Editor of The Age.Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In regards to F. A. Yates, he sure talks funny. He says if Ford gets Muscle Shoals we would be selling our birthright We would sure be selling it if the Alabama Power Company gets it. Ford is an American. Ford is the only man to have Muscle Shoals. Nine out of every ten want Ford. The big trusts are the only ones that don't want him to have Muscle Shoals. What does Wall Street care for the poor people? They al. ready have their living. The South is forty years behind the North. We all want Ford. Give somebody else a chance. We see what the past has been Now let's let Ford have it and see what he will do I know he will do more than has been done. Senators liar rison and Heflin sure can see right. hope we can get men like them as our leaders Everybody is for them that hear speak and I am in business where I hear lots of talk. l hope when this business comes to a vote the senate will have enough men like Sena- tors Harrison and Heflin to put the Ford bill through for us Southerners.

Choose Your Line Now!

Some assorted careers for the young man. bank president is a very good suggestion for a young man who likes his leisure. All you have to do is to deny strenuously that you ever play golf during the week, and get to the office each day by 12 o'clock so that you may leave before lunch. You are ex- pected to have either a beautiful daughter who will eventually marry a clerk (see .Ca- reers for Clerks"), or else wayward son who will eventually marry chorus girl (see Careers for Chorus Girls').
 Directions for Bank Presidents:
 In order to be president of bank you must start in to polish things at the age of nine, and be around the bank at all odd hours, before anyone else is awake, even the night-watchman, scrubbing the brass rails in front of the paying teller or brightening the little cuspidors.
 At sixteen opportunity will knock in one of two ways (a) You will interrupt q bold at tempt of robbers to enter the bank, from which you will receive lacerations of the scalp and nasty bruises about the shine; or (b) You will unite the acting president just as he is about to be blown up with nitro-glyce- rine (compound fractures and general run down and grippy conditiOn). From then on you either get the job or you don't.-Corey Ford.

THE TUBERCULOSIS sANATORIUM

Announcement that work will begin at once on the Jefferson county tuberculosis sanatorium, following awarding of contracts, means far more to the progress and welfare of this community than the average citizen realizes. The construction was made possi- ble by lberality of the people through do- nations, and maintenance will be. provided by appropriations from the county and city. These donations are in no sense a bounty. They constitute a wise investment to bring large and permanent returns which will be shared by the entire community.
