Parade

Washington, February S.-Dawn Mist,
daughter of Chief Three Bears of the
Glacier National park Indians, will COM
mand troop of mounted Indian maidens
in the cavalry division of the woman's $
suffrage pageant here on March 3. This
is said to be the first time Indian women
have taken part in the nationwide move
ment for extending the franchise to
women.
In Dawn Mist's troop will be 10 maid
ems, all selected as being the most repre-
sentative of their tribe. All will be
dressed in their tribal ceremonial cos

ment, succeeded in obtaining the cooper
alton of Louis w. Hill, son of James
J. Hill, who has agreed to provide trans
portation for the young women. While
in Washington the Indian girls will live
in their own tepees on camp ground
provided for them.
The cavalry division of the pageant is
taking large proportions. 1t is believed at
suffrage headquarters that nearly 200
mounted women will be distributed
through the procession. The division will
be commanded by Miss Genevieve VIM
satt of Maryland.
1t is practically assured that one large
section will be composed of women wage
earners. Several of the women's labor
unions of Washington already have sig
nifed their intention of marching.

NELSON MAY ERECT LARGER
BUILDING ON GUNN CORNER

operate one of their chain of and 10
cent stores. 1t was stated yesterday
that the Woolworth people would ar
rive in Birming CHAM March l and take
possession of the old Ferd Marx stand.
They will make extensive alterations
and improvement on the interior of the
store and will open for business with
the public about May 1.
Architect H. B. wheelock has al
ready drawn the plans for the build
ing to be erected on the Nelson cor
ner." stated Mr. Motion. While the
building is not as tall as Mr.. Nelson
would prefer to erect on this valuable
site, he prefers to meet the wishes of
the Woolworth people and the plans
now made call for two stories and a
basement. However, there is an agree
ment with the Woolworths that as
many more stories can be added as Mr..
Nelson sees fit. The foundations called
for are such that several more stories
can be added and before the. final plans
for the building are made it may be
that this will be done. 1t will depend
entirely on the demand for office space
in Birmingham. At this time we cant
promise more than two stories and a
basement

There is some possibility that the
building to be erected by Frank Nell
son, Jr., at the corner of Third avenue
and Nineteenth street on the site of
the Gum drug store, may be several
stories high, according to an announce
ment made yesterday That the build
ing will be erected to a height of at
least two stories, work to begin by Oc-
tober 1. this year, was statement made
yesterday by t. II. Motion, agent for
Mr.. Nelson
The building will be occupied on the
ground floor and the basement by the
+. W. Woolworth company for one of
their 5 and 10 cent stores The second
floor will be apportioned off into Is
handsome office rooms The building
is to have very handsome front to be
constructed of white vitrified brick, and
will be completed and occupied by
April i, 1914, by the Woolworth COM
pany, stated Mr.. Motion.
This will make the second store for
the Woolworth company in Birmingham

they rented the old Ferd Marx store

PLANS TO SOLVE
MEXICAN TROUBLES
Thinks Dividing Big Land
Estates Would Aid in
Making Peace

Columbia, 3. c., February S.-Mexico,
the solution of her difficulties in the di-
vision of the great landed estates into
small farms, in the opinion of Zeferino
Dominguez of Mexico. Senor Dominguez,
known as the Corn King of Mexico,
thus expressed himself here today In
making an address at the fifth annual ma
tiona1 corn exposition.
The Mexican agricultural leader held
that desire of the masses for land was
perhaps the chief factor in the unrest
that prevails in the southern republic.
He proposed that the Mexican govern
ment take steps to give to every Mexican
citizen, If he wishes, small farm to
work. II the citizen to whom the land
is given achieves satisfactory results In
It's working he would be decided the land
by the government according to Senor
Dominguez's plan.
II am going to lay my plan before
the Mexican cabinet shortly" said Senor
Dominguesz II also am planning to go
to Washington and try to enlist the CO.
operation of the United States govern
ment in its behalf"
Suggestion also was made by the Mex
lean agricultural leader that Mexico main
tain a large standing army, one-tenth of
working on the farms This, he thinks,
would make the army self supporting.
T. NJ Neighbort of Texas also adj
dressed visitors to the exposition today,
explaining methods of combating the cat
tie tick.
The exposition will continue through
next Friday.

THE BIG SNEEZE

Chicago. February S.-This year of grace

on West Lake street At 1912, the wave
of sneezes spread over the second floor
until presently 125 employees, ker-choo1ng
explosively rushed into the street. Ex-
planation of the outburst was found in
the fact that 225 bags of sulphur were o-l
fire in the basement. Crowds attrac' ed
by the fire engines, rushed to the scene,
but retired as quickly sneezins. The
fumes spread to adjoining zIidings and
their occupants emerged on the street.

Following the conclusion of PUst-
master Aldrich's address many ques-
tions were hurled Mt him from his au-
dience on the parcel post. Mrs. MUIR
doch thanked Mr.. Aidrich for his en-
Tightening address and introduced Miss
Helen Benners, who read short pa
per on "The United States Government
and It's Work" Miss Benners in her pa
per went all through the many diff
ferent branches of governmental work
and legislation, explaining with detail
the history and duties of the federal
government
"The United States government
spends 43 per cent of its entire yearly
expenditure In the maintenance OF the
army and navy" said Miss Benners.
This is in ratio to the expenditures
for the same purpose of Germany and
far more than that Of the other great
powers.
"This huge expenditure is for prep
aration. defense against enemies which
do not exist, while the expenditures
for the enemies that do exist right
with us--disease iyliteracy, infantile
mortality is minute in comparison.
"The appropriation for the erection
OF a national children's bureau in
Washington amounted to what the an
nual repairs of two torpedo boats cost.
There is something wrong in such a
system of spending the public monies
and the women should be educated on
the ways of public expenditures so that
when they get the ballot they will be
able to work intelligently toward maxi
ing the national expenditures for edu-
cation, prevention of disease. infantile
mortality be more commemorate to its
needs."
The meeting then sdjourned.

Explains Parcel Post


II am going to enlarge upon the parcel
post, and perhaps after giving you few
facts in reference to that subject you
will all be asleep, and shall be glad to
slip away. For many years there has
been an attempt made by Congress to
inaugurate some sort of parcel post sys-
TEN, but the enormous extent or our
country, and the conflicting interests have
prevented until the idea of a zone sys-
tenn was elaborated. BY this system
each town is the centre of a zone for
the establishment of rates, and the dis
tance from each town governs the rates
from it, In this way it is up to the peo-
pie of Birmingham, for instance, to
monopolize the trade Immediately around
us. and If we do not do 1t, it is our own
fault.
IAN mail has heretofore been classed
In four great divisions, first, second, third
and fourth. The parcel post business
comprises what has heretofore been con-
sidered fourth class matter. with an In.
crease in weight allowed. a reduction in
charges and large addition of things
to be carried. In fact the law states
that fourth-class matter, In other words.

HORSE RAISING TO BE
 ALASKA BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, March 22.-success- ful experiments in raising range horses on the open ranges of Alaska from stock brought from the ranges of Ore gon and Washington are reported to the department of commerce and la bor by Counsul General Wilbur of Vancouver.
 In the Duke river country, accord ing to this report, horses have been ranged in the open throughout the entire winter for several years, with out protection other than that provid- by nature. Last summer 25 brood mares were imported to that region and all are doing well, Late in the fall of 1911 a number of horses were turned out for the winter on the head of White river. Having been brought from Oregon ranges the spring prev ious, these animals withstood the se- were winter and a number of colts were foaled. Horses innured to the severity of the Alaskan climate are said to be of exceptional vitality, and the success of these experiments will stimulate new industry for the far North.
