 LA GUERRE NEST PAS FINI
 Editorial by Post Commander
 The fight on the adjusted compen- sation bill still goes on. The charge by the American Legion that the "Referendums held by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States was not presented in good faith goes still unanswered
 Truth is. the so-called "Referen- dunn" held by the Chamber of Com merce was not upon the five-fold bill The majority of the Chambers of Commerce throughout the coun- try did not know this. when they cast their votes.
 In spite of this. it is noteworthy that the Legion's bill passed the House by vote of 333 to 70. which clearly shows the attitude of the pup- i lie upon this matter The bill is now before the Senate finance committee, which has been considered from the ] beginning. as the "Hindenberg line" of the fight upon the so-called "Btnus Bill"

The story thus far:

ht StOiy lhdS idi
 At the end of long journey, Ca mille Westbrook finds herself in South Africa, engaged to Elliot Glyn, the man of her choice. She has journeyed there with Dolly Mortimer, whose husband Is at Johannesburg. Reggie Van Tuyl, who gave Camille a sapphire as security for money she lent him, has followed them. Ca mile has discovered that the sap phire was stolen by Reggie from q Kimberly mine and has returned it. He is in love with Camille and has threatened harm to Glyn.
 q say, Camille do look who's com ing," Dolly jerked the yellow sweater she was knitting in the direction of a gaudily attired young woman who was coming up the veranda steps. Did you ever see such awful colors in your life? And oh; the hat!"
 Camille looked in the required direction. and observed that the new l. conner, who was pronounced bru- rette, wore an immense picture hat trimmed with crimson roses of enor- nous size, blue frock of violent shade of cobalt, and a lemon scarf
 She rang the bell with diffident air, and when the maid appeared, said something to her, whereupon the latter brought her along the "stoop'' towards Camille and Dolly.
 "A lady to see you" she said vaguely. for the newcomer had not given her name.
 Mrs. Mortimer? Miss West West-9" Her accent was foreign. She looked oddly at Camille.
 "I am Miss Westbrook," said the girl quickly, jumping up, while Dolly stared
 T hope you will forgive my com ing here" said the garishly attired stranger shyly My name-'-she pronounced the words slowly and carefully, but with broken accent my name is Mrs. Reginald Van Tuyl"
 Good God." Dolly forgot her man ners. and her mouth fell open. Reg gie Van Tuyfs wite? He hasn't got a wife!"
 Tnc woman wasn't even white. She was quarter-caste. with a strong touch of the tar brush" as the glear in her black eyes clearly showed. The whites of those eyes had a slightly yellow tinge. and there was just hint of yellow under the finger nails. Besides. that rope of coal black hair curled much too fuz- zily. in a land where woolly hair abounds'

- POST POLITICS WARMING UP

Politics in Birmingham Post Nc. 1 of the American Legion are warmi ing 2 1 up. The election of officers of the post is only a month off. Of course. interest is centering mainly upon the office of post commander. Only three names are being generally discussed thus far.
 This will result in material benefit to the post, in that many members who have been delinquent in the gay 7 ment of their membership dues are beginning to remit in order that they may be qualified to cast their vote for their candidate.
 Birmingham Post No. l being the bigge { Post in the state, and in fact the biggest Post in the southern states, is necessarily looked to as a sort of example to the other posts in the Alabama department. Due to industrial conditions locally the pre- mier post has had rather rough sail- ing during 1922. But with gradually improving conditions great many service men who have been without jobs and without funds necessary to meet their dues in the post, are put ting themselves back in good stand ing.
 The post through it's own em- ployment office is placing on an ave- rage of 10 men day in permanent jobs Even in dollars and cents the time is approaching when the legion chow house and emploment office will have more than paid for them selves. But this is not the real con sideration in the matter. In services rendered, in living up to the tenth clause of the preamble of the con- stitutiou. the returns from the in vestment in these activities of the local post. will be more than tenfold.
 The work done by the local post through these two agensies is a con elusive answer to the question that has been sometimes asked, what is the American Legion, and what does 1t do?" Equally important is the fact that Birmingham Post No. 1 has proved Itself before the Birmingham public This fact has been demon strated in a substantial way through the countless donations by the public and which have enabled these two agencies of the local post to carry nn

DEVOTE WEEK IN AID
 OF POSTAL SERVICE
"HeIp Us to Help You" Will Be the Slogan of All
 Workers

| Some mutually helpful tips to pos tai employees and the public at large are submitted by Postmaster R. B.. | Smyer, in the hope that purpose for observing Postal Improvement Week" which begins today, will be carried out. thus making the postal service in Birmingham more effi- cient. expeditions and satisfactory to all concerned.
 Help Us to Help You" and Mail Early and Often" will be seen on streamers which will adorn all city mail trucks, and from interest being manifested by post office officials and employees yesterday and through out the period of preparation, much good will grow out of the campaign Here are some of the tips" to the "tipable:"
 Preparation of Mail Separate mail into classes: face all one way; and tie into bundles. 25 to 50 pieces in bundle, and third class in larger bundles to states and towns.
 Notify post office In advance of large mailing and delivery to main office.
 Address plainly. correctly and avoid doubtful or misleading abbre- yiations. Spell it out.
 Birmingham is no longer a village but city of 225,0 people, hence use box or street and number in ad- dressing mail and have your corre- spondents do the same. You may be prominent citizen, but all clerks and carriers handling your mall may not know you, and. if there Is an- other patron of the same name, the directory section would return your mail for better address.
 Prepay postage in full. Postage due" results in delay. Envelopes and advertising cards should not exceed 4x9 inches to reach destination in good condition. nor should they be smaller than standard size. Leave not less than 3h inches clear space at right end of envelope for address, postmark and forwarding.
 The name and address {street and number) of sender should be placed in upper left corner of all mail
 If large mailer. obtain and use a pre-canceled stamp or "paid in money" permit for all second. third and fourth class matter.
 Avoid heavy mailing of advertising matter on the last days or the first of the month.
 Do not use wire clips on advertis- ing matter; 1t will not go through the cancelling machine.
 Pack parcels properly; tie se- curely; mark "perishable," fragile" glass" "freezeable.' keep from heat" according to nature of con tents.
 Rate parcels with reference to zones, which is not based on railroad mileage. Use postal guide or zone rate sheet.
 Insure parcels and keep record of all insured and c. o. d. parcels and for.

ALLGOOD URGES STATEF FARMERS
 ID JOIN IN POOL
Declares Thousands of Dol lars May Be Saved by Co., operative Marketing
 of Cotton Crop
By FRED II. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age Herald, q2I-2 First National Bank Building


 Montgomery, April Specially M. C. Allgood state commissioner of agriculture to Join one of the cotton pools now being organized for the marketing of this years crop. He declared that thousands of dol lars will be saved the farmers of this state by an agreement whereby their cotton will be placed on the market when needed.
 T have visited other states and seen the pools in operation and there- by recommend these methods to Ala bama farmers as an aid to uniform and safe marketing" said Commis- sioner Allgood. The cotton pool Is just . cotton company formed on a gigantic basis, with experts In charge of every department that are well bonded. If you are dissatisfied with the old system of selling cotton, then this is the very best cooperative method I have ever known as 1t is based on law and while the indl- viduaf farmer has absolutely nothing to say in regard to the sale of his cotton, yet all in the pool receive the same price per pound, based on mid ding, for if my cotton in the pool is sold at a time of the year when cot ton brings 12 cents and yours sold in & pool at another time and brings 16 cents then we would be settled with on 14-cent basis.
 Commissioner A1lgood expressed the opinion that 1t will be necessary to obtain 100000 bales in pool before 1t can be made profitable to the members. He also said the benefit of the pool naturally will come to those who do not find 1t necessary to sell the cotton to meet obligations and that small farmers who produce only one or two bales and owe everything for supplies, will not be in position to obtain much benefit from the pool.
