OF this worlds dust-their lutes did

And I. myself, grew faint and blind

Their vanishing eyes. Then thou didst

Their songs their splendors DIETER.

Problems
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.
Sy Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a young
man of eighteen years and there is
girl in my home town that I really
love with all my heart. She seems
to be kind to me when speak to her.
How can I win her love? I would like
to stop her whenever I meet her on
the street, but I always do not know
what to say. What is a nice name
to call her when I meet her? T. e.
Do you want to marry her? Can
you support a wife? Are you old
enough to bear the responsibilities of
married life? Do you know enough to
make wife happy?
Ask yourself these questions before
you try to win a girls love, because
no honorable man will wish to do that
without intending to marry the girl.
You should not call the girl by any
endearing name unless you are en-
gagged to her. Then you may call her
all the pretty things you can think
Of
Ask her If you may call on her
Take her out to entertainments, pic
MICS, etc., occasionally. Be courteous,
good-natured and kind hearted, and
she will certainly like you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How can
keep my eyebrows back? They are
heavy and long and curl up, especially
when it is warm. RAY.
Pull out superfluous hairs, with
tweezers, and train the eyebrows by
smoothing them down with your fin
gers several times a day.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am seven
teen years old and am acquainted with
young man eighteen. Four years
ago we went to school together and
were good friends. I meet him almost
every day going to work. 1 like him
very much and would like to speak to
him. Is it proper for me to speak
first? BLONDE.
There would be no harm in pleas
antly reminding him of your school
friendship.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Recently l
went with some friends to a picnic
at another town. I met a fellow from
our town. He danced with me and
asked me to take walk with him.
We went about two blocks. He always
wanted to hold my hand and I wouldn't
let him. He didn't like it very much
and he said was the first girl he
ever walked with that he didn't take
hold of her hand. I don't let anybody
take my hand.
Then he asked me to sit down. l

Montgomery, April 25.-(Speeial)-Is Fc- ley, in Baldwin county, to be made q mobilization point for United States troops pi eraratory to an invasion of Mexico?
 This question is being gwen serious consideration by a number of prominent men of this city, and is declared to be uppermost in the minds. of citizens Of Baldwin county. Members of the Ala bdma National Guard are asking the same question
 It Is declared that the government has been making extensive improvements al Foley during the past few weeks, though t was reported that the operations were merely for maneuVering purposes This report was at first credited notwith- standing the fact that considerable sur prize was expressed over the govern nents selection of Foley as q maneuver- ing point

Fifty Mile Auto Race Was
 A Great EOent Yesterday

An event of more than local importance was the 5G mile automobile race yestcr day at the fair grounds in which the Ford car was winner covering the 50 miles in 5s minutes and seconds. The lace was fast and exciting and while no serious accident marred the event it was full of interest and the result was in doubt almost upsto thei very finish.
 The race was billed as the star event of the aviation meet just concluded, but ewing to the unfavorable weather and the bad condition of the track the race was put off from time to time until yes terGay, when everything was propitious and the track in splendid condition. Ow- ing to the fact that the announcement Was made that the aviation meet was closed the crowd was very small but those who went to the fair grounds yes terday witnessed a grand race and one free from accidents.
 There were six entries including the Ford, Stutz, Buick, E. M. F.. Great Southern and Chalmers, They got away good on the start except the Chalmers car. which withdrew from the race in it's early stage. The local car, the Great Southern, made a good showing and fn- ished third, running the entire race with out an accident The Ford scored a splen- did victory finishing the great race fully three miles ahead of the nearest com petitor.
 The order of the race at the finish was: Ford, first; Buick, second; Great southern, third. Stutz, fourth. The Ford car made the entire race without an ac- cident and finished in great shape. The startling feature of the race was the fact that the E. M. r. car ran into the fence twice, fortunately without fniur- ing the driver or maclincian. and was forced to withdraw from the race.
 The Stutz car took the lead and kept it for some time, when one of the wires oc tho coils broke. causing consider able delay. The Buick also played in tough luck. shedding a tire at the thirty fifth mile and another at the forty first. The E. M. F. skidded when taking the curves and went clear into the fence

In Contact With Public

.No other Institution comes Tn closer contact daily with the general pub lie nor serves more heterogeneous population. It's management should bc characterized by broad and liberal public spirited policy and on the other hand the public in it's attitude should be fair minded and inclined to boost rather than knock the company.

 The statement of MT. Ford was re- garded as clearly conclusive that after careful study the pay-as-you-ent car would be tried here. Naturally the of ficial indication that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company would institute the departure. from the usual operation here, created intense in- terest.
 MT. Ford also said the new proposition would soon be tried out" It is sup posed the pay-as-you-en cars will fol- low soon. The members of the party last night seemed to think well of the pro- posed plan judging from the applause given. the statement of President Ford.

 New Orleans, April 25.--Water tonight is five feet deep in the town of Clayton, La, according to reports received here from Concordia parish, sections of which are feeling the full effect of the Salem crevasse. Water is reported rising in Concordia and six or more parishes are more or less inundated.
 WeeksN will elapse before the inhab- tants of flooded sections in Louisiana and Mississippi can return to their hopes. The floods reached Ferriday, in upper Concordia and is gradually creeping up on other towns and baclwaters from the Salem crevasse, which broke the Tensas levee near Clayton and flooded the latter town during the night. The town of svidalia, opposite Natchez. Miss, will be eventually reached.
 Special or star mall routes by small boats and railroad handcars have been established to reach all available points in upper Sharkey and lower Washing ton counties. These counties in Misss- sippi felt the encouching waters, Bel zona and Silver City getting water from the sunflower river.
 Predicts Another Rise
 pr. l. M. Kline, district foreeaster of the United States weather bureau still insists that the prediction of 255 feet on the government river gauge will be real ized. He said during the night that the creast of the flood had not yet reached the Louisiana line.
 All the basins in north Louisiana, south Arkansas and northwest Mississippi are filled up,' said pr. Kline, "and the river in that section is practically 50 miles wide This water is beginning to flow straight through and come back to the Mississippi through tributaries. Wher you figure that 50 milest of water is to be conyerged to ml's width down here, it is not unreasonable that we should have very high water"
