motor hat. a Walking hat dress hat. a sort of "go between hat. and an evening hat?
 Some of the new hats, of course, are extreme" said Miss Harris as she chat ted for a moment yesterday as scores of Birmingham's prominent modishees were thronging the parlors. But they arn't as bizarre and ludicrous as those last year, when the peach basket hats and the coal seuttle bonnets made their appearance. This year the shapes are quite conventional and the trimming Is the all important feature. There are flowers everywhere. and tulle by the bolt. Lace, ribbon and velvet are used extensively and no hat is quite com plete without the velvet lining."f
 "Feathers and plumes?" asked an in- quirer.
 They are always used by those who have them and quflls are perennially stylish on tailored hats" responded Miss Harris
 And forthwith opening the most im- mense of boxes. which foretold the story that the Merry Widow" dimsn- sions at least are not a thing of the past, a beautiful display of imported hats was shown, consisting of every aginable shape and color, every one of which seemed prettier and more al- turing than the other.

PROMINENT PHYSICIAN
SHOT BY E1S BROTHER

Baltimore, May 16.-Dr H. Burton Stew
enson, physician of Sherwood, Balti-
more county. was shot in the face to-
day by his brother, Allen Stevenson, who
is said to be mentally deranged. The
wound is not believed to be serious.
Allen, whose mental condition has made
1t necessary for him to undergo treatment
at times, had been employed on some
houses his brother Is building at Sher-
wood, but the work having been finished,
he was today informed that there was
nothing more for him to do. He appears
to have interpreted this as an attempt
of Dr. Stevenson to get rid of him and
this impression led to the shooting.
DIR. Stevenson Is. very well known. He
Is the author of a number of medical
books, and a few years ago startled the
medical world by advocating that I'M
mates in asylums be used for medical ex-
periments.
Allen Stevenson is a retired engineer in
the United States navy.
