citizen. A hobby Is nothing to be
ashamed Of l wish I had one. My ply
stefan has even prescribed one or more
hobbies. but have 80 far failed to take
to cultivate and develop a full grown
well rounded hobby
WeatherIy Wants a Hobby
James Weatherly, division counsel for
the Southern Railway at Birmingham, Is
another man who feels keeny the need of
hobby.
II envy the man with a hobby" said
Mr.. Weatherly. IT have tried to develop
something out of the regular run of my
professional or home life, but I can't
stick. I have taken turns In political his
tory, the rise and development of So
cialism and other sociological questions,
but I exhaust my interest and find myself
cropping for something else. 1 feel that
would like to have real bug on some
faddy subject"
But Mr.. Jemison and Mr.. Weatherly
are exceptions. Almost every other man
in Birmingham has some pet fad. Some
men ride their hobbies industriously and
get found out by the general public.
Other men are 80 jealous Of their hob
bies that even their intimate friends are
not aware of them.
John l.. Parker
There is John L. Parker, for instance.
He Is q druggist, a florist, gas developer.
school official. farmer, chairman Of pub
lie entertainment committees. banquet
toastmaster, and has done some politics
as a side line. Can you pick out his
hobby? 1t is none of the things men-
toned and yet these are the things you
see him doing when the public is look
ing.
He is a crank on birds and insects. He
is said to possess one of the finest and
best elected collections of stuffed birds,
butterflies and insects in the south. His
library on these subjects is complete.
This is his hobby.

what is your pet hobby?


What is your pet hobby?
What would you do If you had plenty
of money! =
And did not have to work?
What fad do you cultivate in your
hours of leisure?
What is your dream of blissful activity,
the occupation of mind and body that,
though it may be labor, does hot bear the
bitterness of work?
1t has been said that every man has
a hobby, Somefwill not admit it. Others
do not know or are unconscious of the
weakness or virtue as it may be.
Robert Jemison, Jr.
According to some. of the busiest and
brainiest men in Birmingham a pet hobby
Is something to be priced and nurtured.
One of the most miserable men in Biz
mingham is a man who has no hobby.
He is unhappy because he has no pet d.
version. He looks on while the other boys
in his class and station In life ride their
horses with a feeling of keen regret that
he cannot bring himself to mount and
join in the fun.
This man is Robert Jenison Jr., pres
ident, vice president, general manager,
secretary and treasurer of number of
enterprises. He works while he rests.
When business hours close, when the or
binary avenues of business activity are
shut to him, he reads books and maya
zines pertaining to his life work or plans
cel,ap,ae for tho newt day
II regret exceedingly thatiI must make
a confession of what I consider weak
ness" said Mr.. Jemison. II think some
hobby or fad is absolutely essenHal to the
well rounded man. Some innocent recre-
alton fits a man better for business,
makes him stronger, broader, better

Fred M. jackson
The city directory or the telephone book
give absolutely no hint of the special fad
of Fred M. Jackson. The best informa-
ton you can gather from these official
sources is that he is a building and loan
man and a mattress manufacturer. There
is not even a suggestion here that his
special speciality Is barbecuing meats. Yet
this is his hobby. He has almost a state
wide reputation for special art In this re-
spect and is never happier than when
called upon to do the fancy turn with a
carload of meat at public function in

TYPES OF RESPIRATION.
Breathing Exercises That Are Said
to Be of Great Value.

From the Medical Record.
The normal type of breathing exists
in children of both sexes up to the age
when the lives of girls and boys begin to
differ and their dress to change. Then,
owing to the DOMINIC of the corset the
type of respiration in the girl becomes
entirely superior, costal or diaphragmatic,
while that Of her brother remains of the
inferior costal type. the normal and de-
sirable one. Maurice Faure, in the Ga
zette des Hopitaux, brings out these facts
in an interesting way
Because the corset immobilizes the
lower part of the thorax the woman's
type is the costal. 1t results from a re-
gression. a degeneration OF the norma!
type. The primary object of resplra tory
education is to cause the child to preserve
it's costal respiration and make use of
both the diaphragm and the ribs. The
secondary object is to maintain the res
piratory interval, and expand the chest
Ii is a mistake to suppose that because
well. man may be a good athlete and
a bad breather.
Singing and blowing may be added to
the other exercises. permanent in
crease in the expansion of the chest may
be obtained by exercises. All sorts of eN-
the trunk are valuable Extension and
fieXion of the trunk and of the limbs
with the body fixed, both in the dorsal
position and standing. are valuable.
Aerobatic gymnastics are useless and
may be injurious SO far as increasing res
thorax and develop the muscles of the
arms rather than those of the thorax.
Graduated exercises of the shoulders.
trunk and thorax are indispensable.

The two girls came to the district about

succeeded in winning away from the
other girls their beaux. It took six

they put into execution was a success.

One OF the girls was led to relate all
that was transpiring at the bachelor
residence, and this was told to the other
girls. The young men were then sum-
moned and Informed that the bachelor
girls had told every thing" when the
abashed youths determined to get even.
Getting the two bachelor girls to
promise to meet two of their number near
the town last evening, the girls were set
upon by the band of enraged youths, who
matreated them and compelled them to
flee for their lives.
report Of the affair was made to the
police. who are trying to locate the miss
ing girls, as well as to ascertain who
were responsible for the outrage.
