MORE TRUTH
 THAN POETRY
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

IN DEFENSE OF WOMEN From all that we have read of Mrs.
 Borgla.
 The commonest conventions she
 defied: She fed the Florence boys on Sundry sorts of deadly poison. And shut them in the cellar till She had but little heart, and still less And all the great historians agree That the life in which she gloried Was both murderous and horrid, And not what any lady's ought to
 be. In early youth. her thoughts were
 turned to evil, And yet as far as anyone's aware, The way that she was bodiced Was not shockingly immodest, And never did she bog her hair. Wye never held a brief for Cleo
 patra;
 She led a very dissipated life. She had not the least objection To bestowing her affection On Roman who already had q
 wife. Sho conducted her affairs with easy
 freedom,
 And, according to reliable report With the people of her nation She possessed a reputation Of-to put 1t mild--a very doubt
 full sort. But. although she did lot of things
 she shouldn't, Though her suitors thronged her
 palaces in flocks, None of those who've written of her Have been able to discover That she ever rouged her cheeks or
 rolled her socks. There's moral in the two preceding
 stanzas,
 Which you'll fathom with a mini
 mum of guesses. If you find there's something shady In the conduct of lady, It's the way she acts, and not the
 way she dresses.

 ON UNEMPLO LOYMENT
 AT MASONIC MEETING

Birmingham Masonic employment bureau was given a decided impetus Iast night when Judge William E. Fort addressed a general meeting of tEe organization at the Masonic tenn Die on The Relation of UnempIoy- ment to resent Crime Conditions.,
 Judge Fort stressed the need of a bureau that would serve to bring men into touch with jobs, and urged upon every Mason in the Birmingham dis trict to give his support to the bu- reau.
 A great deal of crime is laid at the door of unemployment, he told his hearers, and justly so, for when men are out of work and are hungry they will resort to all manner of unlawful pursuits to obtain 8 livelihood.
 Following Judge Forts address several prominent Masons pledged their support to the institution and offered their services in the work Of obtaining positions for dependent Masons and members of their family.
 H. H. McFerren. superintendent Of the employment bureau, submitted his third report to the meeting which indicated that the organization had doubled it's usefulness in the past three months.

Certain Charges of Trial Judge
 Held Preiudicial

Montgomery, November 29.-(Spe- al.)--Henry Smith of Bibb county. who was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to 12 years in prison. won another trial in the court of appeals Tuesday. The appellate court held that certain charges of the trial judge were prejudicial to the defendant and took from the jury a discretion about de- ciding the value of evidence which should have remained with it.
 Smiths case was reversed and re- manded to the Bibb circuit court. The court of appeals handed down sev- eral decisions in minor cases, great majority being dismissal of appeals in cases which had been appealed merely for delay.
