LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
European Relief
} Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 In behalf of the members of the Ala hama executive committee, I wish to express to you the gratitude that all of us feel for the splendid cooperation you have rendered in the "collection" for the suffering children of Europe.
 Because the newspapers of this state responded whole ole-heartedly in the sup port of this great humanitarian ap- peal thus paving the way for teams of workers throughout the state. Ala bama was enabled, through contribu- tions of more than s15S,O00 in cash, to lead the entire south in per capita con tributions. and nationally to occupy sixth position. 1t also was one of the 10 states in the union that gave more than it's share of the s33,000,0O0 that was sought.
 Mr Hoover informs me that they have received all they asked for, and that they will be able to complete the entire programme of caring for 3.500,- coo of children until next summer; in fact, owing to the fall of the price of commodities, they can probably carry a considerable proportion of this relief for longer period.
 While l am indebted to you for val uable assistance rendered through the dissemination of news in Birmingham and Alabama generally concerning the siroation in Europe, the real reward that all of Us will have is the satisfac- tion that we jointly contributed so ma terially to the preservation of this great mass of children.

Daring Daylight Robbery Staged Al
 DOlUntOWn Store

negro customer whom the pro prietor was serving had departed from the store. Then one of the men quickly drew R pistol and held it upon Monsel, telling him that he would kill him if he made n move.
 The other man jumped behind the counter and opened the cash regis ter and quickly began stuffing his pockets with greenbacks. Several dollars in small change was scat tered over the floor, so great was the robbers haste.
 It is believed by the police that the two men had m automobile waiting around the corner for them, for their getaway was quick and was not noticed by anyone upon the street.
 The proprietor was so badly frightened that it was m hour or so before he reported 1t to city de- tective headquarters. Two men have been assigned to the case, but mt late hour last night no clues as to the identity of the rob- bers had been discovered.

Objects to Harvey

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I regret that The Age-Herald has seen fit to indorse the appointment of George Harvey to the court of St. James, one who not only traduced a great President, but dragged Mrs. Will sons name into the mire of politics Senator Harrison's arraignment was severe but richly deserved. All the world hates a deserter. By inserting this in the columns of The Age-Herald you will greatly oblige a 35-year sub scriber. I. H. STILLMAN.

 SMALL ORDERS
 Dealers in building materials experience the same demand for prompt delivery of small quantities as marks other lines of business, including coke, iron and steel products. A prominent sales manager of a building material firm said: Where in what we term normal times we would fill one page of our order book with bus- ness amounting, say, to $l 900, we now cover three pages with orders that will aggregate only $500. We average three times the number of sales with one-half the normal amount of money involved. This shows the hand-to-mouth business that is going on. Lots of the building m Birmingham is what might be termed small stuff. We make three times the deliveries for one-half the money taken in that we do in normal times.
 But start is a start Birmingham has made a mighty good start in build ing way and we look for bigger doings very shortly. The building trades mar kets are hardening up in response to the better demand and prices are firmer.
