that marriage means not the providing of

|, contented woman am especially in
terested in this movement of few, the
woman ballot movement. / read much in
its favor, hear its arguments and then
think a little for myself, but / always
come to the same conclusion, and ask
myself. "Will woman's vote stop labor
agitations? Can womans vote prevent
accumulation of wealth which causes un-
rest? Can womans vote create laws and
enforce them? Can woman's vote improve
morals
From a local standpoint I believe the
women of Birmingham can do more for
local conditions by giving their time and
strength to needed improvements than
they can by giving their time and energy
to an effort that eventually will prove
woman's undoing if carried.

When in May, 1911. 1 was honored
with the presidency of Alabama divi-
sion the desires nearest my heart were
more systematic help for our needy
old veterans; more systematic work
for making historically beautiful our
own beloved state, and more money in
our Alabama division treasury.
SO my first work was to plan a
relief fund for needy Confederates, and
to urge all chapters to send money
through division treasury. The next
was the formation of the committee
on memorial highways, historic places
and events, whose duty should be to
see that our great highways should go
by our historic places, which should
be designated and appropriately
marked and otherwise beautified and
to see that when possible these high
ways should bear Confederate heroes
names. also TO seek out historic spots
and events, preserve and mark them.
AT the Greenville convention in 1919
in my annual report. as published in
Greenville minutes, 1 again stressed
this, begging that we do more for
our state, particularly calling atten-
ton in the following words to the fact
and deploring 1t that we had not even
remembered our own university-viz;
'In fact, the time has come when
we should do more for our own state,
our beautiful beloved Alabama. We
have worked for other states with zeal
and that was right; but now let us
make Alabama to blossom as the rose.

Locally. the organized work of women
is in evidence everywhere. A certain set
of organized women decided to have free
music in the parks of Birmingham, this
organization asked for the money and 1t
was theirs; certain organized set of
women established a home for Birming-
hams homeless children; a certain set of
organized women established a home for
the Busy Women" and asked for the
money and the voters gave it. Why? Be
cause the women of Birmingham are CO.
workers with the men and through their
organized work are maintaining a city
that is worthy of its people; a certain set
of women carry on the philanthropic
work of Birmingham; the churches and
their great spiritual work is supported by
women: all material development in Bir-
mingham is part of woman s work; 1t
has not been necessary, heretofore, to
call for the vote to bring Birmingham
Alabama and the nation to higher stand
ard of living. The progress of any people
means changing conditions and 1t takes
a high moral standard to combat with
the destructive forces around about us
A slip of paper cast in locked box will

plea that organized woman effort will ac-

which prayer scrolls are read and bless

Wherever the making of metal swords
may have originated. the chief fame be-
longs, of course, to Damascus, where
these weapons have been made from time
immemorial. But almost equally famous
are the swords of Khorassan. The best
eastern blades are. however at least
equaled today by those of European man
ufacture, which is evident when met with
in Asiatic hands, though in most cases
they have been remounted In eastern style
to suit the fancy of their owners.
The particular treatment of the steel
used for the manufacture Of Asiatic
swords had not a little to do with the
reputation of the latter for the damas-
cening, or watering of choice Persian
and Indian arms gives a most attractive
appearance to the work. Much the same
thing was in evidence In the making of
Damascus gun barrels until it was dis
covered that fluid steel was preferable for
the latter. at least from the manufac-
turer's point of view.
In the case of sword steel the "watered"
effect is produced by a process of crystal
lization, so that when the steel is forged

is offered before the work begins. and

before any one Of the swords can be de-
clared well and truly made.

A Useful Society

From Pearson's Weekly.
Just one more of Mr.. Hicks stories.
A kind-hearted lady was collecting for
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. She paid a series of house to
house visits. and at one door her knock
was answered by a rather stupid looking
servant.
The lady explained her errand, that she
was collecting small sums for the funds
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruz
city to Children, but the girl found this
title rather too much of a mouthful. She
went upstairs to the nursery, where her
mistress was hard at work bathing and
dressing half a dozen lively, shouting
children, and trying at the same time to
coax the recently-arrived baby to so to
sleep, and announced: please NJ, there S
somebody at the door collectin for the
Society for the Prevention of Children
The worried mother sent down a willing
donation of half crown.

Beautiful Cover Page Not Only Fea- ture of September Issue of the
 New State Magazine.

In an unusually stunning cover the Arizona Magazine appeared yes terday from the sanctum of c. S Scott, it's publisher and went on the streets for September. It has gotten to be lately, so that in speaking of new issue of this up date pub licatiOn, the first thing. to be men toned is the classy outside get up. though this doesn't imply that the matter on the inside is any the less excellent. But covers sell ma gazines in the windows, and not the printed page.
 Features of the reading part are the new fiction article, The Man the People Chose" by Grace Reeve Fennell. The story depicts the final scenes in Arizona's fight for state hood, and it is said the plot is built about Ralph Cameron, the delegate in congress at the time of the ad- mission of the territory. The story of the undeveloped el dorado of the north is another pleasing part of the big issue. It deals with the inn rich sections in NortheFn Arizona Another is the pumping review by Editor Clinton Scott.
 With the September issue well off his hands, MT. Scott is now going to turn his attention to the prepara tion of a big special edition for the Arizona State Fair.
