LETTERS TO EDITOR
MANY FAVORABLE COMMENTS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 have heard many favorable comments upon the publication by your paper of that which J. D. Moore, chairman of the county board of education, had to say before the Rotary club at it's meeting on Wednesday last, bringing to the attention of that organization the workings of this board and it's accomplishments during the past six years
 Generally speaking, we all interested in education, but many of us do not give that con- sideraton to it as the importance of education justifies or demands. think he strikes the key note when he says, If we are to practice the doctrine of service, find out who represents you the board of education and see if they represent your views, and if they are putting earnest and conscientious service into their work. If they are doing right, encourage them i; if not find some others who will and thus YOU will have rendered your city, county and state a great service. Here is an opportunity to do constructive work that will have lasting and beneficial effect upon your future citizens and upon the government" This clear-cut state ment should impress itself upon the minds of the people of this county who are interested in the education of its children and their full sup port should be had through the county board of education in their efforts to bring the county schools up to that standard of efficiency that will be second to none in any county of this state or other states Yours very truly,
 W. W. BuSSEY,.

CONGRESS FACING BITTER FIGHT
 OVER MUSCLE SHOALS

The Gorgas steam plant is now the only ob- stace to acceptance of Henry Ford's bid for thes Muscle Shoals plants. Two developments may be confidently expected. Work on Will son dam will be continued under appropria- tion of $7,500,o0O and there will be warm fight in Congress oyer the Gorgas plant.
 All other offers have been eliminated. It was evident from the start that Mir. Ford's pro posal was the only one worthy of serious con- sideration. One by one questions raised by members of Congress have been met by the Detroit manufacturer. He has so modified his terms, the latest being the guaranteed produc- tion of fixed amount of fertilizer to be sold at a nominal profit to the farmers of America, that nothing remains to be done but to settle the controversy over the Gorgas plant.
 The Housce military affairs committee has tentatively approved the Ford bid, but elimi- mated the Gorgas property, on which the Ala bama. Power company claims an option. After negotiations lasting for more than year, in which politics and sectional prejudice have played part the Muscle Shoals problem has at last reached the stage for open debate. It is destined to have thorough airing in Congress.
 Since Mir. Ford has issued virtual ultima tum and declares that the Gorgas plant is in- dispensable for the development he proposes at Muscle Shoals, the decision reached in Con gress on this part of his bid will determine whether or not Muscle Shoals will be leased to MT Ford.
 Republicans who formerly wanted to scrap Muscle Shoals have been converted Practi- caly everybody, in and out of public life, con- cedes that the property is great asset to the nation, and must be conserved Yet, Henry Ford is the only captain of industry in the country who seems willing to meet the govern ment more than half way in disposing of it.
 In the event that the Ford offer is rejected, and no compromise can be reached in regard to the Gorgas plant, the government may be com pelled to complete and operate the Muscle Shoals project. There doesn't seem to be any other way out of the difficulty. It would be an economic crime to abandon property that cost $1o0,0o0, 900 and forego the tremendous opportunities for industrial expansion which lie at Muscle Shoals.

RECORD PRODUCTION SEEMS
 JUST AHEAD

The barometer of the district, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, gave an ex- celentA account of itself in May. Production records were broken by seven of it's plant The output of steel was the greatest in it's history, being 5000 tons in excess of the prior high record of March this year, and within frac tion of 100000 tons. This is at the rate of 100000 tons per annum.
 New high records were also made by Alice furnace, No. furnace at Ensley, the Edge and one of the dolomite quarries These pro- duction records stand for the employment of men and the wages they earn, which, in turn, come into the stores of Birmingham.
 As with the Tennessee company, so it IS with lesser industries. The cast iron pipe mar ket, which was brisk last fall, is brisker now Orders like 5000 tons for Atlanta, 4,ooo tons for Honolulu, 5000 tons for Akron, O., and 2,5Oo for Paris, Tex, quickly piled up huge total, even for producer with four southern plants
 Related house and factory building has called for extraordinary production of sanitary pipe Two stove, range and furnace plants are on full turn and shipping by carloads east, west north and south.
 With little more blast furnace resumption which demand seems to render imminent, there will be new records there. Merchants sense the bigger pay rolls.
 Bank clearings have broken records. The highest tide in the industrial history of the district seems on the eve of rushing in.

DEATH SENTENCE IMPOSED ON
 WOMAN IN GEORGIA

A Georgia jury, after delberating only two hours, declared Georgia woman guilty of mur- dering her husband. No recommendation for mercy was made and the verdict carries the death penalty. The solicitor general prosecut- ing the woman asked for life sentence.
 Cheap sentimentality and mistaken ideas of chivalry did not sway the jury in this case. Far too often in this country women slayers are set at liberty after farcical trials, in which crafty lawyers play on the sympathies of jurors and defeat justice. Only one woman, it is said has ever been legally executed in Georgia, and the fact that the verdict was returned in a southern state, where women are usually given the benefit of the doubt when they are charged with crime, makes it all the more remarkable.
 :. There are honest differences of opinion over capital punishment but if we are going to hang men for murder strict justice requires that the same punishment be given to women when they are proved guilty after fair and im- partial trial. The law certainly makes no dis tinction in the sexes. The fact that hundreds of women have committed murder with i'm punity is due to the weakness of jurors and not to any defect in the criminal statutes.
 z Not many men serving on jury could be willing to send woman to the gallows. Re- sardless of the law, they feel an instinctive re- yngnance to that form of punishment for

MOVING PICTURE, WEEK

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Permit me to express myself on behalf of the Movie Week committee, their genuine ap- preciation of the splendid cooperation of your good paper in putting over this celebration. In appralsing the results of Movie Week it is the consensus of opinion that it was a very worth while effort. By focusing the public mind upon the main purpose of the celebration. namely. to stimulate wider appreciation of the truly artistic screen productions, believe the ex- hbitors will now have more encouragement to bring to Birmingham the best pictures avail able. Moreover, as all the principal producers ot America had their eyes upon Birmingham during this week and witnessed universal interest In the one or more dramatic master pieces presented during the celebration, those who created the films will no doubt have a greater incentive to adopt the higher standards of art, to make the pictures more wholesome and thus engender a greater respect for the industry among the righteous people of the United States. Yours very truly,
 CHARLES L. HAROLD, Chairman.

 NATIONAL MAGAZINE ISSUED BY THE ELKS

The Elks Magazine, published under the di- rection of the Elks national memorial head quarters committee, begins what promises to be a useful career with circulation of $50 ,000.
 Few publications have such an suspicious start and fewer still are assured of such loyal patronage. The Elks have way of making success of whatever they undertake and their new magazine, handsomely printed, edited by competent hands and filled with entertaining reading matter, will be of interest, not only to the "Best People on Earth" but to the general public. While much attention is nat uraliy devoted to the activities of the Elks the best fiction and other special articles will make the magazine widely read.
 Among the contributors to the first issue are Charles M. Schwab, Ben Ames Williams AL bert Payson Terhune, William Almon Wolff and others Quoting from a foreword, 'It is not to be mere bulletin or calendar of events, but vigorous, high-class, literary and fraternal journal, to contain matters of interest and in- formation to all the members of an Elk house. hold"
 The Elks magazine represents a splendid or ganization which has thrived amazingly during it's 54 years of existence.

 AND ELSEWHERE
LITTLE CHANGE IN TEACHING STAFF

"our teaching staff for the coming term in the county schools will be very little changed from last year," said Dr. N. R. Baker, county superintendent of education This means less work for the superintendent and county board of education and means better service in the schools
 "It has been my experience that teacher can render better service the second year than he can the first year, conditions being the same. We have above the average of school facilities in the county, and teachers who have worked elsewhere in the state appreciate this fact. Opportunities are also offered here in the extension courses for a teacher to study for degrees and professional advancement while he is working"

REALLY RAINS IN TEXAS

Indications are now that Texas will have a short cotton crop owing to ineessant rains, " said John T. Egan director. agricultural agent of Texas, who in company with local farm demonstrators, have been making survey of conditions in Jefferson and surrounding coup- ties.
 Some of the banner cotton counties like Ellis county have bee@hard hit by rains. Added to this Encouragement the farmers are faced by the prospects of more boil weeyils, because such pests thrive In wet weather All of this ac- counts for the low percentage given for the condition of the Texas cotton crop by the last government report"

MORE ABSORBING
 THAN WAR
From the San .Antonio Express.

Shanghai is a Chinese city, but it's inhabi- tants are concerned with business more than with politics or war. The important foreign concessions just outside the native city const- ute neutral ground where all may meet on equal footing.
 The cotton piece goods auctions there long have attracted Yangtse valley merchants; but the recent military operations caused their sus- pension. General Wus victory oyer both op- ponents-the Manchurian war lord, Chang, and Honan provinees misled govefnor-has restored confidence throughout central China. Cotton goods buyers again are journeyng to Shanghai and the Bund soon will be crowded with enter prising merchants from the eight provinces commercially tributary to this great city near the Yangtse's mouth.
 Although cotton mills constantly are increas- ing throughout China, they cannot supply the demand for their cloth. Ameriean British, German and Japanese exporters are eontending for the market The Tokio government has an- nounced that it's garrison at Hankow the great est Yangtse port save Shanghai will be with drawn. Although this move complies with the Washington conference understanding, it will help remove the prejudice which Chinese have felt against Japan. If that feeling. abates, the 0uHuSoS VIII uuy odpdilSSS SObIOH 1AOOiy1 DIV vded the price and quality correspond. It be- hooves American exporters to watch that mar kets developments and act promptly.
 Raw cotton finds some Chinese buyers, but must compete with the native product. The latter, however, is of limited quantity and only fair quality. Other American commodities which China is buying are lumber, oil, nails, building steel and some industrial equipment, o+of The lumber is largely Douglas fir, better known in China as Oregon pine, it's trade name. Shang- hai is importing about 7000,000 board feet monthly and Yeritable building boom is re- ported from many parts of the Yangtse valley.
 If Chinese moderates have their way, all their country soon will unite under the restored Par liament. General Wu favors their plan, which would eliminate both President Hau and Dr. Sun from political leadership. Wu disclaims poit- ical ambition and reiterates his readiness to retire from public life when peace is assured. He is observing the situation in northern Man. churia, where soldiers and people declare against Chang Tso-lin and offer him their al- legiance. If he accepts he must hurry well- disciplined troops to guard the Chinese Eastern railroad -Russian-owned property-and garri-s son cities like Harbin and Agun. Wu cannot afford to let Japan increase it's Manchurian railroad guard at this critical stage; it would shatter his prestige and help Chang Tso-lin ac- cordingly.
 Meanwhile, crowded central China is letting the politicians and warriors worry while it lis- tens to commerce roar along the Yangtse river. This is the fray" which interests exporters, and our business men in China far more than political maneuvers in either Picking or Canton. It indicates that conditions growing bet ter; that the long trade depression is nearing an end.

DAWN WIND

F. ", in the New York Tribune. The lights fade, one by one, From the somber cliffs of the houses; The tides of the midnight run Smooth through the empty street; The roar of the traffic dies And the feverish city drowses, Waiting with half-elosed eyes The sound of her flying feet. Bright in the eastern sky
 The lamps of the dawn are burning, And, To, she is passing by, Wistful and all alone!
 Out of the shadows deep
 She comes, like a pilgrim returning. So, while her children sleep, The west wind calls for her own. Tender and cool are the hands She lays on the brow of the city. Fragrance from open lands, Where mist and the moonbeam dwell, Follows her as she passes Smiling with infinite pity. Blossoms and new-mown grasses Conquer the city's smell. The shades at the windows stir, And the dusty street trees shiver, Whispering soft of her; And some of us dream again Of free sky, thick with Ntars That shine on tranquil river; Of cows at the pasture bars And the voice Sf the summer rain.
