Conducted under the auspices of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage associa- tion.
 tThis column is conducted under the auspices of the press and publicity council of the Birmingham Equal Suf- frage association. Questions on pol itics and government will be well come. Answers will appear every Sun day in The Age Herald. Address all questions to Mrs. Roy M. Sterne, 1925 Beech street, Birmingham.
 e. What is the Prussian voting sys- tenn? What reforms are being urged within Prussia?
 A. The Prussian constitution and the government for which 1t stands has as its corner stone the thorough going supremacy of the crown. It is conspic- uous for its utter disregard of the fundamental democratic principle. The King is the personified power of the state (far different from the King of England who is King "by the grace of God and the act of Parliament") :, and all power in Prussia emanates from the King down to the people as represented by their meagre legisla- tive prerogative In the "landtag"
 The landtag, or lower legislative house. is entirely subservient to the Hohenzollern King with his power of absolute veto and dissolution. Yet with this mockery of democratic leg islature must the Prussians be content. It is only for members to this house that the men of Prussia have the right to vote at all The women. of course, have absolutely no voice in the gov ernment.
 The principle features of the unique voting system were devised as a com promise between a democracy based on universal suffrage and a government exclusively controlled by the landhold- ing aristocracy. The essential charao- teristics of the Prussian electoral sys- ' tenn are first That the suffrage is indirect and. second, that it is iun- equal. Representatives are chosen in

Doing Away With Contract Graft

William H. Crawford, in Leslie's.
 The members of the advisory commits sion of the national council of defense were not selected in advance as partic- ular heads of the various boards after ward formed. Upon organization, each member was assigned to that duty with which he was most familiar. and Bernard ence in copper and other ores, was made chairman of the raw materials commit tee. He has conducted his board with signal success. He originated a policy in handling of the contracts for the pur- chase of government supplies which has since been adopted by all the other mem bers of the commission. He organized each individual industry, having the mem- bers appoint a president and directors to manage their affairs. He then pur- chased directly from each organized in- dustry, allowing the members to pro rate the governmental orders among them selves. This plan has greatly simplified the nations business, and has enabled it to avoid confusion and delay.
 MT. Baruch has secured the confidence and cooperation of big business. has avoided all favoritsm and has placed the safe, accurate. economical and speedy basis. So that for the first time in any war. the conventional army contractors who have always amassed fortunes have been eliminated.

WOMEN OF ENGLAND ARE EMPLOYED AS COOKS IN ARMIES They Are Proving Success in This Line of Work.
 They Are More
 Economical

Headquarters of Women's Auxiliary Corps, Behind British Lines In France, August .-(Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press.)-One of the revolutions which the war has brought In the Brit women cooks to the camp kitchens every where except in the fighting lines.
 One of the great troubles of the Kitch- ener armies in the early days of the war was the inefficiency of the cooking ar engagements. Under the old regulations cooks had to be drawn from each unit, but owing to the inexperience of most of the citizen soldiers in this art, the food In most units, although plentiful and good, was badly cooked and badly. served, and the kitchens frequently dirty and slovenly In consequence, at time when young soldiers especially needed appetizing foods to strengthen them in their unwonted labors, many suffered se- verely from the monotonous and indi- gestible meals put before them. More over there was a great deal of waste
 The first women cooks in the British army were employed in August, 1915 at convalescent camp, and six months later the formal recruiting of women for this work was initiated. Today there are more than 5000 cooks and waitresses in 200 camps in England alone. Women have also taken over the kitchen serv- ice in all the Canadian and Australian hospitals, and women instructors are be- ing employed in the regular army schools of cookery. One woman who enrolled as cook two years ago and who Is now only p years old, has r1sen to the rank of superintendent and is responsible for the whole service in camp of 22,o0o men.
 The economy resulting from the em- ployment of women cooks has been very marked. In one large officers camp the daily messing charge was reduced with in a few weeks from 65 cents day to 31 cents and in addition a fund of $500 was saved for miscellaneous camp pur- poses. The rate at this camp Is now reduced to IS cents day.

electoral districts Unchanged, by the way, since 1860, in spite of an ever changing population) by means of electors chosen by the people. These electors must voice their choice by means of the open ballot, a thing which in itself offers opportunity for untold tyranny. Lest even with this cumbersome system of election the people should be able to voice their own will, a further and even greater restriction has been placed on the eX- ercise of the ballot by means of divid- ing the votes into three classes and making the value of each mans vote depend upon the amount of property he owns, As this method works out 3 per cent of the electorate have as much power in the choice of members to the landtag as has another ST per cent, comprising the third class of voters.
 The reforms to which socialists and other liberals in Prussia are attempt 1, Abolition of discriminations against the small taxpayer; 2. The introduc- tion of the secret ballot; 8. The re placing of indirect by direct elections, and f. A redistribution of seats in the landtag. Even though these reforms were enforced there would of course remain a wide gap between the Prus- sian government and any sort of de- mocracy, but at least the lower legis- lative house would represent the peo- pie, which is the first necessary stride forward.

 REGISTRATION BEARING FRUIT.
 The registration for war work conduct ed by the suffragists was such stu pendous undertaking that many persons were skeptica1 whether so many names and offers for service could be adequately handled. One glance at the efficient fil- inf system employed would convince the most unbelieving. This week. however, we have a practical example of the work ing system employed would convince the from the Red Cross for an enormous amount of knitted garments,
 To fill the need new workers from all over the city would be required. But no slow moving and elaborate campaign was needed Mrs. Lowell, head of the knitting department of the Red Cross, simply went to the war reg istration committee at suffrage head quarters and asked for knitters. One thousand volunteers. with names, ad- dresses and telephone numbers were found in the time 1t would take to find 10 under unorganized conditions. One thousand names carefully filed, whose owners are ready and eager for service, now await Mrs. Lovells call and the arrival of the wool at head quarters. This is only one example of the efficiency of registration. As the war progresses more and more 1t
  seriously intend to be used.
 Among other questions askedsof the various candidates for commissioner in this city, certain labor organizations propounded the following question: DO you pledge yourself if elected to appoint or retain in office and in the pay of the city government only qual filed voters and citizens of Alabama?" This apparently harmless question was no doubt expected to be answered af- f1rmatively. Yet, if it were carried out the entire school system and health and welfare department of the city would be disrupted, because women are not qualified voters. School teach CTS would have to go; that is, those who happened to be women; members of every department would suddenly be termed unfit for public service be- cause they were not born nen-and therefore were not qualified voters.
 Now. of course. the suffragists do not suppose for one moment that the bodies of men asking this question had in mind any idea of busting women from those departments of the city government in which they are em- ployed. Nor do they necessarily ques tion the wisdom of having only quail fled voters In the offices of the city. But the startling absurdity of disen- franchising one-half of the population merely because they are women. comes so clearly and unmistakably to light here that 1t might be worth while to calls attention to the facts, for tho benefit of those who asked the ques- tion for those who privilege 1t will be to answer 1t.

 FAREWELL BY SUFFRAGISTS
 The Birmingham Equal Suffrage asso- citation was invited by the Civic associa- tion to join in the public demonstration planned for the first quota of the drafted army on it's departure for training on last Wednesday. Packages of tobacco and matches-were prepared by a com n1ittee of suffragists, headed by Mrs. Angus Taylor, as gifts to the soldiers. These were presented to the boys at the station where a great crowd of men and women gathered to say good-by to Bir- mingham's first army, off for the front" The farewell speech "to those who go by those who are left behind" was most appropriately made by a suf- frage mother Mrs. Martinson. who her. self has two sons in the United States army. The suffrage association was as- sisted at the Terminal Station by a com- mittee from the Red Cross. The per sonnel of the woman's committee at the head of the patriotic demonstration in- cluded Mrs. Angus Taylor, Mrs. Lee Rust, Mrs. Roy Sterne, Mrs. Priestly Toulmin. Mrs. Brownlee, Miss Shapiro, Miss Sterne. Miss Taylor, Mrs. Nixon Norris and Mrs Pierce.
 MUST FULFILL NATIONAL PLEDGE.
 It will be remembered that the state of Alabama last August Q916) pledged it. self to the national organization to spend S10000 for suffrage in the state in one year, ending August, 1917. This pledge, similar to the ones made all over America, must now be reported upon to the head quarters of the national association. Ac- cording to the adaptations every cent actually expended for the suffrage cause may be counted, whether the money went through the hands of the treasuries of the association or not.
 Over s6000 of this pledge went through the hands of the various easuries. Three thousand dollars was made and spent by the Birmingham association alone. An accurate account of all other money spent by the individuals members of the Bir- mingham association for suffrage but not passing through the hands of the treas urer is requested. A report of every cent will be needed to make up tho deficit if Alabama Is going to be able to say that she has fulfilled her pledge.
 Let each member of the suffrage asso- citation make out a list of all incidental expenditures connected with her own suf- frage work and mail a signed copy of the same Ito Mrs Laura J. Davids

sLACKERS IN TRENCH AND
 KITCHEN

To the women soldiers:' Not all slackers are trench shy. Some are in the kitchens. It Is just as unpatriotic to be wastefuf in the kitchen and at the dining table as 1t is to claim exemption from government service through selfish motives. The army of women at home must help to win the war. No shirking. The breakfast table in America must ad- just its menu so that there may be food for the soldiers breakfast across the seas. No member of the family should be a stacker at the table, The United States calls on every housekeeper to en- ter It's service in conserving food, and especially In substituting for wheat and meat other foods that these may be sent abroad. Numberless experts on every side tell us what to do But with out the active cooperation of the in- dividuaf housekeeper. patriotic efforts will be wasted.
 The restaurant stacker is another menace. One should order with g. view to helping the government food problem. Suffragists have long wanted to be 8 part of the government and here is their opportunity to lead the way, and actual ly help in winning the war. this war which through all the suffering has brought home the meaning of democracy to so many peoples and may to them.

No inkling has come 80 far as 10 the To-
cation of the camps, with the exception
that at least two are definitely disposed
of, one in San Antonio and the other in
Oklahoma. 1t Is supposed that one will
be located Mt III Paso, leaving three others
to be located. Many South Texas towns
were applicants for the camps, among
them Brownsville. This city is believed to
have been given due consideration by the
committee, although no delegation was sent
to Fort Sam Houston to press Browns
vile's claims. This is said to have been
because citizens were assured that the mil
itary authorities were fully in touch with
the facilities here owing To the mobilization
of last summer. The matter was there
fore left in the hands Of the military com
mitee, with the assurance that Browns
vile was prepared to make any improve
menis necessary to secure the location of
a training camp.
