Of interest to the medical profession is the announcement that an apparatus termed the Cornell Tube has been recently devised by Professor Albert C Cevser. of the Cornell Medical Coll ere. through the use of which the in furious effects that sometimes accom- pany the application of the X-Ray treatment have been entirely elimin- ated.

 Sunday Sheriff Higdon placed deputy sheriffs on South Twentieth Street to watch the automobile owners and in- vestigate what there was in complaints that had been made as to the law be- ing violated. Two deputies stood on one corner and took note of the pass ing automobiles while two other dep- uties held the fort at the next corner and kept a record of the passing time. Tn this manner the speed was reck- oned and the twenty warrants ID the result of this investigation. Sheriff Higdon announced that he had received many complaints about automobile owners speeding on Twentt- eth street and he decided to make an investigation and the arrests is a re- | suit.

 With Sympathy
 Mrs. Bertha Kuntz Baker. for the second time. held a Montgomery audience spell-bound by her interpretation of dramatic art at the auditorium of the Girls High School last night. She chose as her reading Peer Gynt." a play by Ibsen. and produced; by the late Richard Mansfield. X
 It is seldom that one hears as per- feet a reading of an Ibsen play, par ticulariy that of Peer Gynt." as Mrs. Baker rendered last night. Her inter- pretations of the emotions of Peer Gynt. together with the playing of Grieg's Peer Gynt." by Mrs. Robert Eilenberg and Mrs. Austin, held last nights audience in silence until the end As Mrs. Baker bowed herself from the rostrum, the audience broke into storms of applause, and crowded both about the reader and the musi- clans that they might offer their con gratulations.

A..
 Hirh praise must be given 10 the rendition of the music of the play by Mrs EIlenberg and Mrs. Austin. Their rendition of the beautiful music Tn connection with the interpretation or Mrs. Baker played a large part In the complete enjoyment of the evening.
