British Gun Losses in
Present Battle Are
Already Made Good

London, April 25.-The British have
lost nearly 1000 guns, between 1000 and
5000 machine guns and the total man
ufacture of ammunition of between one
week and three weeks since the pres
ent battle in France began, Winston
Spencer Churchill, minister of NUM-
tions, told the House of Commons to-
day. All these losses have been made
good.
The munitions ministry, said Mr..
Churchill placed at the disposal of
air and ground services more than
twice the number of guns lost or de-
stroyed in the battle in France. There
were now, he added, actually more
serviceable guns as whole. and more
variety of calibre, than there were
when the battle begun.
Mr.. Churchill said airplanes were be-
ing produced more rapidly now than
trained pilots were and that every tank
lost was repaced b va new and better
one.

Washington, April 25.-(Special)-Th
war government is so deeply interested
in Alabama politics that Mr.. Huddleston,
representing the Jefferson county dis
trict, consumes time to present the
the same time to speak well of himself
and in sharp criticism of his enemies.
Mr.. Huddleston delivered his address
Monday afternoon. His speech will be
franked out at the expense of the gov
eminent, according to his admission, and
thus the government will be forced to
bear the financial burden of an indi-
vidual it pays to serve it. His address,
in no wise bearing on subjects before
Congress and in no respect containing
matter in which the government is in
terested was delivered even as patriots
throughout the nation were urging Con-
gress to abandon it's wasteful habit of
rall talk and get down to real bust
ness.
sented an excuse for his contemplated
purpose of franking at government ex-
pense his private and personal campaign
literature. His excuse was his conten-
ton that he has no newspaper and there
fore cannot reach the ear of the public
save at the expense of the government
His speech consisted principally of an
attack against the three Birmingham
newspapers The editors of two of them,
he mentioned. He chaged that one of
them was liar The editor of the
other he bitterly assailed, but not so
crudely. The Ledger he attempted to be-
| little, intimating in one paragraph that
! it was dead.
| ON himself he spoke handsomely.
| Throughout the entire diatrbe there was
a religious. deeply moral tone. phe
speaker admitted that he, assailed on all
sides by his enemies, placed confidence
in Gods determination that fair play
shall prevail. His alleged intimacy with
| the Omnipotent was comparable only to
that of the Kaiser who frequently refers
to the partnership which he has permit
ted God to form with him.
He referred to the existence in Bir-
mingham of an alleged aristocracy. He
declared that the United States Steel
corporation was the god of this aristoc-
racy. He denied that he was socialist,
or pro-German. He charged that the
man who would be elected to succeed
him would be a rubber stamp congress-
man, and he expressed pity for the dis
trict when some other than he was its
representative. 1t was his point that
| those against him did not want repre-
sentative who spoke largely and influen-
/ TALLY for all the people. as he intimated
that he had done and was doing-and
only he could continue to do.
! Mr.. Huddleston delivered his address
when the House was debating bill au-
| thorizing certain individuals to make
purchases from the commissaries of the
! army. He was granted five minutes by
Mr. Johnson of Kentucky, who hat
charge of the BILL In his address he
referred in no instance to, the pending
legislation. He simply broke into thu

Little Baby Suffers
from Itching Eczema
Healed by Cuticura

MY baby was about eleven months
old when eczema came on his face.
II first came in red, rough-looking
splctehes causing much Disagreement
and pain. 1t then came in little bis
texs and the skin was sore and red.
The breaking out itched and burned
and he could not sleep, and he
scratched his face so that had to tie
his hands.
II tried several medicines but in
stead of being relieved he gotworse, and
it went on until he was two and half
wears old. Then sent for free sam
pie ,of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
I used il for two weeks and his face
was so much better that ! purchased
more, and one cake of Cuticura Soap
with one half box of Cuticura ONT

thriller.
So, although we may not be able to
tell Jacobean from Georgian in fur
nishings, we alwaysA know the Egyp-
tian motif when we see it. The lotus
flower is almost as familiar as Erin's
shamrock. And whenever it appears as
an influence in our household deco
rations we welcome it as an old friend
and one easily recognized.
This year there is a strong Egyptian
element in household furnishings. 1t
is a year of varied influences in
clothes fashions so it is an eclectic
period in interiors. We do not stick
so closely to one period as we used 20,
but we go here and there and COM
bine such elements as we like from
various historic backgrounds.
From Egypt we have got some OF
the best of the spring designs in
chintzes and cretones. Some of them
show Egyptian mural decorations.
They are worked out cleverly in the
red and yellow of Egypt with a plen-
tiful use of black and white.
| Some of the new chintzes show the
conventional lotus flower in Egyptian
colorings modified a little to harmon
| ize the more with modern interiors. We
| have been told that the primary colors
were the ones used in ancient Egypt
| but in these modern chintzes purple is
sometimes used. However, purple, Of
| a rich violet shade seems quite as
| Egyptian as do the authentic colors
| to US moderns. 1t is no stretch of the
| imaginations to picture the queen Of
! the Nile herself in garment of pur-
rle georgette crepe, so subtly suitable
do the color and the fabric seem to
| her personality.

THE women are real busy with
their booths for the fair in Oc-
tober and all the way through

tober and all the way through
they are "Hooverizing," said Mrs ]. b.
Reid, superintendent of the woman's de-
partment. This feature Of the fair IS
alone worth the gate admittance. The
women of Alabama are designating the
varied industries of the home through
this booth making-which is an original
idea of the woman's department of the
Alabama State Fair. Other fairs have
seen their value and are adopting the
plan. I have always felt keen disap-
pointment, though, upon the visits of
Governor and Mrs. Henderson to the
fair. They see the pigs, the chickens
and agriculture, but they have failed to
see what our women are doing with
their hands-but this year IS homes are
going to be built and equipped completely
as examples of our thrift and home
spirit. I will soon be able to give you
complete list of these very busy women
and list of the prizes offered this
year"
