Ninety.six HomIess Children

That's the number, 96. Ninety-six children gathered from all parts of the state and from all denominations. The Sisters of Charity are caring for this number at the East Lake Orphans home, and they are appealing to the charitable for aid at this season of the year. A new wing has been added to the orphanage, and homeless children are taken in and cared for. The Sis ters are, however, sore pressed for money with which to meet their in- debtedness and to continue the work of caring for homeless children.
 Surely in the Christmas season 96 homeless children should alone be a sufficient appeal. The grounds at East Lake are ample, and there many homeless children could be cared for if the more fortunate people would assist in clothing and feeding the lit- tie ones. Keep them in mind as Christmas Day approaches.

Prices of Iron and Steel

The steel trade is looking up, and when steel is in demand iron neces- sarily must be. Orders are increas- ing rapidly for steel-not alone for steel rails, but for structural steel also. The managers of the Steel corporation are anticipating the best year in the <entire history of the company, and it has known many good years. It has never known year in which it could not afford employment to it's army of men.
 The railways are placing orders for great amounts of rails, and this dis trict is getting. it's share of such or ders. Every order of that nature means dollars and cents here to near ly every citizen in the last analysis.
 The orders that are coming in seem to be due to, in part, to the hand to mouth policy that has been followed ever since the limb broke in 1907, , and consumers begin to see that the coming year has no problems that any one need fear. It is to be busy, prosperous year according to all in- dications at present.

HOW A PLAY IS WRITTEN

Charming Pollock in '"The Footlights-
 Fore and Aft"
 When Eugene Walter writes play the tools necessary to the process are one large room, one outfit of furniture and one exceptionally rapid stenogra- pher. MT. Walter and the stenographer enter the room. The door is locked, and work is begun by placing the furniture as 1t is to be placed on the stage-in other words, by setting the scene. Then the young dramatist begins to act. He is all the characters in his play. He rushes about the apartments, quarreling with himself, making love to himself now standing here as one person and then racing to the opposite end of the apartment to be another All the time he is speaking the words that come into his mind as natural under the circum- stances, and the stenographer Is taking them down at. top speed. At the end of an hour or two an act is finished, an invisible curtain Is rung down, and, if the amanuensis hasn't tainted, as two did in one day of labor on Paid in Full.' the stage is set for the next acA

HOW TO EcoNOMIzE

J. L. D.-IIarper's Bazar.
 Harper's Bazar is discussing the prob blem What share of her husbands in come should a woman receiver" Women In every walk of life are contributing their experiences. Here is typical one: .f ~ af-fs.st4
 The question of a wife's share of her husbands income is vital one to all of us women. l don't know whether my experience will help others; but 1t may, so I will give it.
 We married, my husband and l. when he had a salary of $25 week; it is still the same. After some experiments we settled down to the following sched- ule of expenses:
 Rent Ga month) .............. $500 Housekeeping Ga week. ......... 1000
 Clothing and car fare
 Husband Ca week) ............S 400 Wife Ca Week) ................. 5.UV Coal (about--a month) ..-..,... 5.0O
 Add these together and it leaves about s1 week This Is kept for emer- gencies. The coal is only needed for heating the house. We cook with gas, and that l pay for with a part of the $10 a week. That and my s3 are given to me and I manage as well as l can with them; I think with sume success. pay for everything we eat. ice, gas and woman to do the heavy washing once in two weeks. Small things wash myself. Of course, do the cook ing and I am always learning new ways to make good dishes out of small bits of left overs.' That helps greatly. | 1 make some of my own clothes, too, and all my hats--another fine method
 of economy. My husband is always well dressed. He, too, knows how to take care of his clothes. We feel that we | have made the best possible division of our income and are comfortable and contented. I hope this may help some other couples who have their question I to settle.

Choosing National Delegates

Chairman Goodwin was compelled to call the democratic state committee together before the meeting of the democratic national committee, be- cause Alabama has, on account of the death of the lamented John W. Tom linson, no representative on the na- tional committee. The state committee will today name a national commit teeman for Alabama, who will be present at Washington when the dem- ocratic national committee meets on January 8.
 The state committee need not at this time proceed to say how and when the state delegation to the na- tional convention shall be selected, but no doubt it will do so in order to avoid the calling of another meeting of the state committee soon after January 8. The business can be trans acted today, and no doubt it will be.
 However diverse the views of the state committee may be on some sub- jects, all agree that Oscar w. Under wood is the unanimous choice of the democrats of Alabama for President. Not a dissenting voice is heard from one end of the state to the other among democrats. All democrats are ready to declare that the man who has given shape and form to the revenue tariff issue, upon which the battle of 1912 will be fought, is the man to lead the party in the coming campaign. He is a man of high capacity, large experi-. ence and stern integrity, with all the qualities of leadership. He has tact, magnetism and persuasive powers. He has welded the democratic majoity
 House into a compact and harmoniou force, and he is today national leac CT who stands for all that is sane anc sound. He commands respect where | ever his personality is felt. Alabama
 will today offer him to the country as the best man the party contains to conduct it to victory next November. Let it be done in an unmistakable manner without doubt, hesitation or eqivocation, leaving the unknown bridge of possibilities to be crossed when we come to it.

Park Extension at the Fair Ground,

Park Extension at the Fair Grounds
 No harm could result in submitting to the people the question of purchas- ing the State Fair grounds, nearly 100 acres. The grounds are centrally located, and the proposition of the as sociation certainly deserves considera- ton. It involves the payment down of neither pri,cipal nor interest. It does involve considerable future re. sponsibility, and the people are the best judges of the desirability or non. desirability of that responsibility.
 The matter should be submitted to the people of the city at the first convenient opportunity. There is no need of calling an election for that purpose, but when an election must be held for some other purpose there is no reason why the opinion of the city on the fair grounds proposition should not be taken.
 If the people want the State Fair grounds as park on the terms of ,fered they should have them. A refer endum on the subject would harm no one, and it might equip the city with a fine location for a centrally located park.

Dr. Stiles on the HooIxworm

Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles, the dis .overer of the hookworm, is native of Raleigh, N C., where he now lives, although his work is in the public health and marine hospital depart ment. He is still engaged in study ing the hookworm in the south.
 In his lecture on Monday night be- fore the student body of the Birming- ham medical college, he was abun- dantly supplied with slides showing his studies in the south. These slides were flashed on screen and the sub ject was thus brought before the stu dents in an almost realistic manner.
 Dr. stiles believes negroes brought the hookworm from Africa. The worm grows to maturity in eight days and it is ready then to enter the body

through the spin. From the negroes
 the hookworm passed to "the poor
 whites" among whom it has worked distressing results. It is now ire quently found in persons who are bet ter fed and who are trying to avoid diseases of all kinds. In many uni versailles and colleges 30 per cent have been found infected, and in the rural public schools the percentage sometimes is 100 per cent.
 Dr. Stiles asks the south to accept the fact that the hookworm is here to be fought back and eventually to be driven out. The two races must be kept apart and cleanliness and better living are needful. The task is a big one, but if all students will grap- pie it, it can be conquered. At pres ent, says Dr. Stiles, it is "the greatest of the industrial progress of the south" .,.a F~st

WHAT COLORS MEAN ON MAPS Cyrus C. Adams in Harper's for Jan-
 uary.
 The use of color on maps has now been reduced by the best map, makers to logical system Not very long ago we saw on our own maps of the United States each state differentiated from those around it by covering of color. A tint along the boundaries would have answered every purpose and left oppor- tunlty to use colors throughout the sheet as part of the scheme of symbols. Many map colors are now copied di- recently from nature, and often those selected are particularly appropriate, as, for example, the common use of blues for rainfall maps, the deepening blues or the sea as depths increase, the de- pening buffs and browns as the heights of the land argument, the yellow tints for arid and sandy regions. and greens largely used on maps oealing with plant geography. The map makers of the leading nations are approaching one another more and more nearly in their use of map colors; and for public con- venience 1t is hoped that some day we shall see uniform system of coIors in all map symbolism Such ques- tions those are sometimes settled by scientific bodies, as was the case when the geological congress at Bologna, in 1881, selected the colors to be applied to the international geological map of Europe,
