"The Midnight Patrol" superior pro duction, will be shown at the Alcazar theatre next week for the benefit of the new police gymnasium to be installed in the city hall.
 The picture has been extensively adver- tised during the past several weeks, and several thousand tickets have been sold. Interest of the public about the picture has been shown.
 Danger has ever been a lure and the production is chuck full of hair-raising scenese from beginning to end, it is de- clared SIt vividly portrays actions of the so-called underworld in the dark hours of the night, while the dreams of the masses remain undisturbed, and the di- rect and indirect methods used by the police in suppressing crime are shown Scenes are presented in which the officers raid "hop joints and other such places Critics who have viewed the picture ac- claim it incomparable in many respects. The tickets are on sale at police head quarters and by all patrolmen.

those days women were used to or prac- ticed in public speaking as they are today, yet she was coming repidly into fame as a speaker, choosing her words daintily from the pure Anglo-Saxon. with voice that had carrying power; while Mrs. Woodruff, the woman of Wall street, was timid when she got on her feet but bold enough in private counsel.
 I give the following paragraph, for I daresay few know anything about the senator referred to, or in fact will find out much ab out him in any of our Alabama histories, for in the dark days after the war, he was one, of the six men, who in 1868, not one of whom had lived in Alabama before the war, were sent to represent the state in the lower house, and the two senators, Warner and Spencer, were likewise strangers in Alabama
 Here Is what "Olivia" wrote and she approved the carpetbaggers. Senator Warner of Alabama, presided at this session (the last days); but, as it is feared that, sooner or later, he will become a woman, a description of his person may not be out of place. Ori- ginally he must have been as plump as a Baldwin apple; but the exigencies of the war and senatorial duties must have had trying effect upon him. Already signs are visible of his shrinking in size, yet abundance of material is left for all family purposes. A pleasant sound Issues from the side of his head which Susan B.

To Scrub or Not to Scrub

 Louise c. Odencrantz in World Out look.
 What are we going to do with the woman worker?
 That question is staring many an employer in the face. now that the war is over. The soldier must have his job back Nobouy questions that. But what is to be done with the wo- man who has done his work while he has been away? Is she to have no work at all or is she to be given only the dishpan and the scrubbing brush with which to make her living? It is easy to say 'Let her go back to the place where she was before the war" But can she go there? And will she go there? Ther~ are women who haven't any homes to go back to- There are other women who will not be satisfied with their old jobs.
 The war has exproded the theory that women are tolerated in industry to earn pin money. The woman work CT has been recognized as an integral part of industry necessary to the wei fare of the country. War needs brought out the dependence of the world upon women, not alone as mothers. nurses and home makers, but also as industrial workers for the sec ond line of defense. They helped pro- vide the men on the firing lines with munitions, food and clothing, and did their share in the upkeep of necessary industries
 Is there clear cut line between 'mens" work and "women's' work The answer which the war has given us. is yes-and mo- Blind prejudice and custom has given way before the facts. But there are lines of work for which men are better fitted than wo- men-at least so long as social and in- dustrial conditions are what they are today. It has been found not feasible to have young women employed as messengers at night. A gas company employed women as readers of meters, but replaced them as soon as possible with men. as it was unwise to send women into all neighborhoods. Those were social reasons. On the physical side, it is unwise to have women work on street railways at night, exposed for long hours to all kinds of weather. Lead poisoning. often contracted in chemical work in factories. is especial ly serious for women.
 Why do women who have done what has been known as "men's'' work pre- fer 1t to the occupations which have been considered their own. For one thing, it is better paid. It is usually more interesting. It ofteptimes brings more freedom with it. Her industrial experience has unfortunately from the standpoint of the housewife) shown the former domestic the advantages os regular work day. of living at home and of leading an independent life. Luring her back into homework can be done only by offering similar at fractions.
 The employer if he is to have a ! place for the soldier who returns may be compelled to sacrifice the woman ! worker. If she is of the right spirit she will see the justice of this. even If i stepping aside means stepping down | for her. The time of readjustment is | always hard. But in time business will | have made the readjustment With . the return of prosperity and the ac- i companying need of the best work which everyone can do. women will be | called back to work side by side with men in open and equal competition f and cooperation.

 Representative w. H. Shaw, known as one of the youngest representatives in the United States and the youngest ill the Alabama house, is from Colbert coun- ty, where the voters elected such men as Edward B. Almon and A. H. Car michael to represent them during the 'old days" Both of the latter at one time or another were speaker of the house, and MT. Shaw is facing a huge task of doing as well in the legislature as Messrs. Almon and Carmichael
 However, he has started well. He championed the Weakley bone-dry bill in the house and the bill bears his name. During the past week he has made strong fight for the cause of woman's suffrage, and was the legislator who sponsored the amendment in the house He is member of several of the most important committees in the house, and is making good record for himself and the county he represents.
 He admits that he has hard fight to be half as good as other Colbert repre- sentatives.
