The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-13
By E. LEoNA LAUBE COPELAND

Dear readers of The Weekly Age-Her- aid, have you registered yeti? If not, do so. The value of registration here in Birmingham has been proven. The chap ter of Red Cross received from division headquarters call for 12,000 knitted garments to be finished by November 15 for our men in the trenches. This was a tremendous piece of works and to get the workers quickly would have had been a problem, but by going through regis tration cards 1000 names of women who had registered to knit were obtained in a very short time.
 
 Thomas A. Edison says there is no doubt that women suffrage will prevail in every state. From this we imagine that he is working on some new kind of ray through which to spread the glory of our cause.
 It Is interesting to note that while women in the eastern and southern frage, Ii women are sitting as members of legislatures in the western states Whats the reason?
 SUFFRAGISTS COOPERATE
 When the first division of our boys left last Wednesday,, they were wished God-speed by large and patriotic crowd.
 Mrs. Adah Martinsen, speaker from suffrage association headquarters ad- dressed the boys at the Terminal sta tion. She, by the way, gives her two boys for the country's service, and they yror ba ha ybar, the boys boarded the train they were presented with packages of tobacco which had been tied up the day before by the suffragists. Mrs. Angus Taylor was chairman of committee, which con- sisted of Mrs. Lee Rust, Mrs. Priestly Toulnin Mrs L. C.. Brownlee, Mrs. Roy Sterne, Mrs. Nixon Norris, Mrs. H. F.. Pearce, Mrs. Hutchinson, Mrs. Adah Martinsen and others. This committee was assisted also by a committee from the Red Cross.
 Did you know that 1s states have given women the right to vote for President of the Usited States.
 SPECIAL ATTENTION
 Stop, read and ponder!
 ''The White House, Washington. Mrs. Norman Whitehouse.
 New York City,
 My Dear Mrs. Whitehouse: learn with sincere pleasure of your impress sion of a growing sentiment in the state of New York in favor of woman suffrage, and shall look forward with the great est interest to the results of the state conference which you are planning to hold in Saratoga. May not express the hope that that conference will lead to very widespread interest in your cam paign, and that your efforts will be crowned with the most substantial and satisfactory success? Cordially and sin cerely yours, WOODROW WILSON"
 We urge the public and the press to discriminate between women picketing the White House and our great body of loyal, patriotic women. They are two distinct parties, and have no relation at all to each other, and the National Suffrage association strongly disap- proves of the "picketters'' action.
 WHY NOT ALL SUFFRAGISTS?
 When the constitutional amendment for woman suffrage was pending in New Hampshire, Capt Albert Thompson, tall civil war veteran, worked for the women with all his power. He explained the reason by saying that in Tennessee his regiment would have starved but for the food the Tennessee woman brought to them under cover of the night.
 It has often been noticed that the G. A. c. men are generally in favor of woman suffrage, result of their warm and grateful remembrance of what the women did for them during the war. Alabama men, let's hear from you!
