Weather Conditions

Birmingham, May 2S.-C7 P. M)-The area of low pressure that was central Monday night over the eastern slope of the Rockies has moved eastward and now overnes the central Mississippi valley and lake region. It has caused general rain over most of the country east of the Mis- sissippi. The effect of this rainy and cloudy weather has been to reduce tenn peratures generally over this section from to % degrees. bringing relief from the warm weather of the past week.
 West of the Rockies an area of high pressure is lowering in from the Pacific. Il has caused clear weather in that sec ton except in the Pacific northwest, where high showers have occurred.
 In the cotton belt clear weather and falling temperatures prevailed west of the Mississippi, except Louisiana Throughout the lower Mississippi and northern sec tions rain was general. also in central Alabama and northern Florida. East of the Mississippi temperatures have re- mained nearly stationary, except on the Atlantic coast, where a slight rise has oc- currsd.
 In Birmingham temperatures were two degrees above normal. the mean being n degrees.
 Rather cloudy weather is expected Wednesday with local tnunderstorms. Summary of observations made at United States weather bureau stations. May 2S:

SPEAKS ON TRUTHS
 OF ADVERTISING
Chaffee Adressed Large Meeting of Birmingham
 Ad Club Yesterday

Frank P. Chaffee secretary of the Busl- ness league. was the principal speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Birmingham Ad Mems club at the Turn Verein yes- terday. Notwithstanding the absence of many of the members of the club, who have not yet returned from the trip to Dallas. Tex, the luncheon was well at tended. MT. Chaffee,s talk on Truths of Advertising" was well received and much appreciated by the members of the club
 MT. Chaffee said In part:
 "A recognized authority on advertising has said: The biggest men in the world today are salesmen. They may call them- selves bankers. lawyers, corporation presi- dents. engineers, or ministers. As mat ter of fact they are selling their own or some one ese's services, and the man who is the best salesman gets the high est price
 Advertising Is a fundamental law of nature. Trades greatest economizer in shortening the distance between two points-the seller and the buyer. The best business transactions are those in which both parties interested are satis- fled and where both make a profit. The man who is so close on a bargain as to al- ways get the best of the other fellow, will soon have no one to bargain with. Always remember, the other fellow is entitled to chance.
 You advertising specialists diagnose trade symptoms-you then administer cer- tain treatment in the way of advertising, and I venture to say you can forecast the results with greater degree of &C., curacy than the average physician can diagnose a case, prescribe medicine and foretell it's effect on a patient. This is not meant to disparage the work Of the medical profession, but merely to illus trate that advertising Is more of an ex- act science than is medicine.
 Birmingham Is to be especially con- graduated on the splendid live organiza- tion 1t has in it's Ad club and should be particularly proud of the recent work of your club at Dallas. In the past week or ten days, you have given our city greater and more effective advertising than any amount of money could have bought.
 An organization such as this Is a real factor in our city building, and with that cooperation, which I am sure you will give to the Business Mems league and the Chamber of Commerce in their ef- forts to advertise Birmingham as trade center, and to increase our retail trade, and to make the Magic City the real in- dustrial and trade center of the south.

REMOVED FROM
 OFFICE BY SUPREME COURT

All the other counts save this one was withdrawn by the attorney general, and the court held that this was sufficient for Something's removal from office, declaring that the legislative enactment of 1911 re- pealed the law under which the sheriff had Instituted his contest, and that the judg- ment of the probate court was void. The contest was decided by Judge Burke in October, 1911, about six months after the passage of the bill taking away from county courts authority to try contested elections.
 The opinion in the case was written by Judge T. (. Mcclellan, and all the judges of the court concurred with the excep- ton of Judge Simpson.
 The removal of Scheuing from office creates a vacancy which will be filled by appointment by Governor O'Neal. and will be the second appointment to the office of sheriff which the executive will have made during the past two years. The first appointment was in Bullock county, to fill the office vacated by the impeach- ment of Sheriff P. w. Jinwright, charged with neglect of duty in the protection of a negro prisoner.
