CARD SUBMITTED
ON BELGIAN WORK

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
AS one of the members of the Bel
gian relief committee I want TO say
that l think the criticisms of this UNI
dertaking would have been entirely
justifiable had our work for the poor
stopped there.
As a matter of fact every memoer of
that committee works to relieve the
suffering in Birmingham through one
or more of the following charitable
organizations The Mercy Home, the
Old Ladies' Home, the East Lake Or
nhan Asylum. the Girls Home at Wood
lawn and East Lake, the Boys club
the Y. W. c. a., the District Nurses
association, the Day Nursery or Neigh
borhood House, the Children's hospital
the tuberculosis camp, the free dispen-
sary, the auxiliary to the Associated
Charities and the Humane society, in
addition to the aid societies in every
church.
In carrying through this work fol
the homeless and starving Belgians
who are appealing to the world;
mercy, many instances of local suffer.
ing We're brought to our notice and ]
think ] voice the sentiments of every
worker in the cause when say that we
will gladly give as much to our own
sufferer in money, clothing and food
If those who do approve of helping this
Belgians will organize the same house
to house campaign.

submission to the states of a constitutional
amendment for national prohibition. This
has not been included in projected legis-

According to both majority leaders ap-
preparation bills will be rushed. Con.
seryation legislation, the ship purchase
blu and the House Philippine indepen-
dence bill are first on the programme OF
general legislation. Senator Kern as
serted after his talk with the President
chat there would be time for general
legislation concerning which there would
be not much opposition. In this class
he mentioned the Porto Rican citizenship
measure.
The opening sessions in House ant
Senate were marked with spirit of good
nature despite the recent campaign which
resulted in great republican gains In the
IIolse and slight democratic gains in the
Senate for the next Congress. Members
