HILLMAN HOSPITAL WILL SERVE WHEN NEEDED

The death of former soldier on the streets of Birmingham will prevent other un- fortunates who are at the point of death from being refused admittance to the Hillman hos pital.
 S. R. Hurley, Q scarcely known stranger, who received an imposing military funeral, did not die in vain. The tragedy of his last hours touched the sympathies of Birmingham, but not. alas, until too late to do him any good.
 Dr E. P. Hogan, superintendent of the .Hillman hospital, has given instructions to the superintendent of nurses, the internes and -n nurses of the hospital not to refuse patient whose life is in jeopardy, despite the fact that he may not live in Jefferson county or be charity patient.
 No doubt the person or persons whe de- elinsd to admit Hurley after he was picked up on the street and sent to tho Hillman hos pital aeted< under the impression that 1t would

RURAL SECTIONS AHEAD

"Women of the rural sections are apparent ly taking more interest in qualifying them selves for exercise of their suffrage than their city sisters this year, judging by results of the registration far,' says M. E. Morris, chairman of the Jefferson county board of registrars.
 During our tour of the country precincts, which began January 1, in every rural com munity visited the number of women register ing far exceeded the men. During the first day in which we have been sitting at the court house in Birmingham exactly the opposite condi- tion has prevailed.
 "While a large number of women have ap- peared and had their names placed on the vot- ing lists, the number of men in the city who have registered have exceeded the women. Out of total of approximately 300 registered dur ing the first day, 65 per cent were men, leav- ing about 35 per cent women. Owing to the large number of women registering in ,the rural sections, however, the total of HOO names added to the voting list during the present registration so far shows preponder- ance of the ladies'"

 AND ELSEWHERE
AN INTERESTING CAREER

Miss Anna Upjohn, who will have picture exhibit at the Administration school building this week, has had an interesting Red Cross career" says Oscar Wells.
 "In 1916 she went abroad as volunteer civil ian relief worker with the fund for war deva- tated villages. She worked on this until 1918. She worked in Normandy and had charge of refuge colony. Early in September of 1918 she came on the Red Cross staff and worked with the department of civilian relief at Aube, working with refugees. The following winter she was loaned to the children's department of the Red Cross in order to make some pictures of the childrens work for their exhibit at Cannes.
 "In May of 1919 she was loaned by the Red Cross to go with the Hoover commission to Slo- vakia. She then returned to Paris.
 After two months rest in America, she re- turned to Europe late in October of that year and started in with the Balkan campaign, working in Greece, Palestine, Sovakia, Con- stantinople, Roumania, Servia Montenegro and Albania. Before her final return to America she visited Spain, Belgium and Hol- landn

LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE sE $ HOME PRODUCTS

The firm of Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb an- nounces in an advertisement, "We just learned the other day that the Cement Products com pany of Birmingham was on the map They came and told us about themselves and two- ton truck did the rest"
 This department store is now handling the decorative garden boxes, benches, urns and other articles made by Birmingham firm and states that it is also going to exploit kitchen utensils made in a Birmingham foundry.
 That is the way to encourage home indus try. Trade in Birmingham is not altogether a matter of sentiment and public spirit. It is good business. There is no better, surer way for the people of Birmingham to build up thelr city than to patronize home merchants and home manufacturers.
 Civic associations, the press and individuals cannot emphasize too often or too strongly the benefits of the Grade in Birmingham" movement, which is already bearing fruit, as shown by the attitude of one of the city's largest department stores and that of the Wolf ford Oil company, which transferred it's insur- to companies having local agencies.
 The more money that is spent in Birming- ham the more prosperity there will be for Bir- mingham people,

SIGNS OF SPLENDOR
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harper's Magazine.
 In Richmond household a negro woman by the name of Clarissa comes in occasionally to help by the day. She had been clearing the dinner table one day after plentiful repasr, which, among other delcacies, included huge watermelon, and she passed through the doorway carrying in each hand we'll filled can of the glistening melon rind, she rolled her eyes at the lady of the house and asked:
 Scuse me, Mis- Alice, but would yo all mind eff carried home one of dem cans?"
 "No, Clarissa," was the reply, "but what on earth do you want with it? You don't keep pigs or chickens, do you?"

SHOULD SPURN $1.5o
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 "A fool and his knowledge are soon parted" probably explains your editorial of yesterday abhorrng the temperaments of Birmnghan's s unemployed Strangers"
 It is to say the very least. disgrace to the city of Birmingham to have an employmant department of one of it's industrial plants offer a human being the munificent sum of $1. 50 for days work of 10 or 12 hours.
 As every fair-minded laboring man of Bir- mingham and the state of Alabama will view it, this "offer to work" and others of the sort, is fragrant attempt to cheap labor; a dis graceful attempt to get something for noth- ing; cheap effort to profit at the expense of mans misfortunes. This chivalrous em- poyer, no doubt, wanted to replace, with S1. 50 labor, men to whom they are now paying liv- ing wage.
 And The Birmingham Age-Hera condones the fact that this offer was flatly rejected
 Apparently, the editorial itself was written by $1. 50 brain. THEO. c. BROWN.

THE HOUSEWIVES FAIR

"Very glad to give our store to the women of Birmingham to hold their housewives fair," said Bert Jacobs. ''In the first place, it is for Birmingham that her people may know more about what is made here. We believe that what does good to one person or one set of folk in a community, does good to all.
 "We believe the holding of the housewives fair in our store is good for the women good for the makers of Birmingham products and is good for us. Once we get that cycle going in Birmingham, the battle will have been won. A man should not stop to ask where the direct benefit comes in. He should know that come it will in the end. That is sufficient for the req sonable man.

WORK OR MOVE ON

q am absolutely in favor of the plan of Commissioner Cloe of offering the idle men hanging around the city hall the alternative of work for their keep or being made to move on to some other place." said w. N. Malone. q have made some investigations and found that these men from all over the country. The majority of them do not seem to be our people.
 q know planters in Mississippi and in South Alabama who would be glad to get farm hands and would provide good homes and food. Somehow these wanderers do not seem to be able to find these places, but prefer the bright lights of the cities.
 Work or get out is good slogan. If Bir- mingham lets it be known that she is an easy mark for the loafer they will come here by the hundreds from the cities that will not have them-'

ALABAMA'S DUTY TO WILSON
 FOUNDATION FUND

Little is asked of Alabama in the campaign to raise the million dollar Wilson foundation fund. Her quota is only S35,000. That is B drop in the bucket compared with the develop ment at Muscle Shoals which Alabama owes to the friendly attitude of the former Pres- dent.
 The Wilson foundation fund will be used to honor men who have performed distinguished public service. No name would be more suit able for such a cause than that of Mir. Wilson. There is nowhere on the face of the earth a man who has given more of himself to the com mon veal
 There is not a nook or corner of the universe where the international golden rule of Wood row Wilson has failed to penetrate. The steps toward better understanding are slow and la borious, but the world has decided that Mr. Wilson has not spoken in vain.
 The south should give generously to the Will son foundation fund, and Alabama, which is now in the limelight of the nation incident to an especially large contribution from the Will son administration, should lead the south in supporting this worthy cause.

BIG MEN BACK AUBURN'S S1,OOO,OOO CAMPAIGN

.s The readiness with which representative cit- izens have accepted appointments in the cam paign to raise $1oo0,oOo for the Alabama Polytechnic institute points to the success of that movement. It moreover demonstrates the statewide appreciation of what Auburn has
 Former Governor Conner, who has accepted the position of state chairman of the advisory committee and honorary state chairman, is an aumnus of the state university. Erskne Ram- say, who has consented to act as vice chair man of the state campaign, is alumnus of eastern colleges. They will not be working for their alma matters, but they realize what Auburn signifies in the destiny of Alabama. They assume their positions as Alabamans in- terested in the welfare of their state and con- scious that no agency has counted or will count more for it's development than Auburn.
 It seems that states should be able to pro- vide adequately for their greater institutions of learning out of tax funds, but this is not the case The colleges and universities of the land that are equipped for the service expect ed of them have been endowed by private purses. Auburn needs the help of Alabamians in addition to the funds derived from taxes.
 The million dollars will come all the more readily because Auburn has done wonders with inadequate means and shown what it can and will accomplish with liberal support.

CHILDREN AND FIREARMS

"Many complaints are being received daily about boys who persist in shooting 22-calibre rifles and toy pistols in the residential streets of the city," says w. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety. "We do not desire to make ar- rests in these cases, but unless the parents of the children guilty of such practices take them in hand and make them stop, it will be neces- sary for official action to be taken by the police department, even to the extent of mak- ing arrests and instituting prosecutions.
 Firing of these weapons inside the city limits is not only violation of the municipal ordinances, but it is a constant source of dan ger to everyone within range adults as well as other children, and it must be stopped. A particularly large number of complaints are received from the West End section of the city. Parents are urged to take their children in hand, and, if necessary, inflict such pun ishment them will prevent further shoot ing by them. By doing this parents will save themselves from having their children prose cuted and payment of resulting fines."

WONDERFUL GROUP OF PICTURES

"We hope as many as possible will go by to see the wonderful exhibit of pictures by Miss Anna Milo Upjohn, which can now be seen at the school administration building, Twenty-frst street and Park avenue" said Miss Virginia B. Hadley.
 The pictures are remarkable reproductions of children and child life in Belgium and other war-stricken areas. As I went into the door yesterday 1 at once recognized scene in Bruges showing group of children seated in certain place which l myself had photo graphed with group of similar children.
 Miss Upjohn is here under the auspices of the Junior Red Cross, which is now doing q wonderful work in encouraging children menl- bers here and in Europe to correspond with each other and exchange views and scenes of their native countries and cities. We believe it will be a wonderful thing for the future to have these children acquainted with each other and understanding each others point of view"
