In more ways than one does she look
like a living procession of her ancestors
! From the rich brocades that garb her tc
the languid droop of her naturally athletic
young form, she recalls the family por-
| traits.
| II Mr. Emerson were writing poetry to-
day he would take her as his model OF

stirringest lines.
| In manner and department she is gentle,
decorus and kind.
| None of the hurly- -burly, 'Ive-got-

terized the girl of the more strenuous age
| a few-years gone by, suggests itself to

! In this, too, she partakes of the feminine
gentleness OF the sweet ladies' of the fam

! Despite the suggestion of laneuor her
presence makes, she is full of life, and
her interest in her fellow women is big
and broad.
She is just as much of 'live one now
as were her sisters when girls walked
with an athletic stride and went in for all
sorts of masculine effects.
Miss Nineteen-T Thirteen loves the out
doors.
The broad highways and the open road
makes a mighty appeal to her.
She is sturdier :han those other girls of
past generations whose gentleness and
femininity she possesses.
She walks longer; she motors harder,
she dances more strcnuously, plays games
with more vim and her spirits are more
enduring.
She loves flowers, does Miss Nineteen

their rose gardens more than themselves:
who wept when plant died that they had
tended. and whose greatest joy was in
hearing the flowers grown by their own
hands commended by ardent flower wor-
shippers were more flower loving than
she.
Above all things, Miss Nineteen -Thir-
teen isn't copy of any one else, when
1t comes down 10 the real elemental
things.
She is naturally individual. has much OF
the good of the girls who have gone be-
fore her, but she has sweetened them
with charm all heR own.
She is bright; she has intelligence, and,
better still, she has common sense.
More proud of this Is she than the 'tem-
perament' OF which her older sisters
boasted.
She likes primitive things. but this does
not make her desplse the luxuries of civil
fzation that IL of her time.
Miss Nineteen Thirteen is altogether

SAYS VOTERS WILL
SUSTAIN SENATORS
Marcus We'll Says Thornton
and RansdaIl Represent
Peoples Views
o tho Edltor of The Ase-Herald

To the Editor of The ASe-Herald:
An afternoon paper of yesterday
seems to censure Senators Thornton
and Ransdell from Louisiana because
they are democrats. ior voting against
free sugar as these senators are under
the impression it would destroy those
fine sugar plantations in their state.
The paper further says in the next
elections the voters of said state would
likely retire them.
In the congressional election last
January Louisiana polled 65,61S votes
Every democrat in the sugar country
of Louisiana consisting of the First.
Second, Third and Sixth congressional
districts. was elected and polled 40,313
votes. The balance of the state, con-
sisting of the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh
and Eighth districts. and even portions
of those counties raise sugar, polled
25.305 votes.
And as | was raised in Louisiana and
lived there 20 years of my life, l de-
sire to inform the public of Alabama
that Senators Thornton and Ransdell
are standing by their people and will
be reelected by a larger mapority than
they were before, by voting as they do

Greek Soldiers Accused

Sofia. July 12.-An Official statement has
been issued by the government as fol-
lows:
THE Greeks daily publish caumous
statements accusing the Bulgarians of
massacres and incendiarism. In this con-
nection 1t must be pointed out that the
Greek troops killed thousands of Bulga-
rians at Kilkish and Diran and burned
their villages. A number of the refugees
who succeeded In escaping have already
arrived at Sofia. This in addition to the
monstrous action against the Bulgarian
garrison at Saloniki''
A semi-official statement says: Gem
eral Ivanoff worthily commanded the
Second Bulgarian army which, with In
significant forces, executed a brilliant re-
treat. With three brigades it checked the
advance of the whole Greek army, 100,-
600 strong. 1t Is known that the Greek
army was held up for three days at
Kilkish, where the Bulgarians had only
six battalions. The Greeks took 10 days
to reach Mount Beles.
THE movements of the Second army
will remain remarkable in history as a
successful movement of weak contin-
gents against force of overwhelming
superiority. The Greeks will perhaps
have an opportunity of testing the mill
tary art of General Ivanoff and the high
morale of his troops.
I'm the circumstances it is absurd to
talk of the capture of General Ivanoff
and two divisions
