Last year $50 different donors be-
friended the opportunity list. That
their investment proved satisfactory
is shown by the fact that many of
them are already coming back with
their Chris stmas gifts. In doing SO
they express regret that their one

and their five dollars five hundred.
But every bit helps. 1t is friends for
the opportunities. invisible though
they may be. as well as money. that
is sought. While obviously names
and addresses must be treated as con-

While last year was a record in the

HAS ACCOMPLISHED
FOR CIGARMAkERS
(From Cigarmakers' Journal)

The records for the period of five
years from January |, 1916, TO Janu-
airy |, 1921, show that of the total
deaths of cigarmakersl, 1S9 died
between twenty and thirty years,
average age 26ls years; I20 between
thirty and forty years, average age
81 ITO years; Gil between forty and
fifty years, average age as 10
years; 92S between fifty and sixty
years, average age 81 l-5 years; OPS

srage age Cd years; d2S between sew
enty and eighty years, average age
10 $40 years; llS between eighty
years; 8 between ninety and one
hundred years, average age 81 Sd
years.
The general average for the five
years was 81 $40 years. The average
of the members who died during the
year 1920 was So l-5 years.
Ii is interesting TO note that in the
five years 92S members died between
the ages of sixty years and seventy
years or an average of "a years; that
42S members lived to be over seventy
years and less thap eighty years at
an average of 73 $40 years; while

20 days, while the average for 1921
was So Is years, or an increase of

man movement of today is the best
working out of the principles of
Christ, when they are not radical and
bring out the best in unioniSm.
Professor Woolbert gave timely
piece of advice when he advocated
presenting the true case of labor
unions to the University boys and
girls. These boys and girls are the
sons of bankers, farmers and business
men, mainly, and when graduated will
form the larger portion of the bust
ness men to the future. Instill into
their hearts the principles of union
ism and cause them to see the Justice
of the cause and then future business
, men will not take the same attitude
toward labor as the present.
Professor Woolbert gave very
concrete and specific example of the
lack of knowledge displayed by uni
versity students on matters pertain
ing to labor conditions. In one of his
classes in debating, the subject was
the recent coal strike. For several
days various speakers were opposed
to the coal miners and derided them
as being lazy and not wanting to
work. 1.-THE very idea," they said.
These miners want to work only 30
hours week. Why don't they work
a full week? Anyone who will not
work should be condemned" Profess
sor Woolbert listened to these argu-
ments without replying. He knew
that sooner or later some one would
take the part of the miners. And
one boy defended them. "Why," he
said, "the miners are working less
than thirty hours a week and they
want a guarantee of at least 30 hours
week" Then, according to the pro-
fessor, the entire attitude of the stu
dents toward the miners changed and
they could not find scorn enough to
desert the ''mean" mine owners
who would not let the miners work
even 80 hours a week.
Father Flynn read very interest
ing poper on the subject of THE
Catholic Church and Labor" The
paper is printed here in its entirety.

tons are quoted from Pope Leo, who

 T was astonished to learn upon arriving in Phoenix City. Ariz.. q town of 3o,ooo inhabitants, that they had as much money invested Tn schools as the city of Birmingham has with 200.000 population.
 We should take the step that A.- lanta has just taken to correct her terrible mistake. Atlanta defeated her first bond issue for schools put has now passed s7,5o0, 900 issue. It should be lesson to Birmingham to do the same thing" Mir. Jemison declared.
 The question was brought before the realtors as to having a delegate from the Birmingham board to ap- pear before the public service com mission in Montgomery on July |. The appointment will be made in the next few days it was announced.

'CLoe Says Prisoners WiH

Safety Commissioner Will Present Plan to Associates Calling for Constructive City Prison Reforms

Plans for establishing city main- tained and operated. laundry, spe- officially for city employees, and the erection of barracks for prisoners on city owned and operated farm, by the city. cultivated by city prisoners, will probably be brought up for rati- fication before the c1ty commission by Commissioner of Public Safety w. B. Cloe, Tuesday,
 Commissioner Cloe stated yester- day that he has had this plan in mind for some time and regards 1t in a most favorable light, owing to the fact that it will be means of a great saving, both to the city treasury and the employees, especially city firemen,
 Commissioner Cloes plan for tre laundry embodies abolition of the northside city prison except possibly one floor which will be maintained for prisoners, confined in jail and awaiting trial. Immediately upon being tried and sentenced, prisoners will by the plan in mind, be trans ferre6 to the city farm. The lower floor and basement of the northside prison can be constructed into modern laundry, according to Com missioner Cloe, to be operated by te- male inmates, who are at the pres ent time. burdens on the city. Com missioner Cloe stated that approxi- mately $4o0 to $700 monthly is paid out by the city for laundry, including that paid by the firemeR, which would in itself greatly reimburse
 The commissioners plan for the farm and barracks calls for purchas- ing new site. or converting one of the present sites owned by the city into farm to be operated eXclu- sive1y by convict labor. Such labor as is needed for maintenance Of streets and sewerage systems can be obtained by this department of the city from the farm. Commissioner Cloe is of the opinion that the city of Birmingham has the same right to own and operate a farm of this nature as the state or Jefferson county, both of which have such farms that are noted for their size and quality of products in all near by states.
 Commissioner Cloe stated that em- pleyment on farms and laundry will not hold charms for for violators of city laws and will tend to decrease crime or misdemeanors in the city, whil ebringing revenue into the city for subsistence costs. At present there are large number of inmates
 In the jail, totally idle, who by this plan could be put to work and at profit by the city.
