NJ oman's Strength Wasted On Farm
Neea Better Equipment and Tacatious

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The waste Of
woman power is one of the greatest
menaees to the rural life of the nation.
according to deductions that special.
lists OF the United States department
OF agriculture draw from a farmhouse
survey conducted in the SO northern
and western states. The survey was
made under the direction of Miss
Florence E. Ward, in charge of ex-
tension work. north and west states
relations service.
The records cover l0O15 farm
homes, averaged by taking tvpical
communities OF the counties in which
the survey was made. Much of the
information was gathered personally
by home demonstration agents. who
are the field representatives of the
United States department of agricul.
ture and the state agricultural college.
Need Modern Equipment
Miss Ward points out. from the
facts shown by the survey that a rea-
sonable amount of planning and we'll
directed investment in modern eauip-
ment for farm homes would prevent a
large part of this wastage of the en-
ergy of the nations rural homemakers
This IS a serious matter" she con-
tinues, because We have a live ma
tional problem now in working out
the economies of country living in
such way as to make them satisfied
to stay on the land and help build
it up.
The survey discloses a number of
the reasons why many women do not
find farm life attractive. The work
day of the average farm woman, as
shown by the survey, is lib hours the
year around. In summer it is 1912
hours. And 81 out of each 100 women
have no regular vacation during the
year. On the average, the farm wom-
an can find only 1.6 hours of leisure
during the summer and only "a hours
in winter. Half of the farm women
are up and at work at 5 o'clock in
the morning
The Old oaken Bucket
Forty per cent have water in the
kitchen, but the other per cent must
go to the spring or the pump to bring
the water for cooking breakfast.
Thirty-six per cent help with the
milking.
On the average, the farm woman
has seven-room house to keep in
order
Seventy-nine per cent have kero-
sene lamps to trim and fill.
Do Their Own Washing
Ninety-six per cent do the family
washing. about half of them having
washing machines and the other half
doing the work with tub, dashboard
and boiler.
Ninety-two per cent do some or all
Of the family sewing.
Garden work is done by Sc per cent,
"a per cent make all or part OF the
family bread and 60 per cent have
churning to do.
Eighty-one per cent of all poultry
focks are cared for by women. one
fourth of the farm women help TO feed
and bed the live stock. and "a per
cent of them spend over six weeks in
the year assisting with some part OF
the field work All of this is in adj
dition TO cooking the family meals and
caring for the children.

Points Straight Up

A valve that was not closed caused
the sinking of the sub. The thrush OF
water was so great that the sailor
who tried to close it after it was dis
covered was washed off his feet and
could not get to it. The valve was in
the bow and the long cigar shaped
hull settled to the bottom stem first
Fortunately the water was not so deep
but that the stern stuck out above the
surface so that when the men finally
succeeded in drilling through the
thick shell their signal of distress, a
shirt on bar, was seen by the S. S
Atlantus.
During those forty-one hours the
men suffered from the chlorine gas
from the batteries and as the time
went on they were weakened by loss
of oxygen from the air. No one was
allowed to talk above whisper or do
anything else that might cause him
to take deep breath except

Facing Death Wonderful

Some of the men wore gas masks to
remove the poisons from the air they
breathed, not all, for some of the
masks had been damaged by the in
rushing water so that there were not
enough to go around. But there were
no complaints, each man taking his
chances with the rest. The men were
finally rescued through an enlarge
ment of the hole they had started and
were taken to the Philadelphia navy
yard. A few hours before kindly
fate aided by the never failing luck
of the navy had rescued them from
an apparently inevitable death, but
they were as clipper as a bunch of
returning tourists and sang and joked
with those about them. When asked
how it felt to face death for more than
forty hours Joseph Star Youker, an
apprentice seaman from Camden, n.
J., voiced the sentiment of his fellows
in the statement:

penses, nor did it state-what every

BOLD HOLD-UP BY MASKED WHITE MEN Robbers Secure $35O From Hawkins Bros. at the
 Point of Pistol

One of the most daring holdups that have occurred in Birmingham in some time took place last night about 10 o'clock, when two masked highwaymen held up the Hawkins Bros Market and Grocery Company at 10O6 South Eff teenth street. and robbed the cash drawer of about $50 in cash and checks, the entire proceeds of the day.
 According to Sergeant Brent and of- ficers Virgil and Woody Sandifer, Bur kett and Wyatt. who investigated the hoidup, two unknown and masked white men drove to the front of the store in large touring car and after entering the store, leveled two large pistols at the two brothers, J. J. and D. L. Flaw kins, and the negro porter, and com manded them to hands up" The mer refused to comply with the demand al first whereupon one of the highwaymen fired a shot at J. J. Hawkins. Fortu- nately, the bullet did not strike flaw kins. However. the brothers raised their hands, and while one of the robbers held the men in chec kthe other walked be- hind the counter and proceeded to ran sack the cash drawer Immediately aft erward the robbers jumped into the waiting auto omobie and fled.
 The police are hot on the trail of the fugitives and every effort will be made to bring the bold criminals to justice.

LUTHER MURPHY IS WINNER OF MEDAL
 HANDICAP SHOOT
Youngest Member of Re volver Club Wins Tourney
 With a Score of 172

The gold medal handicap shoot of z
 the Birmingham Revolver Club was
 held this week and was wen by
 Luther T. Murphy. the youngest
 shooter of the club. The handicaps
 were based on the tweDty-six
 matches of the U S R. A. League that the club has shot and most of
 the hsoOters for the medal shot
 right up to their averages except
 Murphy. who shot . good deal
 above his, and by doing won
 the event.
 O. L. Carl shot unusually well in this event. and in ordinary circumstances would have won. He shot one 4S and one 49 but had one low score of 4l- However, his total in this match was 140. which was eleven points above his average J. o. Moore. Dr. Percy Reid, Dr. o. F. Troje and Person Moore shot almost their averages for the twenty six matches.
 T. K. Lee entered this match, bu1 on his thinrd shot thS sight came loose on his pistol and he threw two fours at 12 o'clock. Having no way to fix his sight. which came off entirely on his fourth shot, he was compelled to with draw, There is no doubt however, that he would have shot right close to his average for the twenty-six matches, which was 43.
 The winner. L. T Murphy, has only been shooting at the club for the past thirty days and has shown in that time wonderful improvement His average for the twenty-six matches wos only S5 but in this match he shot TOT. With his handicap of 65 added his score was 172, or 22 points above possible. The older members are rather glad that one of the younger shooters won this med al, as it encourages them more to do so than to have it go to one of the better shots. As O. L. Carl expressed 1t after the match: fLet some of the. young ster swin them as we old shots have enough already"

Locals Lose Hard Game to Crimsons By a Four
 Point Margin

The University of Alabama bas-
 eaiOosa today feeling somewhat
 modified over their defeat at the
 hands of the Birmingham Athletic
 Club Friday night. The Howard
 Bulldogs fell before the CrinsOns'
 rush at the R. A. c. last night, 2s

 defeat and one victory being
 chaIked aEaiast them.
 The game last night was one of the closest seen here in soma time The score seesaw W ed back and forth, first one and then the other team in the lead. The first half went to Alabama by a four point margin. but in the second half the locals scored one more point than their opponents
 The Bulldogs put up a fierce and scrappy battle and several times threatened to run away from the Uni yersity team. The ball was in Ala bama's territory most of the time. bu; the Crimsons were not very steady with their shooting. else the SCOT, would have been much larger How. ard, on the other hand, made almost every shot count and, although they did not have the ball as much as Ala. bama. scored almost as many points.
 Aston of Alabama was the chiel scorer of the evening, with O. E. New man. Howard, a close second with ter points. Both Aston and Newman played a fast and hard game.
 Garcia, Crimsons' center, was very accurate on his shots and made three pretty field goals. Stevenson and Hud son played steadily at the guards while Montgomery was good at pass ing the ball
 Afford played a hard game at guard and saved Howard many a point by his close guarding and tight defense. Pes Head" Walker proved an elusive player to the Crimson guards and scored three field goals. W. D. Newman made two pretty shots for goals.
 The line-ups and number of points scored by each player follow;
 Alabama (26)--Alston (12) and Mont gomery, forwards; Garcia (6), center Hudson (D and Stevenson @, buards
 Howard (23)--W. D. Newman (+) anc Walker (7). forwards; o. B. Newman (1o), center; Acton and Afford, guards Substitution, Ingram (2) for Acton.
