 Not by any /fneans," was the answer. s'You see. the<very fact that it is an out door existence robs the condition of many of the horrible surroundings the fac- tory, the glass works and the sweat shops are menaced with.
 "Of course. too. the liability to accident is not nearly so great in agricultural work as in factories. The picture is a dark one, isn't it. but it is not oyer- drawn"
 What obstacles will be the most potent in the reform measures that the National committee will enact?" I asked.
 AS little as you might think, the par ents are the least obstacles in our way. It is usually the manufacturer who stands in our light and makes legislation hard as regards the age and hours of work which govern the child labor prob- lem. That is the object of the present conference, to enact a uniform child la bor law throughout the states"
 Remedial legislation has been accom- plished in many states" I suggested.
 "Ohio has an almost perfect child labor law. It is often called the banner state in the work. Louisiana has a good child labor law and Illinois comes in that class also"
 Germany, I think, has the best idea of child labor laws. perhaps. of any country in the world, and with the new industrial awakening in Japan the same problems are presented for the consider aton of her statesmen" I remarked.
 "It Is a worldwide theme" said MT. Loveioy. "The question is pressing upon us and clamoring for a hearing. The so- lution must be such that will adjust mod ern industrial conditions so as to mako them conducive to the highest possible development of all her people.

| Jasper, March S.-(Special )-An- nouncement is made that Rev. Foster l Gamble native of Jasper. who two years ago went as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, to Corea, Is now on his way homeward. Mr. Gamble took with him as a CO., | laboper, his bride herself an earnest 1 church worker, and with their little son, l a native of Corea, the little family will 1 receive a cordial welcome home. It is said that MT. Gamble finds he cannot withstand the climate of the far-off
 country. hence his return.
 Mrs. Steve Cranford of this city re- ceived the sad intelligence of the death
 of her father, J. Walter Henry, in his new home at Muskogee Okla. The body passed through here yesterday morn
 ing, and MT. and Mrs. Cranford accom- panied it to Andalusia, where the burial occurred today. Mir. Henry was we'll
 known in this state as a prominent in- surance man. He moved to Oklahoma
 about IS months ago.
 Walker county's rapid development must be taken in consideration with the immense output of coal In Alabama last year, as reported by the state mine inspector. for next to Jefferson, Walker
 Is the largest coal producing county in the state.

 judge in the state, seems to be giving excellent satisfaction to the bar and to the people.

 conditions are very different" said MT. Lovejoy. Until recent years the south was not concerned with these ques- i tions as the north has been. But the child labor problem confronts us on ev- cry hand now"
 'The rapid living that we do, Ameri- canitis, as we call it, is largely responsi- ble for every member of the family be- ing called into work" 1 suggested.
 Every avenue is invaded by children, -a-days," said MT. Lovejoy "The factory, the mines, the glass works. the sweat shops, every vocation, in fact, in which human labor is employed. These children who are to be the states most valuable assets, and the men and women who are to rule future destines, and the progenitors of the country's future laws, are found working like beavers, during long hours and under terrific conditions.
 "One of the most pernicious evils that wo have to encounter in our work" con tinued MT. Lovejoy, ''ls the theatrical profession. It Is glazed over with a beau tiful veneer, as 1t were. Everything seems smooth and attractive on the sur face. and hundreds of children are now making their living that way. Leaving their homes uneducated and untrained and following the stage as vocation. They are better paid than the average shop girl who gets maybe s3 or $4 a week, and the result is that after they have served their youngest and best days they are thrown over in the theatrical junk pile and what are they good for? That is one of the worst conditions that we have to confront"

MRS. R. V. MORLEY
 HOSTESS AT RECEPTION

Another unexpected Lenten diversion was the reception given by Mrs R. w. Mobley yesterday afternoon in compli- ment to Mrs. Northington of Tusca- loosa and Mrs. Pigford of Lumberton Miss. One hundred of her friends were golden afternoon conspired with the charm of the hostess to bring almost the entire invitation list to meet her attractive visitors.
 Yellow was the color tone employed by the hostess in decorating almost her entire house. Smilax was draped as a background, forming foil for the display of glorious color, and palms and ferns added to the richness fof the floral effect. Quantities of daf- fodils filled the vases and bowls set on tables and mantels, while the shades topping the candlesticks on the bon bon table borrowed their tone from the great placque in the center. A salad course was served to the guests in the dining room, while a punch bowl stood in the reception hall. This was presided over by Mrs. J. C. Mob- ley and Mrs Samuel Teague.
 The hostess and her guests of honor greeted the callers in the drawing room. She was attired for the occa- sion in white marquisette, with coral garnitures. Mrs. Pigford's gown was a becoming gray crepe ue FarlS, ana Mrs. Northington also wore a crepe de Paris costume in the blut tint The other matrons who stood with them were Mrs. John Rosenstihl, Mrs. John Brazeal and Mrs b. T. Glass.
 Receiving in the hall were Mrs. F. F. Culver, Mrs. George Hughes and Mrs. E. B. Havis; in the dining room Mrs. Mobley was assisted by Mrs. F. J. Bigham, Mrs. l.. E. Reynolds, Mrs B. M. Harris. Mrs. Augustus Lee and Mrs. McCune.

COL. W. ). MANN IS
 IN BIRMINGHAM The Owner of Town Topics
 Praises City HERE FROM MOBILE Was for Many Years Owner of The Mobile Register and Always Takes Great Pride in Ala
 bama's Progress

Col William Dalton Mann of New York, owner and editor of Town Topics, is at the Hotel Hillman. He is accom- panied by Mrs. Mann and his daughter, Mrs. Wray, who was until recently edi- tor of the Smart Set. Colonel Mann has important business connections outside 0f his well-known publication, among them being extensive lumber interests in Alabama.
 Colonel Mann is native of the north ern part of Ohio and was a colonel In the union army. Although he has reached the age of three scone and 10 he Is in strong health and seems to be as alert as most men at 50. He moved to Mobile Immediately after the war and adopted that city as his home. He bought the Mobile Register, and for number Of years was leading citizen of Alabama. He drove the first spike in the Mobile, New Orleans and Texas railroad, now a part of the Louisville and Nashville. Being democrat in politics he was as highly esteemed in Alabama as the northern republicans were unpopular dur ing reconstruction days. Colonel Mann and his family have been on visit to Mobile.
 q had not seen Birmingham for 23 years until I came on this trip" said Colonel Mann last night "Of course have kept run of it pretty well ever since the town was founded about 40 years ago: indeed, I was one of it's earliest and most ardent prophets. Well, as much as I had expected of Birmingham it has ex- ceeded by far my early dreams am amazed at it's rapid growth, at the mag nitude of it's business, and above all things I am enchanted with the beauty of It's landscapes. I don't know of city in the United States that has such beautiful scenery inside of municipal limits and within easy reach of the busi- ness district as Birmingham. Nature was certainly most kind to this section. Here in these hills, lying side by side, are the coal, ore and limestone for mak- ing pig iron, and what especially inter- ests me is the fact that the utilitarlan and the beautiful are in such large meas ure combined if and around Birmingham.
 "When I was living in Mobile I was nominated for Congress, and in my speech of acceptance I stressed the great possibilities of this valley as an industpfal center. That was in 1S69- two years before Birmingham was es- tablished. But the geologists and oth CTS knew about the rich natural re- sources. and it was believed back in those days that a city would sooner or later flourish here"
 Colonel Mann was elected to the house of representatives from the Mo- bile district by majority of nearly 2O00. but as Alabama was then under northern military rule no one could be seated in Congress unless he had a certificate signed by the military gov ernor and as Colonel Mann was dem ocrat and an adopted southerner the

SOME FACTS ABOUT
 TYPHOID IN BRIEF

In Birmingham in 1910 there were 466 cases of typhoid fever. Out of this num- Der there were 6S deaths, approximately 16 per cent.
 Estimating the(expense of these cases at the lowest possible figure. $100 each. Somebody, whether hospital, family or medical men, in time, thought and money, spent some S46,60
 In July, 1907, 100 cases of typhoid were traced by the health department to a dairy which was selling milk to the per- sons infected.
 At Annapolis last autumn there were about 30 cases among the students at the Naval academy. The medical de- partment traced all of these directly to one dairy A member of the dairyman' . family having typhoid, the bacilli get ting into the milk and causing this num- Der of cases at the academy.

certificate was refused and carpet bagger went in his stead.
 Colonel Mann said that Alabama, in his opinion, had the greatest variety of resources of any state in the union. Of Mobile he said that that city which has long been an important gulf port, would grow fast from now on.
 In speaking of politics. Colopel Mann said: Alabama produced many strong statesmen before and after the war, and has many real statesmen today. No other states in the south has such an able delegation in Congress. Senator Bankhead and Senator Johnston are both strong men and as for Oscar Un- derwood the eyes of the whole coun- try are turned on him. My old friend, Clayton. who Is to be chairman of the judiciary committee, has a national reputation and a number of young Ala bama congressman are winning distnc- tion. Such delegation is a big adver- tisement for this state and l feel sure that Alabamians are proud of their public men.'

 GOES ID PRISON Will Keep Wray Company for Five Days-Moody
 Wray Released

Following the conviction and imprison- ment of Richard Wray alias Dick Wray, Wednesday, like sentence of five days in jail and $50 fine was imposed by Judge H. A. Sharpe yesterday on w E. McFadden, who was found guilty of a charge of having violated the prohlbi- tion injunctions issued against him last November
 Moody Wray who was affected by the rules in the proceedings through which Dick Wray and w. E. McFadden had been convicted, was discharged by Judge Sharpe. and the costs of the court pro- ceedings were assessed against Dick Wray and W. E. McFadden.
 These three parties were thef only wit nesses placed on the stand by the de- fendant and they were allowed to give testimony in their own behalf Richard Wray swore that Moody Wray had dis posed of his interest in the soft drink stand following the writ of injunction restraining them from maintaining a traffic in liquors. McFadden's testimony was to the effect that he had been em- ployed by Richard Wray who had bought out the interests of Moody Wray.
 The state then produced witnesses who swore that they had bought whisl1ey from McFadden and one certain witness testified that he had raided the pla se when McFadden was found to be the only one in charge. He said that McFad- den had called up Wray to come and take charge of the place after the raid.
 The attorneys for the state and for the defense came forward with warm IT. guments, after which Judge Sharne ruled that McFadden was guilty of con tempt of court for wilful violation of it's injunction. He held that the evidence against Moody Wray was insufficient and released him.
 c. l.. Fulton was given a sentence of five days in jail and $50 fine for the same offence. Harry Flowers and Johnnie Col lins pleaded guilty to the charge of contempt for violation of the prohibition injunctions, and were fined $50 and costs Tom Smith and Claude Pearson were ac- quilted for want of sufficient evidence.
