Street Names on Curbs
Municipal journal and Engineer

Municipal Journ
A method of placing street names on
curbs. which is novel to us, has been
adopted by the city of Pasadena, Cal,
and at our request S. J. Van Ornum,
the city engineer, has sent us the fol-
lowing information concerning the
same:
Formerly there was great deal or
complaint from delivery men ana VS.
itors. and also from the police, that it
was almost impossible to locate given
number, as these were generally placed
in an inconspicuous place. Recently the
mayor has been authorized to have the
names of the streets and the numbers
of the houses painted on the curbs
throughout the city, and he has en-
ployed two painters to do this work.

ASSERTS SELF SUPPORTING
WOMEN NEED BALLOTS All

Editor Herald: The statements of
Zone Woman" in the Letter Box are
true in every particular. If women
property owners need the protection
of the ballot, how much more do self
supporting women (often supporters
of children as WELD require that pro-
tection Women who live in sheltered
homes, with husbands to support and
protect them, are apt to become self

and Engineer
The names of the streets are placed
on the face of the curb close to the
street intersection, and consist of black
letters one and half inches high on a
white background, painted by means
of stencil. The house numbers are
painted on the top of the curb directly
in front of each house, being black on
white ground. similar to the street
names. The white paint, Of oil and
white lead, is first applied; and after
this is thoroughly dry the black let
ters are stenciled on, the paint used
consisting of one-half bone black and
one-half lamp black mixed with oil.
The approximate cost of this work is
cents per each house number and
cents for each street name.

NEW FEATURES FOR
 SOCIETY CIRCUS
IN ADDITION TO ATHLETICS SOME FANCY DANCING BY WELL KNOWN BIRMINGHAM LADIES WILL BIZ NOVEL ATTRACTION

l Will Streit and w. l.. Anderson will be circus. which will be held March IA, at the Jefferson theatre. MT. Anderson is the physical director at the club and is a finished athlete. With Will Streit doing the bottom work, Anderson will perform some marvellous athletic feats in the air This act will be one of the features of circus that will be filled with features. The Birmingham Athletic club quartet will render some good songs on this occa- sion, and the members are now rehears- ing songs for the occasion.
 There will be local hits at the circus and the jokes told at the expense of promi- nent citizens will be well worth hearing and the circus this year promises to sur pass all former efforts. In the first act, which will be devoted to acrobatic work, Sid B. Jones will jump over five horses standing abreast The aerial horizontal bar act is going to be thriller as will also the flying ring act. High and lofty tumblng indulged in by several athletes of the club will be an interesting part of the first act.
 The second part will be vaudeville and concert. In this part the ladies and girls of Birmingham society will appear for the approval of the public. The fancy danc- ing to be executed by these ladies is going to be well worth the price of ad- mission. Special fancy dances will be put on by Ed Miles and Gertrude Motion, the latter reputed to be the best fancy dan cer in the city. There is a lot in store for those who see the Society circus'A The promise is made that it will be the best yet given. Rehearsals are being hel,n every Monday, Wednesday and F'rida sl night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Judge CoIeman's Letter

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 There are some corrections I wish to make in the article credited to me in yesterdays iss ue. In the sixteenth line of the third column the words command cummin" The full text is mint, aniss and cummin," found in the twenty-third verse of the twenty-third chapter of Matthew. These words represent matters of very minor importance, compared with these of weightier importance and were used by me in this sense.
 In the same column of the paper, at the close of the seventh paragraph, which begins with ''If MT. Knox thinks-' there should be a period after the word 'as- sistance." The next word should begin with a capital and the paragraph should end as follows: "Both Senator Bankhead and Congre ssman Richardson voted for me for solicitor in 1S65''
 | Some two-thirds down the fourth col- lmn, following the words Bacon and greens" I used the word ''syllabub," hot in the sense of the word syllabus" but referring to a weak, sweet beverage called "syllabub' in the cook books. Just one more. In the fifth column and fifth line of the second paragraph are the words condensed milk" This is as I wrote it but substituted later the words "the pabulum of his patronage" which possibly you overlooked. In the reference to Malvolio, the word 'com- mend" was used instead of the work | command.
 If you will publish the above I will ba greatly obliged. Yours truly. THOMAS W. COLEMAN.
