The protest In another column
against permitting taro patches, rice
fields and other swamps to exist in city
limits comes from a physician who
hides a high professional reputation be-
hind a nom de plume. He says that
these marshes breed malariai fevers as
we'll as mosquitoes and he is right. We
do not doubt that a three mile limit
for water farms would be conducive to
a lower death rate.

The San Francisco Board of Health
I'd a good thing when 1t passed an
ordinance compelling landlords to
clean and fumigate any house that they

nlcable diseases a few days before.

The statement that Goebel of Ken

the man he murdered some years ago,
is not irrational. The Sanford hcmi-

Austin Dobson's brief tribute to the
Queen, just published, will strike a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of her
faithful people everywhere:
Who can dwell with greatness? Great
ness is too high;
Flowers are for the meadow, suns are
for the sky.
All! but there is greatness in this land
of ours
High as is the sunlight, humble as the
flowers!
Queen, of thee the fable! Lady, thine
the fate!
Royal, and yet lowly; lowly. and yet
great
Great in far dominion, great in pomr
of years
Greater still as woman, greatest in thy
tears.

Mrs. Zac Smiths Party Will
 Sail for Europe in July

Mrs Zac Smith will chaperone a charm ing party of young women who are going abroad this summer. They will sail July 14 steamers of the Hamburg American line. The party will return in the autumn, sail- ing from Naples by the North German Lloyd line. Their visit to England will of course include the sights of London town. A delightful feature will be a glimpse Of the old university town of Oxford, with a coaching trip ito Blenheim. The party will spend two weeks in Paris. Belguim, Ger many ipcluding the historic Rhine, Switz- erland<and Italy will also be visited Among the many charming journeys will be the ride over tine Tete Noire with it's far-ex- tending views of the Rhone Valley and the Savoy Alps, with grand ravines and sudden precipitious slopes in full view The Simp- lon road was constructed by the first Ma poleon its construction required six years and eighteen million francs. No words, 1t is said, can do justice to the varied experi- ences of this days travel, as 'the eye wan ders over snow and glacier, fractured rock and roaring cataract relieved only by that stupendous monument of human labor, the road itself winding along the edges of the precipices."
 The party who are going over with Mrs. Smith are quite fortunate, since her fre- quent visits to Europe make her fully quail flied to direct tour that, while embracing all the sights and scenes, will be not weighted with the numerous disadvantages incidental to the first passage across the Atlantic Mrs. Smith will be assisted in the management of her tour by her son, MT. Zac Smith, Jr., who went over last year with his mother.

Birmingham Women at
 The Cooking lectures

Miss Haxworth's free cooking lectures the past week have been extremely popular, and owning to their success they will be continued through Wednesday of this week.
 There will be a special lecture Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. On Thursday after noon Miss Haxworth has been invited by the president of the Woman's club to give a lecture at the club to which all Birming- ham women are cordially invited. Miss Haxworth will speak upon her work in Lon don in connection with the training of girls in domestic service, and hints for the prop CT selection of foods.
 The popularity of the lectures has been in the practical manner with which Miss Hax- worth discusses and demonstrates her methods of cooking. She makes it possible for every woman who attends her lectures to make success of any recipe that she may subsequently, attempt in her own Kitchen. Among the deliciously prepared delicacies that Miss Haxworth has used in her demonstrations have been pastries and savory dishes, rice mullins, ginger bread, creamed calves brains, soups salads, bis cults, chicken croquetts, with mushroom sauce; cream puffs, brown bread. Tomor- row afternoon the demonstration will in- clude the preparations of potato scones, cheese strams and oyster tim bales.

 This entertainment will be a reproduction of one given for charity last season in San Francisco, and was the society event of the year. A number of the beautiful women in the state took part in the tableaux and picture drills. Mrs. Saunders gave four numbers at the California production
 The Chicago university has engaged her to go on the road next season with this Grecian entertainment and open the lecture courses in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana

Miss Rumph to Study
 With Lszare in Paris

Miss Alice Rumph will be a pupil of La zares. It is probable that she and Miss Gockel will leave tomorrow for New York, whence they will sail for England on We'd nesday. Miss Gocl1el will proceed at once to Berlin, and Miss Rumph will go direct to Paris where she will live at the American Girls club in the IAutin Quarter
 In speaking of her work yesterday, she said that it was her desire to begin study ing at once before the demoralzation of summer had fallen upon the Parisian stu dios.

She did not at first comprehend his mean ing and when later on it dawned upon her that he and Mrs. Munger had offered her the opportunity of studng in Berlin, she could even then scarcely comprehend it all. It had been her dream for years.
 When it was finally settled that she was to go, there was one supremely happy American girl. The only request that was made of her was that she lose as little time as possible in making her preparations to sail. Already letter from her present master has preceded her to Scarwenka, under whom she will study Mir. Gucken- berger was @ pupil of this great master "I send her to you," he wrote Scarwenka. ''If there is any truth in what you said or me when I left you, she is an exponent. Miss Gockel is a protOge of Alr. Gucken- berger. 'tHow well I remember when she came to me first he said recently. "l was teaching at the Cincinnati College of Music. She was a little thing in short skirts and with her hair braided. When l came to Birmingham six years ago she followed us here and now she is going to study under my former master, Xaver Scarwenka, in Berlin"
 Miss Gockefs advantage in having studied under the same teacher in this country will be superior to that of many other Arneri- can girls. The great American custom of changing teachers is said to be the greatest drawback to the musical develop ment of this country, and American stu dents abroad soon realize the disadvantage of having frequently changed teachers.
 Miss GoclQel and bhe party with whom she will sail, it is understood will go first to England, idhence across the channel. She will begin her plano work at once under Xaver Scarwenka, studying theory and composition under Felix Scarwenka.

A Woman in the Case.

good story on Birmingham's basket ball team is being told, although the boys in blue and white are not discussing it pub licly "A woman was the cause of it all,' said a member of the Athletic club.
 Earlier in the basket ball season, so the story runs, when the Birmingham team was making one of its trips to neighbour ing city. the young Birmingham woman was visiting in the city in question, and was an enthusiastic champion of the Bir- mingfham team. She went to the game be- decked in blue and white colors. and her decided applause, and the winsome sweet ness of her smile-so one of Birmingham s sentimental guards said-oaused that team to come out of the contest victorious.
 The chlvalrc hearts of the Birmingham team were touched. Such zeal and devo- tion to the colors, they said, merited their undying admiration; even to the extent of a five-pound box of the best candy they could buy when they returned to Birming- ham, Yes. each of these tendet 'hearted youths gave his pro rata,' and the box appropriately decorated in the club colors, was duly purchased awaiting presentation to the young woman when she should come back to Birmingham.
 About the time of her return, however, the team from the city that had been the scene of the young wornan's patriotism, also came to Birmingham to play 9 return game. To the consternation of the Br- mingham boys. their fair little mascotte of the previous occasion appeared at the game @ genuine "rooter" for the visitors She said they "had been so nice" to her when she was in their city, that she "just had to yelr' for them. etc.
 Fortunately a little oversight had pre- vented the big box from being delivered, as had been arranged, and now, so the story runs, every night after practice the Birmingham team go off to a secluded of- flee where they munch on candy and muse on the frailty of womankind."
