BUY COAL WHILE. SUN SH|NES"- "-SNEAD

Shop early and avoid the ehills of winter is the advice that is being given the people of the land by L. A. Snead, assistant to United States Fuel Administrator Garfield of Washington, D. C.. who was in Birmingham for q few hours last night following meet ing of the state fuel administration workers, held at Anniston yesterday. S. F. Kennedy, state fuel administra- tor, and Frank Fowlkes. chairman of the Jefferson county fuel board. were highly complimented by Mir. Snead for their efficient work. He stated that practically all of the various boards of the state were represented.
 We will have to lay in our coal supply while the sun shines this year." stated MT. Snead while talking to an Age-Herald representative at the Tut wiler last night The consumer is go- ing to have to aid the administration by laying in an ample supply of coal for home consumption during the summer to last throughout the win ter. Mines require the dealer to pay Immediately for all orders and unless they do so they cannot get the coal. They cannot lay in a supply for the e1Ilre population ana IL IS neither just nor fair that they should be ex- pected to do so. It is the individual consumer that must do his part t1 prevent repetition Of the coal famine that was narrowly averted this past winter.
 There will be an even greater pro- duction than last year. but it must also be considered that there will De increased demands made this year. Do not let the production of the mines slacken up during the summer. While the transportation facilities will be much better this winter, transportation in the winter is always at a greater disadvantage than in the summer months for obvious reasons.
 Tt is to be hoped that the cooper ation of the people will be received during this summer in order that our undivided attention may be turned to supplying the government needs dur ing the winter months. There is no danger that even a temporary shut down will have to be made during the coming winter"

Doctors SayCalomel
 Is Best Medicine

According to the worlds greatest physicians and medical experts calomel is the best and most universally useful of all medicines. Medical authorities prescribe calomel for almost every dis ease and explain that it is the best and surest of all system purifiers. They say that calomel cleanses the liver, stom- ach, bowels and kidneys and purifies the blood from all poisons, making the system pure and clean so that nature can quickly restore the health.
 Now that science has purified calo- mel of all it's nauseating and danger ous qualities, the new kind of calomel called "Calotabs," is even more popu- lar than the old. As liver cleanser and system purifier Calotabs are more effective than the old style calomel, yet are entirely delightful in effect. One Calotab at bedtime with a swa1- low of water--that's all No nausea nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next morning you awake feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast Eat what you please and go where you please--there is no restriction of habit or diet. Aa

WOMEN CAUGHT IN
 DRAGNET ON TRIAL
Attorney Denies That Bir- mingham Is Bad" City
 and Asks for Fairness

A pitiable scene was enacted yesterday morning in the division of the municipal court presided oyer by Judge II. B. Abernethy when a number of women caught in the cleanup" dragnet in the crusade against vice in this city were brought before the bar of justice to an- swer for their 'crimes." The general charge against the defendants was va grancy, which, like charity, covers multitude of sins, or, rather large number of offenses under the law.
 In the defense of one of the accused, Hollis Parrish, well known attorney, made an impassionate appeal for fair ness in dealing with these derelictS of society. In his opening remarks he de- nied the charge that Birmingham was bad" city at the present time, and made some startling comparisons of the city of q few years ago, when saloons, the restricted district and gambling dens were tolerated, stating that today tEese conditions no longer exist.
 The city and county authorities recognized for the time being the segre- gated district and allowed these women to ply their trade unrestricted,' said MT Parrish. Then under the name Of reform they drove them from their abiding place to settle anywhere in the to"h WiiSAC llcy IOQlu llilu e pAdCS u lay their head, and now they are bounded because they live with their kind. l ask the court what other kind could they get to live with them?"
 MT. Parrish concluded his argument by reciting poem depicting the lo1 of a fallen woman who in vain looked for earthly sympathy, but found the peace and consolation in heaven that had been denied 10 her on earth.
 In the f11aiorifv If ooSao T,tdoa nethy, who is recognized as one of the pest judges of human nature on the bench today, discharged the defendants, and in keeping with his policy he warned them to obey the law in the future.
 several local ministers were present at the trial of these women and gave close attention to the testimony as it was presented. At the conclusion of the court they had conference with Judge Aoernethy and it is understood an ef- fort will be made through them to nro- Vlde a place, other than the prison cell, where these women may be sent and reclaimed if possible

Further progress of the enemy was halted by strong fire from the Ameri- can first and second lines, and, as consequence, the enemy can hardly claim success.
 Because of the topography of the Mouse heights region, there has been lit tie severe fighting there for many months, and the opposing forces took advantage to construct fine dugouts. many of them being lighted by cleo tricity Each side enjoys the advantage of excellent observation posts, and shells echo among the surrounding hills, which are covered with spring flowers.
 The other American sectors were re- ported quiet today. The Germans sent in few shells in the sector northwest of Toul, but the enemy airplanes were fair ly active in patrolling.
