NO CLUE FOUND TO
 ASSAILANT OF 26TH
 STREET MERCHANT

Police were unable up to a late hour last night to determine the identity of the assailant of Gaspero lanza, a Twenty sixth street mer- chant, who was found knocked in the head in his store at e201 North Twenty street.
 Police Officers Norris and Ives were notified at about 1:45 o'clock yesterday morning by the Norwood hospital authorities that Mrs. Ianza had brought her husband to the hos pital in serious condition as re- suit of probably having been knocked in the head sometime be- tween the hours of g o'clock Sat- urday night and 1 o'clock Sunday morning. It is said that Mrs. Ianza became alarmed when her husband did not return from the store after midnight and went in search of him. finding him lying on the floor of the store unconscious.
 Hospital authorities reported last night that Ianza had not regained consciousness since being placed in the hospital. Detectives are working on the case but no details of 1t could be gained due to the condition of the victim.

Something very unusual for Ala bama is going to take place in Jan uary.
 The government is going to begin investigation into exactly the condi- tons under which Alabama women work. their hours and wages.
 This investigation is to be made by the government for the League of Women Voters--and following it, the women will be in a position to know exactly what are facts and what laws must be asked from the state legislature at Montgomery.
 Miss Mary McDougal of Chicago is the woman under whose official ship the work is being asked from Uncle Sam, and her state chairman here, who has used great influence toward having the survey for Ala bama, is Miss Mollie Dowd, who is already asking Alabama women of the various counties to become chairman for hospitality to the corps of workers Uncle Sam will send.
 Birmingham will be their official headquarters, and it is possible that both men and women will make the survey. It is sure that several wom- en will be employed in 1t.
 It will be the inst time that such a survey has ever been made in Ala bama for women alone, and every factory, every restaurant, every in dustry, every mercantile establish ment; in fact, every place where women are employed in gainful tasks, will be investigated. The survey Is not to be a perfunctory one---for it will last four or five months, closing in June. 1922. After this the members of the League of Women Voters will receive the gov ernment report-and will have time to spread it before the people of Alabama to familiarize them with it before the meeting of the legisla- ture in 1923.
 Need Education
 "All our citizens need is just education to make the right kind of laws. But we cannot know what kind of laws we actually need till We find out exact conditions. It is because we do not want to take a leap in the dark that we have asked the government to help" said Miss Dowd yesterday.
 "Of course we shall find many con- ditions that should not exist, and these are the things that we wish to eradicate.
 "The matter of sanitation is one that interests us greatly. The lack of it beats down our general health and makes less capable workers and mothers of the race.
 "The government report will be extremely interesting in that 1t will show how Alabama compares with other states in the matter of prop CT working conditions for it's women"
 Revealing the contrast betweea good and bad factories and indus tries, the school of citizenship, con- ducted under the auspices of the

FIRST RALLY FOR
 CIVIC ASSOCIATION
President Hatfield to Outline Methods of Conven-
 ton Bureau

The first general rally of the Civic Association in it's new quarters at the EIillman hotel will be held on the night of october 21 with keynote address by Charles F. Hatfield of St. Louis. president of the National As- sociation of Convention Bureaus, and also of the Community Advertising department of the Associated Adver- tisinC Clubs Of the World.
 Coming just before the opening of the great emi-centennial celebration, President Hugh A. Locke with the en- tertainment committee has decided that the meeting shall be the occasion of arousing tho entire membership of the Civic Association to the im- portance of exerting every energy to- wards making a signal success of the celebration.
 MT. Hatfield, who will be, the principal speaker, will set forth the essentials of community building with special emphasis on publicity as applied to the city. He is regarded as one of the leading convention ex- perts of the United States, being the manager of the St. Louis publicity, convention and tourist bureau, whose record of conventions captured and efficiently entertained probably leads all the cities of the nation, accord ing to Harry Halfacre, chairman of the Civic Association convention committee. 4
 MT. Hatfield has always main tained that Birmingham should. by virtue of it's geographical location and the charms of it's scenery, as well as the industrial resources, be very prominent convention city. He is convinced, however that Bir- mingham, no more than any other city, can make little progress in the convention line until full-time bu- reau, supported by the entire com munity, has been organized and ade- quately financed. He has. therefore, been asked to outline the methods and indicate the functions of such organized bureau during his Bir- mingham address.

League of Women Voters last week showed an interesting motion picture that Miss Mcdowell is sending throughout the country, as chairman of the committee of women in indus try of the National League of Women Voters. It came from ss Mary Anderson of the woman's gov- ernment bureau.
 Reel after reel, which began with the childhood of a boy and girl, in which the boy was made fun of be- cause he let the girl partly have her way about constructing some childish plaything, went on to show how men do need women's help in many mat ters-and how the best good for both Is accomplished if the woman pointi the way in many things.
 Girl writers were shown in many very real factories, where poor ven- tilation and bad working conditions made anemics of them. Modern showing the decided difference in health, and also the conservation of womens strength by mechanical de- vices that lifted all the heavy loads instead of placing them on womens shoulders. Conditions for medical at tention were contrasted in case of mashed fingers, illness or accidents of a serious nature. One factory shown had only a pile of bags to offer 9 girl for a place to lie upon when she was sick.
 The proper protection for women in industry was in other ways very thoroughly gone into at the local citizenship school.
 Miss Mcdowell May Come
 It is possible that Miss McDow- ell will visit Birmingham within the months to come, since not only Miss Dowd but at least 10 other women form her workers for Alabama. Her interest in women and children is profound and is neither new de- veiopment nor the result of theo- retical study. For years she lived back of the yards" as head resident of the University of Chicago settle ment. In this district live huddled together the thousands of men, women and children, Poles, Slovaks. Lithuanians, Bohemians who furnish the unskilled labor for the great stock yards and meat packing indus tries of Chicago. She fought the city's arrangement for dumping it's garbage into deep holes, made by excavating clay for the manufacture of brick, which abounded in her neighborhood. The owners received money from the city as rental. Thou sands of children died because of the conditions created by the surround ings and the filth.
 Her fight resulted in the city's dis- continuance of the dumps.
 Miss Mcdowell and Jane Addams were the first two women who worked for a federal appropriation for the investigation of working conditions of women and children. After securing President Roosevelt's support and interest, money was ap- propriated for scientific and com prehensve survey of these conditions.

CHILDREN'S TENNIS TOURNAMENT FINALS
 THIS WEEK AT CLUB

The tennis tournament games of the Birmingham playgrounds will go on Tuesday snd Wednesday.
 The County club. which has lent it's grounds to the children. will be the scene of games between both boys and girls. The games will be- gin at 3 o'clock. The finals in the girls games will probably be played Tuesday, and it is likely that the finals in the boys games will be finished Wednesday.
 At any rate, the children will take up their tournament games right where the rain stopped them last week.
 The tennis racquets which are to be given will be presented on the day of the finals, and given on the ground. As Commissioner J. Ellis Brown cannot conveniently be pres ent, the presentation will likely fall upon T. D. Moor. superintendent 1r playgrounds. who is in charge of the tournament.
 The County club offered it's grounds for tomorrow also. but Chill dren's Day at the fair prevents the playing.
 The weather is fine for tennis, and large crowd is expected Tuesday. An, one is welcome.
