In Uniform,

T think 1t would be a splendid idea if business women's clothes vera standardized" says Mrs. c. T. May field president of the PatcHem and Wear'em Club, which was fornied early last spring to fight the high cost of living
 Tn my opinion the majority of girls in the business world dress too fancy and would look much better if they wore more tailored clothes. It is prob able that some action will be taken by the delegates and visitors to the na- tional convention of business and pro- fessional women to be held next week in St. Paul looking to the adoption of some standardized clothes for girls in the business world

School Census Showing
 Considerable Increase

TIT HE biennial school census of the 0 state now being enumerated will show large increase of persons of school age In the first place the minimum limit|is now years, instead of 7, as formerly. In 1918 Birmingham's school cen sus showed 51,116. In 1916 it was 48,250. If the same rate of increase were maintained it would be about 54 ,00O; but with years as school age the total counted this month will probably reach 1000 or 58, 1000. Using 3.25 as rnultiplyer, Bir- mingham's total population should be around 1855 ,00O, dating from the first of July, the time when the school census enumeration began Allowing for the growth of the city during the first half of the year, the revised population should be well above the 180, GOO mark

Good Investment

Many Birmingham people are now buying homes on the easy payment plan," says Judson DeRamus of the Simpson -DeRamus Realty Company. Due to the high rents existing in the city. family of moderate means can pay for home in installments almost as easily as it can pay rent.
 'In my opinion. Birmingham is the best city in the south in which to own real estate Its percentage of growth is very large, indicating increased de- mands for homes and business houses. The city is founded on coal and iron, which are two commodities for which there will be steady need for years to come. Birmingham citizens having spare money cannot make mistake by investing it in real estate here"

Lynching Record Should
 Be a Complete One

F OR the protection of three ne- J groes charged with assault on white woman, the militia on guard at the county jail of Durham, N. C., fired into mob, killing one and woundlng two other persons.
 Not very long ago the militia at Knoxville, Tenn, killed half dozen members of mob that sought the life of negro who had ravished and murdered several women, his latest victim having been young girl.
 At other points in the south SOL dlers and jail guards have protected the lives of negro criminals by slay- ing whites. In a quiet hamlet in northern Alabama not many years ago white men, bent on mobbinp a negro ravisher, were killed by the arm of the law that this black man. whose crime was of the most fiendish nature, might secure justice in the courts, according to the law of the land.
 Very recently in Birmingham a white man was slain by a negro be- cause he had discharged the negro; another by negro whose excuse was that he was frightened by a crowd. In nearby county another negro killed white foreman because he had been reprimanded.
 It is high time that statistics with reference to lynching be coupled with the record of white people whom ne- groes have killed in purely animal temper, the number of white women and girls whom they have assaulted, ravished and murdered and the num- Der of whites who have been slain in the protection of accused, negroes.
 Lynching statistics are but a part of the record. The negro race will not benefit from their publication until the whole record is given. Then only will it be possible to strike a balance psychologically correct on which the race may base sane men, tai attitude and the sane conduct which it would suggest

For Business With Our
 Latin American Neighbors

For Business With Our
 Latin American Neighbors MoBILE is to be congratulated 1V0 on having finally organized an export association, whose object is to promote an interchange of busi- ness with the Latin Americas through that port.
 The Southern Trading Corporation is it's name and the stockholders of this $100,000 concern are Mobilians. This makes it strictly home enter prise and of special interest to Ala bamians.
 The association intends to establish agencies in the Latin Americas and in North American cities. The spe- cial drive will be to aid southern man. ufacturers to trade with South and Central America and the southern islands. The business is there. The important thing has been to go out after it in the regular way of doing business.
 The worlds trading is not done by Correspondence. Only a small DOT tion depends on circulars, letters and written and printed propaganda. The bulk is gotten through the personal touch. This is what the Southern Trading Corporation will make an ef- fort to establish.
 Some of Birmingham's manufac- trrers have taken the trouble and gone to the expense of Investigating the Latin American field. They have returned with the conviction of Latin Americas desire to trade with us di-

DECISION RESERVED
ON EMBEZZLEMENT
CASE BY MAYFIELD

Justice of the Peace Mayfield re-
served decision on the case of the peo-
pie versus George H. Roberts, alleged
to have embezzled a car from j. w.
Cherdas, valued at 5000 on Feb. 6,
of this year.
A legal battle was waged between
the attorneys for the defendant and
the deputy district attorney, Don But
Ter. H. Ellison, representing Roberts,
in his argument returned to the days
of old England when man was thrown
in prison for debt, and when debt
was sufficient evidence for man to
be lodged in Jail. While not admitting
the defendant was indebted to Chor-
das, in his plea.to the court, he stated
that the evidence submitted by the
complaining witness was not sufficient
to warrant conviction. In his opin-
ion it was matter of civil proceed
ing rather than criminal.
Deputy District Attorney Don Bitter
took the opposite stand, arguing that
the car was taken by the defendant
and not returned, nor a sum equivalent
to the price of the car. and he should,
therefore, be held to answer to the
charge.
The decision had not been rendered
late this afternoon.
