ADJUSTMENTS
Baby Mine"

It is true that there are some hilarious moments in "Baby Mine" the Margaret Mayo farce, which was presented for the first time in Birmingham at the Jefferson theatre last night. Some of the situations are really quite funny in a legitimate way, but many of the lines that won the noisiest recognition did so by means of a double entendre.
 The plot of the play treats of prac- tice which has been given newspaper mo- toriety as being common to an alarming extent in Chicago, where scheming mothers are reported to palm off babies obtained from maternity hospitals on their unsuspecting husbands, who never know that they have been duped. At the time this statement was given widespread pub licity it was received with several large pinches of salt, but of course the prob ability Or improbability of circumstances has nothing to do with their use on the stage.
 The voting wife sins. the plagA who shas had an aversion to babies in the past, at tempts to lure her husband back to his home and win his forgiveness for slight indiscretion in the matter of having lunched with another man, by'infolming him by wire that he is a father. Two friends of hers attempt to beg, borrow or steal an infant for the purpose of carry ing out the deception and the compliea- tions that ensue, when three babies have been provided, create some laughable situ- ations. 2aa.
 However, it Is hard to see why Baby Mine should have had such a vogue in the east. It is at times decidedly risque, at other times simply. vulgar.
 The company is quite competent. Miss Marjorie Cortland as Zoie made the most of her opportunities. despite bad cold, The way she hopped in and out of bed on short notice was, very amusing. Earle Mitchell as Jimmy Jinks. the man who goes after the babies,y had the funniest part in the play and made it count. Natalie Perry as Aggie and Clinton Pres ton as the more or less happy father did very well in their respective parts, al- though Mr. Preston has the most unruly pair of arms seen here in some time. His cuffs at times seemed to dominate the play.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and another performance tonight. "Bapy Mine" is not a play for the young person.

YUAN DETERMINED
 ID STAY IN PEK|NG
New President Expects the Republic to Make Some
 Mistakes

Peking, February 16--In an inter view with the Associated Press today Yuan Shi Kai said;
 Owing to lack of experience the republican government will make many errors. Having been elected President of the republic. I will undertake the task"
 Yuan said he had great admira tion for Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who had shown himself a true patriot.
 Yuan is determined to not go to Nan king and is endeavoring to persuade the Ranking assembly that his presence there is not necessary, at the same time pointing out the dangerous possibility of the monarehial party endeavorins to re-establish itself in power He also told them of the threatening situation in Manchuria and that foreign inter- vention is probable If control Is re- faxed. There is also danger he con siders, of anarchy in the northern province and the Manchu troops are very difficult to control
 The princes of the imperial court are beseeching Yuan Shi Kai not to leave Picking, fearing something will happen to the court which trusts only to him for it's safety and fulfillment of the pledges given by the repub licans.
 Yuan Shi Kai today seemed much less worried than he has been for some time. He apparently believes that the Ranking assembly cannot stand in the way of the unity of the country in the question of the choice of a capital. He his issued orders for the northern army to cease its opposition to the repub- lican troops who are now permitted to enter the northern lines with absolute freedom.

I2S.-Forest rangers who patrol the

proclaim the great bluff one of the
most beautiful in the south. And the

the thick set underground bordering
the stream, with a green fringe of tall
pines on the west. makes magnificent

Lynne, June 2s.-Forester Chas. Fl.
Rogers and the forest rangers and the
national park mean much for this sec
tion of Florida. Besides a national
park this plateau preserve is an
elegant field for an army post, and is
also a superb ridge for the army flying
squadron. The supposed Florida ship
canal. the navigable Oklawaha and St.
Johns rivers and the proposed new
railroad in this country are the har-
bingers, in the future, of these things
now thought of for the national park.
