BUSINESS TONIC
 GIVEN KIWANIANS
J. c. Farley Speaks To Ensley Club-Central Park Gas
 Connection Delayed
(ENsLEY RUREAU)

J. c. Farley of the business service bureau of the National. Cash Register company delivered an address Thurs day before the Ensley Kiwanis club. After his close, the Kiwanians cheered him for five minutes and then every one rose in a body to signify the deep appreciation of the club.
 He gave within thirty minutes an address which was declared to have been the best business tonic that has been administered locally in years. He said among many things that any merchant who supposed that he was indispensable to any community was never further wrong on any proposition. He declared that if Ensley were to burn up completely that the buying public would be served, perhaps with a little delay, yet served by other mer- chants. He said this was true of Bir- mingham and every other city in this country.
 MT. Farley said the business owner was the least important of anyone connected with business. In the order named he said that the public which buys the goods is the chief concern while the employee is second and the owner third. He said that when a man established a business, built the house and arranged the money or stocks, that his importance ends. He suggested that the owner was only the directing head, and it was up to him to sell himself and his establish ment to the public and to his employees.
 Speaking of accommodating money, the visitor declared amid prolonged laugh ter, that "We cannot carry any with us. Shrouds have no pockets and if they did, look at the danger of it be- ing burned or melted"
 Mir. Farley gave many interesting il- lustrations of business success. He mingled his sage remarks with many laughable stories and made Init" with the business men of Ensley.
 Following the address of Mir. Farley, the club heard a report from the com mittee in charge of the celebration of the opening of the Fairfield -Bessemer road, and it was decided to participate in that celebration to the fullest ex- tent and to bear a portion of the ex- penses.
 The luncheon was served by the Ladies Missionary society of the Shady side Methodist church in the First Methodist church dining hall and many compliments were given the ladies for the excellence of the service.

CLINIC SEEKS TO
 GET CHILD FACTS
Work Explained To Members Of Community Club Thurs
 day Afternoon

Miss Elizabeth Dickinson summarized work being accomplished by the chill dren's psychological clinic before mem bers of the Community club at their weekly luncheon in the Tutwiler hotel Thursday noon.
 Although, as the speaker explained, data from the clinic, established here last September in connection with pub lie schools, was yet incomplete, she was able to localize the subject which promises a revolution in the education of children.
 ''No two children are alike.' Miss Dickinson said in touching on the req son for such training. Similar to adults, they have different standards of intelligence to which, unless atten- tion is given, becomes over and under developed along certain lines.''
 Briefly she sketched experiments setting averages for intelligence. A six-year old child, she said, when asked what a balloon is, will respond "It goes up" If the subject is of an eight year standard his answer will usually be-: "A thing that goes up,'' she de- clared.
 She then told of six year old boy who had extraordinary intelligence of atype. When given this question he described various kinds of balloons, dwelling upon the Shenandoah and its proposed flight to the north pole.
 This youth had wonderful school intelligence from an association with three adult women," Miss Dickinson stated. But his social side was en- tirely undeveloped. To counteract this we put him in contact with school bully who barely slipped by in pass ing grades but whose social wisdom was remarkable for his age"

WANT FIVE PERCENTUM
Southern Railroad Directors Would
 Raise Rate

Possibility of Southern Railway com mon stock being put on per cent annual basis at the March 13 direc- tors meeting apparently depends on the ability of the other directors to per suade Fairfax Harrison, president of the company, to see their point of view, says The Wall Street Journal. At present, it is understood in the street, Mir. Harrison favors putting the stock on 4 per cent annual basis, while most other directors prefer per cent rate.
 While it is doubtful if the other di- rectors would inaugurate dividends that were strongly opposed by the president of the company, on the other hand, it is doubtful if Mir. Harrison would hold out for 4 per cent rate if all the other directors favored. , per cent.
 Contrary to the commonly accepted rumors, Mir. Harrison is believed not to be opposed to the inauguration of common dividends at this months meet ing.

To BE BRIEF
City Will Not Be Permitted
to Give Globe Circlers
Official Welcome

Washington will not have an op.
portunity to give an official wei.
ccme to the world filters when they
reach the city next week.
The plans of the War Depart.
ment call for a strictly informal,
businessJike stop in the Capital on
the last leg of their globe girdling
Journey, which is slated to end at
Seattle.
1t is possible that the fliers will
not remain in the city longer than
it takes for refueling and minor re.
pairs. The itinerary of the flight
makes Washington the first stop
ping place after leaving New York.
Although there will be no official
welcome at this time. 1t is taken
for granted that there will be a
great popular welcome and that va
rious officials of the Government,
including President Coolidge, will
make a trip to the polo grounds
in Potomac Park, which probably
will be the landing place, to con.
graduate the aviators, Lieutenants
Smith and Nelson.
It is the plan Of the War Depart.
ment to permit the filters to visit
various American cities after the
completion Of the flight and then be
given official honors commemoratinc
their achievement.
