MRS. LANGTRY DRAWS MORAL
Celebrated English "Actress" Permits
Herself to Preach Sermon on
Accepted Life in America.

Mrs. Langtry mentioned at lunch
con in Washington that she intends TO
write book of Impressions gathered
durng her recent American tour.
"One feature of American life which
interests me-" said the charming
actress, ''is the relation between par
ents and children. The independence

shocks the European mind. l believe
that the young Frenchman OF twenty
three is more under the thumb of his
father and mother than is the Ameri-
can girl of sixteen. Your children de-
sert their parents long before they
should, but American parents accept
this desertion as naturally as the hen
accepts the desertion of her brood.
Il hope, though she continued,
that the story New York broker
told me is exaggerated.

woman friend OF his whom he had not

SCHOOL TEACHER
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Young Lady Shoots Herself With Pistol-No Cause Assigned
 for Rash Act

Miss Louise Anderson, aged 19, commit ted suicide last night about s o'clock, by shooting herself with Al Colts pistol, at the home of her brother, Will Ander- son, Owens avenue, Jonesboro. No cause has been assigned for the rash act other than the highly nervous temperament of the young girl, for short time before fir ing the fatal shot she was apparently in the best of health and spirits.
 According to the statement of the fam fly, two brothers and a sister, their par ents being dead, Miss Anderson was in the best of humor at the supper table, and neither by word or deed gave any indication of the later tragedy. She left the table and went up to her room, when in short time her brother and sister were startled by the loud report of a pistol, and rushing upstairs found their sister lying on the floor with a gaping wound behind the right ear with the pis. tol close by. Medical assistance was sum- moned, but to no avail, as in the opinion of the physicians death had been almost instantaneous.
 Miss Anderson was a most attractive and accomplished young lady. On gradu- ating from the Bessemer High school, she accepted a position as teacher at school at a distance, and had returned home just two weeks ago for the summer vaca- tion.
 She is survived by two brothers, Wal Miss Mollie Anderson, who are distracted at the tragic end of their much be- loved sister. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Life is movement onward and un- folding"
 Women are learning to talk more of business and it's methods today. They have been accused of being absorbed too much in the effects of style, the almighty what to wear problem, but modern demands have wrought a very resourceful change, and womans world of this period is leading to the prac- tical interests.
 Several weeks ago I sent out letter addressed to each of the exhib itors in the woman's work of the 1915 Alabama State Fair, and in this letter was desire expressed for criticisms of past operative methods, or new fea- lures of woman's industry that they might be included in the next catalog.
 The results of this letter have been most satisfactory and helpful.
 One writer suggests that even more importance be placed to the culinary exhibit, emphasizing the necessity of good cooking in the home-the real fac tor of peace-and further states, the neglect in having good bread is all most a crime today, when the market supplies the purest and best materi als"
 Another suggests that we live too much in our kitchen. and are neglecting the artistic That home today is made in a hurry between breakfast and dim ner, and that the only epitaph possible to instribe on mother's tomb now is that she has worked we'll" That is. cb hoe la11 fOr hoy hut many of our efforts are solely to sup ply the appetites, and thus we over look the necessity of cultivating the eye and taste.
 Again, is an unusual, but a very wise suggestion: q recently heard a minister say in his sermon that he had often wondered why it was that the very best was always exhibited at fairs; no failures were ever shown there.' However, he stated: I attended a coun- ty fair in my own home county in Ken lucky, and there saw in one exhibit a shriveled apple and the tree that bore it was cut open, showing a diseased body. Every day, at intervals, a professor from Perdue college lectured to the farmers in regard to the care of fruit trees." Then she adds maybe we can do something like this al our fair show the failures and the reasons and rem edies.
 These suggestions all furnish sound ideas for future plans.
 The letters are on file for reference, awaiting more, when woman called in person and remarked: You don't know me, but l received your letter yesterday and guessed while l was in town I'd better come up and talk to you little bit. I enjoy the fairs; its all hard work. But then I know mighty few women who are not on their job all the time Now if you will show me something easy l am ripe to take hold of it."
 Then she continued: .I consider the very hardest job in the list is to be mother, and the home-maker, without the money to meet the needs. And even

Municipal Ownership Means More Bonds

IF THE TAXPAYERS OF BIRMINGHAM decide to experiment with municipal electric lighting plant it is bound to mean more bonds.
 AND THESE BONDS for several million dollars will have to be guaranteed by the city of Birmingham one will care to buy them.
 THAT MEANS virtually putting mortgage on YOUR property to raise this vast amount of money to run risky political experiment..
 AND ALSO REMEMBER, MIR. CITIZEN that you are taking chance on POOR SERVICE, HIGHER TAXES, POLITICAL CONTROL, ADDITIONAL BOND ISSUES AND BROKEN PROMISES.
 The U. S. government reports for 1912 show that at that time there in the U S. 1862 municipal electric light plants Of these l5l6 in cities of less than 25OO0 population and 46 in cities over 900 popu lation
 In 1902 67l out of the then existing 815 municipal eec tric plants were located in cities under 5000 population being 823 per cent In 1912 there 1927 out of to- tai of 1862 municipal plants 85 per cent of all munich pal plants were in towns under 5000 The for this is clear In operating in communities of 5000 population under electrical energy cannot at reasonable rateS be protaby produced and distributed and you would not invest your private capital where would not fair return towns of this size and under forced to either forego electric light service have the city, through all of it's taxpayers provide the plant for this purpose
 The U. s. Government statistics furthermore show that of the BIO new municipal electric light plants tablished since 19O7 293 in cities of population under 25,000.
