"Pa Gladden.n .n

Elizabeth Cherry Waltz's story of a common man Is worthy of wide reading. for its hero is one of the most original and entertaining characters that have sprung to light in recent fiction. In Pa Gladden. Is unique mingling of relig- lous sentiment and racy humor. The story Of his singular experiences in a remote community-his relation to the people and the animals among whom hLs kindly life is led-has a strange fascination.
 Tnere Is haunting suggestion of other woridiiness in the narrative, the gates or the supernatural seem now and then about to open; but the singular tale moves quietly on its episodical way, main taining It's posse rather among the opti- misms' human generosities, and spirit- ual aspirations of this sunny-hearted
 common man" than on the plane of oownrlght superstition; though in "Pa Gladden's" simple soul there is a weak Side toward the mysterious and the su. pernatural. Pa Gladden.: the Story of 2 Common Man" Is likely to be one of the most notable books of the year. Published by the Century Company. New York.

POLICE COMMISSION
COUNCIL WILL ASK CITY ATToR.
 NEY ECR OPINION.
MT. Rushton Will Be Called on by New Aldermen to Decide Con- situtionality of the
 Act

The Montgomery Police Commission act it is expected. will ne up at the first regular meeting of the Council. IT the deadlock for the presidency of the Council is broken tonight, the matter will in all probability, be brought up St the meeting.
 It Is said the Council will pass reso- lution requesting Ray Rushton. who mas been nominated for city attorney. to give his opinion as to the constituuonanty oi the act.
 If MT. Rushton should say in his opin- ion that the law is unconstitutional the Council, it is thought, will receive his report, and take no further action upon the commission act.
 The Council having failed to elect a commission it is expected that Mayor Carr will reappoint Police Chief A. S' Gerald.
 If this plan of action is adopted. 1t Is seriously doubted that the commission act will ever be tested in the courts. The al- legged unconstitutionality of the act lies in that 1t is not a general act, but Is a special act, and that 1t amends the city charter,
 A law creating the Board of Police Commission. CTS for Bessemer was declar- ed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Alabama. This law made the police commissioners appointive by the Cover nor. After these appointments they were busted from office by the Supreme Court.

Adventures of McTodd.

The adventures of ''McTodd." by c. J. Cutllffe Hyne. afford the material for twelve short stories, rich in unusual and exciting incident. told in brisk, seaman like style by the hero himself. He is a shrewd. humorous Scot with plenty of courage and a wholesome love of a good Municipalities which keep him in the good graces of the reader, even though McTodd can't pass the Board of Trade examination for engineers. and Is Q bit too fond of his drink when ashore
 This last failing Is responsible for his being rolling stone; every vessel that he ships on carries him to strange and thrilling experiences. and the scene shifts from land to sea. from the Arctic re- gions, where McTodd plays star part aboard whaling ships and among the Esquimaux, to West Africa. where he goes in quest of an "eathen idol made of mud" It is a book to delight the heart

A SANITARY CENSUS
DATA AS TO PREMISES OF
 MONTGOMERY.
City Department Will Make e Thor ough Canvass Prepa ratory to Extt lding System to the
 Annexed District.

A thorough census of Greater Montgom- cry k being taken by the City Sanitary Department. In this work the whole of the Sanitary Department is at present engaged.
 A population census Is not the primary object of the department Its first pur- pose is to ascertain the exact sanitary condition of the city. The census will be used as a basis for future sanitary inn provements. For the work a new blank has been gotten out. This blank Is to se- cure full information. It has line on which the sanitary inspector must enter the home of the head of the family, the number of persons in the family or living on the lot, with details of the sanitary condition of the house and lot.
 The census will be most thorough. Every street in Greater Montgomery will be thoroughly canvassed. Every house will be visited. The census will embody comprehensive information of every house and lot from Highland Park to West End and from Riverside Park to Cloverdale.
 The census will be the first direct relia- ble information as to Greater Montgom- cry.
 As Is we'll known the sanitary system of Montgomery does not extend to any part of the annexed district. Its extension into the suburbs Is only a matter of time and the Sanitary Department Is equipping itself with facts and information needed when the City Council announces that 1t is ready to make the Improvements.

Plant Life and Temp eratnre.

Plant life is much more tolerant than animal life of extremes of temperature. growth having been observed in some in stances as low as zero. and in other in- stances as high as 72 degrees centigrade. It Is perfectly true that a free2ing pro- cess does not destroy life. A fish or frog will be frozen solid and on rethaw wing will become quite lively again. The seeds of plants can actually undergo for hours temperature of liquid hydrogen. the cold est temperature known, and yet retain their germinative power.
