At the meeting of the Womans club
of Woodlawn on January 9 the club de-

tied from employing girls for such po-
sitions
At the same meeting a committee was
appointed to memorialize the legislature

forced in more progressive states requir-

Impressed with BIrmInph..

T am most favorably impressed with Birmingham," said John Henry Ranger, New York capitalist who is spending few days here. My first visit to this city was about a year ago. and since then have come frequently to look after a certain business interest centering here
 Birmingham is evidently growing fast. and that it is solidly built city anyone can see at a glance. I have been particu- larly impressed with the beautiful resi- dence sections. As some one remarked the other day, few cities have fashion able home districts in more than one or two directions, while Birmingham has developed attractive residence sections in four directions-north, east south and west.
 The most notable advance here re- gently has been the building of the Tut wiier It is a magnificent hotel and re- fleets not only great credit on Birming- ham, but it would be a credit. to any large northern city. I think 1t is safe to say that there is nothing in the south up to it..

A Crisis Averted

A unique situation was presented when the players of the two major baseball leagues threatened to strike. Player Kraft, who was under suspen- sion for failure to report to the Nash vile team and was about to become the "casus belli," has been disposed of in way agreeable to himself and to the other members of the Baseball Players fraternity. The suspense of ''fans" has ended and the national pastime will continue without interrup- tion.
 To the average lover of baseball who doesn't follow closely the inner workings of the various leagues and is not familiar with the more or less complicated system of acquiring and disposing of players the baseball star seems a favored mortal who draws a large salary for work that seems like play, leads life of comparative ease and is idolized by the public. Stories to the effect that the baseball player is really sort of slave and was until recently without any means of re- dressing his wrongs have been taken with such large pinches of salt that they were scarcely credited at all. Possibly there are two sides to this question, as there are to all other questions, and the organization of the players will serve to curb to some ex- tent the dictatorial policy of league magnates.
 Without discussing the merits of the Kraft case, let us consider what a blow it would be to this country if there were a strike of the major league players lasting for an indefi- mite time, with baseball parks silent and grandstands and bleachers de- serted. What would become of the "fans" if such calamity should come to pass? What would become of thousands of people who find health and recreation at baseball games {? Great industrial strikes are endured with certain amount of patience, but baseball strike would fill the land with gloom of an intensity never be- fora experienced.

common few years ago, was thought to be almost out of fashion; but the Caillaux trial now in progress is ex- citing enough to satisfy the most sensation-loving inhabitant of Paris. Madame Henriett Caillaux is being prosecuted for the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of Figaro. Her de- fense at first was that she killed the editor because he was publishing sensational reports about her husband, a former premier, and making it hot for him. Had the evidence been con- fined to facts relating to politics the court proceedings would have been lively enough; but social scandal as well as state secrets are being brought out, and all the melodramas ever written seem colorless in comparison with this celebrated case.
 Paris is reveling in the testimony given day by day. After the trial is over and Madame Cailaux is acquitted Paris will probably have a nervous collapse, but while the case is on mo- body in the gay capital does anything but grab for the newspaper extras and discuss the testimony and the in- cidents of the courtroom.

SAD CHAMPAGNE OUTLOOK
From the New York Times.

From the NeW 1Ofk Hines.
 Here is sad news from France for bT adway yites-champasne is to be scarce, and cons -quenty likely to be expensive. Last years grape crop was so small, and in some sections of such poor quality, it has been found that only 2,5ooooo gallons of champagne can be made. This so it is reported by Consul William Bardel from Rems. Is about one-third of normal crop, and is far below the amount neces- sary to meet current demands.
 While the news regarding quantity is thus of dark and dreary nature, there is sunshine for Bro sdway in the news as to quality. MT Barde says that, while nothing positive is yet known as to the quality, 1t is nevertheless thought it will prove to be excellent be- cause of the great care exercised in pick ing the grapes. The reason for the smap crop was bad weather.
 1h8champagne manufacturers, MT. Bar del states, have, as has been the case for four years, paid prices for their grapes entirely out of proportion to the intrinsic value of the wine thsy will produce. the reason given being ito keep the wine growers from less arduous and more re- mprerat tive occupations" Some of the smaller champagne no1ses, finding it im- Dc ssible to produce champagne under ex- isting conditions, have gone in for the ms king of ordinary sparkling wines

story of a Treasured roken

While at Wrightsville Beach this week" said Jere c. King, q met a de- lightful relative of Mrs R. D. John ston of mingham-Colonel Jones' and he told me a remarkable story of the return to Mrs. Johnston of a treas- ured token after 50 years
 Mrs. Johnston's father was colonel Of the Fifth Carolina cavalry and was mortally wounded on the battlefield. A short time ago the secretary of state received a letter from union veteran In soldiers home in California, The soldier said that he had confession 10 make. It was that when the colonel of the Fifth Carolina cavalry was nor tally wounded he had ransacked his be- iofgings and taken a small silver cup upon which was engraved the word, Johnsie, and that he was eager to re- turn it. The secretary of state placed an Item in local paper A friend of Colonel Smith, knowing he was related to the dead colonel, sent him the clip ping, Colonel Smith forwarded it to R. D. Johnston, Jr., and the young man showed it to his mother. Communica- tion was established and the cup was promptly sent to Mrs. Johnston.
 The cup was given to Mrs. Johnston when she was baby and had her name engraved upon it. Her father had car ried to war with him and that was the last heard of it until its recent re- turn to the original owner"

The Iron and Steel Institute

No convention or meeting of wide interest announced for the current year has attracted the attention that the American Iron and Steel institute is now attracting. The institute is to meet in Birmingham in October.
 This will be it's first meeting in the south and the attendance will be very large.
 Last week the Baltimore Manufac- turers' Record published nearly four pages of short letters from members of the Iron and Steel institute in which the writers spoke of their deep interest in this district and expressed their intention of being present at the meeting; and this week the Record prints many additional letters of the same tenor. Here are three of them: w. H. Abbott of Wheeling: look forward with great pleasure to the Oc- ooOCi hiSSoiiiS oi tilS lioil anu lotecl lli- stitute. l am deeply interested in the steel business as an American indus try, and am anxious to become more familiar with the Birmingham dis trict."
 w. H. Donner of Philadelphia: q expect to attend the meeting of the American Iron and Steel institute in Birmingham, Ala, next October I agree that visit to this important southern city will be interesting and beneficial"
 William A. Brown of Rogers, Brown & Co. of Buffalo, N. Y: q expect to attend the meeting at Birmingham of the American Iron and Steel institute this fall. A visit to that center of progress and industrial activity is al- ways interesting. Its growth is one of several examples of the marvellous de- velopment of the iron and steel indus try in this country. My business life spans the history of the place from the time when it was a small mos quito-infested railroad hamlet to it's present stately period of fine stores, skyscrapers, beautifud residences and great manufacturing plants. As one who was identified with the begin nings of the coke-iron industry of the south, and who sold the first pig iron shipped by the company which now 1 calls itself he Tennessee Coal, Iron and Raili ,so company, the contrast is interestini 9nd inspiring"
 Birmingham has been well adver- tised city from it's early days. With the building of a few blast furnaces it became the south's iron center. The Tennessee company began to make steel at it's plant at Ensley in 1899, and from that time on Birmingham has been widely known as steel cen ter, although it was not until the United States Steel corporation en- tered the Birmingham district in 1907 that the steel industry here was commercial success.
 As well advertised as the Birming- ham district is, however, it will be far better known among capitalists and steel experts after the big October meeting.

GROWTH OF RAILROADS

From the New York Herald.
 The steam railroads of the country car red 1,033 679, 6S0 passengers in the fiscal year 1913, just reported on by the inter- slate commerce commission, or 39, ,307, ,397 more than in the previous year They increased their freight tonnage by 239, 239,S57, to 2,O5S, ,O35, 4S7. They added 115, ,29S men to their pay rolls and brought their total employment up to 1S15,2s9 men, whose wages aggregated $1.373, s30 5S9. Their operating revenues were larger than ever before. Their miles of line now exceed 244.OOO. and their capitalized value approximates s20 600, ,0OO, ,OO0 or nearly fifth of the total estimated wealth of the nation.
 These remarkable figures and their con tinued expansion year after year express more forcibly than anything else can do the essential dependence of this country on this form of transportation. It is some 20 years since the electric railway on the public highways was to rob the costlier steam roads of most of their pas and in that time the number of passengers carried on the steam roads has just about doubled and their freight tonnage has increased tbreefold.
 It is 10 years since the automobile agait threatened to put the steam roads out of business, and in that time their pas senger traffic has increased AZ per cent ard their tonnage GO per cent.
 The railroads are evidently here to stay and if flying should ever be reduced to commercial terms, We may expect il would act rather as a stimulus to than as destroyer of railroad traffic, as with both the trolley and the automobile.
