PEEk.A.eoO SOCKS.

Many men wear peek-a-boo socks,
not because they are in style. but be-
cause their wives use inferior strong
laundry soaps. The free alkali and
rosin contained in these soaps rot the
material and as a consequence the
poor men are blamed for being hard
on their socks
This can be avoided by the use Of
Hewitt's Easy Task soap. Twenty
i've years of use have proved it's
worth. Five cents a cake.

MARKET "a HOPEFUL

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Sentiment that
the war between Turkey and Italy
would soon be mediated became so
strong today that Turkish securities
on the stock exchange advanced two
points in value. Offsetting this came
q positive declaration from Italy that
peace negotiations woull not be con-
sidered until Tripoli had surrendered
and was occupied by Italian forces.
; The Turkish transport Derna is re-
ported sunk by the Italian fleet in the
harbor of Tripoli and the Turkish
transport Sagha loaded with troops
and ammunition bound for tripoli was
captured by the Italian cruiser Marco
Polo. Such news as oozes through
the strict censorship neglects to men
ton the casualties.

BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Items of Interest at Last
Nights Meeting.

Alleged poor telephone service was
discussed again by council last night,
the matter being brought before the
body by Councilman King who asked
If anything had been done to the
present in regard to the threatened
revocation of the company's fran
chise. 1t was stated that the CON-
pany is doing everything in its power
to place the services on it's former
basis.
Attorney A. G. Lindemuth suggest
ed that while council is discussing the
revocation of franchises Of the public
service corporations that it revoke
the contract Of the Municipal Electric
Lighting plant. He said that very poor
light was given. The mayor answered
the attorney by saying that new
globes should supplant the old ones
''once in WHILE" then just as good
light could be obtained as from any
other company
Councilman Evans reported bad
condition of some of the city streets.
All complaints were referred to the
board of public works for attention.
If COuncilmen King and Engelbert
have any influence and power they
will soon see a cement sidewalk on
both sides of North c street from Fl.
Wayne avenue to Fifteenth street.
Councilman King said the sidewalk
had been worn so badly in some pla-
ces that when it rained water stood on
the walks. king and I are going to
fight this thing" declared Engelbert
enthusiastically.
Flight it," questioned the mayor,
what do you mean?"
ooh, Engelbert just means the op-
posite of what he says" Councilman
Bartel remarked.

BOOM OF GUNS HEARD.

MALTA, Oct. 3.-The Italian fleet
opened. fire on the city OF Tripoli at
1880 when the three days Of grace
granted to the garrison Saturday on
which to haul down the Turkish flag
had expired.
1t was reported by wireless this af-
ternoon that ships at sea could easily
distinguish the heavy roar Of artillery
fire from the warships.
While no details were available it
was . foregone conclusion that the
Turks offered little resistance to the
concentrated fire Of the steer armored
battleships. 1t was the plan Of at
tack to concentrate the fire on the
Turkish defenses where the antique
guns in the Turkish fortress could
make no adequate return to the fire OF
the Italians modern artillery.

Repudiation of the Central Bureau

The National City bank of New York is the largest bank in this country. It has long been an im- portant factor in the handling of foreign cotton bills, and its repudia- tion of the central bureau scheme will equip the coffin of that concern with plenty of nails. Bank after bank is repudiating the scheme, and it is practically dead.
 The full text of the circular of the City bank sent to it's customers has not been published. It doubtless will be. The objection of the City bank is believed, however, to relate to the fact that the central bureau scheme does not attempt in the case of a fraudulent bill to place responsibility for its issue. In other words, it does not in any way better the original situation.
 When the railroads get ready to shoulder responsibility for whatever bills of lading they may issue, the problem will be settled. Nothing is ever settled until it is settled right. Congress has bill before it that is based on right principles. It relates, however, to interstate railroads only. Any railroad that issues through its own sagents a bill of lading should accept it's own proper responsibility That is the entire case, and no other satisfactory settlement is possible.

Rusiness in southern Cities

T find business in the south very good this fall' said B. F. owen, representing a large Chicago piano concern. "I was in Charleston the other day and business conditions there seemed to be first rate,
 charleston is a very conservative city. and while it never has anything as excit- ing as a boom, it is one of the most sub stantial cities in the country. I did not meet any pessimists there. On the con- :rary, everybody seemed to be fairly well satisfied with local trade.
 q was in New Orleans just before com ing to Birmingham. While the Crescent City grows steadily, there have been some complaints in the last two or three years about general business conditions; but now everything is looking up in New Or leans. Among southern cities Atlanta holds a strong position, as every one knows. It seems to be in excellent shape at this time. As for Birmingham, it has been making strides ever since l have been coming here. It seems to be going forward very rapidly"

BACKS UNDERWOOD BOOM

From the Washington Post.
 Representative Stanley H. Dent of the Montgomery, Ala, district, came to Washington yesterday, predicting the steady growth of the presidential boom of Leader Underwood of the House Of Representatives.
 "Down our way" said MT. Dent, at the Raleigh, we are firmly of the opinion there is a growing sentiment among the democrats of this country for a man of the ability, temperament, and capacity immediate leadership In the House, and has proved his ability to lead when there were rocks and slippery places ahead. He has handled the tariff in admirable fashion, and his speeches on that subject, by way of explanation of the measure, in the construction of which he played so prominent a part, and in defense of the attacks of the standpat republicans, have made him a dominant figure today on all matters related to this great question.
 My own district is solldly for Mir. Un- derwood. That he will have the entire Alabama delegation goes without saying. Other states from the south will swing into line, and I believe MT. Underwood will go to the convention with such strength behind him that he will be a most, important factor in the deliberations of that body. am sure the party could not find a safer man for the place. The day has gone when we need fear the bug aboo of a southern candidate, and par ticularly with such a man as the present chairman of the committee of ways and means.
 S"Oscar Underwood is sound to the core, and his personality would add much to the strength of the ticket The demo- cratic party must reckon with Alabama in the next national convention. Remem- Der that"

Woman's Mission Celebration

The golden jubilee of woman's part in missions will be celebrated in Bir- mingham on large scale the latter part of this week. In 50 years the women have done vast amount of tell ing work, and the jubilee will be a joyous occasion to thousands upon thousands of Christian people. Fifteen cities in the United States have been selected by the central organization as jubilee places. Alabama has two--Mo- bile and Birmingham.
 In Birmingham the mass meetings in connection with the jubilee will be held in the First Methodist church. A trained choir of about 100 voices, under direction of Miss Corrie Handley, will sing grand old hymns. The musical part of the exercises will be especially attractive Distinguished women speakers-eight or nine of them-will come here from the north, and it is said that they are unsurpassed in the matter of gripping oratory.
 We are looking forward to the mis- sion jubilee with great interest" said layman. "In addition to the big meetings to be held in the First Meth odist church, there will be denomina- tlonal services in various parts of the city. There will also be drawing rooms which will especially interest the ladies. The celebration will give G new impetus to the mission move uent"

of Georgia. It is in fact very pow erful sort of control.
 The Frisco crosses the New Or leans, Mobile and Chicago at New Albany, in Union county, and Union county adjoins Lee county, in which the Frisco crosses the Mobile and Ohio at Tupelo. The acquisition of the road by the Frisco really adds to the railroad mileage of this district, for whatever the Frisco has is avail able here.
 The Frisco has broad plans against the opening of the Panama canal. To it's Texas outlets it evidently pro poses to add New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola, and the Register seems to think the Frisco has either secured, or intends to secure, the control of the Mclaughlin railroad across Baldwin county to Pensacola. It is known that the Frisco now con- trols valuable water front property in the west Florida port.

MARY ANDERsON's BOOK

From Publishers Notes.
 The return of Mary Anderson to her native country is sure to awaken host of theatrical recollections among older playgoers In her own book, "A Few Memories" she relates an amusing incl. dent. My last appearance on the old world side of the ocean was in Dublin, where we were joined by MT. and Mrs. William Black, and where for a frollc ws inveigled the author of The Strange Ad- ventures of a Phaeton' upon the mimic scene. Once before, on his native heath, Scotland, we had induced him to appear as mute masked guest in the ballroom scere of Romeo and Juliet On that oc- casion, I remember, he went to the thea- tre as soon as any of the actors, to dress for his part, though his costume consist ed only of a domino and mask. When the scene opened, and he was discovered among a throng of guests, he was struck ty 6 violent attack of stage fright that nailed him to the stage and kept him there after the others had departed-an unwilling witness of the tender glances of the Veronese lovers. Finally, Tybalt, without Shakespeare's permission, re. turned to the scene and led him off, In Dublin he was disguised as an ancient peasant in The Winters Tale and tho manner in which he strolled about con- versing fin his own--not Shakespeare's- language and ferociously waving @ long staff. was more alarming even than his petrification in Romeo and Juliet'''

NIT. UnderwoOd's Lexington Speech
 The Age-Herald publishes this morning a full report of MT. Under woods speech delivered at Lexington, Ky. It is full of practical common sense, which is, after all, the best measure of statesmanship. It is so full of plain everyday wisdom that The Age-Herald feels constrained to ask careful reading of it.
 After showing in a fair and just manner that President Taft had not kept the pledges he made before election, and after showing that the democratic House has thus far kept every one of it's pledges, the dis tinguished leader of the majority proceeded to state the difference be- tween a tariff planned for the pro- tection of profits and a tariff planned for revenue only. He does this in comprehensive manner, and his state ments are supported by wealth of facts that not even MT. Taft's opera bouffe tariff board will attempt to refute. No one has challenged one of MT. Underwood's statements, and his recent tour included Chicago, St. Louis and other cities in the middle west. The facts that he presents are deadly in his arraignment of the Aldrich-Payne tariff, and yet no one calls in question one of them. Every citizen should read MT. Underwood's speech in order to see clearly how much graft is included in scheme for the protection of profits.
 Mr. Underwood is too polite to call such loot graft, although he does say the republican party is so tied to the interests that it cannot revise the tariff in the interest of the people. These interests have become strong and the republican party and MT. Taft cannot break away from them when they act unitedly in defense of their great scheme of plundering home consumers.
 
 Mr. Underwood goes on to explain that if the people put next year a democrat in the White House, and hand over to the democrats a control of the Senate, an honest revision in the interest of the people will become law, and it will not be radical law, nor destructive law. It will be a law based on common sense and tra- ditional democratic principles, keep ing one eye always on the needs of the government.
 Every reader should take an hour "off" to read the Lexington speech that is to be found on another page of this mornings Age-Herald. It is great lesson in sound and honest economies.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Came Ont Ahead


 The United States Marine band not only geve fine concerts at the Jefferson Friday. but the engagement was finan- cially successful The Marine band could be secured only on a full guarantee. Three citizens organized themselves inta committee, with Oliver ChalifouN as secretary treasurer. for the purpose of | raising the guarantee and managing the concerts. The matinee performance did not draw as large an audience as it | should. although the attendance was up to the average for an afternoon attrac- tion.
 ! At night the theatre was crowded. With the exception of one of the festival con eerts, under Damrosch's direction, in 1910. the audience that greeted the Marine band was about the biggest seen at the Jefferson for any musical occasion. The committee had announced that any money on hand after all expenses were paid would be donated to the Music Study club for the benefit of the open air con- cert fund. There is surplus-not very large, perhaps but any surplus at all is better than a deficit.
 All music lovers should be glad to know that the Marine band concerts were given without any loss to anyone" said member of the Chamber of Commerce. T understand there was a surplus. This fact is more significant than some per sons might suppose. The venture hay ing been financially satisfactory, the gen tlemen who were responsible for the Ma rine bands coming to Birmingham will, 1t is said. continue to work for the pro- motion of musical art. It is their in- tention to bring to Birmingham one or two high class symphony orchestras dur ing this winter. It may be that not more than one orchestra will be available this season, but in looking 10 the future a southern circuit of three or four cities should be organized with view of guar anteeing four or five symphony concerts in addition to the spring festival con- certs.
 Tn most cities of the hundred thou sand class q local symphony orchestra is maintained, but a small, i'll balanced orchestra is hardly worth while. Musical standards have been raised and music lovers care now for only the best. It requires a city of the half million class, to assemble anything like an adequate local orchestra of symphony quality and proportions. and even in the very large cities a few rich men are called upon to make up a great deficit. When Bir mingham. Atlanta and Nashville treble their present population they will have good orchestras no doubt. In the mean time it should be easy, by little cooper alton, to bring fine orchestras here during the fall and winter-the Cincinnati or ehestra, the Minneapolis orchestra, the St. Paul orchestra and perhaps the Rus sian symphony Yes, the financial sue cess of the Marine band concerts Friday means a great deal to Birminghams cul- tural side"

In the Realm of Philosophy

Many college students think logic ond metaphysics dry, just as many of them find the higher mathematics stiff, but these same students will take interest in mental philosophy when their minds mature later on," said a professional man.
 At the age of 19 I thought Sir William Hamilton well nigh incom- prehensible but at 29 I read his lec- lures on logic and metaphysics-two large volumes-with ayidity. Unless one has metaphysical turn of mind all the philosophers, from Aristotle down, will seem more or less dry, but to those with trained intellect, and of acute mental processes all philosophy is de- lightful. The late William James did much to popularize philosophy and to modernize psychology. His lectures en- titled Pragmatism.' bound in one little
