United Waist League of America
Will Spend Fifty Thousand Dol
lars for Advertising.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Fifty thous-
and dollars will be spent in advertis-
ing National Blouse Week to the wo-
men of the country through daily
newspapers from coast to coast. The

the United Waist League of America,
national organization of manufac-
turers of women's waists. They
voted unanimously in favor of spend
ing this sum to tell the women of
the country about National Blouse
Week, which takes place November
10 to Is.
The manufacturers of women's
waists will individually call the at
tention of retailers throughout the
United States to National Blouse

YOUNG MEMS SILK
SHIRTS ARE GOING UP
The Haberdashers Predict Prohibitive
Prices in Near Future.

Prices in Near Future.
If prohibitive prices keep you from
sporting silk shirt, perhaps not now,
but in the near future, when they
take another So leap, blame it on
one of two things, or both: The wo-
men and the Japs.
AS usual, the women are at the
bottom of the difficulty, the haber-
dashers say. They insist on paying
fancy prices for fabrics woven in gar
ments that do not contain the
strength or quality of the material
put into mems shirts. Consequently
the mills are bending all their efforts
toward satisfying the trade of the
fair sex. The natural result is that
silk shirts are getting scarcer, and if
the feminine demand at eXorbitant
prices continues the market will be
almost bare of silk in few months.
Yet to be considered in the high
prices are the Japs. Weavers in that
country formerly were paid about 6
cents an hour for spinning the silk.
Now they are getting six times that
much, and in some cases as high as
40 cents an hour.
By next spring, the retailers say,
the advance in the price of silk
shirts will be fully so per cent. for
the year. Shirts that sold for $40
will be SIS, and those that until re-
Gently brought S12 are now selling
for $15, and will be SIS with the
next raise.

Declares Government Policy Is to Restore Service Ren-
 dered Before the War
sx A,rnrl.t.1 rr,-.

Denver, April 2s.-'Tt is my policy and purpose to restore railroad service to the sort of service rendered before the war" declared Walker D. Hines. director general of the railroad administration in an address before the Civic and com merchl association.
 This present government control or the railroads is purely temporary Tn character" he said t'I feel that the most useful service I can render IS to try during this period to get the railroad service on the best footing from the standpoint of the needs of the public IL is now our policy that no changes or substance be made in rates except with the concurrence of the division of public service, which devotes it's entire tune to the rate problem"
 The director general had conferences with Governor Oliver s. Shoup and Col orado railroad men. He heard state or ficials appeal to save the Colorado Mid land and Denver and Salt Lake roads from being dismantled and promised ar advertising campaign to bring summer tourists to the mountain parks of the western states.
 He said that the report that 10 per cent raise was in contemplation was without foundation. He also said reduc- tion of operating cost would be effected without a reduction in wages for raii- road employees.

 will have to contract 10 spend 10 per

 Apart from the lack of space. one of the biggest problems that confronts the library is that of lost books. Many persons fail to return the books" said Miss Chapman. This is due in part to the moving population of Birmingham. but Is inexcusable. We lose about 90 books a year in this way. Many persons | take out books, keep them overtime until the fines amount to quite bit, and then | rather than pay the fines they just fah \ to return the books. We use every means | we have to get the books back, send no- tices, second notices and messengers, put they ali fail sometimes.

FLORENCE

Florence. April 29.-(Special. )-The Confederate memorial held at the Golf fee High school auditorium Sunday aft ernoon was attended by large crowd and the programme for the occasion was both appropriate and entertaining. The music was one of the most pleasing features, including such favorites as "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" and Dixie" The address was delivered by pr. D. l. Purser, pastor of the First Paptist church, and was a most splen- did speech, entirely appropriate to the occasion. Immediately after the exer- cises at the school building, the Boy Scouts, under the command of Scout master Hollingsworth, led the way to the Florence cemetery. Miss Martha Lee Smith, as standard bearer. occupied a car next to the Boy Scouts, and Chief Marshal Malone. with his assistants. Messrs Herschell Larimore and Albert H. Moore, and other mounted sons of Confederates were the escorts of the standard bearer and other daughters of l the Confederate Veterans who were in cars bearing the wreaths for the graves of the fallen men who wore the gray. These wreaths were placed on the graves of all Confederate soldiers whose bodies rest in the Florence cem- etery.

Birmingham has highly creditabe library with an efficient force and the largest patronage in it's history. but it is woefuily in need of an adequate home and more financial support, according to Miss Lila M. Chapman. vice director of the Birmingham public library.
 From time to time additions and spe- cial features have been added to the library until at present the library off ctals often find themselves at loss to find space for additional books that come in Every corner that can be had on the fourth floor of the city hall build- ing had been used for library purposes. and even the attic of the building is now used as storage room.

QUARTERS TOO SMALL

For several years library officials have complained that the present quarters were too small, but all the time they have been forced to remain in the build ing and at the same time to find addi- tional room for new books. Now, ac- cording to Miss Chapman, all the avail able space has been used and the rooms are badly crowded.
 On october 1. 1919, the city library. then but a small and mediocre one, was put on the free circulating plan. It has been growing continuously since and the H. trary officials have all the time been looking forward to the time when a bet ter house would be provided As the library grew, the main reading room. which was then but balcony to the al- derman council room, was floored in. Later when more space was demanded. a floor was swung from the ceiling of the old armory. In other similar ways space has been manufactured
 Now there is no way to get more space on this floor" said Miss Chapman And I hope that the city officials, whe need this floor for other purposes. vii crowd us out so that we will have tc get a library building.

the street to avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no
ticed that his fellow-pupils, by dint
of mental concentration upon the beau
