HUDDLESTON SPOKE ON

Ove- the protests OF Representa- tive
Huddleston, spokesman for Birming-

has enacted legislation which denies
members OF the Washington police
force to belong to any union affiliated
with the American Federation OF
Labor.
Representative Black or Texas Of
fered an snendn ent which while pre-
venting the policemen forming a
union of their own, would permit them
to be members of other unions. Many
representations objected on the ground
that these "other" unions might go
on strike, sympathetic or otherwise,
necessitating the policemen, their
members, to strike, or precipitating a
state of affairs in which the guardians
of the law would sympathize with
strikers and possibly law breakers.

BOSSES MINE
Heads Corporation Controlled En-
tlrely by Her Sex.
Operates Garnet Mine In Alaska and
Lead, Zinc and Silver Mines
In Arizona.

New York.-From the far West
there now comes to us the lady miner,
Miss Anna Durkee, organizer and con-
trolling element of a $1,000,00O cor
poration run entirely by Miss
Durkee operates a garnet mine in
southern Alaska and lead, zinc and sill
yer mines In Arizona. She is the lar
gest individual mine owner in the Oat-
a district of Arizona, and the nos
widely known woman in the mining
world.
1t was while she was in Alaska seven
years ago, investigating a proposition
In copper. that Miss Durkee first be-
came interested In a garnet mine, was
given an option on 1t and finally took
1t over In the name of q corporation
which had a board of Is women direc-
tors.
At the beginning the mine did not
seem to amount to a great deal, but
as Miss Durkee began to develop the
first claim with which the corporation
started, veins were discovered opening
o In every direction, and as the work
continued the amazing fact dawned
that the entire mountain was a gigan-
tic mine of the beautiful crystals, with
lodges of garnets extending from the
sea level to a distance of $500 feet
up the mountain side.
But the greatest value of the deposit
consists In a by-product Of garnet
waste, discovered by Miss Durkee,
who passed two years In a chemical
laboratory working it out. She had
observed that garnets when milled did
not fuse with iron or brass, and follow
ing this up, she discovered a new use
for the waste garnet, of which there
were hundreds of thousands of tons.
Ground to a certain mesh and put
through a secret process the waste gar
net makes a separating powder valu-
able in foundry work." she stated.
The garnets of Miss Durkee's mine
are of the finest variety, almandines.
Because of their beauty and hardness,
biologists have given them the name
of precious garnets."

WATCH FOR LOANS TO HUNS
American Defense Society to Make
Public Names of Banks Which
May Aid Teutons.

New York.-A resolution passed by
the national boycott committee of the
American Defense society makes in
discriminate lending by American
banks to Germany a more or less
hazardous business from a financial
point of view. 1t is c%ontended by the
society that American depositors have
a right to be notified in advance of
any intention on the part of the banks
to lend their money to build up Ger
man countries, and 1t holds itself
ready to inform the depositors II
their money Is so used without their
consent.
"The principle involved is quite
clear" said Richard NJ. Hurd, chair
man of the national boycott commit
tee. ut is analogous to the bill just
introduced by Senator Lodge, provid-
ing that the public should be informed
of all stores dealing In German goods
by having a conspicuous sign placed
over their doors, Dealer In German
Goods

infamous atrocities of the Germans

tries toward building up Germany

FLORIDA SILK CULTURE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Dr. Thomas de Pamphilis for several years has conducted interesting ex- pertinent on his place near St. Augustine. Silk worm culture is the subject of it, and he now announces that his experi- ment has proved to be satisfactory as far as it has gone. He has garnered some 5000 silk worms as his first crop. AL together he has planted 1000 mulberry trees on the foliage of which the forms produce the raw material of silk. The Florida Times Union says that the worms have completed between 200 and 225 pounds of cocoons. Dr. Pamphilis, it is said, is satisfied that with additional ground for more trees and with proper housing facilities for the maturing of worms. silk worm farming can be made a successful Florida enterprise. But it is yet a long time before Florida will re- duce it's consumption of hosiery made from Alabama cotton.

 0N WHILE Monte Carlo continues to
 NAVY flourish as gambling hell
 V V and the owner and autocrat Of the principality of Monaco has seemingly not changed his point of view as to the morality and legitimacy of public gam bling, it is apparent that certain parts of Europe will view many of these amuse-

At present Germany is in so dis turbed a state that what will finally de- velop there in the matter of an improve ment in the morals of public amusements and recreation cannot be forecast Every one who has been in Germany connrme the curious story of social excesses Nev- alent everywhere. The general despair of the people. due to their failure to win the war and their humiliating situation before the allies, has led. it is claimed to a looseness of life unparalleled pe1ore the war. And this looseness is not only a matter of dancing and carousins, put or gambling on a scale that amounts almost to frenzy. and is said to invade all
 
 classes.
 On the other hand, it is apparent that Belgium is taking things more seriously and the decision of the Chamber Of Deputies to continue in force the law
 which forbade the public exploitation of games of chance. which means con tiruing ban on gambling at Ostend and Spa this summer, doubtless represents the awakened conScience of Belgium as to amusements of this type. For. of course, while all over Europe the very idea of gayety at a summer resort was viewed
 as impossible without the accompaniment ! of gambling, music and the arts often
 being accessory to the pleasures of the game, still there were many who were
 contrary minded, and there were not want

 the beach at Ostend the resort of the fashionables from all over the world. 1 With the sorrow of the war so fresh
 Belgium evidently feels that the more ol less tawdry relaxations of gambling witf

Strenuous Drive for Memorial Needed

 The cities and towns are thoroughly organized. Here in Jefferson county the best sort of team work is being done, and 100 per gent activities are in evidence in many other counties.
 But if an over-the-top achievement is to be recorded every man and woman must contribute something. The people in the remote and sparsely settled sections as well as in the popu- lous centers must be aroused.
 What made the Liberty Loans so successful in Alabama was the fact that canvassers saw everybody. No one was too far out of the way to escape personal solicitation. The same kind of organization should be in operation now.
