0MESARE NEEDED .FOR 5O CHILDREN
Every Child Placed Is Given Clean Bill Of Health
 Physically
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ]
 THE AGE-HERALD Mon4nnrnarr Ala Oct 13 1

The Alabama Children's Aid so- ciety has in it's custody about 30 homeseekers, 50 children, ranging from babies, two months old, to bows and girls 15 years old, who are available to be placed permanently in homes of the right kind.
 These children are at present in the various boarding homes of the society in Birmingham and Mont gomery, where they are first taken when brought into the organization little orphans or children, who, in one way or another, have been de- prived of their chance in life.
 People wishing to take any of these children into their homes do not in any way commit themselves to the necessity of legal adoption. Anyone, whose home has been thor oughly investigated and accepted by the child welfare department, may take one of these children into their homes and no child is allowed to be legally adopted under one year, the department holding that this is the minimum amount of time that a family should have a child before making a decision. Even after thls, legal adoption is not necessary, though in most cases this is done, it is stated.
 Every child placed in a home by the Childrens Aid Society is given 6 clean bill of health physically, and no child with any feeble minded heredity or any mental trouble that is known about, is ever placed in a home. At the present time doctors in botb Birmingham and Montgomery are doing wonderful work in getting these children, who, when they came into the society, were nearly all in need of medical attention, into nor- nal condition.
 Attention is further called to the fact that the Children's Aid Society is much in need of winter clothing for children of all ages. The cloth ing to be acceptable must be in good wearing condition, and any kind of clothing in such condition will be gladly received, as there are at least 100 children to be clothed An appli- cation blank for persons desiring to take children into their homes may be obtained by applying to the Chil- drens Aid division.

Bolton Brouun Uniue1sity Of ALabama Student Dies Ot
By I. T. QUINN
Commissioner or Gal And Fisheri

Commissioner Of GaI And Fisheries
 The law of sportsmanship is not found on the statute books of any state. The true sportsman needs no restrictive laws. He does not go afield wondering if he will be for tunate enough to get his daily bag limit. He never "rushes" the esason. He is satisfied with a reasonable supply of game or fish. He ob- serves the unwritten law as eagerly as he adheres to the law on the statute books. For instance, there is no law about getting your bag limit out of one covey of quail, but the ideal sportsman, always leaves few for propagation and If he discovers covey with only four or five he leaves them where he found them. He gives every bird a chance-an even break for it's life.
 But the hunter, who unlawfully takes game or fish or kills birds diminishes the food supply and de- frauds his state and its people. The game hog complains about the open season and the bag limit. He may posses many of the traits of the ideal sportsman but he has yet to learn the primary lessons in conservation.
 100 Per Cent Sportsman.
 A 100 per cent sportsman always, first, procures a hunting license in compliance with the law; second, never takes any game out of season; third, does not exceed the bag limit; fourth, always leaves some for the other fellow fifth, always co-operates with the warden in seeing that the game and fish laws are properly en- forced sixth, feels it is duty to all good sportsmen and to the state to report violations to the proper authorities; seventh, believes in keep ing faith with his fellow sportsmen and holding up the hand of those who administer the conservation laws; eighth, joins the game and fish protective association in his county, and If one does not exist, he will fos- ter it's organization; ninth, he never dynamite or poisons stream for tlsh; tenth, if he catches small game flsh he immediately returns it to the water; eleventh, when he catches enough" he quits; twelfth, he encour- ages the ideals of sportsmanship in his weaker brother and by precept and example hopes to win him; thlr. teenth he will leave fair portion Of the game which he has bagged with the house wife of the landlord who permitted him to hunt.

MOBILE PORT HAS CHANCE TO LAND COFFEE IMP P0RTS
Highly Desirable Latin Ameri- can Business Can Be
 Handled Later On

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 13.-(Special Leased Wire. Mobile is being con- sidered as a port of entry for the coffee crop f Venezuela, Brazil and other South American countries as a result of the passage for the enactment providing for the expen- diture at Mobile of S10,000, 900 for ad- ditionar facilities, declared T. G. Me- Conigal, counsul for the republics to the south, yesterday.
 T have advised officially Brazil, Venezuela and a number of other South American countries which I represent of the passage of the en- abling act said Mir. McGonigal, "and, in turn, have been. queried etxen- sively as to the facilities to be pro- vided here for handling coffee.
 Mobile. coffee growing interests of the republics to the south realize, is the logical port of entry into the United States, especially with con signments for the states of the south east and of the middle west east of the Mississippi.
 "The shipping interests of the port now have only to follow up the lead they have taken and they stand more than an even chance of landing the business In coffee imports that is going, in the main, to New Orleans and New York" The consul bases his opinion on the fact that Mo bile is nearer to centers like St. Louis, Chicago and Cleveland than is New Orleans; that Mobile is 500 miles and up nearer to the South American countries than is New York and that Mobile with increased fa- cilities will be in a position to handle shipments more expeditiously." He al that tba relations hRtWaRn the port of Mobile and of those of the south are extremely friendly and are growing more so.
 A o O
 Conditions Improved.
 Says the consul of conditions in Venezuela, which next to Brazil. is probably the greatest coffee growing country in the world, and of the ship ping service out of Mobile:
 General economic conditions in Venezu1a showed a decided improve ment during September after three months seasonale dullness. Pros poets for large crops of all kinds are excellent. and the merchants in the interior have been buying more freely, while the larger importing merchants have been more liberal in granting credits. Collections are be- coming easier.
 "The coffee market remained firm with small stocks on hand and pros poets for the new crop. which should be on the market in November, are excellent except in the region Of Lara. Caracas superior washed cof- fee was quoted at 70 to 72 bolivars, fine at 66 to 6S bolivars per sack of 46 kilos, or 100 pounds. The Cocoa market was firmer and is quoted in the La Guayra market at 45 boil vars per sack of 50 kilos, or 11o pounds. The bolivar Is quoted at 5.43 to the dollar.
 In view of the excellent shipping service at present between Mobile and Venezuelan ports by both the Page & Jones and the Aluminium Lines, the commerce from Moblle shows a wonderful improvement over the mast wear"
