rest room on the occasion above men toned.
 q desire to add my stamp of approval upon the movement to establish unoer the auspices of the Equal Suffrage asso- citation rest room in the courthouse TOT the benefit of women who are com pelled to frequent this public building, but I wish to state that it will not be the first rest room to be established in a. courthouse in Alabama as announced ln your article In the Tuscaloosa court house there has been a large, we'll equipped rest room for some years, and it has indeed been a boon to women. We have sanitary cots, clean baby peds' toilet conveniences, comfortable furni- ture, attractive wall decorations, current magazines, etc, in connection with our rest room, which was established under the auspices of the Civic Improvement society and maintained by this organiza- tion There Is provided a competent maid who in addition to caring for the rest room, has supervision over the little chil- dren left in her care, and & prominent member of the Civic Improvement society visits the rest room daily and sees that it is always in sanitary condition. A large number of Birmingham women have enjoyed the privileges of the Tusca- loosa rest room and could, and no doubt would be very glad, to tell you Of It's success An Age-Herald reporter, Miss Flora Milner Harrison. has visited our rest room, and in an article of some months back set forth the advantages and importance of this phase of civic work. and it would give us exceeding great pleasure to have you come to Tus- caloosa in an official capacity and review the work and the genuine good accom- pHshed by the rest room in the Tus- caloosa courthouse where cordial well come and maids attention is at the dis posal of all visitors"

What the Traveller Gets

Kathleen Hills in Leslie's.
 To few thoughtless persons 1t is . strange fact that the railroads should charge 2 cents a mile for the transpor- tation of a passenger while ton of freight, equal in weight to six passen- gers, Is carried for the extremely low average rate of mills per mile One can scarcely realize how little mills is for there Is no American money made of this small denomination.
 There is much greater profit In carrying ton of freight at this inconsiderable figure than in carrying the equivalent in passengers. for a ton of freight needs no free ice water, electric fans, electric lights. lavatories, matrons, messengers, etc., a 5000 car for the free transporta- ton of baggage, with men to handle 1t, and there Is less responsibility in haul ing freight than in carrying human ings. Freight can get along without sumutuous depots and magnificent ter minals. A $500 box car will hold 60 tons of freight, whereas a S1O,00O passenger coach will carry only four tons of peo- ple.
 Foreigners who come to this country are amazed at the degree of luxury the American travelling public demands and receives for half of what is charged in some parts of Europe. We pay 2 cents a mile to travel in comfortable steel day coaches as compared with the stuffy lit- tie wooden cars of Europe, where ETA cents per mile Is charged in Germany, 8.4S cents in France, 360 cents in Italy and 4.70 cents in the United Kingdom. One who prefers a suburban life away from the noise, smoke and grime of the city. can live in the rural districts with in easy access of the city where his or her business is located, and pay no more for transportation than many who live in the city spend daily on oarfare.

The Birmingham Equal Suffrage as- sociatioll several weeks ago appointed committee to meet the board of revenue relative to the establishment of a rest room for women in the Jefferson county courthouse The crowded condition of the courthouse at present made this rest room impossible, although President Me- Geever was heartily in sympathy with the movement and offered to even par tition off any hall end that might be util- ized.
 The matter is under the consideration of & committee from the association and if this is found possible and feas- ible. such a temporary room will be es- tablished at once until something better can be gotten.
 The following interesting notice has come from the Tuscaloosa Civic Improve ment society of rest room established in their courthouse.
 During the Alabama Equal Suffrage convention held in Tuscaloosa last year. this room was visited and frequently used by the delegates.
 Mrs. w. S. Fits, president of the Civic Improvement society of Tuscaloosa has the following to say of the work of the society relative to the rest room.
 We desire to correct Mrs. Fits, how ever, in one particular, the article re- ferred to by Mrs. Fits did not state the proposed rest room in Birmingham would be the first room of the kind established in Alabama. as the writer of said article had visited the Tuscaloosa courthouse

 mentals of parliamentary law. Single admissions may be had at the door, at
 any of the meetings. but as the price is
 only $1 for the four lessons the entire course is within reach of everybody. 1 The mere mention of parliamentary procedure is irritating to some groups of people; but this emanates from mis- understanding of what it's real basis Is.
 To allow any individual in a deliberative
 assemblage to do what he or she pleases is not compatible with the interests of
 the whole. It is necessary that every society religious, political literary, benevolent or scientific. be guided by some sort of system in conducting its business, for to depend upon the caprice of the presiding officer or the conflicting desires of the individual members results in chaos and in lack of efficiency
 Both men and women have expressed an intention of taking advantage Of Gen eral Roberts lessons, for 1t is not only q rare opportunity, but one rot likely to occur again

The meeting at Cable hall tonight will be addressed by Commissioner Barber. Those who have had the pleasure of hearing him speak are charmed by his sincerity, his poise and force. and will welcome this opportunity of listening to what he has to say as to how the women of the city can cooperate with him for good government. MT. Barber is con sistent believer in votes for women, and he knows that a direct voice in govern mental affairs is the effective way for women's opinions to be translacted into action; but, meantime, if there is any antis claim is all that is necessary for women to have), the suffragists are will ing and anxious to exert it in behalf of their city.
 Another feature of the meeting will be the anti-suffrage monologue by Miss Amelia Worthington. This amusing satire is one of the cleverest things &he suf- frage propagandists have done, and Miss Worthington fnterprets it delightfully."-.
 Everybody is invited tonight at 8 o'clock, especially those persons who still doubt the wisdom of equal suffrage.

dental districts last night until long

who make bold during the day and
early night to come into the city and
make surly demand for eataoles. In
not a few cases have reports been
made of the extreme incivility of the
Wearies, and it is the purpose of the
officers to put a stop to that sort of
thing If it can be done.
Some of the reports have 1t that the
tramps. upon being given food at the
back door of residences, become real
abusive and almost insulting. There
are numerous stragglers reported in
the residential districts, this being es-
pecially true in the northeastern part
Of the city, and they were searched
for as stated, until after midnight.

Constituencies
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Laredo, Tex, Jan. 8.-An attack on
Villa troops in Saltillo was begun by
about $1,000 constitutionalist troops
about O'clock this morning. Early
reports from the battle said that hun
dreds already had been killed or
wounded. The Carranza forces were
attacking from mountains about the
city and were pouring in a fire from
fifteen cannon.
The Villa troops occupied SaltiIlo
two days ago by a ruse and without
a fight. The Carranza forces there,
under General Antonio /. Villareal,
had evacuated the city to proceed
against the Villa forces which they
met and defeated at La Brisa and
Marie. Meanwhile another Villa force
had marched through the mountains
to the southeast of SaltiI1o, entering
and capturing the city. The Carranza
army returned in force early today.
Reports at noon from Carranza
sources claimed that the advantage
lay with the besiegers but the battle
still was in progress.
