 The attraction was a hand organ, q monkey and little gypsy looking girl.
 The little hand organ was grinding out the lifting melody of Miss Blanche Rings i've Got Rings on My Fingers, ,' while the girl and the monkey passed around the hat.

ANT SCOURGE
 THREATENS STATE

New Orleans, July 11.-'"rhe fight against the ant Is hopelessly lost. The pest has come to stay and the damage 1t vii, do to agricultural interests is be- yond computation" So says the Rev. Father Albert Bever, professor of Loyola college, recognized as one of the best informed men in the south on ant life, in a warning issued to agriculturists of Louisiana and Mississippi as to the grow ing scourge of ants.
 Father Biever says that complaints have been received from the different parts of this state and that unless some- thing occurs to check the increase be- fore the end of the summer, vegetation of all kinds will suffer. He says in each colony of ants there are from 60 to more than 100 queens, each capable of laying about 10000 eggs a day.

By MYRTLE MILES

The love of outdoor sports is rapidly becoming a characteristic Of society in Birmingham, where baseball to almost everyone, Is paramount to any social en- gagement and golf is gaining following among debutantes and their mothers, prominent business men and their junior guests of college. Today. by the way, all who anticipate playing in the tennis tournament which begins at the Country club Saturday, are requested to affix their names to the paper published Sunday by the athletic committee of the club.
 Discussing some of the characteristics lof the various popular sports writer in Town eand Country this week has the following:
 It is fortunate that golf can never be- come a game for professionals to the ex- tent that baseball is a professional game. If there were such a possibility, we should have doubts about the future prospects of a pastime that has laid it's grip upon all parts of the country. The basis or professional sport is the money supplied by the gate receipts. And to get the gate receipts you must have a spectacular game Golf can never be spectacular, Tor the simple reason that seeing golf match involves walking at least three miles; and even then it is difficult to get good view of the different strokes. Now 1t is oo- vious that the class of persons who would rather sit in the bleachers and eat pea nuts than take healthy exercise. is never ta a all for the nriV- iiege of walking three miles, Therefore there can be no gate receipts; and con- seouently no professional golf of any im- portance. Golf is thereby effectually saved from all danger of falling into the hands of the professionals, and wf1i always remain the most popular Of anna ture games; the most popular because 1t embraces all ages and almost all purses The spectacular games do not command our support, for the simple reason that they have nothing to do with healthy out door exercise. Not that great pageant or spectacle is to be despised. It has It's uses; but not as sport. The great crowd that watched the international polo game was moved by the right kind of emotion. There were eight splendidly trained ath- letes representing their nations entirely for glory None of them was paid ex- cept in fame; and everyone of them was incurring considerable expense in time and money. But, above all, the element of danger was present. The crowd saw not only supreme skill in horsemanship and ball play, but the utmost darin@
 Such an exhibition was worthy of the keenest interest. Yet it is fortunate for polo that an ordinary game on slower
 ponies between less skilled players IS not at all amusing to watch. If polo became spectacular game, 1t would soon fall into the hands of professionals. The best
 proof that this is at least unlikely lies in the fact that no one but few wives
 and friends ever think of going to watch an ordinary polo game.

WIRELESS MAY
 HAVE TAKEN LIVES

San Francisco, July 11.-Whether the wireless, which has proven a safeguard to passengers on the high seas in hundreds of cases, was a cause of danger to the passengers of the Santa Rosa, wrecked off Point Arguello Fri day, because of instructions of the Pacific Steamship company at San Francisco to the captain of the wrecked vessel, proba bly will be determined by the investigation yesterday by Federal Steamship Inspectors Bolles and Bull ger.
 Wireless Operator F. M Morgan of the Centralia testified that about 4 o'clock he sent a message from Captain Erickson after the tow line of the Santa Rosa to the Centralia had parted which read:
 Don't you think we had better walt until o'clock and then all pull again at full speed?"
 To this message captain Faria of the Santa Rosa replied
 Please wait until I get an answer from the city. We will all wait until high tide as you say"

SUTHERLAND RIDICULES
 INITIATIVE AND RECALL

Washington, July 11.-To an 'amable band of insurgents and soothsayer all efforts in behalf of the initiative, refer endum and recall provisions of the Ari- xona constitution was traced by Senator Sutherland of Utah today.
 He addressed the Senate in opposition to that instrument and was severe In his denunciation of the inclusion of the members of the judiciary in the recall.
 Accepting the application of the refer endum principle as wise where it applies to such general enactments as a state constitution, MT. Sutherland contended that the general public never would give sufficient time to general legislation to pass intelligently upon it. What he ob- jected to in the referendum was not it's historical application, but Its hysterical extension.
 "The people as a whole,' he said, ''have neither the inclination, the specialized training nor the time to enable them to master the thousand and one details necessary to qualify them wisely to dis charge the, functions of ordinary legis. Jation."
 V laws had been submitted to the people of South Dakota, all had been voted down in utter disgust because of the unwel- come task Imposed upon the electors. Alp. plying to the initiative all the objections attaching to the referendum, he declared the proposed Arizona system to be espe- cially objectionable.
 Under the initiative as thus provided by proposerd laws" said the senator, will. of course, frequently be drafted by a coterie or clique of interest per- sons, perhaps all of one way of think bated in public as legislative enactments arc; there will be little, if any, oppor- tunity for the consideration of opposing views in framing the law. The power of compromise, which is a necessity of making laws, will be wholly absent. The chances are altogether in favor of the adoption of unwise laws than ever got through our legislatures" az
 MT. Sutherland's main opposition to the recall principle was with reference to the judiciary.
 "The recall" he said, puts into the scale upon one side or the other in every case where strong public feeling exists. the artificially induced anxiety of the judge for the retention of his place. The recall institutes tribunal where every body decides and nobody is responsible where at least 25 per cent of the mem bership have already, as the judges ac- cusers, rprejudiced his case, and from whose arbitrary and unjust findings there is no appeal In such forum, idle gos-
