MISS ANNIE KENpRlck WALKER.


 From Dixie Home
 Miss Annie Kendrick Walker. who for over three years has had charge of the social department of the Birmingham Age-Herald. Is one of the brainest writ CTS of the state. Her high social position, her gracious manner and her charm of conversation have made her especially fitted to the place which she occupies so successfully. She is a prominent wo- man, not only. in Alabama, but else where, and frequently serves upon pro grammes of literary and press organiza- tons over the south. The whirl of Bir- mingham's social life keeps Miss Walker always busy. but she has time for every body and everything and her depart ment is ever full of bright, spicy articles. She keeps in touch with all public mat ters, and her concise style and able com prehension of every undertaking places her in the front rank of journalistic writers

In financial circles every one ap- pears nervous over the outlook. They fear that the labor situation Is merely a truce. Consequently there Is no great volume of trading.
 Of course men in the financial world are always timid just previous to a gen- eral election. and until after the Mo- vember election no great increase in values is expected.
 By the way 1t is predicted here that the democrats will carry the house in the congressional election.
 In the state election in New York fear the chances are against Coler, the democratic candidate. The betting is three to one against Coler, and the gamblers are usually accurate. David B. Hill, how ever, thinks he can pull Coler through. in which event Hill would probably enter the presidential contest himself two years hence. But the socialistie coal plank In the state democratic platform has ap- parently proven a fatal blow to the ticket.

Improvement Companies.

''The advance in the price of stocks Of improvement and realty companies here has attracted attention and caused favor able comment" remarked a inancier.
 All of the companies so far as I know, are in sound condition. and the advance in the price of their securities is based on good business management and in trinsic values
 President H. l.. Badham has made 2 success of the Bessemer Land and Im- provement company and the jump in the stock of that company last week did not surprise me. President D. N. Cullom is naturally proud of the fourishing condi- tion of the North Birmingham company. When he took hold of the company North Birmingham was nothing but a slag pile and today 1t is one of the most thriving suburbs of Birmingham. President A. L. Fulenwider of the Birmingham Realty company has seen the stock of his com- pany go from almost nothing to s70 a share.
 While the companies named would have made some progress in these pros porous times, even with poor executive management all that is needed is glance at the quotations of the local stock market to see that the executive heads have pursued businessllke and en- ergetic methods.

Local Merchants and the Fair.

'The Birmingham merchants do not them by the Alabama state fair said President Krebs last night.
 "So far they are apparently lacking In Q knowledge of what the fair Is going to be and they have not made bids for space in the buildings. It Is just the cons trary with the people outside the city. and we have been holding up space for the Birmingham merchants until we can not hold 1t much longer.
 "They need not complain if they fail to get space when they come after it Tues day night or Wednesday morning Out siders are begging for the space and every one of them seems to realize that this Is to be the greatest fair ever held in Alabama.
 "I am surprised at the Birmingham merchants and cannot exactly understand 1t. They evidently do not know that we will have larger crowds here during the fair than have ever been in the city be- fore and crowds which will Denert the city's merchants in the future even if not in the present.
 'We have made a great effort and one that would surprise any one who did not know the conditions. We took hold of the fair when it was dead. and now every debt is paid and we will have the grand est show ever held here. I think it Is time the merchants were waking up to the situation and moving.

Fast M aII.

"This section will be greatly indebted to the Southern Railway company for the fast mail and express train that it will inaugurate next month"; said a prominent merchant.
 Ten years ago, or even five years ago, such a thing as receiving New York mail in Birmingham in 27 hours and 20 min utes from it's starting time. would have been almost unthinkable. But 27 hours and 20 minutes Is to be the time by the fast train. Atlanta will receive New York mail in 21 hours and 15 minutes and every city in the south reached by the Southern's main line and it's connections will reap the benefit of the new schedule. :"

The state board of control has issued
an order establishing at Mt. Pleasant
state hospital a ward or wards to be
designated as the State Hospital for In
ebriates. This is in accordance with an
act of the last general assembly direct.
ing such action. The Mt. Pleasant hos.
pital was selected for this because it is
easy of access from all parts Of the state
and because the physicians and attend.
ants there are more familiar with the
treatment than at other state hospitals
The superintendent is directed to set
aside a ward or wards to be used ex.
clusively for the treatment of persons
! sent there because of the use of intoxi.
cants or morphine or other narcotics.
The superintendent is directed to keep
patients separate from the insane, but
If a ward is only partially occupied in
sane patients may be kept there at the
discretion of the superintendent when
he believes no harm can come from such
mingling of the dipsomaniacs and the
insane. Patients in the inebriate ward
may be given exercise or employment
the same as insane persons. The super
intendent of the Mt. Pleasant hospital
was given notice recently and the
county authorities of each county will
be notified that the ward is now ready
to receive patients. The state board
has had a dozen or more inquiries of
late to know whether or not the dipso-
maniac ward had been established, and
it is expected that a dozen to twenty
patients will be placed there immediate.
ly. At the same time the members Of
the board and the superintendent feel
that this new law is likely to give them
a great deal of trouble. Unlike in the
case of insane persons the board has nc
power to parole, but that rests with the
governor. Paroles cannot be issued
until after thirty days. Two yea
sentences are possible at first, but moi
more.

Hicks August Predictions.

The Vulcan storm period central on
the Sth, covering the 7th to 18th, will
be marked by changes in the thermome-
ter and barometer, common to the
storln4periods, and discrimination into
storm, with more or less precipitation,
may be expected on'and touching the
9th, 10th and 18th. This period may be
watched with interest, asst may indicate
one way or the other much that may be
in store for US for weeks to come. We
would like much to be mistaken, but we
fear that, in the main, warm and dry
weather will prevail.
On the l4th, 18th and 10Th, a., reaction
to storm conditions will be noticeable
the barometer. will fall, warmth will, in
crease, cloudiness will ensue, and rains,
according to the lightness or abundance
prevailing in the Mars period will visit
many parts in transit from west to east.
Change to cooler should normally APP
pear with the rising barometer following
these perturbations.
Coming to the Vulcan storm period
extending from the 18th to the 23rd, we
see by the storm diagram than Mars,
Earth and Mercury all lend their dis.
turbing powers to the period. During
this period we also find that the moon
is at her full on the 18th and on the &C.
lestial equator on the 2lst. Earth will
have entered far enough into the equi-
nox at this time to make it possible for
dangerous storms to appear on the
southern seas and coasts. West India
hurricanes are not at all improbable at
this period.
Another fact worthy of being remem.
bered is, when these West India hurri.
canes and cyclones appear early, or dur
ing the month of August, if they come
near enough to our southern coasts to
affect the atmospheric currents of our
continent, northerly winds, very cool
weather and early frosts are more than
probable. Df you know what a great
barometric' depression, with wide trop.
ical storms are menacing our south
coasts, you should understand the fact
very cool weather and frosts are almost
certain to follow in the north and central
states, even as early as the latter part d
August. Remember these. facts and you

Learn How to Breathe.

1t is possible to exercise ones
whole body to keep it strong and

Children should be taught to breathe

each exhalation. There is no better
way of getting to sleep soon after

DID NOT APE The MEN.

Mrs. Brownin- wore her hair in
long ringlets. which, falling very
much over her face and when seen In
profile, suggested the unpleasing idea
of blinkers that harshly cut across
the graceful curves of brow and cheek.
1t was this style of arranging her dark
hair that made Mrs. Browning look
not old-fashioned for that would have
given a touch of sentiment. but
strangely out of the fashion, according
to a writer in Temple Bar. Her
slight. pretty figure was rather dis
guised than set off by garments that
fell looping around her But, thank
heaven, she was entirely and utterly
free from the bad taste of the self
styled clever women who acknowledge
themselves to be failures as women
by aping a masculine style of dress
and address.

London has new fad. 1t is called
"costumancy," form of character
reading, and it's exponent declares it
will supersede palmistry, graphology
and other means of telling character.
II you wish your character told or read
from your costume, you must send this
seer the color of your hair, eyes and
complexion-this is most important,
as it shows your sense of becomingness
and describe the style and color
scheme of each of the following
gowns: Dressing gown, morning
gown, walking costume, visiting toilet,
indoor frock, dinner gown and ball
gown. With each of these must also
be mentioned gloves, shoes. jewels,
furs, and hats. Then the costumancist

your tastes and opinions, your likes
and dislikes, as accurately or perhaps
more accurately than you wish.
