WOMAN WILL END WAR.
Eminent French Astronomer Says the
Problem Of Peace Will BE
Solved by Her.

Camille Flammarion, the eminent
astronomer, is firm believer in earth
~ harmony. as we'll as in the harmony
Of heaven. Speaking upon the subject
Of universal peace recently, M. Flam-
marion said:
Upon the surface the world Is more
warlike to-day than ever before. But
the darkest houl is that before the dawn.
The problem of peace will soon be solved.
There will be harmony among the earth
ly bodies, as there is among the heaven
ly bodies. 1t will be brought about by
education, through the fundamentally
of woman.
"1'he fair sex will save humanity by
destroying war. They will teach their
children horror and hatred of war.
They will tell them of desolate widows,
poor orphans, sad-eyed sisters, broken
hearted mothers, ruined homes, devas-
tated countries, all because of war.
When these children, thus instructed,
grow to manhood, they will have the
making of the laws in their hands. Some
of them will be elected to the ~law-mak-
ing assemblies If the world. The 9TH
crs will be electors and will pledge their
representatives rot to vote a war bud
get.
War costs the taxpayers of Europe
$5,0O0,C00 per day. It also costs in lives
an average of 900 men day. The wom-
en- of the people ebhor war deeply, be-
cause they suffer most. When the world
Is educated to athor war, it will disap-
pear just as slavery has. One nation
cannot disarm while the others maintain
their armies. There must be universal
disarmament.
Nothing else will save the old world.
Aptitude for work is destroyed In the
young men Of Europe by enforced mill
tary service. Arbitration should settle
all conflicts. The wars of the future will
be fought upon the battlefield OF thought.
American women must be leaders IN
this great movement"

case and give you the "Johny
Cad dis" of this seemingly ABSURD
and absurdly simple problem:
HOW OLD IS ANN?
Mary is "a years old Mary is
was as old as Ann is now. How old
is Ann?
Solution: If Mary is "a now, and
is twice as old as Ann was at some
time IN the past. Ann was II years old
at that time. 12 is the difference be-
tween "a and IL. Half of this taken
from Mary's age now and the other
half added to AIMS age then will
make their ages the same. There
fore, AIMS age Is now, II years plus
years, equals Is. Ans.
Proof: If Ann is Is now and Mary
IS 24, six years ago Ann was - and
Mary was Is.

STUDEBAKER ORDERS.

The sales recently made by the Chi
cago house of the Studebaker Bros.
Mfg. Co. show which way the wind
is setting with big concerns that are
satisfied with nothing short of the
best to be had in vehicles and harness.
The first was to the Yellowstone Park
Transportation Co., the concessionar-
les under the Government of the trans
portation privileges in the Yellowstone
National Park, who have some 500
head of horses in service. Some time
ago this company ordered from Stude
bakers a few sets of harness, and hav-
ing tested and compared them with
other makes used by them, quickly
followed with an order for fifty sets
of four-in-hand harness. The order
was placed expressly on the superior
quality of the Studebaker goods. The
other sale was to the w. G. Walch &
Co., of Chicago, and consisted of sixty
United States Mail wagons and sixty
sets of harness to go into the Gov
eminent mail service and to be made
after the approved Government de-
signs and specifications. These Or
ders, though not of great magnitude as
Studebakers do things, yet indicate in
a forcible way the high standing of
Studebaker goods.

NEW GAR BARN IS
 ALMOST COMPLETED
Will Have Capacity to Accom-
 modate 100 Largest Cars.
1T IS ON FOURTH AVENUE
The Repair Shop and Car Barn of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company Will Be
 Large and Modern.

The new car barn of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company on Fourth avenue between Tenth and Elev- enth avenues. is nearly completed, and 1t Is expected that 1t will be ready for occupancy within a month and half. The repair shop near by Is also about finished.
 The dimensions of the barn are 142 feet wide by 392 feet in length, and the en- frances are on. both Tenth and Eleventh streets In this building there will be nine tracks, running its entire length, and these tracks will accommodate 100 of the largest cars which the company use.
 One of the best features of the barn Is a set of five drop doors in the center to be used In case of fire. Should the cars In one end catch on fire these doors can be lowered and the fire confined to half the building the other half being entirely cut off by fire proof doors. There will be a special reporting room for the motormen and conductors in one corner of the building. This will be fitted up comfortably. A sand drier Is another feature of the new barn. This enables the company to dry five days supply in a very short space of time.
 The building will be protected from Ire by 10000 gallon tank, to which will be connected large supply lines with hose and nozzles.
 The repair shops are in steel frame building 114xi00 feet. Through the building there will be four tracks the entire ds- tance, and three which will run half way. In this building Is the drying room, where parts of the cars are placed when painted the repair and the paint room, all of which are separated from the main room and from each other by fire proof doors.
 An immense travelling crane, capable of lifting the heaviest car will run the en- tire way through the main building, and will be of great assistance in placing the cars in position for repair work.
 The barn and shops are good examples of the solid improvements the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company are making.

INSURANCE NOTES.

The insurance companies doing busi- ness in Birmingham have about finished the publication of their annual reports January and February are usually quiet months among insurance men, as the companies are busy going over their books "weeding out doubtful risks and preparing for the rush they always have later in the year.
 Capt. John G. Smith, president of the Alabama Underwriters association and also president of the local underwriters association. says everything is quiet in state insurance circles. The state asso- ciation was very active recently in it's efforts to prevent the insurance feature of the revenue bill. introduced into the legislature, from being passed. but since the defeat of the objectionable section, Captain Smith says there is nothing now before the legislature that is specially worthy of the association's attention.

NEGRO SNATCHES
 LADY'S POCKETBOOK
MISS WILMA BENNETT WAS ROB. BED OF HER PURSE CONTAIN ING MONEY, RECEIPTS AND NOTES.-THE THIEF ESCAPES.

Vest erday evening about 6:30 o'clock, a negro snatched a purse from the hand of Miss Velma Bennett at the corner of Avenue J and Twentieth street, and suc- ceeded in making his escape.
 Miss Bennett was on her way to her home at 1911 Avenue I, and was accom- panied by Miss Flicker. They had just passed the corner, when the negro ran up and snatched the purse from Miss Ben nett He then ran down Avenue I.
 In the purse were several dollars, and a number of receipts and notes that are of value to no one but Miss Bennett. The matter has been reported to the police
 This Is the second or third purse snatching in that neighborhood. There are no policemen there, except at in- tervals long apart. The nearest beat Is on South Twentieth street and Avenue E, which is several blocks away The mounted police are said to pass by there only about twice a day; therefore the place Is but poorly protected.
