because of alleged indifference shown to his orders. regarding their wearing at all times on duty tie regu- lation cap of the motorcycle branch of the police service.
 The statement of the ex-seouts is as follows:
 We. the motorcycle scouts of the po- lice department of the city of Birming- ham, wish to state to the public that the charges of Chief Shirley appearing in the papers of February IS and l9 are not based on facts He referred to only one of the accounts, that being the smallest and last mentioned to him, that being an order that we wear regular police regulation caps. This order was carried out to the letter after the oroer was given to us about thirty days ago
 ''The general conditions which we were working under are that the motorcycle force has not been increased any for the mast five years: the number of automo- piles on the streets has doubled many times and automobile thieves h0+e been working constantly for the past several months. We have only eight motor scouts to scout the fifty-two square miles TOT the twenty-four hours, which we couiu not possibly do and give the public the protection they rightly deserve, and even

DELEGATES AT LARGE

"Of course, the selection of Mrs. Jacobs
 as one of the directors at large will
 mean that she will travel great deal. as
 it will be necessary for her to attend all
 meetings. She was one of the five women
 to speak at the ratification dinner and
 made a wonderful impression. She was
 at her best and the talk she made was
 one of the best heard at the convention. An educational campaign will be waged immediately to teach the women real citizenship and it is probable that national workers will be sent to the va rious regional districts to instruct wo1n- en who will then go to very sections of each state and prepare the women to be able to vote when we are given the ballot. The League of Women Voters is lEen-partsan, but all women are urged to enter the political party of their choice. "The first thing woman thinks of in | the way of laws are those which affect women and children, and a committee on l the uniformity of laws which the women will get behind was appointed at the convention. A number of measures of I this kind were adopted and include many l things for the betterment of education. I for the advantage of working women and other things of interest to women. We | feel sure that when such an organiza- | tion of women such as the league is
 gets behind these movements that they will have some weight.

 Voters

With Mrs. solon Jacobs unanimously elected one of the three delegates at large of the League of Women Voters, formed at the national suffrage conven- ton in Chicago, the Birmingham delega- tion returned triumphant yesterday. In the selection of Mrs. Jacobs as one of the three chosen from the entire United States, Birmingham and Alabama has been signally honored, they declare.
 The local suffrage association was rep resented by Mrs. John D. McNeel, Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt, Mrs. A. J. Bowron, Miss Mary Parke London, Mrs. Jacobs and Miss Mollie Dowd
 "As the women felt that the suffrage fight had been won and there was noth- ing for the National Suffrage Association to do, it was absorbed by the League of Women Voters" said Mrs. McNeel This organization will take the place of the suffrage association, and will be won derful thing for the women.
 The United States has been divided into seven regional districts, each of which will have a regional director, and in addition there will be three directors at large. Each year. under the consti- tuition, an annual meeting must be hel1 ir each regional district to be attended by all regional directors. and then the national convention will also be held.

Mrs Carrie Chapman Catts presided in a wonderful manner. It was impos- sible to come within reach of her with out realizing her wisdom and bigness. The National Suffrage Association pre- sented her with handsome sapphire pin surrounded by diamonds, which was de- signed by Tiffany in New York. Blue is Mrs. Catts' favorte color, and she at ways wears it, so the pin was chosen for that reason"
 Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt stated that the demonstration in Chicago was the great est that she had seen since the signing of the armistice, and it was revelation to be there. with the majority Of the state having ratified the amendment, ana others to do so in the very near future. the Alabama delegation felt somewhat forlorn and lonesome she said Ala bama was one of the first and very few states that failed to ratify, the constitu- tional amendment but we were assured that thirty-six states will have ratified if bv April 1, giving to the women Of those states failing to ratify the ballot.

For the Good of
 the Community

A have been organized LOT Cle p0l pooo of educating the general public along lines of civic and social importances. These bureaus are operated in conJunc- ton with welfare organizations and sup ply clubs. Churches and groups of various kinds with speakers at such times as may be requested.
 Among the topics discussed by the bu- reau sneakers are child welfare, Amerl- canization, the church in relation to social work and kindred topics.
 A programme covering serles or meetings and including these subjects has been announced by the bureau in one city:
 ''The Immigrant and the Commu- nity,' "Americanization Work in -
 D 'The Divine Right of Boys, "The Delinquent Girl Saving Baby Lives," Nursing in the School" Found inc Home Work "Your Child and Mine," Child Desertion, "The Boy Po- lice Movement as Prevention of Juve- nile Crime" ''The Church and Social Vel fare,' "A Real Home Mission, "The Common Good" "Education,' 'Educa- ton of Children Citizenship" Train ing for Citizenship Training for the Home,' "Co-operation Between the Home and the School, Lectures on va rious diseases and their prevention, "The Consumers League" 'The Industrial Sit uation, Women and Work, ''The Wo- man Citizen" "The Tramp at Our Back Door," What Makes Folks Poor?' Psychology of the Child, Social Ser vice Exchange" "Red Cross Work Good Roads and Civilization" Food Conservation, Housing, Recreation.
 The speakers, as will be seen from the programme discuss almost every prob lem that confronts the welfare worker, and as only those qualified by study and training to talk on the topics assigned them are engaged to make these speeches. the bureaus seem destined to accomplish much good in their respective cities
 Welfare work has not received much attention in Birmingham, possibly not as much as the average city of her size and importance and of similarly mixed na- tionalities and races.
 That there is need of this kind of work here will hardly be questioned. It is needed in every city, both large and small.
 Cleanliness and orderliness would be good subjects for speeches to Birming- ham audiences. Not that Birmingham people are not clean, but their city is not clean. That is patent to everyone. They are orderly as individuals, but-well, sometimes they forget.
 There are lot of things trained and well advised speakers could discuss be- fore audiences with profit to the city and | the citizens.
 II Birmingham might take leaf out of H the book of experience of other cities and II trv out a bureau of speakers patterned after those referred to in this article.
