: PAID FOR PRESSING

Washington, January 0-(Specal.) The Investigating committee of the Ala bama legislature, as is remembered, crit icized ex-Governor O'Neal in that in ap- proving the expense account of d promi- nent banker who made a trip to New York in the interest of the state, he failed to exclude the cost entailed by the banker in having his trousers pressed
 The people of the state, it was apparent, upheld the former governor. In the opin- ion of the government of the United States the former governor acted prop erly. However had the banker awaited his return home to send his trousers to the presser, the state could not have, the federal government holds, paid the bill. And thereon hangs a tale.
 In the beginning, it must be borne in mind that the federal government has al- ways talked in billions. At the present time, it is discussing '.preparedness'' at cost of many, many millions; discussing a tax levy to pay for some of many, many millions And yet the government has declined to pay items of an expense ac- count of an agent which included l"trous- CTS pressed incident to his departure on trip for the government, and linen laundered following his return"
 In other words, Surgeon John s. Bog gess is disallowed 50 cents for pressing clothes under these circumstances and $1.SO for laundry. The auditor of the treasury department so ruled. and the ruling was upheld by w. w. Warwick, controller of the treasury But had the surgeon waited until he was aboard ship to have his trousers pressed, or had he not awaited his return to have laundered the linen which he soiled on board the ship, the ite&s, it is admitted would have been paid.
 It is curious world, as Bo-Bo, the an- cient Egyptian philosopher. was wont to exclaim.

MRS. DANIELS LOSES DOG

Washington, January 20.-(Special.) The official family is having its troubles President Wilson is being bitterly as- sailed from every angle on account of his foreign policy The members of the cabinet are boiling under the soft inn peachment that none of them are prac- tical. The party leaders are more or less incensed that republicans are repeating the tirse-worn charge that they and their party are incompetent to legislate con- structively.
 As if all the above was not enough Mrs. Josephus Daniels wife of the states man who has created a grape juice" navy, has lost her Jack. Now Jack is a dog--not a setter, capable or furnishing red -blooded Americans the finest sport lection of the man with the gun; not a hound, with nerve and strength to tackle a hungry wolf-but terrier.
 Mrs. Daniels has asked the police de- partment to find her Jack The police department, which some days ago, having abandoned all routine duties, found and returned to it's owner the terrier of Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, must do as well by the Jack of Mrs Daniels, But the department, having failed up to the pres ent time, is frantic. There is grave fear that the terrier has whined his last; has, as a result of exposure to the crisp at mosphere caught pneumonia and ex- pired.
 . The ill-luck of the administration fast becomes proverbiaI.

Washington Police Frantic Over Loss of Mrs. Daniels Terrier, Jack. Government Doesn't Pay
 for Pressing Trousers
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 20.-(Special.)
 For the purpose of informing merchants and manufacturers of the south where opportunities for trade extension may be found, the government is preparing to send into Dixie Stanley H. Rose, expert trade adviser of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
 His itinerary will include Danville and Lynchburg, Va; Charlotte and Greens boro N. C.; Memphis, Nashville and Chat
 tanooga, Tenn; Birmingham Montgomery and Mobile; Atlanta and Rome, Ga, and New Orleans Dates have not been an- nounced.
 There is an indication that the gov ernment is very anxious to help the south, having failed to help on innumerable oc- casions when matters of big moment were in hand. As is known, the south has been up against a rather peculiar game. It produced a cotton crop 5,000000 bales short of preceding crops and in season when the demand is greater than ever before in the history of the country; and yet it is receiving less money per pound than when two years ago it produced 16,- 900 bales. And the south has been frustrated in many of it's plans through the English embargo, through English greed, it is charged, in taking cotton shipped for the consumption of other
 countries and paying for it at it's own figure. And only last Saturday the presi-
 dent of the farmers union of Texas re- turned home after having failed to get the government to escort ship of 1,000,- O00 bales of cotton to Germany, which government had offered 27 cents per pound.
 It is thought probable, therefore, that the government concluded to send MT. Rose south in an effort to appease the south. For the south, democratic, has grown poorer as result of the war,
 and New England, republican, has grown abnormally rich. And the south is slight ly peeved
 But it is said that fthe bureau repre- sented by Mir. Rose has been studying various situations for an extended period of time. and as a result has found rare opportunities for acquiring a commercial hold on foreign countries. These are the ideas he will impart.
 The south will very likely give him an entbu Sia stic hearing

WALLACE SPEAKS TO
 MISSISSIPPI SOLONS
Alabama Fish and Game Commission CT Explains Pending Game Laws

Jackson, Miss, January 20-(Special) ] A majority of the members of Sboth houses of the legislature assembled in representatives hall last night to hear John H. Wallace, IT, fish and game com
 missioner of Alabama. He was present.
 ed in eloquent and complimentary terms by Representative Spears of Marshall
 county, who predicted that in time to come he would be Alabama's governor. MT. Wallace had no trouble with the alleged poor acoustics" of the big hall, his powerful voice penetrating to the ut termost corners After expressing his ap- preciation of the eulogistic introduction he plunged into the substance of his ad- dress.
 At present rates, declared the speaker, quail and other game birds would be ex-
 tinct in few more years. Local laws, he said, were never enforced: they mast be state-made. He had been working for game laws in Alabama IS years. and
 10 years ago was made game warden, be- ing elected twice by large majorities w.
 l. Spears, he said, had introduced a good
 bill in the Mississippi legislature, and
 based on the Alabama law. It does not contemplate the expenditure of a dollar of state money. It lets one hunt on his own land without license; if he hunts in
 his county off his own land< he pays S1 ; if out of his own county he pays sS. The
 hunter from other states must pay a
 license of $15. Thus nobody is burdened
 with taxes, and the department is made self-sustaining. One of the wisest pro- visions of the Spear bill ,as in Alabama.
 is that requiring the written consent of the owner of the land. The farmers of his state would not take anything for that provision, as it not only protects the game, but keeps out pot hunters and thieves. The cities of Birmingham. Mo- bile and Montgomery pay Alabama the largest amounts for hunters licenses. A
 few years ago one MT. Allison of Ala
 bama had seven deer on his 1o,0O0-acre place; now, thanks to the game laws. he has 800 deer.
 The speaker declared that the vaue of quail killed in Alabama every year is at least $l,000,000; that without birds to eat the insects nothing could live on this planet; that one pair of potato bugs would increase to 6,O00,000 in one season; that the trapping of fur-bearing animals in Mississippi is done by nonresidents and are being externinated; that Louisiana last year sold 13O0,0O5 worth of furs and Mississippi must have lost as much.

CHURCH PROPERTY IN NEW YORK GROWING ID HUGE FIGURES St. Bartholomew's to Pay $3,000,000 for Structure
 and Parish House OTHERS ARE SELLING AND MOVING UPTOWN Edison in Very Depressed Mood at Banquet When He Hears
 News of Explosion
 on the E-2
By HOLLAND

New York, January 20-(Speclal)-Ihe congregation of St. Bartholomew's Epis- copal church is to occupy, perhaps year hence, a new church building, with parish house and other accessories, about half mile south of the present church, and IS 60 pay s, 100000 for the structure-and this will represent the largest recent invest ment in church property in New York, with the exception of that which is rep resented by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, now in process of construction.
 Two or three other churches are wealthier than St. Bartholomew's, but their wealth for the most part has been of comparatively slow accumulation, and a good deal of it represents appreciation of the real estate which these churches own. This proposed new church for St. Bartholomew is of more than local in terest, since from some points of view it reflects momentous changes in New York real property, changes which in- yolve great appreciation ,and which have taken place within the past 20 years. It also reflects the steady, even rapid, con version of lower New York into exclusive business places and the consequent

 The correction in the census returns of London, which was made a few days ago. establishes New York city as the largest in population in the world, and if the metropolitan district could be includ- ed-impossble because the greater part of it is in New Jersey across the Hud- son river-then New York city would be the largest of any in the world by 1,500,- 000, or possibly 100000.
 This growth in population has convert ed that part of Manhattan Island which is north of Fifty-ninth street or the en- trance to Central park into home dwell ing section, and it was partly for this reason that the vestry of St. Bartholo- news church deemed it expedient to buy land and build upon it a church home, all representing the largest investment for a parish church made either in New York or any other place. It was from the rectorship of St. Bartholomew's church that the Rev.. Dr. David H. Greer went to take up the responsibilities of bishop of this diocese. When rector he

New Ruling for Selma Charity

Selma, January 2o.-(Special)--If you buy whisky you cannot depend upon the city of Selma to help you when you are down and out" This ruling has been made by Police Chief E. T. Walters, who now disburses the city's charity fund since it was taken from the hands of the local branch of the Salvation Army. From the list of negroes who have been get ting a monthly allowance from the city several names have been deleted because the express company's lists showed that they were receiving shipmnts of whisky for which they paid cash. The city S charity fund was taken from the Salva- ton Army and placed in the hands of the police department after much discussion among the members of the city council, who finally agreed that the money could better be disbursed directly from the city's own department

 Tn the first place. it proves an excel lent rendezvous for thieves It gives them, the colonel writes members of the Ala bama delegation, q vantage ground from which to swoop down on the commissary of the hospital steal and make way with provisions, and destroy property. In the language of the colonel, it has served little purpose in bringing the news of these depredations to the attention of the Edwin county constabulary.
 In the swamp lands to be transferred to the state is 8 certain site on Thigh ground.' the colonel says. on which the hospital would erect a shanty, and by means of this shanty, observe the sur rounding country, and the aforementioned desperate characters. And~ any approach of thieves towards the commissary of the hospital would be noted and instantly checked
 Colonel John is a member of the board of trustees of the asylum, and has the great institution near at heart" His ef- forts are considered by members of the Alabama delegation as most commendabIe And they will be successful, as The Age Herald has hitherto noted.

LAND FOR HOSPITAL

Washington, January 20.-(Special) ) Col. Sam Will John, the sage of Massilon, learned in lawgiving and law expounding, will deserve the credit when Senator Bankheads bill, providing for the trans ference by the federal government to the state of Alabama, of 122 acres in Bald win county. goes through.
 The land in question is south of the tract given the state some years ago for the accommodation of the Mount Vernon branch of the Bryce Insane hospital-the branch wherein negro patients are treat ed. It was originally acquired by the fed eral government when General Jackson in 1913 reserved it as base from and on which to maintain his operations against the English and the Indians La ter, the government, through formidable pronouncement. declared that on the prop erty would be constructed on an unnamed date an arsenal to be of Service in time of war

Women As Successes In All Fields
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Music and the drama claim, besides the list in the Monthly. which includes Rach- el Siddons, Ellen Terry, Sara Bernhardt, Teresa Careno and Sadayacco, Lady Greg ory, Eleanor Duce, Liza Lehman, Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, Madam Essipol, Madam Bloomtield-zeizler. Clara Schumann, Mary Anderson, Maude Adams, Elizabeth Pea body.
 Women are forging to the head in the literary field probably with greater strides than in any other. Here, we find, even back in the great days, before the women of the future were dreaded by the masses, such revolutionists in the lit erary world Saphho or Greece, Mrs. Shelley and her mother, Mary Woole- stonecraft. Here we shall not repeat the number given in the list of the Atlantic Monthly, which include the great women poets and few Journalists but the great est number of women that can be found doing the present day work with unselfish zeal are those in the social service work. Here IS the most natural outlet for wom- ans heretofore cramped life Woman naturally turns to the service of her peo- pie and her homely ideals would develop them along the best lines. In this work we find in the Atlantic Monthly list Char ! lotte Perkins Gilman, Jane Addams, Madam Montessori, Mrs. Fawcett, Mrs. Ennis Richmond, Mrs Beecher Stowe, lorence N1ghtengale, Mrs. Havelock FL lis, Mr7 Sidney Webb, Miss Clementina Black, Josephine Butler, Mrs. Pankhurst, Elizabeth Fry and to which we add such names as Helen Keller Dr. Anna Howard shaw Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt Madam Roszi1a Schwimmer, Sonia Kovaleski FL len Key, Olive Schrener Mother Jones, Katherine Breskowkaya (Russan), Rose Luxenburg in Germany and Clara zet- kin.
 Science has been able to claim no less a person than Madam Curie and lest the Atlantic Monthly bids us "observe the curious case of Hetty Green,' this wom- an with her vast wealth may be monu- mental in the movement, but the field of finance, too, is fast becoming invaded by the great minds of women.
 After all is said, after the prejudices and arguments are made to retard the advance of her political development it IS apparent that there is no place in which she will not be found and no work she will not attempt.

A recent article in the Atlantic Monthly attempts to indicate what women have done in the many fields of work of the world. in the face of conservatism of male egotism, of jealousy, of poverty, of ignorance and prejudice"
 The article goes further to say that the chains are weaker today and that the good will Supposedly of mem will yet break these chains that enslave women. Then an incomplete list of names is given. Before we reprint the names, supple mented by numerous other names, let us analyze in some degree the reasons set forth. She must face and rise above
 First-The conservatism of male ego tism: Male egotsm is an everlasting qual- ity and is the product of his so-called supremacy in this androGynous world but the evolution of woman is fast making in- roads into this phase of egotism, and matching the male in his fields of econom- ic, social and political endeavor.
 Male jealousy, we feel as women, is such a petty part in the suppression of the onward march of womens work, that 1t is hardly to be reckoned with.
 Poverty is largely responsible for the awakening of women in economic adven-
 
 wake of educational facilities that are as accessible to the female as the 'rnale, but prejudice is still the greatest factor in retarding woman's emancipation. Preju- dice is responsible for our so-called chiv- airy, for our so-called traditions, against both of which women have to wage such war.
 With the forward march of time and the steady advance of woman, the sue CeSSful women that we number now hv the hundreds will soon be numbered by the hundreds of thousands, the work of the world is no longer mans work but man and woman's work, and the other half of the people are coming into their own.
 To the world of art may be added many names of the modern school in which women are making such remarkable strides. We give only those, however, in the Atlantic Monthly list.
