BARBER'SSCHEMET ID A|DTHE UNEMPLOYE HAS STRUCK A SNAG Feagin Points Out That To Convict a Man of LOiter-
 ing Disfranchises
 Him

The proposed plan of Commissioner Barber in reference to men out of em- ployment pleading guilty in the recorders s court to a charge of lettering and re- ceiving sentence to work for the city in return for their food and lodging has struck a decided snag. Judge N. B. Fea- gin called the commissioners attention to the fact that if a man is convicted of lettering or vagrancy he is disqualified as a voter in this state.
 Judge Feagin is recognized authority on questions of social service and well fare work, as well as a well informed jurist. He served for many years as judge of the police court of the city and during that time instituted many re- forms in dealing with juveniles and petty offenders. He stated that the present era was witnessing the greatest reform movement ever started to rid the coun- try of the abuses of the present prison system and treatment of prisoners, which he stated were the relics of the system in vogue in the sixteenth century. He has also taken great interest in the social conditions of the city and for this req son addressed the letter below to Com missioner Barber, who told Judge Feagin that he threw out the suggestion in or der to bring about discussion pro and con of the question of dealing with the unemployed. The letter follows:
 JUDGE FEAGIN'S LETTER "Decemper 20. 1915. .Hon. Arlie Barber, Commissioner. City. S'Dear Sir: I see from the morning ! iper that you desire to give work to [ .e unemployed by letting them go before tAe recorder and plead guilty of loiter- ing. With the best motives for our citi- zens out of work, I feel sure that you would not rob them of their right to vote by having any of them plead guilty of lettering in the police court and serv- ing a sentence on the streets. receiving payment in food and lodging.
 The constitution of the state or Ala bama, section 1S2, reads as follows:
 q The following persons shall be dis . qualified both from registering and from voting. Any person who shall be con- victed as vagrant or tramp.
 Section ISIS of the code of Alabama declares the following described per- | Sons are vagrants. Subdivision No. 8: Anx bodied person having no prop erty sufficient for his support, who loafs. lciters, or idles in any city, town. village, or upon the public highway, or about a steamboat landing, or any place where Intoxicating liquors is sold without regu- lar employment
 "Woula it not be better and meet the ends you propose by passing resolu- ton somewhat as follows:
 Be it resolved by the city of Birming- ham, That any able-bodied person who is out of employment and having no prop erty sufficient for his support and de- sires to work and labor for the city of
 Birmingham, shall be allowed 50 cents

There is an art in washing windows
and If they are properly polished the
operation need not be repeated for
long time. A really good polish will
survive several transforms and will
only require the dust to be removed

inside OF the windows should be
washed with tepid water, without soap
or powder of any kind. rubbed dry
with chamois and polished with cheese
cloth. A solution for cleaning the out
side should be made from one ounce
of pulverized whiting, one ounce of

surface dirt, and apply the solution
with a soft cloth. Let this dry on.
