"Uth a Wuth a Wuth 9TH Uth!" She Said.

Surgical science is getting to be a
| great thing these days. You would
| never believe, to see Sue Granger Of
Betzville lick two-cent postage
stamp, that she was born tongue-tied.
She was, though, until she was two
years old, and then a surgeon came
down from the city and loosened up
her tongue, and when he was done she
had the best quantity and quality of
all-'round tongue in the village. She
has such sizeable tongue that when
she is writing letter it lops out like
dogs on hot day, and it was only
last week that she bit it badly whilst
writing to that blonde-headed young
fellow that comes up from the city
to see her on Sundays.
never shall forget that day last
winter when she was walking down
Main street eating hunk of yellow
taffy and choked on 1t. Just as she
choked she had to cough and her
tongue flew out and the end hit an
iron lamp post, and the frost in tho
lamp post glued the tip of her tongue
to it so tight that it seemed as If
nothing short of warm weather and
thaw would ever get 1t loose again.
OF course we're not what you might
call curious-minded in Betzville, but it
amt human nature to see girl stand
ing right in front of the grocery on
our most prominent corner with the
end of her tongue against a lamp
post and her hands waving in the air.
and not take little interest. So
mostly all the population gathered
there in two minutes, being surprised
to see young lady of our best social
circles rolling her eyes wildly and
connected close up with lamp-post
like she and it was a sort of new
style Siamese twins We walked all
around Sue and talked it over, but we
couldn't make any sense out of it, and
we was just about to decide it was
some new suffragette notion that had
just come to town when Uncle Ash
dod Clute thought he might as we'll
ask Sue. So he did. She rolled her
eyes at him kind of grateful.
"Uth a with q with nth uth!" she
said.
Uncle Ashdod is a pretty wise old
man, and he guessed what was the
matter right away, and as we seen it
might be inconvenient for Sue to
stand there that way until warm
weather turned up, on account of that
lamp-post being a favorite hitching-
post, and some horses being biters
and liable to bite Sue on the tongue, so
we set to work and formed commit
tee to get her loose.
But it wasn't any use. Sue Granger
had the most flexible tongue l ever
saw, and when the fellows had pulled
her back to the window of the gro
Gerry store they saw the tongue wasn't
going to come loose at either end, so
they let 60, and the tongue contracted
like rubber band and yanked Sue
across the sidewalk and slammed her
up against the lamp-post. All she said
was "Uth!" but we could see she did
not like it. And she wasn't going to
have it tried again, either, for she
wrapped her arms around that lamp
post and Rugged it tight.
Then the committee didn't know
what to do! We walked around and
around that lamp-post and studied the
situation, and then we saw that when
Sue had slammed up against it two or
three more lengths of her tongue had
struck the iron post and glued them
selves onto it tight. Well, it was

Motor Cars on Steam Railroads

Many a railroad in the older states
is perplexed by the building of inter-
urban lines that cut down the passen-
ger receipts of the steam railroads
seriously at some points. For ex-
ample, the trolley lines between Bir-
mingham and Bessemer carry all the
passengers while the steam road gets
none There will soon be two steam
railroads between Bessemer and Bir-
mingham, but neither will carry in
or out passengers going from one city
to the other The trolley does the
business.
The Rock Island railroad has be-
come tired of similar invasions of its
field and it is experimenting with Il
motor car that can be run at high
speed and yet that can be started and
stopped like a street car. 1t proposes
to put these motor cars on the tracks
used by the trains pulled by steam,
the object being to retain its passen-
ger business and to stop the construc-
ton Of many intururban roads.
A mixed motor and steam service
would be a novelty, but the Rock
Island thinks this is feasible, and its
tests will be watched with interest
by many railroad officials. The cars
on the Rock Island are not tied to a
wire. They are storage battery af-
fairs and these are not fully perfect
ed. Altogether the proposed motor
service on the Rock Island is expert
mental, and it may not prove as sat
isfactory on the rails as it appears
to be on paper.

Automobile Rally Tonight

Every automobilist in Jefferson
county is invited to attend the rally
at the Athletic club tonight. This event
will be held under the auspices of
the Birmingham Motor club and not
only is every member of the club ex-
pected to be on hand. but all owners
of auto cars living in neighborng
cities Avill be cordially welcomed.
Good roads in general and Birming-
ham and Atlanta routes in particular
will be discussed.
The pathfnders who will start out
next Tuesday to traverse three pro-
posed routes between here and the
Georgia capital, will explain to the
meeting some of the. details of their
plans and will hear suggestions from
those present There will be six path
finder cars and of these cars two will
go over each route. The motor club
will be called to meet on the return
of the pathfinders and on their re-
ports one of the three routes will be
selected and designated as the Off
cial route.
The matter of establishing route
between Birmingham and Atlanta and
also route between Birmingham and
Montgomery should have been taken
up and worked out before this, but
now that the automobilists are thor
! oughly alive to the Importance OF
| the projects, no time willSbe lost. OF
equal Importance to- the selection
of a Birmingham-Atlanta route is an
automobile road between Birmingham
and Montgomery. And next in i'm
portance is the route between Biz
mingham and Chattanooga All these
questions should bring out an anil
mated discussion tonight.

The Public Library

The Birmingham Public Library, in
the city hall, will be formally opened
today as a free institution for all
white persons living within the pres
ent city limits. While it is not as
we'll stocked as the library association
hopes soon to have it, it includes an
excellent collection of reference books,
many standard histories, very fair
assortment of fiction and much miscel-
lany. Connected with it is a large
reading room supplied with the best
current literature. All things consid-
cred it is an attractive library. 1t
is not, however, what city of Biz
mingham's size and pretentions should
have; for, after all, it is only a good
nucleus.
Our people have been too busy with
material things which were all the
while pressing in the upbuilding of
a new city to give much attention to
the creation anS maintenance Of a
free library. Nevertheless a few earn
est citizens have kept up an interest
in the institution and within the past
few months have given a decided slim
illus to the library movement.
The library will be kept open from
a. m. until 9 p. m. today and to-
morrow. Friends of the library will be
greatly encouraged if the people turn
out in large numbers. General inter-
est at the opening would indicate a
strong concert of action later on which
would result in grand library build
| ing and great collection of books,
such as one expects to find in all large

HOODS PRACTICAL JOKE.

From the Chicago News.
Thomas Hood was a confirmed practi-
cal joker. In 1927 he was taken i'll and
went with his wife to Brighton. He
was so weak that he had to be lifted
into the coach, but on the day follow
ing his arrival he allowed himself
Jest upon Mrs. Hood. At breakfast
Hood offered to give his wife a few hints
on buying of fish, on account of his
superior experience of the sea. above
all things. Jane" he said. ''as they will
endeavor to impose upon your inexper-
fence, let nothing induce you to buy a
plaice Ia fat spotted fish that has any
appearance of red or orange spots, as
they are sure signs of an advanced stage
of decomposition"
Mrs. Hood promised faithful compliance
In the innocence of her heart, and ac-
cordingly, when the fishwoman came to
the door, she descended to show off her
newly acquired information. AS it hap
pened the woman had very little ex-
cept plaice, and these she turned over
and over, praising their size and fresh
ness. But the obnoxious red spots on
every one OF them Stiu greeted MIS-
Hoods dissatisfied eyes On her limiting
doubt of their freshness, she was met
by the assertion that they were not
long out of the water, having been caught
that morning
/ This shook the housewives doubts, but
only for a moment, and remembering
Hoods account of the fishwomen's ways.
Al.
woman, it may be as you say, but could
not think of buying any plaice with those
very unpleasant red spots The wom-
ans answer was short: Lord BLESS your
eyes, mum. Who ever seed any without

three persons being but $129. In
eight families, representing different
occupations, four managed to save and
four incurred deficit, but the four
who saved had a total surplus of but
S192.50 and the four who ran behind
piled up a total debt of $562.5O, or a
net deficit for the eight families of
$3.50
The expenses of families have in
the course of Is years been increased
from 30 to 80 per cent, Wages have
not been increased in equal proportion
and the result is that many families
are unable to make ends meet in this
country. If in the approaching census
the facts about deficits in American
families could be brought out we
would have a series of facts of deep
est interest. There is no more i'm
portant subject than the cost of liy-
ing in average American families. We
do not need statements of a general
or theoretical nature; we need actual
family expenditures in the various
classes that constitute the population
of $4,000, 600.
After the facts are ascertained-
after we know how many are unabie
to pass through a year without ac-
cumulating a deficit-when we know
this accurately and definitely, includ-
ing. lists of receipts and expenditures,
then we will be in position to as
