WIDOWS PENSIONS
 URGED AS SLOGAN
 OF WOMEN VOTERS
Leader of Louisiana Women's League Spends Yesterday In Birmingham Telling of
 Work In Her State

Why don't the women of Bir- mingham get busy and see that widows with children are pensioned? ? They. ought, to be-"
 Tall and graceful, Mrs. Philip Werlein, state chairman, of the League of Women Voters of Louisi- ana, had this message for Magic City women yesterday.
 Just from New orlesqs and here for the day, she declared Louisians's women voters had just put this 'neas- .ure. through the legislature in that state. and enthusiastic results were being obtained.
 We have an office where these poor widows can come and we :nves- tigate their. cases They get money from the state, according to the num-' Der of children they have.
 Crush Socialism
 Helping them like this, we are bound to crush the wrong kind of sOCldilSHi. tor CniluTeH ledfcu anu fostered by the state are not apt to grow up traitors. And. of course, everyone knows what misera ply hard time to rear their children most widows have. It is proverbial how they have had in so many cases to slave over washtubs and sewing ma chimes, and to send out their chil dren to help earn the living when they should be in school"
 Mrs. Werlein says the League cf Women Voters in New orleans sees to 1t that the money given Is spent -judiciously, and that the children are put and kept in school, and taken off the streets.
 She was delighted with another thing the women have just been able ito do in her home state. We have busted the long known New Orleans ring and put in the reform ticket. after the ring had held sway for IS years.
 Tt took just 1000 votes totdo the job-and we gave that 1000. Of course, the men on our side helped wonderfully But we just know that our perseverance, was the thing that won.
 Others Cnn Do It
 ''We haven't done anything that other women can't do, she averrcd. And we know if the women will fight for right. constructive things and never give up. they will get them. Good men won't let them fail"
 A third thing Mrs. Werlein felt Louisiana suffragists were entitled to credit for the resurrecting of a compensation bill to benefit the dis abled city employees A number of firemen's wives and others had re ceived long delayed aid
 While she was In the city. Mrs. Werlein visited suffrage headquar- ters and conferred with Mrs, Solon Jacobs: paid little visit to Mrs. E.. W. Barrett and Mrs. George Gordon Crawford. Later, She isscoHing back to visit Mrs. Crawford in Birming- ham, she said.

Auto Club President Tells
 Of Hou to AuoidA Accidents

Here are some rules for avoiding automobile accidents, as given out by Charles C. Davis, president ot the Birmingham Automobile club.
 1. Follow your city blue book. It was planned for your safety and that of the other fellow.
 2. Keep your eye on where you are going. and what you are try ing to do.
 3. Think whether you're doing what you know. it's right for tue other driver to do.
 4, Keep to the right. It's strictly against all rules to pass on tn, left.
 5. Don't strike out down the road as if you never expected to have crossing, or that thero might never be a curve in the road where you could be killed, or kill somebody.
 $. Lots of people are careless drivers. It's up to you not to ne one of them. and try to be gong at such speed that you can save yourself from such reckless riders.
 [. Old drivers rarely have as many accidents as others. Watch their methods of keeping out of smash ups.
 s. Don't get in such a hurry that you can't be careful
 g. Don't decide you're such a good driver you can get by with almost anything
 10. Better not try the "joy-ri stuff. It often winds up at the hospital.

 Men in this section have been dip- ping their cattle for six. years, he stated, and according to inspectors this is the most law-abiding com munity in dipping in the county.
 Mir. Meyers stated they were risht on the line and until the bordering counties were freed they could get no relief, and while they believe in dipping they also think the men m charge should have proper vats and facilities and observe some reguia- : tions.
 At this point Mir Ball told the del- egation they hadn't been fussny about the law anymore than the board had and that the board If revenue has no Jurisdiction over the enforcement of the law. All the board car do is to make the appro- priation, he said. and the old board of revenue nearly went to jail for failing to make the appropriation.

Automobile accidents have grown to be rather frequent in Birmingham the last few weeks, Mir Davis says. In fact, there seems to be a sort of epidemic on, and large number of them are the fault of the drivers.
 Have you ever thought how .o avoid accidents? Have you planned out what you would do in a case where you might have to think quickly"' he asked.
 The Birmingham Automobile club, through Mir. Davis, gives the aboN q set of rules that will help stop ac- cidents--and decrease the danger that a lot of pedestrians and automobile riders constantly face.
 He declared:
 "A lot of persons drive along tho road and don't look where they're going. They carry on a converse tion with people in the car just as if they were in their own drawing rooms and didn't have to be alert about human life and limb. If most drivers would Keep their eyes on what they're dos

ing, 1t would be better for the public safety.
 Again, if goodly number would avoid corn whisky, the town would be safer from automobile accidents.
 Also, a man or woman should DC sure their cars are in such repair that accidents will not be courted. They should have them frequently looked over. For instance. saw a bad smash-up not long ago down on the Bessemer road at Grasselli. The car was turned upside down--and one boy had been badly hurt. It do- veloped that bolt had lost its cap, the steering gear became wild. tha driver lost control, and so the smash up.
 It's easy enough to make cars run too fast. and to trust to fate that nobody is in the way.
 People get too anxious to get where they're going, and cause lot of damage sometimes. Then again we have with us the driver who can run 'em with one hand without look ing There is but one way to avoid accidents--and even that won't do 1t every time--and that is Be as care- full as you possibly can"

 His Last Vote
 Mir. Ball said the board wanted to get rid of this business as much as anybody but under the law were helpless to aid the cattle men and declared he had voted his last time for, an appropriation, if the whole board went to tail.
 He then read section IF of the
 1919 code which. provides that If

 with the requirements of sections

 The delegation was also informed to make the appropriation on the grounds of no funds are available tnr that purpose, is now pending before the supreme court Madamus pro eeedings were instituted against the court of county mmissioners oi Shelby county, which declined to make the appropriation on that ground.

Report Work OF
Nurse Committee

The following report Of the visiting
Nurse Committee Of She st, Johns
bury Woman'a Club has been made:
The appropriation made by the
town last March has enabled the
Club to carry on the full-time nursing
service begun last year. This report
covers the period from March l. 1920,
to February /. 1921, during which
time 1910 visits have been made on
206 patients in 1G5 families.
The salary account for that period
amounted to- $l4O5.10. TO apply on
this we have received from the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany $425.75, for nursing care Of
their policyholdcrs, and from other
paying patients, $l89.75, a total of
$615.5O, leavin ga balance of $789.60,
which has been received from the
town.
Besides general bedside care,
instructive and preventive nursing
has been done in prenatal cases,
infant feeding and tuberculosis.
Some Of the chronic cases which were
on the list last year have had TO be
regularly cared for.
The benefits of the nursing service
cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents, but we know of instances in
which the timely care Of the nurse
prevented a long illness and the med
ical and hospital expenses incident
to such an illness.
We feel that this has been a very
cucca@cf ul wear and that the success
