Let us throw no stones while we

the very producers of this so-called
surplus and over-production must
spend their lives in increasing toll

1t is the greed for profit, for which
all things are produced under this in

THE SOCIETY EDITOR

An attractive story of the duties OF
the society editor" was written this
week in the Bessemer Weekly by
Mrs. Lula Judson Moody, occasioned
by the illness of a member of the
Age-Herald staff.
1.-The illness of Miss Myrtle Mics,
who lies at a we'll known Birmingham
infirmary, slowly recovering from a
serious operation, has been the cause
for sincere regret not only to the
large circle of Miss Miles personal
friends, but to an endless number Of
admirers throughout the state, to
whom her work on the Birmingham
Age-Herald has long been familiar.

ide aamong the initiated that almost
anyone can do the society column of
a newspaper. They think that it is

degree of optimism and self-confi-
dence, which might prove a valuable
asset in some line of endeavor to
which she is suited, but who has new
er written a line for publication in
her life, has nevertheless walked
blithely into the editorial sanctum
and applied for the post of society
editor. AS anyone can be an editor
so thinks the inexperienced, anyone
can fill up the social column.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. To fill department day aft

comments; to make it interesting,

That Alaska has been merely
scratched as to its varied resources,
and that the new aforementioned
country's making were among opin-
ions expressed in a Galveston inter
view recently by ]. F. Pugh, collector
of customs for the District of Alaska,
who was en- route TO his home in

Collector Pugh had been attending
the conference OF customs collectors
held in New York City and was inter
viewed at Galveston while taking the
southern route home.
The picture that presents itself to
the average man when he reads or
hears of Alaska is a field of ice and
snow" said Mr.. Pugh. The idea is
entirely erroneous. OF course, we
have ice and snow and some so TO 40
degrees below weather. The average
man has heard all TO the disadvantage
and little to the advantage of Alaska.

is going to be the country's making.

10000 society women of Oklahoma,
members of elite card clubs, are
liable to arrest and punishment under
the recently enacted gambling law,
which, according to attorneys, makes
it p crime to play for prizes, even in
parlor or drawing rooms. The law
has not been tested in the courts, but
evidently it covers everything from
the open gambling house to the cities
most exclusive residence districts.
The new gambling law is direct
result of a campaign made by Cover
nor Lee Cruce since his Inauguration,
nearly four years ago. He advocated
both this law and also one that would
prevent racetrack gambling, and both
are now on the statute books. The
first has been known as the anti-slot
machine measure, but l. includes ev-
erything that is a game of chance.
In some counties of the state the
prosecuting attorneys have already
called the attention of the society card
clubs 20 the fact that they are under
the ban, since the law went into eff

houses, but there has been nothing to
indicate that one of these clubs has

course they had sworn an oath not to
fire a shot at a Frenchman and their

captured and permitted to put on the

They are firing IN the air. They

armies came to a hand-to-hand fight
with the bayonet. First it was the
Germans who occupied the town, then
the French. The Germans finally came
to our house and accused my sister,
my father and myself of being spies
because they found a telephone there
The soldiers lined us up against the
wall to shoot us, but we fell on
our knees and begged them to spare
the life of our father. They gave no
heed till German colonel came along
and after questioning us ordered that
we be set free.
Soon after this the Germans were
driven out. and then began a terrific
battle, in which it was said not less
than 100000 were killed. The Ger
mans seemed to be advancing, and aft
er some trouble we managed to pro-
cure an ox-cart and got to Switzer-
