sentatives Of the B. M. C. Oil Co. left

Nh. Shahan states that the Electra
Oil Field is destined to become one of
the greatest in the world, it now be-
ing only in its infancy.
Electra oil is of a high grade, hence
always brings a high price. The for
nation is of such a character that the
drilling is easy, cheap and quick. There
being such a small percentage of dry
holes, that there is practically no gam
BILE whatever when drilling in a proven
field. All this coupled with the favor
able laws passed by the State of Texas
for the protection of the independent
and small companies which have done
so much in the development of her
great oil fields.
Pipe lines are common carriers and
%refineries are common purchasers in

WOMEN IN HEAVEN

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 F The Rev. pr. David Winters, without
 disclosing the source of his information.
 tells the Presbyterian Ministers associa-
 ton that the proportion of women to men
 in heaven is about three to one, possibly
 five to one" 'If popular elections were held in heaven,' he adds. land if there
 were woman suffrage, I am sure the
 women would win in the elections" The preponderance of women is undoubtedly the reason why it is heaven. If they had their way on earth, it might be more like heaven Their political ambitions have been frustrated because 'most men are as lazy as they dare to be-" and it Is easier to accept the social scheme and the governmental system as they are than to reform them Most salutary changes come because women grow restive under imperfect living conditions for their fam lies. They want a place for the baby to play and to breathe fresh air They want a little room for flowers to grow They want to get rid of needless noises and smells, of rubbish, of strong drink, of dis reputable idleness. The modern woman of the right sort is not satisfied to be a mere picture of prettiness; she wants tc make her life count for its full value.

Exerxone Has Suggestion

"The situation in Washington certainly looks serious" said John D. McNeel, in- ternal revenue collector. And about all one hears talked on the streets Is war and the prospects for war. It's rather amusing, however, to hear the remarks that are made. Every person, it seems has some suggestion which if followed by President Wilson would do away with the seemingly approaching evil.
 You hear persons talking that you know don't know thing on earth about the situation, and yet they have their suggestions to make, and are ever ready to criticize the administration. Of course, the thinking person realizes that it is serious time in the history of this country, but he realizes further that he doesn't know as well how to proceed as the President, and those who are in close touch with every detail"

How Movie Stars
 Get Inspiration

N CERTAIN vampire" of the GA movies, whose name shall be withheld at the risk of breaking her press agents heart, says: q find that my inspirations come to me while talk ing my daily ablutions. The soft, ca ressing effect of the clear water, the insidious and haunting perfume of the incense, seems to imbue in me a spirit of deviltry that remains with me when arrive at the studio" She also leads the panting public to believe that she took a bath before every scene of one of her much heralded productions" which so 'simbued in" her wild and wicked thoughts that she "vampired" with considerable abandon, much to the delight of her admirers.
 This "confession" throws new light on the lives led by movie stars. It must be extremely hard at times to work themselves up to the point where they can successfully regis ter the emotions for which they are famous.
 Maybe MT. Chaplin does the trick by dining on frogs legs before enter ing the studio, from which he derives his eccentric gait and his happy way of throwing his feet out on the slight est provocation. Possibly, the movie maids who specialize in Sweet inno- cence" stuff themselves with dainty confections and breathe through their dainty nostrils the scents of blossoms gathered from old-fashioned gardens.
 It is suspected that some of the male "idols of the screen" as prelim- mary to posing before the camera eat heartily of prunes.

Convention Month A PRIL will be Birmingham's great A convention month, and the week of the 15th--Sunday to Satur- day, inclusive-will find this city thronged as never before.
 Before and after the dates referred to there will be meetings which will draw people from distance, but in the seven-day period beginning with the 18th the biennial convention of the Music Clubs of America will have come and gone; and it will be most notable gathering.
 In addition to the musical set" that will come, sightseeing visitors will be in evidence by the thousands. The cheap railroad rates will draw people from every part of the union. 
 Furthermore, the National Good Roads association will hold it's fifth annual convention here during music week, and as the annual exhibit of woodworking machinery will be made in connection with that meeting a very large crowd of 'road" enthusi- asts will be on hand.
 April 15 will begin such crowded week for Birmingham that friends of those who are likely to "take in" the events should suggest to them to get their reservations well in ad- vance.

 In this scene is the essence of Mark Twains bitterness. A wanton fate makes human beings. Some of them it makes clumsily and they are deformed It de- stroys them wilfully. It can make plenty more.
 The same feeling inspired voltaire when he wrote his passionate poem on the Lisbon earthquake:
 Come, ye philosophers who cry, "All's
 well,''
 And contemplate this ruin of a world. Behold these shreds and cinders of your
 race,
 This child and mother, heaped in common
 wreck!
 Seeking a light amid the deepening gloom, can but suffer and will not repine.
 "The Mysterious Stranger" like voi- tdire poem, IS the expression or a mood which possesses most persons at times, but which does not represent their real attitude toward life. The problem of evil never has been solved The pitiful attempts of high minded Europeans to explain how the war is going to prove really a benefit to mankind illustrate the futility of such explanations. At the same time as we survey the course of human history. with it's continued prog ress; as we observe the power of ideals, the self-sacrificing love and heroism that | lillumine tlfe world; as we study tA de- velopment of religious conceptions through the prophets of Israel. culminat- ing in the life and teachings of Jesus; as we bear in mind all these considera- tions we are forced to make the great adventure of faith and to believe with Arnold in that power, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness We cannot un- | derstand the existence of evil But we believe we are .coworkers with God in the fight against 1t.
 Tn this faith and in the activities of which 1t leads, multitudes of men and women who have had experiences as bitter as Mark Twain's have made life worth living. For they have overcome the world.

tion has been negligible. There are in service today, in round numbers, about 100000 enlisted men. Of this number only about 50 per cent are in continental United States and of these not more than 10000 men are avail able for first line of defense.
 Ultrapacifists will always oppose large preparedness measures, but on the other hand broad-minded lovers of peace and haters of war will take sane view of the question and advo- cate any reasonable measure seeking the national defense.
 Universal training would not only provide large body of defenders, but would develop in young men of all walks of life the true patriotic spirit and most wholesome appreciation of heroic discipline.
 Senator Chamberlain had hoped to get his training bill trough in the clos ing days of the present Congress, but sentiment in it's favor was net sufficiently strong to give it popu- lar impetus. It will be different in the Sixty-fifth Congress.

A Grave Situation

The German note announcing the intention of the Teutons to resume their submarine campaign without re- gard to the rights of neutrals or hu- manity brings about the gravest sit uation this country has faced since the beginning of the war; said> w. B. Bankhead of Jasper representative eject from the Tenth district, who was at the Tutwiler yesterday.
 The American government has reached the stage where there can be no course open but the severance of diplomatic relations at least if Ger many puts her threat into effect. In fact, the results may mean that this country will become involved in the war Germany is repudiating in ev- cry sense of the word the pledge she made the United States and she open ly avows that she will in the future utterly disregard 1t.
 Tt is to be hoped that the state ment of Germany is merely bluff and a desperate effort to force the United States to do something hastily which will bring about peace. The next 10 days or possibly less may bring forth remarkable develop ments"

Large Corporations I'm Welfare Work

Ml\T THIN the memory of persons w who are not yet middle aged the large employer of labor paid little or no attention to the living conditions of the people who worked for him in mill or factory. Sanitation, hygiene and housing facilities were matters beyond his ken. Just so his employees did the amount of work expected of them, it did not matter to him where or how they lived.
 But radical change for the better has taken place. The employer has recognized the fact that, in order to get the best results, not only must the factory itself be we'll lighted and ven- tilated, warm in winter, if artificial heat is need, and cool in summer, but the factory village, instead of being miscellaneous collection of novels, must consist of modern homes. They do not have to be mansions nothing ! of that sort is expected-but they must be built to meet modern require ments and have the comforts and con veniences which all classes of people a nowadays demand. No employer who sdoes not take lively intrest in the welfare of his employees can hope to get the best results in his business, due in large measure to having su- perior class of workmen, who are con tented and happy.
 Practically all the leading indus trial concerns of the country now have welfare departments in charge of ex- perts. This work is an important fea- ture of their operations. Large sums of money are spent, but every penny thus expended yields profit in in creased earnings.
 Some of the cotton mill villages 1T the south used to be in deplorablt condition. There is still room for inn provement around many mills, but
