 SEWERAGE SYSTEM
TUSCALOOSA WILL VOTE ON $25,- GOO BOND ISSUE-PERSiSTE PROHIBITION SPEAKER IS PUT INTO JAIL.

Tuscaloosa, September 17.-(Special)- council chamber in regular session The business transacted was largely routine, although several matters of interest came up. Most important of these was the re- port of the city engineer on the needed improvement in the present sewer system. After this report was read an ordinance was introduced and adopted calling for an election for the issuance of bonds to the amount of s25,000 to put in the addi- tonal sewerage system. At this meeting, also, the Fuller bill and the Carmichael bill were incorporated Into the city code. This was done by means of quite a long ordinance which was in effect a condensa- ton of the two drastic prohibition bills. protest was heard on the assessment of the cost of curbing and guttering the as the River Hill, and a committee ap- pointed to take up the matter and re- port back to the council.
 A slight ripple was created here today when an itinerant prohibition speaker was stopped by the chief of police from addressing crowd on the streets and was later arrested for repetition of his speech-making. The speaker gave his name as Adams, and was speaking to a crowd that had assembled to hear hin oh one of the business thoroughfares when the chief of police approached and stated to him that under instructions from the mayor he had to ask him to discon-

 An interesting game was played in which the spelling of the word riders figured, the contestants throwing dice on each of which some letter of the word appeared. The score was kept on cards bearing the monogram of the club. After this a progressive walk was a pleasant intermission.

The contestants were rewarded with prizes, the boys being a cravat in the club colors and the girls stock and picture of a riding girl

BY MYRTLE MILES.

It was given in celebration of virglnia's birth day, and was one of the happiest juvenile occasions of the fall. MT. and Mrs. Jem- ison's immense lawn is an deal place for little people to play and the tiny tots roamed and romped until late afternoon on the fresh grass, not going into the house at all
 One of the happiest features of the oc- casion was the cutting of two huge Jack Horner' pies, one for the boys and one for the girls Each was filled with trophies-toys of many varieties, dolls. lanterns, dollhouses, horses, dogs and what not.
 The children gathered about a large table stationed in pretty spot where the foliage Is thickest on the lawn. At each little boys place was drum filled with candy and to the little girls pretty bas- kets filled with bon-bons were given to the girls. Instead of the old-fashioned donkey contest that has furnished merri- ment for hosts of children, pinning the tail on a Teddy bear was the contest of yesterday, and was one of the jolliest im- aginable. The prize for the girls was a feather fan and for the boys a pair of cuff links.

Here they are upon us once more' the glad season of
 School days, school days,
 Dear old golden rule days"
 As the popular song goes, and all the little maids and misses of our acquaint- ance are busy with preparations for the coming session.
 Weeks before this time anxious mothers have hastened home from summer out ings to plan and perfect the wardrobe that the children must have for school. Mothers have the clothes question to con tend with at all times. and through all seasons, but in September the schooi out fit must be ready and waiting TOT the first days of school-dresses, hats, wraps stockings shoes, rubbers, raincoat' hair ribbons. gloves and veils. It IS no sfnaii undertaking to get all these accessories together, particularly when there are seV- eral girls in one family, and to avoio the confusion attendant upon opening days n f school when books, satchels, lunch pas xets and things like that occupy ones ,,,na the clever mother has all of the leisure she wants to attend to these things because my llttle lauy h"' o provided with her wardrobe weeks be- fore.
 Of course there are those who always put off to the last moment doing things for their children, the type is frequently seen, and for the benefit of that kiho a few suggestions may help to obviate the difficulties which arise from doing things in a hurry.
 To begin with, my little lady Of tooay requires d great deal more than the one of yesterday, who wore calico frocks and stiff. starched pinafores-somethng rareiy seen nowadays.

This saves A lot of trouble and worry, if only the mother has in her mind the right things to buy for her daughter, and the first 10 be considered is a tailor suit.

MEYER DETERMINED
TOSNASH BUREAU"
Naval Secretary Starts
Sweeping Reform of
Department.

I'm making public announcement today
Of his sweeping reforms In the navy,
Secretary Meyer smashes the old "bu-
reau system as w"s predicted in The
Times that ne would Dc.
But his activities in regard to improv-
aeet. He wants hig naval bases, in each
ting into execution OF the plans an
nounced today.
Mr. Meyer Is strongly opposed to q
great number of navy yards. He, In
common with other supporters OF q
better navy" is convinced that ef-
ficiency can be suJserved by abOlishing
some Of the svsder yards and putting
the money they would require into the
bigger ones. Il was only a few weeks
ago that his advisers described him as
being ready TO recommend that all the
yards on the Atlantic coast south Of
Norfolk. Va, be closed up and absn-
doned.
POStpOnes Recommendation.
He has, however, decided to postpone
any recommendation on this subject
until he has made further investiga-
lions. There are yards at Pensacola,
Charleston. and New Orleans, and 1t is
regarded as inevitable that he WI
eventually ask Congress TO abando7
two, II not all three, Of them. At ore
time he thought the yard at Philade.-
phia should be abandoned.
His attitude IN regard to the navy
yards Is shown In his present announce
ment, where ne says everything should
be subordinated to the efficiency of the
ing the navy do not stop with the put
Of which everything needfui can be
done for the feet. He does not want
navy yards that are too small to do
anything much but eat up good money.
The reorganization plan inaUgurated
bv Secretary Meyer in the Navy De
partment Is said 90 be the most sweep
ing since the establishment OF the de-
partrnent in 1912. The supremacy Of the
bureaus and the bureau chiefs, who
have been almost independent Of the
Secretary Of the Navy. is destroyed,
and the real fighting officer OF the navy
is given 81 chance to take part in tho
management Of the department
Appoints Four Aids
Under the new plan there are four
aids. 10 be. known as laid for mate
nal" to which position Rear Admiral
william Swift, commandant OF the Bos-
ton navy yard. has been appointed;
laid for personnel" Rear Admiral
William Potter. chief Of the Bureau OF
Navigation; laid for operations OF the
fleet" Rear Admiral Richard VAIN
wright, and laid FOR Inspections"
Capt Aaron Ward.
These four aids are really for n gen.
ersI staff for the Secretary Of tive Navy.
and will be his constant advisers. The
bureaus are grouped into two divisions
Of personnel and material, according to
the nature OF their duties.
The reorganiza ton means the estaC-
llshment Of a division Of operations for
