Brigadier General C. R. Bricken. head Of the Alabama National Guard. ex- poets the President to issue a call for volunteers at an early date. General Brlcken stated that the Alabama Nation al Guard was ready to answer the sum- mons and would be capable of render ing good service within q very short time.
 We are just beginning the trouble in Mexico, and before many weeks. the en- tire regular army will have to 20 into the country to the south of us" de- clared General Bricken, who was in Birmingham last night. "It will be nee essary to have the National Guard serve Tn order to patrol the border, even if It should not be necessary to send any or them into Mexico. I think we arc in for long and tedious fight which may involve all the factions in Mexioo

 Presided over by Madame Husted, who is an artist from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes. the fashionable women of Birmingham were shown the most beautiful spring and summer ma terials ranging in quality and pride from the simplest to the most expensive, and in every color imaginable.
 Every variety of costume may be fash toned from the beautiful materials shown by Loveman, Joseph & Loeb in their dressmaking department, and Birlning- ham is highly appreciative of Madame Husteds ability and taste in designing and executing them.

call within a very few hours with 5000 men and could offer the war department 5000 men fairly well trained at the start, and capable of being most efficient fight CTS within ten days The National Guard is anxious to serve if needed, and every day am receiving letters and telegrams from the various officers assuring me that their commands will respond to a man.
 Whatever may be the result, I am certain that the preparedness movement and the danger of war which has con- fronted us for the past year or more will result in making the National Guard stronger and more efficient Instead of discouraging young men from entering the militia, as has frequently been the case in the past, the corporations and business interests of the country are anxious for. their employees to become affiliated with the guard. The Ameri- can people are so constituted that they will never have a standing army on the order of the great military estab- lishments of Europe, and we must there- fore build up the National Guard to pro- tect us from future foes.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric


 A bill which no doubt will prove enter taining will open at the matinee today and in addition to the big headliner. "Or the School Fairgrounds" there will be another feature act, the Seven Colonial Bellies. This act is one of ability and each of the seven girls is a musical gen. jus, There are six instrumentalists and one soloist in the company, and they pre- sent an act that is entirely unique and entertaining.
 Then there will be Fl Brendel and Mu- riel Morgan to entertain in addition to four other good acts. Thiessens dog nov city is an attraction that pleases young and old alike, and the dogs in this act perform tricks that are almost human. Medlin, Watts and Townes are singing and talking comedians, and they are said to be exceptionally clever entertainers Adams and Gilbert will entertain with a singing and terpsochorean novelty. The curtain at the matinee will go up prompt ly at 2:30 o'clock.

than for one of them. Inquire what they like best in literature and art of their taste in other things, and write of your
 own ambitions, and above all do not neg lect the correspondence If you begin to write, while the prisoners letters may
 be nothing to you, your letters will mean great deal to them. and failure to an- swer promptly or neglect of them may be means of making the good you have started total failure. The person may lose faith in the world, believing the new 1 friend had lost interest and faith in him. One girl know. with a very busy life, asked for the name of prisoner. When she wrote to him she found her letter was the first written word he had received from outside the prison in two years. Once during the time of writing she was interrupted by her busy life, and neglect ed to answer the letter as soon as ex- pected by the prisoner. Then came his humble but hungry query, why had he not heard? Were no more letters com ing to cheer him? You see, this small service on her part had meant life and hope to him.
 There are on the waiting list of the O. F. league 159 prisoners who are asking TOT correspondents; they are from the largest prisons in this country, and 75 more desire additional correspondents or nave been disappointed by those already writing to them.
 Any Alabama prisoners may join the
 league by sending their names to the Washington address or to the social ser vice department of The Age Herald In
 this state, too. may be man or woman
 behind the closed gate who is eager to hear from the world outside
 From the status of men and women in
 the Alabama prisons, and because of the poor and inadequate attempt at education TOT them, and the large percentage of negroes, many labor under the false im- pression that there is little intelligence
 among the prisoners. This is by no means
 true. Men and women from every rank
 and file of society can be found behind
 the bars. For society in doling out crime
 has not passed by the intelligent or the
 rich The unfortunate system that makes
 criminals has put it's finger on victims
 of every type.
 But the same system that tears down
 will also build up. and corresponding with
 prisoner is but another evidence of the
 tendency to aid whenever and wherever
 aid can come.
 Don't neglect this work; write at once,
 The pleasure is great and the deed good. and the effect repays every time
