the fair sex who are waging a hot fight for votes for women," but merely wish to ask in all seriousness, Will it prove eff successfully to the best inter ests of woman herself? In the first flush of victory, with the coveted bal lot in her hands, no doubt many rigid reforms will be promulgated. Many for the public good doubtless but as the years go by, will they not weary of such things? It is hardly possible that the sordid grind and turmoil of politics will hold for any great length of time, the interest created in che fight to ob- tain the proud privilege of casting a ballot.
 AS to my own position on the sub ject, 'Im neutral, I am; and have no particular objection to women voting if they want to, but I fear that the privilege does not carry with 1t the unalloyed happiness some of our fair ones seem to think. Will 1t not inevi- tably lead to an estrangement between the sexes? One drink does not make a drunkard, neither will one vote pro- duce a "mannish'' woman, but its step in that direction, and we have no means of knowing where it may lead to; and there is no more disgusting spectacle than a"mannish" woman, and the same is true of the other seX-vice-versa We often meet sample- of both, and it leaves very unpleasant, not to say disguesting, feeling in our minds.
 Neither is fitted to fill the others place, and an effort In that direction will I fear, prove abortive and do an injury not easily repair ed.
 All true men, especially is this true of southern men, honor and revere womanhood, and would willingly sac rifice life itself to protect the purity of such, but with this high ideal shat tered and in ruins at his feet, I am sat isfied the s R. O. sign will be hung out at all bachelors clubs, whether men or girls, while the home, the founda tion and heart of the nation, will have crepe on the door. R. F. LACKEY,

THINKS MRS. OHME
 WELL QUALIFIED
Dr. B. F. Riley Gratified By Express sions of Approval Heard Con-
 corning Her Candidacy

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 That a woman so thoroughly com petent and periodically concerned in our educational affairs as Mrs Flor ibel Brown Ohme should offer for election on the board of education for Jefferson county Is matter of gen eral congratulation. With Mrs. Ohme 1t Is not my pleasure to be personal ly acquainted, but her reputation as 8 woman of boise of judgment and of educational ability is well known.
 She Is not of the officious type, nor a seeker after notoriety In the sim gularity of woman in quest of of flee, but she is evidently prompted by desire to render an unrequited serv- ice to our educational system. Fortu- nately Mrs. Ohme has at her disposal leisure and is unencumbered by do mestic obligation to a degree that will enable her to devote much time ana attention to the important function to which she worthily aspires Herself an experienced and skilled educator. and one who is in sympathy with the pro- gressive methods of education, her service in school work will be dis tinct and valuable contribution to our county educational affairs.
 It is gratifying that her announce ment awakens so much popular inter est, especially among substantial cit izens a number of whom have spoken of it to the present writer with not little enthusiasm and With an ex- pressed determination to support her with their votes. My personal opinion is that her election would prove of vast benefit to the school system of Jefferson countly B. F. RILEY.

BENEFIT TO COMMUNITY
 OF BABY WEEK EFFORTS
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

The much talked of and advertised Baby Week is about to draw to a close, and we ask ourselves of what benefit was it to the community? To be sure the baby has been talked of always, and de- lighted in ever since; the baby has soft ened the hearts of the lowly and added hope and cheer to the bereaved home. We are always studying this problem some way or another, but for the last week we have had constant reminder that the baby is community asset, and must be having very serious consideration, es- pecially as the hot weather that Is so it's all fine, it's all right, and 1t ought to be, but of what lasting benefit will it be to the mother. the baby and the home?
 What good does it do to preach the gospel of health and deliver the word of caution if it be followed by improper feeding and neglect? What benefit is it to show the right ways to keep the baby well and then disregard them? We are so apt to forget all caution in the future, and with that forgetting the babies get sick and die The hospitals are CTOWOtQ Wllu SlOHldCh SoAAPifinS babies, and all because we forget.
 There have been a number of interest ing meetings held throughout the city to further the study of the child; there has been distributed literature to mothers to caution them against certain things; here has been a great mass meeting held to impress the necessity of the care of the infant; the stores have advertised it in Birmingham; the papers have given it generous advertising; special talks have been made to mothers and children from all available sources; the co-opera ton of the best baby specialists have been given freely, and now, mothers of Birmingham, it's up to you.
 It's up to you to save the babies; every thing has been done to aid you in the work, the sources to assist you have been made known to you, the hospitals for the care of children are open to you, the methods of precaution are circulated; i; you must now do your part.
 It has been frankly said that the mother needs educating. the seed of ed ucation has been sown in every avail

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Warrior High Way

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 It seems that there is a division among the people of Jefferson county about where the Warrior highway should be built. It seems that there are two routes being urged, one to the Nickols fish trap and one to the Taylors ferry. Now, 1t seems to me that the best thing that the people of Jefferson county could do about this highway would be to come to agree ment and divide the distance between the Nickols fish trap and the Taylor ferry and make one landing place and build two roads, one road direct from Ensey and one road direct from Bessemer and let them intersect the river at some one place. I would suggest that anywhere be- tween the mouth of Short creek and the county bridge at Maxine would about di- vide the distance between Nickols fish trap and Taylor's ferry and believe that Ensley could reach the river this way nearer and the road would be straighter and the grade much lighter, and I think that Bessemer could reach the river at this place some nearer than they could at Taylor's ferry.
 Now. it seems to me that the only way for our good board of revenue to build this highway is by bond issue and I don't believe that the people of Jefferson county will vote a bond to build this highway as long as they are divided. The only way to get this road built is to get the lion and lamb to lie down together. So let's build two roads and that will meet the convenience of all of our cities for the next 50 years, and then n POnl0 rafIact bn ro a of the best board of revenue that Jeffer- son county ever has had. So I would be glad to assist any engineer i'll any way I could in local ting these routes to this point. I would like to hear from some other citizens on this question. Yours truly, w. R. STEPHENS.

 An unique scheme for advertising An niston has been adopted by the Wednes- day Study club an organization com posed of the society young women of An niston. and it was discussed at their meeting yesterday afternoon.
 Recently it was suggested that Annis- tonians when writing to their friends should make it point to say something nice about the city. The members of the Study club have agreed to do this and their action in this matter is to be com mended as it is the first time social club ever undertook such work of love for the city. It is probable that their action will be followed by similar clubs in cities all over the country.
 The grand jury is still busy examining witnesses, and it is believed it will make many indictments this term. Sheriff Bor- ders and his men are kept busy deliver ing summons to people whom the grand jury wishes to question in regard to the cases it is considering.

able spot in theHBirmingham district; let the small number of sick babies through out the summer months show the result for this will prove Baby Week worth while, and show that the seed of knowl- edge has taken root for the benefit of the future.
 Being a baby is a hazardous business, and needs all kinds of consideration; just being dressed up and to look pretty and being taken for a ride, or being kissed almost to death, won't help. Babies need common sense treatment and careful handling and every rrecaution to keep them well.
 Try to make Baby Week a success. You can if you show results during the warm days by the careful treatment of the baby. That will materially show the good of the instruction that has been so generously ministered during Baby Week.
 The city has an infant welfare nurse who may be reached through the health department phone Main 65S2. There are two hospitals to take the children to If they need attention, and almost any spe- cialist will give some advice if he is properly called upon.
 During this summer let's give the baby a chance.

Even Now Their Traffic De- mands Are Almost Un-

CONGESTION VERY
 SERIOUS IN EAST
Close Observers Think the Relations Between the Railroads and the Public Are Improving
 All the Time
By HOLLAND

New York March 9.-(Special.)-Geo A. Post, president of the Railway Busi- ness association, is sought as frequent ly for information respecting business conditions in the United States as is any one associated with trade organiza- lions or with large industrial undertak- ings. The organization of which MT. Post is president represents substantially the entire country. Its members are ex- cusively engaged in manufacturing con- modities of which the railroads have need. They are, therefore, qualified to speak authoritatively upon business con ditions, so far as these are reflected n orders that come from the railroad com panies to manufacturers.
 MT. Post said this morning that were it not for two factors that are influen- italy, to some extent, in limiting orders from railroad companies business of that kind would now be larger than at any time within the past four or five years. Demands made by the railroad companies on manufacturers are reflected in the demands made by the manufacturers themselves for raw material, and for commodities furnished by the iron and steel corporations
 The two factors to which Mr. Post re- ferred were, first, high prices, and sec ond, the inability of the railway com panies to secure prompt deliveries. Both of these factors are attributable to the heavy demands which are made now upon all industries. These demands. MT. Post said, inevitably lead to increase in prices. That represents the law of sup ply and demand So, also, the inability of the industries to deliver orders promptly is due to the almost over whelming demand which is made upon them, in many cases far exceeding the capacity of the plants.
 Nevertheless, some of the needs of the railway companies which are imperative have made it necessary for them to ap- proach the industries. particularly the makers of rails and the manufacturers of locomotives and to some extent the man ufacturers of bridge material. The az gregate of these orders is now large

 Several thousand incompleted shells have been turned out at the local plant already, and the plant is now operating night and day with view of being able additional orders within the next few months. large part of the machinery that was used by the old Illinois Car and Equipment company and believed to be of little value has been renovated in the machine shop of the ordnance plant and is now giving excellent service.
 Work is also progressing rapidly in the installation of the steel furnaces that will be operated under the same roof as the ordnance company, and in the repairing of the big rolling mill which will be put in operation again within the next few months if the experiments now under way prove satisfactory.

Is Suffrage a Panacea?

 It may seem out of place. or at least a bit irrelevant, to speak of woman suffrage just now, when the male por- tion of our country are so absorbed in preparedness and kindred subjects, and experts CD are busy airing in dividual opinions as to the final out come of the European war. Yet it seems to the writer that the question of suffrage" Is really a very vital one as it has to do with the vital interests of home and nation.
