TEX Tile MILLS
WILL OPEN 1T
FORMER WAGE

New York, Aug. 29.-Tens Of
thousands Of textile operatives in
New England will be back at their
looms next Tuesday. The majority
Of them will be drawing the pay
they received last spring before a
20 per cent reduction caused one Of
the longest drawn out strikes in the
history Of textile industries. The
widespread resumption Of work on
that date will offer another and
convincing indication that the per
iod Of defiation of labor costs
throughout the entire country is
past and that a period of price ad-
vances Of manufactured articles is
at hand.
The entire complexion Of the
New England textile labor situa-
ton has changed following the offer
Of the Pacific Mills Corporation OF
Lawrence, Mass, to rescind the 20
per cent wage cut, announced
March q Of this year. This be-
came apparent today through tele-
graphic dispatches received within
the last y hours from unbiased OBJ
servers in close touch with the
situation. The Monomac, Katama,
Acadia and Everett mills Of Law
renee have followed the lead OF
their large competitor, the United
Textile Workers and several afil-
lated bodies have voted to accept the
manufacturers offer and the mills
Of Lawrence again will be on the
old wage basis.
Elsewhere in Massachusetts,. in
New Hampshire and Rhode Island
the wage cut SO far has been main
tanned with very slow but steady
gain in operatives. However. the
view is held that because OF the
prominent position Of the Lawrence
mills their action will be followed
elsewhere and the days OF the New
f; England textile strike which has
separated over $4,000 workers from
their pay checks, are numbered.
Steel Credited.
/ Many we'll informed business
men of New England today attrib-
uted the change in sentiment to the
inspiration furnished by the wage
advance Of the United States Steel
Corporation. Undoubtedly, how
ever. a more correct view is thai
similar conditions produced similar
results in the two industries.
Perhaps the most potent factor in
bringing about those conditions was
THE building industry which "said
nothing but sawed wood" Build
ing construction has been ex'
tremely active both in New England
and elsewhere. There was short

men commanded high wages. Hun
drads of textile workers became
builders over night. One way o.
getting them back was to increast
wages. This outline Of the situa-

ton was verified today by Mem-
her of one Of the most influential
houses in the country.
When the supply Of workers IN .
given industry begins to run low,
there follows the process Of bid
ding for the workers OF someone
else and labor is worth what it will
bring in the open market. II seems
clear from recent events that wage
costs are to rise during the next
few months unless production Is in
terfered with too seriously by fuel
and transportation difficulties
Higher living costs are forecast by
higher fuel prices. increased nous
ing costs and advances in the price
levels OF manufactured goods. And
wages normally follow living costs
both upward and downward.
AS regards the cotton textile sit
uation the manufacturers have come
to the conclusion that the price
movement for their products will
be steadily upward, the swing gain
ing momentum as the year draws
to close. They have abandoned
hope that raw cotton will drop be-
low the 20 cent level, and it is a
known fact that dealers need cot
ton goods. The time is rapidly ap-
preaching when wholesalers and
retailers must replenish their
stocks.
This view is strengthened by the
increase in purchasing power of the
country which points directly to IN
creased consumption of cotton
cloth. The domestic market will be
augmented by foreign demand, es-
pecially from South America and
the orient which is increasing
steadily.
The loss of production Of cotton
goods up to the first of this week as
a result Of the strike is estimated
conservatively at 1926 ,06S 900 square
yards. With IAN increased trade in
prospect coupled with an upward
trend in prices, the desire of New
England manufacturers to get Their
mills back into quantity production
is easily. understandable.

people. With all the uniformed

named Alcazar.
POtentate Crosland said: "By

you and name you Alcazar." This
was followed by several songs rem

Shrine. 1t is unusual to have a
camel born in captivity.

that within reasonable period,

delay caused to carriers where no
door slot or mail receptacle is pro-

timely, that all should be treated
alike, and the postmaster Is adj

it finally becomes necessary, mail

KIDDY RAMP AND MILK FUND TO BE CONTEMPORARIES

Thursday evening, August 10, at s o'clock at No. 1420 Princeton ave- nue, West End, the Expression Pu- pills" of Mrs. F. W. Dawson and the Dancing Pupils" of Miss Elise Sparrow will give a charming lit lie play entitled, Midsummer Magic"
 The object of this delightful oc- casion is to raise funds for those two very popular organizations, the Kiddy Ramp and the Milk and Ice Fund.
 The sum of s1OO to be equally divided between the two organiza- tions is the goal and if the public does it's share by liberal patronage the Kiddy Ramp and the Milk and Ice Fund will each be $50 better off than they are now.
 The Woodlawn Concert orchestra will be one of the features of the entertainment Thursday evening, while the lovely Miss Elise Sparr ,w herself will contribute some danc- ing to the program.
 Altogether the occasion promises to be very interesting and Mrs. Dawson and Miss Sparrow deserve the gen. crous support of the community in arranging the entertainment in be- half of the Kiddy Ramp and the Milk and Ice Fund.

neas on the same land before and at inc same time and had plenty peas by this time? W. B., Guin.
 A. This condition is doubtless due to a plentiful supply of moisture IS the same condition is reported in thiS county. There will be plenty Of not dry weather yet for them to make.
 0. Which do you consider the best. the white or red blossom varie-y of crimson clover? e. R., Blounts- vile.
 A. The red blossom has proved the best in actual field trials.
 O How close can you grow The small winter savoy cabbage? Mrs. B. NJ, Route 1.
 A. This variety being a small, compact variety, may be grown as close as 12 inches in drills but consider l5 inches better.
 O. Is there any way to prevent mites getting on you in working with chickens at this time of the year Mrs. S., Route 9.
 A Rub a little kerosene oil on the hands and arms, also on your shoes and stockings. Chicken mites are very disagreeable companions but how many of us realize wna. q terror they must be to birds and fowls. Get rid of chicken mites.
 o. How late can you spray apples that generally ripen about the first of October? H. S., Pinson.
 A. Spraying with fungicides such as sulphur, may be kept up to within two weeks of ripening This treatment at the proper strength three pounds dry sulphur to 70 gallons water, may be used with great benefit and perfect safety.
 o. When I water my plants now the sun bakes the soil around them next day. How do you overcome this? Mrs. D. A, Gadsden.
 A. When potted plants are watered in the evening the top soil should be stirred the following morning. Keep the surface soil loose to promote cir culation and ventilation, otherwise the water does little good. Stir in loose, mellow soil around plants.
 O. What sort of spireas is it that the florists have in bloom around Easter and could l grow these in Bir- mingham to bloom then? Mrs. B.
 A. This species of spirea is forced in green houses by florists. The dormant clumps are planted out as soon as available in late fall. It is

JOHN MCCORMACK AND

"Mephisto," writing in Musical America" tells the following story about the great Irish American tenor, John Mccormack, who Is so pleasane- ly remembered in Birmingham as one of the attractions presented by the "All Star Concerts" last season:
 Says "Mephisto:"
 Reports from England tell us that John Mccormack Is rapidly recover ing his health; indeed, is In such good condition already that when he las sung he has shown all his old vitality as we'll as artistic powor. He Is to come back to us before long but when he comes. he will find trouble on his arrivel for Fly Mayer, has brought suit against John a1leg- ing fraud and misrepresentation.
 About a year ago. Mccormack, it seems. decided to see how really fresh milk tasted so he invested in several supposedly high grade cows. Finding that 1t cost considerably more per glass of milk than-years ago-one paid for champagne, John decided to rid himself of his experi- mental dairy, so he offered the cows at auction. Fly was "the successful bidder" Fly. now claims that the cows have failed to produce milk as he had anticipated. Possibly, the de- fense will be that the cows under he Volstead law have gone. like the country. dry and that, therefore, John with the Eighteenth amend ment to the constitution to help him out, will be free from responsibility.

BRILLIANT MUSICIAN TO BE MEM
 BIER CONSERVATORY FACULTY

Musical circles will hear with in- terest that Beatrice Tate Wright, one of Birmingham's most brilliant and finished pianists. will be 8 member of the faculty of the Birmingham Conservatory of Music the coming year.
 The announcement comes from Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen, the able direc- tor of the Conservatory of Music, who regards the acquisition of Mrs. Wright to the faculty as one of the most important steps taken by the Conservatory of Music in many days.
 Mrs. Wright is a graduate of the Birmingham Conservatory of Music and has been heard frequently in brilliant recital programs and her ex- cellent musicianship equips her thoroughly not only for appearances in concert but for teaching, of. which she has made such a signal success.
 Mrs. Wrights utilization with the Birmingham Conservatory of Music as a teacher will begin on September l.
