HOG CHOLERA DANGER
WARNING is ISSUED

Auburn, November 22.-tSpecial)--
At this season of year when hogs
are allowed wide rapse in the pas
lures, fields and otherwise. there Is
great danger of cholera outbreaks.
according to warning be-
ing sent out by DR.. H, C. Wilson.
veterinarian. in connection with the
Alabama extension service.
In this connection DR.. Wilson calls
attention to the fact that while chol-
era Is under very good control. by
means of the serum treatment, II is
still with us, and that there are
enough buzzards. dogs, and careless
individuals to keep it scattered I'M
less the farmers are very careful
with their hogs.
Due to the fact that many hogs are
now engaged in harvesting peanuts,
and otherwise not under the close
supervision of their owners, DR.. Will
son recommends that as matter of
safety they be vaccinated by COM
petent man. preferably q veterina-
riaL.

who will help?" she queried.
And the hands of practically every
woman present went up. This
: means that they will go back to their
clubs and ask each club to send a
delegate to join in the pilgrimage TO
the commission.
THE garbage collections are not
well done" she emphasized. THE
A collectors many times do the work
bhurriedly or carelessly, often leaving
. trail Of refuse behind them over
the lot from the back door to the
street side where the wagons are
parked. Every club should have a
delegate to appear before the COM
missioners to make an appeal that
the bi-weekly collections be made.
Women Know
Naturally we know that women
are the ones most capable of speak
ing authoritatively on the garbage
handling, because we are the home
makers, and I feel sure that the COM
mission is as interested in making
health conditions right as we are"
Mrs. Charlton's talk was only one
Of the numerous reports which the
clubwomen found interesting, and
upon which they probably will take
action, or work out some plan for
betterment of stated conditions.
For instance, Mrs. G. z. Orr, who
reported on child welfare, spoke of
Juvenile court children and how they
should not be forgotten by club
women.
These are not bad children" she
said, in most cases. But they are
neglected children, and they are
capable of development. AS proof of
this, records show that there is only
one incorrigible in the whole number
Of children there, and that the home
has inmates from infants under .
years old to youths of IS. The actual
number of infants Is Is. There are
10 children from to years old; 40
\ between the ages of Z and Is, and
there are rs between the ages of IA
and Is years old.
"A special matter 1 would call to
your attention is that one mother
brought her children to the juvenile
court in order, she said, to get them
out of the influence of bad neigh
bcrhood.
Should Be Corrected
IT her report is correct-and no
one doubts that there are bad neigh
Observation-Disclosures should make
an investigation tending toward the
correction of such Objectionable Sec
tions.
Il believe that in civic affairs we
should be thrifty and cut down I'M
necessary expenses. But 1 do not be-
lieve we should cut down expehdi-
lures for our children. They are the
country's hope. Save the dollar, but
do net save 1t as agains the develop
ment of childhood"
Judge Murphy, she declared, said
that the court was doing all 1t could
with the present limited means at
It's disposal
Mrs. Orr particularly was pleased
that now, since women have suffrage,
they can actually put things across,
and are becoming great and under
standing students of citizenship af-
fairs-and are getting to be most
helpful in practically all lines.
The clubwomen were so eager to
hear how the county library work is
progressing that they asked L. W.
Josselyn,< director of the Birmingham
public library, to speak to them on
)thi. subject Mr.. Josselyn related:
Needs the Funds
Just as soon as we get funds we
shall send out trucks from Birming-
Ram carrying books all over the
county and leaving them where the
general public may have the benefit.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1921-11-23

, of good literature. We will have
$4,000 to thus spend for our county
people. This money was voted by
the board of revenue for such library
extension work. and it is one of the
finest things that has been done for
general culture of our people"
He urged support of the delegates
for a bond issue sufficient to erect
an adequate central library.
A very clear and forceful address
was made by DR.. Edith Rhabe, rep
resentins the United States public
health service. She is an expert on
health and venereal diseases and
asked the cooperation of the women
in stamping out such vice.
IF there are any problems that l
can help solve at any time In which
you women are interested by office is
open to give whatever service might
be helpful" she declared,
DR.. Rhabe Is an inveterate worker,
and there is no doubt that her leo
lures and service throughout the city
have done great good.
She declared that there were Is
free clinics and more than 10 clinics
where nominal sum could be paid
by victims of vice diseases for neces-
sary treatment in the state of Ala
bama. This was helping to diminish
the evil.
Mrs. W. J. Adams. state chairman
of music, told of the work of the
community sings, and great enthu-
siasm greeted her statement that the
emi-centennial chorus had been or
ganized into the Birmingham Choral
society," permanent asset to the
city.
VIII Present Orntorfo
She said this society would present
THE Messiah" at Christmas.
Il want us to organize, as a state.
to have music league. Michigan
was the first state in the Union to
have one, and Alabama can get great
benefit thereby"
She urged that Christmas carols
be sung in every city of Alabama and
advocated that steps be taken to
have state and county supervisors of
music in all Alabama schools.
The establishment of q fund out
of which to meet the current ex-
penses of the District Federation of
Women was urged by Mrs. L. j.
Haley.
The state president, Mrs. Brevard
Jones. praised the work along edu-
cational lines by the Birmingham
district clubs. She said she did not
know why the women of the Third
ulStrlct should not receive the
Thomas Owen loving cup.

ported in person or had their reports

that evening costume shall be as lux
uriant, bizarre, and colorful as pos
sible. The early autumn vogue for
midnight velvets has been utterly
f1outed by the midseason vogue for
Eazzling color in brocades, satins
velvets and laces.
Most of the gowns depend upon
material for effect, and trimmings
are woven right into the fabric. The
clinging, princess type of gown is
most n favor with both fapper and
matron. Recent operas haze
brought forth an audience wearing
new peacock blue. Every box in
the charmed circle contained at least
one gown in this shade. Many of
them were of heavynapped velvets,
but gold and striped brocades
were in the lead.
Debutants shun the pretty pink,
blue yellow and green tulle creations
of yester Opera Year and choose
white velvets, crystal cloths, or
crcystal embroidered nets. Ameri-
can beauty velvet cut a la princess
with slippers to match and silver
hose is a favored combination Of
this season. This is the color that
the debutante and young mss chooses
most frequently for her evening
