RESTORATION OF SANITY URGED BY
 MANUF LECTURERS
Country Full of Vicious Propagandists, Declares Committee Report at
 Annual Convention
RN Assnelafed Fress

New York, May 19.-Initiation of na- tionwide movement to restore sanity and common sense" in the relations of labor and industry was urged upon the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers in a report of the committee of industrial betterment. health and safety, read at the opening session of the associations twenty y-fourth annual meeting here to- day
 Todays session, presided over by Presi- dent stephen T. Mason of Pittsburg, was attended by more than 400 members and was given over chiefly to the reading Of reports of special committees. The meet ing will continue until Wednesday.
 There can be no question: Aid the report on industrial betterment, that we have in our country at this time large numbers of vicious propagandists who would make all property the common dividend among them. Never has there been greater demand for sane and cour- ageous leadership in combating unwise counsels in the industry of our nation. "
 Pointing to the heavy burdens of tax ation and increased costs of freight, com munication and other industrial essen- tials, the committee declared that labor must be brought to realize that the United States will never retain world su- premacy by six hours of labor five days a week.

plicaton of human wants, not from an increase of the population For instance, the average increase of commerce in all the countries of Europe in the nineteenth century was 1900 per cent. and we all know that the population did not increase in anything like that proportion. "If you merchants do not believe this definition of commerce you can test it. Remove from your shelves every article that was unknown to your own line or trade ten years ago and see what there ia left for you to sell Remove every article that was unknown 20 years ago and some of you would have to close your doors.
 "Cities arise out of the same source as commerce and business-because men want them Cities are built to satisfy human wants. The finer they are the more satisfying, of course. The way tQ make them finer is to set all the, people, l or as many of them as 1t is possible to get together, to thinking and worKihs toward common ends.

For the Good of
 the COmmunity

y COMETIME ago there was more or less O agitation for fitting celebration to mark the first centennial of Alabama's statehood.
 Arthur c. Crowder, then president of the Chamber of Commerce, advocated such celebration and he was seconded by many other Birmingham people.
 Just what kind of celebration should be held was never definitely outlined, though number of suggestions were made and discussed.
 Among the suggestions were: A man. moth pageant, with floats indicating the growth and development of the state in agriculture, art, industry, commerce, liter ature, and the various activities in which her people are and have been engaged; an exhibit of the natural and manufactured resources of the state; a great, spectacular demonstration in which the history of the state and it's development would be de- picted in song and story and allegory.
 There were other suggestions, but the three mentioned seemed to meet with most favor. .
 The time is drawing nigh when the one hundredth anniversary must be celebrated If at all December IA, 1819, Alabama was erected into state December IA, 1919, IS less than seven months away. A very short time in which to get up display that will do justice to the great state and the great people that have made itwhat its.
 In the course of 100 years many men and
 ..a,o x,,ov4L1y ofv v,o oor,oorio1c have lived and toiled and worked for the develop ment of the state politically, socially, lrl- dustrially and in all other ways.
 There have been many incidents in the history of the state that would make irl- teresting subjects for floats in grand pageant, or for reproduction in allegory, among them DeSotos advent into the state and his negotiations and lights With the Indians; Jacksons campaign agalnst the Indians; the French settlement at De- mopolis, intended as the home of Napoleon whose star had fallen in Europe; organlza- tion of the Confederate government at Montgomery; development of the cotton and mineral industries; harnesslng of the great water power on the Coosa and IeI1- nessee rivers; the heroic struggle or great people for freedom from misrule a-.- QeDducn0Ty IOllOWlIlS CIlt O1Vll Wd1, e@lAu their fight for the right to live; steaboat- ing on the rivers, and numerous other things that might be suggested.
 Then among Alabama's statesmen, au- thors builders, preachers and educators there is an abundance of subjects. From William Wirt Bibb, the first governor; Gle ment c. Clay Gabriel Moore, William R. King, William L. Yancey, Hilliard, Toul- min, Dr. Sims, Dr. Wyeth, Goethels, Gar land, Pickens, Morgan, Pettus, Murphy, Walker, Clopton, Brickell, Tourney, pr. William s. Wyman, the Shorters, Clayton, Wheeler, Samuel Mintern Peck, Miss Julia Tutwiler, A. B. Meek, Henry F. DeBardele- ben, J. w. Sloss, Daniel Pratt, the Mobiles and Daniel Tyler, and host of others down to our own day there is a brilliant galaxy. of Alabamians who have done things and who have been in the front ranks of developers of the state and nation politically, socially, industrially and com mercially

Jimmy Coon sent the little Foxes.

out. for he was half asleep. He
looked around his front door and he
couldn't see any visitors. with eggs
to sell, SO he. thought he had been
fooled and he was just about to pun
ish those little foxes.
That would have been a pity for
they were so cunning and pretty.

Mr.. Red Fox whirlinR around sud-

Mr.. Fox smiled a very broad SMILE"
But 1 have nothing to pay you with,
and so you must want me to do some
thing for you: out with it,. what Is
it?"
Mr.. Red Fox is so very clever that
no one can ever pull the wool over
his eyes.
Jimmie Coon thought the best
thing he could do was to tell the
whole truth. and so he told about
wanting to show all the little animals
of the Great Forest that little Peter
Rabbit could swim. He told him that
Peter wouldn't swim unless he was
chased into the water and he wanted
Mr.. Red Fox to do the chasing.
Mr.. Red Fox laughed at this story,
but with all his faults Mr.. Red Fox
is a perfect gentleman, so he said
very politely, 81 will be very glad to
do anything to oblige a friend. but,
of course, it is only right for you to
pay for such a favor"

Summer materials are popular this
year. That may sound queer, but it
isn't, for during the past few years
summer has come and gone and sum-
mer materials have tlain quietly on
the selves with never a demand for
more than four yards at a time. But
this summe is different. Women are
tired of wearing serge suits and frocks
the year round. They are tired of be-
ing practical by wearing dark clothes
through the summer and SO all the
summer frills and furbelows are be-
ing revived and really truly sum-
mer materials are being made into
dainty cool-looking gowns for warm
weather wear.
Hare is a girlish model made of
flesh colored indestructible wolfe.
with a texture almost like georgette.
Many tiny satin ruffles trim the
sleeves, the round collar and the
apron-like tunic. A bow of satin un-
derneath the outer blouse gives the
effect of a medallion on the front.
Such a frock is appropriate for sum-
mer porch or garden parties. The
leghorn hat has a pink puff crown
with a wreath of rosebuds and flow
ing pink and blue ribbons for trim
ming.

became the bride of Seln1er Evanson.
Both young people are we'll known in
the vicinity of Hatton, where they re-
side. The ceremony. which ook

by Rev. Mr.. Seardahl of Northwoed.
Miss Wesness wore a gown of white
satin and carried an arm bouquet of
white roses. Miss Mary Evanson, a
sister of the groom was the brides
only attendant and Edward Wasness,
the brides brother, attended the
groom.
Immediately after the ceremony.

accompaniment, sang Because" Miss

out of town guests.
Mr.. Evanson and his bride returned
to Hattie ntoday, where they will

Mr.. Red Fox laughed. too, for he
has O sense of fun.
of the things Mr.. Red Fox likes best
to do Is to chase Peter Rabbit or any
n else who will run for him.
Mr.. Red Fox laughed. too, for he
has a sense of fun and he winked at
Teddy Postum who was swimming by
his long tail from a branch on which
the anxious Jimmie Coon was sit
ting.
"Now the first thing to think Of is
my pay" said Mr.. Fox. How do I
know those eggs are fresh? I would
have asked how in the world could
you give up fresh eggs. when you
like them so we'll yourself.-but since
/ have eyes I a see you pretty fur
vest all streaked with yellow, so I
know you have stuffed yourself first"
Jimmie Coon looked ashamed. Mr..
Fox said: II know how to tell if those
eggs are fresh!" How do you think
he could tell? That is another story.

Eggs.
