THE WOMAN'S CLUB

The third meeting Of the Woman's
Club was held at the Club Room on
Jackson street. Wednesday after
noon, October I. There was a large
attendance.
After the regular business meet
ing. Mrs. Charles Lewis gave a re-
port Of the Educational Committee,
recommending a High School for
Berea. followed later by consolida-
ton of smaller districts.
Reasons why Berea should have
a Public High School are:
1. A High School Education is
very rapidly becoming essential TO
the development Of The highest type
Of citizenship.
,. IL is impossible for a private
high school TO do for a community
what a High School should do
build up a high type Of community
spirit.
3. IL is impossible 10 secure the
largest amount Of good from the
elementary school and hold any
great number Of pupils thru the
grades unless they are brought to
look upon the eighth grade gradual
tion as necessary in order to gain
admittance into the high school.
1. Private education is more ex-
pensiVe.
5. A private institution must make
rules to meet the needs Of its board
ing students. These rules often
prevent town pupils attending
school.
"Berea can support a High School.
The taxable wealth is s650OOO. A
5O-cent levy produces $3.50 for the
school. But we have a
65-cent levy, Is cents is in the
fund and 80 cents is used
for the elementary schol. A 90
cent High School tax would produce
81 800. II we could get the county
to duplicate this, il would give
$1,000. For High School principal
$1,000, one High School teacher
$1,000, leaving 500 for equipment.
Our finances are such that we
have a right to vote at least $1,000
more bonds. If we can get the
county to supplement this, we will
have $1,000 toward Building.
Madison County has a county
High School at Union City, in the
north end of the county: one at
Waco, in the northeastern part.

Inadequate Appropriations Forces AbOlishment of All
 State Branches
By Associated Pre-.

Washington, July l.-When the confer ence report on the sundry civil bill reached the Senate it met with vigorous opposition because of reduction of funds for the United States employment ser vice from s4oo,OOO to $2oO000, which limits expenditures in Washington headquar- ters and abolished state branches.
 Senators Kenyon, republican, of Iowa, and Ashurst, Arizona, and Robinson. Arkansas, democrats, criticised the con- ference action severely, aiming their at tacks especially at Senators Warren of Wyoming and Smoot of Utah, repub- ncan members of the conference com mittee.
 MT Kenyon said the fate of the em- ployment service illustrates the abundant capacity of republican leadership for making mistakes. Republican stand-pat leadership can take the responsibility, :" the Iowa senator said, adding that the amendment for commission for a fed eral budget plan, which the conferees struck from the bill, alsp had been ''torpedoed'
 Senator Ashurst charged that the em- ployment service was "torpedoed and sunk without a trace" He and Senator Robinson denied that the service has discriminated in favor of union labor and urged it's continuation to provide employment for discharged soldiers and sailors.
 Chairman Warren of the appropria tions committee and Senator Shoot declared they yielded only to insistent House de- mands for reduction of appropriations.

 "When I began taking Tanlac, MT. Collins continued, T had trouble With my stomach and was in such an awfui condition that I could not patrol ny beat My food would sour and Keep me filled with gas and 1 was mlser- able all the time. My whole body seemed full of neuralgia and rheuma- tism. I ached in every joint and the pain in the left side of my back, over my kidneys. was so terrible at times that I could hardly stand it. Nothing did me any good and finally just had to give up my position.
 II tried everything but never got any better until I started taking Tan lac I have used six bottles now, and have gotten rid of neuralgia and rheu- matism entirely and never felt an acne or a pain.

Work of Thomas M. Owen

To the editor of the Age-Herald.
 In recent issue of the Age-Herald MT George Rogers of Birmingham has attempted to throw cold water on the memorial to be built to commemorate the valor of living American soldiers of the Standardization war and in memory of those soldiers and sailors in this world conflict who made the su- preme sacrifice to save civilization.
 He makes this attempt by impugn- ing the motives of MT. Tom Owen, dl- rector of archives and historian be- cause the care of the memorial IS 10 be under this deparment.
 He states that Tom owen put one over on the people and secured for himself a bonus of ten thousand dollars ms charge is made rather by insinuation than direct accusation.
 I suppose that the records will show as the suggestion was made in writ ing, that the writer made the recom- mendation that the memorial take the form of a building and that this build ing be in the care and custody of the department of archieves and history, and that in it should be kept record of the men who fought in this war and the relics of the battle fields.
 This suggestion met a hearty recep- tion by the memorial commission, and after hearings had been given to all who cared to be heard, the plan was
 
 adopted.
 [ am going to assume that MT. Rogers would not knowingly do MT. Owen an injustice-that he has done so is due to his lack of information
 There is no more widely respected nor more justly beloved man in the state than Tom Owen, He deserves it all because he has earned it by his fairness. justice and honesty in public office and by his devotion to the duties of this office.
 In many of the states there is com mission maintained at considerable eX- pense to help put proposed legislation | in proper form for passage. We have no such commission in Alabama, but one would be badly needed if it were not for the services rendered to the l legislators in helping them shape their l bills by Tom owen. Many legislators | do not need aid of this kind; many 1 others do, for all of us are not skilled 1 in drafting laws We are lacking either l in style. facility of expression or a | knowledge of legal forms. We may | know ever so well what kind of law we want to submit for passage. but we are unable to proprely word the propos- | ed law.
 The department of archieves and his l tory gives those of us who need It all | the help of this kind that we require. The help is given courteously, gra- 1 tiously, without charge and without | comment on the wisdom or expediency of the proposed legislation. No man will make the statement that MT. Owen has ever tried to influence or impede the passage of law in which he or his department was affected.
 He never obtrudes his advice nor his services to the members of the legisla- ture but those who know him well know him to be efficient painstaking courteous and honest, honest not simply as to dollars and cents, but that he has an honest mind. that he will not stoor ito take advantage or do an unfair thing and that he is unselfish and consecrated in his efforts to be of use in his day anc generation.
 Sincerely,

The Isiah Washington Case
the Editor of the Age-Herald.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 Be informed the case styled 1salh Washington, administrator vs. Birming- ham Southern railroad company ap- pealed by the plaintiff from Jefferson circuit court was revised and remanded bv the supreme court of Alabama, and was so repealed by that court on June 19, 1919,
 That means. that the railroad com pany lost in the high court of Alabama. The suit is for s100,000 and grew out of the Mulga or Bay View crossing ac- cident about two years ago when the said railroad company recklessly ran a train over a jitney automobile killing and injuring several people. This is the third time the supreme court of Alabama has decided against the rail- road company in cases growing out of this smash up.
 You report this case in your daily of June 21 as though the supreme court had set aside the judgment or verdict, Isiah Washington decred and reversed the case in favor of the railroad which is misleading and not true. Isiah Wash ington also is not connected with the case against the Cruise-Crawford Ma chine company which was reversed in favor of the machine company. Yours truly, ED. WETZEL-

NEW RECORD HUNG UP BY RAILROADS
 UNDER U, S. CONTROL

UNDER U. S. CONTROL"
 There is another new record which the railroads are making under United States control which l wish to call your atten- tion to, which feel sure that you have not been informed of. It will not be necessary to go into any special details except to tell you the actual facts that l know, which I think when the atten- tion of the Alabama legislature is called to it, they will take measures to pro- vide against such occurrences.
 On May g l left Baltimore on a train
 carrying a through Pullman car from New York to New Orleans. A lady, with two small children, had reservation in the same Pullman car that 1 had mine. The children were of an age that they had to occupy the berth with the mother.
 The train left Baltimore about or S:30 D. m, and Washington about $50 or 10 D. m. This lady had retired with her
 two children, occupying the lower berth.
 At Washington negro man came aboard
 the train and he was put in the upper
 berth over this lady with her two little
 children. This negro had a through
 ticket from Washington through
 Virginia Tennessee and little corner of Georgia, through the state of Ala f bama down into or through Mississippi.
 This was on train known as No. fl, leav- ing Washington on the night of May 23. Returning from Birmingham of June 5, after great difficulty l managed to get reservation in a Pullman to Roanoke, Va. The car was overcrowded all the way up, white passenger after passenger, to my certain knowledge, were refused res ervaton in this car; somewhere between Knoxville and Bristol, Va, I think at Johnson City, Tenn, two negro men came into this car and were assigned to section 1, the lower berth of section ?, opposite section 1 was occupied by young lady. Section 2, next to section l, was occupied by two young ladies. It is well recognized fact that the newspapers mold public opinion. After i reading your news item, I am wonder 1 ing if the government control of rail- roads are starting a propaganda to con /, tinue the operation of the railroads. These facts which I have given you in regard to the passenger accommodation are not exaggerated. It is a fact, and every word of it is true.
 l If this is the policy of the government control of railroads, personally, and you will find 90 per cent of the white men of 1 Alabama with me, to h. with United 1 States government control of railroads. 1 It is not at all necessary to call your l attention to the annoyance of having to
 meet these negro men in the toilet and wash room You can imagine what it is. | Respectfully, w. C. FELLOWS. i Baltimore, June S, 1919

Before that time he was so that he could not eat anything hardly without suffering agony afterwards. The food lay in his stomach, fermented. causing watery belching and much gas. Every mouthful of food was like taking so much agony into his system. His breathing was difficult when the gas formed For eight weeks he scarcely ate anything, trying to give his sto;n- ach a chance, but he got very weak and could do no work and was almost exhausted.
 .Today he is back on the job. doins . full days work right along with the other men. He eats anything ne craves and his stomach digests il without pain, gas or belching His bowels act regular. kidneys are strengthened and liver active. He gives the entire credit for his recov- cry to Dreco, and it has done for hin what nothing else ever could"
