II deeply sympathize with the earnest
desire Of the department officials to get rid
of the deficiency they are fated to encounter
each year, but submit that the first real
movement toward this end must begin with
the substitution of a modern, up-to-date bust

system, which rests upon few sections OF
law. enacted in 1886, supplemented by statu-
tory fragments added from time to time
since that year.

DATE AND PLACE OF
 HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT'

Although there was doubt as to the ex- act dates of the performances of "The House That Jack Built" which Is to be given here by the recently organized committee for the prevention of infant mortality, it has now been positively de- cided that the first performance will be Saturday afternoon. This will be followed by second performance Saturday night, and the little folk will then have one day in which to rest and enjoy their tri- umph before the final appearance Monday night.
 It is believed by the management that this plan will get better results than three performances during the same week, as was at first the intention. The operetta, as it Is called, is in reality a mammoth production, requiring at least 150 children and older people in the cast and chorus, and while the music and dialogue have to do with the well-known nursery rhymes of the long ago, yet so cleverly Is the entertainment put together that they come forth in the nature of real classics.
 The three performances will be given at the Orpheum theatre, as 1t is now con- ceded that this playhouse is the best adapted for an entertainment of this character. Rehearsals are held there, the first actual stage rehearsal having been held Tuesday after0Pon and the mere fact that they were on a real stage seemed to inspire the local actors and actresses to greater efforts. The result was all that could have been desired. and the production Is ready to be put on at a moments notice.
 In spite of this, however, the rehearsals will continue, and when the curtain as- cends Saturday afternoon the cast and chorus will know all the lines and songs perfectly, and there will be none of the amateurs nervousness which so often communicates itself to the audience and destroys an evenings enjoyment.
 The few changes that have been made in the cast have been found entirely satis- factory. The players are reading like veterans of the stage, and there is every indication that they will make even the members of the profession look to their laurels when playing in Birmingham.
 Miss Margaret R. Martin, in charge of rehearsals, is working like Trojan in order to have every detail of the perform ance as nearly perfect as is possible and she has secured wonderful results all

MRS. MOUNTFORT REPORTS
 MEETING OF D. A. R.

Mrs. Ernest l.. Mountfort who returned Sunday evening from Washington, where she attended the national congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution, gives the following concise report:
 Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, of whom Ala hama is so justly proud, was elected hon orary vice president general, by a most hattering vote, showing that Alabama Daughters are not the only ones who love her. She has served the full term allowed Ter as vice president general and much favorable comment is made whenever she has presided, one very trying time being when nominations were being made last Thursday for the national officers.
 Mrs. Richard H. Clarke, another prom inent Alabama Daughter, was one of a number from different states who second- ed the nomination of Mrs. Matthew T. Scott as president general.
 Mrs Rhett Goode, Alabamas 8 state re- gent, read the report of Mrs. Mcclellan the retiring state regent, who was unable to be present on account of sickness and death in her family. Mrs. Mcclellan, so well beloved by all Alabama Daughters, was made honorary state vice regent and resolutions of sympathy. signed by the en- tire Alabama delegation, were sent to her At the same meeting the election of Mrs Goode as state regent and of Mrs. Charles Sharp as state vice regent, were con firmed.
 "Congressmen Clayton and Hef1in Of Alabama gave the visiting Alabama Daughters of the American Revolution a delightful luncheon Friday, after an en- joyable visit to the capitol.
 President Taft addressed the opening meeting of the D. A. R. congress, and President and Mrs. Taft received the vis- itng Daughters at the White House Wednesday afternoon.

FOR VISITING MATRON
 AND BRIDE-TO-BE

Miss Ellen Linn Motion was the hostess yesterday afternoon at lovely bridal party and tea in compliment to her house guest, Mrs. Edward McComb of Roanoke Va, and to Miss Sadie Gillespy, whose marriage to MT David Roberts. .Jr. will be the brilliant event of the evening at the South Highlands Methodist church, followed with a reception at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Gillespy.
 The bridge was limited to the girls in Miss Gillespy's wedding. At the conelu- sion of the games, however. they were joined by coterie of young matrons who are old-time friends of Mrs. McComb, d former Birmingham girl, and buffet luncheon of charming appointments was served in the solarium of the Motion home-a graceful apartment which was decorated yesterday with white flowers and greenery. A punch table was dec- orated with white tulips and the flowers used elsewhere in the house were also most effective.
 Several prizes were awarded for the games, and Mis- Motion presented Miss Gillespy with handsome cake knife as a bridal gift.

 In nearly all large stores there is a de- partment given over to the wearing ap- parel of men.
 Why should they be ashamed to go there and shop?
 Why should they think it necessary to explain?
 No matter what the reductions are as to prices on shirts and collars, it is the man s wife who revels in purchasing them

I'd rather pay the full price at my haberdasher's than to face a mob of women in a department store and have them collectively and in dividually ask me What are you doing here?' es.AsH l-
 They are mighty brave-men are-but when it comes to shopping they blush like 16-year-old girls, if they are caught at 1t by any woman they happen to know.
 Of course, women adore such places, where they can buy three egg beaters for that many cents, where nutmeg graters and cork screws and carpet tacks and bird cages are going at half the original price.
 No matter what her social position is, nor how big her bank account happens to be, she is feminine enough to love her bargain counter, no matter if it is some- thing she could never use.
 Maybe that's why, in certain very clever play that Birmingham theatregoers saw this season, certain line convulsed the masculine element of the audience.
 The situation depicted two bachelors who found in the pocket of one of their newly married friends piece of 1ace

 It will be a matter of sincere regret to her friends that her marriage will cause her to live elsewhere. MT. Eager is the superintendent for the Light and Power company of Staunton, Va. and they will make their home in that city. He is prominent in both it's social and business life.
 Mr. and Mrs. Eager left last night to visit her relatives in Charlotte for a few days before going to Staunton, where furnished home awaits them.
