ALABAMA TO BE DRYEsT STATE.
House Passes Bill Prohibiting Sale
or Shipping of Liquor.


In almost a frenzy the House mem
bers of the Alabama Legislature on
Friday made violent assault on the
sale of intoxicants of all kinds, pass
ing the Fuller bill, beyond question
the most drastic ever offered in the
South. BY its provisions no liquors
may be sold; no advertisement of
liquors may appear in any paper or
upon any billboard, and no train may
leave car that contains liquor upon
any track. No place of selling any
sort of goods may be called saloon.
officers may raid any place under sus-
picion and destroy goods found. The
presence of an internal revenue Ii
cense, whether liquor is found or not,
is prima facie evidence of guilt and
the proprietor may be arrested.

NO SPRING SHOOTING
Bill Introduced Prohibiting
Slaughter of Ducks for
Term of Three Years.

In response to the suggestion
of members who participated in
the debate on the spring shoot
ing bill Saturday, that they
would favor the enactment of a
law prohibiting shooting of
ducks for a term of years, the
committee on fish and game
introduced new bill in the
assembly which is war
ranted to make sportsmen sit up
and take notice.
The bill makes it unlawful for
any person to kill, injure, pursue
or disturb in any manner what
soever, any variety of Aquatic
fowl before Sept 10, 1912, and
authorizes the governor to ap-
point a sufficient number of game
wardens to enforce the provis-
ions of the act.
The bill went to the commit
tee on revision and will be on
the calendar for passage some
time this week. 1t is not believ-
ed the bill will last long when it
gets before the assembly.

Could Not See the Joke.

John E. Wilkie, chief of the federal
secret service, was trying to be nice
to an English friend in London not
long ago, and by way of so doing was
giving him the impression that stu
pidity is as much an American as a
British characteristic. IAN Ameri-
can," he said, was passing Westmin-
ster Abbey, and with native curiosity
inquired Of the bus driver the identi-
ty of the place. That said the bus
driver, is Westminster Abbey Is
that So the American returned, it
looks exactly like church.
As in all stories of this kind, "the
Englishman was silent for moment
or two" Then with mystified look
he turned to Mr.. Wilkie. We'll, Mr..
Wilkie,' he said, "the American was
quite right. Westminster Abbey Is a
church"

a Veil Hint.
woman.

If one wants to look ugly and SLOW
emily, let the veil stretch and hang
loose under the chin. No matter how
well it is adjusted everywhere else,
the appearance of woman is ruined.
A seller of imported veilings gives
this hint to overcome this difficulty.
After the veil is smoothly pinned and
fastened on the hat and nape of neck,
first try to draw back the objection
able fullness and secure it with in
visible hairpins.
Should there still be a pendent,
loose end under the chin, give it a
little twist and turn it under. The
veil holds smoothly in place, is much
more becoming and does not come
loose until the veil is removed.
AS this twisting usually comes in
the same place, it does not stretch
the lower edge of veil as much as
one would suspect. Even though it
does slight uneveness when the veil
is off is much better than lack OF
trimness when worn.

Durability of Concrete.

In the orange garden of the old Cap
ucian monastery, on a hillside about
three hundred feet above the Gulf of
Amalfl, Italy, there are a number of
queer mushroom-shaped tables. These
tables, apparently used by the monks
for reading purposes, are about two
and a half feet high and three feet
in diameter at the top and two feet
at the base They are OF concrete
and, though, according to local au-
thorities, of an age varying from four
hundred to eight hundred years, are
in an excellent state of preservation
The excellent condition of these old
tables furnishes additional proof OF
the durability of concrete as applied
to lawn and garden ornaments.

COMFORTING REINSURANCE
Quick Retort Brings Smile to Faces of
Passengers Threatened with
Starvation.

Some years ago an excursion steam
er returning from Alaska to Seattle,
dislocated its propeller in a dreary
portion of the inner passage and came
to forced stop. For two days the
vessels engineers and machinists la
bored to repair the break, but without
success. 1t was discovered that the
ships stores were not abundant.
Alarm bred in the minds of pessimis-
tic passengers, and the contagion
spread. Starvation might assail the
vessel before help arrived. A former
California official took it on himself to
reassure' his timid companions, but
his effort was not perfectly adapted
to raise dropping spirits.
In fact, his closing sentences but
added to the gloom. Let us be brave, -
he said. "If the worst comes, and that
dread necessity which in such misad-
faced by us, let us remember that 1t
is good to die that our friends may
live The one or more that may be
sacrificed will be consoled by that
thought"
There was a moments silence, awful
in its intensity, then a cheerful voice
was heard: You should be taken first
Governor Booth. You know the
bravest are the tenderest." And even
the terror-stricken smiled once more

TAFFETA TO COME IN AGAIN
Indications That 1t Will Take Former
Place as Material for
Petticoats.

Although dress fashions must take
first place in feminine minds, the pet
ticoat cannot be altogether neglected,
for it follows in the wake of the con-
tinued evolution. Soft materials,
whether silks or cottons, have become
the most desired for petticoats since
the sheath gown first appeared. We
now, however, may expect a change.
The narrowest skirts will be no longer
necessary and Knockers will gradually
go, while indications would seem to
show that the petticoat of taffeta will
regain first place, although for a time
no stiffness will break the line of the
gown and no rustling will herald the

The closely fitted petticoat of satin
or chiffon taffeta, with adjustable lin
gere rulIle, has come back, and it will

For those who prefer petticoats of
silk without lingerie trimming there
are pretty ones of messaline, sun
plated, and tretched to smoothness
around waist and hips. These are in
no way bulky, but they provide just
the dainty frou-frou that one naturally
associates with lovely, irresistible
