whom make up the daily schedule scat tered here and there among the hun dreds of matinee idols" statesmen, business men, professional beauties and plain old every day countrymen who in- fest the hotels.
 In the five years of business life which Miss Roland has experienced she has found the key to that maddening tumble of complexities known as "hu- man nature;" she can "size up'' a cus- toner in less time than it takes to tell 1t and what with her own native abil- ity and her acquired efficiency in her business she qualities roundly as said before as the HOO per cent" business woman@
 Every man who pays a visit to the cigar stand" at the Tutwiler over which Miss Roland presides, every wo- man who visits her and buys anything at what I suggested to her was her notion counter"-whether it be a magazine, newspaper, package of chewing gum, a stamp--it matters not how small the purchase or how short the time consumed in making it, each and every one goes away with gleam- ing impression of the bright, brown, eyes, the clean honest, smile and the wholesome atmosphere radiated by this nice girl
 And how did you happen to fall into Such pleasant NneS!' you'll probably ask Miss Roland as I did when I went a-interviewing yesterday, and with a smile she'll answer:
 T don't think people usually fall into a place of this kind, but more generally climb and she might have added, using her own career as a proof that when you reach the top rung of the ladder" it is not merely matter of accomplishment. but of hanging on.
 Five years ago I came to Birming- ham from San Antonio, Texas" Miss Bo- land told me, "and asked MT. R. D. Burnett for the position I now hold. In the old days you know a woman at a cigar stand was considered entirely out of her element and so I was looked upon with some degree of curiosity by most people, but my persuasive facul- ties finally convinced MT. Burnett of the efficacy of such a position, and he very kindly gave me my chance and as MT. Kipling says, I stuck"
 MT. Burnett has certainly been the kindest of friends to me and has been invaluable in teaching me in my busi- ness career" Miss Roland said. He has tauNlt me practically all I know about the cigar business. Of course I made a study of it; felt that woman could learn about tobacco and the right sort of smokes as well as man, so l started out to master my work and I've done it. The joke about the sort of cigars woman gives her

In Memory of Miss Sallie Col
 Her. of EutaW. Alabama

The many friends of Miss Salie Collier throughout the state ana> the lower Mis-
 sissippi valley will be distressed to learn of her death on the Fourth of July, 1919, at Eutaw, Ala.
 Miss Collier, the daughter of Col. J. J. Collier, was born at Raleigh, N. C., No vember 2 1Sf7. and lived from early childhood in Greene county. Alabama. She was educated at Mrs. Stafford's school at Tuscaloosa, and at the age of r began her career as a teacher. She rose rapidly in her profession and occu- pied many responsible positions in the state At one time she was lady princi- pal at the Tuscaloosa Female college, later lady principal at the Synodical col lege at Florence, and afterward president of that institution. III health compelled her to stop teaching for many years, but the love of her profession was always strong in her heart and 70 years of age found her at work again in the English department of the State Normal school at Florence, Ala.
 Miss Collier was a beautiful example of lady of the old school-gentle, gra- cious, dignified, witty, and intelligent She formed a link between the past and the present, and was keeny alive to the issues and needs of today.
 When the many women of Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama, who were her former pupils, think of Miss Collier, they do not think primarily of her beauty of person or her mental abil- ity, although she possessed both to an unusual degree; but they think of her rare personality, which impressed itself upon "her girls, made them ashamed to do anything little or unworthy and inspired them to try to live up to her high standard-the standard of a Chris tian gentlewoman. Without ostentation she did the good that her hands found to do, and the reward of her labor lies in the love and respect of all whose lives she touched. She was member of the Presbyterian church
 She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. w H. Fitzpatrick of New Orleans, and Mrs George r. Archer of Greenvlle. Miss. who have the sympathy of Miss Golfers friends in their great bereavement.

Miss MQude BOLQnd

1N HERE are great many we'll
 known and popular business
 women in Birmingham but it's numbers larger circle of friends and admirers. than Miss Maude Roland, the clever girl who greets you at the cigar stand' at the Tutwiler, three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, always with the same pleasant, courteous word, always looking as neat and immaculate as brand new pin, and always as genial and happy as the day is long.
 Miss Roland is what I call 100 per cent business woman; by that l mean she measures right up to the standard from every angle; she has good looks" 10 her credit; she has ability she has charm, all of which make up person anty'-that Elusive, will-'o the wisp, word which means every thing to every woman-whether she answers to the roll call' of ''business woman" social leader, "suffragist," or "anti!"
 Miss Roland is a typical Edna Fer Der" type of business girl real up- to-the minute Emma McChesney" who doesn't entertain the ghost of the theory that merely because woman is out in the world earning her own livelihood. that it's up to her to dress so that she'll be as inconspic+ious as a steel engraving in back parlor of a cheap boarding house; on the other hand Miss Roland is the quintessence of neatness and style; her shirt waists like the famous Mrs. McChesney's, are always just right; her collars fit and don't sag at the corners; her beautiful black hair gi1stens and glimmers like the sun shine and shows that it matters not how tired she is after the days work that 1t is brushed and cared for, while her hands are those splendid capable looking hands that indicate character" and Miss Roland registers again 100 per cent when it comes to this phase of the game.
 Like Edna Ferber's business girl "she knows how to take care of herself" she has learned the happy art of con- gealing the warm advances of fresh and friendly travelling men-au of

Millennium Just Around the Corner?
A Washington despatch states that
Postmaster General Burleson has
been stripped of his powers by Presi-
dent Wilson. and that hereafter he
will not be permitted to exercise more
than nominal authority in his depart
ment. At the same time an an
nouncement is made that his job a.
chief political adviser to the adj
ministration has ended. So far will
the President go toward appeasing
the wrath Of the Democratic leaders
who have been loudly demanding the
resignation and removal Of Burlesoa
from ONCE altogether.

postal service, bad as it has become,

to itself. 1t certainly can 60 no

clipped may be less dangerous than

have taken as his political measure
