DICKINSON WILL
 NOT MAKE THE RACE
Takes Rap at "Mammonized Politics" as ExempIified By Jefferson
 County Officials.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 You have been good enough to make mention in your columns of the suggestion that I offer for the position of superin- tendent of schools for Jefferson. county In the coming primary. I thank you for the consideration you have shown me in those references. The publication of the matter has brought forth quite 8 num- Der of proests from my friends against what they are pleased to term Ia preach CT leaving the service of God for the service of Mammon' and they have taken offense at my considering such a propo- sition I beg to assure them tbat l have never entertained for moment the making of campaign on the Mammon platform If l should offer for the posi- ton at all it would be on the platform of serving God and not Mammon. The suggestion which was made to me and which I have entertained is this: The last legislature made law requiring all the school funds of this great county to pass through the hands of the county superintendent, and subject to commits sion to him of 4 per cent. This makes the salary of the superintendent of schools in this county larger than that Of . president of any southern university ln that of any judge of the supreme, Tt, than that of the governor His ties are almost entirely of clerical ture. requiring little professional sEilF d yet it is compensated in an amounr out Of all proportion to the service rendered at the expense of the education of the chil- dren of the county This was recognized as a great evil in many ways, but espe- cially in that it extended the present method of paying public servant out of fines, forfeitures, fees and commits sions over the school funds of the en- tire county. Thus 1t mammonized the public service after the manner which now prevails in the other departments of executive and clerical public service until it has become notorious that our sheriff, clerks and other servants of this character get for their services com pensation ranging all the way from that of justice of the supreme court of the United States to that of the President himself As protest against this evil I was asked, in view of the fact that l had already inveighed against it from my pulpit, to offer myself for the position promising in advance to accept only 8 reasonable compensation for the service rendered and converting the residue back into the treasury for the payment of teachers It was argued to me that at present had to spend more than half of my time in raising a couple of thousand dollars to meet the annual payments on the bonds of my church, and l could per form the duties of this office in half of

Heart Troubles

The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. It often happens that a person is born with a weak heart. Then again dis ease, levers, over-exertion, anxiety, nervousness, rheumatism, etc. weaken the heart. The result is shortness of breath, pal pitation, pain in the heart, or in some of the nerves of the chest or abdomen. The heart should be strengthened with a tonic, and for this nothing equals Dr. Miles, Heart Cure.

FASHION WRITER'S ON THE PREVAILING MODES.

Notes here and there from various ex- season, or what is known as the between season. Says all exchange:
 First. in planning the new dancing frock bear in mind that the skirt must be full and fluffy. but short The trained and stately ball dress is not for her who would find delighted and sympathetic partners. For the debutante the skirt should clear the floor. The chaperon, the middle-aged matron and the young danc- ing matron may wear train, but it should be short, and if she dances at all she must practice diligently tine grace full art of carrying her train with her right hand It must be beyond the touch of other dancers as well as herself and her partner. and yet not nigh enough to make an unseemly display of silk hosiery. The girl who is not practiced in wearing and carrying train should eschew them at the dance.
 Now, with a comparatively short skirt, a low neck and mere puffs of sleeves, the amount of material required is not for midable. Crepe de chine, marquisette or silk having plenty of body will require only 14 yards in the regulation silk width of 20 inches or so. Softer materials, such as chiffon or net, though much widen, will use up at.least 12 yards for the wom- an of average height. And nearly every party fabric requires a silk slip beneath.
 The readsamade silk slips in all deli cate colors, as well as white, can now be purchased as low as $5. with narrow ruffes on skirts, puffed sleeves and square necks edged with lace. <You can scarcely make them at home cheaper, silk. The softest and most effective underslips are made from Japanese or habitue, not taffeta silk.
 The new wash materials make lovely party frocks and have a double value just now, as, with care, they can be used for early summer wear after do- ing duty for late dances. One design was developed from the new sheer white muslin, with colored border. The colored embroidery Is used at the foot Of the Sk1rI ana III Ile Hitteu oiIhd' The -gored skirt is in reality a deep fiounce, with narrow fiouncing of Ger man valenciennes lace beneath. The fine dots in the embroidery are done in white floss, the flowers and rushes in corn yellow. The top of the skirt is adjusted to the figure in fine hand-' run tucks. The bodice is extremely simple, being shirred into the belt and around the top of the round neck. Its sole decoration is the fitted bertha, in which the embroidery outlined by lace ruchings is used. The girdle and twisted ribbons for the elbow sleeve are of corn -colored faille. The top of the bertha may be finished with flat bias fold of corn-o -olored faille, or, for the thin girl, ruchings of soft lace with tiny yellow chiffon flowers would be most effective. The same design could be developed admirably in one of the inexpensive ringed or dotted nets at a dollar Q yard, inset with heavy lace around the foot of the skirt and on the bertha. Point de Venise and imitation Irish make excellent insets and may be out lined with frilling of French or Ger man valenciennes. Twelve yards of

NEWS IF THE WEEK IN SOCIETY WORLD. Charity Ball to Be Given In
 Easter Week NOTES HERE AND THERE Under the Auspices of the Auxiliary To District Nursing Arrangements For Brilliant Ball Will Be
 Made During Lent.
NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY ANNIE KENpRIck WALKER.

with the close of the winter season an- nouncenlent comes of a large ball to be danced Easter week. the subscriptions to which will be used for one of Birming- hams most deserving charities, the work of nursing the esiek in the poverty-strick- en districts.
 This work, which was established by the Graduate Nurses association and pro- noted through an auxiliary composed or 200 women. is one of the most important philanthrophies yet attempted in Birning4 ham and deserves cordial support.
 The society is in need of funds to carry forward the work, as was stated in these columns yesterday. The president Of the auxiliary and others interested Tn the work have been considering several plans by which funds could be raised. They have decided upon charity ball, whlch they desire to make an annual event. opening the Easter season every year.
 A meeting of the chairmen of the con- mittees which compose the auxiliary IS called for Monday morning at 10:sO o'clock at the residence of Mrs. T. G. Bush to confer in regard to the work, and to als- cuss the arrangements for the Dah.
 The district nursing work is entirely non-sectarian, and the cooperation or hundreds of people should be forthcom- ing. as all who can do so should lend a helping hand.
 Charity balls in other cities are events of social brilliancy. All the fashionable world goes, and women of social promi- hence work to make them financial suc- cesses.
