The assembly voted to forward to all the governments for their examination and opinion the draft of the treaty of mutual, assistance among the nations, fundamental note of the pact being disarmament in proportion to national security. Although several speakers opposed the text of the treaty, all the delegates held that the project, as a basic effort, embodied a great step forward. a month's session during which the Greco-Italian crisis has been passed through to a final solution of the difficulty, the fourth assembly of the League of Nations adjourned in an atmosphere of optimism the delegates for the today, achievements of the session and firm hope in greater accomplishments for the future. It was made entirely clear by the speakers at the final session that the hope of future was pinned largely on collaboration by the United States, whenever it could be obtained, with the constructive plans of the league, even if the day never should come when America will be actually found among the members. Dr.

Cosme de la Torriente, of Cuba, president of the assembly, in an eloquent valedictory address took America and placed her in definite form before the delegates, declaring that her aid was vastly important for the future of mankind. Spontaneous applause rang in the great auditorium as Dr. Torriente spoke United States and it broke out anew when the Cuban statesman, aiming to show that he did not despair of eventual American adherence, gave voice to this sentiment: "I hope that once an agreement is reached regarding the form and manner of their co-operation with our work, we shall be able to welcome the representatives of that great American nation which gave birth to Washington, Lincoln, Wilson and Harding--that people which represents so powerful a moral and material force in the world and which for that very reason cannot, although it has not ratified the covenana, refuse the league its valuable assistance. "Until that day, I trust, just as American representatives recently collaborated in the settlement of certain questions, so when other problems of world importance rise solution of which the United States can assist us, we shall see them working side by side with us in that high fath and enthusiasm they have always displayed in every kind of disinterested endeavor."

PRICE FI MAGIC CITY WOMAN APPOINTED JUDGE Mrs. Henry Mayfield Named to New Court Seat (By Associate Press.) BIRMINGHAM.

Sept. 29 Mrs. Virginia Henry Mayfield, of Birmingham is the first woman who will hold the office of judge in Alabama. She was appointed associate justice the court of domestic relations of Jefferson county by Governor William W. Brandon and today qualified before, Probate, Judge Stilor.

She will take once. Not only is Mrs. Mayfield the first woman to hold the office of judge in Alabama, but she is the first recognized representative of the Women's Democratic Club in Alabama politics, The appointment of Mrs. Mayfield to the judgeship the recently created court of domestic relations, comes as surprise to the voters of Jefferson county, for she has been prominently mentioned for the position for some time and direct influPence has been brought to bear on the chief executive from all parts of the county from prominent men as well as women. She was admitted to the Jefferson County Bar in 1921, and has handled the legal matters of the county treasurer's office for several years.

The appointment of Mrs. Mayfield is the first victory by the Women's Democratic Club in Alabama in its fight to fill public offices with women. It was pointed out by Mrs. Mayfield that there are 18 judges in Jetferson county, only one of whom vis a woman. There are.

45,316 qualified voters in the county, 18,500 of whom are women. Mayfield is a native of Jetferson county, born and reared in Birmingham and is well known to practically every voter in the county. Although the appointment of Mrs. Mayfield is the first victory of its kind scored by the Woman's Club, it is not the first to be scored in a public way. The endorsement of the creation of a court of public relations and also of the increasing of pensions for Confederate veterans is said to have had a direct bearing on the passing of the two hills by the recent legislature.

Judge Mayfield associated with Judge Samuel D. 1 Murphy. "I that the men of. Jefferson county will approve off my appointment to the office judge of the court of domestic relations and it I had not believed that, I would not have accepted it. The women of the county have had no representative of their own sex in the courts and as the men have eighteen, it is nothing but right, but that a woman should be appointed for the position.

I am grateful and will endeavor to permy duties in a conscientious manner, befitting to one in my position." TO HOLD GRAND JURY. Associated Press.) BIRMINGHAM, Sept. Solicitor Jini Davis will hold over the present Jefferson grand jury until October 9 and possibly October 15 to continue investigation of the Banner prison camp mutiny on September 10.. The incoming grand jury will then take up the inquiry, which will cover every phase of the situation where violation of the law is alleged, Mr. Davis announced today.

What hand sustains them in the emptiness of space. You know that nothing less than the power of an Infinite Spirit is equal to the task of upholding them in that infinity of nothingness to whose extent neither human language nor imagination can reach. The Indian speaks of the Great Spirit beyond the hills; Assyrian worships him before the altar fires of Baal. The infinite Spirit is confined neither to Indian hills nor Baal fires.

LANG, HURST AND HORNE SPEAK TO LOCAL TRAVELERS CAUSES OF PANICS AND THEIR PREVENTION TOLD Rev. Hurst Gives Splendid Talk on the Value of Boosting Whether for Town or Farm. Horne Tells of Travels In Europe and His Observations. Anaiyzing causes of business depres sions before Friday night's regular luncheon meeting of the Traveler's Protective Association, Dr.

George Lang suggested as remedies a reduction of speculation, the building of an economic faith, the getting together of exporters, business, men and speculators, and a campaign of education through the Chambers of Commerce. The Rev. Henry Hurst spoke upon the subject of boosting, and J. T. Borne, the oldest member of the T.

New market must be discovered for business men; statistics must be gathered showing the opportunities of these markets. Exporters, business men and speculators must get together upon balanced policy. Individual success and wealth are now the only polley. And there must be: a campaign of education for the general public through the chambers of commerce. Dr.

Henry Hurst, argued that boosting has its place in every community. Traveling men, he said, are big boosters for business and for their home towns. Boosting is good for a hound dog, and good for a farm, he said; and he showed how an worn-out farm may be boosted oldi, humus and soil foods. Boosting can make a bank, and knocking can break a bank, he said, and boosting can do' much for a newspaper. Tuscaloosa has the best small-town daily in the entire South, he declared.

During the summer travels through the south he was told, Dr. Hurst, said, that he lived in the best town in Alabama. Speaking of his trip abroad, J. T. Horne, who has been a member of the T.

P. A. since 1895, appealed first of all for support for Tuscaloosa: Boy Scouts. The Boy Scout movement was to be found in every country, he said. Night life in Paris was described by the speaker.

The great grape and olive vineyards and orchards which cover thousands of acres were described. Every foot soil in France and Italy to the railroad ties is cultivated, Mr. Horne said, and land which has been cultivated hundreds of years is producing better grain crops than the virgin fields of the United States. Visiting Monte: Carlo, Mr. Horne found the dull season on, but the gaming tables crowded three and four persons deep.

Millions of dollars are lost yearly, he The traveler told of the narrow streets between eight-story, buildings in Genoa, where mirrors are used to light the interior of the rooms. Naples and Vesuvius were discussed, and a tribute was paid to the 75-mile drive along the Mediterranean. There are no idle men in France or Italy, said Mr. Horne, but the English government is feeding thou-. sands and thousands of idle men.

Tribute was paid to the courtesy, and refinement of the French, the men and women of Northern Italy were named as the finest type of manhood and womanhood in all Europe. Birmingham Sunday Schools After Men the BIRMINGHAM. Sept. 29- -Under slogan "Join a Bible Class," the Birmingham Federation of Men's Bible Classes will start out on October bring every male adult in the city into the church for entertaining and instruction on Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

All denominations are working to the common end of enlisting men. There is nothing said about what class or what denomination the men shall adhere to. "Get men in the church." will be the battle cry.
