INCLINED TOO MUCH
 TO FEMALE STYLES

Absolutely nude with the exception of black hat which he wore, an ap- parently insane man appeared on the streets near Bullion plaza at Miami Saturday afternoon and frightened the inhabitants of that suburb by his crazy actions and lack of attire. Off, ficers were summoned, but the man had disappeared into the brush before their arrival. Posses of officers and citizens are searching the brush and hills surrounding Bullion plaza and the Live Oak tunnel for the nut.

CHOOSING AMONG THE GREAT


 From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Since everybody knows that all wom- en love soldier. it is not matter for surprise to learn that of 5000 French women who answered the question put by Paris fashion magazine, Femina, What great man would you marry if you could?r 1000 answered Marshal Foch"
 Next to the soldier, the literary man was popular with these women, and the French novelist. Flaubert, received the next largest number of votes,to Marshal Foch: and this despite the fact that Flaubert was a merciless dissecter of women's souls. while Dante, the poet, who cherished an extravagant and life long love for one woman, received but one vote.
 Of course the Italian poet-soldier. Gabrielle D'Annunzio, with his spectacu- uar descent on Plume, appealed to the romantic French women, and eighteen of them said they would like to marry him.
 President Woodrow Wilson received the votes of four women as their choice for husband, fact which 1t would be interesting to compare with what he might have received in such I contest two years ago

ALABAMA MAY TAKE A HAND


 The committee appointed by Cover nor kilby to investigate the general strike in the Alabama coal fields has reported that operators and union lead- CTS are equally responsible for present conditions which have resulted in blood shed and threaten general paralysis of industry, and that as usual the pub lie is the only sufferer from the strike. It advocates the passage of a bill, which It has prepared, creating a coal com mission of three. to be appointed by the supreme court, to bring about state control of the coal industry.
 The governor has approved the bill and it will be introduced at the spe- oial session of the legislature now in session.
 New Orleans, largely dependent upon the Alabama coal fields for fuel, has a strong interest in the adjustment of this dispute and the resumption of coal min ing. There Is peace now in the coal in dustry in every part of the nation ex- cept in Alabama. Officials and opera tors talk hopefully of the accumulation of old time coal stocks and even of re- duction of the present high prices. It would be unfortunate should the section served by the Alabama coal fields be the only one Neft under threat of a coal shortage in the face of approach ing winter.

Souvenir of the War
 Well Worth Preserving

17 HE AGE-HERALD has receiVeo
 from the A. E. F. Publishing association, Minneapolis, complete file of "The Stars and Stripes" con ..;n;nq the seventy-one issues of this urique soldiers newspaper, published in Paris from February s, 1918, to June 13, 1919.
 "The Stars and Stripes" was sue cess from the beginning. It was close to the heart of every newspaper man and woman in America, for their col leagues, many of them personal ac- ouaintances, contributed to its col umns. Its circulation grew rapidly among the members of the American expeditionary forces and "The Stars and Stripes" soon became an authori- tatiye voice from the front to the people "back home," while it was a source of information and entertain ment to thousands of "doughboys" in France, who eagerly awaited it's week ly appearance.
 Some of the brightest newspaper men in America went to France to serve their country. A large num- Der of them lent their aid to "The Stars and Stripes" It published some of the best humor which frightened l.-e horrors of war and carried arti- cles written by soldiers in the trenches which were both interesting and in forming.
 Like the great engineering works built in France by American engi- neers, railroads, warehouses, docks and wharves, and like the victories won by our boys at the front, "The Stars and Stripes" was an achieve ment of which America is proud.

Way of the North Is
 Not That of the South

X WHITE man had a difficulty EA with some negroes in Chicago on Tuesday and was slain. Immedi- ately thereafter mobs of whites gath
 cred and sought the lives of negroes without discrimination.
 Three negroes took refuge in a church. The coolness of the priest in charge barely saved their lives. All night long outbreaks occurred in the stockyards district where several thousand negroes reside.
 The police force of one of the larg- est cities in the country was kept busy protecting the lives and homes of negroes and with difficulty suc- ceeded in restoring normal conditions. It is the same cd story. Wherc white and black individuals collide in the north, mass attack on negroes without regard to their connection with the difficulty ensues. In the south as a rule, whites go no further than the negro believed to have com nitted a crime. Other negroes are as safe as whites. This is because the southern whites have dealt with the negro for generations and un- derstand him.
 The negro race will gradually ap- lreciate what the southern white has been to him. The slave was treated kindly and as soon as he was freed
 he southern white man taxed himself to educate the former slave. The races have resided side by side in amicable relationship except where thoughtless and and criminal indiyid- uals have stepped across the line. In that case the individual has been sought; the races have continued at peace.

It's curious thing if q fellow even mentions the fact that he has just been fishing, every one begins to look quiz zical, as much as to say, Now we'll hear a big one" said J.

Jack Bow ron, $. E. Thompson and 1 left Mobile recently for weeks fishing excursion on a boat which carried not single drop of any kind of beverage that Con- nle Austin could have confiscated. And yet there are people who maintain that no man can tell the truth about fish ing. Some doubling Thomas may claim that we carried it on our insides, but he is dead wrong. It was just a bone dry affair, and can prove it by Pat or John, or Le Roy, or Murphy, or Jack, or s. E., singly or by them as a whole"

Estimating the Total Presidential Vote

TT is reasonable to assume that 32,- U 0o0o0O votes will be cast for President in the election on November 2-about 21,ooo,oO0 men and 11,Oo0,- 900 women.
 The popular vote has increased largely in the last forty years. In 1880, when Garfield was elected, he received 4,284,SS5; Hancock 4,03S, ,95O. and the minor candidates 93,S58.
 The total vote in 1912 was 15.037.- 1SS, and in 1916 it had increased to 1S,521 ,625.
 While there will be large female vote this year, it is not expected that all the women who are eligible by age vii! go to the polls. The negro vote in the south is practically neg 'igible.
 The question of political concern is what percentage of married women

m IRMINGHAM is glad today to be ID host of Gen. w. D. Connor, di- rector general of inland waterways. Nowhere in the country would he be more welcome, because nowhere ill the country is a community's future more closely interwoven with water way development.
 We are fortunate in being able to show General Connor that Alabama has awakened to the importance of taking some steps on her own part to supplement the munificent S15,- 100000 gift which has been presented to us by the government.
 If we have not the terminals which we should have at the Port of Birming- ham, we have very good beginning If we are not doing an immense busi- ness there, we are doing as much as can be done with the present made quate equipment. We can show that much more tonnage is offered than can now be handled, which is the same as saying that big business is assured when facilities allow.

 "On the other hand he transacts busi- ness in the United States court. I have been told that he cleared the docket in the New York court where he pre- sided for several weeks the past sum mer which had not been cleared in fif- teen years.

 Nowadays youth has to have Col lege education to know how to spend the dough his Father managed to make on Common School education.
 A man kind of loses faith in Eugen- cs when he sees a good d-looking couple with three or four homely children.
 The surest way to get turned down Is to sit around and wait for something to turn up.
 The fellow who hollers loudest about the verdicts rendered by jurjes is the same man who has been lodging jury duty for the past ten years.

"A lot of talk was heard yesterday about the high winds and the storms that were raging along the gulf coast states" said Fred H. Anderson, but l wonder how many of us remember that storm that hit Birmingham about twen- ty-five years ago.
 Many people think that because Bir- mingham is located between two noun tains, or rather in a bowl among some mountains, that a storm cannot get to the Magic City. But that storm that hit Birmingham just twenty-five years ago sure did twist things up, and every time that l hear of a storm nowadays think that some of these days that We will get real one here that will do enough damage to make up for all of the time that they have been absent"

Want LAW Enforced

We are still hoping that automobil- ists will comply with the dinner ordi nance" said Henry Dozier, president oi the Birmingham Automobile Club This is such a little thing to do on the highways of the county, and if all drivers would use dinners in passing other cars we believe that number of accidents would be avoided. Many big cars have such strong lights that they blind any driver they meet, and as the roads are public thoroughfares and for the use of all persons this ordinance should be enforced. I have heayd some people complain that putting on the dinner is so much trouble, but what is little trouble if it would avoid an accident which may result in the loss of life or serious injury to others
