FRENCH "ARTISTS"

From the Christian Science Monitor.
The other day famous French chef was en-
tertained in London. This month it is the re-
nowned French hairdresser, M. Marcel, who
discovered, SO years ago, how to ''wave" the
hair of women. The French and English are
sometimes more democratic than the people on
the American continent--an artist with them is
an artist, whether his art is waving the hair
of women or cooking a meal for them. Hair
dressers in London are arranging a Marcel
celebration in horticultural hall, and will raise
a fund throughout England to assssS in endow-
ing village in the devastated areas of France

all the donors, will be presented to M. Marcel.
AS the Tipes of London remarks, mot all in

Speaking of the retirement of j. Fritz
Thompson, solicitor of the oFurth judicial
district, who has resigned that position to prac-
tice law in Birmingham in partnership with
Logan w. Martin and Perry Turner, Attorney
General Harwell G. Davis said: "Mr. Thomp-
son has always been faithful in the perform
ance of his duties and always willing to take
upon himself any extra duties which were
necessary in the enforcement of the criminal
laws of Alabama. There was never any COM
promise with him when there was need for
vindication Of the law An innocent person
was safe with him, although he was the prose-
cutting officer, but guilty person was never
able to find means of effecting compro-
mise with him. I am TRULY sorry that Mr.
Thompson has decided to quit the public
service"
Mr.. Thompson will move to Birmingham
Monday.

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
St. Stephens was also the starting point of
the United States government survey of the

vile being the one for north Alabama. These
surveys meet in Greene county along Sipsey
passes through Boligee, thus placing our range

RECORD SHIPMENT OF FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES

Shipments of fruits and vegetables from
Alabama farms this year compared with the
previous season show that this lucrative fea-
ture Of agriculture has greatly increased in
Alabama as in other southern states. The fol-
lowing paragraph appears in the current issue
of the Alabama Markets Journal
According to recent shipping records the
movement of Alabama fruits and vegetables for
1922 shows large increase over the season of
1921. The number of cars is given as fol-
lows: Irish potatoes, 1000 cars against 696 for
last year; sweet potatoes, 619 against 482;
cabbage, 1926 against 800; Strawberries, 45o
against 2S5; watermelons, 1,760 against 1,4s5;
Satsuma oranges, 200 against 49,"
The farmers are to be congratulated for
having applied business methods to the distribu-
ton Of farm products. With the farmer a
business man there is no end to the prosperity
facing state blessed as this is with the nat
ural wealth Of SOIL climate, minerals, water
ways transportation, water power and stable
and contented source of labor.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

"Fire prevention week should receive the
sober thought of every serious-minded citizen,
said Anglin White, local real estate and insur-
ance man.
"The matter Of fire prevention closely af-
fects the interests of every owner of any sort
of property, whether he ever has or ever will
suffer loss from fire. refer to fire insur-
ance rates.
eIn the year 1921 the proportion Of fire
claims to insurance premiums increased IN
Alabama from 43 per cent to 70 per cent; DO
per cent is considered by insurance companies
as the dead line,' and when a territory goes
above that percentage it is considered los
ing proposition. The only recourse is to raise
the insurance rates, and this Is what will fol-
low in our own state unless some halt is put
to the increase in the number of fires.
.I understand that on Monday, October 8,
Chief Middleton of the fire department is go
ing to stage a parade of firemen, and that
uniformed members of the force will make
speeches in each of the schools of the city on
fire prevention.
"Fire prevention weeks is being celebrated
on large scale in many American cities, and
/ hope that Birmingham will do its share in
promoting movement that so vitality concerns
us all. The week from October 2 to has
been named because October 9 is the fifty-first
anniversary of the great Chicago fire disaster
of 1871"

barely passable.
''In southeast Alabama the roads are spieri:-

clay and sand, and are 30-foot beds. We, my

LETTERS TO EDITOR
HELM ON PRESS GALLERY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In reply to your articles certain news
paper men leaving press gallery, please publish
my brief speech on the subject:
Mr. President, I understand just as we'll
why the reporters for certain subsidized sheets
leave the press gallery when l go to speak
on deflation as l would If w. P. G. Harding
and those In Wall street made doubly rich by
him should leave. I appreciate this young
mans frankness in confessing that there is
understanding among some of them to
withdraw when I begin to speak on Governor
Harding and deflation. said once before
that when l commence to speak on the crime
of deflation, certain ones of them would get
up and leave, SO that if ever asked, 'Why did
you not print the story of Helms charge and
the proof that he submitted?" they would be
able to say, "Why, I was not in the press gall
lery at that time and l did not hear it." Oh,
Mr.. President, there is going to be reckoning
day in this business; 1t has started now, and it
is going through. 1t Is a strange and serious
situation, senator's when man who stands
and fights for what he knows Is right, when
the facts sustain him in every step that he
takes, and when the record which is made I'D
and written so that it can not be changed,
suppirts his position, to have smart newspaper
men sitting back, drawing big salaries misrep-
resenting him and suppressng what he says.
Mr.. President they did that to "Old Hickory
Jackson. The forbears of this same Wall
street gang had him cartooned as a donkey
in IL
sedge, but that did not deter or intimidate
him in the least. They had tried to get him
to condone their crooked conduct, and, failing
in that, they tried to discredt and destroy him.
But he triumphed and his unflinching courage
and unfaltering allegiance to the principles Of
right and justice endeared him to all of his
patriotic countrymen.
In the battle between the naughty money
lords of his day and the demands of legti-
mate business amongst the masses Old Hickory
was on the side of the people. He defied the
corrupt money power and compelled the banks
to supply the money needed to carry on the
business Of the people.
This newspaper man, Mr.. Fox said that Sem
ator Heflin said the thing in that speech he
had said many times before Let us see
whether I did not. Here is what said, sem
ators, in this speech to which he refers:
/ said that the Federal Reserve bank Of New
York, one of the ~ reserve banks, paid more
money in yearly salaries to its officials than
the government paid to the President and his
cabinet, the Vice President and all the senators,
to the speaker of the House and all the MEM
bers of the House, to the federal trade COM
mission, to the interstate commerce commits
sion, to the war finance corporation, to all the
circuit judges of the United States, to the
general of the army and the admiral of the
navy. had never said that before.
That was an interesting piece of news, but
the newspapers in question did not carry 1t TO
their readers. They did not want them to know
about it. With best wishes,
]. THOMAS HEFLIN.

MONUMENT TO PROFESSOR M'ApoRY

MONUMENT TO PROFESSOR M'ADORY.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In a recent Issue of your paper I note let
ter by Rev. George F. Boyd of Decatur, Tex,
with reference to the late Prof. /. w. Nc
Adory. He makes the excellent suggestion
that there should be monument erected to
the memory of this educator. heartily agree
with Rev. Boyd and am sure that many stu
dents and friends of Professor McAdory are
willing to join with me in such an enterprise.
However, I am wondering whether it would
be the wish of Professor McAdory himself,
that this expression take the form of marble
or granite.
Already the county board Of education has
erected the first unit of a magnificent high
school near the site of the school building
where Professor McAdory wrought mainly as
a teacher. This building cost about $4,000
and has had installed about $4,000 worth of
equipment. 1t has been named in his honor
the McAdory High school; is on the accredited
list of state high schools, and is also on the
accredited list of the Association of Colleges
and Secondary Institutions of the Southern
States. This building is already too small
for even the present enrolment of that
school. The people are engaged in putting up
a temporary structure in the yard in order to
tide over the present.
A modern high school must necessarily be
quite an institution. 1t needs much laboratory
equipment for the work. vocational work must
be provided for abundanfly, and, in truth, a
high school of today is almost on a par with
the college of % years ago.
Would it not be an excellent thing in COM
mefaoratinp the memory of Professor Nc
Adory to enlarge the usefulness, perfect the
