LETTERS TO EDITOR
MAKES SOME CRITICISMS
e Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I noticed in your paper of even date the following heading: "City Prepares to Rout Health Pest" Swat the Fly" "Homes to Be Supplied With Swatters." Dr. Bowling is, no doubt doing everything possible to safeguard the health of the citizens of Birmingham, or at least he is doing all he can with limited power. It is absolutely absurd to think of ridding the city of flies by means of the "swat- ter" To get rid of the fly (which will never be done entirely) it will be necessary to re- move his breeding place, which everyone knows, is filth.
 The city of Birmingham does not handle it's garbage problem as it should, particularly during the spring and summer months. If Dr. Bowling would visit a few of the back yards of the citizens of this town he would find "fly hatcheries' galore. The remedy is in the hands of our city commission. They have tho power to enact such sanitary laws as will be real and lasting benefit to our city. A law that would require proper home supervision of sanitary conditions (and enforce said law) and last but not least, Force the property owners to screen their houses"
 I'll venture to say that the commission will not even consider a screening ordinance for the reason that they have not the interest at heart of the city as . whole; they are afraid of the landlords. Screening our houses would not only keep out the fly, which produces over 50 per cent of typhoid cases, but 1t would also keep out the mosquito, which inoculates our system with malaria. The city of Memphis requires every house to be screened at the time of construction aud they must be kept in good repair-you get better houses in Memphis for your money than you do here. The same applies to Atlanta and other southern cities. My interests are in Birmingham and do not believe in knocking your home town, but frankly, we have the poorest governed city in our great southland. We raise h. about trivial things, but when 1t comes down to fundamental principles involving the building of great city, are we there with the punch7 If you hire man for particular job and the man does not work good 1t Is not the fault of the said man that he is kept on the job the boss should exercise his boss-ship. Yours for the good of the old home town,
 CHAS. 2, BOWLING.

tion since the high levels reached during the war. Volumes distributed during the year numbered 4,855,464, more than a million in excess of the circulation in the previous year.
 In China alone, 2,362,73o Bibles were cir culated. The demand is inereasing in Japan, the Near East and the Latin American coun- tries. The revised Spanish New Testament will be ready for distribution next year. Trans lations are being made for the natives of British East Africa, for the Bolivian Indians, the blacks of South Africa and the Liberians.
 For benighted races the Bible is first of all a spiritual torch, but in civilized countries it is also masterpiece of literature. No stylist has ever equaled the Bible, nor is 1t probable that he ever will. Its simple, direct language, which paints an indelible picture on the mind in few words, is a model by which every ann bilious writer should shape his course. The Bible has not only inspired more eloquence than any other book known to mankind, but 1t has influenced written and spoken language for centuries.
 It has been well said that comprehensive knowledge of the Bible and Shakespears is liberal education.

BURGESS GETS GOLD PIN

'I was delighted and surprised to receive a gold pin from the Harley Davidson company today" said Sergt. Eddie Burgess of the city motor scouts.
 "It seems that some of my friends informed the company that had something to do with the operation of the motor scout department and along with the pin came nice letter from the company thanking me for the interest I had taken in motorcycles and their upkeep and assuring me of their support and aid in the future."

 "The latest invention to prevent collisions. When woman driver screams her voice is transmitted through this horn, set mechan- ism at work that throws on the emergency brake and the car stops right where it is.''

BLAMEs REPUBLICANS !,

Ford would have had lease on Muscle Shoals long ago if it had not been for a republican Congress" said M. V. Henry, county treasurer. "The republican members of the committees have done all they could to block the presentation of the measure to the House. They cannot forget that Ford ran against a republican candidate for Congress once and the fact that the dam at Muscle Shoals is named in honor of Woodrow Wilson also rankles in their hearts.
 However, believe the bid of the Detroit manufacturer will be accepted by Congress as whole Even the republicans think too much of their jobs to vote against what they know majority of the people want"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
COLONEL WAKEFIELD AIDS SCHOOL


 Among the donations received for the Ala bama School of Trades and Industries at Rag land during the week was check for $100 from Col. S. Davies Warfield of Baltimore and New York, president of the Continental Bank & Trust Co.,, of Baltimore, president and chairman of the board of the Seaboard Airline railroad and chairman of the board of railroad finance of the United States" said Judge Hugh Locke, chairman of the campaign committee to raise 1000 to secure the es- tablshment of the school.
 Some time ago the matter of the estab- lishment of the school intended to train the youth of the state in the various trades and vacations, and providing way that they can earn their way through school by their work while at school, was brought to the attention of Colonel Warfield/ and the check came in response. He is known the country over as man with a generous heart and he is partic. ularly interested in the development of the south.
 "The donation from Colonel Warfield shows how men of large affairs elsewhere in the country regard the Ragand school movement and feel quite confident if this school were brought to the attention of other philanthro- pists throughout the country that many rsore would respond in as generous manner as did Colonel Warfield. Such donations will have the effect of stimulating Our home people to support the school also.'

IS0 rumOr and gossip stage, and the scan dalmonger is at large.
 If Brann's Iconoclast was alive today it would doubtless devote several pages to Bir- mingham.
 One of the latest pieces of gossip printed in Mobile weekly paper is to the effect that the writer's personal friend, Frederick I. Thompson, who owns the Mobile Register and is now member of the United States Shipping board, has bought The Birmingham Age-Herald. The rumor probably originated from the fact that both papers are supporting Brandon for governor and that the editors of each are close personal friends.
 Mir. Thompson and his wife and children are leaving this month for summer vacation in Japan and China.
 As to the rumors, which seem to be circu- lated by busybodies it might be well to state that there is not money enough in the world to buy The Age-Herald from it's present own CTS. They like it; they have pride in it; and it will remain for all time within the own ership of its present editor and his family and associates.
 They like it; the public likes it and does its full part in making it great newspaper.

 The recent defeat of the bond issue was perhaps the best thing that has happened in years. It has made the people think seriously of civic affairs and take part with the officials, in the proper expenditure of moneys.

REVISE POLLING METHOD

"The board of revenue directed some time ago that separate voting lists be prepared in the precincts of the county where there are more than one polling place and I have been busy at this work lately" said M. E. Morris, county registrar.
 Formerly all voting places in the same precinct had the same polling list which made it possible for one man to vote at two or more places. The new lists, when prepared, will place check on double voting, and will also be more convenient for the officers holding the elections to handle, as they will contain fewer names. A good many more boxes have been established in the county, making voting more convenient for large number of citi- zens, and anticipate that the number of votes cast will be larger as a result"

 Surely, nothing is of more import ynce to the nations future than the preservation of it's babies. When, in a majority of cases, it is so easy to make them healthy and happy, by proper care and treatment, no mother should ignore the opportunity to learn what is needed for their welfare. Nature Is, indeed, wonder ful, as the saying is, but the complexities of modern life, especially in cities, make 1t im- perative that attention be paid to dieting, hy- giene and other matters which the average person knows little about.

TENNYSON'S "GODIVA"
lis FILM SPECTACLE

Ever since the first announcement
that Associated Exhibitors would re-
lease the Continental spectacle, Lady
Godiva," adapted from Tennyson's
immortal poem, the manager Of the
that he show the feature.
1t is, therefore, with great pleasure
that he announces it as the special at
traction Saturday. In creating Lady
Godiva" for the screen, the producers
have endeavored to blend the various
legends that have come down the
years, as well as the facts set forth in
Tennyson's classic narration. The re-
suit is a complete romantic and dra-
matte spectacle of unusually high quail
ity.
Godiva is shown as the beautiful
daughter of the Mayor of Coventry,
who is forced into a loveless marriage
with the cruel Earl of Mercia, who is
also lord of Coventry. Her lover, a
young architect, who is building a
great castle for the wicked Earl, is
torn from her, cast into prison and
condemned to death.
The architect escapes, and Godlva
makes her famous ride, clothed on IN
chastity" to use the words of Tenny-
son, to save her t~ownspeople from he
wrath of her brutal husband. Her
lover is recaptured and is led to exc
cution, while a feast is being held to
celebrate the opening of the castle
which his genius has constructed.
But the wicked earl has counted
without his cost. The outraged cit1-

one with the fringe and drape 1t
about her.

There are strange things at the

prise grandma. Silks and satins have

actly like grandma's old knitted petit
ccat, and thinks she is all dressed
up; then she exchanges that demure
garment for one with cape like a
tcreador's, and swanks forth to tea
Capes, by the way, cannot be es-
capped. Grandma wore 'em, too, but
she never took off her skirt when
a cold wind came up, to throw it
about her shoulders as cape, re-
vealing neat knickers of the same
tweed material.
