I be- lieve it would be the greatest safeguard of our country, for they have all come home loving their home more than they ever did before and knowing how much finer it is than any other spot on earth. It's not only confined to the soldiers, either. 1 hear civilians on all sides eX- pressing wish to see the soldiers form a grand organization.

Urgent Needs For
 Tuberculosis Work

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 May I be allowed to draw your at- tention and the attention of all readers of The Age-Herald to the fact that for many months past the AntiTuberculo- sis association has been thrust out of public view by scores of appeals which have perhaps exhausted some peoples patience.
 We have taken care in some degree of Belgians, serbians and Armenians and other dwellers in distant lands. Attention to the needs of the poor and sick at home has been postponed. New ertheless, our work has gone on stead fly day by day.
 You reported recently our appeal to the city commission for reinstatement among their appropriations. Up to this date we have heard nothing from the city fathers. We have been obliged to incur considerable expenses for re- pairs to make our structures sanitary and safe The cost of living has car ried our budget during the past four years from about s1400 to over 5000 per IHOlllH. ne EdtlO Ol lISt CdScS has increased Almost daily additions are made to our waiting list. Fur thermore. we must provide means to care for children in a department all ready described in your columns under the name of the Mary Rumph Mem D. rial We have in hand s4000 provided chiefly by the Jefferson county chll-
 
 necessary equipment will run to ap- proximately $10,000. We submit that it is not unreasonable to expect the backing of all the people in this mod est undertaking, which will protect and return to normal life not less than 25 children at one time. These will remain in the sanitorium for longer or shorter periods so that the individuals will be constantly chang ing. It is estimated that not less than 100 children will be saved every year 1 by the intensive care thus provided. Furthermore, allow me to present to you one story illustrating the chill dren's need a the same time the press ing demand for the upkeep of the in- stitution. We have in the sanitorium at the present time young woman whose father called on me a day or | two ago to beg that her mother might also be admitted, The mother has an established case of tuberculosis and there are six other children, the l youngest being three and a half years old. The family is supported by tne father, who is a peddler. Does anyone see the meaning or feel the heart break in this instance?
 , Our immediate need is money. May 1 l hope for a steady inflow of gener- ou5 donations even before the women's committee begins to work? Cordially yours, GEORGE EAVES, Secretary. Birmingham, June 1, 1919

UNCLE SAM PAYS GEORGIANS
A HALF MILLION DOLLARS

Atlanta. Ga, April 17.-Twenty
Georgia property owners have receiv-
ed their shares of the half million dol
lars paid by the government for the
land on which Camp Benning will be
located near Columbus.
The chepue for S50O,O00 was distrib-
uted among the owners by Major j.
p. Jones.
In connection with the deal, the
smallest checgue ever drawn by the
government was paid to d l.. Skinner
of Columbus, who received 20 cents
as his share. He had two asres Of
land valued at $50 but taxes and other
charges consumed all of the amount
except the 20 cents. An interesting
feature was that it cost more to Verl-
fy the title for which the twenty
cents chebue was given than il did to
verify the titles to a tract for which
$155.000 was paid.

uation as construed Thursday by
state house officials who are study
ing the effect of the law
Hal NJ. Stanley, state commission
er of commerce and labor, shed
some light on the Subject when he
stated Thursday that factories
whose employees are under the 1u-
risdiction of his department. will be
required to observe the time fixed
by the Barnes law. .,....
This law passed by the legisla-
ture at the recent session and ap-
proved on Wednesday by Governor
Dorsey establishes the present Cen
trail time as the uniform time
throughout the state of Georgia
TIE law goes n effect at midnight
on, the last day of August. The
law makes no provision for setting
back the clocks at midnight on the
last Saturday IN September, as pro-
ViCed by the act of congress abol~
ishing the daylight saving system
In other words, the Barnes law takes

Senator Suggests That
Z ConuresS Go on Strike

Deploring the "conta gion of strike
disease" which he said had appar-
emily spread throughout the world,
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Col
orado, in the senate last week sug-
gested that the disease" be brought
into congress, it's members organize
a union and refuse to legislate until
conditions have been changed, or at
least until the members have been
assured of reelection in 1920.
Senator Thomas contended that
some of the labor difficulties now in
progress throughout the country
were actuated by Bolshevik doctrines.
He said policemen in Washington and
other cities we're forming organiza-
lions which might at some time pre-
vent them from acting in strikes.
He declared that he believed the po
lice of the country should be pre-
vented from entering in:" any obliga-
tions that might handicap them in
fulfilling their duty.
