They work in the cotton mill: while this Is profitable to the state, 1t does not provide the women with any means of earning an honest living after their discharge. Not single cotton mill in the south employs negro labor, except one owned by ne- groes in the Yazoo delta.
 These women could be trained into excellent household servants if they were instructed for several afternoons each week in fine laundry, sewing, cooking, house cleaning. They should be under the charge of woman trained to the work of caring for de- linquents, firm vet kind.

BURNETT WRITS ON
 COTTON EMBARGO

Congressman John L. Burnett of the Seventh Alabama district has written the President as follows:
 The President, White House, Wash ington. D. c.
 Dear MT. President: desire to record my most earnest protest against the unjustifiable action of England in holding up American cotton being shipped on neutral vessels to neutral ports It has already caused consid- erable decline in the price of our cot ton. If they will not discontinue the action that they have been taking. I fear an embargo on the shipment of arms and ammunition from America to England. If an extra session of Con- gross Is necessary to take action in this matter, I very much favor such extra session. Yours very truly,
 JOHN L. BURNETT"
 In response to an inquiry of a New York newspaper on the subject MT. Burnett replied as follows:
 Telegr received. Sentiment of our people favors stopping shipment of munitions of war from America un- less England stops holding up cotton and ether noncontraband products of our country destined to neutral ports. l strongly favor taking such action, and if extra session of Congress Is necessary, I hope the President will call It. I have so written the Pres tdent and the Secretary of State.

 Data on Bills
 "The bill curing some 10 or 15 defects in the municipal code has been agreed on by the Jefferson delegation and will pass without opposition.
 "But there are several bills pending of great importance to Birmingham which will be thrashed out in the legislature next week.
 Among these bills is the bill reported by Chairman Weakley's committee limit ing the city's license on waterworks and street car companies to 1 per cent of the gross receipts.
 "The financial condition of the city Is such that it Is hoped this blow may be averted. although MT. Weakley has se- cured its favorable report to the house.
 "Of even greater importance Is the bill to decrease the taxes paid by the city to the county, about s9O00O0 year.
 ''The city contends that 1t Is stripped ot more than this amount each year for use on the county roads and bridges out side of Birmingham. and that in addition thereto the citys police force, which is maintained at a large annual expense, makes many arrests for state offenses and arrests in the county outside of Bir- mingham, as well as in Birmingham, for state offenses, and its detectives are fre- quently employed on train robberies or other state offenses committed outside of the city of Birmingham. Therefore, the city's police force should be treated as a kind of metropolitan force or a county constabuary, and all of Its expense should not be borne by the taxpayers of the city out of city funds.
 'The county replies that 1t is main taining without assistance from the city such public institutions as the IIillman hospital. but this contention of the county Is misleading, inasmuch as two-thirds of the countys revenue is paid by Brming- ham property. The county outside of Birmingham, in fact, only contributes about one-third of the, total expense of keeping up such county institutions as the Hillman hospital.
 Borne Drain for Years ''The city has borne these drains and burdens of the county for years. during which time its bonded indebtedness has rapidly increased, and the time has come when such large sums of money raised on

Habits of Plants

From the London Chronicle.
 Experiments conducted by Prof. J. c. Bose of the British Royal Society of Medicine, have brought to light some in- teresting information concerning the hab- its of plants His investigations con- vinced him, for instance. that points do not, as is generally believed. Ego to sleep in the evening. Their slumbers. on the contrary, are deferred until after midnight. At that hour, he found. plants fall gradually asleep to awake not earlier than o'clock in the morning. Nor are they completely awake even then, for It Is high noon before they respond promptly enough to Professor Bose's tests to prove that their hours of rest are at an end. The same series of experiments proved, too, that their vitality Is at lowest ebb in the early morning.
 Tests were made to determine the ac- ton of drugs on various plants and these resulted in proving that they respond both to those of stimulating effect and to those of depressing effect. The mimosa or sensitive plant. was the most re- sponsive subject among those submitted
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-18

Birmingham property should not be di- verted from the city treasury. This bill Is meeting with 8 most favorable reception from many members.
 Another bill which may be of very great importance Is the bill which has house, providing for the condemnation of the property of the Birmingham Water works company, upon the payment of a fair value therefor.
 Should the city and the wsterworks company be able to agree on price un- der the arbitration provided for in the recent compromise contract made between the city and the water company, the con- demnation bill will not be necessary, but should the appraisal of the waterworks companys property be unreasonably high, the city would have the reserve power under certain contingences if the con- demnation bill passes, to take over the property of the waterworks company at its fair value.
 ''The waterworks condemnation bill is being opposed by Representative Weak ley and he may be able to encompass it's defeat but the public has the right, un- der existing laws, to condemn any pri- vate individuals property for public use, upon paying a reasonable value therefor, and 1t is an unfair discrimination to ex- empt the property of the Birmingham Waterworks company from the state jaws authorizing the condemnation of property for public use and providing for the payment of the reasonable value the~cof.
 The bill for permanent relief will prob ably come up for hearing about the mid dle of the week, and large delegation is expected to go to Montgomery to in sure it's passage. If 1t Is defeated, it would leave the affairs of the city of Birmingham in a chaotic condition and the future dark and cloudy.
 There are two or three other bills of considerable importance to Birming- ham pending in the legislature to be heard in the next few days, so that the next week or 10 days will be history mak- ing one for the city of Birmingham in the Alabama legislature"
