"Futurist Venice"

From the New York World.
There Is q plan on foot to pull Venice
down and make it over. The movement
is fathered by half a dozen Futurist
poets and painters who climed the clock
tower. from the top of which they threw
down on the bowling agitation of the
enormous crowd filling the st. Mark
place 100000 multi-colored manifests'

needed. If the symptoms resemble those
of traumatic dementia, it is physically
certain that the victim can never come

ly lack of common sense, the case is

We repudiate the ancient Venice ex-

possessed it in the anguish of a great

Covering so Square
Miles OF territory

The Birmingham Railway Light and Power Com
pany covers approximately so square miles of ter
ritory The street railway tracks cover all the terri
tory the electric light lines it all and the gas
mains cover about so square miles
This is probably the largest amount of territory
covered by any public service corporation in any city
in America Of less than 100000 population, and it is
caused by the fact that Birmingham has spread more
rapidly and in more different directions than any
Other city of it's size in the country.
Birmingham in population, compares with Nash
vile, Atlanta Memphis, Richmond, and is probably
twice the size of Chattanooga, Montgomery and Mo
bile In the amount of territory covered by the public
service utilities, Birmingham probably exceeds any
of the first four named by 10 to 20 per cent and the
area covered is probably three or four times that Of
Chattanooga, Montgomery Mobile.

Any business will testify to the fact that the
greater the territory covered the greater the percent

There longer wires, longer mains, longer tracks
required to deliver electricity, gas and to haul pas

investment greater interest
If Birmingham condensed like other Cities
if the territory covered by built up, we
could naturally operate economically; or we
could make greater gross considerably
smaller percentage of increase of expenses
These facts are worth considering when compar-
ing Birmingham with other cities in any way.

is struck with the superiority of service here when
compared to other cities of relatively the same size

MAKE YOUR OWN
HAIR TONIC
A Specialists Advice.

In a recent issue the New York
Herald published a special article
on the care Of the hair, in which
was given the formula for a home
made Hair Tonic, which was highly
recommended for its remarkable
airgrowing properties. as well as
for stopping falling hair, reyitalizing
the hair roots, and destroying the
dandruff germ. This article was OF
special interest to me, as the formula
was one which ! myself have seen
used in countless cases with most
astonishing benefit, thus confirming
my belief that homemade prepara-
tions are the best. For the bene-
fit of those who have not seen it
before l give the formula herewith.
Procure from your druggist an
eight ounce bottle containing SIN
ounces of Bay Rum, also purchase
two-ounco sealed bottle OF Layona
de Composee' (Smith's), and one
half drachm Menthoi Crystals. Dis
solve the Crystals in the Bay Rum
and then add the Lavona de Com
posee'; shake thoroughly and apply
night and morning to the roots of tn,
hair, rubbing into the scalp with
the finger tips. This preparation con
tains no coloring matter, but re
stores gray hair to its natural color
by its action on the hair roots. II
you desire it perfumed add one
teaspoonful of To-Kalon Perfume
which combines perfectly with tnt
other ingredients and imparts a most
pleasing scent. Be sure to get all
enclosures in the Layona de Com
posee' package. as they give mucl
valuable advice on care OF the hair
and besides entitlo you 20 n sprink-
Ter top for your bottle. free OF
charge.
Do not apply where hair is no;

CONFERENCE NOTES.
The Sunday School Anniversary

Friday night in the auditorium of
the Broadway church was held the
Sunday school anniversary OF the
church. The meeting was presided
over by Rev. w. J. Moore, confer
ence secretary OF Sunday schools,
and the first address was made by
Dr. Bullard, OF the Baltimore con
ference, having charge of the Wesley
Adult Bible Study department of the
Sunday school work. This Is
branch of the International Bible
Study class organization and affiliat-
ed with it. 1t was ordered by the
last session of the general conference
and Is already very popular and
growing rapidly in the church. 1t in
no way divorced the organized Bible
classes from the International organ
ization, and the charter to the Wes-
ley Bible classes is signed by the
secretary OF the International organi-
zation.
The principal address of. the even
ing was delivered by Dr. II. NJ. Ham
il. superintendent OF the teachers
training department OF the Sundsy
school department. # was full of
pertinent suggestion and wise advice,
and was well received.
But one OF his numerous anc en-
tertaining illustrative anecdotes can
here be given. He went to GER
tain young pastor and asked his CO.
operation in the organization OF
teachers training class in HIS church.
He replied, Il do not feel called up
on to teach In and do Sunday school
work: | am called to preach And
| assure you" continued DR.. Hamil,
that the most serious offense that
he could have been convicted of in
any court OF law would have been of
an assault with intent to preach.
The audience last evening was
more largely made up of children
and young people than at any time
before in the present session, and
the way that DR. Hamil held their
rapt attention proved that he is no
"mis-fit' in his present position In
the work of the church.
