SAYS COMMISSION
 BILL IS ALL RIGHT
Weatherly Thinks Montgomery Man Is Laboring Under
 Misapprehension

That the commission bill under which the Birmingham board operates is regu- lar, legal and in no jeopardy was the statement of Commissioner James Weath- erly yesterday. His opinion was given because of statement in Montgomery by R. G. Arlington. an attorney of Mont gomery, that the bills of that city and Birmingham Were illegal.
 'The commission bill is as safe as legal talent and foresight can make it, and I apprehend no trouble should the question be tested" said MT. Weatherly. q note that the attorney general and the gover- nor, both lawyers of conspicuous ability, declare the bills legal.
 ''Mr. Arlington. although he does not say so, refers evidently to the calendar days in his objection. The law plainly says that when a bill remains unsigned for six legislative days after being passed by both houses it becomes a law"
 There is no apprehension here among the commissioners as to the legality of the local commission bill.

New Golf Links Meet All the Require ments for Professional
 Playing

Golf players of this city and the south generally will be interested to learn that the golf course of the Roebuck Springs Country club will meet the requirements for professional playing. Such a course,
 1t is thought, will not only render the sport more attractive to local players but will draw a large number of professionals and golf enthusiasts to this city.
 John M. Ingis, a well known profes- 1s-hole course with Nick Thompson, the clubs golf expert, with view Of test ing 1t out as to it's capacity for profess sional playing. MT. Inglis says this course will be one of the best in the country and he has seldom seen grounds which appeal so strongly to his professional in- stinct
 George Barker of New York city, an- other prominent professional, will arrive in Birmingham the early part of this week and go over the course with the two experts already mentioned, with the purpose of correcting any errors which may have escaped their attention, Work on the grounds of the Roebuck Springs Country club is now we'll under way. The east parkway, just outside the grounds, is clearly defined, and the drive way to the site of the club building is next on the programme
 George H. Miller the we'll known land scape architect of Boston, who made the plans for the grounds, is here, giving his personal supervision to the details, CO., operating with the golf experts in the ar engagements of the course and also with William c. Weston, the architect, in the plans for the club building.

MUSIC STUDY PLAN
Asks Permission to Oeprate Magic
 Lantern in Parks

The Music Study club apparently needs more money, and the latest idea of that original association was filed before the commissioners yesterday.
 The club desires to operate a magic lantern in the parks, showing the band concert programme. Interminged how ever, will be some advertisements for which the club will be paid, these pay ments to go toward paying the band ex- pense.
 The Board of Commissioners referred the petition to the park commissioners with authority to act. Before doing this, however, the commissioners removed the license from any moving picture show feature, and the duty of the park body will be to grant the permission desired.
 No formal request has been made to the park commission for the privilege and action Is not anticipated until the next meeting Is called.

 he could not put on his hat without the assistance of a shoe horn. , Going back to Dr. John l.. he uncov- cred his head and showed him the re- suit of the use of the preparation rec commended by him. Dr. John gazed at his friend silently for a few minutes, evidently at a loss to account for the strange phenomena, but asked to see tte bottle containing the-hair restorer. Solon handed 1t over to his pharma- ceutical friend.
 The moment Dr. John saw the bottle a light dawned on his countenance and in voice choking with-well say emotion-he said: "Sol, old boy, I am sorry, but you got the wrong prenara- tion. That was a bottle of bust de- veloper l gave you"
 What Solon said to the doctor was something awful; he felt like commit ting anything from assault and bat tery to murder in the first degree. He was finally pacified. however, and went home where for three weeks he nassa ged his uneven cranium six times q day before he got 1t back to it's, original form and symmetry. And from that day to this he is perfectly
 satisfied with his unadorned frontis- piece

SOUTHERN GROCERS' CASE
Street Declines to Comment on Status
 of the Litigation

No compromise has been reached be- tween the United States and the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association and the litigation will be resumed here shortly. This much was inferred from the reti- cent demeanor of United States Attorney Oliver D. Street, who yesterday acted as floor leader for the Barker faction, which downed Joseph o. Thompson.
 MT. Street declined politely but posi- lively to discuss the case from any view point He recently was called to Wash ington, where he met Assistant Attorney General Harrison of the department of Justice and Gen. Luke E. Wright, the latter representing the grocers. They dis cussed the case from every angle and General Wright is supposed to have of- fered a compromise.
 MT. Street said he was inclined to be- lieve that the case would be taken up in Birmingham shortly. Robert N. Bell of this city is special examiner
 The case is one wherein the government seeks to dissolve the Southern Whole sale Grocers' sassoclation, claiming that the body is trust operated in restraint of trade, and in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law.

.DISPENSARY MEN

Understood That Statement Will Be Prepared for Cir
 culation This Week

It is understood that prominent at | torney, who has been a strong advo- ! cate of the dispsnsary system of deal ing with the liquor question is prepar- ing a statement. setting forth the ad- vantages of a dispensary both from
 moral and economic standpoints The statepent is being carefully pre- pared and will set forth the provisions of the Smith regulation bill in refer
 ence to the establishment of dispen- saries and it's advantages and benefits
 vii. be pointed out.
 It is also understood that the state-
 ment will be signed by a number of
 prominent citizens during the coming
 week, whose views on the dispensary system of dealing with the liquor traf- fic are well known and that head l quarters will be established and an az
 gressive and determined campaign in- augurated.
 This organiza ation will be separ te and distinct from the saloon opposi- ton league, and will be led by a diff ferent set of officers.
 l. In this connection Charles E, Rice, | secretary of the oppositionists, stated yesterday that it had been and still was their intention to advocate both through~the press and from the plat form that the prohibitionists vote first dry and then choose, as he states, the lesser of the two evils,' and vote dis pensary.
 He further stated that in his opinion the dispensary bill was an exceedingly
 good one as the city would control it
 through its commissioners and that the
 city and county would derive the rev
 enue instead of the individual as under
 a saloon system.

Letters to the Editor
Other Members of the Dallas Bar

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 q regret that in my article on the Dallar bar | omitted mention of some who are in every way worthy of being remembered, not only as members of a
 great bar, but for tfeir devotion to the
 best interests of the state in the days

BALD HEADS-THAT'S ALL
By c. II. MANDY

was this: as the enamel on his classic brow got dry, it contracted. and held
 the cuticle and cutis and the few hairs that covered his thought dome as se- curely as with vice.
 When he smiled it was as though
 each individual hair was being pulled ont hy the roots while scalping would have been a luxury compared to the agony endured when he laughed out right.
 Like many other schemes that are
 much easier to get into than to get out of, Gene discovered that the enamel apparently was there to stay, and would not yield to ordinary treatment After trying hot water, gasoline, alcohol, am monia, and every other known prepara- ton or recipe for the removal of paint, he gave 1t up and went down to the blacksmith shop and had it clipped off with a hammer and chisel The pleas ure of this operation can be better inn agined than described.
 Gene insists however, that his scheme to kill the fly Is a good one,
 and says he simply got the wrong kind
 of enamel. He is willing to try again, provided, however, some one else makes the experiment. tHere endeth the first l lesson)
 Few people will admit that a bald head is ever becoming, yet there are in- stances. few it Is true, that this asser- l ton can be made and proven. Take Solon Jacobs, for instance; no one can truthfully say that his thought
 dome is not becoming to his particular style of beauty. It's curves are as graceful and symmetrical as the dive of a swan, its contour as even as a bowl = ing green. It is as delicate in shade as Dresden china, and glistens In the morning sun like a water lily fresh from her shower bath.
 It gives Solon an air of distinction and marks him-as he truly is-a man among men.
 prominent members of the ba1dheaded fraternity, he did not give up his once flowing locks without many a sigh and
 many a struggle.
 When he found the parting on top
 of his head was growing wider and
 wider and increasing daily assertions
 were taking place. he consulted his
 bosom friend, Dr. John L. Parker, as
 to the best preparation to stop further depletion. pr. Parker promptly recom- inended a concoction he was using him self. and pointed to his own luxuriant locks as an evidence of its efficacy, and stated that unless his hair was absolutely dead the preparation would prove of great benefit.
 Solon said If his hair was dead it
 ought to be embalmed anyhow and said he would try bottle on the doc tors recommendation.
 Taking it home he applied 1t faith fully according to the directions as
 given him by Dr. Parker. After using the preparation for a few days he mo- ticed that two little bumps appeared, one on each sido of his shapely head,
 but no hair. He continued to use the

TAFT IS HONORARY
 AERO CLUB MEMBER

Washington. July 15.-(Special )--While President Taft refused to accept the in- vitation of Harry N. Atwood, the avia- tor, to make trial of the light in his biplane. nevertheless this afternoon he ac- cepted the proposal of the Aero club of New York, which makes him an honorary member of that organization.
 The honorary membership of the club is limited and President Taft is one of the first men who has not taken an ac- tive part in the development of aeronautic work who has been named for this honor.
 As a member of the club he is qualified to take an examination for pilot for bal loonist or driver of a heavier than air flying machine.

 Chambliss Keith, one of the present members of the younger bar. is lawyer Of marked ability. Robert H. Mangum, he of the silver tongue. is county solici- ter, and the future holds high honors. John Morgan Burns, well named, is a young member of the Selma bar who has already won fame on the hustinEs of the state. .
 Archie l.. Mcleod tdeceased), who was mayor of Selma, was for some time an abe partner of Colonel Mallory.
 N hile it is true that times make great men and that men are born for the times, vet only those who are equipped are called to positions of great responsibility. If tie time should ever come for this people to meet another great crisis with ability. courage, or heroic sacrifice, we may rest assured that the young men of the south Gays. meet the demands of the times, fully equipped with knowledge. And so I must mention yet others who may well le trusted, as MT. Davis said to preserve lhe integrity and the traditions of the south. The other members of the present oar of Selma are: Ben Craig.
