turned to the writer today The letter showed numerous postmarks, both from France and England, indicating. that 1t had gone to various places
 The return of Major Lockes letter, coupled with the fact that other let ters have been returned unclaimed. has caused grave concern on the part Of Captain Shepard's friends here. He was well known to the various military organizations of the state, having first ccme to Alabama as Sergeant Shep- ara, detailed to this state by the Uni ted States war department as an in structor.
 After serving his time with the Uni ted States army To secured an hon orable release and was commissioned as captain in the state guard. He re- mained with the state military depart ment until the war broke out in Eu- rope. He then went to England and joined the British army and when he was next heard from he was at the front in France
 He wrote several interesting letters to friends in Montgomery regarding the war. He gave graphic and thrill ing descriptions of the fighting in France, and once referred to a wound he had received.
 But it has now been nearly a year since he was heard from and his friends believe he has either been taken prisoner or killed in battle.
 Captain Shepard was a soldier and a fighter. He was a Britisher, having been born in England. For years be- fore coming to America he was in the British army and saw active service in the Boer war.
 He then came to America and served several years in the United States army, later affiliating himself with the Alabama National Guard. He was one of the first to leave this country to enlist in the British army when the great European war broke out and he was one of the first at the battle front.
 Captain Shepard was a soldier and a gentleman, and his friends feel con ! fident that if he fell a victim to the wars dreadful toll he died as only the brave die.

GIVES VIEWS ON
 BACONIAN THEORY

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 I have read with much interest late 1y the new developments in the Shake speare- Bacon controversy, including the article you print in Fridays issue, taken from a Chicago paper, giving the views of 8 number of Chicago shop girls and few others on this fasci- hating question. Now. I think Bir- mingham shop girl should have as much right to express her opinion as those of Chicago, and as one such wish to submit view that l think will clear up the whole controversy The trouble is that everyone has been approaching the problem from the wrong side. When one stops to think it is perfectly clear that Shakespeare wrote Bacon instead of the reverse. That there is some mysterious connec- tion between the two has been proven long ago. That Bacon did not write Shakespeare is the joint verdict of the greatest Shakespearean and Ba- conian scholars. Who could ever sup pose for an instant that the author of such dry, unreadable stuff as Bacon's Essays and Novum Organum could ever have written "A Midsummer Nights Dream" or Hamlet On the other hand, 1t would be perfectly natural for Shakespeare to have written the

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-07
THE WORK EXPLAINED

The census of 1914, like that of 1909, with reference to manufactures, eX- cluded the hand trades, the building trades, and the neighboring industries, and took account only of establish ments conducted under the factory sys tenn. In the last census also. as in that of 1909. statistics were not collected for establishments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a DOT tion of the census year. or which be- gan operation during that year, and whose products for such reason were valued at less than $500
 The word establishment" as used in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or controlled and operated by single individual, partnership, corporation, or other owner or opera tor and are located in the same town or city.
 The reports were taken for the call endar year ending December 3l, 1914, wherever the system of bookkeeping permitted figures for that period to be secured. but when the fiscal year of an establishment differed from the calen- dar year report was obtained for the operations of that establishment for it's fiscal year falling most largely with in the calendar year 1914.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-07
COST OF MATERIALS

The cost of materials used was $25 512,000 in 1914 as against $14,0lo.O00 in 1909, an increase of $11 ,502. 900, or S2.1 per cent In addition to the component materials which enter into the products, of the establishment for the census year, there are included the cost of fuel, mill supplies and rent of power and heat. The cost of materials, now ever does not include unused mate rials and supplies bought either for speculation or for use during a subse quent period.
 The census inquiry does not include amounts paid for miscellaneous ex penses, such as rent of offices. royal ties, insurance, ordinary repairs, ad vertising, travelling expenses, or allow ance for depreciation.
 The value of products was $43. .144,00O in 1914 and $24,12S,000 in 1909, the increase being $19,016,O00, or 7S.S per mt
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-07
PERCENTAGES OF INCREASE

The population or Birminghaml at the census of 1910 was 132,6S5. and it is estimated that it was 166,000 on July 1, 1914.
 The statistics represent the estab- lishments located within the corporate limits of the city.
