Early Ouakeresses

From the Englishwoman.
 No feature of the early Quaker move
 ment was so surprising to contemporary historians as the prominent part taken by women of all classes and positions in spreading it's message. They were not a whit behind the men, remarks one seventeenth century chronicler. 'in courage or in contempt to material ob- stables, initiating them not out of wom- anly precipitancy and boldness, but upon a determinate advice changing as it were their sex and being transmitted from women to men"
 A staid matron named Elizabeth Hooten was the first to be convinced" by Fox S teaching and became in the year 1649 the first woman preacher among the Quakers. Ann Downer. the young daughter of a clergyman. carried the message to Lon don, gathering round her the nucleus of that Society of City Friends which grew to be the model and rallying ground for other towns and nations Margaret the wife of Judge Fell was the nursing mother of It's activities. the helper and the ultimate appeal in all it's distresses. Mary Fisher, a servant girl From York shire. heads the long list of heroic suf- ferers in England who were publicly flogged for their religion. She, too, with an older woman. was the pioneer who brought the Friends doctrine to New England in 1858 and tasted the first fruits of the persecution which was meted out to her fellow believers, even to the ex- tremes of multilation and death. by those who were themselves the survivors of the Mayflower.

On Chinese Currency
,m the Consular Report.

|.
 Present indications are that the trade situation as affected by the status of Chinese paper currency in various parts of China. and particularly in the trade districts tributary to HonglSong, is likely to be improved materially in the imme- diate future. In Canton the currency sit uation has been brought to a head by the announcement that the central govern ment intended not to accept the provin- cal notes now current as money in pay ment of salt taxes.
 This announcement resulted in repre-. sentations on the part of commercial cir cles in south China to the government at Picking, which has leo the central gov ernment not only to accept the provin- cal notes in payment Of all taxes, but has also influenced it to make provision for the substitution ot notes of the cen- tral government for the provincial notes and arrangements to that end are now in progress.
 Arrangements are also being made for the redemption of portion of the out standing provincial notes with silver g. cent pieces to the value of $5, ,400, ,00O, local currency coined by the provincial mint sometime ago. The provincial government also is preparing to raise loan of about $10.00 000 local currency, pledging certain public property such as the government interest in the cement works, the elec- tric light company. the waterworlss com pany and similar property, somewhat ex- ceeding in value the amount to be raised The proceeds of any such loan are to be devoted to the adjustment of the cur rency and to recognizing the finances of the provincial government.

 ship was won The following year the James J. White Greek scholarship in Greek was awarded 10 him. Graduating in 1912 Somervlle was voted a mem Der of the Phi Beta kappa-an honor which is cherished highly by all scholars.
 Returning in 1912, he began work for master of arts degree and at the same time fulfilled the Howard Hous- ton fellowship by instructng in Eng l fish. During his senior year Somervtlle acted as instructor in mathematics. Since 1912 he has been associated with the history department 1 Despite his unprecedented success in intellectual circles, Somerville did not focus his entire time in the pursuit of knowledge. He is the possessor of two college monograms-for track and crews. He is quite adept at heaving the hammer and throwing the discus. In 1912 he won first place in the ham mer and gained monogram. He proved consistent oarsman in 1913 as member of the Albert Sidney boat crew. Somerville has also been placed in the limelight of college in other ca pacities.
 He was elected editor of the college weekly-the Ring-tum Phi-last yea, in the annual election and. has proved a very able editor. During his career

On next Wednesday, the 18th, with the fnnyeling of the boulder on the Univer- isity campus. the U. D. C. of Alabama be- gin the work of making memorially beau tiful and interesting the grounds and buildings Of the University of Alabama.
 Birmingham takes interest in the part played by a Daughter of the Confederacy Of this city in first suggesting the work.
 It was during the administration of Mrs. Chappen Cory as president of the Alabama Division, U. D. C.. and on her recommendation that thisewas adopted as official work of the division.
 The following facts puAished by Mrs. Cory. when she appointed the commit- tee to carry forward this work will on account of the coming unveiling ceremo- nies be of especial interest:
 When in May, 1911, I was honsred with the fpresidency of the Alabama division, the desires nearest my heart were more systematic help for our needy old veter- ans; more systematic work for making more historically beautiful our own be- loved state, and more money in our 4Ala- bama division treasury. So my first work was to plan relief fund for needy Con- federates, 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 desig- hated and appropriately marked and otherwise beautitied, and to see that when possible those highways should bear Con- federate heroes names also to seek out historic spots and events, preserve and mark them At the Greenville conven- ton in 1912, in my annual report, as pub- lished in the Greenville minutes, I again stressed this, begging that we do more Tor our own state, particularly calling attention in the following words to the fact and deploring it 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 OH, beautiful, beloved Alabama. We have worked for other states with zeal and that was right, but now let us make Ala bama to blossom as the rose. The con- mittee on highways and historic places makes a most fitting opening. We go to Richmond and the very soil seems hal lowed-why? Because Virginia loves her history and commentaries it. Our battle fields in Alabama are few. and Confeder- ate events and places outside our own capital city are not so many as in some of our sister states All the more reason We should seek them out. There is a de- piorable lack of information on these sub jects, which we should speedily remedy Here is where historians and members of highways and historic places committees can work hand in hand. Even the uni versity of our state, teeming with historic interest, has not a bronze tablet or a marble memorial anywhere to tell its story to our youth
 Decided to Wait
 Tt was my ardent desire to see this work begun for the University then as many of my friends knew, and I was at that time anxious to recommend It as division work. But feeling we must complete the Julia Tutwiler scholarship. and the memorial to our

Figuring the Cost

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Smoking a cigarette-the kind you buy for Is cents a box-is rather an expensive luxury. if you figure 1t up as a banker would compute his inter- est. A cigarette is finished in a min ute, and the investment represents the Interest for the length of time on $64,- 800. A person smoking 10 or 30 cig- arettes a day burns up the interest on a good deal of money. In drinking a cocktail you consume a minutes in- terest on $64s.000-but probably you never think of that. There are any number of people who spend $1 a day for cigarettes and cocktails. using up during the year the interest on more than $6O00. Unfortunately, in many those who are leas table to afford them.

HAS PLAN TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Michigan Man Taking Census
to Aid In Colonization

Lansing, Mich.-Labor Commissioner
James Cunningham has started what
he thinks will result in the taking OF a
complete census of Michigan farm
hands.
He is sending out blanks to every
supervisor with the request that they
be filled out and returned. The blanks
ask for the number of farm hands
employed by the month. the average
number of months they are employed,
the average monthly wages. the num-
Der of firms operated by tenants and
whether or not there is II scarcity Of
farm help In the district. Some of the
supervisors close to lansing have al.
ready answered.
I'VE hope II possible to get some
data by which we may be able to start
a sort Of colonization system which
may eventually relieve the farm labor
market.
so far we have found that day farm
labor Is what Is scarce. On the other
hand. we have reports from some Sec
tions which show that there are many
farms-large ones which nre only par
tally cultivated.
"Our plan is to have the owners Of
those large farms cut them up into
small parts and put on them Hun
garians and other foreigners who are
natural born farmers. Give them space
enough to live on and raise enough
for their own needs and ut the same
time guarantee them certain amount
of day work in the vicinity. We think
In this way we car relieve the prob
lem Of day farm la,nr"

The authorities at jackson are
SO pions that they regard it as u
sin for the people to look upon the
animals at the Zoo on Sunday and
have ordered all cages covered OH
that day. Commenting upon this
freakish action Jackson paper
gets off the following,
The City commissioners may
have legal authority to place
curtains around the cages in the
municipal ZOO in order to prevent
persons from gazing at. the
animals on Sunday. We would
not for moment question the
right of the city officials to adopt
such rules and regulations for the
government of human beings on
Sunday as they may see fit. But
how about the animals? We can
keep mere men from standing on
the outside looking in, but have we,
the right to prevent the monkey
from on the inside looking out?
Man-made laws for the government
of mankind. but there is nothing
ON the statute books iustifying
their application to monkeys.
Insofar US our observation goes,
these monkeys in the ZOO find just
as much amusement looking at
men, as men find in looking at
monkeys.
We are compelled, therefore, to
consider the monkeys viewpoint.
His life, habits, inclinations and
desires are not Circumscribed by
any religious creed or code of
morals adopted by the genus homo.
Therefore, if it his desire that his
cage be left open seven days in the
week, in order that he may observe
the antics of humanity, it strikes
us that it would be a rank injustice
to deny him that privilege.
