 Aside from my experience and what ever fitness I might possess for the office as an excuse for running, there are cer- tain things, if elected. l shall use my best efforts to do. For instance. favor the restoration of free collection of gar haze by the city and in restoring not only most of the street lights which have been discontinued but increasing the num- ber; the elimination of tuition charges of every character in the public schools; the increasing of the police department to at least 200 men and establishing sub stations in many sections of the city; increasing the fire department sufficiently to place the entire city on first-class basis; continuation and expansion of the welfare and playgrounds departments; en- largement and extension of the library system; lending of all aid in the power of the city to deserving charities. such as the Mercy Home, Anti-Tuberculosls asso- citation, Jefferson County Orphanage and others; extending paving system so as to connect the entire city; encouraging in- dustries already established and others to locate here; municipal auditorium; en- larging meteorological department. so as to provide for inspection of milk and all food products sold in city; and as munich pal ownership is the settled policy of the city, I believe in the immediate ac- quirement by the city of waterworks system and forever eliminate this ques- tion. at least as a political issue, and I stand for law and order and decency In Birmingham.
 All of these things I stand. for and am committed to.n

Talks With

Dear Miss Carothers-I should like
to see Z little more discussion on the
subject Of Correspondence clubs" as
brought up by one Of your questioners.
1 certainly know nothing about it, but
have friend who met her husband
in this way, and she 10 certainly hap
PLY married, about three years ago.
Out OF difference to public opinion, she
has kept the facts . secret. Now,
dislike the evasion that this entails, 50
would like to know II this is not
solution to the problem for many single
people OF mature years, who have out
grown, or grown away from their en-.
vironment. There must be a million
of us-and how are we to meet9 - s. ,
l have refused two men In the last
month because-well, because I could
not accept either OF them, and yet
am not averse to marriage. The way
my life is ordered, meet 50 few mar
riageable men of near my own age.
And know there are men who have
allowed themselves to drift into the
same condition. L. A. B.
should think two offers Of mar
riage In a month would mean plenty
Of opportunity to meet 'marriage4blA
men," always supposed the clubs
you speak of were patronized by very
young and very silly persons. I can
not conceive of any sensible woman
resorting to such means Of making
acquaintances, after she has reached
mature age. The fact that one
marriage has turned out happily IL
probably the exception that proves
the rule.

- I'LL soon will come those awful
days,
So clear In every vision,
When housewifery in varied ways
Will hold our comfort in derision.
Again, no doubt, we'll dine alone
On Yesterdays cold storage rations
And sleep on floors as hard as stone
That bring nightmareish alterations
Again all loving, wifely ties
Will lapse. and we will be requested
At seven-thirty to arise
And go-where we're more inter-
ested.
Already we almost perceive
Tward suicide dangerous leaning.
For those are days that vex and
grieve,
When comes around tho spring

Good For May Flowers

TT was an April day. The sun
shone, the birds twittered and all
nature seemed joyous. On q
crowded street car was a young man
of twenty-five with long hair and
poetic countenance He was dressed
from top to toe. in his new spring
suit, and dozen different passengers
decided that it was of the latest cut
and fitted like glove.
Suddenly this poetic young man
looked out Of the window and unused
to himself:
ooh, April. Month of tears and sun
shine. One hour the tears fall, and
the next the sun bursts forth to kiss
them away. But for the tears and
sunshine there would be no May
flowers .

mis- remark smiled to themselves, but
the man beside him quietly asked:
''Is there any cash In it
"Sir, I am not q poet for cash. but
for love Of the beautiful"
They both got up at the same time
to leave the car, and the rain poured
down in deluge. and he had no
umbrella AS he made for the curb
stone, his gay outfit like wet rag, the
other shouted after him from the plat
form:
