The referendum of The Age Herald on form of government preferred by voting citizens of Birmingham has brought out a representative express sion of opinion.
 In nearly 400 ballots sent to the office of The Age Herald the mayor and alderman plan Is leader over the city manager plan by to l. The old form of government made its best showing .set In the last batch of ballots received the re- suit being ? for commission, 25 for city manager and 72 for mayor and alderman.
 Out of the first ss2 votes cast the following is the result:
 For commission, s.
 For city manager. I27.
 For mayor and aldermen, 257.
 There does not seem to be any dis tinct line of thought in old Birming- nam and the suburbs. The express sion or opinion runs about the same in all sections. For instance. in one mall there were Il votes for city manager and 33 for mayor and al- dermen. The distribution was as follows: For manager, in old Bir- mlngham, votes, and in suburbs votes; for mayor and aldermen. in old Birmingham, Is votes, and in suburbs IS votes.
 Another batch of ballots ran & for manager and IS for mayor and aldermen with this distribution: For mayor and aldermen, in old Birming- ham, II votes. and in suburbs votes; Tor manager. in old Birmingham. S votes. and in suburbs 2 votes.

 Oid-Timers Line Up
 The old-timers are lining up for the mayor ani alderman plan with s marked solidarity. They are con spicuously on that side.
 Not very many women have voted.
 Where man and wife have voted, they seem to have been of the same mind.
 Major part of the women votes seem to come from young women Tn the offices of business establish ments. Birmingham matrons and housewives do not seem to have as yet entered into the spirit of the game.
 Open to All Voters
 The ballot is open to bona fide voters of both sexes. It Is growing more interesting with each mail. Birmingham is evidently interested in the kind of government which 1t thinks it should have.
 The commission form has been showed under. Only 8 out of nearly 400 so far remain its friends.
 Cut out the ballot in today's Age Herald and send 1t to Referendum Department" care Herald.
 A man ought to show his colors. no matter on which side he Is.
 A few more ballots from the newly enfranchised women voters would be in order.

 New York, April 5.-Recogni- tion of the changed status of women by striking from the Episcopal marriage ceremony the promise to obey and eliminating the compulsory giving in mar riage was proposed by the com mfttee on the revision of the book of common prayer, the re- port made public tonight, shows.
 Gaining equal rights with men in their marriage vows. however, the women would lose a special privilege now accorded them. For the proposal to change the ceremony also provides for strik- ing out the bridegrooms' pledge with all my worldly goods I thee endow."
 The commissions report, pub lished in the form of 230-page book and proposing more than 250 alterations and the inclusion of seven entirely new offices, or forms of worship. will be sub mitted to the triennial general convention of the church at Portland. Ore, next September. Under the constitution of the church, 1t cannot be adopted un- til it has. been approved by two general conventions but members of the commission hope to see the changes finally ratified at the 1925 convention.
 Six pages of the report are de- voted to the proposed changes in the marriage ceremony. the first hint of. the breadth of the revi- sion appearing in the following:
 Make the promise of the man and of the woman identical in form:
 "wilt thou love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sick ness and in health and, forsak- ing all others. keep thee only unto him, so long as you both shall live?"
 At present the woman prom ises to "obey" and serve"
 The next change, eliminating the compulsory giving of a wo- man in marriage, would make 1t possible for the clergymen to omit:
 Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" and would provide for the singing of hymn or anthem at this point.
 Another proposed change would strike "obey" from the sentences of espousal.
 The report continues:
 Amend the sentence in regard to the ring by emitting the words and with all my worldly goods l thee endow.'"
 This change would make the ring pledge of the bridegroom read:
 With this ring I thee wed: In the name of the Father. and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen"
 There are 15 changes in all in the proposed amendment to the ceremony, including a number of minor alterations and provisions for alternative closing prayers. A prayer for the blessing of the wedding ring also Is proposed. which reads: Bless. o Lord. this ring, that she who wears 1t may abide in Thy peace and continue in Thy favor, unto her life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"

New York, April 5.-John L. Lewis. president of the United Mine work- CTS, established temporary strike Headquarters in New York today to await the outcome of the House laoor committees invitation to bituminous coal operators to join the miners Ill wage conference at Washingt on, b. C.
 While awaiting further advice from Congressman Nolan, chairman of the House committee. MT. Lew IS announced he would attempt to has, ten negotiations for settlement for the anthracite strike through the miners and operators subcommittee on wages contract negotiations fa session here.
 Referring to reports from Wash ington that operators of Ohio and Indiana already had sent telegrams to Mir. Noian deciinirg to meet with the miners, Mir. Lewis said: T have not received any official notifica- ton that the operators refused the invitation. I can only reaffirm our willingness to negotiate with then, at any time"
 Mir. Lewis appeared we'll pleased with the attitude taken by the con- gressman and expressed belief that the workers had established their sincerity of purpose at the hearings in Washington.
 Our position remains unassafl- able" he said. There also seems to be a sympathetic response on the part of the public to our efforts to settle peaceably our controversy with the operators"
 He vigorously denied reports that unless the bituminous operators agreed to conference the union men would withdraw from the collieries all engineers, firemen and pumpmen detailed to protect property while the strike Is on.
 The strike, both in the bituminous and anthracite fields Is effective 100 per cent. MT. Lewis said. Although reports were too incomplete to indi- cate 10 what extent the 100000 nom union miners had joined the walk out he asserted, the strike Is rap idly being extended into non-union territory"

BOTH SIDES CLOSE IN MURDER TRIAL
 OF OLIVIA STONE
Case of Nurse Charged With Killing Cincinnati Law yer Will Be Given to
 Jury Today
By AssoclAted Press

New York, April 5-The case of Miss Olivia NJ. P. Stone. graduate nurse, charged with murdering Ellis G. Kinkead, Cincinnati lawyer. in Brooklyn last August will go to the jury tomorrow.
 Both sides finished heated summa- tions late today and Justice Aspinal told the supreme jury in Brooklyn that has been hearing the evidence that he would defer his charge until in the morning.
 Assistant District Attorney War basse concluded an address which lasted almost three hours by calling upon the jury to convict Miss Stone to prove that the law on mnruer can be enforced against women as well as men,"
 Judging by the past" he said, there is not much chance that you 12 men will do what you swore to do when you took your places in the jury box. Judging from the past, there isn't much hope you will con- vict a woman. But I am hoping that God will give you strength and cour- age to bring in a verdict Of guilty, because this case is not only against Olivia Stone-she is mere detail but it Is to test the supremacy of American law
 Mir. Warbasse dwelt at length on the testimony of Dr. Sylvester R. Lahy, alienist of Brooklyn, who. after hearing a long hypothetical question, declared it was his belief Miss Stone was sane when she shot Kinkead.
 No alienist has been here to say she was not sane. insisted Mir. War basse. and no alienist has been asked her condition now. Instead the de- fense has spoken of an explosion in the brain.
 They have declared she suffered from temporary transitory emotional insanity, a long name which Dr. Lahy declared meant nothing. The only undisputed evidence which has been offered is that Miss Stone, when she shot Kinkead, was sane"
 During the afternoon Miss Stone regained to some extent the compos- ure which she lost when Edward J. Reilly, her counsel, made his appeal for her in the morning session. But as the afternoon ended. she had her second, fainting attack and all through qulckiy IeNlNeu, udu to pe helped downstairs to the detention room.
 Mrs. Kinkead, widow of the slain man, also appeared stronger in the afternon. In the morning, under at tack of Mir. Reilly, she had left the courtroom weeping. But she re- turned when MT. warbtsses began and sat there the rest of the afternoon. For the first time during the trial she appeared in deep mourning, wearing a heavy black veil, which she kept constantly pulled down over her face.

Chemists have constructed a scale of odors similar to he musical scale. according to pr. Marston T. Bogart, professor of organic chemistry of Columbia University, in an address at the Tutwiler hotel last night before the American Chemical society.
 pr. Bogart's paper, The Flow CT Fields and the Organic Chem ist; Perfumes, Natural and Syn thetic," was illustrated with slides showing mainly the flow CT fields of France and the rose fields of Bulgaria.
 ''Dr. Septimus Piesse main tained that inasmuch as every perfume produces its own pecu- liar effect upon the olfactory cells, just as every musical note has it's own Characteristic ac- ton upon the ear. that therefore all odors can be arranged in a gamut corresponding to the mu- sical scale" said Dr. Bogart.

 73 Vote
By Associated Press

Washington, April 5.--By vote of more than three to one the House late today passed and sent to the Senate a bil authorizing the deporta- ton of aliens convicted in state or federal courts on charges of having violated the narcotic and volstead acts.
 Described by prohibition advocates as a step toward better law enforce ment. and characterized by Repre- sentative Graham, Pennsylvania. ranking republican on the Judiciary committee as "a monstrous piece of legislation" the bill stood up against all attacks.
 motion to recommit so that the provision relating to conviction in state courts might be eliminated was defeated and the measure was put through. as framed, 222 to 73.
 Representative Walsh, republican, Massachusetts. a member of the judi ciary committee which wrote the original Volstead act and who of fered the motion to recommit de- clared he believed now as then that the enforcement law was made too drastic at the start.
 Warning was sounded to prohibi- tionists by many members including Representative Mann, republican, Illinois, veteran of the House that they were going too far. that there was danger of disrupting the whole system of law enforcement and that jurors would be unwilling to convict those who ought to go to Jail if it also meant .deportation.
 There were many references to the anti-saloon league. and Wayne s. Wheeler. it's general counsel Repre- sentative Hill, republican. Maryland. charged that the American Bootleg gers Union" and the league were standing hand In hand and fighting under one banner to get the alien bootlegger out of business. Mir. Walsh said that Mir.

Musical Odors, Spherical Perfumes and
 Oblong Stinks Discussed By Dr. Bogert

spherical perfumes, oblong stinks, etc"
 Dr. Bogart indicated that Nero of old was a lavish user of per fumes. Tt is said that at the funeral of his wife, Poppaea. Nero used more perfume than all Arabia then furnished in a whole year." said the speaker. "Pliny raised his voice against such ex- cessive perfumes by individuals so that the churches would not lack them.
 Tt is amusing to read that Plancius Plancus prescribed by the Triumvire and pursued by their soldiers, took refuge in a cave, but his hiding place was betrayed by the odors eminating therefrom."
 The little city of Grasse, n the Aples- Martinez department of Provence, Is the heart of Frances flower growing and perfume producing district. Dr. Bogart said. and Is really one vast flow CT garden.
