Mother Writes i1 Defense
 OfLife at the Uniuersity

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 am writing to ask that you kind y give me short space in your, valued columns that I may speak d word In behalf of the University of AlabaRa. As much favored special student of this great institution, l cant remain silent when she s as sailed by the untrue and unjust ru- mors which have come to my ear regarding the morals of the student body
 For four years while my son was working for his much prized R. A. and l.. L. B. degrees just secured, 1 was allowed the great pleasure and privilege of joining classes in the University, so while I was not study ing for credits, st.ll I was a faithful as well as grateful student for that period of time.
 As a sturenr and as a mother of an active frat member and dil.eent student for eou' yeais I occupied unique position at the university and did not fail U keep my eyes open re- gardinG all the college activities, so- cial, religious, athletic and in the mater of the wonderful scholastic op- portunities offered
 unCer the ah'a administration of the splendid president, pr. G H. Denny and his ao.5s of most capable assistants, l have watched with pride the growth of the student body and have been especially pleased to see that the young womanhood of Ala bama is alive to the wonderful op- portunities which our state insti- tuition offers them.
 And finer, purer set of young women can't be found anywhere than is the co-ed branch of the student body of U. of A. I know them, for they are my friends and the friends Of my boy. Dr. Denny said that of a student body of 300 co-eds dusing the past session no; one compiaint had come to his office regarding the conduct of single young woman. Surely that is wonderful record and end one of which Alabama has cause to be justly proud.
 Doubtless I can enlighten the moth CTS of Alabama on the subject of the protecting arms which the Uni- versity throws around their daugh- ters No young woman unless a se- nior is allowed to ride in an auto mobile with a man without a chap erone. and then only in the day.
 In the evening all co-eds are re- quired to have chaperones for din nors at the hotel and automobile ildes. and they must report at the dormitory at eleven o'clock D. m, af- ter all dates, except when special permission is allowed for attendance upon dances given hy the Cottillion club
 l know all this because my son vas a member of the Cottil,ion club and I have chaperoned the co-eds on

l many occasions in my own car and at hotel dinners, etc. I understand that young girl who attends Soahie Newcombe can secure her mothers $ permission to go when she pleases and with whom she pleases, but U. of A. is no respecter of persons end all co-eds have to endure chaper- ones.
 Criticism has been made of the University dances put I Have found that in every case 1t has been caused by young women who have come as guests from other parts of the state and not by the co-eds. Such was the inspiration of most untortanate article which appeared in the Tusca- lcosa News last April and which seems to have reflected upon and injured the university
 The Cotillion club had given a beautiful dance thoroughly chaper- oned-I myself being one of the num- ber-at 1:3o Home Sweet Home" was played, the co-eds went to the dormitory and retired.
 A dance was given by a private citizen of Tuscaloosa after the Cot iilion club dance was over, so a num- Der of the guests from out of town were invited. It seems that two young girls with their chaperons at tended this second dance and were SC en coming out of a cafe where they went for refreshmnts before taking the 400 a. m. train for Birm ingnam and this simple fact was the cause of the appearance of an article which was copied in "all of the papers of the state to the detriment of the University of Alabama and ;ne in- fdcent young co-eds who Were peace fully slumbering at the time. The story of the three black crows" iJ a mere bagatelle when 1t comes to re- porting occurrences at the university, and l feel impelled to speak up' and tell the truth as l have seen and know it.
 Mothers need have no anxiety about trusting their daughters with our great state college where everything possible Is done for their spiritual, mental and moral davelo pment.
 Perhaps it Is not generally known that a class of 35 Sunday school teachers was graduated in the Bible course of U. of A. this last commence nent. l have the great honor of pos sessing one of these certificates and thoroughly enjoyed the course.
 Surely 1t Is the duty of every loyal citizen of Alabama to bend every eff fort to build up it's state institutions instead of trying to tear them oown
 In justice to the University of Ala bama and in order to rectify the un- happy effects of the above mention ed article, I shall be grateful if you will kindly publish this statement in your Sunday paper and request tha< it be copied in the papers through out the south. Very truly.

pointments. The room was like a bee hive, with all the corners buzzing about the diverse responsibilities of the Attorney General patronage, court appointments, what had be- come of the "red" agitation, prohibit ton, and this latter subject was more or less active all over the room.
 According to some of his friends, the Attorney General thinks that prohibition opinions of the depart ment of justice can be written better by a man than by woman. and that henceforth that phase of the work of his office should be entrusted to a male assistant who will take over the duties formerly assigned to Miss Adams, the first woman to hold the position of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Miss Adams place is still vacant; the Attorney General is not yet ready to announce her republican successor.
 But the fact that MT. Daugherty thinks the country has had enough of the feminine viewpoint of prohibition is no particular index of the new At torney~ General now at work on the sixth floor of the department of justice. Some officials in Washing ton, and opponents of the Volstead act, say that Miss Adams bore down on the liquor question with consid erable bitterness. As one of the wet" leaders expressed 1t, the lady in the department of justice was always after us''
 Atmosphere of Office
 The picture, and the atmosphere of the Attorney Generals office today is nF r1f1 a hlatla nd change, change not only in the methods of work. but In the head of the department himself. who every day since his arrival at the capital has shown the effect of growing sense of the large responsibilities of his office. A flash of the Attorney General at work by which the coun- try could most easily gauge him would be that of a man so submerged in the organization of his depart ment and in settling the republican party in office, as to be able barely to look up from his task and find free moment.
 More placid and less harassed coun- tenances of former Attorney Gen erals--Wayne Macveagh, Philander c. Knox, George W. Wickersham-- look down from the walls, but Mir. Daugherty mops his brow and con tinues to canvass the duties and as- signments of his staff with a view to readjustment and, almost at the same time, cope with the pressure upon him to settle the patronage question settled upon him.
 MT. Daugherty had not been here long before his mind was made up that the country has had enough of the wide publicity which the depart ment had courted under MT. Palmer.

 The various recent steps of the ad- ministration, taken in conformity with the policy of associatng our selves with the other nations, have been misinterpreted abroad as steps in the direction of a possible future entrance into some form of modi- fled League of Nations The President is just as opposed to the league as an instrument of world government as he ever was. He is not opposed to unofficial and informal associations such as the allied supreme council represents, provided always thas America reserves her own right of decision.
 The President also is constitution ally opposed to all alliances where America is concerned and will have no part of them. While Europe Is filled with talk of new alliances, new groupings of the big nations, the United States government looks on calm and unafraid. We are ready to associate with all the nations in an alliance of friendship, good will and heln to humanity. That Is the world entente President Harding desires.

 DRY LAW VICTIM

Washington, June 1S.-One of the latest victims of the revenue laws is the commandant of the navy sub marine base at New London, Conn, according to report received today by Secretary Denby.
 When internal revenue collectors visited the base recently to investi- gate sales of ice cream and soda water in the canteens and to enforce payment of taxes on them, the com mandant refused to permit them to make the investigation.
 The collector for Connecticut has ordered the commandant reported for violation of the revenue laws. and the latter has requested direc- tions from the secretary as to what course to follow in the future. MT. Derby is considering the question.
