peeresses are living with their hus-
bands? How many silently thank
their stars+and their shrewd mar
rage settlements they are not?
The plan to unite an all-important
scion of degenerating physique with
sounder stock is not new. King Mi
Ian of Serbia-himself a stupid,
drunken figurehead of royalty-real-
lied that his dwarfed, i'll developed
son and heir, Alexander, bore all the
principle stigmata of degeneration.
The king therefore decided that the
Crown Prince should marry an Amer
lean! Her clean vitality would
strengthen the rotted constitution
hereditary in all royal families!
Milan demanded only that the bride
bring a dowery of $20,000,000, of
which he should appropriate one half,
the bridegroom one quarter, and the
remaining $5,000,000 be spent on
agents commissions, palace furnish
ings and wedding expenses.
Three transatlantic candidates for
queenhood were discovered, but their
hard-headed fathers insisted the stip-
ulated dowery should be settled on
the American queen and her male
heirs. Milan's practical plan fell
through, Alexander died childless, and
his dynasty ended: =. ~. -.
If you look at the photographs of
all the reigning houses you will see
how closely the members resemble
each other. All royalties are too near
ly related. Dog fanciers know that
Japanese sleeve dogs, through being
inbred, have no brain-power at all.
A progressive loss of mental power
marks almost every ruling house in
Europe.
Contrast the crown princes of Eu-

cousins; the czarevitch stricken with

RAILROAD HEADS
CONFER WITH COAL
OPERATORS HERE
COapman and Taylor Discuss
Shortage and Urge C0mpa-
MES Supply Roads With
Contracted Amount

The problem of coal supply brought
two railroad vice presidents to Birming-
ham yesterday. E. II. Coapman, vice press
ident and general manager of the South
ern railway. and r. V. Taylor vice pres
ident and general manager of the Mo-
bile and Ohio, conferred with l5 coal
operators, who have contracts to supply
the two systems with coal.
At the session, which was held in the
offices Of Superintendent J. H. Stanfiel
of the Southern, the two railroad execu-
tives urged that the coal operators CO.
operate with the railroads by supplying
the maximum amount of coal that the
contracts call for. They explained the
urgency of the appeal and were told by
the operators that they would lend their
assistance.
The operators declared that a shortage
of labor at the mines had caused them
to be. Handicapped in supplying company
coal" The exodus of the negroes to the
north was assigned as the cause for the
shortage.
In discussing this situation, Mr.. Coap-
man said that he did not believe there
was any political significance in the move
nent of the negroes from the south. In
Pennsylvania, he said, that he had seen
hundreds of negroes engaged in railroad
construction work. and that number
of Mexicans, having fed from the coun-
try on account of the turmoil that Villa
and Carranza have raised. were labor
ing side by side with the colored section
hands.
Mr.. Taylor left yesterday afternoon,
but Mr. Chapman did not leave the city
until midnight

DISTRICT SHARES
IN FOREIGN TRADE
Only Lack of Equipment
Prevented Far Greater
Export Business

The boon that the foreign trade OF the
United States is enjoying under the demo-
cratic administration is reflected in export
figures on steel and iron products for
the Birmingham district. Senator I'm
derwoods statement that the annual for
eign trade figures have swelled to 81, 800,
100000 under democratic rule, in COMPARE
son to $500.O0O,000 under the republican
rule, is plain to some industries in Bir-
mingham.
Export figures on iron and steel prod
ucts for Birmingham during September
show that 10000 tons Of pig iron, $500 tons
OF cast iron pipe and 900 tons Of steel
billets were sent to foreign countries.
Expectation from Birmingham was I'M
known to this district until the last three
years. Nothing but inability Of the CON-
panies to secure equipment to move prod
ucts to ports Is preventing the most ex-
traordinary volume of export trade that
manufacturer said yesterday.
The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany accepted in September one order
of 100000 tons of pig iron from the allies
and has been offered an even greater ton
mage. but has refused the offer. While
some Of the export business has been for
waring nations, a great amount Of the
foreign trade has been Of a commercial
nature.
All local records for export business
by Birmingham companies will be smashed
in 1S17. It IL believed.

100000 Free Tags-Other
Cities Take Up Idea of
Birmingham

Free Tag Day for the school amend
ment is on today.
| Approximately 10000 tags will be given
| away free on the streets of Greater Bir-
mingham by 800 women, representing
| izations in the city.
! 1t will be the first free tag day ever
staged in the United States as far as is
known.
| The slogan is. Free Tags for Free
Schools" The tag has the following on
one side.
vote For the School Amendment" and
on the other SIDE abolish Illiteracy.
| Help the Children
! Following the plan outlined by the spe-
cial tag day committee, every important
downtown corner in the city proper will
be manned by workers throughout the
| day. The teams will work in short re-
| lays of about four hours each, beginning
at o'clock this morning. and continuing
| until evening. In addition to this, worR-
ers will cover the business section of
every suburban district.
| The tags will be given to every man,
woman and child who wishes to wear
| one and not one cent will be charged.
| The tags are free and are given away
simply to advertise the school amend
| ment, which will be voted on next Tues
day.
| The idea originated in Birmingham last
| Saturday night and special local COM
| n:ittee, consisting of Hugh Grant, A l..
| Reese and Frazer Banks of the Birming-
ham public schools, was named to work
out the details. The number of workers,
about 800 in all, offered their services.
More than 100 clubs and organizatio in
| Greater Birmingham will be represented
| The tags were distributed to the sew
| eral centers early Saturday morning by
80 Boy Scouts, working under DR.. Bal
| lard.
| One feature of the tag day was the
ready response of the school children
| throughout the city. Because of the rush
order the printers We're unable to put
4, strings in about 10000 tags These were
strung Friday afternoon after school by
several thousand school children, who
volunteered their services.
| simultaneously with the tag day in Bir-
, mingham similar tag days are being held
| in various parts of the state. About 10000
tags were sent out of Birmingham to
Bessemer, and another 1900 were for
warded to Admission. Upon request late
Friday afternoon 500 tags were sent to
GUM, in Marion county, to be distributed
there
