IN THE NATURE OF A TIP
 (TNn1aIN ploI.A

A Californian proposes that the immi- grafton laws be revised so as to let four women come into the country to three men. His argument Is that in the West women "are having too many men to play off one against the other The preponderance of males he says, is working great hard ship upon us men. especially when we look around for d good woman 10 marry or em- ploy.' There may be something in what the Californian says. If there is it is a good tip to the women. It ought to make them join forces to keep the immigration laws as they are.

 z Are the ladies losing their finesse, that they should feel the need of using pistols in taking money away from men? Those attractive girl bandits who, in increasins number. are crowding into the daily news columns suggest an atavism to crudeness For centuries women have taken their toll of mans earning, frequently not leaving him even tithe to remember himself by By their charming ways they have made man enjoy being held up and compelled to stand and deliver. Women long ago found out that the key to mans heart is also key to his purse. Use of a pistol in re- lieving men of their cash is not necessary and any girl who uses one casts a reflection upon her own charm. There! 1s~

From a Newcomer

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Please allow myself and family the use of your valued paper in order to express our admiration and pleasure as newcomers to your fair city. After hav- ing travelled all over the United States very extensively we moved here from Baltimore several months ago, and want to say right now there isn't finer town in the country than Birmingham, Ala With its wonderful industries, natural resources close at hand, wide streets and thoroughly modern business and residence sections, we are looking forward to being very happy here. Your churches, schools, stores and people are as fine as can be found anywhere, and with the installation of your new traffic system, it proves the city fathers are a wide-awake bunch.
 There is only "one fly in the oint. ment." Why in Heavens name do your automobiles use such glaring headlights at night? With your wide, smooth streets it's absolutely unnecessary, be- sides being extremely dangerous to cari coming in the opposite direction, as wei as pedestrians being confused. There are many towns that have banned any thing but mild yellow lights for nigh driving, and it's also against the law in nearly all Northern towns to allow cars to be parked without their red ligh in the rear burning at all times. Were these two evils remedied I feel sure strangers within your gates would nor, fully enjoy riding at night. As it ii those dazzling headlights have caused u numerous scafes during our stay here and as we are here to become one O. you, hope you will take my friendl! littl ecriticism in the right spirit ant make it safer for all concerned by dim ming headlights at night and lighting ul parked cars in dark streets.

GERMANY's SUFFERING CLASSES

(From Philadelphia Public Ledgef1 Q,
 In statement about the needs ot the 100000 starving children in Germany. Dr. Haven Emerson makes reference to the par ticularly unfortunate situation of the families of artists, physicians and people of that class In this he confirms reports from other investigators recently returned from Ger many. The worst suffering has not been among the farmers, nor even the majority Of working people, but among those persons who depend for their living on the results of their education. These include government em- ployes professors and teachers, engineers, doctors, artists, musicians, authors aud even many lawyers. With the impoveriShment of the former moneyed classes, including all who lived on rents or interest came great de- cline in the demand for the services of such persons Their small savings were for the most part wiped out as a resulH of the depre- citation of the currency, and their pay did not increase in proportion to the rise in prices and the decline in purchasing power of the paper mark. Scientists found thheselves without the means of buying, the necessary equipment for their laboratory work. Doctors found their patients unable to pay them. Teachers could not afford to purchase books Musicians could get only few pupils, and artists found no market for their wares
 When the full story of the decline of the mark comes to be written, it will be shown that therein day the true tragedy of Germany lneSe people repreSenCeu WuhL was UcSt HI Germany's cultural life. Their training was the prodfct of generations of preparation. Their children, whom they had hoped to bring up to follow in their footsteps, are in great want, and the task of educating them seems almost hopeless. The teaching force of Germany as a whole is badly crippled with consequent effects on the en- tire educational system.
 Dr. Emrson brings out another point that is too often overlooked Although most of the present trouble comes from the currency collapse. malnutrition extends back to 1914 During the war at several times food ration ing was intense. Since then, although certain foods have' been plentiful, the shortage oi fats and dairy products-Of which Germany has never produced enough-has continued As result many persons have been eating an unbalanced ration for a long period. To this must in part be attributed the incraesed susceptibility to diseases such as tuberculosis which Dr. Emersan reports.
 The experience of Austria, which like Ger many went through a period of acute sui fering, has shown how rapidly conditions i'm prove with the restoration of sound cur rency and the revival of business life. Where Austria Is months ago faced annihilation today she is able even to contribute to the support of hungry German children. The re covery should be fully as rapid in Germany once reconstruction begins.

Realize That He Was Right lMOntgOmery Iournan

After four years Americans now under
 stand that Woodrow Wilson was right and that partisan politics took advantage of the opportunity provided by the postwar, pc
 riod to take the attention of the people from the Wilson program, and there have been excellent indications in recent months that the United States will assume it's responsi
 bility as one of the worlds great nations and become member of the League of Ma, tions. The regrettable thing now is that Wilson could not live to see the American people take this step.

A Wilson Monument Suggestion

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I read in the News the other day where Dr. E. P. Hogan had written a letter to The Age-Herald; Post anl the Birmingham News, that he was giving $50 to these papers to build a fund for a monument of the deceased Woodrow Wilson. The Pratt City school suggests that every pupil in the Birmingham dis trict should donate twenty five cents at least. We think that everybody would be honored to think that they would be giving money for the monument of the man that gave his life for his coun- try. This is merely a suggestion. thank you.

eAhead of His Time
. (Florence Times)

Denied the privilege of even the attempt to carry out his beneficent vision for world peace and harmony, broken down under the strain of overload, and stripped of his political power, even to the end his words or his ap- pearance were given greater recognition than any other man of the day. As the news of his inevitable departure from earthly scenes became known throughout the world, a gen. uine feeling of grief and loss was everywhere expressed, and a sense of world-loss is felt today in the death of a man sometimes said to be too far ahead of his time

Ills Spirit Transferred ITalla ,lara nailv IIomaA

Yes,. Woodrow Wilson is dead, at least the mortal part of him. And still when we talk and love to think of the great spirits that have dominated American history, is it not cheering to think, and know that the spirit of Woodrow Wilson has simply been transferred into the great Spiritual Courts that are to direct and guard our country through the ages?

Suffered For Others


 It has been said that only the hearts that have suffered are greatly beloved and it is because he suffered for others that Woodrow Wilson's place in the affections of his coun- trymen will be enduring He lacked the hur manity of Lincoln, but he had the faith of a martyr; the zeal and courage of a cru- sader, love that was impersonal, but all- embracing; and for these things he will be remembered.

BIRMINCHAM's FINE CREDIT

Selling one hundred and fifty thou sand dollars worth of five per cent, ten-year public improvement bonds at a premium of twenty-six hundred dollars is another evidence of the community strength in the opinion of the purchaser. Bond-buyers as a rule are not only con- servative, but they inform themselves of municipal and industrial conditions in connection with their investments, and especially those of public character.
 That Birmingham can float its securi- ties under such favorable conditions speaks we'll for the public credit, and for conditions on which it is founded. Security is the first consideration with investors. It fixes the price, as well as the interest rate. These Birmingham bonds are firmly entrenched behind property values, and are thus floated with comparative ease upon favorable terms.
 In this connection it may be recalled that short-term bonds, other. things be- ing equal, usually bring smaller price than those running for long period. That would appear to make this sale even more encouraging to those who are interested in the city's credit.

Martyr to Great Cause (Opelika NeWs)

He was martyr to a great cause, what he considered the greatest cause. In peace and in war history will accord honor to Woodrow Wilson, but, as he would wish it, his interest in and efforts for peace, world wide peace, will be given most acclaim. In his death the nation mourns the loss of a great American, one of its most beloved citizens

Will Live Through Ages

Woodrow Wilson will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest, and with the passing of the years it will be realized that the principal reason he was not given proper recognition was that the world had not ad- vanced as far as had Woodrow Wilson. His physical life is no more. but his spirit and ideals will live through the ages.
