LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

 In order to overcome the scarcity or want of down-river freight which seems now to be the only stumbling block in the way of a complete success of this colqs- sal undertaking, l have a suggestion Ito make:
 That the manufacturers and merchants of Birmingham organize into a selling as- sociation establish an office here Zone in sociation, establish an office here, one in Memphis, and from these points send out travelling men to represent the different lii es of goods manufactured here, and Tn which no part of the world can complete with Birmingham, and place orders all through the rich delta of Louisiana, and in Mississippi and Arkansas coming back. nearer home, taking in the gulf coast towns and all along the Warrior river from Birmngport south and sending out boats loaded with the manufactured pro- duets of Birmingham for distribution, and these boats specially chartered for that purpose
 It will only take a few minutes for any wideawake manufacturer to calculate how much he makes that is used every 12 months in the magnificent trade em-. braced in the route above mentioned, and he can quickly see how much it would be to his interest to join association. that would promote this trade, for not only the city of Birmingham, but to each individual person who might belong to this advertising and joint selling associa- ton.
 Let us ask the manufacturers and mef- chants to consider this matter and to con- sider it seriously, as Birmingham must ct baf ruhfl eh iS the "staid, old southern towns she has every virtue and feature of the great western push and energy that means suc- cess wherever it is employed Yours very. truly, VIM.

ORDERS EXCEEDING
 LUMBER SUPPLIES
Mills Curtailed Output Caught By Demand of Awaken
 ing Trade

The Southern Pine association of New Orleans is authority for the statement that "a large increase in the demand for lumber has developed" It reports the largest weeks production in nine months. In circular letter to the trade the as- gociation says:
 During the week ending January IA, l36 mills reported orders received totaling 316S cars, or 6S,000,OO0 feet This is the largest amount of business received in any week during the past nine months, the previous higher mark being in April, 1920.
 Production of southern pine is still reaching new low levels. Last weeks out put was the lowest of any similar week during the past six years, and was 4S per cent below normal. Orders received during the week were 40 per cent more than the actual production. Of 7S mills reporting operating time. 9 operated full time, 20 were closed down entirely, and the others operated on various degrees of reduced time.
 Stocks of lumber at southern pine mills were practically stationary during December. They are now slightly above normal. but far below the stocks carried by these same mills in 1915 and 1916.

learn that progress means change and adaptability. It is a sign of approach ing old age for one to be unwilling to see things done differently from the old way.
 THEIR ONLY TIME
 Tt has been said by some that the stores should be kept open for the other workers who have no other time to do their shopping. However, it has been the other workers who have been most in favor of the change and for those workers who have not taken any stand when it is brought to their at- tention they are most willing to be inconvenience if it is necessary for the girls in the stores.
 Whether the stores are closed or not something should be done from a humanitarian standpoint, in the plac- ing of shifts or extra workers Some or the girls could be allowed to come down as late as noon when they were to work late. Then there are always those who are glad to get in extra work for extra pay, and still others who would be glad just to work at the store each Saturday night. Un- douptediy the stores do not have to keep all the girls, but do it only from a motive of fairness to all. I believe something could be done in some way even if 1t was not closing the stores"

 Healthy recreation is just as i'm portant to the welfare of the state as hard work. It should be fostered and encouraged and the young people should be urged to take it up.
 If the merchants must have a longer day than eight hours then they should employ enough persons to pro- vide for a double shift, in my opin ion."

DECISION RESERVED
Western Union Holds That Court Is
 Without Jurisdiction
By Associated pre.s

in the form of a preliminary injunc- ton, rather than forceful measures by the armed forces of the United States was the plea here today in the federal court by the government in it's action to prevent the splicing of a cable on the Telegraph company's Brazilian cable at Miami, Fla
 The gist of the arguments advanced by counsel for the Western Union was that the court had no Jurisdiction to prevent the splicing of cable on the high seas. Counsel also stated that President Wilson was without power to prescribe that messages sent via Key West to Cuba could not be transmitted to other points beyond the latter coun- try.

Water Traffic Advantages

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 For the past several weeks l have been carefully noting your many articles on the subject of how Birmingham should support it's great river projects, and I might say it's glorious effort to es- tablish the, transportation line on the Warrior river, and put same not only on paying basis. but an absolutely re- munerative basis
 This effort on the part of some of our business men to put this great city in connection with the entire world by water route, means more to the city of Birmingham than any mind within it's confines has the capacity to grasp, in my opinion, as no one can calculate how far reaching will be the benefits from the es- tahlishment fo such a method of transpor- tation for a city the size of Birmin gham.
 Its benefits will go out through so many different ramfications and effect so many

More Truth Than Poetry
THE WOMAN CHILD
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE WOMAN CHILD Look al the way she hangs onto the cover; Look at the cute little fuzz on her lid; Look at that smile; it just makes people Gosh! but she sure is one wonderful kid. Talk? Stick around when she yells for dinner
 Gets every single darn word she is told. Rotten, guess, when she's just a be- ginner;
 This is her birthday; she's seven months old. Fond of her mother? Well, sos every baby,
 But look at her balancing there on my knee. Look at the smile that she hands me. and maybe You will decide she is fonder of me. With colic or something all babies am the guy that can make her keep quiet
 By taking her up for an hour or. two Who does she look like-say, some how other
 Before she arrived I was strong on the hope That she would grow up as the split of her mother. An yet I ain't sorry I had the wrong dope. s She's some little peach is this lady well rather She's got 'em all licked in the beauty show game; That's more than person can say of her father An yet she's the image of me--just the same got to step out and go after the dol lars: k That kid can't be dressed like a small village hicb; She II need pretty clothes, an swell shoes an fur collars. An all that girl ought to have pretty quick. It's goin' to take money. tell you to dress her. But when she's doled up she will sure be a joy; "A boy is less troublen you ARE bum guesser.
 Say, what made you think that wanted a boy?

BOARDS ID AWAIT .O. |. BUNN'S RETURN
Senior and Junior Chambers of Commerce Postpone Joint
 Meeting

Joint meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the senior body, scheduled for January 27, has been postponed until the evening of Febru ary 4.
 The change was made on account of the enforced absence of the general manager, O. L. Bum. who is attending to important freight rate matters af- fecting Birmingham in Nashville and Atlanta
 The meeting of the junior and senior chambers is to be of d get-together nature. The two bodies are officially connected through three members of each being on the executive committee of the other, but she organizations as such have not yet gotten in personal touch with one another. The coming meeting is for that purpose.
 The junior chamber has grown with remarkable speed and has already att tained membership of about three hundred with accessons daily.
 President Joseph P. Mudd of the junior body and President NJ. P. North ington of the senior body are arrang- ing features of the meeting.
 A feature of the joint meeting will be an address by Prof. Lee Bidgood, dean of the school of commerce and business administration at the Univer- sity of Alabama. It is understood that he will speak on "Our Interests in the Caribbean and Alabama's Opportunity" This address, it is believed, will be of particular interest at a time when Ala bama is making special effort to ex- tend ts foreign trade
