Fasting and Prayer"
 Theme of Dr. Hobbs

Fasting Is not essential to Christian ity." said Dr. James Randolph Hobbs yesterday morning to we'll filled house. His subject was Fasting and Prayer" He said in Tart:
 religious service only. but today it is considered by many as a cure for all all- ments. The real meaning of the word fasting is the absence of certain foods al certain times. Herbert Spencer explains it's origin is two hypotheses First the early people spread feast for the dead. consequently denying themselves of food. Fasting and grief were thus asso- ciated together. It was discovered that when men lasted they elevated their souls and thought less of body and moro of spiritual things, thus the soul could commune with the Divinity. They arr

There were no new developments in the local strike situation yesterday. That there will be a strike is certain. but not even the labor leaders eau state definitely how many or what proportion of the employees will fail to respond when the o'clock whistle blows this morning. They state that there IS nothing to be added to their statements of Saturday. al which time they claimed that the enthusiasm for the strike was growing hourly among the union men and that new men were falling in line every minute.
 That all those in the unions will strike seems positive: how many not affiliated with unlons will walk out no one can say, for no one knows or has any way of ascertalning just what the ac.ion of each individual will be. The steel officials claimed Satur- day that their plants would not nave to shut down. that the labor leaders here had not had time to organize suf- ficiently to accomplish their end. while E. s Ingram. local secretary of the national committee on organization of iron and steel workers, stated just as emphatically that there will be a complete tie-up; We are expecting a 100 per cent walkout."

THE NEED OF RESTRAINT

Restraint is needful in the home. Israel went into anarchy because Eli failed to restrain his boys. "We scatter seed with careless hands. And dream we'll see him never more, But for a thousand years their fruit re-
 turns
 In seeds that mar the lands
 There is the inherent disposition dwell- ing in every breast and there is need of restraint.
 'Tis better to weave in the web of life, A bright and glorious filing, To do Gods words with patient hands. And hearts that are brave and willing, Than to snap the tender, delicate threads Of curious lives asunder,
 And sit and grieve and wonder
 Ut is much better to have them trample upon toes while young than on the heart strings when they are older.

SMALL ADVANCE
 IN RETAIL PRICE
 OF FALL SHOES
Ten Per Cent Estimated for Mems Footwear and 20 Per Cent for WOmen's.
 Material Higher

Investigation of the report of vari- ous big increases in the retail price of fall shoes reveal much misunder standing as to the real situation, and prevailing rumors that shoes will be from 8 to s5 more a pair than last year have been found to be inaccurate,
 Good authorities have estimated that the increase will average 20 per cent on women's shoes and 10 per cent on mems. Investigations made yesterday showed that shoes retailing for sS last year and which were $S.50 month ago are s9 now and that shoes that sold for s11 last season are $12.50 and SIS now. In some cases the advances have been greater. especially in the finest of women's shoes, which require perfectly clean and unspotted leather. But in other cases, where the shoes are made of side leather and are lower in quality, there is less than 10 per cent increase. In all shoes except those of the very highest quality. es- pecially the colored shoes, which re- quire perfectly clean leather, spots can be covered over with rope" and made not noticeable and these have not advanced as much as the higher priced ones
 High-class ladies' shoes that last year sold for $16 are s20 now, while some of the more serviceable women s shoes have increased from prices around $1o to about SIP.
 Labor in shoe factories. it is esti- mated. is paid about 50 per cent more than early last year Leather that sold for 50 cents a foot before the war last year cost the manufacturer % cents foot and ks now $1.5o foot. About three and ohe-half feet are re- quired to make a pair of women's shoes. These conditions have been factors in the wholesale price of shoes going up, which has been greater, 1t is declared. than the increase made in prices by the retail merchants In ad = dition. it has been pointed out that shoe salesmen In Birmingham are pad 25 per cent more than they were last year.
 investigations have shown that standard makes of shoes are retailing in Birmingham for less than in many other southern cities. the difference ranging fro m50 cents to g a pair. and 1t Is taken the comparison Is true for other shoes.
 Competition in retail shoe stores is said by wholesale shoe salesmen and others to be keener in the south than in any other part of the union. In Birmingham there are more than 100 retail shoe dealers This alone, it Is said, is sufficient to prevent profiteor- 1 ing on shoes here

CHIEF SHIRLEY TALKS

When seen yesterday, Chief Shirley admitted that the Ensley precinct was almost separate from the central head quarters He said, "Ensley is so far distant from Birmingham that the captain there works practically inde- pendent of us here. It is left entirely to his own discretion whether he re- ports what happens there, if he thinks the matter serious enough he comes in to see me, otherwise we hear noth- ing of it. We send him from the cen tral headquarters a daily statement or all things that should be brought to his notice AS general rule criminal matters are promptly reported; less at tention is paidsto happenings that come under other heads"
 It is admitted that Ensley and Bir- mingham are a few miles apart, un- questionably the captain in charge should exercise discretion and initiative, But it is suggested that some rule be put in force in order that it may be known in Birmingham if anything so important as an unidentified man be- ing mortally injured happens in Ensley. Hundreds of people go back and forth between the two parts of Greater Bir- mingham every day; what happens in Ensley happens in Birmingham. And the police departments in the two local ities should function as one big whole rather than as two separate depart mentS.

BIRMINGHAM AND
 !. ENSLEY PRECINCTS SHORT ON LARSON
Central H Headquarte e e r s Searched Day and Night for Man Ensley Precinct
 Was Trying tOIdentify
By HENRY R. GRAY. JR.

For a long time it has been an ad- mitted fact that the police department of Birmingham is far too small for a city of it's size. At night people in the residential sections are practically without protection; if help is needed telephone call brings an officer sooner or later. If some other person has sent in call for help just ahead of you it is usually necessary to wait until one of the motorcycle men re- turns to headquarters. Because of a shortage of officers street traffic is regulated in Birmingham only at cer- tain hours; from ten until four. all way a busy time on the streets, people shift for themselves and it is wonderful that there are not more accidents.
 It is said that these conditions are necessary; that the city has not the money to maintain larger force. If this be true we must make the best of it, but at least the maximum amount of efficiency should be developed in the force at hand; there should be com plete cooperation in all departments and precincts. This does not seem to be the case at the present time.
 LACK OF LARSON
 On last Thursday E. H. Taylor, or Birmingham, left his house, without saying when he would return. Late that day his son, M. B. Taylor, notified the city police department that Ire was missing, asking that every effort be made to locate him. Late Thursday afternoon an unknown man was struck by a car at Pratt City Junction and carried to the Ensley Infirmary, which promptly notified the Ensley police station and described the injured mar as being "siXty-five or seventy years old, with the initials E. H. T. on his fob" Both police forces exerted every effort to solve the mysteries in theii respective limits. In Birmingham they were seaching for a missing man; IT Ensley they sought to establish the identity of an unknown man who hac been injured They continued theil efforts for more than twenty foul hours
 Friday night the Age-Herald was in formed of the accident in Ensley by its correspondent there As soon as the report came in it was recognized thai the injured man ''sixty-five or seventy years old, with the initials E. H. T. or his fob" must be MT. Taylor His family was notified and on investiga' tion found MT. Taylor in the Ensley Infirmary so seriously injured tha he died Saturday evening.
 It would seem that if there were any sort of liaison between the EnsleS station and the central headquarters Mir. Taylor's presence in Ensley would have been communicated to his family much sooner, thereby saving them un- necessary uncertainty and worry It is all one department and the head ough to keep informed what the other parts of the body are doing.
