WASHINGTON. Nov. 11,-When
900 600 women stepped up to the
polls the other day and voted for
President it is hardly likely that
many of them stopped to think that
for this privilege of voting they owed
more to one woman in Washington
than to any other person or group.
Yet such, indeed, was the case, and
the one woman to whom they should
have felt so deeply indebted was Mrs.
BelVa A. Lockwood, of this city.
Mrs. Lockwood now 50. commenced
her fight for equal rights away back
in the early fifties, when she was
"a years of age. She has kept it up
ever since.
II have not rested since that day."
says Mrs. Lockwood. 1.-The fight has
been a hard and furious one against
great odds, and at times dreadfully
uphill, but we have fruits to show
for the scars of battle.
I'VE have made great progress.
The story of my hard and long fight
for woman's rights-equal rights
gives fair idea of what women in
this country have had to do.
In 1873 1 was admitted to the bar
of the Supreme Court, after a great
struggle. I was the first woman in
the world to have that honor. Forty
nine others have had it since"
Mrs. Lockwood has not confined
her efforts to securing the ballot for
women. II have always fought for
equal rights for women" she says,
feeling that the ballot would nat
urally follow.

 THROUGH MEXICO
Chamber of Commerce Receives an Invitation From the Inter-
 national Club

The members of the Chamber of Com merce Of Birmingham have been extend ed an invitation to participate in a trade excursion to be made through Mexico early in March under the auspices of the International club of San Antonio, Tex K. C. Mills, secretary of this club, has forwarded full information of the object personnel, equipment and itinerary of this trip to Secretary Joseph B. Babb of the local organization with the hope that a large representation of Birmingham peo- pie would be among those making the Mexico jaunt.
 The International club was formed for the express purpose of fostering and cementing the commercial and social intercourse between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. Mir. Mills states that Mexico just emerging from year of internal strife, is due to purchase more goods in this country than in the pre- ceding decade if the people of the states go after it In the right way. This tour Is also designed to remove any impression existing in this country that business Is to be unsettled in Mexico and promote a mutual friendly feeling between the two republics in question. For those who have interests in that country the excursion is planned to be of special benefit as 1t will promote the colonization of this country, thereby raising land values and upbuild- ing the centers Of population. For the business or professional man who wants a pleasant mid winter 20 day trip through a land that was old when ours was born, travelling in special trains, entertained by the government and business men of Mex ico, this excursion is intended
 Each city that sends a carload of citi- zens will have large banner on their gar bearing the name of that particular city and an appropriate phrase in Span ish. The rates for this trip are to be very reasonable and Mexico will be seen by some 200 or 300 business men of the United States as it has never been seen before.
 The Birmingham prospective members of this excursion can obtain further data from the Chamber of Commerce. twenty four has been mentioned by the San An tonic club as the number desired from this city.

fighting fire than the chief. who has been scrapping flames for only 25 years. He is | comparatively a novice in the business and needs advice and assistance. The city authorities do not consider the fitness of man for the position when they elect him to the position. Consequently their valuable advice, they think, Is needed and they give it whether or no.
 At the Bragg building fire. Chief BodelSer of the police department threw a cordon of police around the fire which served as a fire line, but that was possible only at that time. He had plenty of men at his disposal at the time, as the morning shirt was just going on duty and the evening shift was just coming in from work. The men of the evening shift doubled over and many of them remained on duty until the next morning at 10 o'clock. This was not possible at the fire on Sunday morn ing as the morning shift men were seat tered over the city and the. evening shlt' men were asleep at their homes all over Greater Birmingham. Consequently there were only about eight policemen avail able for fire police duty.
 It is the expressed opinion of many eiti- zens of Birmingham that the eommls- sion would do well to pass fire line ordi- nance and give orders to the police de partment to enforce it rigidly. It would do away with the nuisance mentioned and would greatly aid the firemen in theiI work as they would be given clear field in which to work.

UNDERWOOD LOYALTY
 IMPRESSED BURRELL
Federal Expert From Department of Mines Leaves City for Rock
 wood, Tenn.

"One characteristic of Birmingham, and indeed the whole state, that has intensely interested me during my stay here is the general enthusiasm and admiration of oscar W. Underwood, both the politician and the man." said G. A. Burrel, chief chemist of the department of the interior on the eve of his departure for Rock wood, Tenn, last night at o'clock.
 The praise given him as the leader of the ways and means committee, | find, is more than doubled among his acquaintances here as man of real personal worth. and there are few men In public life who bear so enviable rep utation for character and ability as that accorded to this distinguished Bir- mingham man. One of the pleasant memories connected with my official visit here will be the loyalty of Under woods home people, which is very commendable and evident in this in stance"
 MT. Burrell has made many friends among the state inspectors and coal mining operators while in this city for the past week to install the new gas testing apparatus for the state mining department and has personally inspect ed several of the largest coal proper ties during his stay here. He left for Rock wood, Tenn, last evening and will probably stop off in the West Vir- glnia coal fields before his ultimate re- turn to his work at Pittsburg.
 An unfortunate incident of the visit of the federal chemist has been the ill- ness of the chief state mine inspector, C. Fl. Nesbitt, who has been suffering from an attack of Ia grippe for the past week, but he is expected to be out again before many days.
