Birmingham Peo- pie Speak At
 Capital !.

The following comment appearing fin the Montgomery Advertiser will be of interest as Miss Miles formerly re- sided in Birmingham and Mrs. Mur- doch has long been a leader in work of constructive nature along civic lines 5,
 The. lunheon with which the school of citizenship opened on Wednesday was largely attended and quite q sue cess.
 The principal speaker was Mrs. George Gelhorn of St. Louis whose subject was International Co-opera- tion for the Prevention of War.
 Mrs. GelhOrn's personality is so vivid, her speaking voice so perfect. her elOquence 90 convincing and her wit so unexpected that through every minute of her address her audience sat spel1-bound. -
 She stated that there are "A organi. cations in America, working toward this end and as many more across the two oceans. sas35 - < 5.' u, ,
 Mrs. Gelhorn stated that the idea was. not, that of the pacifist who in sistsh.ent, however, sSpsRt .waleRe other hair for the latter 'is of the ate1 1
 variety blown> every which way .r.a sns she thSainHS 1feesesi fSs esla O. .a.serly -lupid if it we're. She. insisted that interna- tional disputes could be settled by in- ternationul law and not by war. An enlightened conscience and an enlight- ened understanding are the only things worth while, she said. , S-te..
 Mrs. Gelhorn deplored the fact that people are as rule inarticulate. She urged her hearers to express an opin- ion,. and to express it so forcefully that even the United States Senate
 She wondered if Lodge and his com mittee who are preventing the dis cussion in Congress of the proposed World court, could not be dismissed. She also stated that many eminent speakers think the World court is merely "a gesture where the murderer is told If it is agreeable. with you, come and be tried." Sis
 The keynote of her address is the necessity of every woman telling her club, her class, her children and even her husband, that war shall be pre- vented by law and not war. She advo- cated pageants and books and songs to glorify peace instead of war.
 She stated that at the great con- vention in San Francisco, that May IS was selected as Children's Day into the minds of the young, and broadcasted over the country.
 Mrs. Charles Bricken, general chair man of the school of citizenship, pre- sided and introduced the speakers. Only a few words of greeting and en- couragement were spoken by each.
 Dave Crossland, P. W. Hodges, Dr. F. c. Howe of the university were the gentlemen presented.
 Miss Myrtle. Miles, formerly of this city,, but now of New York, spoke a few minutes, in the interest of the League for Less Legislation and Less Taxation" which originated in Ohio.
 Mrs. W. l.. Murdoch was introduced. Miss Helen Rocca who will conduct the school of citizenship talked perhaps a minute, but long enough to demon strate the fact that she has glorious voice and a most pleasing personality. WELLS-CHAPMAN t.s

SHARP ADVANCE.
Export Business And Ar
gentine Crop Damage
News Lift Values.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Big export bust
ness with serious crop damage news
from Argentina had much to do with
bringing about a sharp advance In
wheat prices today. On some transact
lions the advance amounted to fully
cents q bushel, compared with Satur-
days finish. Closing quotations for
wheat were, unsettled, ~ to 4Ac net
higher; December, $1.46% @1.46H and
May S1.51A @1.51A, with corn " to y
UP, oats showing " to Y gain, and pro-
visions varying from zoe decline to a
rise Of 10c,
Highest prices of the day in the
at the opening and were partly in re-
Spouse to upturns hich had taken place
at Liverpool and Winnipeg during the
Columbus holiday in Chicago. Aside,
however, from the magnitude OF ex-
port business, said to aggregate 100000
bushels of wheat and 10000 bushels
of rye, the attention Of traders was
directed mainly to advices telling of
drought frost and unreasonable cold
in Argentina with prediction Of a small
er Argentiane wheat crop than last
year.
Scarcity Of wheat. offerings contrast
ing with Hurried efforts to buy were
especially noticeable when today's deal
ings began and just beore the close.
Profit taking sales tended to hold val
ues down.. According to gossip which
was current, talk lately Of foreign re-
selling was due to difficulty in financing
purchases. II was also asserted that
European buyers have been counting
on the southern hemisphere or supplies
at least equal to last seasons quota
lions.
Despite excellent weather to mature
the. corn crop, advances in the price
both of corn and oats resulted from
wheat strength. Some export buying
Of oats was said to have taken place.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Heavy liquida-
ton of stocks in today's curb market
brought about recessions Of to z
