WHY SHE PREFERS
 MORNING PAPER
By SAMUEL GROSS

I prefer to read a morning newspaper for the following reasons:
 1. It gives the news of the preceding afternoon and night before it gets stale and while 1t is still fresh with the dew of interest.
 ?. One usually reads a morning paper before or at the breakfast table, on the car en route to town or in the office. while the mind Is still buoyant and eager for the news impressions of the day. The news and ads as result, make a more lasting impress than those seen in an afternoon paper after the toll of the day has dulled the edge of understanding.
 B. A morning paper is essentially a paper for the more intelligent--a jour- nal for the family as well as for the office and store. As result, it places emphasis not on sensational rubbish from the news gutters, but on the up- to-the- minute things in fashion, so- ciety. home news finance and sports
 4. Last, but not least, a morning journal, as it appeals to the brain as yet unruffled by the toll of day, is essentially an optimist, full of happi- ness and good cheer.

LAUDS MORNING
 PAPER IN VERSE
By MRS. JACK CLAY 213O Avenue C, Bessemer

When hubby came home and said, 'I have
 subscribed my dear, To The Age-Herald for you for the coming
 year, Of course I hastily said. you know I'm
 too busy to read In the morning; besides there's other
 things we need.' He said, ''Wifey, that may all be very
 true, But pretty girl asked me, and-a-a-what
 could do?" And as all good wives really do readily excused him. all married men
 know that's true, That's the beginning, so the end let me
 tell, And for such a beginning, it ended mighty
 well. The next morning with pencil and paper
 I sat down To make my list for shopping before I
 went to town, And as I wrote, hat, suit, waist, purse
 and shoes thought 'tis enough to give anyone the
 blues To have so many things to buy all in a
 day And a certain amount of money with
 which to pay, To know just when and where to go To get them best and cheapest, don't you
 know. Glancing up I saw the morning news, Turning to the ads I soon dispelled the
 blues For in the paper were all the things I
 had on my list And at such prices I couldn't afford to
 miss, And while each place in my mind was
 fresh to town I went And better day shopping I never spent, l bought all I needed with my money in
 half day, And had enough left for lunch car fare
 and a matinee And now this little tale I've told to you rake morning paper, and see what
 you can do. It has been such help to me, I'm going
 to send For Xmas years subscription to a busy

 If person is seen In shiney black mourning garments we know she is not dressed correctly, because one of the best fashion sections of the south has made it plain that lustreless black is correct for mourning garments
 I like the daily fashion section for I can sit and rest while I read and see something that is pretty and stylish and keep abreast from day to day with the best in styles of all garments that are worn from the shoe--thc sole Of the foot-to the hat-the crown of the head.
 I have not written this mainly to se- cure the prize of s10, but because 1 wished to let the editor and others who are advocating the fashion section ot The Age-Herald that there Is a wom- an many miles away from their great city who reads this and enjoys 1t and thanks those in charge for making 1t possible for her to have this section.
 All good wishes for the fashion sec. tion and long may it live.

WHY I PREFER
 MORNING PAPER
By MISS IDA THOMAS
1124 south Twenty-third Street

prefer to read morning paper be- cause it informs one of the latest news and prepares one for the topics of con- versation that are sure to arise among the friends one associates with during the day.
 Let anyone go out to any social func- ton in the afternoon-in fact anywhere without having read the morning paper and let someone bring up a subject seen in that paper. The person who has neg lected to read the news of the day is entirely out of things, and there is no more embarrassing thing than to have to reply, ''I have not read the paper this morning. Even though you have read last nights papers that news Is stale by the time the morning paper has gone to press.
 Then, l like to see the morning paper for the list of the movies" that are to be given at the local theatres for the day. In this day and age when the silent drama is so popular it is no disgrace to be movie crazy and so do not hesi- tate to say that watch The Age-Her- aids Events of the Day. each morning for the list of photoplays. The evening papers give movie programmes, too, but of late have found that the programmes are not accurate, as after the evening papers have gone to press the schedule for maybe several of the movie" houses is often changed
 Another thing, which, however, is of rather little significance, but still req son, I always like to read in The Age Herald's social column of the party that am perhaps going to that day. to be sure it has not been called off and to impress on my mind the hour. This reason is. of course small one, as have said and yet there are a number of parties to which I would have gone un- conscious df I had not seen the morn- ing paper) of the fact that they had been called off on account of sickness sometimes death
 There is only one thing that I could wish for in the morning paper, and that is better advertising of the stores-of the sales for the day. However, if The Age Herald Keeps up the fashion section which it has just inaugurated even if on a smaller and less elaborate scale--every desire will have been fulfilled.
 In this article I am speaking only of the weekday editions of the morning paper. In the Sunday morning paper one gets everything that the weekday papers have and much more-much foreign news, arr ticles on foreign life. comic section, a Bill Vines article, Rotogravure Section the pictures of which are beautiful enough to frame, and very full and interesting sporting sheet which gives to the men in one paper all they have read during the entire foregoing week. If the week. day morning papefs are invaluable to a persons enlightenment, the Sunday paper is just twice as much so,

While the world was sleeping in the early hours of this morning the craftsmen of the press, from the reporter to the man at the wire, were giving us the last word in news.

Reading your offer of prize of $10 for the best letter on Why I Like the Fashion Section of The Age-Her- ald.'' I am writing why like 1t.
 I do not know if this offer holds good for those living out of Birming- ham or not, but at any rate I will write even if no one ever reads my req sons but the editor of the fashion sec tion.
 The editor will know that those liv- ing out of a city enjoy reading tho fashion sectoin and are benefited by it..
 I am the mother of several daugh- ters. They and I are always well and stylishly dressed. I owe this to the reading of the fashion section. If did not take an interest in and read this section. living several miles from a town as I do, fear we would resemble somewhat the ancient Mrs Noah or some of the ridiculous danes and lsssies of the Goodys Ladies' books. An aunt of mine living in large city once remarked upon me and my daughters appearances and wondered that living out from city as we do that we were correctly groomed and gowned.
 My answer was that l was regular read of the fashion section of The Age Herald and other fashion plates.
 I believe. though, the fashion sec tion of The Age Herald is the best of it's kind. Take, for instance, the fash ions of the past few weeks What are any better than the styles of shoes, coats. cloaks, hats. dresses both for street and evening wear than those that have been shown in the fashion section of The Age-Herald taken from the up-to-date establishments of Love- man. Joseph & Loeb. Louis Pizitz. Ca- keen Brothers Lightfoot Cloak and Suit company, Drennen Co. Goldstein Brothers and Ideal Millinery company. and others too numerous to mention.
 After reading the fashion section of The Age Herald I can see what line of goods the above named stores carry and can go in person or order exactly what I want and feel perfectly satis fed.
 There are so many reasons why I like the fashion section of The Age Herald. I hesitate which to put in words
 like it because it gives the best In both style and material used.

 it is very essential that a person be well versed in the latest ideas of dress. In fact to be good conversationalist, this Is one thing that will put you in good" right away At least I find it so for in dealing with my customers, I find it easy to interest different customers along the different and distinctive lines of con versation-they may be individually inter ested in.
 Now. I find that may interest a male customer along topics such as business, some on war and still other more
 sporty ones on the topics of football
 or baseball. But I don't think 1 havs found a subject more fitting. or to make a lady customer more willing to indulge in conversation with mt than the discus sion of ladies fashions, when she finds that I can talk ntelllgently on thest things, I have found this to be fact and consequently I keep myself posted on styles.
 Now. I haven't stated before that 1 sell boys furnishings. I do, and in this line l come in contact more with the mothers of boys than with the fathers. so I have to specialize, with the la dies and their ideas.
 These are a number of facts why have
 become interested in Tho Age-Herald

 public should and will take interest in the fashion section.
 person looks to their bible for spir- tual solace, to their cook book for the
 best recipes for viands they want td coneoct, and why shouldn't they look to their paper for the most exact de- piction of tho latest In styles. Ladies in Birmingham, and all over the south, rely on eastern published magazines for their ideas in style and now they eer- tainly should and I believe they will take notice of this section, which will show them authoritatively the new things they should wear. It should be-, if for no other reason. an enthusiastic feeling of home superiority that would make the readers of The Age-Herald take an interest in and boost the fashion section. This is not the real idea, for the readers of your paper cannot but realize the au- thority of your illustrations, and upon thought the idea that The Age-Herald must be able to speak automatically on stlye due to their dealing with all the Birmingham firms. These transactions between outfitter and Age-Herald must be recognized putting them wise'' to the best in styles, for if any of the style shops or modistes of Paris have anything on Birmingham In the way of hobby, dressy and good looking apparel, they certainly are going some" I say again, think your fashion section a good thing and I wish you success in it's continuance.

 IN TUSCALOOSA
Fly MRS. w. A. COLLIER
 Tuscaloosa. Ala.

The semi-annuai fashion section of the Age-Herald Is a boon to the country reader of this great daily who is eager to know the latest in styles and where to go to find it. She does her shopping largely in Birmingham, but the schedules are close; her time is limited but this is of no consequence since she has been provided with minute descrip- ton of garments for every occasion. with hats and novelties, in the Age-Hera,d and has been instructed where to go to find such articles.
 Before the fashion section was adopted, the woman from the country or near by town went to Birmingham without the slightest idea as to what she wanted or where she would do her shopping and the day was lost in looking about aim lessly. But not so now. She has re- ceived her Age-Herald and in the quie- tude of her home, she. has made study of it's pages, cleaning therefrom such styles as would be suited for her needs. learned through its pages where to shop, how to shop and for what prices hers clothes could be procured and then in systematic way she goes to Birmingham, purchases her garments and returns home with the satisfaction of knowing that her wants have been supplied and that through the courtesy of the Age-Herald and it's fashion section she has received the very same service that her city sis- ters have enjoyed.
 A morning paper is the paper for 8 woman any way. After her routine lahors have ended. there is quiet time before dinner to read when the children are in school. the servants at work. Tho bargains for the day are gleaned, the club meetings are noted the social news read, the general outline for the day is found in a morning paper read at leis- ure and as far as 90 per cent of women are concerned, the news of the day is closed when the morning paper Is read Evening papers are frequently late. the weather often too severe to venture out for paper, the family gathers for so- cial intercourse and resent even breath of the outside world through the press. the children have lessons and the evening paper proves a distraction. In short, The Age-Herald is the paper for women and the paper for me. It's fashion section. spring and .fall. is an index into proper styles and it's appearance Is ever welcome into the homes of its suberban readers. From woman's point of view it rather "gives us styles and prices than liberty or death, So keep the good work up and give us the fashion section of The Age-Herald semi-annually.

There are several reasons why pre- fer a morning paper It seems to me no one is really equipped for the day without reading morning paper. Every man and woman of the twentieth century should read some live, up-to- date morning paper, so we may know how the world goes today. What good general going to battle does not first read careful account of everything on the morning of that day?

WHY TT APPEALS TO
 GENERAL PUBLIC
By LUCY G. FRANKLIN 1915 Twelfth Avenue. south

There are various why's" that the fashion section of The Age-Herald ap- peals to the general public. especially the feminine side, as you know all women are eager to glance into any paper or book whose pages contain an artistic dis play of the present and coming seasons. 1t Is a treat to the women of Birmingham to have a paper whose editor is thought fui enough to interest them in this way. Thousands of women are seeking the fashions every day, and it is convenient to have paper to direct them to the store that carries the styles they are particularly interested in. It also saves time for the customer and the salesman, for if you have picture of the suit. hat or shoes you like and know the store that carries them, it is easier to shop l hope you will be able to supply us with the fashion section more often
