WORD CHANGED IN MEANING
Modern FiIibuster 10 a Comparatively
Harmless Proceeding, Considering
What 1t Once Meant

When a legislator attempts to delay
the progress Of q measure he disap-
proves Of, In the hope Of preventing Its
passage. spending hours upon hours de-
batting 1t. he Is called ''filibuster."
The only parliamentary body In the
world where filibustering to the ex-
treme Is countenanced and where 1t
has q chance Of success Is the United
States senate.
The real meaning Of the word "fili-
buster is q lawless adventurer, espe-
cially one In quest Of plumber. The
term IL derived from the original ILL.,
busters, who were West Indian pirates.
The name Is traceable to that Of the
small, fast-sailing vessels which used
to be called "fiilibotes" or "ny-boats."
Gradually the meaning Of the ex.
preston began to embrace all sorts OF
military adventure. American usage
finally broadened the phrase to such an
extent that 1t now includes those sen.
ators or congressman who use obstruc.
i've and dilatory tactics to gain theil
ends.

BETTER CONDITION
 IN THIS DISTRICT
 REGARDING WORK
Each of Last Few Months Has Shown Substantial Gain In Number of Men Used By
 Larger Industries

The unemployment condition fin the Birmingham district has im- proved rapidly during the past two months, according to statistics gathered by Charles L. Harold, sec retary-manager of the Civic asso- citation, and special agent of the de- pertinent of labor.
 Statistics gathered by MT. Harold include oply the seven principal in dustries of the district in each of which there are 500 or more men em- ployed. According to his report, sent to the department of labor yesterday, there were LEAF more persons em- ployed in these industries on October s1 than there were on August 31, and PAT more employed on October 31 than there were on September 30.
 On october S1 there were 10,17S persons employed in these industries, on September 30 there were 9931 em- ployed and on August 3I there were S,931 employed.
 In the metal industries reporting, there were 1920 employed on October 31, as compared with 6.95O on Sep tember 30, showing a substantial gain There was slight decrease in number employed in the other mis- cellaneous industries, with 2,532 em- ployed on September 30 and 2,491 on October 31.
 While these figures include only the larger industries, the smaller in dustries are also running materially higher said MT. Harold yesterday. The department of labor does not collect figures on these industries, but from reports I have received there has been substantial increase in the number employed in these also."

 At the afternoon session of the school yesterday Mrs Neil Wallace, city amusement inspector, discassed the subject "The Relation of ReIi- gious Education to Birmingham's Amusement and Recreational Life"
 Mrs. Wallace declared that while she felt many films are offensive from the standpoint of good taste, she did not think that many of them are immoral. The danger in motion pictures, she declared, is that chil- dren who are by nature excitable are often too much aroused by them.
 Mrs. Wallace said she had seen a decided improvement in motion pie lures during the past year. The req son the motion pictures are not bet ter. she said, is that when good films

Tt wo lid not do any good If we did, for they have become too important in our amusement life We can't expect to bring all the moving pictures down to the level of the children, any more than we expect to bring Shakespeare to their level"
 Mrs. Wallace offered two solutions to the question. First, she suggested that the church people cooperate with the motion picture houses in bringing good moving pictures to Birmingham by patronizing them and commenting the managers when they have good films. Her second so- luton was instituting of Saturday morning films for the children of the city.
 Mrs. Wallace asked the co-opsra- tion of the Sunday schools in arra1g- ing for the Saturday morning pie lures.

SHIRLEY APPROVES
 NEW YORk'S LAWS
 FOR VICE PROBLEM

Advocating his views concerning the remedy for vice conditions, Chief of Police T. J. Shirley suggests that the city adopt the New York laws as the best solution to present condi- tions in Birmingham.
 "The soclal evIl has been the great est problem in the police departments of this country since time inunemorial and stumbling block over which many superintendents and chiefs ot police have fallen This problem has never been successfully solved ano probably never will be until we have laws requiring that all such persons be chloroformed, stated Chief Shir- ley yesterday.
 "Scientsts have shown that more than 50 per cent of immoral women handled in the penal institutions were weak minded, that more than 90 per cent were infected With some disease, and that practically all of them were not intelligent enough to earn an honest living.
 Subject for All
 "The recent agitation of vice condi- ,tions in Birmingham should inspire the women, as well as the men, to give the subject serious thought ana give the new commissioners their hearty cooperation in doing some constructive work in handling the sit uation.
 Il think the best solution of the vice problem would be to esta bllsh an institution similar to the Magda- line home in New York city.
