special sessions of the legislature in order to do so. No state has as yet rejected the amendment, and the National Wo-
 man Suffrage association is sure of more than the necessary 36 notifications as soon
 as opportunity is given the legislatures.
 Alabama will have the opportunity Of being the first southern state to ratify. Nothing in the suffrage amendment will interfere with the existing voting quail fications (except that of sex), in this state. The voting qualifications in Ala bama at present are as follows: The voter must be male; he must be 21 years of age or over; he must have resided in the state, county. and precinct a stipu- lated length of time; he must register.
 and in order to register he must pay poll tax, and must either be able to read or write, or he tor his wife) must be paying taxes on $500 in real or per sonal estate. If the suffrage amendment is ratified, not one of the above qualifi- cations of a voter will be changed, ex- cept the first, the word male will be stricken out. It will easily be seen that | the race question cannot become an issue | in this matter, because of the fact that | the same qualifications, which now insure | the control of the male negro vote will apply with equal force to the female negro vote when the amendment goes into oper- ation Opinions from several prominent constitutional lawyers of this state to | the above effect have been made public.
 Sentiment throughout the state is said

SHUMWAY TALKS ON COMMUNITY SINGS Sing Director Talks of the War Camp Community
 Service

What is the object of community sing ing as conducted by the war camp com munity service? This is the question that is being as..ed by many people since the
 establishment of headquarters by this or
 ganization in Birmingham.
 Community singing is inevitably con
 nected with the development of hospital ity for soldiers and sailors and for their entertainment, according to Edward F.
 Shumway, community sing organizer for
 the war camp community service. Until every man in the service or Uncle Sam s home and in good jop,
 the war camp community service will conduct community singing" said MT Shumway, that the spirit of hospital ity, friendliness and service to the re- turning soldiers will be widespread in the community It is also the purpose of our community singing to convey to the peo- pie, through what the song leaders say between the songs. the necessary inform alton and messages which war camp has in the community.
