At meeting OF the Vermont Sum
day school association at Bellows
Falls resolution was put through in
favor. OF the League, of Nations with
out amendment or reservation It IS
by things like these that the promet-
ers OF the movement confess the
weakness OF their cause. The Ben
nington Fortnightly club put itself IN
the same ridiculous position last
spring before The league covenant
was even made public. a resolution
prepared in advance was sprung on
the club and adopted without discus
sion or consideration and now the
Fortnightly is on record as favoring
the league through there is no reason
to believe that the resolution adopted
at all represents the membership now
that the facts are better-known and
better understood. We gravely doubt
il the resolution adopted by the Yer
mont Sunday school delegates at the
urging Of few idealists represents
the views of one quarter of the Sun
day school teachers and pupils In Yer
mont old enough to consider the ques.
ton on its merits and qualified to vote

However Senators Page and Dilling-

public life to be fooled by little

This country is said to be facing a
sugar famine and it is now charged
up to prohibition, Gradually cutting
out the use Of liquors has largely in
creased the use OF soda and other
sweetened drinks as well as coffee
and candy. Up to October 1st this
country has used half million more
tons of sugar this year than in any
preceding similar period. This is just
about the amount exported during the
amount exported during the past few
months. Just now while food short
age is so serious in Europe this coun,
try is in honor bound to do what ii
can to supply the deficiency, even IL
we have to ration ourselves, but the
time is coming when the United
States will have to limit the exportal
tion of foodstuffs that cur own people
may be assured of enough.

PLEASED TO HAVE
 THRIFT SOCIETY

We are very pleased to have the social science department of the T. c. |. headauarters In the BrownMarx build ing organized into thrift society" said Mrs. Richard Johnston. We have from the beginning had the hearty co-opera- ton of this splendid body of women. but until this week they were not organized for systematic saving. Miss Winnifred Collins, head of the department in the city office, is president of the society, and Miss McGregor IS secretary.
 Miss Collins has again this year taken the thousand dollar limit as member of the Thousand Dollar club I thor oughly believe in the War Savings Stamp as an investment, said Miss Col lins, and l think organized thrift by the societies such as the government is rec omemnding and as our state Is develop ing, is splendid. l hope and believe that our entire department in all the diyi- sions will take up the idea and will or ganize the societies.
 'Of course, when we are so universally getting the cooperation and active as- sistance of women like Miss Collins. and the many other splendid women of Ala bama in this thrift movement, we feel that we are going to have thrifty peo ple and that we will eventually if not now thoroughly imbibe the woman's slo- gan for Alabama, Buy what you need. Save what you should and invest what YOU can.

REDUCE SPEED AT
 ALL CROSSINGS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 An article appeared in The Age Herald few days ago. in which Chief Shirley asked for the cooperation of the citi- zens to assist him in the prevention of speeding automobiles ap>l the consequent loss of life and injuryto our people.
 see so many violation, of the traffic ordinance and narrow escapes from ac- cidents resulting therefrom I am prompt ed to write this letter, For illustration. we will take northbound street car which has just stopped at Thirteenth street and Tenth avenue to unload pas sengers. some of whom are passing around the front end of the car to reach the opposite side of the street. Al auto approaches going in the same direction at high speed, and instead of waiting until the road is clear of passengers, or passing to the right, where passengers are in plain view, they cut around to the left and just miss hitting passenger who has gone around the front end of the car as stated above.
 An auto coming south at high speed narrowly escapes hitting those who have passed around the rear of the street car. am of the opinion that the best way to prevent so many accidents is to re- quire all autos to reduce speed at all street intersections to such point as will make accidents the exception in stead of the rule. Yours for safety,
 c. D. AIRES.

Manager Everett's Surprise

Loew's Bijou. There was young fel- low in the hotel a few nights ago here in Toledo. who came up to me and asked me if l was Tex Rickard. I told him I was and rather peremptorily dismissed him, thinking he was just some busy body who wanted to talk about the ap- preaching fight He then pulled out of his pocket copy of The Age-Herald and said: I thought you might be interested
 in this Then he showed me the story that Dolly Dalrymple had written about you. in which she spoke of you as my former secretary, and told of your going to Birmingham to live. I asked the young fellow if he was from Birmingham, and 1t turned out that he was. He had bought an Age-Herald up here in this part of the country and there found the story
 Speaks well for The Age -Heralds cir culation,' said MT. Everett "I at once wrote to MT.

MARINE LEAGUE TO
 OPEN OFFICES HERE
Birmingham Selected as Southern Headquarters for the National Organization
Birmingham has been named southern headquarters for the National Marine

Birmingham has been named southern headquarters for the National Marine league.
 Tn a letter to Mrs. L. B. Parsons, eouthern representative. received re- gently, it was stated that the selection was made considering Birmingham as the industrial center of the south, ideally located to develop sentiment and dissem- mate information The letter adds thai offices are to be opened here early in the fall. Work of the league in the south is now directed from Louisville, Ky.
 '"The National Marine league is pa triotic organization, and in sense sen- tmental one too,n said Robert A. Love, who is interested in the work of the league But the powers that be- be- hind the league were not moved by mere sentimental considerations in selecting a location for southern Headquarters The officers of the league are well informed business men, hence, when iS came to selecting place for their second south ern headquarters. they chose Birming- ham, the city with an annual expor! business amounting to $20, 900 OO0.'

Judges of Criminal Division Rule on the
 New Sentence Law

Not less than the minimum and more than the maximum sentence specified by the code may be imposed as an interme- diate sentence. according to construc- ton placed on the new Alabama inter- mediate law by Judges William E. Fort and Harrington P. Heflin of the crimi- nal divisions of the circuit court. In their version they state that the court has the right to fix an intermediate sen tence within the limits of the penalty provided by the code.
 The ruling of the judges agrees with the opinions of many of the criminal lawyers who have expressed themselves after study of the act. The interme- diate sentence law has caused much dis cussion around the courthouse, and it is stated that this ruling is in conformity with decisions of other circuit courts of the state. Tie supreme court has not given out a ruling on the law, so thjs construction will be followed until tNe higher court rules.
