ADMIRAL FULLOM !
 EXCHANGE GUEy7
Tells Club Airplane Industy in America Is Advanc-
 ing Rapidly

Development of commercial aero service in the United states depends almost entirely upon the construc- ton of proper landing facilities. ac- cording to a statement made by Rear Admiral W. E. Fullam, U. $. N, yesterday at the regular weekly luncheon of the Exchange club.
 Admiral Fullam outlined the growth of the airplane industry in America and told of it's rapid ad- vancement.
 Constituting perhaps the most vital part of commercial aero serv- ie, the landing field has not re- ceived it's proper attention" said Admiral Frllam. "The fields should be selected with as great care by the private enterprises as was shown by the government during the war"
 Lloyd w. Josselyn, director of the Birmingham public libraries, spoke in behalf of the s750,000 library bond issue and urged the support of the club.
 Judge Hugh L. Locke urged SUD- port of the members to the estab-a fishing of the Boys School of Trades and Industries at Ragland and re- ported considerable progress in the campaign for funds.

 "In the early days when I went into business. it was rather con spicuous thing to see woman in
 business at all; of course, since then -34 years ago-the times have changed; women have the vote; hum dreds and thousands are filling posi- tions that men fill and it is now con

 are not engaged in"
 Presented With Gold Watch
 In recognition of the splendid l services Mrs. Carney has given the l Hirsch Millinery company on her sil- yer anniversary (the twenty fifth anniversary the firm made her a
 present of a handsome gold watch, which she values as the most
 precious of her possessions, for 1t

 what has helped her on the road to
 success.

 Mrs Carney said when she spoke of the beautiful gift, and it only goes on to prove what | have already said
 that I have been fortunate in work ing for firm which wants me to succeed as much as 1 wanted to suc- ceed"
 "Patience. and above all things, courtesy, are the two things I would suggest after my 34 years service in business to the aspiring saleswoman.
 To look at things from the custom CTS, point of view as well as my own; and to be absolutely no respec- tor of persons. giving the girl who buys the 8 hat just as much consid-
 eration as the woman who pays $50 for her hat"
 But aren't there some rude. fm- possible metimes-whom you can't be nice to?" I inquired cu- riously.
 Those experiences have practi- cally been left out of my life" Mrs. Carney declared. With the possible exception of one customer whom I

 daughters of those brides and grand
 daughters; brides veils-then baby caps-and the lovely daughters of lovely mothers still come to me and
 depend upon me for their hats which makes me mighty happy.
 "I have never lost customer

 How woman, the right sort of
 woman. can carry her own atmos- phere with her into business, just as she can do in her social life-and l don't mean the atmosphere of sex,
 but of personality, individuality, her feeling and her sympathy and all her womanly gifts-is proven conclu- sively by the successful business ca

 T want the people of Alabama, who are interested in the conserva-

 reckless and fragrant violators, that it is seeking and invites the co-oper-
 alton of every citizen of the state,
 who wants Alabama to take the lead in the conservation of the natural ! resources of the country. I am much gratified with the whole hearted CO., operation which the department is
 receiving from private citizens, as
 well as from the Alabama Fisher ! mems and Hunters association, Bir- mingham and the Mobile Baldwin

ID SUBMIT SUIT OF STATE AGAINST
 UTILITY COMPANY
Alabama Claims $914,000 as Penalty From Western Union Telegraph-CaSe
 to Come Up Today
By FRED II. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Herald, s21-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. May 1O.-(SpeciaD --Alabamas suit against the Western Union Telegraph company for s914,- GOO for discontinulng service to twenty one towns on the branch lines of the Louisville and Nashville rall- road will be submitted to the supreme court Thursday. Work on the brief of the state was completed Wednes- day afternoon by Lamar Field, assist ant attorney general.
 In this suit the state is seeking to collect a penalty provided by law for the failure of this public utility to render service after being directed to do so by the public service com- mission. Following long litigation. the Western Union was forced to get off the right of way of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad on the branch lines. Instead of erecting its poles and wires at another point it disposed of them to the railroad as junk and abandoned the service.
 The attorney general contends that the big issue Is whether the cor porations are bigger than the state, or the state Is bigger than the corr porations and that if this action of the Western Union telegraph company is sustained by the supreme court it will be within the power of the com pany to abandon service in Alabama entirely and leave the people with out telegraphic communication at , those points where the Western Union now maintains an exclusive service.
 The state lost the case in the cir cult court of Montgomery county when the trial judge sustained de- merrers interposed by the defense
 A companion measure brought by the Public Service Commission for a writ of mandamus requiring the tele- graph company to re-establish ser vice to the towns likewise was lost by the state and will be submitted to the supreme court at the same time on appeal from the Montgomery cir cult court,

Fly DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Thirty-four years saleswoman with the same firm and-a point of view; point of view so refreshing that 1t made me sum up the entire situation in the one little old word much abused but "an ever present help In time of trouble" personal ity."
 Personality" as applied both to the saleswoman and to the firm for which she has worked 34 long years.
 The woman needs no introduction 10 Birmingham because she is known to thousands, Mrs. Annie Viso Car ncy and the firm needs less intro- duction, the Hirsch Millinery company which is part and parcel of the great growth and upbuilding of Greater Birmingham.
 Personality" as I said before, that magic quality or attribute, what you will-against which the highest bar riers built by custom and caste, city crush and commereialism and all the systematizing and institutionalizing Is unava;ling-that is the secret of the point of view" which crowns a life of successful business dealings with Mrs. Carney-who is known and beloved by thousands In this city ana state as Miss Annie"
 Miss Annie" has since her first early days of business life-when, as d brown-eyed, black haired, slender girl. she stepped out into the big bus mess world to make her way along side of lots of men-for few women tat that time) had entered the busi- ness world-and she has consistently and systematically "smled"-in the face of obstacles-in the face of diff ficglties-and moreover with this smile has gone a perfect control of self. realizing as she does, that bad tempered people whether customer or saleswoman-spoils what otherwise might be mighty good sale.
 Public and Employers
 What do owe my 34 years of sue cessful business life to?" Mrs. Carney repeated the question after me yes- terday when I was chatting with her about new spring bonnets and people and careers" Why first of all. to my wonderful public and my more wonderful employers. I have been happy in my work; I have had the the very first day I stepped into the Hirsch Millinery company. Women of fashion as we'll as the humber types have been my customers and my friends-and to their unwavering loyalty I owe whatever has come to me In the way of success.
 My employers have been appre- ciative of my efforts too; they have
