Solid Between Birmingham And Bessenter In Three Years Is
 Latest Prediction

Just normal amount of clear weather" is all Birmingham needs in 1924 to establish building record that will approach the O,00O, 900 mark, in the estimation of J. H. Stin, assistant building inspector.
 "And.rs het predicts further, If the weather man gives us an even break during the Aext two years the entire territory between Birmingham and Bes- semer will be dotted with homes and other permanent buildings"
 Still has been studying building. and building trends, and other things like that for 20 years. He says Birming- ham is going west" and he says also that the city, and its environs right now is experiencing building boom of greater proportions than he has ever witnessed.
 Mir. Still, stays in his car most of make inspections of construction work.
 I've never seen anything like it." he said Wednesday. I've are growing Dy leaps dHU DDuHoss anu the western section is growing so fast that I can hardly keep up with 1t. We'll be solid all the way to Bessemer in two or three years, and when that happens we'll have to take in Bessemer as a part of Birmingham proper"
 There are many city officials and private individuals who agree with Still. Two of them are Inspector J. E. Spencer and Claude Kendrick. his chief clerk. They confidently predict building record for 1924 that will startIe the whole country.

 To Build Road

 Too Much Construction
 Too much construction work in the neighborhood of Kildare, the winter home of Miss Virginia Mccormick, was given as the reason for Miss McCor- mick's change of plans and departure for California today. Miss Mccormick and members of her household arrived here several days ago with the inten | tion of spending the remainder of the winter and all the spring months here. as is the annual custom. In former years the Kildare estate has been 1 rather quiet, although it is located on one of the busiest, streets in north Ala bama. Not far from the front gate of the estate the Lincoln Cotton Mill cor. poration is building S2,OO0,OO0 plant and dozens of houses for operatives. Miss Mccormick, it was said did n0t want to be around when this work wa, going on. so she is off to California tt spend the time she expected to spent here.

KEEP Fl E LOCKED UP!

FEEL FINE, - Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, STAY
Nv ers of Robert Franks, declared when they were re-
turned TO jail after they had heard Judge John r. Caverly SEN
tence them to life in prison.
Two 19-year-old boys feel fine when they look ahead to long
lifetimes surrounded by stone walls and metal bars!
They dom realize the meaning of such a sentence. They
except for the very short time since they were arrested for the
murder of Bobby Franks.
Thus far their experience has been in the nature of a new
thrill to them. But we venture that the thrill will be taken out
of the experience after a few years at Joliet.
No good purpose would have been served by hanging these
boys. They undoubtedly would have gone to their deaths with
the same spirit of bravado they displayed when they were SEN
fenced.
But, unless we are sadly mistaken, a few years will see the
disappearance of this spirit and they will begin to realize the
seriousness of their crime-that is, unless they are totally de-
PRAYED.
Leopold and Loeb should be kept in prison. They are not
fit to be members of society. Judge Caverly bias taken every
precaution possible as a judge to see that they do stay behind
bars. He gave them what amounted to life sentences on two
charges, murder and kidnapping.
Besides, he said:
''The court feels it proper to add a final word concerning
the effect of the parole law upon the punishment of these de-
PENDANTS. In the case of such atrocious crimes, it is entirely
to admit these defendants to parole. To such a policy the court
urges them strictly to adhere. If this course is observed, the
punishment of these defendants will both satisfy the ends of
justice and safeguard the interests of society"
These words should be printed on a large placard and post
ed in the Statehouse at Springfield that future Governors and
future pardon boards may read and act accordingly.

POLITICS AS 1T Is PLAYED

lNDIANA is being treated to another demonstration Of
l the manner in which politics is being played. This time
it is reaching into one of the most vital parts of the State gov
eminent, the public schools.
A group of teachers has brought serious charges against
DR.. H. Noble Sherwood, Republican nominee for State superin-
tendent of public instruction. The group is composed to a large
extent of teachers who are active in politics, men and women
who are busy mixing campaigns and education.
They appealed to the Republican committee, which after
due consideration decided the charges were not well founded,
although some of them are of record in the office of the State
superintendent of public instruction.
The committee found that "the charges are made in a spirit
of vindictiveness and are not substantiated by facts"
So Sherwood is to stay on the ticket. Perhaps this is
justified and perhaps it is not. We have the word of a group
of teachers, headed by a relative of a defeated candidate for
the Republican nomination for Governor, on one side, and the
Republican committee on the other.
This situation is designed to give the public a great deal
of confidence in the sincerity of everyone involved and is just
another reason for voting for the Democratic State ticket.

Secretary of League of
Women Voters Promotes
Movement.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART

ca ASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
l\xJI National Woman's Party is
III not at all satisfied with what
the political groups generally have
given to women in the way Of can
didates of their own sex for the
coming campaign.
The National League of Women
Voters is non-partisan, but it de-
p~recates the idea of any party align
ment in the country according to
sex. The women's organizations Of
both the Republican and Democratic
camps are working to bring ONE
to the support Of their respective
tickets. Among the ~Progressives
men and women are acting nor
completely in partnership than at
Republican or Democratic headquar-
ters. Progressive women also. how
ever, like the others, are opposed to
sex groups.
But the National Woman's Party
leaders have taken the position all
along that women must get to-
gether" if they want to accomplish
much.
The recent primaries. they say,
have proved this conclusively.
Miss Alice Paul. the party's vice
president. points out that. through
out the whole country. congressional
nominations have gone to only six
women and these only in three
States.
a4rrba nou1o-o+- - ~Lo sh,,.o
given no woman a nomination. The
Republicans nominated two, but in
districts where it is admitted that
they have no chance 10 win. The
Prohibitionists have nominated
three; the Socialists one.
This shows that women will not
be elected to the next Congress with
the backing Of any political party.
They will be elected only If women
themselves determine that women
shall be in Congress and organize
an effective campaign to put them
there"
A women for Congress" cam
paign is just what the National
Woman's Party is launching.
Miss Mabel Vernon. the party's
executive secretary. is already in the
West on this mission. She will
visit California. Colorado. Iowa, Ne
0raska, Wisconsin. Illinois and
Michigan 10 promote independent
political activity by women in these
states. Other workers will begin
tours Of the country on the same
errand within a few days.
