REICHSTAG BUILDING
 IS CLEAN ONCE MORE

Berlin. october 10.-(By The Asso- ciated Press. 1.-The Reichstag building has undergone rigorous renovation and has been pronounced again fit for Parlimentary occupation. The work occupied nine months. Tn ridding the great gilded- domed edifice of all traces of revolution the largest calibred va- cuum cleaners, the most powerful of disinfectants and the deadliest of yer min exterminators were employed
 While in addition to the damage 1t had undergone. the building contained so many unpleasant reminders of the days when civil war was waged in Berlin the National Assembly had a reasonable excuse for prolonging it's sojourn in Weimar. But now that disinfectants and vermin- n-exterminators have completed their work such ex- cuse no longer exists.
 The shortageaof hotel and lodging house accommodation however. is likely to prove embarrassing to those of the returning legislators who have neglected to secure quarters in ad- vance.

POPULATION OF
 FRANCE SHRINKS

Paris, October IA continued shrinkage of the, population of France is shown by the vital statistics of the republic for the year 1918, which have just appeared
 Without counting the war losses. the French nation numbers 3S9575 less than in 1917. These figures affect only the 77 departments of France which were not in enemy occupation They are the excess of deaths over births. The decline is attributed mainly to the ravages of the influenza epidemic in the latter half of 1918. from which it is computed that about 100000 per- sons died.
 Compared with 1917 there was an increase in marriages of 19.364, but the number of divorces also rose from 5,572 to S,121.

LIMIT DRINKING
 TO TWELVE HOURS

London, October S.-(By The Asso. ciated ess.)-Twelve hours a day for drinking will be proposed by Bri- tish saloonkeepers in bill they ex. pect to introduce into Parliament. Be- fore the war the number of weekday hours for the sale of liquor was fixed at 1912 in London, IT in provincia towns and Is in the country
 The new bill proposes to leave Sun day hours substantially as they were in pre-war times, the London number, z, being applied to the whole of Eng land
 Framers of the measure say they are seeking to convert the public houses from place used merely for the con sumption of alcoholic drinks into one or varied refreshment and social en- tertainment. They propose to remodel public houses in order to make them commodious and airy and to introduce music. dancing and games
 Temperance leaders strongly oppose the bill. ''The liquor trade" comment ed George B. Wilson. secretary of the United Kingdom Alliance, fear the ad- vance of public opinion in this country and is alarmed by what has taken place in America. It is proposed to make the drink shop so attractive that it will become the social center of the neigh borhood, open apparently to women and children. as well as men. It seems impossible to believe that the great volume of public opinion will agree to a measure which will enormously in- crease the power ofsdrink"
 Under the wartime regulations which are still effective, hours for the sale of drinks in public houses are restricted to between 12 o'clock noon and 2:30 p. m, and between and 10 D. m.

STAMP ISSUES
 MAKE NEW RECORD

London. October "A worlds re- cord has been established since Decem- Der, 1918. in the number of new postage stamp issues. The total is now ap- preaching 2.000. of which nearly 300 are accounted for by the first stamps Of the new European states whose auton- omy was guaranteed by the Paris con ference. The previous record was for 1914. when 1,286 new postage stamps were produced throughout the world, mainly due ti the change in the water mark of the British Colonial issues.
 Poland, which once had but one stamp, has since the armistice produced more than 400 distinct stamps. The Ukraine comes second with about 175 varieties. Jugo-Slavia ands Czecho- Slovakia account for approximately 150 each. The much debated territory of Plume has issued 75 varieties

1 Ii you had only been found, dear women! Every one of you eleven who 1 made history in the North Alabama con- ference by being ''the first ladies" in the land to sit in the delegated body of the church. Heretofore. you have been just "bystanders. standing by" which means
 that you've been helping a good deal of
 the work, and keeping some of the faith, for 75 years. but, according to Miss Belle Bennett, now you are really recognized as full fledged members of the church. :" That is why a snap shot should have been made, for people who like historic records. But where two or three of you were gathered together" there the others were not No use to look nor listen; you seem to have abided strictly by St. Paurs injunction to keep a golden silence All very well. but rather unnatural. But after all St. Paul was crusty old bach elor. whose judgment wasn't always as sound as his religion.
 But here is the roll call of North Ala bama's first women delegates, despite the frailty of St. Paurs judgment and that of the conferences out of 45, who voted not to extend laity rights to the women of Southern Methodism. North Alaba- mas first roster shows, the names of Mesdames D. E. McLendon W. NJ. Stokes, E. Argo. J. A. Embry, F. M. Grimsley, B. H. Maynor. M. J. Owen together with Misses Ida Davenport Hattie Lee Lathem, Lille Mehan and Vera Salmon.
 Of these Mrs. McLendon, was the first to answer to roll call.
 According to Dr. L. C. Banscomb, Mrs Stokes was the first woman in Southern Methodism to be elected by a district conference as delegate to an annual con- ference. An honor deserved by this gifted woman. who has given so literally of her time to the cause of missions the Sunday school and the Epworth League As secretary of Jasper district in the Womans Missionary conference. Mrs Stokes has led her part of the state into the first ranks of that organization
 Miss Ida Davenport holds the same of flee in the Woman's Work of the Gads- den district that Mrs. Stokes holds in Jasper, and the records also point to great developments through her leader ship,
 Mrs McLendon of East Lake is the niece of Dr. T. c. Slaughter, one of the brave pioneers in the early days of Ala bama Methodism. For years Mrs Mc- Lendon has been treasurer of the Mis- sionary Auxiliary at East Lake, and in terested in all lines of church work
 It is disappointment not to make this record more complete, but there will be other conferences, with perhaps the same representation

London, October s.--The exploits of General Monatov. a Russian cavalry leader, in breaking through the bolshe- vik line and maintaining a force of about 5000 horsemen for weeks back of the bolshevik line, is viewel by British military experts as7one of the mist unusual episodes of five years of fighting in Europe. He lived on the country far away from his base and apparently roamed about unmolested.
 Russian experts at the foreign office believe Monatov could not operate back of the enemy lines if the population did not favor his cause.

Decrease in Drunkenness


 London, October 6-In the last year of the war there was a remarkable falling off in this country of convictions for drunkenness from pre-war totals Of ficial figures. which show a decrease of S4.6 per cent follow: 1913, 1S8, ST; 1918, 29,o75. The statistics given are confined to England and Wales. The greatest falling off of drunkenness, amounting to almost 90 per cent. was in the great min ing and manufacturing districts of the English Midlands, and in the thickly settled coal-minng areas of Wales.
