STUDENTS Y. w. G.. A.
CONFERENCE AT
EACLESMERE. PA,
By Josephine Nj. Burnett

Perhaps the addresses were the
most inspiring part of the conference.
DR.. Hugh Gordon Ross, of Pittsfeld,
Massachusetts, gave very interesting
talks on "God in the Experience of
Men," He talked on such subjects as
"God," "The Church of Jesus" "Je-
sus," "Salvation," "The Relation Be-
tween Faith and Belief" and "The
Study of the Bible" These addresses
were always preceded by student dis
cussions. By this previous study, we
were able to appreciate DR.. Ross's
subject far better and get deeper
meaning and thought from what he
said. DR.. Oscar M. Buck, of Drew
Theological Seminary, Madison, New
Jersey, gave US very appealing and
interesting talks on Christian Inter-
nationalism." His talks were devoted
to the problems of Japan, China, In
dia, The Great Mohammedan World,
and Africa. | think, that after hear
ing these addresses, every girl felt
that it was her duty to take her knowl-
edge of God to some foreign field of
cher world if it were at all possible
At the technical councils, we re-
ceived a more direct benefit. From
the stories of things accomplished at
other colleges and from the sugges-
tons of our leaders, we all found
some good ideas which we hope will
better our association next year
These councils were attended by the
following delegates from the Wom-
ems College.

LATE E. G. CHANDLER A BELOVED CITIZEN

Birmingham mourns the death of E. C.. Nige) Chandler. pioneer citizen and a successful business man, he was more than that. He had sunny nature that made him welcome in every household and in every office His friendships extended from the lowest to the highest. In business circles, in social life and in his church relations affection followed him, for he loved his fellow man.
 MT. Chandler scattered smiles up and down Jones valley and in high and humble places in to this community in spreading optimism and goodwill. Many will miss that whole-souled and kindly gentleman.

NEW MAGAZINE ESTABLISHED
 IN ALABAMA

Clifford w. Parke, a widely known planter of Selma, has made . great success of his magazine, Free Lance," the second issue of which has just appeared. MT. Parke is force ful, vigorous writer, who has contributed articles on subjects of general interest to the state papers for . number of years. As the name of his magazine indicates, it is largely devoted to satiring follies of the day, with considerable emphasis laid on prohibition, which MT. Parke has long opposed.
 "Free Lance" was launched chiefly for MT. Parke's own amusement and that of his friends, although there were number of matters he wished to get before the public in his charac- teristic style but the first edition was quickly exhausted and the demand for the second issue indicates that the magazine will be perma- nent institution The literary flavor of Free Lance" it's humor and unsparng denunciation of weaknesses in American life, including buncombe, hypocrisy and intolerance, have at- tracted many readers
 The cover design for the August-September issue was drawn by Spangler, cartoonist of the Montgomery Advertiser, and is one of MT. Spangler's cleverest pieces of work.

< < BIRMINGHAM PRODUCING AT 100 PER CENT

With the mine strike four months and two weeks old and the rail strike six weeks old, ] the Birmingham district has not been com pelled to curtail production in any of it's plants. Such conditions exist nowhere else in the country.
 Alabama Is now mining more coal than in many years and at rate equal to the greatest pace ever set. Indications point to a still greater production and the making of new high levels. While in January this state fur in the week ending July 2s, the last heard from, it furnished S.s per cent of the total. Production now is 100 per cent more than at this time last year.
 Birmingham blast furnaces owe much to the tremendous tonnage being melted in south ern iron-consuming plants. Our pig iron is temporarily shut off from the north and mfd- dle west, except that going by river, and but for the large increase in southern consumption, many blast furnaces would ere this have banked their fires. Delivery to iron consumers in the south is practically switching affair, hence under almost any kind of car shortage the southern consumer can get his iron. The effect of the districts ability to go forward while other steel and iron sections curtail operations or shut up shop is cumulative. Numbers of industries are knocking at Bir- mingha's door now and more will follow as the districts advantages are realized

PAUL COOK.
POST MORTEMS

(By an Ex-Candidate, as It Might Be Written) From the DeKalb County Herald.
 Yes, lost the nomination, but I'm glad I made the race. All my life I can look back to the time was candidate and point with pride to some of the things did and to the things l learned I am not referring to the vote polled let's forget that side. Here's what 1 mean: I shook hands 45,OOO times, cut five cords of stove wood for the farm wife, churned at least 40 times killed five chickens with my car, set tied three dog fights, led five singngs, donated to several schools, had three car wrecks, kissed 110 babies, passed judgment on five horses, the fighting qualities of two game chickens, agreed that two mangy cur dogs were blooded stock and complmented dozen old maids on their youthful appearance. also made the acquaint- ance of several hundred fine citizens who, though they failed to vote for me- are my friends. I saw one of the best counties in the state and though was not studying scenery, was forced to observe some of the prettiest mountain scenes the eye has ever met. I also have better knowledge of human nature, which will be big asset to me in the future.
 Pm glad I ran--it was worth all it cost even to the bitter pill of defeat that I swaE lowed.

PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL
 MEASURES WIN

The large majorities given J. D. Moore and Dr. Cunningham Wilson in the primary cleo tion are a tribute to the progressive admins tration of the county board of education during the six years of MT. Moores incumbency. The county schools made more progress in that period in many respects than ever before.
 MT. Moore was reelected because his re- election meant continuance of wise ad ministration and Dr. Wilson was elected be- cause he indorsed Mr. Moores policies. m this matter the voters of Jefferson county arose above group influences and partisan poli- tics. They have proved that their schools are beyond the ordinary considerations which enter into choice of candidates for office. In voting for Mr. Moore and Mr. Wilson they voted for principle.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
COMMISSION INDoRsED
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Much has been said about our city form of government and more has been said about our present commission.
 The results of the recent election show that the candidates who ran on platform to abolish the commission form of govern ment were overwhelmingly defeated and to me this seems an indorsement of the present form of government, although it may not meet the approval of disgruntled and dis appointed office seekers.
 The present commissioners have been handi- capped in every way-the grand jury has failed to put them out, the people in the recent election declined to put them out. and as every other means has failed. let's get together and try something that We have not tried before. Isn't it high time that all good citizens should get behind and cooperate with the present commissioners and try 60 build a bigger, better and buster Birming- ham? Yours very truly,

FLORIDA ENTERING SUGAR
 MILL BUSINESS

The sugar trade and American manufac- turers of sugar house machinery will watch with interest the sugar cane raising and grind ing enterprise now under way in the Florida Everglades. The Pennsylvania Sugar com pany of Philadelphia is building s1,0oo,0O0 grinding mill of 1000 tons per day capacity 3,200 acres of sugar cane have been planted and the cane is being cultivated. Connections for shipping have been made at Miami, which is not far from the scene of operations.
 There has been some skepticism in regard to the Florida undertaking, but it seems to have
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-08-13

no very sound basis, other than the fact that sugar has not been produced in that section heretofore. On the other hand, the Everglades of Florida should have approximately the same climate as Cuba, and it is certainly similar to the climate of Louisiana where American cane flourishes.
 Birmingham is interested because this is a sugar house machinery center and it will profit from the establishment of a sugar industry in Florida. Florida has sprung many surprises on the country in the past two decades. One of them was the development of dairying and stock raising. Tn esoil of the reclaimed Ever glades has superior for richness anywhere. Florida may eventually have substantial sugar industry.

FRIENDSHIP
V York Herald.

From the New York Herald. Call me thy friend. Love is fairer word But friendship hath the vital ring of truth; Love moves the heart but what calm depths
 are stirred By friendship none may fully tell. Since
 youth
 Nor age may count the candles of the sky Nor measure one by one the gleaming sands So friendship is at once thing so high As to exceed all limits, all demands. Call me thy friend--I would go forth to meet Life's battles with the shield of perfect trust Who keeps his brothers faith may scorn de-
 feat tts.+tsf And rise triumphant from the very dust; Fearless to live-and when life's day snal
 end
 Fearless to die. Call me but this: thy friend.

 Rachel's answers were often witty. She had the knack of giving her most tactful replies to people and making them feel at ease. Racheps great rival on the stage was gifted actress by the name of Ristori Ristori came to Paris and played some of the roles which Rachel played.
 Rachel went to visit some of the performa- ances. Afterward the two actresses met Ris- toria was speaking to her manager in Rachel's presence. She was very much chagrined as she remarked:
 Rachel never applauded me oncew

 "The county expects to obtain five more trucks soon from the state highway depart ment They will be brought up from Mont gomery.
