C0RRIS MEETS REALTORS
Tells of Work in Blind Prevention.
 Torrens System Discussed

"The Torrens System of Public Records was the subject of an ad- dress by J. K. Brockman before mem bers of the Birmingham Real Estate board at their regular weekly lunch con held yesterday in the private dining room of the Tutwiler.
 The discussion. which started last week. of the Torrens System, has created an unusual amount of inter est among the members, some of whom see in the system an immediate relief for the real estate market. while others are said to express doubt about its adaptability to the constitution of the state.
 '"The Torrens System.' said MT. Brockman, twas started in Austria by Robert Torrens in 1857. It has been tried in several of the states. but without success. and I cannot see whereby we can change from our present form of record keeping to that of the Torrens system and still conform to the constitution of the state"
 Another speaker at the meeting was Dr. Lewis H. Carris, field sec- retary of the national committee for the prevention of blindness
 Dr. Carris spoke on the work his organization is doing throughout Alabama and the country for the treatment and prevention of blind ness. He strongly advocated the em- ployment, whenever possible of the blind

visitor who herself has been a lifa insurance woman for more than 20 years with the Massachusetts com- pany.
 Few Women Buyers
 Mrs. Forrest told how, In the north, even women in little cross country sections. owned insurance policies. Down here insurance for women Is practically an untouched field. MT. Hughes made the statement that there was not now enough women's policy business in Birmingham to keep even one life insurance woman busy.
 This is deplorable," Mrs. Hawkins stressed.
 Every woman, surely, has some loved one or dependents she would like to see protected following her death. Many times there are debts to be taken care of. Insurance will put a roof over the head of father mother or brother. 1t will set some member of the family up in business. It will pay funeral expenses. There is no excuse for every working womans not carrying some form of insurance"
 Mrs. Hawkins is particularly in- terested in endowment policies for women. If payments are made for 10 or Is years a woman can be as- sured of funds to take care of her in her old age.
 This successful business woman Is interesting from another angle. She

 The motor used had been run 5000 miles or more with oildag and was carefully inspected by an enthusiastic crowd which gathered to witness the beginning of the test. Oil pipes were disconnected and the crank case en- tirely drained. the drain plug of which was left out during the entire run. A test was made of the gaso- line also to be sure that it contained no lubricant.
 Upon completion of tn. run, the motor was found to be in as good condition as at the start. no excess heat having been generated. The mo- tor operated prefectly throughout the entire run. Bearings and pistons had not been damaged by heat or lack of fabrication.

thing that had helped her to tackle and get through the hard days and the hard problems.
 Here is the principle she thinks will bring results in business-spell "ac- complishment":
 "Stick to your duty, and pay tho closest attention to your work"
 Next to this she emphasizes con tinual. perpetual, everlasting, regen- erating. effervescent courtesy-cour- tesy that means kindliness, interest, sympathy--a willingness to be put to trouble. "The prettiest thing in the world to get or to give" she said, 'is service. I like it, you like 1t; we all need it from one another to make life happy" She particularly expressed her deep regard for her firm members.
 "No men," she said, "could have been more helpful, conslderate or kindly"
 That Mrs. Hawkins believes in her own calling is emphasized by the fact that she is carrying all the life insurance possible. She believes that all women should have policies the same as men, and because there are so few women in the city who are insurance owners she is planning shortly 10 take Hp policy writing en- tirely. She was encouraged in this latterly by Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest national president of the Business and Professional Women's club. a

has never forgotten how children feel, and has always had this idea:
 T will stay young for my children"
 The Need
 Thus, when he youngsters would have thoughtlessly detained her at home when there was a good picture show or an entertainment worth while. she would say:
 You must let me go because I am your mother and must fill my mind and heart with things to teach you. I must also keep young and up-to- date so that when you grow up will not feel that mother Is old fogy."
 This gained the youngsters con sent evry time.
 Thus, even now, though Mrs. flaw kins' eldest girl is at Montevallo and her boy at Bellbuckle college Tenn. she is still their natural leader, com panion, and confidant. She knows what is going on In the world even better than they, and can guide their steps efficiently.
 1T got along all right with my girls" laughed Mrs. Hawkins, "but I admit if was bit trying with my boy. I could understand the thrill girls got out of dolls. because I could rememDer my own DaOy sensations, but I could not get up enthusiasm about ball playing. boxing, or other manly athletics, nor understand how young chaps liked to get themselves all muddy and bedraggled. Still I was patient with the thought that my boy got the same exhilaration from these terrific pleasures I had experienced from playing house"
 Conditions Will Improve
 Mrs. Hawkins is delighted to see women taking their places along side of men in this world, and says she believes that after women have been in politics few years conditions will be improved. She Is very much ~in favor of the Business and Profession al Women's club.
 'It's wonderful to have a place like that where one can go and come in contact with the brilliant minds of other women. You can't come away without new thoughts, new ideals, Such a club and such mingling will keep woman from being narrow, and narrowness Is a thing women are too often accused of.
 "It's impossible for human beings not to become narrow if they shut themselves into their own little cir cles. They must receive inspiration from the great outside world"

 Grit!
 Around about 12 years ago. life darkened for Mrs. Hawkins. Her hus- band fell tll-became an invalid. With three young children, one two years old, another and another 8, Mrs. Hawkins knew it must be she who must take up the burden where the father had been compelled to lay 1t down.
 Took Course
 Mrs. Hawkins was untrained for filling position in the outside world.
 What could she do?
 A business course was the quick est road, and so she enrolled in a local college. Her husband, dying short time afterwards, she went out to work with a real estate firm. Af- ter this, she held various positions, but always kept the idea in her mind that she must rise as rapidly as she could, and begin to make more money in order to take care of the children as their needs grew greater. She was careful never to make a change except to better herself. She could not afford to.
 Finally she entered the business of unlimited possibllitles-Life insur ance.

 "We think so much of her" he said, that we do everything We can for her. Not only is she fulfilling her duty as an employe. but she is car rying her home responsibilities with a courageousness of which few per. sons are capable.
 We think here that the great secret of her success in transacting business is her sense of humor She has the ability to make anybody feel at home and can dispel a case of blues right away. She can put up splendid argument. interspersed with characteristic. brilliant dashes of fun that will just about win her her point every time"
