This comment on the award made

greatly disappointed over the amount
of alimony.

causes OF tuberculosis and the proper
preventive measures. I think that is
another reason why such small houses
as this are becoming popular in the
outskirts of our larger cities. It often
happens that these comfortable little
cheap houses are built with the expec-
tation of living in them during the
summer months, but in reality the
families remain in them the greater
part of the year, sometimes moving
into the city only for the months of
January and February
We are learning new tricks in
building houses and in making use of
them every year. And we are becom-
ing more sensible. There is less vul-
gar display and more solid comfort.
Fewer men are building big houses for
the notoriety it brings them. More
men are building little comfortable
houses just big enough for their needs,
and small enough so the women folks
can take care of them without killing
themselves. I have simply noted the
desire ON the part of the populace
for smaller and more convenient
houses and have made plans accord
ingly. I have tried to give people
what they want, and I believe I have
succeeded.
The interior of this little house is
made the most of. The large living
room. 12x19 feet in size, is very attrac-
tive, md it offers advantages in the
way of furnishing that will be taken
advantage of by women who are par
ticular to arrange their living room
with an idea to comfort.
In the plan as shown the chimney is
conveniently placed both for the
kitchen and for fire in the living

Mcdowell said that he enjoyed his stay at the capital and enjoyed hob nobbing with the lawmakers He said he felt that there was no doubt but that EnSleyS light was safe. He said that the representatives only wanted to hear both sides of the case in order that they might understand the issues to better advantage. He said that ne felt sure that everybody would be given fair and square deal and that he felt that every one of the representatives wanted to give Ensley as near her Just deserts as was possible.

 There are two factions In Ensley and one faction favors Greater Birmingham while the other faction is fighting 1t. It cannot, therefore, be said that Ensley is fighting the bill. Besides Woodlawn. North Birmingham and Pratt City nave as much right in the premises as Ensley. When Ensley hurriedly annexed Fairview and Osceola, she forced the Chamber of Commerce to include Ensley in the bill. All sides submitted their cases before the Chamber of Commerce, which voted unan imousy that justice required that all the suburbs be tre ated exactly alike I find that the legislature is disposed to regard the action of the Chamber of Commerce as that of an impartial local jury, and we have refused to trade off the weaker suburbs for the benefit of one faction in Ensley. When the case Is regularly heard by the legislative committee I have no doubt but that their verdict will be in favor of the bill as proposed by the Cham Der of Commerce and that the favorable reports of the committees will be adopted by the legislature
