CREEL's "DELOUsING.-


 From Harvey's Weekly.
 With the same fine courtesy and ex- quiste taste with which he character ized the minds of the nations represen- tatives in Congress as a "slum,' the Presidents creel now announces%his inten- tion of engaging in the "delousng" pro- cess of which. he says. our public life stands in need. He neglects to specify whether his activities in that respect are to be subjective or objective, but we should naturally assume them to be the former in view of his statement that he has resigned his official place. Certainly the process to which he so gracefully oc- CUTS could not be more efficiently and gratefully promoted than it would be by his own retirement from public life. To that end we must hope that the Presi- dent, at whatever cost of personal regret, will not delay further to accept thes creers resignation.

B. F. Samuels, who has been for some time in charge of the farm work of Ala bama for the United States employment service, has been furloughed from the service.

Several thousand men have been directed to farm work in Alabama during the past few months by the em- ployment service.
 MT. Samuels has accepted the work of director for the Montgomery territory in the coming campaign for funds for the Salvation Army.

FOodstuffs Still High

~.Why is it." asked T. H. Aldrich, Sr.. yesterday, that every time the weather turns cold for day there. is an ad- vance of cents in the price of butter and then when it turns warm, it de- clines only cent?
 Il have noticed lately that with every cool breeze butter jumps up several times as much as it drops the next day when the weather warns up. The same is true of eggs.
 Prices of foodstuffs must come down or the people will not be able to buy them much longer Here it is spring and butter is up around 80 cents pound, yet I understand there are more butter and eggs in storage today than at any one time in many years"

Praises Age-HeraId

I want to congratulate The Herald for its enterprise and public spirit in publishing the For the Good of the Com munity' articles which understand are to be a regular feature of the paper" said J. Kirk Jackson.
 We have good city here and we can make it the greatest city in the south by working together and boosting. I think every man and woman in Birming- ham should avail themselves of every opportunity to speak a good word for their city. That's the way to build and grow and become great. And that is all Birmingham needs to make her the leading city, industrially, commercially and in every other respect, in the south. |"

Commercial Advance
 Of the LoWly Peanut

6N HE New York Times calls atten-
 U tion to the fact and presents figures to sustain the contention that the world war brought the peanut into it's own. Before 1914 peanut oil was "almost unknown as an article of domestic manufacture"
 But in 1917 the ouput of peanut oil had so increased that it ranked third among all the vegetable oils made from homegrown products. It was exceeded only by cotton seed oil and Iinseed oil, and it has the advantage that it can be "obtained by cold press ing like olive oil, and becomes there by superior table oil."
 Peanut oil has the advantage, too, over cotton seed oil, in that the cake, after the oil is pressed out, forms a "palatable human food very high in protein" :"
 Also a great gain in the production of peanuts is found in peanut butter, now universally esteemed.
 Of noteworthy interest on the sta tistical side of peanuts is the leading position that Alabama takes in this agricultural industry. Alabama is not simply one of the largest producers of peanuts. It is "far and away" the peanut premier.
 Virginia used to be famed for it's peanuts, but the Old Dominion has dropped to fourth or fifth place in point of production, to say the least.
 From a recent report of the United States agricultural department the following is gleaned:
 In the case of shelled peanuts the total holdings reported for the above named classes of dealers amounted to 39, ,7S4, 1895 pounds, of which the ware. houses held 14,50S,569 pounds, the confectioners 6,413,265 pounds, the peanut cleaning and shelling plants 4, ,631 ,645 pounds and the peanut but ter manufacturers 3,085,699 pounds. The total stocks of shelled peanuts were 126.6 per cent of the holdings reported year ago.
 Of the total holdings reported for unshelled peanuts, 114,364,367 pounds, Virginia held 16,234,712 pounds, Geor- gia 31,549,717 pounds, Alabama 45,-. 459, ,598 pounds and Texas 12,564, ,7s6 pounds.

DANGER IN LABOR SITUATION
Woman Member of British Parliament
Predicts UpheavaI, Either Po-
litcal or Industrial,

"Any employer who does not see
there are elements of combustion IN
the English labor situation, as well as
elsewhere in Europe, is burying his
head in the sand" according to Mary
Macarthur the first woman In Eng
land elected to parliament, visiting in
the United States. She said:
Labor leaders in England are ex-
pecting a general election to be called
at any time as result Of the present
Industrial situation.
"The immediate problem In England
Is the dislocation of the labor market.
One million women are out Of EN-
ployment and many more men. The
state unemployment donations offer no
solution.
''The trades unions and the labor
party are determined to put a cor
structive policy before the country and
the government will have to meet It.
The state has produced reports by the
hundreds, but we only have reconstruc-
ton on paper. ~
"When. the state donation ceases and
soup kitchens open and private charity
comes and unemployment demonstra-
lions take place, as they soon will on
greater scale than has ever been known
in Great Britain before, upheaval Is
going to come.
whether it will be political or in
dustrial is not yet quite clear. The
groups which l represent desire it to
take political form, as we think 1t Is
possible to have a peaceful revolution.
"But whether peaceful or not, It
is bound to come. We have the labor
and we have the equipment, and yet
nothing is done. If visitor from an
other planet came down and looked
at us think he would think we were
managed by lunatics."

More than one-fourth, or 6,204, OF
the 1e,546 children between fourteen
and sixteen years of age to whom GER
tlficates were issued by the children's
bureau could not sign their names

In the five states where federal GER
tificates were issued by the children's
bureau 1880 white children between
Ia and 10 years old were certificated.
Only TAI Of them had reached the
eighth grade in school. OF 1,166 col
ored children to whom certificates were
issued, only 40 reached the eighth
grade. In other words, 95 per cent
of the white children and 81 per cent
of the colored children had not reached
the eighth grade In school.

NEW LAW EXPECTED TO
PUT END TO CHILD LABOR

The revenue act, signed by the
president, has not gone about
sowing seeds of rejoicing among
the people of America, but
nevertheless Its provisions con-
fer one positive boon on the
country. We refer, of course,
to the new means which 1t has
found for striking down the evils
Of child labor by use Of the
congressional power to levy
taxes. Hereafter any mine or
quarry which employs children
under the age of 16 years, or
any manufacturing establish
ment which employs children I'M
der the age of IA years, or works
children between Ia and 16 years
Of age more than eight hours a
day, will find fiat tax OF 10
per cent levied on It's net prof,
it's, over and above any and all
the taxes imposed by the nu-
merous other clauses of the rev.
enue act. 1t is to be assumed
that this provision will stamp
out wrongful child labor quite
as effectively as the former law
was controlling 1t before the Su-
preme court declared that that
particular use of the federal po-
lice power was unconstitutional.

MISTAKE TO CUT WAGES NOW
President of Employers Association
Urges Attention Be Given to Re-
duction of Unit Costs.

At the annual meeting Of the VIII
mington Del.) Employers associa-
ton, G. d. Garretson, president, said
that he believed q reduction in wages
of employees ut this time would be a
great mistake, claiming more attention
should be given to the reduction of
unit costs by making labor more eff
ficient. He said the drones and shift
less workmen must be eliminated that
we may have our business structure
on an economical, sound basis to go
ahead In the future.
J. Philip Bird, general manager Of
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton of America, urged the co-opera-
ton Of employee and employer citing
the instance In his own state, New
Jersey, where the two work hand In
hand and where every labor bill before
being presented to the state legisla-
ture is acted upon by joint confer
ence of employers and employees.
The bills thus presented have always
passed unanimously. The speaker
stated this is the only method to be
pursued to avoid conflicts between the
employer and employee.
