 "If I were a woman forced to de- pend upon my own efforts for live lihood, would first take careful in- ventory of my own physical and men tai equipment, my previous training, and my talents, if had any. I would try to get congenial work, some em- ployment where I could say, I love work

EEPROSPECTSOF
 PAYING ID SOUTH
 COTTON TAX CLAIM
Two Hundred Million Dollar Debt to Be Laid Before War Claims Committee
 of the House
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 ROO Davidaon RuildinR.

Washington, January 2S.-(Spe- cial. )-For the purpose of furthering the bill of Representative Scott, Ten nessee. republican. providing for the reimbursement of the south for cot ton taxes illegally collected in the sum of s2oo, 100000. southern repre- sentatives in Congress conferred this afternoon with William J. Bryan and H. c. White, secretary of the all- southern committee proceeding to- ward the collection of the sum total.
 As result of the adoption of reso- lution proposed by Representative Bankhead of Alabama, and sponsored by Representatives McSwain of South Carolina and Wise of Georgia, demo- cratic members of the war claims committee of the House will ask for a hearing in the immediate future be- fore that committee.
 At the meeting today it was said that there is more generous spirit existing among republicans in Con- -gress having for it's object the pay ment of this old debt which, in the judgment of all, is legal. and which only the opposition of bloody shirt" wavers in the past prevented being paid in full.
 Mir. Bryan, delivering an oration, swept the committee eff its feet and inspired it with determination to re- double It's efforts to the end that it's constituency might be paid. He Is waging a determined warfare against the entrenched opposition, and de- clares that in the end 1t will succumb to reason and justice.
 After the meeting, MT. Bryan ven tured no statement for publication, but he intimated belief that after long years, Congress had reached a conclusion that the debt was legal and honest and should be paid.
 Representatives Almon of Alabama and Upshaw of Georgia were others in attendance.

you southern people do not need the advice as do us northerners.'

CONCENTRATION OF
 COTTON SHIPMENTS
 SOUGHT BY BUREAU.
Buyers Ask L. & N. Railroad to Make Shipments From Birmingham of Cotton
 Originating Here

In the name of the Warrant Ware house company and other local cotton buying firms the traffic bureau is asking the Louisville and Nashville railway to allow concentration in Bir- minsham of cotton originating on its lines and destined to mills in the Carolinas. Other firms interested are Birmingham. Compress. Major. clea- yer & Go. Howell Cotton company. Anderson. Clayton & Go. and Bashin- sky Cotton company.
 Birmingham local buyers will sl- ~fvse that concentrating cotton nov ing to the Carolinas ia allowed on the lines of the Southern, Central of Georgia and Atlanta & West Point, notably at Atlanta and Augusta. They will allege that the Louisville and Nashville allows concentration where ultimate destination is on it's own linea- They will contend that con- centration should be allowed In Bir- ntngham where connection is made with other roads for Carolina mill consumption. Otherwise, they claim, Atlanta and Augusta have an advan- tage on cotton originating on the Louisville and Nashville and destined for Carolina points via Birmingham.
 Local congresses will hold that they lose business by not having the through rate on cotton originating on the Louisville and Nashville and stopped here for assembling and com messing purposes prior to being shipped to Carolinas.
 The matter has been formally taken up with the head offices of the Louisville and Nashville by Charles E. Jones. secretary of the traffic bureau.

Ny MIGNnN HALL

The soft whirring of the hotel ele- vator that came to palpitating halt; the thud-thud of quickly advancing feet; then two pairs of intensely brown Japanese eyes smiled their lit- tie almond smile into mine.
 Mir. and Mrs Michitaro Ongawa, if you please-among the greatest art ista in the world who are assembling on the stage the ancient beauty; the world-old traditions; the fanciful things of Japan for very modern American eyes to see.
 They are appearing this afternoon at the matinee hour at the Jefferson theatre-under the auspices of the Drama league, which it putting on an intensive drive to secure member ship and public attendance that mo- body may miss the delight of the per- formance.
 Interested in Weather
 Can you fancy what was the first thing that MT. Ongawa was aston ished about?
 That Alabama Is "so comfortable and warm" this winter. From which you can judge that he and his little mouse of wife came from frozen New York city It's their home.
 How flutteringly little is Mrs. Ongawa, who is a regular butterfly girl. She laughed softly as she told:
 American clothes are so different! Over here, a woman is not well dressed if she has not a hat, 6 cor set, stockings and shoes-and, of course-pretty gloves. In our coun- try-a woman needs none of these things. She goes barefoot. Her hair is so elaborately dressed that she doesn't need to wear a hat-and a Japanese girls belt, which is wide and very tight, answers the sam purpose as a corset. Besides 1t is Beautifully ornamental. But 1t fits like a vice!"
 Different Music
 Strains of music came up the steps of the hotel-which were not at all like the music that MT. Ongawa used to hear from the funny instru- ments of Japan when he was small boy, the son of the very first or dained Christian minister in all the Japanese empire-Ogawa Yoshiyasu, who was in charge of the Union church at Yokohama many years. MT. Ongawas youthful days were spent in the thrilling practice of the two handed sword and the long bow, he related.
 I was curious whether there was anything he felt Americans could well learn from the Japanese.
 "Yes." he smiled, though l think

signed to make this Gorgas memorial foundation more adequate financial ly.. For 10 years the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company has en- deavored in every possible way to conduct broadly humanitarian work among its employees. and to extend the influence of this work into the sections in which they have lived We have engaged men who learned the principles of sanitation and pre- vention of disease at the feet of Gen eral Gorgas. We have found out, through our own practical experience that the paAthods developed by Gen. eral Gorgas will be as effective in stamping out disease in our own state and country as they were in Panama and in Cuba and Ecuador.
 Need Trained SanItarians
 "We have learned, moreover, that there is in comparison with the need but pitifui number of trained san- itarians, health officers and nurses, who are really capable, without ex. tensive training, of meeting the health problems of our south. So 1t Is that I am eager to join in this great movement-planned not only to honor in an International and per manent manner the life and achieve ments and memory of the great Ala bamian, Gen. William Crawford Cor gas. but which will in most prac- tical way provide us, through the training school to be established at Tuscaloosa, with men and women prepared to take up the fight against dEnase in the south.
 T consider no movement ever brought to our southland of greater importance to the general public Health Is the foundation of our so- cial and economic structure. The backward, unhealthy region Is the weak link in the chain of interna- tional stability. To transform this weakest link into one as strong as all others, to face the tremendous world problem of the conquest of all disease. and to improve health con ditlons in our own state and through out the whole World, are the pur- poses of the Gorgas memorial.
 Tt will conserve natural resources in our state, now left undeveioped in many instances, and make 1t pos sible to transform these natural re- sources into the fabric of material prosperity.
 T feel that I should make my po- sition clear in the above statement. I am joining in this movement for three reasons: First. because I feel that the people of Alabama should lead the people of other states in paying merited honor to the great est humanitarian Alabama has ever produced. William Crawford Gorgas; second, because the establishment of the research and training work planned by the Gorgas Memorial in- stitute will be of untold benefit to the scientific treatment and preven- tion of disease in all parts of the world, and, third, because here in our own state will be located one of the chief divisions of the work of the memorial institute, the Gorgas School of Sanitation, turning out it's hundreds of trained young men and women each year, ready to take up the fight against disease in our own state and throughout the south--corn- ing among us with training af- forded by no other educational in- stitution in the land-prepared to conserve the health of your family and mine. These are the reasons wpy this movement has demanded and re- ceived my support"

TOO MANY LAWS
Attorney Says Half Should be Re
 pealed and Other Half Enforced

One of the greatest troubles with this country is too many laws, &C., cording to ". J. Wynn, city attor- ney. This does not only apply to the city of Birmingham but from the federal government on down to the municipalities, he declared. That fact is largely responsible for the lack of respect for the laws in his opin- ion. as people cannot respect any thing that Is continually changing.
 T have heard it stated that one session of the Alabama legislature enacted more laws than the British Parliament did in 50 years" said MT. Wynn. land we need more funda- mental laws with less detailed laws. If half of the laws were repealed and the others enforced, it would be better, for it is almost impossible for & citizen to walk down the street without violating some ordinance un- Intentionally. With so many laws, 1t is impossible to know them all and If the laws were made with an idea of permanency and not always chang ing. then people would have more re- spect for them."

nese do not understand how Euro- pean and American authors can be so prolific.
 We do things in Japan in exactly an opposite way from Americans. It's because we are on the opposite side of the world, I guess. We pull a saw instead of pushing it; sew backward; tie a knot by deft mo- tion of twists and slides, and eeono- mize motion and effort to the last notch. We do not make seams, but folds, in our dresses, and must say there is less evil thinking in Japan than any country in the world. This is a matter of national training. The people live very simply, they do not steal and they have wonderfully kind disposition"
 Mir. Angawa said that America ana Japan were growing to be much more co- operative and better friends all the time.
