QUIT SMOKING ON l,
 BOARD STREET CARS
Commissioner Lane Says
 Nuisance Must Cease.
 Nuf Sed [.

In order to give smokers on street cars an opportunity to correct their habit, the commissioners yesterday or dered that the city ordinance prohib- :, iting such practices be advertised. It was decreed that following reason-, able display of that ordinance arrests would take place immediately of those' men who annoy ladies by smoking onf cars on which ladies are riding. The resolution to this effect was in7 troduced by Commissioner Lane who explained that he did not care to take snap judgment upon anyone and that due notice should be given the smokers to stop their annoying habits, neg1 lect of which meant arrest. Commis- sioner Lane said after the adoption Of the resolution that he intended to ex- .ert every energy of the department of justice to break up the practice. The ordinance follows:
 "Ordinance No. 2S2.
 Be it ordained by the city council of Birmingham as follows;
 That section 1 of ordinance 22S be amended so as to read as follows:
 ''Section 1. That 1t shall be unlawful for any person to smoke upon street
  Birmingham. except in trailers, and in the smoking compartments of other cars, and in the last two seats of open cars and on the platforms of the cars. Adopted March 16. 1910

 FRANK r. O'BRIEN, Mayor
 Various complaints have been made that as the cooler weather approaches the cars of the city are filled with to- bacco smoke. It is said one man will go into a car, puff once or twice at smoke attempt to blow out the win dow. conceal the pill" but fail all the while to keep the gusts of smoke from going across the aisle and sweep- ing across the face of some lady. Elm boldened by the practice of one man. 1t was reported that others attempt the same thing. In a short while it Is all legged that the cars are sometimes filled with smoke and in many in- stances ladies have been known to get out of the car onto the platforms and stand up rather than ride in the smoke laden street rars.

he testified. Had the Birmingham South ern a joint tariff we would be relieved of the switching charges. The joint tar if would put us on an equal footing with our competitors at North Birming ham,"
 On cross examination he stated that he was traffic manager for Il other com
 panies. and named those companies. He testified that the Barrett company oper-
 ated 20 plants. that he lived in New York and gave 75 per cent of his time to the management of the Barrett company s property. He stated that the stockhold- CTS of the Barrett company were not connected with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. but hestated
 when asked to name the stockholders. He stated that his company would per-
 init other railroads to build spurs into its property. but that it would be a phy sical impossibility for them to do so. May Finish Tonight If the testimony is concluded tonight 1t will go to the commission, although 1t is thought that on account of the great amount of worh before that body the opinion will be rendered by the ex-
 aminer.
 It is generally believed that there will
 be an appeal taken from the decision of the commission. and that the case will
 ultimately reach the supreme court.
 The tariff agreement between the At
 lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic and the
 Birmingham Southern is suspended pend-
 inG the investigation. until January 29.
 If on that date no decision has been
 reached. the commission has authority
 to prolong the suspension another six months.
 But the decision must be rendered with
 in 10 months following the original sus- pension.

DRAUGHT ANXIETY ENDS
Rains of Past Twenty-Four Hours
Cause Sagging in Market
of Wheat

Chicago, May 22.-Relief from an
xiety concerning drsught resulted To-
day in a sagging market for wheat.
Because OF special support May de-
livery was an exception closing y
higher. Other options finished * and
u down.
The end of the day left corn Y
cent lower TO a shade higher. Oats
were a to Y lower.
General gains of the last forty-eight
hours put a complete stop to all talk
of dry weather in the wheat crowd.
The possibility of a long delayed
squeeze in the current months had
a decidedly intimidating effect. More
over the demand at lower levels
proved more than enough to Offset
the selling pressure which tapered
materially with the declines.
Expert sales of Manitoba helped to
give "a relatively firm trone to the
trading at the close.
Corn prices We're sustained by the
idea that conditions for shelling and
moving the crop would not be inter.
ferred with.
Benefits from the rain brought lib
eras selling of oats, especially by the
country.

A Quick Growing Tree.

The black locust is hardy and a
rapid grower and is one of the most
valuable Of all the quick growing tim
Der trees. 1t should be planted only in
the center of grove, however, and
not along the edge, because Of its
root sprouting tendencies. They will
do no harm in the body of the grove,
but might be annoying on its edge.
Borers are less apt to iniure the black
locust i'll a shaded place. 1t is one of
the best growing trees we have and
will make from four to six feet a
year, furnishing material for the finest
kind of posts, stakes and poles. 1t has
the advantage of being very durable

MAN AND THE WORLD.
A Very Small Graveyard Would Hold
the Whole Human Family.


How little mankind signifies IN the
scheme Of nature is shown by a rather
morose calculation Of the Italian Pro
fessor Zuccarini, who has figured out,
among other things, shat estimating
the worlds population rs 1,5oo,0o0,00o
the whole human race 1T present living
could stand comfortably shoulder to
shoulder in an area OF 900 square
miles.
Taking the number OF generations ID
the past 5000 years as 200, tie room
taken up by them all on the above
plan would only be half the size OF
Germany, or for the san" Of com
parison less than 'he area " the state
of Colorado TO bury a. the people
on earth would need a graveyard little
larger than that area
If the dust left by each body be
estimated at One-tenth cubic yard
which Is liberal estimate, 1t would
cover only forty square miles to q
depth of about three feet. This Ger
tainly seems insignificant compared
with the great coral reefs and other
immense deposits built up by the shells
of tiny infusoria.-Ne York Sun.
