LETTERS TO EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your edition of Sunday last there was a short notice of the death of the wife of prs S. l.. Dobbs, presiding elder of the Gadsden district. At Collinsville Sunday morning last, in the Methodist church, near where Mrs. Dobbs was born and reared-NAss Mollie New man-her funeral services were held. pr. Frank w. Brandon of Gadsden was to her memory, as her pastor. Rev. w E. F. ust, presiding elder of the Roan- oke district, under strong emotion and with bleeding heart, said she had been an inspiration to him and to many. He was followed by the writer, who has also been acquainted with the Dobbs family for over quarter of century. The house was packed with friends and kindred-some from Talladega and many coming from Gadsden in their automobiles. All of the children except Hoyt M. Dobbs, D. D., of Dallas. Tex, were present Her only brother, Frank Newman of Coiinsville, and her only sister, Mrs. Smith of Dallas, Tex, were also at the funeral and burial. Mrs Dobbs had been a great sufferer for many years, but a brave and patient sufferer. She was home builder. trae wife and mother. She had many friends This was attested by the wealth of flowers contributed and words of praise on hundreds of lips. She is not dead just gone before. L. F. WRITTEN.

'bANKHEAD PLATED | OVER THE SELECTION OF MUSCLE SHOALS Senator Here Yesterday Thinks This Means Com plete DevelopmentW Work SAYS LAFOLLETTE
 HAS SIX MORE YEARS s.yThinks Too Much Agitation Against
 Him May Cause Wave i of Sympathy to
 Spring Up

If the interdepartmental nitrate board, of which Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, is chairman, indorses the rec ommendation of army engineers that the experimental nitrate plant be located at Muscle Shoals, the main plant, to cost s2O,OooO0o, will go there also, in the opinion of John H. Bankhead, United States senator, who was in Birmingham yesterday.
 There is no question:" continued the senator. but that after experimentation with all processes at Muscle Shoals, in the small plant, the government will be- come convinced that for the manufac- ture of explosives in great quantities and fertilizer sufficient for the use of the southern farmer, it will be necessary to utilize the incomparable water power there available.
 F "The nitrate proposition, in the con temptation of Congress, does not mean solely the production of nitrates for explosives Of prime importance is the manufacture in time of peace of ferti- lizer. As a matter of fact, but for the co-operat ton of the southern farmer the nitrate proposition might not have been successful before Congress-

EVIDENCE OF I.W.W.
 ACTIVITY AMONG
 WORKERS IN CAMP

Anniston, September 29.-(SpeciaI.) Evidences that members of the I. w. w. are at work in Anniston and ad- jaeent towns are seen by officials in the efforts that are being made to get skilled laborers to leave Camp McClel- Ian. One attempt to take a solid train loan of carpenters from the camp to Lake Charles, La, was frustrated by the prompt action of officers of the quartermaster's corps earlier in the week, and Saturday officers found fur ther evidence against the agitators, who were run out of the camp, and
 others who have been endeavoring to disorganiZe the construction forces by offers of better wages at other places.
 Both civil and military officers are working on the matter and it is un- derstood that federal secret service men have also taken a hand in it. The off, ficials recall that an attempt was made to stampede the men shortly after the camp work started. This attempt was
 checked by Maj. Charles L. Duln. who headed off about 800 men at the Union station, Anniston, and by appealing to
 their patriotism and pointing out that the stampede was caused by few mal- contents. induced the men to go back
 to the camp.
 Later a second attempt to disorgan.
 ize the construction forces was made by agitators, supposed to be of the I. w. w. order, who spread faked story that there was an epidemic of small pox and yellow fever in the camp. This attempt also failed. The third attempt. made during the past week, also failed. even after arrangements had been made with the railroad company to furnish a train at Anniston to carry the men to New Orleans and Lake Charles, La. The agtators who are at work at the present time seem to be plentiful ly supplied with money. This fact pug zles the officers, who are working on the case, as the class of men who are attempting to disorganize the forces are of the kind that are not accustomed to having any more money than is nee essary for their immediate require ments.

Helping to Make the Alabama Boys
 More Comfortable

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: We have been in close touch with the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh (tine old Fourth Alabama) part of the rainbow division. now assembled at Camp Mills,
 Mineola, Long Island, soon to go to France.
 They are fine set or fellows with splendid officers, who look after and
 "big-brother' them. Many of these soldiers have no families and crave a friendly and human in terest.
 Throughort the country the soldiers have be Slpplied with comfort bags by tt own or city they come from. The aAlabama boys. having been on the border so long. have not been in such close touch with their nome towns, and have no comfort bags and no sleeveless sweaters, and we are told that they need both.
 One officer said: Twas better to keep them warm and comfortable now,s and keep them well. if possibie, than to neg lect them now, and provide surgical dressings for them after.'' Some living here, and some of us wis iting here ,who are Alabamians, have 1 taken them cigarettes, magazines and baskets of fruit. We are doing what we can in the comfort bag and sweater line, but we are few in number and the need is great.
 In sending letter to your paper and the other papers throughout the state, we felt we could reach more people, as we know all the Alabama women want 10 do something for these boys The comfort bags are made of any dark washable material, 10 by l3 inches, with drawstring at the top, and can be filled with safety razor shaving brush and soap. tooth brush, spool of khaki thread coarse needles. buttons safety pins,
 metal mirror and anything else. To really help these boys these things will have to be done at once. as they will soon be on their way to France The camp address.

Owing to the fact that the Muscle Shoals site had been ignored in former report of the interdepartmental board much pessimism had been expressed here as to tn chances for the big water power site.

IS NOW COMING
INTO ITS OWN
FINANCIAL SUPPORT GIVEN BY
RECENT LEGISLATURE WILL
PERMIT RAPID ADVANCE BY
STATE SCHOOL.

Norman, Okla, March 21-'I have
been on the faculty of the University
OF Oklahoma for twenty-five years, and
this is the first time in all that period
that the school has been given an ap.
preparation anywhere near commensu-
rate with its present needs" declared
Dean J. S. Buchanan of the college
OF arts and sciences when called upon
for speech during the student cele.
braticn, called on account of the fact
that the sixth legislature provided
$l,346,792 for buildings and mainten.
ance for the state school during the
next two years.
When Dean Buchanan began work
on the university faculty in 1895, the
president received $500 year, two
professors received each $1,000, one in
stmctor received $1,000 and an assist.
ant received $500. The total appropri.
alton for the years work was $4,000
and the cnly way TO make this money
Immediately available was to discount
it at ten per cent The appropriation
for the coming years maintenance is
100000 The faculty list is now 100.
The financial support given by the
legislature will mean that the Uniyer.
sity Of Oklahoma departments of geol.
ogy fine arts and medicine will forge
ahead faster than ever in taking lead.
