Alabama Women Interested in
 Legislative Bills
WILLING AWAY HOT DAYS
Driving, Tennis, Fishing and Boating Fill In Idle Days, and Summer Colonies Have Much to En-
 certain Them.


 the days at the many picturesque places
 where Birmingham people are scattered
 for the summer
 Tennis tournaments. as well IS those for
 the bridge players, bring with them a se-
 ries of entertainments and there is always
 the usual private entertaining at the sum
 mer resort
 Along the lake shores and the southern
 and eastern coast boating and fishing are
 the chief amusements and even in the
 heart of the mountains the summer colo
 nies are not deprived of the life on the
 water. At Lake Toxaway is one of the
 most beautiful lakes in the world and the mountain scenery Is unsurpassed. Fifteen miles around, it is the second largest art- | ficial lake in the world Golf tournaments at Tate Springs ! brought in their wake a round of enter | tainments. From every spot where even the smallest summer colony has estab- lished itself to the ultra fashionable of the summer places comes the same story | of gay season.
 Alabama club women have been greatly interested in the bills presented to the 1 legislature affecting schools and factory conditions. The fate of the Gunnels bill, which answered the "cry of the children" came as a death knell to the hopes of hun dreds of women in this state who have directed their efforts in behalf of the six hundred thousand children in the rural districts. The record of the present legis- lature in regard to this one bill could have been made record of lasting public ser vice, but a way was found to evade the real issue encroaehing more and more i upon the rights of the children in the ru- raj districts by openly and consistently fIDf iqngr f1,..F,, Alabama women have worked for sev- eral years to secure the passage of a bill providing for q qualified superintcndency ! Through their committees on education they have circulated petitions, through the federation organs they have plead for such a measure and year after year they have waited for the state to show con scentious interest in the unfair treatment of the children in the country schools They had reason to believe that the strong public sentiment that had devel- oped in favor of a qualified superinten- dency would resulut in the passing of the | bill and they feel deeply grateful to those members of the legislature who voted for it's passage, almost in the face of defeat
 The child labor bill is another measure In which the women of Alabama have been deeply concerned. For years the federation has urged factory and mill reg ulations joint committees of mill men | Zatfons of the state framed compromise l bill that was subsequently, passed The new bill is a decided Improvement 1 over the old and meets with the approval
 of Alabama women, who now ask it's en- forcement. The enforcement of the new
 mill law and regular inspection of fac l tories will bring up the standards of Ala i bama in distinct contrast to its story of | child labor. The mill children had a fear 1 less champion in the person of Col S. w ] John.
