NEW ORLEANS EDITOR HERE

Dan D. Moore, editor and manager of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, passed through Birmingham last night en route to the con vention of the Southern Newspaper Publish CTS association in Asheville.
 "My friends got lot of alarming reports about me in the spring." said MT. Moore, "but now feel like my old self. A bad spell oi flu in January caused me lot of trouble and I went out to Mineral Wells. They have there Crazy hotel, Crazy barbershop-in fact, nearly everything is named after the Crazy springs.
 q sent back some facetious cards to friends about being in the Crazy house, and when I got back to New Orleans was greeted by one acquaintance, who seriously remarked Why, thought you had had complete men tai and physical breakdown
 'It wasn't that bad, but l was pretty sick just the same.'

SUZANNE STANDS SUPREME AS TENNIS CHAMPION

One question of international importance has been settled. Mile. Suzanne Lengen is the woman tennis champion of the world. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory was defeated decise- j ly at Wimbledon and the temperamental French star has regained the prestige she lost in America.
 When Mile. Suzanne met Mrs. Mallory in
 America she was accused of quitting cold" In contrast to the gallant behavior of her coun- tryman, M. Georges Carpentier, who took a
 beating at the hands of Mr. Dempsey without
 murmur, and stood up to the punishment with
 courage and pertinacity that made him more of hero than ever, Mile. Lenglen's behavior created a distinctly unfavorable impression. Some of the sport writers transgressed the bounds of chivalry in their comments on Su- zanne. It was even insinuated that there wss nothing the matter with her health, but I the vernacular of the day she simply couldn't stand the gaff"
 The criticism to which she was subjected did not improve Suzanne's disposition, and she de-
 parted from our inhospitable shores with her
 feathers dropping Remarks attributed to Mrs.
 Mallory helped to shatter the entente cordiaIe. When the American and the French champion finally net at Wimbledon interest in the match was intensified by the knowledge that they were far from being friendly rivals. In the preiminaries Mrs. Mallory played su. perb tennis. Mlle Suzanne showed superform In the finals the American player was swept off her feet, M. Carpentier fell before Mir.
 Dempsey. Suzanne triumphsd over Molia. As between America and France the honors seem to bs about even.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
MINISTER WRITES FROM ALBANY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: In the "street sale' edition of The Age Herald yesterday, July T, you carry the front page (with glaring headlines) report of disorders occurring in Albany. In the sec tion of such report dated Albany, Ala, July 6, the third paragraph begins with these words "It is said that the minds of the men became inflamed here yesterday by speech by local minister of the gospel, and that since that time the men have refused to allow would-be work men to enter the company's shops" Being the only minister who made an ad- dress to the shopmen on that day, and that one by request of the union officials and of ex- actly the opposite nature and purpose from your report, am writing to ask that you name the source in Albany from which you re- ceived said report.
 On an inside page of this mornings issue you carry the denial of the mayors of both Albany and Decatur of the reports of dis order. There are so many ways of com municating with Albany from Birmingham that you could easily have ascertained the facts before publishing such misleading re- port
 The very few men who remained at work have gone to and from the shops at will ana unmolested. The only things calculated to "inflame" the men here have been the unlaw- full carrying of weapons by the few nonde- script men imported by the railroad and such newspaper reports that carried by you yes- terday morning
 My address, complimenting the men on their good behavior and exhorting them to avoid all acts of violence, was published in the Albany-Decatur Daily of Wednesday aft ernoon. Local business and professional men, as well as shopmen, have thanked me for the wholesome advice therein against all forms of lawessness and rowdyism. Am sure you can secure a copy of same should you desire. Very truly yours, W. P. WILKS. Albany, July 8, 1922. x

HENRY FORD'S BOOM FOR
 THE PRESIDENCY

Henry Ford, The Age-Heralds Washing ton correspondent declares, is definitely in the race for the presidency. Heretofore re- garded as more or less of joke or at best an attempt by MT. Ford tosfind out just how the American people regarded him as White House possibility, the Ford boom is now ac- cepted by leaders of both parties as a factor to be reckoned with. Headquarters have been opened in Chicago and national publicity campaign has been started
 Running as an independent, the Detroit manufacturer might prove troublesome to democrats and republicans alike, although the republicans have more to fear from his candi- dacy. Despite the fact that he is called a visionary and some of his views on public questions have been ridiculed as being both impractical and socialstic, MT. Ford unques- tionably has strong hold on the popular im- agination. Muscle Shoals will of course be used by him for all it is worth ex- ample of republican subservence to "preda- tory interests in opposition to the people.
 There are several reasons why politicians of both parties would do well to keep an eye on MT. Fords activities. In the first place he is not such "babe in the wood' politically as he is supposed to be. The Ford organiza- tion is extraordinarily compact and efficient. It is by no means limited to his factories, but covers the country. He is said to have a small army of retainers who are not con cerned primarily in making automobiles. He is in a position to command unlimited pub agent in the United States, and he is one Of the worlds richest men who could spend a huge sum of money to gratify his ambition.
 With the republican party in disrepute, the democrats not much better off in public es- teem and general dissatisfaction throughout the country, Mir. Ford, by appealing to dsgruntled elements as friend of the people, might prove formidable contender for the pr.s- idency He has a considerable following and could depend on strong support from labor and the farmers. Some of MT. Ford's radical ideas are discounted in the public mind by his sub stantial achievements as an industrial leader, and he has another great asset-the belief in his sincerity of purpose.
 The spectacle of Henry Ford fighting sin- gle-handed and successfully against powerful financial interests is not without it's value as campaign material.

PROSPERITY IS ASSURED BY NATIONWIDE BUILDING
The Iron Age says:

The Iron Age says:
 Domestic railroad car awards for the first half of the year totaled 101, ,625. This show ing has not been exceeded in ten years. The June figure was 14,400. New awards are keeping up steadily, those of the week az gregating 4,50o.1
 Industry is principally engaged in struc- tural work The nation is building in one way and another as it never built before There was never period in the history of the in- dustries of the Birmingham district engaged in structural operations when they were so uniformly full turn.
 Cement plants are pressed to the limit to supply the demand for southern building. Face brick plants must accept new business sub ject to deferred delivery. Sanitary pipe shops cannot promise delivery under six to eight weeks. With the pressure pipe plants, deliv- cries are not guaranteed under 30 to 75 days.
 Northern mills have not been accepting new business in sheets and pipe. The pent-up de- mand is country wide. America is building up the waste places. All that is needed to main- tain an unbroken period of prosperity ex- tsnding over several years is reasonablsness = to prices and service.

 AND ELSEWHERE
MAINTAINING JEFFERSON ROADS

Maintenance of roads after they are built is often overlooked by highway enthusiasts said M. J. Wheeler, road superintendent of Jefferson county. 'Tn this county we try to watch the roads very closely in order that they may not get in too bad shape before corree. tive measures are applied. Such measures diff fer with the conditions of the road. When not too badly worn the road is scraped and reshaped by machine. When the road is worn so that this is not possible, the holes are filled with new material and the surface is scraped and reshaped Where road is beyond such methods, it is scarified or regarded and three or four inches of new material added
 "The cost of convict and free labor neces- sary to do the work is about $233,000 q year. part of this would be spent under any cir cumstances in maintenance of prisoners, and their food and clothing costs would remain about the same, whether working or idle. The roads of Jefferson county represent an expen- diture of about s6,000,000, so that the money spent for maintenance is comparatively small eum

BEARD AND BABY

(To Mir. John M. Dandy, Father.) By Eugene Field.
 I say Gas one who never feared
 The wrath of subscribers bullet) I pity him who has beard,
 But has no little girl to pull it. When wife and have finished tea,
 Our baby woes me with her prattle, And, perching proudly on my knee,
 She gives my petted whiskers battle. With both her hands she tugs away,
 As cooing at me, kind O spiteful- You'll not believe me when I say
 find the torture quite delightful. None others would presume, ween,
 To trifle with this hirsute wonder Else would rise in vengeful mien
 And rend his varlet frame asunder. But when her baby fingers pull
 This glossy, sleek and silky treasure, My cup of happiness is full
 fairly glow with pride and pleasure. And, sweeter still, through all the day seem to hear her winsome prattle- I seem to feel her hands at play,
 As though they gave me sportive battle Ay, heavenly music seems to steal,
 Where thought of her forever fingers, And round my heart I always feel
 The twinin9 of her dimpled fingers.

ECHOES OF GEORGIA STRIKE

Speaking of strikes recalls to my mind that the construction of the new Masonic tempe here figures slightly in one," said Eli Short ridge.
 "Around the temple are columns of stone with rosettes at the top. Many of these TO- settes had to be cut out after the stone was placed and the men were here working several weeks ago, when suddenly the remainder of the stonecutters in Georgia at the quarry apparently struck. This affected the Masonic temple job and with only two or three more of the little stones to cut, the workmen packed their tools and went back to Georgia
