A War Workers Story

Helen St. John, in Leshes.
 Not so long ago, one Saturday night, I went over to see some of the girls at an other hotel. When I arrived I found four girls, all of our party, and about six men, some of them were captains, cou- pie of first lieutenants, and so on, but all commissioned men, though they had just come over and had not seen anything of real war. We danced. laughed and joked, and for a while forgot all the sad ness that exists in this part, and for that fact .all parts of the world, and 1 am ashamed to admit it. Some of the girls were going to Italy the next day and per- haps that was their last chance to be with their friends. In the midst of this, a young chap, a doctor from one of the girls home town, came in, He had come to Paris hurriedly. just by chance, snatch ing pass for couple of days. The poor boy brought home to me, and think all of us, for the first time, just what our men were going into. His face was haggard. his eyes bloodshot and his nerves almost Shot to pieces. He had only been over four months or so, but had been up in the trenches. The doctor had had an at JACK or ITeHCtl Itct, IIOHt WHlcH ne WAS just recovering and said that he had stood working in mud almost up to the top of his boots He was glad to see us and had not talked to "outsiders'' for so long that his tongue almost ran away with him, but it sure did make us feel odd way down in the bottom of our hearts. He told us of gas raids, where the gas could not be detected until men died by the hundreds, of one raid made by the | n nf ub at rad men. They slashed throats, and did oner He told about the hospitals and the method of taking the wounded there. crawling with them to the mouth of this hut or dugout where they crawled through a door, hung with curtain sat- urated with something to keep the gas out. and how then they kept on through two similar doorways till they got inside. Here they were treated and passed on as SC on as possible to another hospital. He told of many English officers who had been killed They had shown their men how to adjust their gas masks. having them drill often, but had neglected to practice themselves. Consequently when the time came they could not adjust their own gas masks in time, and were killed. Every other word or so he would mention the good old U s. A.. Good bless her." and say what he would do when he got back. but he was firmly convinced that he never would get back. He was very morbid, very i'll, thought, but the way he talked about the war and everything made one feel-ol, It Is impossible to ex- press ones feelings,ss While he was speak Ing a couple of the other men had put down the carpet. and the smiles had left oar faces. That was the last party we attempted. and perhaps it is better so.

season many nonresident concerns and business houses have made overtures for stores and retail locations with the result that half dozen big leases are now pending.
 HOUSING PROBLEM ACUTE
 The housing problem has become so acute that in spite of the fact that apartment houses and many dwellings building material has advanced, several are now planned and will be construct .e ed within the next few months. Many builders who at first were disposed to wait for a drop in lumber, hardware and labor costs, have now come to real ize that the expected decline will not materialize for several years.
 Spurred on by the incentive of high rents these home builders are Just be- ginning an elaborate programme or construction and local architects, for the first time in many years, are sketching plans night and day.
 BIG SALE YESTERDAY
 Along realty row optimism prevails in the most conservative offices and salesmen report heavier business than in the past decade. One of the largest transactions of the past few weeks was recorded yesterday when J. M. Gibson, agent for Ike Adler, sold the southeast corner of Avenue B and Twenty-f1rst street, being lots II, 12 ad 13, block 120. to T. R. Weaver of the Guarantee Shoe company, for the consideration or s65, 900 as part payment on which the purchaser gave a double brick apart ment at 1704-6 Tenth avenue, south, valued at $10,000.
 "The demand for vacant stores is strong for the first time in 10 years said M P. Messer. Two or three large concerns are angling for retail corners and are bidding high for leases. In 1914 there were 150 vacant buildings, retail property too. Now, it's hard matter to get a location anywhere near the center of trade"
 "Office buildings are better rented thar ever before,' said Robert Jemison, Jr "The Empire building is 9S1a per cent full and the Chamber of Commerce is l0O per cent rented. This indicates healthy business condition and I feel sure that by October there won't be an unoccu- pied office in any one of the larger sky scrapers"
 "The time to buy is on rising mar ket," said Frank Butler, and if invest ment property isn't on the verge or boom I'm very much mistaken. The tn- Aux of population and the entry of nu- merous small enterprises here within the past year. has brought the demand up beyond the supply

 In speaking of the prospective civic center, Morris w Bush. president of the Rotary club, said; T am thorough ly in accord with the proposed plan. and will assist in every way can to bring it about. Birmingham is young and is in a much better position to plan such thing now than many other cities which are larger, where prices of real estate are higher and where more buildings would have to be moved or condemned to get the space in which to build such a center"
 Robert Jemison, Jr, says 1t certain ly Is needed and he is most anxious to see Birmingham push 1t through.
 PLAN INDORSED
 c. S. Mylan. director of the Birming- ham public library. states 1t certainly Is the thing to do and the new library building would look we'll on such a site, while Hill Ferguson expressed himself as favoring the plan.
 This proposed plan was originated for use in the city plan book which takes in the report of the city com missioners and the plans covering the entire Birmingham district were writ ten and designed by Warren H. Man. hing of Boston and North Billerics, Mass. He is nationally known as a city planner.
 This book will be published by the real estate exchange and will be placed on sale. Those subscribing before pub | lication will be listed in the front os the book as patrons of the plan.

EASY. ID DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be- cause, it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw. this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxurfant.

These two buildings are connected be- hind this tower by a collonade, where space is provided for thousands of in dividual memorial tablets, and sufficient space Is available over these tablets for a mosaic, or tile, treatment of maps depicting the batt1efields of Europe on which our boys fought. These maps would be worked out in colors and would be imperishable.'
 Under the proposed plan, the auditorium will be at right angles to the above mentioned group facing each other across the park, and will seat 9000 people. A smaller hall, seating 1900 people with a banquet hall in addition, will also be included in the auditorium. The art museum, where persons may be taught this profession, will be one of the most attractive of the grup. The vocational training school where disabled soldiers and sailors may be trained along such lines as they desire and thus be able to make living, will be large and inn posing structure.
 In the center of the park will be a large flag pole on which the flag of free- dom will waive in the breeze
 MEMORIAL TOWER
 The memorial tower would be 450 feet high, with beacon search light on top, which could be seen from Eas; Lake to Bessemer. It could also be used to flash any news of worldwide importance to all the people in the dis trict. Too, election returns might be flashed from the tower which would be lighted by ss system of flood lights, which would silhouette the tower against the sky at night.
 The architecture of these buildings would be of the classic monumental style. and would be planned for future expan- sion of the city and county offices. owing to the shape of the auditorium, it could be

 One of the biggest real estate deals in the history of Birmingham is now fin process of completion and unless obstacles appear will be am nounced within the next week. This information was given to the writer yesterday by one of the most prom inent realtors in the city, who ee- ciared that only few details re- mained to be worked out before the transaction was definitely made. The concensus of opinion among realty dealers is that business prop erty is rapidly becoming as much in demand as residences and apartment houses. During the present rental

The city offices of Birmingham have outgrown the present building, the Jeff ferson county courthouse is inadequate for it's present needs, while the public library is crowded and wants sep arate building to house the present and future collections. Although the city is young in years it has outgrown the present facilities, and in the very near future the erection of new build ings will be necessary.

SOUTHERN SOCIOLOGICAL CON-
GRESS MOVES AGAINST LYNCH.
ING.

Il
The time is past for simply con-
demning lynching. or calling on the
public to uphold law. The Presidents,
address last summer. with its tremen-
dous appeal for justice and for patri-
otism, was followed by outbursts of
mob violence in a number of states.
On the heels of the strong action of
the recent meeting of the Southern
Sociological Congress came one of
the most atrocious mob-murders ever
known, the victim of which has since
been proven an innocent Negro.
The one remedy is campaign of
education, for as long as may be
needed. This the Law and order
Section Of the Sociological Congress
has officially undertaken, Its pro-
gram is
3 1. A campaign of speakers to con
vention to activitely enlist religious,
educational and other leaders.
3. A thorough study of the causes
of lynching, on the results of which
a conservative program of education,
legislation and law enforcement may
be worked out.
The $4,000 needed for this cam
paign should come from the South.
and quickly. Every one who has a
stake in this section-children, prop
erty( honor, friends-should help to
end this menace and disgrace. Mem

of the Congress costs $1.00 per year;

(By The Negro Associated Press).
London. Eng, June 19.--More than
1000 Colored Britishers from South
Africa, veterans of the World War,
resented the interference OF their
civil rights. and working conditions
in Liverpool.
Great mobs Of whites have for
some weeks been interfering in one
way and anther with these
brave men from the distant conti-
nent. There is small truth to the
the daily newspaper stories-that the
trouble was caused by the interfer-
ence of the South African Britishers

Everything went along very nicely,
until propaganda, started by Ameri-
can Southern whites. in their inces-
SAINT attempt to stir up strife. was
spread In various sections.
On every occasion the South Afri-
can veterans have resented the in
suits, and this is probably not the
end, if: not let alone.

preaching the Negro in the New Re.
construction. In his pamphlet on the
New Reconstruction he speaks of
Booker T. Washington and Frederick
Douglas as the champions Of the Ne
gro, Washington, the champion of in
dustrial education, and regrets that
Booker T. Washington did not come
on the stage generation earlier,
preaching his doctrine of industry and
he infers II Mr.. Washington had come

Negro would have built upon a foun-
dation that could not have been shak-
en-. He further AYERS that the Negro
must not now make the mistake that
was made in the Reconstruction that
was made after the civil war, and he
seeks to forestall him In his rush for
political and civil rights lest the black
man should not get what he deserves.
Soon. after the close of the Civil
War, Mr.. Miller says, "AIl of his ener-
gies we're focused upon the issue OF po-
dtical rights and privileges with little
