EGGS PROMISE
TO Be HIGHER

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside an authority on eggs
writes:
When the poor matches came on
last spring. many poulterers decid-
ed to give up raising any great
amount of stock this season and
buy pullets later. This idea was
SO general among both fancy and
utility breeders that the outcome
seems to be general shortage OF
stock all over the country. To make
the matter more serious, feed
prices began rising early in the
summer, and farmers and pOulter-
ers In general from all sections OF
the country began selling all sur
plus old stock. Thousands of car
lots were shipped to our cities. and
still the prices kept up higher than
usual for poultry Of all grades.
"As q result from this exodus OF
poultry the supply Is much lower
than usual this tall, and the out
look now is favorable for higher
prices than last year for both poul-
try and eggs. Few OF our larger
egg and poultry centers are now
receiving more than enough fol
daily consumption, and our exports
this year will be smaller than las
without doubt. New York. Chica

SEVEN DEADLY
SINS or WOMEN

New York, Dec. l3-"There are
seven deadly sins Of which women
OF society are guilty" declared Mrs.
Mildred Manly Easton today. in an
address before the Life as a Fine
Art club. of which she Is the presi-
dent. The seven feminine sins. ac-
cording to Mrs. Easton, are:
Gluttony, laziness. fear. envy.
jealousy, revenge and lust.
II place gluttony first in the list
because it seems to be woman's be-
setting sin. We are digesting all
the time. From breakfast until
luncheon women digest; from
luncheon until dinner they digest
again, and after dinner they alc
digesting the greater part OF the
evening.
.Laziness is the next most i'm
pt ,tant OF our ..ns. Some of us
are 20 lazy We don know whether
we are alive or not. There are hun
dreds OF women walking around
every day more dead than alive be-
cause they are lazy. although they
think they have some fashionable
ailment.
Next comes fear" she told hcr
audience. Fear pinches us until
! we have no circulation. We grow
fearful of poverty, Of loneliness, OF
trusting anyone and We are 30
/ afraid OF being seen talking with .
! person who Ia not In our set that
we have developed into snobs.
Jealousy makes woman un-
gracious, sour and snippy. This sin
is the root OF all the mean little
tricks women play. Envy makes q
woman sneaking. She shows 1t by
her pinched-in elbows. her sinister
glance and when envy gets strong
hold on her. 1t ruins her claims tc
beauty.
Revenge develops the dangerou,
woman. 1t makes you say to your
self when you see her. Beware Of
that creature. Although l have in
cluded lust In the list OF seven dead
ly sins. it really isn't one OF which
many OF us are guilty"

The Jaspers say that they mereiS
acted on the defensive-that MIS-
Link struck Mrs. Jasper first with q
buggy whip and when Jasper inter-
fered, Mrs. Link attacked him with
the same yeapon. To defend him
self. says Jasper, he struck Mrs.
Link, knocking her down. The frac'

resulted from her head striking

ENSLEy CLUB HOLDS
 REGULAR MEETING

The regular meeting of the Ehsley club was held Tuesday evening in the inferior court room with the president. pr. F. w. Averyt, in the chair. Fol- lowing the reading of the minutes of the last meeting the club took up the reports of the various committees.
 The report of the phone committee was that they had met with much en- couragement and considerable success while working. It was stated that only one of the business houses visited by this committee didn't have or wouldn't have the Peoples phone placed with them.
 The advertising committee reported a most successful work in its partic- ular line and collected something like S6O the first day out and something like S45 for membership, with a promise from a number of the business men about the city that would come into the club later on. It was also reported
 that the Peoples telephone company had donated $50 to the advertising fund of the Ensley club and that the check for the amount had been received. They also reported that they would perhaps collect something like an additional s100 for advertising, all of which would be turned over to the committee hay- ing in charge the final arrangements of the matter.
 The question of the depot for the Southern Railway at this place and that of the city market were referred back to the committee having them in charge. It was stated in the meeting that the Southern was now working on this proposition and would have men in the field for several days, working out some of the details of the affair. The Underwood club that is being formed in Ensley is rapidly growing and promises to be one of the largest in the Birmingham district Petitions were cir culated about the city yesterday and to- day and have obtained many signatures. Underwood buttons are being distributed but this part is easy as there is de- mand for them and they can be seen on almost every mans coat in the city. The promoters of the club are very enthusi- astic and are working hard to add names to the already large list they have se- cured The petition to have NIT. Un- derwood's name placed on the ticket is being signed by all of the democrats and many of the republicans of Ensley.

The horse and buggy belonging to Dr. Howell T. Hefiin was stolen yes- terday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock from in front of Golfers drug store on Twentieth street. pr. Hefiin stated last night:
 "The Kentucky livery stable was to deliver my horse to me at 5:20 o'clocld yesterday afternoon and about thar time it was brought to the drug stors and hitched to an iron post along the sidewalk. The boy came upstairs over the drug store to my offices and told me my horse was waiting for me. Just few minutes later we went down to the street and the horse was gone. I have no idea which direction 1t went CT who took it.
 The horse is a red sorrell, weighs about HOO or 1900 pounds and has a white blaze on his forehead The letter ''R' is branded on one of his shoulders. forget whether it is the right or the left He was hitched 10 a top buggy, the side curtains were not on and the top was up."

FIVE ARE KILLED IN HEAD-ON COLLISION l.. X N. Passenger Hits
 c. & O. Cars FIFTY ARE INJURED Both Engines Explode and Cause Panic Among Passengers-Two Trainmen Fatally Injured.
 No Passengers Killed
FIFTY ARE INJURED

Louisville Ky, January 16.-F our train men are dead and two perhaps fatally in- jured as the result of head-on collision at Long Run. IS miles east of here, at 5:S0 o'clock this afternoon between an in- bound Louisville and Nashville passenger train and a Chesapeake and Ohio train of empty cars. Practically all passengers on the Louisville and Nashville train were more or less injured. Two Chesapeake and Ohio brakemen suffered severe injuries.
 Both engines exploded, according to pas sengers, parts of wreckage falling on the roofs of the coaches and terrorizing pas seEgers who had been thrown into masses in the forward end of the cars. Passeng- CTS. among them Judge w. G. Dearing, general attorney for the Louisville and Nashville. immediately set to work help ing the injured from the coaches and went forward to assist in extricating the Chesapeake and Ohio conductor and his brakeman, caught in the wreckage, when the combination coach in which they rode telescoped upon the shattered engines.
 The Chesapeake and Ohio train, rlin- ming on the Louisville and Nashville tracks, as do all Chesapeage and Ohio trains from Lexington to Louisville was "dead heading to Lexington. Several hours previously the same train, starting out had collided with a cut of freight cars in East Louisville and had to put back for repairs. Louisville and Nash vile officials tonight express their belief that the wreck was due to misunderstood orders.
 The dead:
 Charles O. Lee, Chesapeake and Ohio en- gineer Lexington.
 J. l.. Mehorney, Louisville and Nash vile engineer, Louisville.
 Charles Marcus, Chesapeake and Ohio fireman, Lexington.
 Thomas l.. Johns, Louisville and Nash vile fireman, Lexington.
 Among the seriously injured are:
 r. w. Anderson, Chesapeake and Ohio conductor.
 c. Pilver, Chesapeake and Ohio brake man.
 w. w. Peak, Chesapeake and Ohio brakeman, all of Lexington.
 It was conservatively estimated that between "a and 100 persons were injured in some manner in the wreck, but no pas- senger was dangerously hurt. Tracks or the Louisville and Nashville were blocked for several hours and the injured were brought here on electric cars. Ar inter- urban line parallels the railroad tracks at the wreck scene.
 It was not until il o'clock tonight that the last of the passengers were brought here. Most of them live in Kentucky.
 That some of the passengers were not killed in the crash or when the engines exploded is considered miraculous by those on the train.

2 CENTS NECESSARY ID CARRY CARDS Birmingham Cards for Post Card Day Affected
 by Ruling


 An important announcement was made yesterday by the advertising committee of the Chamber of Commerce concerning the postoffice regulations on the sending of the Birmingham cards on post card day, which will be observed on Janu- ary 20.
 All these cards that bear a message, written in pen or pencil by the sender, must carry z cents postage but if the message is rubber stamped thereon or printed with pen or pencil signature a ] cent stamp will carry it. The. postalAu- thorities have ruled that the Birmingham card, which is a three section folder, is above the ordinary size and must be posted accordingly. A ? cent stamp will cover any writing on the card and cent stamp will be sufficient for those postals bearing printed greeting.
 The cards are unusually pretty in thelf arrangement and tints, the views of the Ensley furnaces and business section or the city being colored to reproduce the natural effects. The figures showing the growth of Birmingham for the past 10 wears are given in a corresponding shade.
 The placards to be placed Tn the cigar and drug stores which will be used as dls- tributing points for the post cards, Will give directions for the stamping of the cards. and every person is urged by the Chamber of Commerce committee to 1ol- low these so as to avoid hitch Tn the cards reaching their destination,
