AK MURDERS IN BIRMINGHAM
 MUST BE STOPPED

Tony Loreno and his wife are the latest vic- tims of brutal assault In their grocery store. Birmingham is aroused by this outrage, follow ing so closely similar attacks on small grocers and their families
 There is at least one fend at large in Bir- mingham, and maybe more, who slaps his vic tims with an ax, and is perfectly willing So take the lives of women and children to facli- tate his escape. The motive seems to be rob bery, yet it may be possible that some degener- ate is roaming about the city who is mur- derous maniac, bent beating out the brains of his victims. This theory would be more tenable were it not for the fact that the four families who have fallen victims in the past seven months, resulting in four deaths and five others injured, were all keepers of small gro- cery stores. A maniac would hardly confne his activities to storekeepers if he were not prompt ed by the desire to rob. The striking similarity in the ax murders, however, suggests that the same criminal or criminals may be responsible for them all.
 The indications point to negroes as the guilty persons. In tho case of Tony Loreno, he was well armed and made desperate fight, but the negro who attacked him got away. Yet, no mat ter how many weapons merchant may have about his premises at the time, if he is alone he stands small chance of protecting him self from an assassin who comes in as a cus- toner and strikes him down from behind.
 The way to stop these atrocities which are a reflection on Birmingham and are terrorizing small shopkeepers of foreign birth who own most of the little corner grocery stores, is to catch and hang few murderers, The mer- chants themselves cannot protect their lives and property from such attacks Neither can they afford to close their stores at o'clock in the evening, as one commissioner is said to have suggested. Some of them do large part of their business after o'clock when their negro customers have finished work for the day. Neither is it probable that they hoard money in their stores. Most of them have bank deposits. negro criminal doesn't hesitate to commit murder for as small sum as $10.
 The police and the citizens of Birmingham, particularly the law-abding colored citizens, must cooperate to end what is getting to be a reign of terror. It is a shocking thing to realize with impunity.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
PoLlTENEss IN THEATRES
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your "Plea for Good Manners in the The atre' was enjoyed. It is one of Birmingham's bad habits, the hurrying to leave the theatre before the play is finished. Whether it is the result of thoughtlessness or worse, there is remedy. suggestion such as you have given will be sufficient for those who can think and do care for the pleasure and comfort of the other men, and for those who will not re- spect the rule there might be enlisted the CO., operation of the manager of the theatre and the actors themselves. Not many would suffer the penalty of ridicule.
 Some years ago I attended Rev. Sam Jones lecture in Birmingham. It his rule to not excuse any man. That night man, who is prominent judge in the courthouse, was there with his sweetheart. He had to leave bit early, he thought, to get a suburban car, and as he walked from the place Sam Jones said :: Alright, if your little cup is full, you may go.' He took his medicine like good scout.
 Recently l saw Jane Cowl in "Smiln' Through" in Greenvle Ala, theatre. It was necessary to delay the opening for power full light had to be installed at the last minute, and that large audience of splendid men and women waited outside the building without a murmur. It was the most beautiful play have ever seen, the supreme climax in the last act and when it was finished the house was as si- lent as the sphinx.
 Some may call that "small town stuff" but thought it represented brains and culture, and reallyNdesired to applaud it. Sincerely yours,
 THOMAS F. WEST.

HE SPOKE IN TIME

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 A Scranton pastor who counseled young woman of his flock against marrying a young man whose family history revealed his unfitness for marriage is to be commended. The ag- grieved sutor proceeded to bring another suit against the minister; but, jury, after very brief deiberation, has brought in verdict for the clergyman.
 If everybody showed the same courageous frankness in giving warning to those contem- plating matrimony, there would be consider able reduction in the number of non-eugenic marriages. There would not be many inno- cent children paying for the marital mistakes of their progenitors. Marrying parsons and com plaisant justices of the peace with an eye to the fees and not to the unborn often sin against the future of the race. At present those who insist on mental and physical well-being as a pre- requisite to matrimonial alliance are to some extent pathfnders; before long they will find themselves on broad and beaten highway travelled by the thoughtful portion of mankind.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
 AWAITING ELECTION

"The ex-service men of Birmingham are look ing forward with eagerness to January 30, when the amendment enfranchising them without pay ment of poll tax until 1923 will be submitted to the public" said Arthur Greenwood, finance officer of Post No. 1 of the American Legion. "This amendment, which will be voted on at the same time as the good roads amendment, is of particular importance, coming as it does just before the contemplated referendum on the question of the reopening of Pershing Pier
 "As the members of Post No. I have put themselves on record by an almost unanimous vote as in favor of the reopening of the East Lake dance hall it may be readily seen that the membership vote will cut some figure in the referendum. At present it would be necessary for great many of the ex-servce men to pay amounts ranging from $6.50 to $7 for the priv ilege of taking part in the coming referendum. It is expected that the soldier amendment will be carried at the same time the bond issue amendment, and in time for the boys to express their opinion at the polls to dancing at East Lake"

ABOUT MICNoN HALL

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I believe The Age-Herald had in mind it's well advertised accident insurance with sub scriptons when it permitted Mignon Hall to defend herself against the gentleman who was criticising her in last Sundays paper. The Age Herald well knew somebody was going to get badly hurt I the paper should not use her with that delicate little first name to lure would be critics to their destruction in order to boost the insurance feature.
 l think Mignon should change that first name of hers immediately and her last name at her leisure. Instead of being delicate little lady, as the first name implies, I believe she is a fighter. She has proven that mentally this is true. I think I heard once that she wanted 70 see a German student duel. Instead of being mortified as she should have been with that name she enjoyed it, and yelled for the best man to win. She ought not to go around Birmingham with that soft little name intriguing people to criticise her unless, as before stated, it is the policy of the paper to thus add to the popularity of it's insurance business.
 In closely reading The Age-Herald ever since it was 8 paper, do not remember seeing any thing in it that I enjoyed more than Mgnon' 5 defense of her criticism of the police depart ment in connection with the recent ax murders. It was rich. c. c. SMITH.
