"N" buttons are the thing. They

 The people of Birming hnn and

 WOMEN SELL S50,OO0 The women did well at the booths yesterday.
 Mrs. Joe Norman, chairman, reported last night that the women in charge of the booths took in over s5O,O00 dur ing the day. This idea, which worked so well in the campaign last fall is proving equally as popular in this drive.
 More enthusiasm was manifest among the workers and the people gen orally yesterday than on any day since the present drive began, Part of this pep was attributed to the wonderful effect of the two speeches of United States Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer who revealed part of the in ner workings of the Hun .commercia, organiza ton built up in this country prior to the war. and to his eloquent appeals to the people to preserve the honor of their country.

IN MEXICO GROWS
 IN INTEREST

MEXICO CITY, July i Correspond ence of Associated ess).-Although the presidential election in Mexico is not scheduled to be held until July of next year, political alignments are taking form.
 The newspaper Excelsior, in a re- cent issue, reviewing the political sit uation, declared that a canvass of the governors of the various states showed these chiefs to have the following preferences: Ten for General AlvarO Obregon, five for General Pablo Con- zales, one for Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury; one for Aguirre Der langa, secretary of the interior; one for a civilian candidate as yet un- named and undecided. These varied selections give some hint, at least, as to what men are being considered for the honor.
 General Obregon at present is not in active army service, being engaged in private business in Sonora. Gen. Gonzales is at the head of the govern ment forces of Oaxaca, following his pacifcation of the state of Morelos, 1 eliminating in the death of Zapata. | He has not openly pronounced him. self a candidate, but has issued sev- eral letters in which he challenges statements credited to General Obre- gon, and in one asks the latter to sign a pact with him that, in any event, | the decision at the polls will be final. | General Obregon as yet has not re- piled.
 It is rumored in the capital that sev- eral generals now in the field have presidential ambitions.
 El Heraldo de Mexico, a newcomer in the journalistic field here, is at tempting to unite the various factions in Mexico into one political party which, agreeing in matters of govern mental policy, shall determine upon candidate and elect him.
 To date none of the leading news papers of the capital has publicly pledged it's support to any avowed or potential candidate.

PORTO RICANS
 WANT CHANGE
 TOSHIP FRUITS

SAN JUAN, June 27 Correspond ence of Associated Press) Fruit growers of Porto Rico have asked the Emergency Fleet Corporation to equip one hundred steamships as refrigera- tor vessels to carry fruit not only be- tween Porto Rico and the mainland but between the United States, South America and European countries.
 The fruit growers have submitted to the corporation memorandum say ing that each ship should have from 100000 to 100000 cubic feet of re- frigerator space. They assert that last year they lost money on their products because of insufficient ton mage and because none of it was equipped with even partial refrigera- tion facilities. The statement declares that, aside from the lines engaged in the banana-carrying trade, the United States has not more than a dozen partly-equipped insulated refrigerator ships
 These proposed refrigerator ships, it is urged by the fruit growers, should have a speed of from twelve to fourteen knots. It is pointed out that few freighters of such speed now are afoat. The Porto Ricans argue that shipping from the United States to South America must pass through the tropics, and that in doing so per ishable products carried in the holds of ordinary ships are delivered in- variably in a partly-damaged COndi- tion. They say also that refrigerator ships are needed to carry apples from North Atlantic ports, such as New York, Philadelphia and Boston, to Eng land and Scotland, and that for lack of such ships apples now suffer loss in transit
 They estimate that the crops of or anges, grapefruit and pineapples for the coming season probably will double that of last year, and foresee a heavy loss unless adequate ships of an insulated type are provided to carry these crops.

such work as Mr.. Hale will exhibit.

become associated in the minds of

many other good wo<ds. they have
been so misused thai they have be
come misleading.
When William Morris advocated the
revival of the Handicrafts it was
with the object ofibringing back into
existence beautiful objects finely
wrought. But thd failing in talent
or in patience Substituted eccen-
tricity for merit. and thus arose the
popular misunderstanding.
There is today. however, and there
always will be, demand for things
which are really beautiful. Last year
the sales of the Arts and Crafts So
