PRESIDENT WILSON
 STREET OR RUE ]"
 KNOWN IN PARIS

Paris, June 26.-(Havas Agency)- The municipal council of Paris today decided to change the name of the Avenue Trocadero to that of "Avenne President Wilson," Street signs bear ing the new name will be placed in position on the Fourth of July.
 The municipal council of Paris meet ing in budget committee today, voted unanimously by exclamation that the Avenue TrOcadero should henceforth bear the name of President Wilson. 1t was also decided that the name plates should be in place before the Fourth of July. The vote, as a formnIity, must. under the law, be approved in n public meeting.
 The Rue Du Luxembourg was re- christened the Rue Guynemer, after Capt. George Guynemer, the famous French aviator who was killed in sp aerial battle last September. The ave- nue leading from Alexander HI bridge to the InvaIides was renamed the Ave- nue General Gallieni in honor of the military governor of Paris, who diea in May, 191S.
 The council. in honoring President Wilson, suspended one of its own repu- latfons forbidding the use of names of living persons in naming streets.

Henderson Calls Meetings
 To Discuss Labor Problems

Montgomery, June 26-(Special)--Go ernor Henderson today issued proclama- tlon calling meetings for the early part of July in six centers of Alabama for the consideration of grave problems aris- ing from the lack of labor on the farms and in industries essential to the war The first meeting will be held at Mo- bile July s, and the others will be in the following order: Montgomery, July g; Birmingham, July 10; Decatur July Il; Gadsden, July F: Tuscaloosa, July 13.
 The proclamation followed 8 prelimin- ary meeting here Wednesday when Cliff Williams Of Aberdeen, Miss, superin- tendent of the Sixth district for the fed eIal employment service and George B. Tarrant of Birmingham, federal direc- tor for Alabama. delivered addresses
 MT Williams said it was necessary to eliminate the labor agent, who is shipping labor from one factory or plant to an- other at so much per head and keeping about 5 per cent of the labor continually moving from one plant to another. He warned the farmers that some uniform system must be worked out at once if t''air crops are to be harvested this fall.
 After the meetings are held census of labor will be taken in the state Every essential industry will be listed so labor may be shifted at any time from nonessential plants to essential ones.

Perils of the High Heel

From the Ionplar Science Monthly. At enc of the recent sessions of the Academy of Medicine of Paris an in- tercstirg communication upon the sub- ject of high heels was submitted by Prof Ouenu and Dr. Menard. closing with the ominuus warning: Ladies, if you value your health. give up the nigh heels of ou: shces!'
 Several years seo Dr. Dabron. a noted French physician. called atten- tion to the injur .ous effects of wear in,, high heels. hut his warning maee but little impression. Since then, how ever, Ire subject has been more thor oughly studied with the aid of X-rays and moving pictures by Quenu and Menard These two investigators have found that an unnatural strain Is placed upon the muscles and tendons of tre foot. as well as upon leg mus cles forced to accommodate themselves to the task of maintaining the equili- .brium ct body unnaturally raised by the heels. The strain caused by this effort Is so Er.at that fatigue is ex- perie need even after a short walk
 The effects of wearing high heels are even farther reaching than was suspected heretofore The change of the position of the foot disturbs the equilibrium of -hc whole body. As there is tendency to bend the knees the upper part of the body. the head and chest. is thrown back. while the abdomen is forced forward beyond it's norma. position. The physicians state that the disturbances caused by the wearing of high hccls. the disarransc- rent of the articulated bones of the fo and the throwing out of their nor nal position Of the different parts or the body arc serious enough but that .n walking these effects are so aggra- va.ed that they produce the most seriy ous internal disorders

in troop shipments, the allied vessels being withdrawn then to carry foodstuffs and munitions needed in France and England. It is now indicated they wi4l not be withdrawn before July.
 This probably explains the proposed schedule of mobilization read into the Senate record by Senator Chamberlain, showing q declining rate after August when the July withdrawals for shipment from the cantonments would have been made good.
 The table shows q total strength in Glass 1 of 2,362.0S2; deductions of 234, ,634 for delinquents; s6,77O for the emergency fleet list; 215,5%9 for limited service classification and 50,26S for remediable detectives. leaving 1,7f4,S71 fighting men of those originally placed in Class l. To that number it was estimated 100000 will be added by the reclassification process now go- ing on, and 4000 900 from the class of 1918 to be drawn tomorrow.
 With the July call deducted, the table fixed 8.7,359 as the number of availaples left in the fighting ranks of Class 1 and the estimated calls for the rest of the year are placed at total of 75,o0o. which would leave 2000 men still in the class January l, 1919 The calls for 1918 are given as August soO,0oO; September, 15c,oo0, October, 10000; November, 150000 anu December, 125,00o.
 1t was pointed out during the Sem ate debate that these figures prepared by General Crowder seemed to show sufficient number of men to fill any calls now planned and that apparent ly an estimate of 150,000 additional men to be obtained by the draft treat ies with France and Great Britain IA1 %l- on appeal which, 1t was said, 95 per cent would go int Class L It was noted, also, that 215,000 men available for limited military service had been deducted from the total of Class 1, although it is understood men of this classification are included in the calls.
 Many senators were puzzled by the figures It appears possible, however, and Secretary Baker and other war department officials are known to share this view, that in fact, if the present scheme of mobilization is car- ried out, there will remain in Class under the present age limits, several hundred men instead of 2000 January 1. Probably it is this fact which prompted the recomT that the age limits be not disturbed for the present.
 MT. Baker has started a careful study of the probable effect upon essential in dustries the application of the draft to men of more than 31 years would have. That has not been completed, It is re- garded as obvious, however, that only approximately small number of fight ing men could be derived from this source while an enormous amount of labor would be involved in the registration and classification of all men between Is and 45 years of age as proposed.
 It was also recalled that the original selective draft bill submitted by MT. Ba- ker proposed 19 as the minimum age. and he has frequently stated he had not changed his opinion that the bulk of the fighting forces should come from the young men, an opinion also strongly held by the general staff officials.

Martin Asks Senate to
 Recede from It's Stand

Washington, June 26.-Senator Martin, of Virginia, majority leader of the Sen ate, introduced a resolution today direct ing the Senate conferees on the annual agricultural appropriation bill to recede from the Senate amendment providing for government minimum guarantee of $2.50 a bushel for wheat. He announced that he would ask vote on the resolu- ton tomorrow.
 The House managers had refused to ac- cept the amendment and deadlock on the bill resulted.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-27

MT. Baker disclosed the new plans in explaining his reasons for opposing any change now in the draft age limits. Later, during general debate in the Senate chamber, figures were disclosed showing the great strides being made toward bringing American fighting power to the front in France.
 General March, chief of staff already has announced the army is five months ahead of schedule in troop movements, 900,000 men having been sent abroad Dur ing the debate today, however, it was disclosed that if the highest hopes are realized 1,450000 men will have reached France sometime in August, and there will be total force under arms of ap- proximately 3,500000. A statement read into the Senate record by Senator Cham berlain, chairman of the military com mittee, predicted Class 1 probably would be exhausted during October and would be reduced to GALES men by calls to be made before August 1.
 Secretary Baker and General March were positive the reservoir of fight Ing man power would meet all calls upon it under the best possible conditions of mobilization and transportation until Congress has an opportunity to take ID extensions later, with the data now be- ing compiled by the war department at hand.
 The question of available shipping 70 haul the men to France is the vital fac tor. At present much British and French tonnage is employed on the work as unusually good crops in England have already made ships available weeks loLg- CT than was expected.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE STILL IN BALANCE
 IN J. s. SENATE
Many Factors Will Enter Into Question of Final
 Vote as Outlined

Washington, June 26.-Final ar engagements for consideration tomor- row by the Senate of the House reso- lution proposing submission of wom- an suffrage amendment to the federal constitution were completed today, but whether a final vote would be reached appeared to be uncertain. Two factors which some senators said might force the vote over until Friday were the array appropriation bill and the pairing of senators for and against the resolu- tion. Many senators are anxious to dis
 pose of the $12,000, 100000 army meas ure as speedily as possible so as to hasten the proposed recess of Congress and Senator Chamb erlain, chairman of the military committee, at a conference late today with Senator Hollis of New Hampshire, one of the suffrage leaders, refused to set aside the measure if protracted debate occurs on the suf- frage resolution. The army bill has right of way in the Senate and, under the rules, would come up tomorrow at ? o'clock automatically and close fur ther consideration of the suffrage reso- lution if vote Is not reached by that time. Senator Hollis said every effort would be made to keep the resolution before the Senate until disposed of .even if the Senate is held until mid night"
 Inability of senators opposing the resolution to secure pairs with mem bers supporting it also threatened Il fight to defer vote Senator Martin, majority leader, declared tonight op- ponents would prevent a vote tomor- row unless the suffrage leaders ar rage pairs for several opponents who are unable to be present for a roll. call. Suffrage supporters were loath, in view of the admitted closeness of the vote. to deplete their strength by supplying the necessary pairs, as two- thirds vote is required and in pairing. two advocates of the resolu- tion are required to pair with but one opponent.
 With vote tomorrow uncertain, in- terest in the fight over the resolution increased Seats in the Senate gal leries were at a premium tonight and an early rush was regarded assured Large blocks of admission tickets were given to womens organizations which have been fighting for the resolution.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-27

to placing the minimum age below 70, but it was regarded as probable tonight that eventually mutual compromise would be effected satisfactory both to Congress and administration officials, un- der which the draft would cover men between 20 and 35 years, possibly up to 40; and, in addition, there would be writ ten into the law an application of the work or fight principle, already inau- gurated by General Crowder among the draft eligibles that would reach even older men, possibly up to 50 years.
 It was brought out today that no sec- tion of the country enjoys any advan- tage because of the new basis of assess ing draft quotas on quota 1 instead of population. The strength of Class in the south is figured at 31.7 per cent in the west at 2S.9 per cent; in the north at 26.4 per cent, and in the middle west at 29.1 per cent
