LIQUOR ADS TO BE
 DEBARRED FROM MAIL
Superintendent of National Anti Saloon League in City Yesterday
 and Made Above Statement

It is only matter of a short time be- fore there will be no liquor advertise ments circulated through the mails, in the opinion of Dr. P. A. Baker of Colum- bus, O., superintendent of the National Anti-Saloon league, who has been visit ing relatives in Birmingham. Prominent prohibition leaders, who conferred with Dr. Baker while here, stated that his visit to Alabama at this time had no political significance and that he was not here to advise concerning the present and coming political campaigns. While in the city, Dr. Baker was the guest of relatives.
 Concerning the anti-liquor advertising bill, Walter l.. Sessions one of the leaders of the prohibition forces, said last night "Our delegation which will go to Wash nigton to carry a commission from the recent legislature asking the enactment of a law prohibiting the sending of liquor advertisements through the mails is greatly encouraged over the situation This bill has been introduced in the House Of Representatives by Congressman Aber- crombie and in the Senate by Senator Barkhead. Both of them have assured us that they will lend their assistance in getting the measure through Congress. Dr. Baker, the national superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, brought much encouraging news along this line We have reasons to believe that at an early date Puck will cease the publication of these advertisements and we are just in receipt of letter from Life saying that in the future none of these advertisements would appear in their weeklies sent into dry territory. Several states will soon enact laws similar to those in Alabama regarding liquor advertsements'

CRAIG DECLINES TO
 DISCUSS DISMISSAL
Information Regarding Removal of w. H. Seymour in Hands of Gov
 ernOr, States Examiner

J. H. Craig of Montgomery. state exami- ner of public accounts, while at the Nor ris yesterday, declined to discuss the sit uation which had resulted in the dismissal of w. H. Seymour from the department of agriculture. MT. Craig also refused to make any comment upon the attack which had been made upon him by MT. Seymour. MT. Craig stated that he had made an examination of the office of MT. Seymour, who was the head of the pure food department, and his reports had been rendered to the governor. Beyond the information contained in these re- ports, he said he had nothing to- say.
 It will te recalled that MT. Seymour was the second man in the race for commits sioncr Of agriculture in the first race in 1914, being led by J. A. Wade, the pres enr commissioner. MT.

Seymour has given out an interview attacking Examf- her Craig and charging that the examiner made false statements concerning the books of MT. Seymour. Up to the present time, MT. Seymour had not given up the keys to his office.

CONGRESS DECIDES TO STUDY CONSERVATION OF THE CHILD
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

Dr. Cable W. Salesby of New York, in his splendid book, "The Progress of Eu- genics," has said ''The discovery of child hood is the supreme achievement of our day" Without a doubt the most neces- sary study for the social worker today is the study of the child, and it is this sub ject that is noticeably taken up by many societies such as the Alabama Sociological congress.
 At a meeting of the executive board of the congress, held Saturday at the Tut wiler, the Conservation of the Child'' was decided upon as the most possible subject for the spring annual meetings.
 A subject such as the "Conservation of the Child is more versatile than almost any other, it's branches are so numerous delinquent child is a court problem, the dependent child is the problem of the detention home or the orphanage; the de- fective child is ever looming up as a state and social problem; the child in in- dustry becomes a legislative problem the school problem; the social problem home placing, the big sister and the big brother are factors in the work of child proba- ton. These are a few of the subjects that may be considered and still the field is barely touched. All social workers feel, problem to face, for here is the backbone

COURT OF APPEALS
 MADE FINE RECORD
Judge Pelham States Court Has Proven Useful Part of
 State Judicial System

That the court of appeals has met the expectation of those who favored it's es-
 tablishment and continues to fill the leg
 matter of history" said Judge John Pel- ham of Montgomery who was in Birming- ham yesterday. '"rhe present legislature made a thorough and exhaustive eXami- nation into the work of the court with the view to passing upon whether or not it should be discontinued but decided that it was useful and capable part of the state judicial system and retained it. The judges of the court who have performed the work of that body dur ing the years of it's existence are justly proud of the showing made by the court
 under the exhaustive examination con-
 ducted by the legislature.
 "The records of the court of appeals, since it was established in 1911, show
 that nearly 23O0 cases have been disposed of Of this number over 1S0 have been | reviewed by the supreme court wrIts of certiorari and the court of appeals has been affirmed in it's decisions in over 150 of those reviewed by the supreme court. The court of appeals is working body,  as shown by comparison of the work done by it with other courts of the same Jurisdiction throughout the country. The West Publishing compan,, recently pre-
 pared and published a summary of the output of all the courts of appellate jurIs- diction in the United States during the year 1914 and it showed that the judges of the court of appeals of Alabama wrote
 more opinions per judge CPD for that year than the judges of any of the other courts of appellate Jurisdiction in the Uni ted States with only one exception"
 Judge Pelham has served on the court Of appeals bench since it was created. He
 had been elected for several consecutive terms as circuit judge for the Annston circuit when he was appointed to the newly created court of appeals in 1911
 and his confirmation by the senate was ! unanimous. Later, when Judge Richard Walker, the presiding judge of the court,
 was named by President Wilson to the
 United States court of appeals, Judge PeI- ham. through seniority, became the pre- siding judge. Judge Pelham points with pride to the fact that during his service
 on the court he has not missed single sitting of the body.

PEOPLE AGAINST
 ANOTHER SESSION
 OF LEGISLATURE
Jasper Executive States Bond Issue Only Solution of Financial
 Situation


 The people of Alabama certainly do not want another session of the present leg islature, and this should be a potent fac tor in aiding the bond issue Tuesday. This is the opinion of A. S. Preston, a prominent Jasper banker, and mayor of that city, who was in Birmingham last night.
 q think it very important that the bond issue should be voted" said MT. Preston. Tt is the only solution of the financial situation which has been offered, even the opponents not advancing any plan by which the past due debts of the state can be taken care of. If the bond issue should be defeated, the matter would not be settled. We should simply be forced to have an extra session of the legislature, which, in my opinion, is one thing practically all the people of the state do not want.
 Governor Henderson, who is thoroughly familiar with the financial conditions of the state, assures the voters that if the bond issue is passed Tuesday, he will be able to take care of the balance of the floating debt out of the income of the stdte. IHe oIdlo lS HNluS WilIiii ieS hi- come now, and with this bond issue we can again get on firm financial footing. If the bond issue is defeated, an extra session will have to be called and this in itself will be a rather expensive luxury. Then a session of the legislature always tends to upset business conditions and for the time at least retard the develop ment of the state. I think that if the leaders of the opposition failed to ad- vance any feasible plans during the nine months the legislature was in session or during the recess, that it behooves them to lend their support to the bond issue which offers a solution for the trouble.''

PRAISES CARTOON
To the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor or Ine Ago-Herald:
 Please allow me to congratulate you on the splendid cartoon printed in this morn ing's edition, headed "A Cure for That Fighting Feeling.' It is worth several columns of anti-war editorials.
 The country can rest assured if it is left to those who are crying loudest for war and revenge and if it is up to them to shoulder the rifle and get on tho firing line, there will be no war.
 What good would it do to send an ex- petition into war-torn Mexico. kill some of the natives and shed more precious American blood? It would never right the wrong done us, or bring back the lives of those unfortunate but careless Amer jeans. who evidently thought more of the dollar than their personal safety when they centured into that war-cursed land
 When all is said and done the nation will call President Wilson blessed for keeping our country at peace, in these stirring times, when more than half the world is war mad. Very respectfully,
 RICHARD J. PAHNKE.

At high mass at St. Paurs church yes terday the Very Rev. Dean Coyle preached a sermon on Preparedness" '" He said:
 ITO all those who read, even cursorily, the daily papers-and who does not?-it IS evident that there is a new spirit enter ing American life and thought today. An old order is passing and giving place to a new. The world-war is having an effect in this new land. and never more will this country be what it was before the bursting of the storm that is laying desolate and waste the fairest portion of Europe. A few years ago this country proudly boasted that it, was foremost Tn the arts of peace; that here, civilization and progress were 50 years ahead or the rest of the world. Such boasts are no longer uttered. The statesmen who guide the destinies of America are asking them selves in doubt, What avail the arts or peace if we neglect too much the art or war? How will our vaunted progress help mankind if the same may be de- stroved by a ruthless foe?' In other words, the watchword now all over the land is preparedness.
 'Yes, this country must prepare must stand ready to repel invasion from Eu- ropean or Asiatic foes. This country trusted in treaties and in cordial eXpres- sions of foreign diplomats, Today there is a well grounded belief that treaties, even solemnly signed and sealed are scraps of paper that good will, verbally expressed by statesmen, is 'vox ct prac- teria nibil'-'a voice and nothing more. Today. the most clear-sighted of our pub lie men. men who read the signs of the times, see and say that if this country is to do in the world a nations part, if it is to maintain the respect and prestige that it should maintain, it must stand armed, prepared, ready. It must treat courteously all other nations, granting to all the right to a place in the sum- but if must be ready. too, to insist that it shall not be crowded out or contemptu- ously edged into a corner. where the sun does not shine

 One of the most necessary and widely considered problems for the child is school hygiene. In the words of Luther IT.

 The only thing about the place that was saved from the flames was one-horse tray, and this was due to the coolness of Miss Burns, who not only assisted in beating down a barbed-wire fence, but aided in pulling the dray to safety. Ac- cording to residents of the vicinity, the Morgans had moved to the house a few days before Christmas, it being Mr. Mor- gan's intention to farm. No one about the scene appeared to know where MT. Morgan was at the time of the blaze, nor could anyone give any information as to the whereabouts of his family.
