HOUSEWIVES EXPOSITION
 OPENS TOMORROW

The housewives exposition opens tomorrow morning. It has been arranged by the League of Women Voters in order that the women of the district-those who do the buying for the family-may see what is made in Birmingham.
 An attractive feature of this exhibit has been the interest of the school children in drawing and painting posters ealing atten- tion to the different products and the brands under which they are made and sold. The youngsters have had their first lesson in what it means to patronize the home producer and add to Birmingham pay rolls.
 It is to be regretted that Birmingham had no exposition hall large enough for an adequate display of home products and general par ticipation by the home producers. But what will be shown this week will be the forerunner of greater expositions to be held hereafter.
 Back of the women and children who have lent their enthusiasm to the cause of home products are the Birmingham men who have invested their money in factories and estab- lished pay rolls.

sABREs AN ASSET

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your editorial in Fridays Age Herald and Captain Carter's recent letter regarding the Birmingham Sabres, brings home to us the im- portance of national guard units as an arm of our national defense. It would seem that quite distinction has been made in the Sabres' appointment, as they are one of two headquarters cavalry troops.
 Captain Carter touches sore spot when he mentions Atlanta and Birmingham in the same paragraph. Atlanta has housed her troops, and it is only an ordinary outfit while Birmingham, favored with a ranking organization, twill al- low "Squeedunk,.. as the captain puts it, to take it.
 The members of the Sabres are working for practically nothing in all kinds of weather to perfect an organization which will serve Birmingham, the state and the nation to an advantage, and if necessary will give their lives to do so, and it would seem as if an or ganization of this kind should be taken care of and proper housing facilities given.
 Their troop with it's equipment is distinct asset ot our city, and the writer believes it is up to Birmingham to do something about it. Yours very truly, L. J. SMITH.
 Birmingham, February 25, 1922.

WHISHT O. NIGHT

Martha Haskell Clark, in the Independent and the Weekly Review. Sure I'm achn to be maxim through the path
 across the moor, With the upland curlews cryin', and the wind
 blowin' keen and pure, The mountain black behind me, and the bog
 trail dippn' down, And the whsht O night a-fallin' on wee
 matched town. There's. bit of gray lake water that is talkin'
 to the shore, There's a tiny gow-worm glimmer through
 each wide-flung cottage door; There's the smell O bog-peat burnin where
 a twilight kettle sings, And the whisht O night a-droppin' like night
 moths wings. Oh, I'm wearin to be farin' down path across
 the sea, With the mountains black behind me, and
 the brackened moorland free; The bog mist hangin' banshee-white above the
 upland farms, And the whisht O night a-foldin like mothers

CHAPLAIN FINDS SOLDIERS
LEAN TO RELIGIOUS WORK
Col. John T. Axton Says Posts Are
~ Barometers Of Social Life in
Their Communities,

Army posts are "barometers of the
social life of communities" near
which they lie and inspection of more
than two-score western posts shows
that "the morale Of officers and
soldiers is improving steadily" Col.
John T. Axton, chief of chaplains of
the Army, reported today on his re-
turn to Washington from an inspec-
ton trip.
Clergy of the communities about
the posts are cooperating with the
Army chaplains, Col. Axton said, and
spiritual results unthought of a few
years ago are being accomplished by
such united ministerial efforts"
But the most noteworthy change
in the moral progress of the Army"
the chief chaplain added, "is the ac-
tive and wholehearted cooperation
of the commanding officers with
chaplains. There is deeper and bet
ter appreciation of the Importance of
religious work among soldiers and
of the high place which spiritual in
fluence has in the development of
character
Col. Axton said he observed much
anxiety throughout the Army centers
he visited, due to the discussion in
Washington for further radical re-
ductions of the Army.
1.-The only marring cloud on the
otherwise, cheering horizon" he said
Of his trip, was the very depressing
effect of the prospect of such radical
reduction in the size of the Army as
will diminish its efficiency"

SAYS LABOR CONDITIONS
WILL RUIN PANAMA CANAL
Employees Representative Predicts
Harm if Executive Order Is
Enforced,

Unless Congress acts to restore the
conditions Of employment existing up
to January /. 1922. as specified in a
bill introduced in the House Of
Representatives by Representative
Cooper of Ohio last Tuesday, the ruin
of the Panama Canal Zone was pre-
dicted in statement issued today by
William c. flushing, a member Of the
Panama canal complaints board. who
will represent the canal employees at
the hearings on the bill.
Changes in the employment condi-
tions, according to Mr.. flushing. were
made by executive . order s as the s.d;e; re-
Panama Canal Commission, which
spent a month investigating the canal
in the summer of 1921. Strenuous
opposition to the commissions recon-
mendations has come from the en-
ployes. according to Mr.. flushing:
Gov. Morrow informed Secretary Of
War Weeks that adoption Of these
recommendations at once and in toto
would ruin the canal"
"a hating, limping service.
Wholesale desertion Of highly expert
employees and damage bills to an in
calculable extent" are among the re-
suits ascribed to the adoption of the
recommendations by Gov. Morrow, Mr..
Hushing said.
American employees maintain that
they were selected for the service by
vigorous physical and mental tests.
and that they were induced to enter
tropical service by the customary
Is per cent dinferential in wages and
free quarters, light, fuel and santa
ton. Service in the tropics entailed
from twenty to thirty days cumulative
leave each year and twenty-four days
annual leave. with seven days travel
time to enable an employe to return
to the United States periodically to
recuperate his health.
