Organize Statisticians

The Adjutant Generals office is or
ganizing a complete new statistical
division of 200 officers and men to
keep track of all the men in the serv-

their condition to relatives at home.
The Adjutant General, nevertheless.
impresses upon soldiers and their rel

the soldier himself is the quickest
way to inform friends of his condi-
ton.
The new statistical division will be
made up from graduates of the Off

ed after special training. There will
be a central bureau at Washington
and representatives with each divi-
sion. regiment, company, hospital, and
at each camp and port.

passed away peacefully last night,
when the Federation of Citizens As
sociations, which conceived the
movement, held post-mOrtem ceTe-

Charles S. Shreve read the report
from the White House. to the dele

President Wilson was sufficient to
have the project. which blossomed
brightly a fortnight ago, declared
officially dead.
William Mex. Clayton and other
members Of the Federation then held
a forum discussion on the point
of whether the citizens of the Dis
triCt really want universal suffrage.
Mr.. Clayton. who has been a pi-
oneer in advocating votes for the
District, expressed a growing con-
viCtiOn that the best plan was the
line of least resistance, abandonment
OF the suffrage agitation and resig-
nation to a nationaliZed city.
Municipal Architect Snowden Ash

dents who have worked to make
the city a site of national beauty,
did not believe in giving the vote to
every Tom. Dick and Harry" He
did believe there should be a ref

Won't Give Up Fight.

that he had never lost faith in the
belief that the majority of the $50. 900

the south. We have the advantage of breeders located further north in that the stock we sell is acclimated and thrives from the start. Our Herefords are the best the world affords. We made a fine showing in competition the past fall, our first year at the fairs, but by the time for our next circuit of fairs we will make an inroad into the live stock game that others, no matter from what sec ton of the country they may hail, will have to go some to check. Instead of our fields being dotted with cotton fight ing the weevil for existence, we now have great herds of grunting hogs. It's a great game, but our customers are all satisfied, and it takes satisfied customers to make any business pay"

Probably no state in the union offers better field for general farming than does Alabama. By general I mean the various phases of tilling of the soil. Around Birmingham we have an unlim- ited opportunity for truck farms dairy herds and poultry plants. All of these lines are specialized in to some extent but not on a scale that the large con suming public of this locality demands In the truck line, probably. the district has a normal supply of small farms. But when We consider the enormous amount of poultry and eggs shipped into this district and consumed here yearly, it offers one of the best locations for poultry farms in the south. It is safe to say Birmingham alone could consume the out put of at least 50 more poultry farms. The lay of the country and lands about us is ideal; we have the sloping hill- sides so essential to the health of fowls; we have the gray chert that insures the absence of the gape worm, one of the most troublesome pests of the chicken; we have a climate that will allow the hen to do her best most all the year. During the few bad months, if properly housed and scratch pens provided, the egg yield can then be held to normal. The eggs consumed here in Birmingham and the surrounding territory alone run into the money valuation of several millions year ly. This money is sent away to other states-states that have cold, severe win ters to combat in, the poultry business. The poultry game is one that requires ex- perience and training to make it suc- cess on g. large scale, but if there are not enough local fanciers to undertake to fill this want, why not bring in few experts and show them what resources we ,have at our very door?
 DAIRY AS FIELD
 Tn the dairy business We have some hundred or more dairies which partially supply the consuming public of 'Birming- ham. But this is merely an indention into the needs of Birmingham housekeep- ,ers. Tons of butter are shipped into this scity each. year; and still more tons of "oleo" Since the price of butter ranges around 45 cents,' great deal of this sub stitute is used. This would be cheaper if the 10-cent tax was removed by, Con sress, and Senator Underwood is now trying to put a bill through which would cut this tax to- cents instead of 10 cents. This would mean big cut at retail, and probably a stroke toward the breaking of the butter trust, which is charged with arbitrarily fixing prices. And again, why cant we, have a creamery for this dis trict This would stimulate the dairy

 One industry leads into another. We can

lstate back more than anything else. We have depended on this ignorant, lazy and worthless labor too long already. With improved farm machinery now on the market and the large number of experts solving the many problems heretofore blocking progress, we may hope in the next few years to see great strides in both trucking and farming on an exten- sive scale.
 Land for trucking around Birmingham will be in much greater demand if the proposed canning factory now being pushed by the Chamber of Commerce is made reality. This would solve the problem which has confronted the 400 or 800 small farmers in Jefferson county in

Bucharest's Parisian Pose

Every now and then, during these nervous days, an open touring car whizzed down the Calea Vittorei, and one caught a glimpse of the beautiful Queen. Once I saw her whirling in from the country just as the whistles were wailing, alone in the back seat, looking skyward like everybody else, shading her eyes with a little purple fan. No queen in Europe more looks the part. Tall, stately, yet always enveloped in a certain air of romance, she might have stepepd from one of those stories of imiganary Balkan
