GRECIAN PREMIER
 OUTLINES POLICY

Rome, August 1S.-(Via Paris, 5 D. m) Advices of a confidential nature received here from Athens outline what Is de- clared to be the policy decided on by former Premier Venizelos. who has been asked by King Constantine to form a cabinet and has announced his readiness to do so. The outline Is substantially as follows:
 Venizelos affrms that he has no pre- conceived bias against the central em- pres. What he wishes to achieve. the advices state, is the union of all Greek territories, which in his view is only ob- tainable now by fighting Turkey.
 Accomplishment of Greek aspirations by cooperation with the entente allies, would, in the view of M. venizelos as outlined from Athens, have been easier before Italy entered the war because of the occupation by Italy of Aegean Is- lands claimed by Greece and now further complicated by Greek expansion in Epirus, in southern Albania, thus arous- ing Italian jealousy.
 M. Venizelos, it is declared, may con- sent to territorial concessions in the Bal hans on the condition that Greece main- tain a predominant position in the penin- sula, but her participation with the en- tente allies now implies greater de- mand, in the represented view of M Venizelos, since Austro-German successes augment the value of her intervention.

ALL EDUCATIONAL
 INSTITUTIONS WILL
 BE TAKEN CARE OF
Henderson Assures Appro- priatiOn Committee That State Has Money to
 Maintain Schools
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, August 1S.-(Special.) Governor Henderson this morning assured members of the house committee on ap- propriations that the state would main tain all the educational institutions If the commonwealth, but until he YVES assured that the treasury would not be rendered bare, he would not approve bills providing money for extensions and new buildings.
 In accordance with The Age-Herald story of some mornings ago, the appro- priation committee, needing the ad of Speaker Carmichael and other con- seryative leaders, conferred with the gov
 ernor before Reporting favorably the
 heavy appropria tion bills enacted by the senate. And, by way of confirming an- other Age-Herald story. the governor in- formed the committee that he would keep the faith with the people, that is that he would abide by his pre-eiection prom 1ses not to appropriate money with which the treasury was not possessed
 The appropriations committee was with the chief executive for several hours, and while the conference was behind closed doors, it is understood that all pending bills carrying large and unusual ;tppro- prations were rehearsed in detail As b
 remembered, the senate some days ago passed a bill appropriasin3 s50o,000 Iii the interest of common schools, $l50000 in ex- cess of the sum requested, Dill appropr- atng in favor of the Alabama Polytechni- cal institute $350,00, and a bill appropriat- ing in the interest of the University of Ala pama S170,000. Later. bill approprating Sl05,000 for the Girls Industrial school a- Monteyallo was enacted, and provis.oc has been made for the care of the nine normal colleges Another iarse dppro- priation bill would give l)s the upkeep and erection of common school build ings s16i,000.
 AS result of the conference it is be- lieved that certain reductions ,yill be
 made in each of these bills and in cense- quence of the thorough understanding ex- istng between the committee and the chief executive. that each of the meas l ures will be passed without much ado. Governor Henderson impressed on the members of the committee that educa-i on had no better friend in the world than he, but that he thought 1t little hort of folly to appropriate money which cannot be delivered
 It is understood that he laGghingly re- marked that while he would do to the ex- tent of his ability for the cause of educa- ton, that he did not think it necessary that he fill severa, campuses with Hen derson halls.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Sees Danger In Picture Theatre

TO the Edltor of The Age Herald:
 We who live in Birmingham have not
 forgotten the Steele-Smith tragedy and
 the Birmingham Railway, Light and Iower company fire Is still fresh in our minds. When one of these moving picture houses burns up and cremates 30 or 70 people, the papers will again
 be full of investigations" and the like. The conditions obtaining at one of these. theatres last night between the hours or and S:S0 should be stopped. The racking and tanning and examining of human beings into a place of amuse- ment such was witnessed by the writer last night can almost be called criminal neglect This place was pack so to its capacity, as regards actual seats. The back part of the house was filled 10 the extent that a person having seen the show could hardly get out. 4 conservative estimate of the people standing in the theatre, unseated. was loo, and there was fully 25 more on the sidewalk on the Second avenue side. The exits of this theatre are inade- quate to an extent that is pitful, should anything happen. Persons in the bal cony would have as much chance of of escaping a German submarine. Is there not some remedy for this state of affairs? Investigations and condo fences do not bring people back to life. l"l told you sos" does not feed widows and orphans. Yours truly,

''Women give the best results as clerks from an efficiency standpoint" says superintendent of the Equitable Life As- surance society.
 Women are more regular, more quiet, they mind their own business better" says clothing manufacturer who em- ploys several hundred of them.
 But, it seems that very few agree that women should have the same pay as men.
 Why?
 There is no reason why this is so, and absolutely no justice in the fact, but so 1t is, and the fact will remain until the women themselves demand equal pay.
 New York women, after a desperate fight were able to get equal pay for teachers In a few states equal pay is given for equal work in other lines. but in the majority of cases the women must take less and fill a mans size job.
 However, when a woman enters the eco homie field and works in competition with ner of humiliation to outwit her competi- tor and get the business.
 Mans chivalry is a secondary consd- eration when he realizes the woman is in competition with him.
 Many women in Alabama have entered the fields of work seldom invaded by women. And the following from the New Orleans Times-Picayune will show how diverse are the industries attempted suc- cessfully in that city:
 There is a woman butcher in New Or leans according to Miss Augusta Cor don, who made the compilation. A wom- ait lumber dealer. women florists, truck and chicken growers, darywomen, opti- clans, boolSbinders and book shop proprie- tors printers, designers and illustrators, bill collectors, plantation owners and su- pervsors, lumber dealers. architects and draughtsmen, photographers box and cigar factory owners, woman in the de- partment of public works (not a stenog- rapher), a marble yard owner, a black smith and plasterer, wheelright and an automobile dealer, and several jitney drivers.

One woman found a certain locality was in need of gasoline supplies so she set up her place of business close by to catch the trade, and
  directors and embalmers are among the women now. A steamer and a schooner have their women captains, and the real estate and insurance fields have been invaded by women.
 4 fortune was made by one woman in tabasco sauce, and this same woman is how promoting a business expected to net several fortunes. The Board of Trade in New Orleans has a woman member, one who took her fathers place upon his death She, southern girl-indulged and an only child--tock the business where he had left it and made success of it. woman keeps the lighthouse on the lake a few miles from the city.

 Tn order to allay all doubt" said Mr. Burr this morning, "I would, were a candidate. temporarily retire from the field. The morning on which the announcement of my retirement was rinted. I would take means to com ply with the law and the following morning would again announce myself "a candidate.
 The committee which prepared the new elect on laws believed that it was proceeding in course which would eliminate many of the unpleasant fea- lures which have characterized elee- tions held in this state. It is unfor- tunate that the laws have not been thoroughly distributed, and that the people generally have not been informed of their provisions in detail.'
 And thus it may happen that Bir- mingnam will be astounded in the near future by promiscuous retirement of candidates from various races, and their immediate re-entrance. For such seems to be the demand of modern red tape" statutes framed for the purpose of fur thering the great uplift."

Montgomery, August 1s.-(Special) 1.-The various candidates in Birmingham and Jefferson county who have announced themselves as candidates through cards and informal expressions. had better tenn porarily, for day perhaps, retire and before announcing again, comply wiih the provisions of the so-calleG corrupt practice act.
 At any rate, the above is the opinion of Borden Burr of Birmingham, who as chairman of the subcommittee of the state democratic executive committee, framed new series of election laws which are guaranteed to make every elec- tor white snow.
