Like all others, the telephone workers are
the victims of the high cost of living, and the

No one can do good work when living costs
equal, or exceed their income.
There was but one thing to do-the en-
ployees wages had to be increased to meet
the costs of living.
The interests of the public, and the inter-
ests of our workers, equally, required that
this be done.

increased from $228,548 to $554,742.o8

 She was present at the organization Of the school of foreign methods in the Chamber of Commerce and expressed
 herself as delighted with this venture Speaking on this subject, she said:
 "The Chamber of Commerce of Lon
 don has since 1890 been conducting ex-
 amnations and issuing certificates for commercial proficiency and the system
 has proven successful.
 In Paris there have been special schools under the direction of the Cham Der of Commerce and minister of com merce to provide commercial education. In Germany there has long been q
 number of highr schools of commerce.
 plan forl commercial education has
 been established by the New York Cham Der of Commerce. We are glad to see the Chamber of Commerce of Birming- ham pioneer in this great movement in in the south, Mobile following.
 We are writing to chambers of com merce throughout the south and feel sure of cooperation. South America is our opportunity; the markets of South America, especially those of Brazil and the Argentine Republic, are the most inviting in the world The moment is psychological It is not only our priv ilege but our duty to study the language, the manners and customs of our sister country and learn to trade with her. 'NNe should use our gold to develop her vast wealth. and it would come back to us in trade We believe in great future for Birmingham and have conft- dence n her commercial leaders, who will see the importance of education for foreign trade and give scholarships to plight young men and women who see the world game and wish to prepare to enter the arena

 double the figures for the corresponding

 sixty-eight men applied for enlistment
 for various reasons, the principal one or
 which being the inability of applicants to
 furnish evidence of their age The army
 will accept men over IS years of age pro-
 vided evidence of the fact is produced,
 and men over 16 years of age with the
 consent of their parents.
 The rejection for physical disability in
 this district is relatively small. Of the
 total number accepted during Septem- Der, sixteen were illiterate and a very large percentage of the others accepted had only an elementary education There
 were none accepted who were skilled in trade Tn fact, the great majority i of those enlsting dc so for the purpose of learning trade in the army schools and shops. which are maintained for the reason that the army must train its own men to do it's work. Those deficient in 1 eQucat1On are required 10 take up the necessary studies that will enable them ] to make satisfactory progress in voca- | tional work.
 l The recruiting service accepted during
 the past month 6,350 men for the army. l It Is not reasonable to assume that this Urge number of men enlisted for the pay allowed by law, or that they enlisted
 for adventure. A very large majority of
 the men entering the army from the Ala bama district, according to their own
 sta tement, do so for the reason that they want to improve themselves by taking advantage of the opportunities offer ed them in the army. opportunities which have been denied them in childhood. Of course there are many schools in civil life where various callings arc taught but student who goes there must pay his money for the tuition and
 at the same time he must live. In the army this is all free. The army realizes and accepts the responsibility placed upon it. the training. the advancement and the improvement of men Hooking to it's colors and is prepared to justify its claim of being the greatest training school in the world.
