I1SN pooJu LOOK prizG Tn IHo woman's department and up to ' o'clock D. m. yesterday about 5000 women hove up in front of the booth to speculate how she did it, and declare they'd be in the sanitarium by now if they had even thought one good long hour on attempting such a Mont Blanc task.
 All Booths Lovely
 So pretty Is everything in the de- pertinent, so womanly fair, including Mrs. J. B. Reid, who this year is launched out on her Twenty-fourth year as manager of the woman's divi- sion; and in addition to that is launch- ed out as helpful counsellor. friend, sympathizer, and ..pusher" for the better education of all women throughout Alabama in the work of making homes prettier, most taste ful. and cosier
 Because if you haven't got that idea of the state fairs feminine show, you're failing to get the point.
 Any woman who enters always comes out with a million new things learned. She sees different types of fancy work, sees how other women make their husbands shirts, finds out now to ITlIn her own udIS, kGLS T slant on carpet making.
 In addition, she learns how to com bine colors, how to arrange room, what the latest forms of luncheon cloths are. and how to economize al home by making things she never dreamed about before with her busy fingers.
 Fine Labor
 It's such a magnificent work which Mrs. Reid is doing. It is veritable shame the state of Alabama does not give some funds to the Birming- ham fair that more prizes could be offered to enlarge and diversity the showings.
 Such money must actually make for less divorce, and more marital happiness
 For, don't you ever forget 1t, hus- bands take almost as much interest in their wives work, and rightfully so. as they do themselves. And when the women file in the Monday morn ings when the fairs begin. to see who has won such and such prizes, there waiting anxious1y at the door are most of those husbands, who can't be patient to be telephoned tol
 Said one woman:
 .It's high time that 6 really big financial shoulder be lent to the stimulation of home making. What could be finer for this state than that several thousand women get busy, like their grandmothers did, making home regular happy, gior- ious state fair worship? The stimu- Jus would keep a lot of women orr the streets, encourage them to great CT economy, develop personal work ing pride. and train unskilled fingers how to make home everything 1t might bo for the hearts real com fort.
 Busy women, whose home duties are not just mostly to cook and darn socks, are much to be desired and en-

 But District Attorney Weeks in- troduced other letters, seeking to show that the school teacher had ceased to care for Greasy. One was an unfinished letter found on Miss Lavoy's desk, In which she wrote that Billie was an oil can and that she hated him.'s

 sides Nearer Together
 That part of the agreement, pro- viding for the creation of fact finding commission to survey the coal 3ndustry, over which there has been much controversy between the miners and operators, appeared to be the point of compromise between the two parties at informal meetings be- tween leaders of both sides today.
 The operators agreed at their caucus that in as much as the cre- ation of such commission had been provided for under the Borah- Wins low bill, naming of such body was 3ot necessary. Miners. however, have cofitended that this comm ssica should be named but t was learned in official quarters that no deter mined effort would be made by tine miners at tomorrows Joint session Q carry through this part of the agree ment It was pointed out that the miners would ask for committee to name panel of operators and miners to be submitted to Presidens Harding for the selection of such a commission but that this did not mean that the President would choos 2 from this list.

Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America ad dressing the joint session today pointed out that creation of the com mission to prepare method of ne gotiating next years wage scale did not bind the members of the con- ference to accept the commissions 5 Bindings MT.
