 The Auburn team, na turally impreg- nable in defense has not developed yet any scoring power. Ability to score has always been the thing which Au- burn teams have lacked, in some de- gree while they possessed in the high est degree. the ability to prevent being scored upon.
 Manning, one of the two backs upon whom Auburn is depending mainly has been out of the game for a week be- cause Of an inconvenient boil It is likely that he will not be in the game tomorrow. In event of his absence It is likely that Kearley, Davis and Major only one of whom has had experience in the back field before this season, will play as backs against Mercer.

GATHERING DATA
 ON TAX RATES

Commissioner James Weatherly has been furnished a great deal of informa : tion showing the difference between the tax rates in Birming gham and other cities in the south and elsewhere Of about the same size.
 The data of MT. Weatherly, he said yeSterday was to be used by him m studying the tex proposition and per haps he would make statement 10 the public in that regard some time soon.
 The tax increase discussion will no' down in city administration circles and although Commissioner Lane is very much opposed to it the proposition vii be an issue be1ore the commissioners and the next legislature, it is believed.
 The taxable values of Birmingham and the income received by the city IS considered by students of municipal af- fairs to be greatly inadequate to meet the demands of the city.
 It is said the recent discharge of seven police sergeants in order to meet expenses magnifies the distressing g needs of the city for some plan of ob- taining more income.

A NEW INTERPRETATION.

The father Of a Germantown lad
had given him a ten-cent piece and a
quarter Of a dollar, telling him that
he might put one or the other on the
church's contribution plate.
At dinner the father asked the boy
which coin he had given.
"Well, Father" exclaimed the
youngster, cat first it seemed to me
that I ought to put the quarter on
the plate; but Just in time remem-
bered the saying, The Lord loveth a
cheerful giver,' and I knew I could
give the ten-cent piece a great deal
more cheerfully. So l put that in"

Fashion Notes.

Narrowness seems to be the
prevailing idea in all clothing
All lines must Remain strai light,
with great closeuess about the
hips, no curves beinS permissil lie
The coat sleeves are made to fit
fairly close, without fullness at
the shoulder. The Indications
are that the spring jackets and
coats will be short, averaging
abouttwenty-six inches in length.
The shoulders are made to appear
as narrow as possible, and the
principle difficulty is in pla ing
the sleeves SO they will be CON-
fortab BILE as we'll as fashionable.
For dresses, the peasant sleeve
will remain in the lead.
Many tailored skirts have the
raised waistline; models having
overskirts are shown, some of the
circular skirts having circular
overskirts.
Girls and women who are cIev.
err with the needle can have many
things at very little cost which,
bought ready made, would be ex.
travagances.
Foulard is a very stylish silk
for one-piece dresses, and can be
had in u great variety of colors
and designs. Its adaptability to
draDeries and semi. tailored suits
is much in it's favor. For house
dresses it is very popular.
