THE DISCONTINUANCE OF
 TRAVELLERS AID REGRETTED

Take the case of poor insane people, Mrs. Worthington said, who come through Birmingham on their way to some institution. They are usually in charge of an officer. Mrs Walpofe and her assistants are right there, ready to render any aid they possibly can; they stand ready to give their assistance and sympathy, which they do generously.
 "A few days ago little sick baby came in on one of the trains,'' Mrs. Worthng- ton said. and had to be carried some distance out from Birmingham. Mrs. Walpole got hack and took the baby to it's destination and saw that every attention was given it. Now, what will become of cases like that if the Tray elers aid is eliminated?"
 T could cite thousands of cases that have come under my own observation said Mrs Worthington, and of course, there are many more. It s up to the railroads to keep this great and good work going. The Y. w. c. A, which has shared the expense of the organiza- tion in the past, has had to forego that activity. consequently the railroads with all their wealth have been asked to do the work, and I feel safe to say that the citizens of Birmingham unanimously desire a continuance of a work that is one of the most important and absolutely necessary in the growth of this city,

HUDDLESTON MAKES
 CARTOON THE BASIS FOR DAMAGE SUIT
Suit Against Age-Herald Now on Trial in Circuit Court Before Judge
 Smith

The suit of Congressman George Huddleston against The Age-Herald is on trial in the circuit court before Judge c. B. Smith.
 The congressman is basing his ac- ton for damages on a cartoon which appeared in The Age Herald April A of last year. which, while not sre- officially labeled, he claims represented him as the Little bolsheviki from Bir- mingham," and as wearing an iron cross on his breast.
 Yesterday afternoon was taken pp entirely with the settlement of plead- ings and these were not finished at the time court adjourned Numerous interrogatories had been propounaed by both sides in the case and the vol luminous lists went into the record with only slight notifications Late in the afternoon counsel argued on a motion of defendant to strike certain clausec of the bill of complaint. It was con- tended that the complainant did not sufficiently identify the congressman as the figure portrayed in the carica- ture and that there were averments of opinion instead of facts, and Judge Weakley of counsel for Huddleston an nonnced that certain amendments would be made this morning.
 The congressman is represented by John W. Altman and Judge Samuel D. Weakley, while The, Age-Herald is represented by Lieut.. Gov N L. Mi.sr and Hugh Morrow
 The case is being followed with un- usual interest because 1t is the drst time in Alabama that suit for dam ages by man holding public office las ever been based upon cartoon. Ths pleadings will probably occupy fur ther time this morning. following which the selection of a jury will be- gin.
 An interesting feature in connection With the suit is that an action of simi- lar nature by Congressman Huddleston against the Birmingham News, based upon an editorial in that newspaper, was also set for trial yesterday Tn Judge Greens division of the circuit court This case is being passed un- til the suit in Judge Smiths division is disposed ,f

SOME OF BIRMINGHAMS PROMINENT MEN
 GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Here are views expressed by some of Birmingham's we'll known men on woman suffrage:
 J. R. Kennemer, president United Mine Workers: T am unqualifiedly for equal rights of women and men. The United Mine Workers of Alabama have gone on record as favoring it, likewise has the national organization. One of the many apparent reasons for my belief in woman suffrage is that wherever women voters interest themselves in the employment of labor, the condition of men, women and children wage earners is always materi- ally improved and benefited. So I hope very much the Alabama legislature wilt ratify the suffrage amendment at the earliest opportunity. I think The Age Herald's stand in favor of woman suf- frage should be highly commended and applauded because it is the first Bir- mingham paper to come out so squarely for the womnn's cause"
 Henry l.. Badham, president Bessemer Coal. Iron and Land company: T was glad to note in Saturdays Age-Herald so strong an editorial favoring equal suffrage. It was a clear-cut policy, pro- suffrage, pro-federal amendment, pro- ratification by the Alabama legislature. The paper is to be congratulated. moi only that it has thrown it's influence on the side of justice and right, but the man. ner of it's doing the big thing in big way"
 Arthur C.. Crowder, former president Chamber of Commerce: For many years 1 have favored votes for women, and am of the opinion that any one who real ly believes in this cause will not question whether it should come by federal or state action. I believe in the quickest. best way, which is the Susan B. Anthony
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-27

Col. Bibb Graves, who recently was in France with the Dixie division, and Rev. John 1nzer, one of the most noted chaplains who served in the American army, will be the principal entertainers at the get-together smoker of service men to be held at the Civic association at s o'clock tonight. Every man who saw ser vice, whether he never got out of Bir- mingham or made a record that will surpass that of Alvin York, is expected to be at the smoker.
 Informal discussions will be the fea- ture of the evening, notwithstanding the fact that information haas leaked about bottle goods that will be served along with the smokes. The advisability of the Jefferson county association of service men entering the American legion will De the principal topic of discussion.
 It was emphatically repeated yester- day that there will be no officers and enlisted men in the service organi1i- tion and that every one connected will be a "memper' and will have exactly the same status of every other man who has joined the organization.
 In line with other organizations similar to the one in Jefferson county, the mat ter of affiiating the national service or ganization, which is the American Legion, will be brought up for general discus-

NOTED SUFFRAGISTS
 TO MAKE SPEECHES
 AT CLUB LUNCHEON

The Birmingham Equal Suffrage as- sociation will give a luncheon at the Southern club at 1 o'clock tomorrow aft ernoon at which speeches will be made by Miss loser hine Miller of Arkansas, Mrs. McMahon of Virginia and Miss Rev. eridge.
 Each of these women has taken a prom inent part in one or more campaigns for the adoption of woman suffrage amend ments to state constitutions and they are expected to have some interesting per sonal experiences to relate.
 Mrs. McMahon and Miss Beveridge took part in the recent campaign in Texas, where the suffrage amendment lost al election last Saturday.
 An interesting musical programme has been arranged for the occasion by Miss Lillian Karpeles.
 The Jefferson county members of the state legislature will be guests at the luncheon.

amendment, now before Congress. hope it will be submitted and ratified by the Alabama legislature. The Age-Herald is on the right tnck in espousing it."
 Charles F. DeBardeleben, vice presiden. Alabama Fuel and Iron company: The Age-Herald's strong editorial on Satur- day pleased me no little, and I am espe- cia4ly glad that the paper did not quib- ble about the method of obtaining equal suffrage for women. It was an interest," ing announcement, favoring the federal amendment. which should, of course, be natified without delay by thme Alabama legislators. The paper is abreast of the times in taking a position of this sort"
 Morris w. Bush, president Rotary club: l: ''The Age-Herald did the right thing in putting itself on record in favor of wom an suffrage in it's straightforward edi- torial Saturday morning. How anyone could fail to grasp the fact that the fed eral suffrage amendment will not alter the state qualifications of voters, except as to sex, is beyond me. The women ot Alabama are as capable. patriotic and trustworthy ns those of New York. Cali fornia, Arkansas, Tennessee or any other state where they vote. The state needs their help, and I think the legislature will welcome it's opportunity of securing it by ratifying the Susan B. Anthony amendment"
 pr. T. D. Park: '.I have been in favor of suffrage for women ever since I was 2t years old, when I read John Stuart Mills book on the 'Subjection of Women.' There has never been any argument against women voting in my mind so l am particularly pleased to see the posi- ton The Age-Herald has taken for it.'
 Rnbbi Morris Newfield; Ut is almost incredible that this republic of ours should hesitate to trust it's womanhood
