The Natato rum.

One day last week while walking down
Second avenue, my attention was attract
ed by hundreds of towels drying on the
Twenty-second street 1 looked further,
and found that they were on the roof of
the Natatorium. As I stood looking at
the exterior of the building my thoughts
reverted to my boyhood days, when
would take a dip in the not over clean
water of a nearby creek. The more l
thought of it the more enticing the idea
a swim became, SO putting aside all
seruples l went in. bought ticket and
proceeded to take a dip.
l certainly did e-joy the hour or so
spent there. After removing my garents
l was escorted to the sweating room,
where l lost about six pounds of Br-
mingham real estate. Then l was taken
in hand by an attended who pounded
kneaded, massaged and rubbed me until l
thought he had removed every particle of
the outer cuticle. Then came a shower
and lost, but not least, a plunge into the
pool. Here is where I certainly did en-
joy myself. The pool is about thirty by
eight feet, lined with white thing, and the
water. about the right temperature, Is
as clear as a crystal.
After the plunge I went into the re-
clning room. had an alcohol rub down
and dozed off for about half an hour.
Leisurely dressing ret/ned to the street,
feeling so refreshed and cool that "Old
Sol" had no terrors for me the balance
of the day.
1t Is needless to say that the attendants
of the Natatorium have not seen the last
of my classic and "appollolke" form.

New and Novel.

Daniel webster is said to have obtained
a lot of his knowledge by asking questions
and prying into things. Whether this Is
true or not, do not know, but do know
that I learned a few things recently by
visiting the establishment of the Shaw
Undertaking company.
Mr.. Shaw called my attention to line
of metallic caskets that to my mind must
be forever impervious to the decay OF
time. He also showed me some small
collins that were as dainty and Dresden
like in their trimmings as could be I'M
agined. They We're truly fitting examples
of the beautiful along this line.
However. the object that most attracted
my attention was an open bier, which at
first glance resembles a beagtiful daven-
port Open at the ends and side, with an
upright back, trimmed in purple and
white, embroidered with violets, closely
resembling the natural flower, and with
pillow on which would rest the head OF
the deceased, it was really beautiful and
well calculated to be worthy of any king.
This merely proves my contention, l. e.,
that Birmingham is as up-to-date II not
more So in every line as is any other
southern city. The credit for this must
be given to such enterprising concerns as
the Shaw company and others.

Its national conception of the New World.
Schooner of Nuremberg, a reproduction of
whose globe Is to be seen. the original
being in the museum at Weimar, drew II
map which enjoyed considerable popu-
larity In 1915. He considerably improved
upon Stobnicza's bald west coasts.
In 1920 Swiss named Bienewitz, other
wise called Apianus, undertook to settle
forever the question of the shape of the
Western world. His map was for a long
time considered to be the earliest one en-
graved, showing the name of America.
Apanus' Intentions were better than his
execution His map shows the continent
suffering from an almost painful attenua-
ton, but 1t has the advantage of original
ity. Europe however, was not entirely
satisfied with the result, and riot OF

ideas on the subject.

a Unioue Statement.

I read not long ago. in one of the lead
ing northern papers a unique statement,
In which 1t was claimed that the average
business man. owing to the typewriting
machine, was forgetting how to write
with a pen
The article impressed me, and the more
I ponder over it, the more truth there
appears in It,
Personally don't believe / have writ
ten letters with a pen in a year. All
of my writing is done on a typewriter,
a Densmore.
The typewriter of the present day Is a
remarkable thing. 1t appears that there
is not a day passes but what some new
attachment is invented. A unique feature
of my machine is a back space, used to
throw the carriage back one space for
each stroke by means of key. The
machine is also equipped with ball bear
ings which reduces friction. lengthens
the life of It, gives it an extremely light
touch and insures an absolute preserva-
ton of alignment. a feature, which all
typewriters and stenographers will APP
preciate.

way is the local representative Of the

steriIized Milk.

Among the dairymen of this city, whom
the city bacteriologist commended on the
quality of milk sold, is the Hillside Dairy
company. I visited the dairy of this COM
pany recently, on Twenty-first street, and
was amazed to find the precautions taken
to insure clean, healthy milk. Everything
was spotlessly clean, and the machinery
used was of the most up-to-date type Mr..
Lee of this company informed me that
evrey ounce of milk sold by the company
was sterilized, thus insuring the almost
total absence of bacteria
If all the diaries of this city were TO
follow more closely section 1858, article l,
of the milk inspection ordinance the posi-
bility of bacteria, etc, would be reduced
to a minimum.

Scarcity of Desirable Houses.

II was discussing the question of real
estate values, present and future, with
Mr.. W. A. Lester, the real estate man, a
short time ago, and from what he tells
me, | am led to believe that the people
of Birmingham are confronted with q
rather unique proposition. The demand
for desirable houses, both for sale and
for rent, is unprecedented. One reason is,
more people are coming to Birmingham
daily. Another is, values are rapidly in
creasing, and what might be bought far
song today could not be bought for a port
folio of songs tomorrow.
The majority of people of the city APP
precate that fact. and are taking adj
vantage of conditions or opportunities as
the case may be. One thing Is certain, the
real estate men are kept pretty busy. as
a glance into the office of Mr.. Lester or
any other real estate man will prove

Johnston,s colonial Strain.

The above Is the name of a novelty in
the paint line that was called to my at
tention by Mr.. w. A. Scott of the Bir-
mingham paint mills.
This stain Is decidedly new a creosote
composition, which Is guaranteed not to
fade 1t is claimed by the manufacturers
to be a beautifier and preservative for
shingles, rough siding and fencing, and
that 1t will do away with the old fash
Toned idea of dipping. The stains, which
come in eight shades of colors are guar
anteed to wear longer than any paint on
the market. Mr.. Scott tells me that they
can be obtained at about half the cost of
paint.
The Birmingham Paint Mills, besides be-
ing the sole distributors for this novelty,
are manufacturers on a large scale of
high class paints, etc.

THIRSTY BIRMINGHAM.

Although we may grumble and growl at

about the torrid weather. They are the

About one thousand glasses OF soda
water, or to be more precise, soft drinks,
are dispensed daily Over the soda water
counter of the Adams Drug company.
This of course, comprises all the popu-
