Ideal Combina ton

"If woman can have her profession and her home, too, the big barrier to her progress in the worlds work is re- moved" said Dr. Lola Taylor, president of the Business and Professional Wom- ems club.
 During and since the World war many women have demonstrated their ability to combine the two. The one thing a young woman contemplating a professional life has to be afraid of to- day Is the crisis in her life when she may be asked to choose between her solve this problem there is no limit to her future in the profession.
 T began practicing here in 1905. and conditions for the professional woman now are nothing like they were then. professional woman then could not be considered quite normal and even ones friends could not get their con- sent to submit to her services. There is no longer the general feeling of dis trust and antagonism that predomt- mated then and a professional woman today can get a better deal among her contemporaries than formerly. In fact. if a woman knows how to go after anything. If she remembers that to be womaniy and to do things. not in imi- tation of man, but in a woman's way. and to do them efficiently. she will get what she wants"

v Russia Is Great Sore Spot of the World

N BIRMINGHAM man travelling ir AA Great Britain and in touct with British political and financial ex- perts asked them what the matter was with England. The reply was something like this:
 Russia is the matter. Russia is the greatest consumer of tea in the world. Russia has. no money with which to buy tea. India has no mar ket for the vast tea production which was formerly disposed of in Russia. India, therefore, cannot make her &C., customed revenue returns to Eng land and make purchases based on that revenue. It is Russia, you see."
 Herbert Hoover says there is little chance of a worth while business with Russia on account of political condi- tions which are inimical to produc- tion. Having nothing to sell that country is in no position to buy. Mill lions of human beings, normally con- tributing to the trade of the world the production of an empire, are not trading and their absence leaves a void that the entire world feels.
 MT. Hoover says, Europe cannot recover it's economic stability until Russia returns to production" He and the British agree. America may get along better than Europe with out Russia.
 We have not gotten one inch froYi the truisms laid down by Woodrow Wilson in the "14 points," Some call them altruistic, but the world is. learn ing by hard experience that there is no more getting away from the les son taught Cain now than when he tried to show that he was not his brothers keeper.

 Man after all, Is not such a very intelligent human being, and the most Of us seem to be willing to believe anything that we hear around us," said H. G. Kelley, yesterday.
 Take, for instance, the so-ealled hard times. This same thing occurred immediately following the Civil war. People said they had better wait a while so when everyone stopped to let the other fellow go ahead, of course production and business came to a standstill. In 1907 the same thing oc- cured again. Now lot of people are talking the same way. But the man who has the nerve to go ahead now and take chance Is the one who is going to be far ahead when the rest of the crowd wakes up."

 U tain," said James Bowron Verify it cannot be done.
 Just about the time the Tennessee company reduced operations from 80 and 90 per cent to 30 per cent, two new power boats on the Warrior put in at the Port of Birmingham and began moving 5000 tons of steel rails for the orient down the river to Mobile.
 At Mobile the Fairfield City, lat est product of the Fairfield and Ems ley mills and the finishing yards of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car company, is ready to load with these rails for their destination. half way around the world. s
 So long as any part of the globe wants steel plates, rails and billets, just that longawill the mills at Fair field and Ensley continue to operate. This being large world and some of it's people always in need of steel products, it follows that first one and then the other will look to Fairfield and Ensley for the filling of these requirements.
 Birmingham is not on the sea geo. graphically, but enjoys waterway communication. And the sea will save us many times when Red mountain might otherwise seem to be failing in the performance of its mission.

are a number due to rescue work
For example, Mix rescues a girl
from a ru ans insults by throwing
the ruffian off a speeding train. He
rescues this same girl later from a
bunch of city thugs in a cafe. He
rescues the heroine from big rat

Washington, July 29.-While
West Virginia ranks high in the pro-
duction of minerals, in timber re-
sources and in industry, it's rankt
among the state in live stock is not
very high, according to figures is
sued today by the United States CEN
sus bureau as part of the 1920 re-
turns. It's highest rank is in bees.
with only thirteen other states pos
session of greater value than West
Virginia.
The total value of all farm ami
mails in West Virginia for 1920 is
given by the census bureau as s67,-
1,153. The value Of the different
animals in the state is given as fol-
lows: Horses, s17,S29,634; mules,
s1,869,2S7; asses and burros, -1S,45O;
cattle, -33,727,219; sheep, -5,049,72
goats, $4,000; swine, s4,0461 1872 !;
poultry, -4,230,075; bees, -45s,729. J
The rank of West Virginia,
among the states with respect to the
different farm animals is as fox
lows: Horses %; mules, 81; cat
tie, 35; sheep, 26; goats, 81; swine
33; poultry, 10: bees, A.
The average value of horses per
head in 1920 was s9O.13 as compar-
ed with $105.06 in 1910. The aver.
age for mules was $142.S8 in 1920,
and $124,S0 in 1910; for cattle, $751;
40, and S24,26 respectively; sheep
$11.30 and S4.34, and swine, 1855
in 1920 as against 1886 in 1910. It
thus appears that while the aver
age value per head of meat animala
more than doubles, the case was
different with draft animals, horses
showing a decrease in average val.
lie and mules only a moderate In.

GIRL SHOPPERS

Fafrmont, July 30.-Merchants of
Colfax have been blushing so much
lately that, with the hot weather
and all. it has been entirely too
much for them, SO they have taken
measures for relief. The blushing
has been caused by the appearance
in their stores of girls and young
women attired in society bathing
suits, who had been coming from
the various camping sites along the
river nearby. By mutual agreement
the merchants have hung out signs
announcing that they will positively
not sell anything to anyone who
comes in their store so attired.
Fairmont young men are wondering
what ais Colfax merchants. Some
Of them are planning to open a
store in that neighborhood and give
them little competition.

wheat is over for some time to

dollar instead of for two dollars a

it at one dollar bushel when the

Even the farmer and his family are

NO CAUSE FOR UNEAsINEss
(From The Charleston MaiO

1t may be natural that some OF
the state newspapers at distance
from Charleston should be under
some misapprehensions as to the
work of the capitol commission. one
of three misrepresentation seems 10
be that the commission is beng
held up by real estate men. TINS Is
nure conjecture. SO far as the pup
lie knows, the matter has not yet
reached that stage. The capitol COM
mission. according to best 1nforma-
ton, has not yet made a decision. IL
has examined a number of sites, mas
called the Charleston public famll'
lar with local conditions into con
sultation and has asked OF TINS pun
lie their suggestions as to sites the
GOOD noints to be urged on behalf OF
each and the disadvantages. Ihe
commission listened carefully--pul
since then have kept its own coun-
sci, .,o
But il has not been idle in the
meantime, if such authoritative re-
ports that it gives out from time 10
time are taken as they should be
taken, as giving the public the real
position Of the commission on the
site matter. All the data furnished
with respect to the sites proposed Is
now being closely examined in de-
tail. When all this data has been
examined first for verifcation, then
will the comparative advantages of
the different sites be examined
closely and a decision made solely
on what is to the best interests of
the state.

commission, SO far as the public can
