EX-SERVICE MAN is
IN NEED OF WORK

A sad story has been reported to
The Age-Herald of an ex-service man
who. It seems. has been unable to
secure work. He was in war service
for sS months. He Is not wounded
or sick, just unable to secure work.
Time after time this ex-service man
has applied for work at large de-
partment store, and as told to an Age
Held reporter today when this young
man came in to inquire il he had
been accepted for the position he had
so earnestly sought. and was told
There is nothing doing" he bit his
lips and the tears came to his eyes,
and with an alert 'right-about face
he said, Il thank you and walked
away.
This was more than the young man
could stand, and he called the ex-
soldier back and to talk with him,
and the story was told. The man has
a wife and five children. They live
in tent on Seventeenth avenue and
Twenty seventh street. He has been
unable to secure work. At night he
and his wife make candy that he ped
dies out on the streets during the day.
That has been sufficient to keep them
in food, but this is the only work he
can find to do.

ITALIAN DELEGATE
DENIES ILL FEELING
TOWARD M. BRAND

Washington, November 25.-Re-
ports cabled from Washington to
foreign newspapers to the effect that
Premier Btiand of France and SEN
ator Schanzer, head of the Italian
delegation to the armament confer
ence had engaged in a harsh de-
bate" at the meeting of the confer
ence committee on naval arm aments
last Wednesday were characterized
by Italian spokesman today as ut
terly without foundation"
1T is worth while to let you know,
said the spokesman. that nothing
of the kind happened. 1t is true that
Senator Schanzer pointed out the
Italian aim in coming to the confer
ence and M. BRAND repeated what he
had said at the pienary session Of
the question of land ornaments for
France. There was nothing harsh
about the debate. both of the speak
ers being animated by the most cor
dial feeling Senator Schanzer
mere reiterated his views as to what
he thought italy should do with re-
spect to land armament.
Italy is not afraid of any nation
in Europe" a delegation spokesman
said. ut has no cause to fear France
and there is no more reason for
such fear than on the part of Amer
lea. Italy wants to be big factor
in Europe in bringing about peace.
In a word, our aim is to be medi-
ators and we think we have already
accomplished something along this
line"

TRADE AT HOME
SUGGEST WOMEN
BY CHRIS IVER

Birmingham products are just as
good as foreign. and, in many in
stances, better.
This is the opinion OF the women
OF Birmingham.
When you buy, buy in Birmingham
If you cannot get what you want in
Birmingham get the local merchants
to order them for you. You will be
surprised at the variety of things
made here II you searca well. BY or
dering through Birmingham mer-
chants you help them and get the
benefit of their expert buying abil-
ity. In this way you viii find that
the goods is of superior grade to
what you could have obtained had
you ordered yourself.
Says Mrs. Frank II. Lathrop: 1T is
the duty of every person in Alabama,
or who makes their living by selling
to her citizens. to buy whatever and
whenever possible from her products.
In dealing with local firms there
is the factor of personal contact that
is missing in foreign buying.
mot long ago | wanted to purchase
a fur coat, but could not find the
kind l wanted in Birmingham. l
went to one of our largest stores and
ordered through them, and l got a
better quality than | would have
gotten had I ordered myself. This
was because of their buying ability"
Mrs. f. r. McDavid also believes in
Birmingham. Says she: THE fashion
show given during the semi-centen-
NAL clearly demonstrated that Bir-
mIngham has as much to offer in
wearing apparel and in fashion crea-
tions as any other large city.
AT the semi l also saw
work done in copper. l had not
known that such work was being
done in Birmingham.
Il think 1t would be fine plan
for the merchants of the city to pub
lish a list OF the things that are
manufactured in our city and in Ala
bama. In this way we would know
Just what we could buy that is home
manufactured.
When l was in New York. not
long age. l enjoyed the shows and
entertainments, but / did not buy any
furs or clothes. as l would rather
buy them at home.
1T would be beneficial and of
value to everybody If a Know Biz
mingham' campaign would be start
ed. tremendous pride of our home
town would result"
