REIGN OF STRAW HAT IS
 RAPIDLY NEARING ITS END

As the days Of man have gradually shortened since the days of Methuselah so has the life of the hat of straw.
 Within the past four days there has been great brushing and dusting up of woolen hats and the merchants of Bir- mingham also report a brisk trade in the derby and fedora. The enticing bargains in straw hats have failed of effect since the chilly breezes of fall came upon the populaee and today top piece of straw could not be sold at any price unless 1t be one that will keep over winter.
 In the last decade the straw hat has been king in summer, but his reign of late years has gradually shortened. For merly man saw no grave offense in wearing his straw as late as October and beginning the next spring before the baseball season. Not so now. The man who dons the conventional summer top piece before hot weather sets in is ac- cused of rushing the season and Is the subject of criticism from every side.
 When that peculiar chilly sensation ruffles the surface of the skin in early September the hat must change and change 1t will. This feeling cannot be described but 1t makes men want to wear stiff hats, put away their fishing rods and long for the field and gun. September

NOT INTERESTED
 IN ALABAMA DAY
COMMERCIAL CLUB TURNS DOWN PROPOSITION OF ST. LOUIS ALABAMA soclETY-PREsIDENT JACKSON WRITES TO MAYOR.

The Commercial club has refused to endorse the movement of the Alabama Society of St. Louis looking towards the celebration of Alabama Day on October 10.
 Several days ago Mayor Drennen re- ceived a communication from Marion M. Stone, chairman of the committee on ar- rangements of the Alabama Society of St. Louis, asking the chief executive of Bir- mingham to use his influence towards making the affair success. The mayor immediately took up the matter with President Fred M. Jackson.
 Yesterday the following reply was re- ceived from MT. Jackson:
 Birmingham, Ala, September 15. Hon w. M. Drennen, City.
 Dear Sir-Replying to your letter of the 14th I have to state that the Com mercial club turned down the proposition looking to having an Alabama Day at the worlds fair. The Commercial club has no interest in the matter, so far as I know. Personally, I have thought that Alabama Day, with suitable programme prop erly carried out, would do much toward attracting the attention of the people to the resources of our great state. The proposition gotten out by the Alabama Society of St. Louis has no official en- dorsement from the Commercial club. and I may say further no personal endorse ment from me, further than we wrote them that as far as our moral support was concerned we would not object to endorsing the scheme, but that we could not in any sense assume any responsibili- ty in the success of the entertainment, financially or otherwise. Alabama Bay is matter that should be dealt with by the governor I believe that he could make 1t popular movement, if he would endorse the proposition and I would like to see him do 1t. Further than this I have no suggestion to make, and again say to you that we have assumed no responsibility in the matter whatever.
 'I enclose the whole correspondence in case you should want to refer 1t to the governor. Yours very truly,
 IF. M. JACKSON, President"
 The committee on arrangements of the Alabama Society of St. Louis is composed of Marion M. Stone, chairman; c. P. FL lerbe, w. H. Compton, W. H. Clopton. B. M. Llde, J. w. Bray, John B. Cham bers and J. c. Chisolm.

BIRMINGHAM PARTY
 BACK FROM EUROPE
AUSTIN SIMS GOT HOME YEsTER- DAY, BUT GEORGE p. BoNDu. RANT AND ROBERT c. HIDEN STOPPED IN VIRGINIA.

Austin Sims returned yesterday from a trip to Europe. Robert G. Hiden and George P. Bondurant who accompanied MT. Sims stopped in Virginia for few days on their way home.
 We enjoyed every minute of our time while abroad" said MT. Sims last night. but I am delighted to be at home again. I have shaken hands with 5000 friends to- day.
 'The places we visited in the old coun- try included London. Edinburg, Stratford- on-Avon, Paris, Heidelberg, MaInz. Col ogne, Brussels and Antwerp. Edinbure impressed me as the most beautiful of all."
 The Red Star News, printed on board the steamer Finland, by which the party returned contains the following story, under the caption Overheard Last We'd nesday."
 T love the sea, don't youg "Yes my inmost soul seems to go out to it."
 My boy you seem to have a weak stomach" "oh, don't know, I'm throw ing as far as any of them"
 There Is more gambling on ocean steamers in summer than there Is in win ter' Yes, but there are not so many cold decks"
 What made you propose to- her on the steamer?" T wanted to prove I could love her. even when she was seasick."
 Don't you like the ships fare?"
 Suffering Editor: "Oh 1t isn't that I don't like it! The rejection of anything does not necessarily imply that it is lack ing in merit, any one of number of reasons may render a contribution un- suited to our present uses.'

MINISTER'S HEAR
 CAPT. BERRIMAN
SALVATION ARMY OFFICERS FIX. PLAIN PLAN TO ESTABLISH A HOME FOR FALLEN WOMEN IN BIRMINGHAM.

The joint committee of ministers from the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist congregations of Birmingham met last night at the First Presbyterian church and discussed the movement inaugurated by the Salvation army, looking towards the establishment in Birmingham of a rescue home for fallen women.
 Staff Capt. J. M. Berriman of Atlanta, who is in charge of the southern division of the army, attended the meeting and explained what has been done by his or- ganization in other cities in the United States. along this line The ministers lis- tened to the staff captain attentively and assured him of their practical sympathies in the movement. Another meeting of the joint committee will be held on the first Monday night in October, and plans for mass meeting of the citizens of Birmingham will probably then be ar ranged.
 staff Captain Berriman feels confident that the citizens will give the Salvation army their support in establishing a res- cue home here. He believes that with $5OO0 home can be purchased and fitted out.
 The stan captain estimates that home to accommodate twenty or more women can be operated in Birmingham on about 5000 year.

AMUSEMENT
Mason and Mason"

Birmingham theatregoers were in the mood for musical comedy last night and they rendered an enthusiastic welcome to Mason and Mason in Fritz and Snitz," the first offering of this class that the season has brought forth. Mason and Ma son have improved with age. They were better last night than they have been since starting out as co-stars and they were also supported by more capable company than was expected. They kept the crowd screaming with laughter near ly all the time, which was certainly ali that they tried to do.
 Of course Fritz and Snitz" is not over burdened with plot. There is supposed to be a story of some kind but the &C., tion of the piece concerns the complica- lions arising from the similarity in ap- pearance of the two Masons who pose as the same nobleman. Humorous situ- atlons thus arising are enlivened by songs and fun-making. at all time exceptionally clever. The jokes of Mason and Mason this year are characterized by an orig inality that is often lacking in musical comedy and their effort were most liber- ally applauded. Perhaps the best thing they did was a singing speciality in the second act which was rendered with the assistance of Mss Della Stacey. a talent and baseball burlesque brought down the house, forcing them to respond to repeat ed encores. All the songs of the comedians were well received, while the marked im- provement in their performance was a surprise to theatregoers who saw them in Rudolph and Adolph."
 In addition to the principals there were several other clever people in the com pany, notably Miss Anna Suits, who play ed the part of a music hall artist; Rober Button, who sings we'll, and Frank Hayes. who was not especially amusing as a bell boy but redeemed himself by his singing and dancing. The chorus as a whole was well drilled but did very lit- tie singing. In costumes and looks they were not conspicuous but they were hard ly necessary to keep the house in good humor, so long as Mason and Mason held the boards.
 The performance was noteworthy for a very agreeable freshness and newness so far as concerned the fun-maklng. Only once or twice were the two comedians guilty of perpetrating anything that was musty. They were ct the Jefferson to entertain and if volume of laughter is any criterion they succeeded.

LOCAL. POLITICS
 BECOMING QUIET
Committees Action in Adjourn
 ing Seems to be Approved
EXPRESSION OF OPINION
Chairman Abernathy Talks-No Com promise Was Suggested Thursday Nluht-Meetlng Improbable
 Thursday Night.

The indications are that everything will be quiet In local municipal politics now for some time to come. The action of the city democratic executive committee Thursday night in adjourning after being in session for only three minutes brought forth much comment yesterday. A ma jority of people, however, seem to agree that the action of the city committe was wise. A prominent politician said:
 T have never thought that a meeting of the city committee at this time to ar range for the municipal primary would be good move We are now on the eve of 8 general election, and that Is enough pol tiles for us until after the new year. I think that every conservative democrat will agree with me in saying that the ac- ton of the city committee was a wise policy to pursue"
 Chairman H. R. Abernathy had but little to say yesterday with regard to the action of his committee. In reply to the direct question, Were any compromises entered into before the meeting?" he re- piled:
 You may say for me positively that a compromise was not even suggested have heard 1t rumored that compromise was effected by which the plurality rule is to be adopted, and the names of the city officials are not to go on the ticket, but so far as I know such was not the case, and you may quote me as saying that"
 Continuing, the chairman said:
 Tt Is true that little caucuses were held among the members of the committee af- ter they reached the council chamber Thursday night, but nothing conclusive was agreed upon. It seems that 1t was simply case of mental telapathy. When the motion was made that an adjourn ment be taken subject to the call of ten members of the committee, everybody seemed to be in favor of the proposition No one was opposed to it.'
 "Is 1t probable that the committee will meet on September H?' was asked.
 'I hardly think SO" replied the chair man.
 Further than this he refused to be quoted.

PIG IRON TRADE
 CONTINUES QUIET
LITTLE OR NO CHANGE IN SOUTH ERIN SITUATlON-THE PRICE OF . COKE REMAINS UNCHANGED BUT DEMAND GOOD.

Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati port of yesterday date says:
 The market continues rather quiet, AQd while there Is no advancing tendency prices are firm on northern and southern irons. There has been very little. If any change in the southern situation so f as tonnage is concerned, for the furns in the Birmingham district have not eeeded in increasing their output to appreciable extent, and this mont unquestionably show a further deci in southern stocks. Consumers find several grades are not readily obtn.-,.-, for early delivery, and that there Is less southern iron available on basis of 1925 Birmingham for No. 2 than a week ago. While no large transactions have taken place, there has been a fair run of medium size orders covering all grades. Some buyers who are in the market for forward deliveries find that furnaces are unwilling to contract for extended future delivery, except at an advance over cur rent quotations. Consumption appears to keep up very well. some foundries report ing increased business although others complain of dullness. The local moulders' strike Is still on, with settlement no nearer than week ago.
 There has been no change in the price of coke and the demand continues fairly good.

At the RIlou.

A large audience was pleased with the performance at the Bijou theatre last night of "A Midnight Marriage" As popular-priced melodrama this play is re- ceiving the commendation of the public. The production as a whole Is meritorious and deserves the liberal patronage which is being accorded. From scenic point of view and considered historically 1t is much above the average of such shows.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and the closing performance of the week tonight. Large houses should be in or- der on both occasions.
 "Alone in the World" which will be the offering for all of next week, with the usual matinees is being very favorably received this week in Atlanta and comes here well recommended. The play Is equally as thrilling as "A Midnight Mar riage" and is from the pen of the same author. A boy only 16 years old plays the leading role. but comports himself like a veteran actor.
 The sale of seats for this production began yesterday morning.
