Mrs. Rogers Calls War
Hell Foolery"-
on Vote Fight
MISS CARPENTERS
ACTION PROTESTED
Mrs. Blatch Bids Congress
sionai Union Members
Stir Camp Kettles

war is hell foolery," Mrs. John
Rogers, jr., chairman of the Natlonai
Advisory Council of the Congresslonai
Union for Women Suffrage, said yester-
d.v nv way of protest against the
action of Miss Alice Carpenter ana tne
eitv committee Of the union IN declar-
inc that the union would be ready Tor
service in case of bostilities.
Miss Carpenter was in Dayton ONO
Yesterday, and so could not answer Mrs
Rogers. but an exciting meeting is pre-
dicted for the next session of the board
Mrs. Rogers is the wife of DR.. John
Rogers and the sister-in-law of Henry
l.. Stimson. former Secretary Of War
Her statement was d,
81 wish TO express my unquallhed
disapproval of the executive board OF
the New York City Committee OF the
Congressional Union in pledgng the
union to any kind of war service. The
executive board exceeded its authority,
and I trust the resolution will be re-
scinded at once. / think the United
States should keep out Of war, no mat,
ter what happens, because war is nell
foolery.'
Get the Vote, She Says
"Thsse historical suffragists who are
favning TO lick the hand that spurns
women are to my mind lacking in dig
nifty, self-respect and logical thinking.
The greatest service we can render 10
our country remains now exactly what
IL was before this war menace-that is,
10 secure votes for all women by Fed
eral amendment. I, for one, will give
no service Of any kind TO country
which violates the rights of women by
refusing them political freedom
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, who
has been one in thought with Mrs.
Rogers for years, was surprised last
night at the stand taken by her partner
in suffrage.
at is very narrow position 10
take" she said. eve suffragists must
not sulk in our tents just because war
is interfering with our programme
Rather, we must be glad TO take al
vantage of the opportunities war gives
us women to show our ability ana our
devotion TO our country.
Women for War Service
PERSONALLY am in favor of womcn's
undertaking much broader activities III
war. Women should take entire charge
~ tho commissariat. The country
doesn't need the women running around
in KHAKI as much as it needs them
behind the kettles.
"Let the United States invite the en-
listment of women for such service as
mis-. and we shall have better food and
more men to do the fighting"
A meeting will be held on Tuesday
by group of suffragists who believe
IN military service. Mrs. H. o. Have
never and Mrs. Charles Beard are act,
ing with Mrs. Blatch IS an unofficial
committee to draw up programme OF
work.

Court Skaters
Mrs. Clark's Claim
to Family Effects
Former Husband Entitled to
More than BoOtjack
After Divorce

The theory Of Mrs. Amy ?. Clark
that a husband is entitled TO nothing
more than the bootjack from among
the family effects when marriage IS
dissolved-was shattered yesterday. A
Supreme Court jury decided against
Mrs. Clark, who sued to collect s44,OOO
from John W. Clark, who divorced her.
The $4,000 represented the value OF
All the family effects, which she in
sisted belonged to her, even to the
wedding presents given by frlends OF
her husband.
.'That is the law" she said, adding
As 10 the wedding gifts "They belong
10 the bride"
However, Mrs. Clark did say that she
would not think of leaving her hus-
band without cup and saucer, any
way. Included in the articles whose
value Mrs. Clark sought TO collect
were. she said, many. pieces of jewelry,
with value of $1SS67. Among them
were twenty-six necklaces, dozen
bracelets and several rings.
Clark said that there was no Jewelry
in the family safe-that she had
pawned much of it--but that he did
ind in il the letters from a man on
which he sued for a divorce.
Notwithstanding that he was abb
solved by the divorce of all response
biljtv for the support of Mrs. Clark,
the defendant told the court that he
still was willing to provide for her.
The couple had been married twenty
wears. Clark remains on good terms
with his former wife's mother, with
whom he dimes once week.

LADIES OF TREBLE
 C[EF" AT THE BDOU
Excellent Programme Ar ranged for Twenty-third
 Community Sing

An excellent programme has been ar ranged for the next community sing, the twenty-third of the series that began the first Sunday of last June, and has con tinued in an unbroken sequence ever since. The concert next Sunday will be- gin at 3:30 o'clock instead of at 3. with the doors opening at o'clock sharp.
 The two new features of this event will be the appearance of the High School Glee club and a chorus composed or members of the Treble Clef chorus of the Music Study club. The Treble Clef club ladies will be heard in two numbers, with incidental solos by Mrs. J. J. Strick- land and Miss Rebecca Bazemore. The High School Glee club. under the direc- ticn of Miss Leta Kitts. supervisor or music in the public schools, has become one of tho musical institutions of Bir- mingham and is sure of a warm recep- ton from the thousands that will be present at the Bijou Sunday.
 The music loving negroes of the city have been invited to be present at all the indoor "sings,' beginning with next Sunday and it is expected that the gal lary, which has been reserved for their use, will be filled to overflowing.

VISITING GAS MEN SEE ALDR|CH DOME Birmingham's Gas Discov- cry Continues to Attract Attention All Over
 Country

The recent discovery of natural gas on the Aldrich dome continues to at- tract attention In all parts of the coun- try. Within the past 10 days visiting oil and gas men from as far west as Wyoming and as far east as New York have been here to inspect the loca neId.
 Among the visitors in town yester- day who made trips to the dome were Edward Lovewell, president of the Rex ford Petroleum company of Wyoming and w. K. Screiber, who Is interested in the Indiana oil and gas business.
 In the current issue of the Oil and Gas Journal of Tulsa, Okla, looked upon as the leading publication of it's kind, an extensive article appears on the Birmingham discovery. One of the reasons why this discovery attracts un- usual attention is said to be the fact that during the past 10 or 15 years the natural gas wells of the country have been worked very hard and in many cases are giving out so that new discovery of natural gas anywhere is a matter of great importance.
 Natural gas is regarded as a particu- larly valuable asset in any community where it is used as it is a special in- ducement to skilled labor because of the cheap and cleanly fuel it supplies.
 Further drilling on the dome is pro ceeding with vigor.

NEW COMMISSION |. ID BE SWORN INTO OFFICE ON MONDAY Long Conference Held Yes terday at Which Many
 Topics Were Discussed MUCH GOSSIP HEARD
 ABOUT NEW REGIME Reports Yesterday Were That Kendrick and Ull- man Would Be Retained
 for the Present

Birmingham's new city commission will be sworn into office on Monday November 5, at noon, in the city coun- ell chamber, according to a decision reached at the meeting of the commis- sioners-elect in the office of the presi- dent of the city commission, yesterday, which began at o'clock and lasting until 5:30.
 Many matters of importance to the new administration were discussed, and many phases of the conditions to be faced were brought out. Members of the new board who attended the meet ing, however gave out no details after the three and a half-hour conference.
 It was rumored at the city hall, how ever, that on account of the services rendered the city by the city engineer Julian Kendriek, and M. M. Ullman, city attorney, there would be no changes in either of these departments for tho present at least. In MT. Hendricks case 1t was stated that he was asked by Commissioner Burruss if he intended to resign, and MT. Kendrick stated that he did not, but that he would do so without the least trouble to the city if they so desired To this MT. Burruss is reported as having stated that he hoped that MT. Kendrick would remain with the city, as he was considered a very valuable asset, and that no change in his department was contemplated
 In the case of the city attorney 1t is pointed out that he is in touch with the citys various legal entanglements, and therefore in better position to push cer tain litigation pending than any other man at the present time. This may prove in MT. Ullman's favor, and mean his retention by the city.
 There now seems no doubt as to James Jones being the successor of Louis L. Levy present comptroller in view of the development yesterday, when Mir. Jones served notice upon Luther Hollums to the effect that he was not further needed in the license department of the comptroller's office after November 5. Mir. Hollums an- nounced yesterday that he had been so notified, and that he had appealed to Chief Eagan to place him back on the police force he having been transferred from that department to the license de- partment.
 Following the meeting of the commits sioners on Monday next when they will be sworn into office 1t is stated that they will immediately confer, and that an agreement will be reached as to who will be dropped from the city pay rolls, and who will remain.

RECORD BROKEN AT
 CITY POSTOFFICE

"Wednesday was the heaviest day in the history of the Birmingham postof- slfice," said Postmaster R. B. N yer last Knight.
 without counting parcel post pack ages, newspapers or registered letters. more than 100000 pieces of outgoing mail were handled. More than 125000 letters went through the stamping machines
 'The rush is accounted for by the fact that it was the end of the month, when bills were going out, and then there was a rush at the last moment to get letters out under the 2-cent postage. Hereafter it will cost cents to send letter out of town sSs
 "The fl zee of clerks at the post office oe kept on duty until nearly miS ' Wednesday night handling the rush"

BOTTLES OF
 PEPPERS PUT UP Mrs. A. c. Smith AgainI Shows What Can Be Done
 With Half Acre

Mrs. A. c. Smith, 413 First avenue, wh in past years has made such a reputa< ton with her bottled peppers that they have attracted attention all over the dIs- trict has put up whole lot more of them, this year.
 MT. Smith called at The Age-H office yesterday and exhibited some of the products of their little Birmingham garden which would attract attention anywhere.
 We planted our half acre of ground in various kinds of peppers again this season. said MT. Smith, and on that plot of ground we raised enough of them to put up 11.711 bottles of peppers. Every year we do little better and next season We hope to put in about two acres if we are successful in getting the land we want. Our bottled peppers are apparently very popular for we sell them to prdcr-, cally everyone in Birmingham and they are always in demand"
