HATTIE HIGHLANDS WRITES ABOUT BUSY
 WEEK SPENT BY WOMEN OF BIRMINGHAM

I you do, that she enjoys the Rotogravure section of The Age Herald so much. and, by the way, the proofs we received last night for todays issue were so splendid.
 
 There was a picture of Mrs. Alfred A. Walker which to many is fine. but to me it doesn't half picture what she really | is, as she has splendid eoloring and her charm of manner and yivaeity are among her greatest assets. She has many friends here, however, who will be keenly interested in the picture. There is a lovely young oride Mrs. Frank James Leslie. who was Miss Leona Davis of Ensley. The two handsome lit- tie chaps, William Cough and James Reese, are sons of MT. and Mrs. Will liam Phifer, Jr. of Tuscaloosa,
 The picture of Miss Elizabeth Farley was most attractive. She Is niece of Mir. and Mrs. W. J. Francis
 A picture which always appeals to me is mother and her children and the one , of Mrs Henry Ruff and her three hand some children has been greatly admired by us all.
  lent collection of pictures, and don't you miss seeing them.
 There will be two lovely brides, two young and attractive girls, a young ma tron of Tuscaloosa, queen of the Mobile carnival; young girl of Ensley, school girl in fancy costume, and young girl of wide popularity with the schoolboy set. For days have been asked, by at least three boys, when her picture will appear. So get your copy early, as I sus- pect they will want nearly all the copies printed.
 Let me tell you of a most interesting engagement announced today. Mary Cash of Memphis. who, you remember as the attractive guest of her sister, Mrs. Frank Smith, to Bestor P. Brown, Jr. The marriage will take place in May and Mrs. Smith is certainly one of our most charming women and has made many friends since coming here a few years ago as MT. Smiths bride. So we feel what's Memphis loss is Birmingham s gain. Bester is a dandy fellow and you know his sisters, am sure, Mrs. George Reynold Oaura Brown, Mrs. Carol Steele (Hermoine Brown. Mir Brown and his lovely young bride will make their home with MT and Mrs. Smith at Chestnut Hill.
 Oh, Beckie, if I only had the time, I could just tell you enough to fill vol ! ume, but for the dread that 1t will not be l read. I will wait and write more another day Hastily,

 The city has been literally filled with biennial delegates, artists. governors, delegates to the good roads convention, and, too the delegates to the state con- vention of musical clubs. You know l never met so many clever and attrac- tive people in so short a time. We were on the ,;o morning, noon and night, and I am sure this week we will all be glad to stay at home if wo could, and garden, as that seems to be the thing to do these days-but the Red Cross campaign comes this week. We are already in the midst of it, and the most splendid campaign will begin tomorrow to secure new mem- bers Our women respond enthusiastic caly to all patriotic work: they are the sane true good workers in time of peace and war.
 Mrs oscar Hundley has been made chairman of a committee of 100 for ex- tension of the Red Cross work in the city and suburbs, very splendid selec- tion. Mrs. HundIey is a most democratic pie has always been rendered with such a cordial spirit This extension means service from the people at the present time, when our country needs the heart work of it's forces.
 It gives everybody an opportunity to aid in the great cause, the human inter- est of the civilized world, and I am glad the women are responding so cheerfully to the call of service.

Textbook Legislation
Getting Opposition

AUSTIN, Texas, April 24.-Considera
bic opposition has developed to the encat.
ment at the present special session of the
Legislature any text book legislation, de.
spite the, fact that Governor Ferguson has
recommended the passage of q text boob
law. The opposition in the senate is said
to be stronger than in the house.
1t is pointed out by those opposed to
such legislation that no action should be
taken by the legislature until the people
have voted on the proposed amendment to
the constitution which would permit free
text books. This amendment is to be
voted on at a special election to be held
Tuesday, August 81, 1917. i,
The present contract with the text book
publishers expires on August 81, 1918, and
il is understood the contractors are willing
to extend the contracts for one year, Civ
ing ample time for the Legislature to deal
the proposition.

Any Of Professions

AUSTIN, Texas, April 24.-Checking up
of the annual report of g. w. Moore Of
King county by the comptrollers' depart
inent has disclosed that that county has
no lawyers, doctors, preachers or justices
Of the peace. 1t is the only county in
Texas enjoying this distinction.
In spite of the fact that King county is
"wet" there are no saloons in its confines,
aad it has been IS months since anyone
occupied a cell in the county jail. No
occupation taxes have been collected for
several years, and during 1916 there were
emily 136 poll tax receipts issued and five
exemptions.
The population is 1000 and there is one
merchant in the county and he is rated rs
a millionaire. The hamlet of Guthrie is
the county seat.

b,nk. Every iman OF them. a. well as the
orcw of the beat, were killed.
Sixty men had gained a foothold on :hc
other bak Of tile Diala. They got together
and started bombing the bank. They were
soon heavily dressed by the Turks on both
flanks, and found themselves between two
elumps of woods. Here they discovered
a pr,videntina natural position. A break
in tire river ievee had been repaired by a
new levee built in a half moon on the land
ward side. This formed a perfect lunette.
The sixty soldiers, surrounded on all sides
but the water, held it through the night,
all the next day, and the next night against
repeated ard determined attacks.
The attacks were delivered in the dark
ano at daen. The Turks only attacked
onee in the daylight, as the British IN
chine guns on the other bank swept the
ground in front of the position. Twenty
yards wesF of the lunette there was a thin
grove of hulberries and palms. The pom
toon position was most vulnerable on this
side and x was here that the Turkish at
tscks were most frequent. British artil-
lery fire, intermittent day and night, on
the wood. afforded some protection. The
whole affair was visible to the British
troops on the south side, who encouraged
their eonrades by shouting. ATTEMPTS
were mace to get n cable across by means
of a rocket, in order to pass the little band
of sixty more ammunition, but the at
tempts we're unsuccessful.
Twice during the nights of March Q and
10 the Turks were on top of the parapet,
but thev were driven back. One more de-
terminel rush would have carried the Lun-
cite, bat the little garrison, now reduced
to forty, keps their heads and maintained
cool control of their fire. A corporal was
seen searching for loose rounds and emp
tying The bandoliers of the dead. In the
end tfsy were reduced almost to their last
clip OF cartridges, and they had only one
bomb eft, but there was more than a hun
|dred turks deads outside the redoubt.
On the morning of the 10th, British
troops upstream had begun to turn the
Turkish flank, and the general retirement
begaa. BY $50 n. m. in the morning the
whole brigade had crossed and the fate
of E4agdad was sealed.

| have read Sir oliver Lodges statement
of the causes which led him to believe in the
continuity of life and the possibility of COM
munication. find myself in complete agree
ment with it.
II human testimony is capable of estab-
fishing anything, then it has absolutely
proved the fact of survival. If any one
thinks that | exaggerate, let him, before ex-
pressing his thought, read the following
books in the order given: Lodges Survival
Of Man." Hills "Psychcal Investigations,
Stead's after Death" Lodges Raymond"
No course of reading will profit them more,
and when inquirers have finished it they will
be in a position to dissent or to agree. At
present it is too often an argument where
knowledge and experience are on one side,
while nothing but prejudice or misunder-
standing is on the other.
OF all these misunderstanding none is
more common or more false than the idea
that the future of religion is in some way
imperilled. Spirituslism will destroy no ex-
isting religion, but it will enrich and revive
each and all of them. 1t will assuredly mod
ify details and call attention to the essen
tial things which all hold in common, rather
than to the less essential things upon which
they differ. To that extent it may offend
extremists. at will be new kind of Chris
tianty," said the Bishop of Oxford the other
day.
| chanced upon a biography of a Judge
Edmonds, Of the United States High Court
in which that eminent lawyer claimed TO
have kept in close personal touch with his
wife for many years after her death. | read
the book with the pity which the words of a
we'll meaning lunatc would inspire. Only
one thing puzzled me. Was the man really
mad, or was he for some reason lying? The
account was very circumstantial, and there
could be no question of mistake.
My knowledge of the subject at the time
was confined to Browning's "Sludge," and TO
occasional police reports OF the exposure OF
fraudulent mediums. | thought the whole
ritual consisted Of dark seances, floating tam
bourines, and absurd messages got by very
dubious means The association Of our be-
loved dead with such phenomena seemed
impossible and could not understand how
men Of education could believe such non
rensc. tried some tsbe-turning and got
the usual bsnal messages. This deepened my
distrust Of the whole subject
