FRENCH ORCHESTRA.
 WILL APPEAR HERE
Music Study Club to Com plete Plans for Appearance
 of Symphony Orchestra

Birmingham is to have the opportunity of hearing the famous Paris Conserva- tcry orchestra on the night of October 2. At least, it seems all but settled.
 At an adjourned conference of business men and representatives of the Music study club interested in the appearance of the orchestra here, held in the Cham Der of Commerce yesterday afternoon. the impression obtained that Loew's Bijou theatre could be secured for the occa- sion. M
 While no reply to the teiegraphic mes- sage addressed to Marcus Loew in New York, asking that his theatre here be made available for the date referred to. it was learned that A. E. Schiller. Loew's S general southern manager, would arrive in the city within the next few days and that he would have full authority to grant the request of the conference.
 So sure was Pierre Van Ranssaeler Key, who has been in Birmingham sev- eral days as the representative of the French high commission and the French American association, under whose aus pioes, the orchestra will visit the prin- cipal cities of the United States, that the Bijou would be secured, he arranged de. tails with the Music Study club and left last night for New Orleans, where two concerts will be given-Ootoher 24 and 25. The civic associations have prom ised the women of the club cordial sup port
 As was stated in yesterdays Age-Her- aid, the coming of the orchestra hinged upon the matter of securing the Bijou. The Jefferson theatre was not available, and owing to the limited seating capacity of other show houses, they were not considered.
 The capacity of the Bijou is such that scale of prices from sl to S25o would yield sufficient revenue to meet all ex- ponses, including $200o for the orchestra. and leave q substantial sum for the Red Cross, which is to be the beneficiary in every instance.

STREET NAMED IN
 SEVENTH DISTRICT
Will Make Race for Congress on Re- publican Ticket Against John
 l.. Burnett

Gadsden, August 2S,--tSpeciall--A res olution was offered and adopted by the Seventh district republican convention which in the main pledged the support of the republicans of the Seventh con gressional district to the administration in the prosecution of the war and con- demned the actions of the present con- gressman in his opposition to the war measures of the administration.
 The Seventh district republican con- vention today had two candidates for Congress to oppose John L. Burnett, the present incumbent, They were Oliver D.. Street of Guntersville and Sumter Cogswell of Pell City
 On a roll call of counties. MT Street received oS votes and MT. Cosswell re- ceived %. Mir. Cogswell then took the floor and in a ringing speech pledged his support to Mir. Street and at the same tune flayed MT. Burnett. pointing out the fact that in his nearly 20 years of service in Congress Mir. Burnett had procured nothing more for his district than few postoffice buildings. On mn- ton hy MT, Cogswell the nomination of NIT, Street was made unanimous.
 This promises to be one of the hardest fought campaigns ever fought out be- tween the two political parties fin this dlstrict as great many of the lead ing democrats from all parts of the dis trict sent word by the delegates that they would support Mir. Street in the Mo- yember battle of ballots
 MT. Street, in very modest way, ac- eepted the nomination, stating that the republicans must not underestimate the strength of their adversary, who is a skilled politician, saying that there would be no mud singing but the campaign would be conducted on the highest plane possible.

 LABOR TURNOVER
 Think of it. That Is labor turnover per year of about 750 per cent. In other words, say Birmingham industry ein ployed 11Go iuen under similar conditions It would have to hire in one year to maintain it's working force, about 'oo9 men. Actual figures have shown that it costs from S45 to S200 and $S0o to hire a man in industry, the exact amount de- pending upcn the nature and skill of the work to be done. The financial loss Is enorm JUS, but more important than that at the present time, and especially in shipbuilding, is the enormous loss ot |, time.
 That's what suits the Kaiser. If he could hear scme one recite these figures he would shake his sides with glee. And the pity Of it is that the average man is so slow to realize the consequence of these actions He is making good money. more than he ever made in his life. He feels Independent. If some slight disci- pline is necessary by his boss, or it gets too hot, or he can't find a suitable house to live in, hs simply packs up his to1is and eiimEs on the next train out of town.
 HELPING THE KAISER
 "He krows he can get good job at almost any place he cares to stop Be sides he enjoys seeing the country. And the last thing perhaps to enter his nina is that ne is hitting a good lick for the Kaiser and not against him.
