of the state of HildaIgo is now in charge
of the national palace. The city council
turned over its authority to him late yes

Several small skirmishes which took
place in the outskirts of the city resulted
in the killing of Zapata stragglers.
> Business remains paralyzed because of

paper money is genuine. Saloons and
dance halls have been closed by general
order. There were no disturbances in the
city proper today.
w So far but one foreigner is known to
have lost his life during the lighting.
Julian De La Traz. a Swiss, is reported
to have been shot by followers of Zapata

[ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mutual Fire Insurance Companies
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
I have been reading the letters of Mr |
J. H. Hard, published in The Age-Herald. >
with a great deal of Interest. We note
in his letter today that he gives mutual
fire Insurance companies quite a boost. If
mutual companies are best for the people,
they have never been able to show it.
Take one of the companies he mentions
In his letter, the Farmers' Mutual of Ala
bama. This company has been out of
business all this year on account of finan
cial difficulties and have numerous claims
and Judgments unpaid, and if they aie
able to handle their business, so much
better than the large stock companies,
and keep their losses so low, as he would
lead you to believe. It is strange that
they cannot make a success and pay their
losses. For the man that pays the prem
ium, it Is undoubtedly better for him to
take his Insurance In the old and tried
companies, even If he has to pay a little
larger premium, and collect Ills insurance
In case of loss, than to risk the smaller
stock companies and mutual companies,
some of which have no capital, snl c >m
promlse his claim In event he has a fire—a
great many times being unable to recover
anything. Some years ago Birmingham
had a mutual fire Insurance company, as
people Interested In Insurance will remem
ber. Where is it today? "Busted," as is
the case nine times out of ten Mutual fire
Insurance companies as a rule do not suc
ceed. and rve sincerely trust that the law
makers will give them no encourage
ment. Respectfully, W. R. YOUNG.

Reading the Lips
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
See column one. pare five. Issue of July
12, The Age-Herald: "Possible to read
lips at distance by proper training."
The writer of the article has evidently
overlooked the fact that lip reading is
now taught In schools for deaf mutes
The Institute for Deaf and Dumb at Mt.
Airy. Philadelphia, uses the method. It
might be interesting to your readers to
have, an article prepared on the subject
of "Visable Speech" (note the spelling.
"Visable” and not "Visible.")
This method not only teaches lip read
ing, but the symbols for the speech may
be read by the pupil. The method of lip
reading can he learned by those who
have lost hearing.
Many of the deaf are taught to speak
by this mthod when other methods would
fail. A teacher of this method can read
ily read the lips of another at a distance,
particularly where some idea of the con
versation is given by the probable topic.
The writer is not an expert, but can
read the lips of persons who make dis
tinct movements of lip and tongue A
recent amusing Incident was the detection
at a distance of about 40 feet of a re
mark made by a young lady as I entered
an office: "For the love of Mike, look
who's here." This was partial lip read
ing and partially an idea of the missing
syllables. It works much as a skilful
stenographer will read his notes when a
point or two is obscure.
Trusting that this letter may be of
service, respectfully,

Cotton Crop in the South
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
One of the most Important questions
for the south today Is, what are we
going to get for oqr cotton this com
ing fall?
The farmers and the south were in
good shape when the war broke out
in Europe. They had been getting good’
prices for cotton. But conditions have
changed. England secured her supply
of cotton around 6 cents. The south lost
about $600,000,000 compared with for
mer prices in last year's cotton crop.
While England secured her supply
around B cents Germany was paying
around 20 cents. England's embargo
against our shipment of our cotton to
Germany and Austria Is the main
cause of our extreme low price of cot
ton.
England formerly declared cotton
noneontraband of war, but has re
versed herself since the war is on. In
ternational law recognizes cotton as
noncontraband. Owing to England s su
perior navy she contros the sea In
this war and she has closed the ports
of her enemies.
Wheat, corn and other grain are
making the farmers of the north and
west rich. War implements, munitions
and manufactured machinery are mak
ing those men of the northeast
wealthy, while the south Is being
robbed. The south as to national af
fairs Is bearing the war burden of the
nation. England ran afford to pay the
high prices for wheat and other grain
as well as for war Implements and
niuntioti when In turn she gets her
cotton around half price
The government report shows a
prospect of only a little over 12,000,000
hales. Under ordinary conditions this
year's crop ought to sell around 15
cents, hut England's embargo will pre
vent the sale of cotton only to herself
and allies.
What are we going to do fthout it?
It is up to our representatives and sen
ators frotn the cotton states to do
what they can I believe, with our Sen
ator Bankhead and Congressman Hef
Un. that an embargo should be de
clared on shipment of arms and am
munitions lo Great Britain. I would
include mules, horses and food sup
plies unless she lifts the embargo on
our cotton. I believe that would have
the desired effect. England needs our
supplies and munitions and can't get
along well without them. Make it re
ciprocal. Deal with England on friend
ly but positive terms and cotton. T am
sure, will go to all points of Europe,
and the south be saved from bank
ruptcy. She can’t stand such a slump
agaUi. A repetition will ruin her. She
is in a strain from the past year’s
slump. I believe an extra session of
Congress to deal with England and
the situation would bring results. The
south has nothing to lose In a war
if she gets no relief I am not crit
icizing our congressmen and senators,
but I crave a thicker ehade of the
shadows of Webster. Clay and Cal
houn. May those shadows fall athwart
the trail to the capitol at Washing
ton and our country made to realize
that we are truly independent of the
British government and owe her no
allegiance. M. F. PARKER.

Ned Brace and Neutrality
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
It was quite refreshing to read your
editorial in Ned Brace's corner. Sunday's
edition of The Age-Herald, with regard
to the German note. At a time when
white-hot. unreasoning passion is finding
an outlet in other journals, even in our
city, it is indeed good to find one editor
who can calmly view the situation in its
proper light, and give credit where It is so
plainly due.
W© should not forget that we are
Americans, not subjects of Great Britain,
and have no right to champion their side
of the question, and utterly Ignore another
nation's plainly evident good intentions,
as quite a number are doing.
Great Britain has committed a series of
flagrant violations of neutrality laws, with
little or nothing said or done about it.
but we are disposed to hold Germany to
a strict accountability for everything, even
for the unavoidable accidents or incidents
that are liable to occur in any war. when,
those who are neutral (or supposed to be!
insist on getting in the way.
Tom Heflin has pointed out a breach of
neutrality upon England’s part, affecting
30.000.000 southern farmers seriously, and
so far there is little disposition to do any
thing about it. In fact. wre are blinding
ourselves to the faults of Great Britain
purposely, while we are ready to criticize
harshly every move Germany makes, and
thus lending moral support to the allies.
This is not in any sense neutral.
The American people as a rule are a
deep thinking people, who believe in a
square deal, and this major element will
not be draw-n Into this horrible European
vortex of war because of the clamor of
the minor or jingo element.
“There’s a reason,” and we do not have
to go far to find it. .
An order for $750,000,000 worth of war
supplies from England furnishes the an
swer. We blind ourselves to truth and
human feeling for the sake of English
gold. Shame on us, and our hypocritical
prayers for peac©.
England did not hesitate to buy Italy
with $1,000.00)!.000 in gold, and cause her to
violate a treaty of 3ft years’ standing. Is
it possible that the same thing is beinfi
worked over here? It looks that way.
We may have a legal right to sell mu
nitions to those warring countries, but
most assuredly we have no divine or
moral right, and all right thinking people
concede that we should be governed by
the latter In preference to the former for
humanitarian reasons. .
Germany, with her back to the wall, is
fighting with a desperation and patriotism
never equalled in history, and against
fearful odds, and already her fingers are!
tightening around England's throat, and
in her extremity and w-ith her usual craft
iness she is endeavoring to draw others
into the conflict to save herself.
Have w-e fallen so low In the scale of
humanity as to listen greedily to the
clink of English gold, and turn a deaf
ear to the square, manly, heroic people
who have not tried to involve us, and
who ask nothing of us. save to keep out
of the way of danger?
I am a thoroughbred American, and
southerner, no hyphen in my name or
blood, but T do not desire to see our high
ideals of manhood shattered for the sake
of a grasping, inhumane greed that pre
fers furnishing war material for money
Instead of bending our energies toward
cutting off those supplies and thus end
ing the awful struggle.

Tough Times for Farmer
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
A copy of the article appearing In this
mornings Age-Herald, from Mr. W. H.
Kettlg, should be sent to all congressmen,
senators, and the President of these Uni
ted States, because it goes to the point,
and sets out a good suggestion, and that
is for this country to put an embargo on
ammunition and arms, until England sees
fit to raise her embargo on cotton.
I th'lnk our government should give
more time and attention to the 30,000,000
people here in the south who pay their
share of taxes and contribute more to
cur government than the people who were
lost on the seas within the last few
months, when those people who were
lost could have prevented their destruc
tion, by staying off the vessels they tried
to ride on. But the 30,000,000 people in
the south canno.l help themselves. Our
government is our only help, or should
be, and they should most certainly drop
everything to see that our cotton crop
is not a total loss to us. Just because
England wants to buy cheap cotton. It
teems It would be worth a great deal
more to the United States to help the
southern farmer get 10 to 12 cents for his
cotton, than It would he to get tjennany
to put a stop to her undersea warfare,
because our retail merchants will not be
able to pay the Jobber, and the Jobber
will not be able to pay his saleamen, and
the manufacturers, and so , along the
whole line It must be ruin.
Instead of the President calling an ex
tra session of Congress to declare war
on Germany. It seems it would be far
better to call an extra session to get re
lief from England's embargo, and to see
that the south prospers along with the
balance of the country, and to see that
one section and one country does not
starve the section of country raratng this
great staple—cotton. .
Last year the papers, and everybody
were suggesting all kinds of plans to
help the farmer, but he never got the
help. He was told to not plant cotton, but
plant potatoes, grain and other things he
did not know anything about, so to speak.
This reminds me of telling a. lawyer to
go out and set up a silo, or something he
had heard of, hut did not know anything
about. Well, the farmer to a great extent
planted everything he was told to plant,
and now snap beans cannot be given
away hardly, Irish potatoes are selling
for about 60 cents per bushel, and they
cannot be grown for that. In other words,
there Is no demand for anything the
farmer has grown this year. He is selling
his onlnions for about 1 cent per pound
now, and will be paying 6 to 6 cents per
pound by this late fall, so he gets the
bottom prices for what he produces, and
pays the top prices for what he con
sumes, and with all this our government
Is standing by and letting England take
our cotton at their own price, and tells
us we cannot sell to no one e! ;e. This
seems unfair. Yours truly,
GEORGE C. OLIVER.

Something Wrong in Alabama
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
What is the matter with Alabama?
This state has been blessed by provi
dence with wonderful resources, with its
| large area of good agricultural lands, its
immense deposits of coal, iron and lime
' stone, as well as other minerals, and w ith
its splendid climate, it should bo
the garden spot of the earth, and this city
the workshop of the world. Sufficient
foodstuffs should he raised In this state
not only to teed its own people, but to
help feed the rest of the world. Why Is
it. then, that we are not making greate:
progress and are at this time engaging
in considerable calamity howling?
Is it not owing to the fact that we
are beset with a superabundance of self
seeking politicians who are deluding the
people and abridging our personal liberties
for nothing more than their self-aggran
dizement?
I thing it behooves the good, thinking
people of the state of Alabama to ponder
over this question; we need less laws
and less lawyers, a strict enforcement of
such laws as are now on the statute
books, equal justice to all, poor and rich
alike; we need more business men and
more concerted effort to build up the busi
ness of the state on a ‘solid basis. We
need public officials of high character,
whe are eager’ to benefit the people at
large, and In order to do so. are willing
to lay aside their personal ambitions.
This section does not attract capital the
way It would do otherw ise, neither does it
attract immigration, from the fact that
we are eternally engrossed in political ag
itation. This city should be humming with
numerous mills, foundries and workshops
of various kinds, aud it would he if there
w'ere more concerted effort to bring them
here, and If the political pot were not
kepr forever boiling.
Let us put down the calamity howler
and the self-seeking politician and all get
together for the upbuilding of Birmingham
and the state of Alabama. This will be
patriotism of the sound kind, and by
so doing we shall be performing our share
in the upbuilding of the nation. Why
wouldn’t It be well to amend the constitu
tion of the state and have the legislature
meet once in every 10 years? Business
woulc then have a chance to grow and
the people would have a rest from con
tinual agitation; the antics of our law
makers are enough to impede the wheels
of progress. Yours very truly,
H. W. BEECROFT.

ANNISTON
Anniston. July 18.—(Special.)—Chief
Deputy Sheriff Bert Morgan returned
from Nashville yesterday where he was
pent by Sheriff A. H. Border? to get
Hugh Prater, a negro wanted here for
murdering hip wife several years ago.
Prater is charged with having stabbed
his wife near their home on Furnace Row
and she died from the effects of the
wounds.
The mother and sisters of Lawton Jones,
a 27-year-old man whose home is at S.vla
cauga. have asked the police of all towns
in north Alabama to assist them In find
ing him since he suddenly disappeared
several days ago. Jones’ relatives fear
that he has met with foul play. He is
feet tall, weighs 120 pounds and has brown
eyes. He has black hair, a sallow com
plexion. and wore dark blue serge trousers
and a blue shirt when he disappeared.
President John R Carrington of the
Chamber of Commerce of Anniston ha?
addressed letters to similar organizations
»n practically every city in the south,
asking for a Joint meeting of the presi
dents of the civic bodies at some central
ly located city for the purpose of uniting
in an effort to bring relief to the soutn's
cotton crop. Southern planters and busi
ness men, Mr. Carrington thinks, should
not he made to suffer because of Eng
land's order in council declaring an em
bargo on shipments of cotton any any
country except England, and it is for the
rurpose of bringing the situation forcibly
to the attention of the United States
government that the proposed meeting has
been called.
A number of local manufacturers will
place permanent exhibits in the industrial
exhibit building of the Alabama Power
company in Birmingham. The powrer
company has secured a four-story building
next to the Chamber of Commerce build
ing in Birmingham, and will lease space
to manufacturers in Alabama who are
customers of the company.
The exhibits will be arranged artistical
ly, and a card will be attached to each
article exhibited showing where and by
whom the article was made. Miniature
samples of cast iron pipe m*de by local
concerns will be among the exhibits. Two
white way posts, made in Anniston, will
be kept burning constantly in the Pudding.
Among the local concerns whose products
will be shown in Birmingham are: The
Anniston Fertilizer company, Anniston
Marble and Vault company. Anniston
Knitting mills. Southern Mills corpora
tion. Kilby Locomotive and Machine
works. Calhoun Foundry company. Stand
ard Foundry company, Oxford Oil mills
and the Hale Buggy company.
Shark in Austin Lake
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Austin. Tex.—Charles Mitchell and Roy
Cavanaugh, while tending some cattle on
a farm, which borders on Lake Austin,
have been annopey by attacks on yonng
sheep and calves of a sea monster, sup
posed to be a fresh water shark.
The two boys gave an account of the
work of the monster Saturday afternoon
while they were on a visit to stores in
the city.
"Several times while the cattle were
watering we noticed a projection like the
fln of a shark moving about in the water
of the lake about 50 feet above the shal
low plac • where the cattle stood drink
ing," said Charles, who is the older of the
two boys.
“We have missed several calves and
young sheep from our flock* and have al
ways seen them in the herds shortly be
fore they went to water. For this rea
son we believe that a shark has bees up
to mischief, but we have never known
before of any kind of fish that would at
tempt to kill young calves or young sheep.
"Some negro boys w-ho were in bathing
a. short distance from the land once
occupied by the Austin Rod and Gun
club have told us ’yarns’ about being
chased out of the water by a‘ big Ash.’ Of
course you can’t tell whether the negroes
have really seen the same monster as that
we believe has been ravaging our herds
i or not. At any rate, we are carrying a
shotgun with us to the lake every day
now. and the next time we see the water
move and see the fln sticking above the
water there's going to be something #>
ing."

Leading Citizens Interested
in Various Proposed
Legislation
By HI GH W. ROBERTS
Montgomery. July 13.—(Special >
For the purpose of looking after thc
interests of Birmingham. E. 1). Smith,
[legislative attorney, came to Montgom
ery today. As is known. Birmingham
lias before the legislature several bills
vitally affecting Its continued growth,
one of which is that which would give
the city the right to Increase its rat,'
of taxation in that the proposed re
duction in the city’s public service
might not be long continued. Mr. Smith
will remain in Montgomery during th*'
remainder of the session.
Mrs. O. R. Hundley, advocating the
submission of the equal suffrage
amendment, arrived today. She doesn't
as yet admit that her cause, entrust
ed to the consideration of prohibition
ists. Is hopeless. Many other Birming
ham people have business here and th*'
Magic City is represented in largt
numbers. A delegation of court, re
porters Is on the scene in the hope
of eliminating a section of the Judi
ciary committee's report which pro
vides that no court reporter shall re
i ceive more than $1500 per annum.
Stallings. Brazelton, Evans and oth
ers contend that, that clause, If enact
ed into law. would force them out of
business and would necessitate the
courts employing young and otherwise
Incompetent stenographers.
Engineers Rejoice
| A number of locomotive engineers from
Birmingham rejoiced this afternoon when
the headlight bill by unanimous vote was
put through the house. This hill will force
the Louisville and Nashville and other
railroads not using electric headlights to
j do so on all lines In Alabama within the
[ next 18 months. The bill had previously
passed the seriate. The engineers were
headed by Charles Hall.
A large number of doctors of Birming
ham are paving the way for the passage
of the Hogan bill, which would remove
the medical department of the university
from Mobile to Birmingham. Crawford
Johnson, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, is here for the same purpose.
Incidentally, he is also watching the
movements of those several reformers
who would legislate coca-cola out of busi

To Onen Penny Lunch Rooms
From the Philadelphia Ledger
The board of education has decided to
give penny lunchrooms a trial in 25
schools In the southern section of the
city. This decision was reached after
the elementary schools committee had
reported In favor of the installation of
the lunchroooms
Edwin Wolf, chairman of the finance i
committee, raised a question as to how j
much expense the board of education l
would be compelled to shoulder as the I
result of the experiment. William
Rowen, chairman of the elementary
schools committee, replied that th*
lunchrooms would be self supporting [
and would not cost the board one cont
beyond the expenditure for fixtures.
John Wanamaker favored the Instal
lation of lunchroom* as an experiment.
"It is the cry of humanity and of little
children, he snid.
"If the lunchrooms are self support
ing—and T believe this will be the cmo
