WOODLAWN VICTORY
BY FED BROWN

We had very easy time in defeat ing Powell Thursday afternoon at Wood lawn. We were in the best of condi- ton and the visitors were not in their usual fine form. Green of Woodlawn was the star of the game. making 20 points. He could not be held down; he would even put them in with hanging all over him. The final score was 20 to g. The lineup was as follows: Heln, Green, Montgomery, Brown. Gillian.
 It seems to us as if Young Mems Chris tian association might have counted their chicks before they matched, when they said that they had the pennant cinched, for since then they have lost two games, one to Powell and one to Wood lawn, the boys whom the dope favored for champions at the beginning of the season. Well, If they defeat East Laks next Thursday we will be tied for the pennant. But, if East Lake defeats the handsome bunch we will take the rag as a precious gift
 Say, we have a few rooters at Wood- lawn; if you doubt 1t ask Powell or Young Mems Christian association. Percy Meadow of the High school officiated and did great work

BOYS CLUB NOTES
BY TOMMY WATSON

Well, what do you know about that? These o. T. S. club boys have gotten together in good style and are going to build them a little clubhouse on large vacant lot near where they are now meet ing. This lot has been promised to them as long as they want 1t, and they are going to raise all the money themselves so that the clubhouse will be their real own When everything is fitted up we hope they will invite all the rest of the boys out to see this branch Boys club It certainly is dandy to have place all your own for the boys who live out there to have their club in. Here's wishing you boys all the good times there is.
 And it was last Friday that the Story Tellers group had such great time out at some fine lady's house, who read them stories, and sang songs, and fed all the boys with a whole great big chocolate cake and fruit. There was just eight or nine of the boys that went, and now they want to be the whole Story Tellers group by themselves. Well, I reckon some of the rest of us would like to get in on this story telling-cake business. Anyhow, we've got our names in the pot for next time.

A stuart's Tablet not only aids diges- tion but it actually does the disesting itself In other words it furnishes ex- act,y the same elements for the diges- ton of food as the natural juices Of the stomach. The stomach, therefore, is not called upon to do any of the work except to churn the juices furnished by the tablet and then push the digested food along into the intestines where it will be still further digested and the strength taken up by the blood to be carried to the muscles and nerves of the body.
 So by taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet after a meal you give the stom- aci1 the rest it needs in which to mend itself and grow well again. And you absolutely prevent the souring of any food. the formation of any poisonous gases, belching, foul breath or constl- patton.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done more for humanity and have caused more rejoicing than any other one agency that can he named
 Every druggist everywhere sells and personally recommends Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets The price is 50 cents per box. If you. first wish to try them sample package will be sent you free if YOU write to F. A Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

BY c. ". WILSON

As the basketball season is rapidly drawing to a close something should be said of the great doings of the players
 The Junior B team a whole has made a good showing this year and de- serves all the credit given them. The Junior B team also has been doing good playing and also deserves credit for what they have done. They have made all oth- CT teams sit up and take notice, but in two cases they sat up and took notice.
 The Leader club held it's weekly meet ing Thursday night. and instead of the regular programme the members had all the period doing apparatus work. Every thing is getting along smoothly and all the boys are eager for the exhibition which will take place in March.
 A place on the Leader club is an honor coveted by many of the boys classes at the Young Mems Christian association, and those already on 1t are striving to keep their places.
 There will be a regular meeting for boys this afternoon at 8 o'clock at the Young Mems Christian association. All boys are cordially invited
 There were no games played by either Young Mems Christian association teams last week, as the Junior team is prac- ticing for the Woodlawn team, which will decide the championship.

BUDDIES CLINCH
 CHAMPIONSHIP

With large crowd of enthusiastic root CTS cheering both teams. the First Pres byterian Brotherhood. best known as the Buddies. defeated the First Methodists by score of 10 to 9. both seniors and juniors winning by the same score.
 This practically cinches the John l.. Parker pennant for the older boys, un less by some chance they should allow the tail enders to defeat them next Sat urday. It also complcates matters in the smaller league, making it possible for the First Presbyterians and the Eleventh Avenue Methodists to tie mp for cham pionship, provided the Presbyterians can trim the league leaders of Five Points Methodists. next Saturday.
 The deciding game yesterday was a great one. The Methodists took the lead by six points and had the advantage at the end of the first half, but when Elm met Collins got his hand in there was no stopping him. Long. Collins, Ruffner and Brewer make a team that is hard to beat. Of the points Collins scored 13 and Long 2. The Methodists' lineup was Latham, Dominick Duncan. Naff, Major and McMahon. For the smaller team, John Hall and Odom were the stars.
 East Lake defeated the three-man team of First Baptists 3S to 2, while Southside Raptists forfeited to St. Johns. Here is 4l

When Birmingham Goes To Lunch
Citizens
 
By WALTER HARPER

average of HOO meals a day. Several others serve as many.
 It is a conservative estimate that all these restaurants and lunch places serve an average of 500 meals daily each.
 That means that 100000 meals are served every day in such places in the city of Birmingham. Placing the average cost of each meal at 30 cents we have total cost for our transient or habitual daily feed bill of sSO.o0O.
 Now, remember that meals taken in tho private homes and in the boarding houses are not included in this estimate. These would probably double the figures given.
 If only half the people that take meals at restaurants take coffee we have a cof- fee bill of $2500 a day or $17500 week. This is a ridiculously low estimate. 1t may easily be double this amount.
 If half the diners take eggs. two to the order, we have a total of 100000 eggs or S333tl dozen. At 30 cents dozen these eggs cost $2500 and requires the laying service of more than 100000 hens of strict ly first grade laying quality. The hens would be worth all the way from $l0000o up to Sl,000,000.
 These diners consume one and a half sacks of salt a day. The pepper is esti- mated at 75 pounds.

 One of the most interesting scenes in Birmingham is downtown lunch counter of the first class in action between the hours of 12, noon. and 2 o'clock.
 It Is equal to a bargain rush in de- partment store where 37-cent lace has been marked down to AS cents for three hours.

EVIDENCE CLOSES
 ON DREAD CAMORRA

yiterbo, Italy. February 21.-The au- tailed confession by Gennaro Abbate- maggie, one of the 49 alleged mem bers of the Camorra. whose trial for the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife, the beautiful Sorrestina," ]" is set for March II. Dependence is not placed wholly on revelations made to secure convictions but the statements of the man have been of great assistance to the police for guidance in their col lecting evidence.
 A case in point was that his declar- alton of the assassination has been to represent the success of their mission to Enrico Alfano of the alleged Cam orra at the Mimi-A-Mare, an inn in Torre Del Greco, where he had ar ranged to dine that night.
 The investigation of detectives dis closed that Alfano was at the inn Alb : batemaggio said, and that while he was dining with a party of friends he was approached by two men who carried bloodstained coats upon their asff,ms. They saluted "Erricone," as AL aaiico also acknowledged, and said: "It is saidt," whereupon the chief drew a deep breath and gave each a glass of wine.
 So circumstsantial was the proof of this happening rIaat Erricon did not deny it but explained the affair by saying the men wer@ two poor fel- lows who had come to salute him and that he could no less thanN give them 6 drink.
 <. The subsequent arrestl of Erricon end several associates wa)s the cause of popular rejoicing which gave way to indignation when he was later re- leased through the conniNance of the priest Giro Vittozzi. who is now a pris- oner himself, charged with being d member of the Camorra.

POWELL SCHOOL
BY HOUSTON BAILEY.

Results at Woodlawn Thursday were: Junior A. Woodlawn, 30; Powell. g.; Junior B, Woodlawn, 10; Powell, '. Pretty bad. especially for the Junior Bs, who had the game to 0 at the end of the first half. The Junior A team of Wood lawn played splendidly and deserved to win. They look to us like pennant win ners. but you can't always tell what will happen We hereby extend an invitation to the Young Mems Christian association and Woodlawn to play off the cham pionship on our court.
 On Monday afternoon our Junior B team met and defeated the Young Mems Chris tian association champions by the score of 19 to 13. What a pity they couldn't have played like that in the league game? Next week we meet the Birmingham Ath- letic club in our final game of the sea- son. Here's hoping that we can trim them and cinch third place in the stand ing.
 Again. we suggest that the grammar schools get together and organize a base ball league. Powell has never had a baseball team, but Is anxious to make a start this year.
 Next Thursday. March g, at East Lake Powell versus Birmingham Athletic club. Don't forget to come and help us finish the season with a victory over our old rivals.

The True Secret
 of Beautiful Hair
my Lester in World Magazine.

Amy Lester In World Magazine.
 A famous French actress, well known in America, recently stated in an inter- view: Nearly every woman knows the excellent results that follow dry shampoo ing, but too many depend upon orris root alone to keep he hair and scalp in good condition. Orris root will not grow hair.
 ''The best dry shampoo l know Is made by mixing ounces of powdered thcrox and ounces of orris root. Sprinkle little of this mixture upon the head and brush it thoroughly through the hair. The true secret of successful dry sham poo is to distribute the orris root and therox through the hair evenly; use a sitter top can if you have It. Then don't spare the brush.
 This treatment keeps the hair light, fluffy and lustrous, while too much mois- ture on the hair and the alkali in most soaps tends to make the hair coarse, dry, brittle and dull in color"

Every hour of the day and night is lunch hour in the city of Birmingham as it is in every metropolitan city of the country.
 The tinkle of the dinner bell never ceases it's merry music and never fails to bring eager and ready devotes of the epicurean god.
 Whether we are hungry or not we eat eat from morning to night and from night to morning. There is never an hour whether at noon or midnight, afternoon or in the darkening hours of the early morn- ing but that the eating establishments are serving up hash and pie to hungry or habitual feasters.
 Some people eat from habit. Some eat because they have formed a custom of eating two, three or four times a day and when the usual hour comes they eat. They may not feel the necessity for food but they must eat It Is part of the days regular routine and must not be neglected
 Some people eat with severe delibera- ton. Others drive themselves to the lunch counter through d sense of duty. Some people enjoy eating. To others it is bore-a kind of religious penance.
 But however, or whyever. we eat and eat all day and all night
 There is an aggregate of POO restaurants and lunch rooms in Birmingham exclusive of hotels and boarding houses.
 AS many as a dozen are open all night They do business or they would not re- main open The stoves, grates and coffee urns are never allowed to cool.
 One downtown restaurant serves an
