For 50 years this habit has been grow ing, until now it has become a costly nuisance, a bugbear to business, and is giving the shop girl' unnecessary trouble and retarding her progress. The majority of them are paid so much each week and a percentage for average good salesmanship. Her percentage is often damaged by the return of goods and she is discouraged in her efforts to grow better business.

In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks produced in the machines during the grinding process Tiny par ticles of gravel or metallic substances coming into contact with the plates of the machine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within the machine.
 Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested is the use of naked flames.

 Miss Moore closed her address by say ing she would be satisfied with anything Birmingham wished to do-anything it

 TO BEGIN ACTIVE WORK
 Active work will begin at once to raise
 the amount subscribed by Birmingham.
 There will be 10 teams. They have com piled the names of several thousand per-
 sons who they feel sure will make liberal
 donations, and committees will be sent to
 solicit their subscriptions. The commit tees will meet each day at a luncheon
 at the Hillman hotel.
 The work of raising funds will be pushed to it's fullest extent as Birming- ham wants to be the first to raise the amount subscribed. Confidence that this could be done was expressed by every member present last night.
 The young women appointed from the Birmingham chapter of the Athens Alumnae association to work with the 10 teams in raising the $35,000 are as fol- lows: Mrs Marvin Woodall, Mrs. Jack Justice, Mrs. Eli Pigman, Miss Lummie Siuiard, Miss Maybelle Self, Mrs. w. Oberhileman, Miss Eva Mae Jones, Mrs. H. O. Chambers, Miss w. Whitten and Miss Annie Lee Horn.

the fellows who still hold populistic
ideas about currency legislation. but
the bill Is measure Of real substance.
What the President has said Dbout
the farmers being at n disadvantage
In matters of credit was quite true.
This was due to no desire on anybody's
part to discriminate against agricul-
ture. but rather to the peculiar require
ments Of the industry and the difficult
ties Of devising an efficient scheme of
Government regulation and assistance
that. at the same time. would be sound
and valid.

Washington printing establishments have more
money invested compared with the population Of
the city, than any in the United States. Washington
printers and their families spend their money in
Washington, deposit their funds in Washington
banks, support Washington industries. Yet
Washington merchants still insist the old bugaboo
of inability to handle their particular printing, or
send it away to other cities, because they get
it done for few cents less. AS long this condi-
ton exists, the printing trade will suffer to
tent-the merchants still more from being unable to
have the best class of printing for their statesmen
who do not talk.
