History Was Made When Names
 Of Bryan and Johnson Appeared

Believing that the placing of the names of W. J. Bryan and John A. Johnson on the primary ticket of the Democratic party to be voted on May 1s as Alabama's preference for Presi- dential candidate. Chairman k S. D. Mallory. of the Democratic State Exc cutive Committee. has written a letter to pr. Thomas M. Owen. Director of the State Department of Archives and History. requesting him to file the pa- pers as a memento in the States re- cords. This Director Owen has done.
 The papers forming the memento of the recent rather hot campaign include the original brief petitions signed by more than two hundred qualified vot- CTS of Alabama that the names of tho respective candidates for Presidential nominee be placed on the ballot. and the letter of Chairman Mallory.
 Not everyone realized that history was really being made when this State thus blazed the way for the direct vote of the people of party to deter mine the instructions of delegates sent to a national convention. It is believ- ed that the proceeding is without pre- cedent or even parallel in any other State.

 It is also said that Loveman. Joseph struction on the law defining what condition qualities a book for ex- change. The depository has written some sub-depositories to the effect that an old book of like grade is ex- cAangeable if one or both lids of the cover are missing. or if the preface is torn out. 1t being only necessary that all the "lesson" ubject-matter is con- tained therein.
 There are . few books included in the recent adoptions of the Commis- sion which are not exchangeable. In other words, there Is in use now or has been in use no old bok corresponding to the new one. These will have to be purchased outright. therefore. and m the covers will be printed no exchange price.

StraChan's Great Game
Surprises South

Players in Santa Barbara
Tournament
By Grant Smith

Although the lions share of the hon
ors in the Santa Barbara tennis tourna-
ments went to George James, his double
victory is overshadowed by the Won
derful showing made by little Robert
Strachan of the Golden Gate Junior
tennis club. This youngster,. who is
stfll in his early teens and small for his
age. not only won the junior event. but
reached the finals of the open tOurna-
ment where he succumbed only
through physical disability and fatigue.
Young Strachan beat such experts
as Tom Bundy and Simpson Sinsabaugh
of Los Angeles and Carl Gardner of
this city in the early rounds, and had
he not been attacked by cramps toward
the close of his match with James,
would probably have made clean
sweep of il. James won the first two
sets, but his younger opponent took
the next two. and just when he ap-
peared sure winner the cramps put
him out of business early in the fifth
and deciding set.
That Strachan played "over his head
