 Five Weeks In HOmburg
 T spent five weeks in Bad Hom- burg, the famous resort near Frank fort. This beautiful town was made famous by the former Prince of Wales. who spent a fortune to beau tify it. l stopped at the hotel which was filled with guests from all na- tions of the world. The American dollar is a household word in Ger many-every one from the humblest worker up awaits daily the quota tions of the American dollar Switz- erland is one of Gods countries. blessed with climatic conditions and the loveliest sceneries of the world and Is filled with Americans at all) seasons of the year.
 In Holland and Otherwise
 T spent few days In Holland on my arrival in Europe and find it a very prosperous and interesting coun- try. Hotel accommodations in Ger many, France and England had to be secured weeks in advance for any lengthy stay. In Germany the hotel rates were very reasonable on ac- Paris, London and The Hague the prices were New York prices.
 My trip was mostly for my health and to visit my brothers and sisters, except in Paris, where l devoted my entire time to business matters per -taining to the Hirsch Millinery com pany. Summing up my various vis it's to Europe, including this last one I have come to the conclusion that America is the greatest country in the world. especially so in the busi- ness methods of the mercantile Inter ests American women are easily recognized as the style leaders in any city you may visit In Europe inc1ud- ing Paris. The American dollar is the recognized of al monies in the world so I came back to my remark. that I am glad to be back in America and glad to be back in Birmingham"

HARDING FAVORED FOR DENOMINATION
 IN SENATE POLL
Alabama Banker May Yet Be Renamed on Federal Reserve Board-Senate Favorable,
 President Doubtful
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald,
 BOO Davidson Building


 Washington. September 30.-(Spe- cial)-It is announced today at the office of Senator Reed of Pennsyl- vania that the Senate would cast a minimum9 of 55. and a maximum of 59 votes, for the confirmation of W. F. c. Harding of Alabama as gov ernor of the federal reserve board should the President offer him an other appointment.
 Late this afternoon Andrew W. Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury. and John W. Weeks. Secretary of War. urged the President to reap point Governor Harding. because of his fitness and his experience.
 While the President has been un- derstood to be desirous of reappoint- Ing Governor Harding and hesitant only because of fear that the farm bloc in the Senate would defeat the nomination, it Is not at all certain, even now, that the appointment will be made.
 Western senators have informed the President that the reappointment of Harding would cause western states, even Iowa. to go democratic. This gives tho President pause, and yet business interests of the country are urging him to act favorably, and
 
 New York are declaring that in matter of such gravity the President cannot afford to stoop to the variety or politics that has been played by certain southern senators under the direction of John Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the currency.
 Conflicting Reports
 There Is one report today that the President will offer the two avail able positions to Governor. Harding and J. R. Howard of Iowa, president of the American Farm Bureau fed eration. There Is still another report that the President. viewing the op- position of some democratic senators to the proposed appointment of democrat and a southerner will give the very desirable berth to ..de- serving" adherent of his own party. The opposition to Governor Hard ing Is based on the deflation policy which was put into effect while President Wilson was in the White House, and which, desipte certain suffering. prevented, in the opinion of financiers. the most distressful panic in the history of the country. Senator Glass of. Virginia. closer to the former President than any other man in Washingto ardently sup ports the administration of Governor Harding, and that MT. Wilson does likewise Is the natural presumption. Since the death of Senator Watson of Georgia, Governor Harding's only bitter opponent Is Senator Heflin of Alabama. Should Harding not be reappointed neither the south nor the democratic party would have repre- sentation on the board.
