When Eve brought woe to all mankind
Old Adam called her woman.
When she wooed with love so kind
He then pronounced her woo-man.
But now with folly and with pride
Their husbands pockets trimming
The w. IN are so full OF whims
That men pronounce them wimmen.

Movement To Bridge Tennessee
 RiUer At Decatur Is Reuiued

It was pointed out at the meeting that never before has automobile traffic across the Tennessee river here been as heavy, as 1t is now and every indication Is that the traffic will increase as additional units of the great highway system are fin- ished.
 Under the present plan it would be necessary it is said. for a toll to be charged on all persons crossing the bridge and when the subject was up for discussion several years ago, many declared that the bridge would be big paying proposition. At that time the plans for the bridge had reached an advanced stage, but soon afterward the financial depression came and 1t was temporarily shelved.

It would serve to in- crease the facilities of the Bee Line highway, ferries being depended on at present to handle the constantly growing tourist travel across the stream,

DECATUR TO BUILD
 ANNEX TOHOSPITAL
Three Counties Asked To Join In S60,000 Drive For
 Benevolent institution
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Decatur, Ala, Nov. 21


 Definite plans for construction of an annex to the present Benevolent hospital building LOW are under con- Eideration b. officials of the insti- tuition and tentative blue prints have been submitted, Mrs. E. C. Payne, one of tho prime movers in the hospital movement, announced Wednesday.
 It is estimated the annex will cost in the neighborhood of $6O,000 and be 43 feet wide and 13s feet long with accommodations for 50 patients. It would include me morial to pr. M w. Murray. beloved local physician, who lost his life in q fall from 8 Louisville and Nash ville train near Columbia, Tenn, more than a year ago. The annex is badly needed, as the present building which serves a large section of north Alabama. is badly crowded. The new structure would have a Complete laundry and heating plant. It would include homes for the nurses and 8 maternity ward.
 The Benevolent hospital was built about 10 years ago by the Benevolent society, assisted by public subscrip- tions. Gradually additional equip mont has been added due largely to the untiring efforts of the members of the society. Recently 8 campaign was conducted to raise funds to re- tirS the indebtness of the institu- tion. This campaign was very suc- ceSsful, the general public in the counties of, Morgan, Limestone and Lawrence realizing the immense benefit the hospi.a has been to them.
 All the three counties will be ask l to participate in the new campaign , now planned to raise the funds neces- sary to begin construction of the new wing. Notwithstanding the fact that the hospital turns no one away and is called upon to give accommo- dations' to many patients who are un- able to pay, it's operation has been 8 financial success.
