Mrs. Harding Newspaper
 Worker Like President

 It is found by most women who thus tako up newspaper work it is so fascinating, always furnishes thrills and so frlghtfully much to do, that when they once enter the work they do not give 1t up. Q
 One person described the reason this way:
 They can't give 1t up. It's like plotting an alrplane-only worse There is an end to an airplane ride; but there Is no end to the getting out of daily newspaper. It's like Tennyson's brook--it goes on all the time"
 In Birmingham. Mrs. Barrett, who Is the wife of Ned Brace" editor of The Age Herald, is the first woman 70 take up the profession. She Is mak- ing a wonderful success of 1t. as Age Herald readers cant help but know from the many new features she has added. While MT. Barrett looks after the busy affairs of editor, Mrs Bar rett plans a variety of things and puts them across as well as attending to the business side of the paper. Among the things she has done are: The ad- dition of q Boy Scout page, chil- dren's page, a market page, and woman's department which is inter ested in every activity women are en- gagged in throughout the whole city, She is a splendid executive in every way-and a most clever writer.

 John L. Raul, lumberman, said: President Harding is bound to ap- preciate a compliment so delicately extended. It must have been a great surprise to him to read in the morn ing Age Herald the news that ap- peared in the latest issue of his own paper, hundreds of miles distant, and to see the familiar headlines and dress of his own paper down here in the heart of the south. Things like that cannot but make a man warm up to city that extends such gra- ciou courtesy"
 It Was Fine
 Henry l.. Badham, coal operator, said :"It was fine. l regard 1t as about the very best newspaper feat ever heard of. It could not be beat for uniqueness. and 1t was the per lection of a neat and natty finished ,product. I know Mir. Harding must have enjoyed it.
