LETTERS TO EDITOR
FLOODED WITH REQUESTS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Some two weeks ago there appeared in your esteemed paper an article to the effect that I was building new brick and hollow tile building adjoining our present cleaning and dyeing plant to be used as an auto shop. We did not think at the time of reading this news item that it would cause flood of letters from concerns all over this country or else would have advised you then of the error on your correspondents part.
 However, the correct version is, that we are erecting cleaning and dyeing plant and have no idea of entering the automobile field as stated in the paper It shows undoubtedly that The Age-Herald is being read by more people than some think.
 This correction is being sent you with the hope that we will not have to answer so many letters in the future.
 Wishing you continued Success, we beg to remain, SOL MORGENTHAU, President.
 Tuscaloosa, February IT, 1922.

HALF A BILLION DOLLARS SPENT
 ON ROAD BUILDING

Slow and laborious as it has seemed to be, road building under federal aid during the past five years foots up gratifying total, especially when 1t is realized that greater mile age than ever has been prepared to take ad- vantage of additional funds
 Up to the first of the year there had been completed 12,907 miles of highway built with government help at cost of $221, ,000, ,000, of which the government paid about $95, ,000, 900 and the states the remainder. There were under construction at the beginning of the year more than 5000 miles of road receiving federal aid to the extent of more than $117,- 0oo,o
 Up to 1922 the government had invested moro than $212, ,o0o, 900 in highways totaling almost 28,Ooo miles, to which was added about $2S5, 1000, ,o00 of state funds. The grand total is approximately half billion dollars.
 Viewed in the light of what has been paid out in the same length of time for armies and navies, for wars that have been and for wars that might be, this half billion dollars dis tributed over country as large and as rich as this seems a comparatively small sum. On tho other hand, the nation has had demon stration of the value of roads and is deter mined to devote more money to that purpose.
 Alabama has been late in accepting federal aid for road building, but we will make up for lost time this year.

PROGRESSIVE ATTITUDE OF
 MOBILE AND OHIO

Announcement by the vice president of the Mobile Ohio railroad that it would partici- pate in joint rates from St. Louis to Mobile with the Warrior river barge line via Tusca- loosa has encouraged Mobilians to hope for the diversion of large grain movement now going to New Orleans via the Mississippi.
 The action of the Mobile and Ohio has also attxaeted attention as being the first volunteer offr of rail carrier to cooperate with the

The multitude acclaimed them as
 They marched away to war, But talk about bonus has
 Aroused a feeling far Removed from those emotions which The cheering crowds displayed, Wrought up to such a fervid pitch
 Nobody would have said That when our heroes had returned From battles bravely fought Their claims upon us would be spurned, No matter what they sought.

as good collar for 10c. I was victim and told him that newspaper was responsible for its advertisements and that complaint would be made. It taught him a lesson.
 But, some time thereafter, another merchant advertised certain brand of childrens hose for 25c pair. A call upon this merchant for this brand of hose developed the fact that he had none of them but had very inferior and defective cotton hose which was selling at this price. His answer to complaint was that he simply advertised to get people in his store. He would then sell them something.
 It is indeed well that such fake advertise ments are to be done away with, and that the purchasing public is to know that merchants have the goods they advertise.

 There are fine set of mercantile houses in Birmingham. Just good goods are made and sold here in any other city of America.
 *
 Every householder in Birmingham can get quality and prices here the same as elsewhere. So why not buy in Birmingham? The news papers will in time eliminate the fakers; and Birmingham merchants as well as all other classes of people in Birmingham will get on Il sound basis.
 Why should not Birmingham present to the country that standard of merit in all things which will make it an example to the country.

TREES

By Joyce Kilmer. I think that shall never see A poem lovely as tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast! A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make tree.

|INED BRACE TALKS ABOUT HONESTY IN
 ADVERTISING AS WE'LL AS OTHER THINGS

@N Friday morning The Age-Herald made t announcement on it's front page for W honesty in advertising.
 It is notorious fact, according to the state ment of some merchants in Birmingham, that other merchants have advertised fake sales.
 There have been advertisements of, mems s75 dollar suits for $25.
 There have been advertisements of $115 ladies' dresses for $35; and all manner of advertisements of this character. In other words advantage has been taken of the credu- lity of both men and women in advertising Women's dresses that cost wholesale $25 and advertised for sale at $35 have been declared of the value of $115. This is all pluperfect rot and no newspaper has the right to permit such in it's advertising columns.
 It is indeed wise that The Age-Herald will demand truth in advertisements just as it does in news.
 The honest merchants will appreciate it, and will aid in the censorship.
 we'll remember many years ago, when first entering the Birmingham newspaper field, that one merchant advertised 1000 dozen of cer- tain brand of mems collars, which then sold for 25c each, at 10c each. Naturally the writer wanted some of those collars at such bar gain, and called to purchase the same. The merchant in question had not one single collar of this brand, but announced that he had just

CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCCESS
 OF KENNEL CLUB SHOW


 The Birmingham Kennel club may we'll be proud of the dog show which ended yesterday and its success should insure an annual event of the kind in Birmingham.
 Never before has Birmingham witnessed P show on so large scale or where so many dogs of merit were placed on exhibition. Prsc- ticaly everyone adnnires and loves dogs and when 300 animals of the class assembled Fri day and Saturday are brought together it is a rare treat
 Many people outside Kennel club circles have not realized the excellence and variety of dogs owned in Birmingham. The show just completed gave opportunity to take stock. It aroused new interest in pedigreed animals. Those in charge deserve high praise for the shows success.
 By all means a kennel club show should become an annual affair in Birmingham.
