New Women Of Persia.

Persian women are essentially fem
mime. They want our dress, our edu-
cation, our freedom, our happiness.
Dress, it will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue of feminine
wants, but a change of dress or colt
fure seems essential to all revolution
airy movements.
In Teheran, in place Of the face veil
Of white cloth, the Persian new wom-
an now wears a small square Of black
net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; a European skirt
has taken the place Of the short skirt
and narrow trousers: the head ker'
chief IL being abandoned. One lady
tried to Introduce an outfit to take
the place Of the "chuddur." leaving
the face heavily yelled; but 1t was
too revolutionary even for Teheran'
and, after being mistaken for the ex-
Shah in disguise, the wearer revert
ed in disgust to more orthodox
clothes. In her home the new woman
offers cigarettes instead OF the water
pipe.-Moslem World.

conjecture until M. Guillaume under

that the great iron structure may vary
an inch in height every day. The ele'

be affected by the rise or fall OF the

Go After Mcfarland

| LaGrange. June 19.-(SpeciaL)-It took
| police interference to take care of I'm
| pire Mcfarland this afternoon in La
| Grange. Never in the history of baseball
| on the LaGrange diamond has there been
such an exhibition of such unsatisfac-
tory work. He robbed LaGrange of the
second game today and his work was
equally unsatisfactory to Opelika. even
though they won the game In the fourth
inning of the last game Manager Kid
Grannen of LAGRANGE called his men off
the field and refused to play ball further
on such decisions as he was receiving at
the hands of Mcfarland.
The special decision in question allowed
the two winnings runs for OpelilSa, and
Mcfarland admitted after the issue arose
that he did not see the ball on which the
decision was made, but refused to change
his decision.
The game was played after the fourth
inning under protest. Beasley pitched the
first inning of the first game for La
Grange and allowed six runs. He was re-
ieved by kid Grannen, who pitched the
balance of both games. The first game
was won by Opeika, to 1. and the second
3 to 2, the two winning runs being made
on the contested decision.

Business Proposition in
Interview in Admission
nv HARRY AYERS

Anniston. June 19-tSpecial) The
practice of working the convicts in the
mines is in large measure respon-
sble for the increasing idle criminal
class in jefferson county and partic-
ularly in Birmingham. in the opinion
of w. S Keller, state highway engi-
neer, who is now making a tour of this
state in the interest of good roads.
Mr.. Keller is a practical road man.
He made a success of building roads
with convicts in Tennessee and he says
he has given considerable study to the
problem while on the present tour of
this state
The question of working the convicts
on the roads is a business proposition
said Mr.. Keller. when asked his views
at the Alabama hotel here Wednesday
evening, and it must be governed by
business methods. just as any other
business. He said that he would not
advise any county to undertake to work
the roads with its convicts If the num-
Der of convicts at command were less
than 10. although he believes that a
practice of leasing the convicts by one
county from another, as in Georgia,
Tor year at a time would be prac-
ticaple IN TINS state. II TINS WORK Is
undertaken by the convicts, however,
1t should be under the supervision of a
trained man vino knows how to work
roads and how to handle men. and
there should be proportion exercised in
the number of men handled and the
amount of paraphernalia carried for
the purpose of working the roads
Mr.. Keller says that Dallas and Et-
owah countries are working the con-
Victs on the roads to good advantage
Other counties have failed, he says, be-
cause they failed to comply with the
restrictions above mentioned.
The practice of working the con-
victs In the mines. says Mr.. Keller, has
brought about a serious problem on the
farms In certain agricultural sections
of the state. The men, especially ne-
groes, are carried away to the mines
they imbibe the atmosphere of the
city. learn how to el<e out a makeshift
existence, and henceforth they are
ruined as farm hands. Even though
they are brought back home by the
guards says Mr. Keller, they drift back
to the city. and join the army of idlers
Hence the scarcity of farm labor and
hence the remarkable crime record in
