle power lights are used chiefly i'll
residential sections.

annually. for each institution. The
American Bankers Association,
through its Administrative Commit
tee, has placed itself squarely on rec
ord as being'in favor Of this measure
because 1t believes that what is thus
fundamentally good for farming Il
good for the country.
What Farming Requires
Farming requires skill of no mean
sort. A farmer is ever facing new
conditions and must adjust his activi-
ties to cope with them. The problems
Of the soil, of crop production, live
stock breeding and feeding, and busi-
ness management of the farm call for
a. high an order Of brain power as
any industry. The young man of to-
day need not leave the farm for a
career. There il abundant opportuni-
~ for tho exercise of his best facul-
ties in helping to develop q basic
industry that affects the welfare Of
every human being.
In order to farm properly and eco
nomically, the farmer must be equip
ped with a high degree Of technical
skill. Farming by guesswork belongs
to the past. No longer can he gauge
his activities by the position and
shape Of the moon. Success demands
the application Of the best knowledge
and experience available. New prob
lens arise daily. New solutions must
be found. Discoveries are being made
that affect practical farm methods
tremendously. Insect posts and plant
diseases are constantly putting in
their appearance and must be com
bated by the most effective methods.
Competition makes that imperative.
Old Ways Do Not Pay
Land prices have been soaring
Following the Civil War, immense
areas Of fertile land were available
almost for the asking. But today the
most efficient land is all taken up. and
the expansion Of our agricultural pro
duction must come from either in
creased yields per acre or from farm

the price of land the greater the over.

lands may be very Improbable on

changing conditions requires new
stores of knowledge and new methods

Minds Power over the Body.


There is no doubt of the existence
Of certain basis of scientific knowl-
edge for the present vogue Of the
assumption of the Importance Of
minds influence over body, and Of
the Importance Of the unconscious ele-
ment in mind. But, of course, thii
vogue is chiefly the result Of extrav-
agant claims unjustified by the facts
yet known, Vernon Kellogg writes in
the North American Review. These
claims are pressed by persons who are
not even acquainted with the scientific
facts that give any basis at all to
them. Too often they are deliberate
attempts to exploit the popular inter-
est. In other cases they are not dis
honest In intention; only dishonest
through careless disregard Of the OBJ
legation resting on any one who offers
to point the way to health of having
scientific fact as basis for this ad-
vice. When I asked NJ. Coue for
some proofs of his claims to be able
to do what he thinks-probably quite
honestly-he and any of us can do by
his methods, he drew from an inner
pocket small packet of letters, evil

or two to read. Each writer said

NEVER ROSE ABOVE SAVAGE
Civilization That Had Been
Forced Upon Him.

The American Indian is Of Mongo-
liam stock. He is cousin Of the yell
low Mongolian and the brown Malay.
But in all his era as the owner Of the
Americas he never was more than a
savage, according to finds which are
now being made from Mexico to Peru.
It was another Mongolian race,
Chinese-like people, who carried civili-
zation to this continent, 1t seems.
The peak Of ancient civilization in
the Americas lay in the tropical strip
between Arizona and Peru, reaching
its peak in central Mexico and Peru.
The ruins Of civilization in these
places are mighty and aweinspiring
and attest race Of people who in
their day were the most highly cul-
tured In the world.
In every direction away from the
tropical centers the Indians sink In
culture. In North America the level
of the aborigines decreases as we go
north and east. In South America the
natives are lower still, the Amazon
and Patagonia Indians being said to
be little better than animals.
A most remarkable fact appears
when The ethnology of tho Americas is
viewed as q whole.
The Indians were everywhere declin-
ing when the white man came. The
mound builders were no more. These
men had evolved the turning lathe,
among other inventions; but, useful
invention as 1t was, the knowledge of
1t was forgotten by the red men whose
corn Anthony Wayne cut down. The
Indians Of historic times all have the
characteristic marks of people whose
civilization had been forced on them

and they were getting rid Of 1t and

Much as the experiment stations
have done, research work is still In
its infancy. There are still greater
problems awaiting solution. We must
delve deeper. we must push further
systems of farming that are more
profitable than the ones we are now
using. The experiment stations must
have increasing financial support to
achieve these ends.
