A MISFIT HYPOTHESIS

The San Jose Mercury compliments the club women
of Los Angeles particularly, and the class in
eastern cities generally for their zeal in the direction of
civic betterment. The antblboard movement instituted
by the Los Angeles club is especially COM
mended Concerning this matter the Mercury says:
LOS Angeles already has taken some measures to
regulate the hamboyant atrocities of that method of
advertising but not enough apparently to satisfy the
of propriety of its club women"
The Herald regrets to inform its wingfooted con-
temporary that, Notwithstanding the earnest efforts of
Los Angeles club women, the big billboard nuisance
remains in satu ante The great chromatic daubs
glare at citizens almost everywhere in Los Angeles
The most prominent feature of the landscape from
many bedroom windows. at the first view in the morn
ing is expansive daub of colors extolling the merits
OF whisky beer cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum etc.
Making headway against the billboard nuisance in
Los Angeles appears to be hard proposition. The
club women working with energy in the effort to
mitigate the abuse least but tangible results have
appeared thus far. In some localities the great bill
boards only eyesore because of their dauby
appearance and the offensive things they advertise but
they also obstruet the outlook from many homes thus
causing actual injury to property values

EXCAVATION is EXCITING
CURIOSITY OF OFFICIALS
Believe Bradbury and LaughIn Build
ings Are Being Connected by Tun-
mel in Defiance of Council

mel In Defiance of Council
Are the owners of the Bradbury and
Laughlin buildings digging a tunnel
under Broadway to connect the two
buildings? This is the question Street
Superintendent Hanley would have an
swered
Since Attorney John G.. Mott ap-
peared before the council and asked
permission to dig the tunnel, various
rumors have arisen to the effect that
the work was actually under way, de-
spite the fact that the council refused
to give its permission at the time.
Street Superintendent Hanley sent
an inspector to the buildings with in
structons to ascertain what was be-
ing done and see If tunnel was ac-
tually being dug. The owners of the
buildings politely but firmly refused
the inspector admittance, so he learned
nothing.
Objection to the digging of the tun-
mel without the councils permission
is that it is to be used for the trans
mission of power and therefore may
require a franchise. The permission
was withheld by the council until it
should develop the point as to whether
a franchise was necessary or not.

Are stunning creatures all;
No wonder that we poor men folks
In love with 'em will fall.

We VOW we'll find and win, In life,
She of the magazines!
But when we search for our ideal,
Alas, we realize
That she whom artists pencils linn
Is but pack of lies,
For when we analyze this girl,
Toward whom our fancy leans,
Anatomy can't stand for her,
Outside the magazines.
In due proportion she's not made;
She may be short or tall,
But head and body, arms and face,
Won't measure up at all.
A pretty fight of fancy, she,
In purples, reds and greens
But not in this real world doth live
She of the magazines!

POLICE POWER IS
 TO BE CONFERRED
COMMISSION DID NOT MEET FOR LACK OF ouoRUM-PARkER TO SWEAR IN FIRE INSPECTOR AUSTIN.

Fire Inspector c. W. Austin will be in- vested with police power.
 This was definitely decided upon last night by Chairman Thomas F. Parker of the police commission.
 A meeting of the commission was call- ed for last night for the purpose of con- sdering the question of whether or not police power would be conferred upon the fire inspector. A quorum was lacking. In fact Chairman Parker was the only mem- Der of the commission present at the call ed session.
 MT. Parker waited at the city hall for over thirty minutes and no other member of the commission put in an appearance. After the meeting was declared ad- journed until the next regular session, the second Tuesday In January, Chairman Parker stated his position
 T asked that consideration of Mr. Austin's confirmation as police officer be postponed, pending an investigation of cer- tain matters said he. "The Mayor and Council having asked that Mir Austin be invested with police power, the request will be granted.
 "As chairman of the commission and in the absence of a constituted quorum I
 
 the police power necessary to conduct his office will be conferred upon him. Of course my swearing in of the fire inspector is only temporary and must be confirmed by the commission at the regular session in January.
 Personally, I am willing to do all in my power to assist in putting Birmingham on first class insurance basis If my swearing in of MT. Austin and clothing i'm, wit perform the duties of his office will aid in this matter l am willing to lend my as- sstance."
 It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the commission a communica- ton was submitted by Mayor Ward, in which the chief executive asked that police power be conferred on MT. Austin At the time the question of whether the fire in- spector was an employe of the city was brought up by MT. Parker. At the request of Chairman Parker the matter was con- tinued for investigation.

THE GRIP CAME BACK.
Thief Took MT. Alexander's valise, But
 Returned 1t Later.

John Alexander a resident of Republic, and a revenue official of the southern dis trict, was the victim of peculiar incl dent today,
 While waiting for No. southoound Louisville and Nashville, on his way to Montgomery, he left his suit case on T table. so as to purchase ticket. While so engaged a depot thief took the grip and made good his escape.
 MT. Alexander immediately notified Of- ficers Mcdonald and Morrow of the theft and an immediate search was instituted.
 The thief was described by person in the depot who saw him take the grip as a young man, clean shaven, with a light overcoat and brown derby hat. He ap- peared to be about 20 years of age.
 While the officers were watching the gates. and MT. Alexander the waiting room, the thief, being aware of the fact, probably. that he was watched, con- trved in some manner, to replace the suit case on the table.
 Besides containing clothes to the value perhaps of 80. the valse contained pa- pers of considerable value to Mir Alex ander, and which could not be replaced.

 Waiting for Preliminary.

Harry Scroggins and Frank F. Harmon, the two white men who are confined in the county jail charged with the murder of D. A. West, who was shot on the old Tennessee road in North Birmingham two weeks ago, have not been given q preliminary hearing yet.
 After the coroners inquest last Thurs day afternoon warrants were issued by Coroner Paris for the two men charging them with the crime. These warrants were made returnable before Justice of the Peace W. E. Hansberger at North Birmingham, and were delivered to the sheriff's office by Coroner Paris. When questioned last night as to when the preliminary hearing of the men would be held MT. Hansberger stated that he knew nothing about the case and had set no date for the hearing. He also stated that he had not been officially notified to con duct the hearing and would do nothing until the warrants were delivered to him. Coroner Paris stated last night that he had done his duty in the matter and that if the preliminary hearing had not been arranged for it was not his fault, as the warrants have been at the county jail almost a week.
