FOUR WANT PLACES
 ON COMMISSION John A. Lusk Is Candidate to
 Succeed Himself M'CORD MAY ENTER RAGE Much Talk About Line-Up-Retiremcnt of Judge WeakIey From Governors Race VIII Benefit Mallory in
 Coming Race
M'CORD MAY ENTER RAGE
By HERvEY W. LAIRD

Montgomery, February 2.-(Special.) T am candidate to succeed myself on the railroad commission" said Col. John A. Lusk of that body Wednesday, when asked as to his future. Some days ago he made the announcement that he was going to run, but had made no formal announcement. T am going to keep closely at my york; continued the col onel, but hope to be able to see large number of the people and present my claims" Colonel Lusk went on the com mission IS months ago, taking the place of Maj. John G. Harris, deceased. Prior to that time he was a member of the state senate from Marshall, his home county
 Four in the Contest
 This gives race of four men for two places. No two can come from the same congressional district. They are Colonel Lusk, member of the body; S. P. Ken nedy, secretary of the commission: Frank N. Julian. secretary of state, and Thomas Scale of Livingston. Leon Me Cord, leader of the safe and sane move ment in the last election, Is anticipated for the same fight, with prospect of G. w. Pratt, cotton mill man of Tusca- loosa. Friends of McCord state that he lis almost certain to enter for this of fee. as 1t will not take all his time and will be of such nature as to allow resi- dence in Montgomery, where he has cast his lot in large measure, though still citizen of Marshall.
 Talk of Ticket Making
 Some interesting talk has been going the rounds about an alleged slate, said to have been made up by one of the ernor. If the reports are authentic one can show nothing but surprise at the selections made, looking at them from a political standpoint. However, the story seems so far fetched as a cam paign contribu ution that it is taken as joke more than anything else. At the same time there Is a great deal of talk about line-ups and the next few days should show which way the wind Is going to turn in the matter of who is who in the running.
 The retirement of Judge Weakley is Mallory, as he and the judge were on the ticket of the amendment. It may be, however, that many north Alaba ma men who were aforetime for Weakley will get in now behind their other fel-

CTENOGRAPHERS and clerks in
- the government offices in Wash
ington seldom take more than pass
ing notice of the affairs of state that
come before the department chiefs
for settlement, but a conversation be-
tween two young women in the de-
partment of commerce and labor
few days ago showed that one subject
at least, had aroused their interest.
1t is the question of sealskins. The
department faces the terrible catas-
trophe of an increased cost in seal
skin coats for women The average
woman could worry along for a while
longer watching prices of meats. eggs
and nearly every other article of
physical sustenance take flight sky
ward, but how she is going to survive
without a sealskin sacque is what is
worrying the benevolently not to say
paternally inclined officials of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
II have been wanting one SO bad
ly,'' Miss Blank was heard to say to
the young woman with a great bunch
of rats in her hair. but mercy me.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-'I you pick your

a tree which has been struck by
lightning will you ever have tooth
ache?"
This, and three thousand other va
rieties of superstitious beliefs, having
been investigated by DR.. F. B. Dress
lar, professor of psychology in the
University of Alabama, he found that
As per cent. of the people whom he
questioned believed in them. This
was his declaration in an address be-
fore the Medico-Psychologica associa-
ton, one of the branches of the Amer
lean Congress of Physicians and Sur
geons.
Superstitions and superstitious be-
hefs are still powerful factors in hui
man behavior, he said, and, as far as
known, superstition is exclusively a
human manifestation, not being
known among lower animals. 1t is
due, he added, to an animistic con-
ception of the universe which holds
that sticks and stones play part in
the life of man and conspire against
him. Mans superstitious beliefs are
variable, he declared, changing with
his condition of Aind and body and
even with the weather and time of

Dolliver Enters Home With a Jimmy

was all because he has more than one
suit of clothes-not an unusual thing
for a senator, although he is not a mil

the other suit.

Massachusetts avenue, and without

home as easily as a trained "yegg"

Sour grapes" was Miss Blanks
comment, as she swept out of the
room.
The benevolent, not to say paternal
ly inclined officials of the department,
however, were confronted with the
problem Of whether or not the seal
grounds of the Pribiolf islands shall
be closed under authority granted by
congress. If the grounds are closed
the price of sealskin coats will go
skyward, along with other necessities.
If they are left open the price will re-
main at the present figure for while
longer, but eventually will go up, as
the fur-bearing herds of the Boring
sea are depleted. So to the officials
of the department the issue has re-
solved itself into the question as to
whether it is best to hold down the
price for a while by releasing the
sealing rights and letting the women
of a future period stand the really
high prices.

Commercial company, which for 20
years has enjoyed the exclusive privi-
lege of taking the seals. expired

say anything about the person who
is sure that bad luck is to follow if

Then there's the person who would
rather walk a mile than to pass under

us the one who wouldn't think of
picking up a pin unless the sharp
end pointed toward him, although it
would be easy to walk around the
pin before picking it up.
