Riot of Colors.

In the bewildering mazes of colore
that are in vogue this season there Is
always danger that too glaring coll
ors or unbecoming tints, though eff
fective, may be chosen. There is no
denying that striking colors challenge
attention, and certain compilations
can stand brilliant colors.

Outline Tucks.

Some of the broad tucks in the new
linen tailored blouses are sewn in
with the outline stitch in mercerized
cotton. This is merely the back stitch
used on the right side of the ma
terial, and in contrast of shades 1t
presents many possibilities.

 In making up general weather re- port on what has happened in Alaba- ma during the past year. Director Chaf- fee of the Weather Bureau mas com piled a general summary that tells the tale in few words. The report, which is sent to Washington, is lengthy and takes the weather of the State for year up In full detail.
 The summary is as. follows:
 "The weather for the year as whole was nearly normal with respect to tenn perature, though the rainfall was gen. orally excessive. The range of tenn perature was less than for any previ- ous year, except in 1891 and 1906, when it was the same. While the an- nual rainfall averaged considerably above the normal. 1t Ras been exceed ed six times during tho past sixteen years. The least annual avearge rain fall of the entire State of which there is a record was 39.5Ss inches in 1904 CT 15.0S inches less than for 1907.
 The weather was, as usual. warmer in the southwestern counties and was

Restaurant Men Deny Increase
 Ln Business Alter 9 O'clock

of coffee before going to bed. There are not ten customers from o'clock at night until 6 the next morning on any night. The only reason that we keep open is that this is the time we use in cleaning up, getting our stock in shape for the following days busi- ness and having the fires ready for the early morning business. We have to keep two forces of help anyway, oth- erwise we would close up at 10 o'clock at the latest" M
 The restaurant people are not the only ones that suffer. At least half of the hacks that were formerly on duty at night have been taken of, and those that are still hawking do not do half the business that they did before. The effect of the closing is also felt on the street car lines late at night, and 1t is probable that when Superintendent Ragland returns to the city that there will be some changes in the schedules on some of the lines.

The Electric Elevator Now Running st
 the McLester.

the McLester. From The Tuscaloosa Times-Gazette.
 of Jan. Il.
 Ever since E. c Snow took charge of the McLester. there has been constant improvement visible all about the ho- tel. Tn addition to the greatly im- proved cuisine and service generally. a number of the rooms have been fit- ted with private baths. which was a convenience greatly needed. All the McLester. rooms are very large and now that private bath rooms have been put in they are more than ever desirable.
 The artistic billiard and pool rooms in the basement have been mentioned before. They seem to increas in pop ularity as time goes on and they are attractive resorts, carefully conducted.
 The latest improvement Is the cleo trio elevator. which has just been in- stalled; indeed, the elevator has been running only few days. It runs smoothly. however, as The Timks- Ga zette can testify and 1t is being used with great enjoyment by the guests of the hotel. This addition was made at considerable expense simply for the convenience of the traveling public and patrons of the hotel generally. There Is nothing a tired man hates more than a climb up even one flight of stairs, and by installing the elevator the Messrs. Snow have made their fourth floor as desirable as their sec ond. The elevator is of the latest and most improved pattern and was put in at cost of s3.000, but MT. Snow be- lieves that the convenience of his guests must be considered at any ex- pense. adv.

Cold Wave signal Hoisted At Weather Bureau For First Time This
 Kenr--Change Took Place

For the first time this winter Direct or Chaffee, of the Weather Bureau. or- rered up the cold wave signal and gave asgenerai warning on a decided change Tn the weather for Friday. From all indications yesterday the fall in the temperature will be about twenty de- Rrees in the twenty-four hours of Thursday night and Friday morning and also that the thermometer will register in the neighborhood of twenty i've degrees Friday. It will be the first real cold wave of the winter and ow- ing to the beautiful weather that has been enjoyed so far. it will hit Mont gomerians hard blow.
 Last evening about o'clock there was felt a change in the temperature of the winds. The thermometer con- tinued to fall all during the night. With the change in the temperature. the rain of yesterday ceased and the clouds in the sky passed away rapidly. By midnight 1t was clear and cold and the thermometer kept going down.
 It not only was cold but 1t looked cold. The moon seemed twice as bright as 1t does on mild evenings and the winds whistled in pedestrians ears in manner suggestive of real winter.
 Wednesday there were two low areas in the Northwest that were not counted on to do much, but instead of joining and going together they split, one coming South and the other heading of towards the St. Lawrence Valley.
 The one which came South centered over Alabama yesterday and gave the warm weather, together with a good portion of rain. On Wednesday there
 was high area just coming in on the Northwest coast that threatened to give some, cold weather in that sec 1 ton. It did. Yesterday the thermom- l eter went down to six degrees below | zero in Montana, and as far South as | Northwest Texas 1t was only eight de- | grees above. The passing of the low ! area that gave the rain in Alabama 1 yesterday to the eastward and the com l ing of this high area that is carrying | a cold wave with 1t. is what will bring
 the cold weather here.
 1 As was stated the approach of 1t was | felt last night although the center oi | it is not expected to reach here until | Friday morning. Owing to the fact ' that 1t has lost part of its srength. and 1 also that 1t Is coming so far South, ti | responsible for its fury being some
 what less than 1t was even in Texas.
 It appears that this high area ha' l come down from the Northwest so fast | that 1t is expected stay over tht | South for a few days and continue al | least through Friday and Saturday tt 1 give out it's chilly winds. It Is barely possible that 1t will be here Sunda,
 although it would not be surprise Il 1t had passed off and given It's place to a low area by that time.

A statement made tp The Advertiser several days ago by a restaurant pro- prietor in the city to the effect that his nightly sales had, increased $40 a night since the enforcement of the early closing law, has raised storm of protest among other restaurant keepers of the city.

There will be much suffering in Montgomery today ana tomorrow as result of the cold wave which came from the hoary northwest last night, and the charitable organizations of the city are preparing to find out the needy cases and contribute fuel and provisions for the comfort of those unable to work and without the necessities.
 Captain Odom of tho Salvation Army is having many calls made on him for assistance right at this time, and has about as many cases as he can take care of. unless there fs an increase in the contributions of clothing, wood and provisions.

 Captain Odom says that there are larger number of strange families in the city which have come here in the hope of securing employment. These are, as\a rule. in the most needy cir cumstance, and he knows of several cases where he has yet been unable to lend any assistance
 Real cold weather is the time we discover the most of the real needy people of any city," said Captain odom yesterday, "and many who will not ask for assistance during fair weather are forced to swallow their pride and ask little assistance for the sake of keeping the spark of life going"

AsiICABLY SETTLED.
County wfl Divide Road and Bridge
 Tax With City.

Owing to the fact that the City Att torney and the County Attorney have been able to agree on the portion of the new municipal code bill which pro- vides for tba county paying the city half of the road and bridge tax, the differences between the city and the county have~ been patched up and the money will be paid with out having the mater carried into the courts. After carefully considering the matter, each member of the Board felt that it was right that the city should have half of the money and that 1t was useless to go to the expense of testing the law.
 As 1t was first decided that the city should get the $25,000 in three install ments, that is the way it will be paid. The first installment will be paid soon, the next some time in the spring and the last payment will come in the sum- mer.

 With all the elections coming on, there has nevertheless been but little activity in the payment of poll tax es. They musf be paid before February l to be effective of the qualification of the electors, but although there are but few days left there is but small percentage of polls accounted for.
