Captain White Praises
 Work of Mrs. Mathis

That the farmers of Alabama are in need of help and that there is no one in the state or nation so well qualified to help the1n as Mrs. G. H. Mathis, is the opinion of Capt Frank S. White. ex- pressed in letter to Frank Willis Bar nett, associate editor of The Age-Herald.
 The letter follows:
 .I heard Mrs. Mathis before the Real Estate exchange today. I have heard her frequently before. She is engaged in great work, one that is much needed in Alabama, and especially at this junc- ture in its affairs, as the farmers of the state are in worse condition than they have ever been before. This Is espe- cially true of the southern half, where the cotton crop was complete failure, and btains, to very great extent, over the northern half.
 eff the farmers ever needed help and encouragement, they need it now. I know of no one who can so we'll help them as Mrs. Mathis. She is blessed with a superabundance of common sense heard distinguished scholar and divine say that she was ian apostle of common sense.'' She reaches, not only the farmers, but the business men of the country, whose assistance the farmers so much need at this time.
 ITO use a trite phrase, she presents the hog and hominy' view as it was never presented before. She attracts, in- terests and educates her audiences wher- ever she speaks She is doing more for Alabama today than any other individual in the state. While Mrs. Mathis is an Alabama woman, she is a national char acter She is listened to with attention and interest in all sections of the coun- try.
 Every city. town and community in Alabama should hear her. They would be inspired by her. The people of Birming- ham should get behind her and give her loyal support. If all our people could hear her. and could be made active along the lines she is pursuing. it would result in more permanent benefit to the sectior than many factories or furnaces. Y com mend you and The Age Herald in your effort to bring her. in great work. be. fore the public of this section. Very truly. FRANK S- WHITE

Would Make War on
 Sheep-Kill ng Dogs

 To the Editor of The fAge- Herald:
 The editorial, Sheep killing Dogs Cause Heavy Loss" appeals to me so strongly that I cannot resist the temptation to say a word in appre7 citation. I hope this is the beginning of an effort on your part to revive interest in the sheep raising industry.
 Only a few years ago merchants in Jasper and other points in this ter ritory bought and shipped large quan- titles of wool every year. For long time it was sent to the local gins and packed in bales for shipment as we now pack cotton. Possibly other un- favorable things have led to the de- struction complained of, but I have never heard any reason given for the falling off in sheep raising except that the killing of sheep by dogs made the business unprofitable.
 Public men and newspapers have often done much good and made big regulations by following up less i'm portant movements than the one you have just started, and I sincerely hope that The Age-Herald may add to its already strong hold upon public opin- ion by awakening general interest in the promotion of the sheep raising industry and the destruction of its enemy, the worthless dog Yours truly
 J. H. CRAWFORD.

ALL ARE PLEASED WITH FASHION WEEK
Stores Crowded With Visit Ors and Record Business
 Is Being Done

Although they are not making so much fuss about it, the merchants of Birming- ham say that they are having about the ever known since Fashion Week became an institution in Birmingham.
 They aren't talking so much about it, they say, because they haven't time. They are too busy seeing that the hundreds of customers who come to their stores from out of town are well cared for and get what they want
 And in this connection the merchants are congratulating themselves on their programme this year, which eliminates many of the social features, and gives the shoppers from out of town plenty of time to view the spring styles, and to select their spring wardrobes
 There have been hundreds of shop pers here during the early part of the week, and indications are that the crowds during the last few days will exceed those that have already been here. The stores have been crowded every hour of the day since Fashion Week was formally opened Monday, and in many of the stores extra clerks have been employed to wait on the trade.
 The automobile show, being run in con- neetion with Fashion Week. is furnishing much interest for the out-of-town shop pers and the special features each eve ming are drawing large crowds of women from out of town, who spend the morn ing and afternoons shopping, and reserve the evening to take in the automobile show.

TWO LITTLE BABIES ARE
 OFFERED FOR ADOPTION

Two little tots of seven weeks want home.
 Or. rather. the mother of the twin girls is anxious to find good homes for the little babies.
 The tots are said to be physically perfect and are ayowed to be very pretty. The mother of the children, who lives in East Bir- minghaip, cannot care for them as she would desire and is anx- ious to have them reared in good homes. Therefore, she has asked the city relief department to find them foster parent.
 It is the hope of the mother that someone will adopt them both and that they will not be separ- ated. But. fin event two good homes may be found, there will be no objection to separating the twins.
