NOTES HERE AND THERE

Mrs. Phares Coleman of Montgomery, Who is popular socially in Birmingham as we'll has been chosen chairman of the Madi Gras charity ball in the former city. This is to be Montgomerys first great charity ball and society through out the state Is interested Commenting upon the plans for the ball, Mrs. De- Cottes, in the Social World of Saturday, says:
 At the called meeting of the Ionian club, which was held at the Carnegie library Tuesday morning, plans for the charity ball to be given by the club women of the city were discussed and many important details settled. It promises to be most beautiful, brilliant and elaborate occa- sion.
 The ball will take place on Mardi Gras, Tuesday, February 2s. This Mardi Gras ball is to be given under the auspices of the educational committee of the Ala bama Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Phares Coleman is president, for the benefit of the permanent endow- ment scholarship fund
 IL was ueclueu at lnlS meeting or the Ionian club, held Tuesday, over which Mrs. Coleman presided, to adopt for the ball uniformity of costume that of Pier rot and Pierrette being the one chosen. This is the typical French Pantomme costume and is made of white, with a touch of black in rosette buttons It was also decided that there will be king and queen Of the ball, the king to be chosen by the members of the Ionian club and the queen to be elected by pop ular vote. The tickets to the ball will be sold for $1 and each purchaser of ticket will be entitled to one vote for the queen and will also have the privilege of buying as many more votes as he pleases at 25 cents vote. Each voting coupon will have to bear the name of the voter and cannot be transferred The ballot box will be closed one week before the ball takes place to enable the fortunate young lady who is elected time to pre- pare her queenly toilette, as, of course, the king and queen will be gorgeously attired as befits their rank.
 The evenings entertainment will begin with a grand tableau on the stage, the king and queen being the central figures They will be surrounded by their maids of honor and knights, who are to be chosen by a committee appointed for that purpose. After the tableau the grand march led by the king and queen will begin and then the ball will be on, with all the charm and mystery of such an oc- casion.
 All society is interested in this which Is to be Montgomery's first great charity ball. A list of the patronesses will be published some time later The fact that Mrs. Phares Coleman is at the head of the movement ensures its success.

In 1904 two sons Of Daniel Boone, the
great pioneer Of the west. Daniel and
Nathan Boone made salt at salt
springs found in central Missouri. The
Boones and their companions were the
only white men in the territory west OF
St Charles They boiled the spring wa
ter in huge iron kettles, and the crude
salt which formed the residue they
floated in hollow logs down the Mis-
souri, river to be sold at the French
village Of st. Louis. Deer had come to

manufactured salt, the locality was
named Boon's Lick.
Two years later a settlement Of Eng

west, each with several thousand in

the result.
1t was not much Of road as roads

paved or Eraveled. Indeed it was little

parties ran a line that followed the
ridge or watershed between the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. The small
er streams were forded. On the large
rivers were primitive ferry boats, hol-
low log canoes locked together. There
were no bridges. The sign posts were
the sblazes," or marks, cut in the forest
trees along the roadway. The road ma

srubbing hoe. Into wilderness where
hostile Indians were on every hand the

State Farm For Tramps.

The annual effort OF the various
charitable societies interested in in
ducing the state to embark upon
sensible policy Tor the restraint and
reformation Of tramps and Migrants
is renewed this year in the form Of
bill by Assemblyman Chanler to estab-
fish farm or colony for them and ap-
point a commission to select site and
make an inquiry into vagrancy. The
Tribune has so often expressed Its
sympathy with the purposes OF this
bill that 1t is hardly necessary to do
so again.
The present lack Of a proper system
Of handling Migrants favors the devel-
opment OF vagabondage. It IS. more
over. costly to society. In general.
tramps are merely hustled along from
one community to another, each Of
them DESTROYS Of avoiding the expense
involved in their confinement under
present conditions. Like an army raw
aging hostile territory, the tramps Give
off the country" obtaining food by
theft and intimidation. They trespass
on railroads and steal from freight cars.
They infest the canals and prey upon
their traffic Their cost to society Is
not easy to reckon, but It must be
enormous.
Foreign countries which have farm
colonies for the confinement OF such
persons. appear to have solved the
problem. for the hobo Is compelled to
labor, in some cases the tramp farms
being made actually self-supporting.
Labor on the state farms encourages
reformation. and it discourages visits
20 the states which have such facilities
for the entertainment Of vagrants.-
