 The Duchess of Sutherland speak ing al meeting of the North Staff fordshire Cripples' Aid society said the day is coming when no one will be grateful for the crumbs that fall from the rich mans table. "It will be q good day too" she added.

Years ago when l came inexperienced among you you called me Meddlesome Millie' As far as q miserable duchess could be an agitator l strove 10 be one; but what changes since those days, Slowly, def. nitely, the aspiring democracy demand an open road; slowly, surely, people move from byways to the open road.

A Enuntain of Punch

Some of the papers have recently de- voted attention to the origin of punch that famous 17th century drink which has long lost its popularity in this country though it still survives to some extent oi, the continent.
 Owing to it's intimate connection with rum one might easily have imagined that punch originated in the West Indies. Ir fact. however, it actually came from the East Indies and the name is said to be de- rived from the Sanskrit "panscha," five on account of its five ingredients-arrak (afterward rum), tea. sugar, lemon and hot water.
 The most magnificent bowl of punch the world has ever seen was probably that provided by the Right Hon. Edward Russell. who. when commanding his majesty's forces in the Mediterranean in 169i entertained eO00 guests at Alicante, where q large marble fountain was filled with the liquor, the Ingredients being:
 Four hogsheads of brandy, a pipe of Malaga wine, 259o lemons, % gallons of lime juice, eight hogsheads of water, five pounds of grated nutn,egs in weight. 301 toasted biscuits and thirteen hundred weight of fine white sugar.

MEN MEET
 WEDNESDAY TO PLAN SOME
 BIG RACES FOR THIS FALL
By CLYDE V. ENNIS

For the purpose of discussing the sub
 stitutiona of auto races at the fair this year for horse racing meeting of the
 automobile dealers of Birmingham has been called for next Wednesday. Sc much was announced yesterday by Judge
 Dan A. Greene. president of the associa- ton, who added that the matter was be-
 ing taken up with the dealers individually
 so that they will be fully informed of
 what is to be done at the meeting l It is announced that committee will l be appointed at the meeting Wednesday night which will meet the fair associa- ton officials and discuss with them the proposition of having no horse races. but of having auto races instead. The more modern race sport has taken considerable
 hold upon the local people. It is said. hence the idea of the dealers to give them what is wanted.
 The automobile dealers working as a unit will be able to bring here a con siderable number of expert racers from among those experts who are annually paid by auto dealers to race certain kinds of ears If these racers are brought here lItft VIII Dt SullSlCul Spotl III AHob iiiic to last for a considerable while. The dealers. however, will insist upon certain propositions being carried out such as the betterment of the track and the oil-
 ing of the circle to prevent accidents such as befell Walter Gather at a recent meeting
 In reference to the meeting and the ap- pontment of committee to confer with the fair association officials, Judge Greene yesterday said:
 The meeting will be largely attended and it has been set for Wednesday. A committee will be appointed to talk over the coming fair with the fair officials As yet I >>.-td be unwilling to discuss in detail the proposition as we have not taken it up with MT Chaffee and others of the fair organization. However, be- lieve personally that the plan is good one and that 1t will be entirely successful if adopted by the fair directors.
 In addition to the races at the fair the automobile dealers plan to do more than that for the fair this year. They will have extensive exhibits in the machinery building on the order of the exhibits held at the recent auto show and flying meet. The factories having learned of the pop ularty and exceptional success of the first effort are to enter heartily into the proposition, 1t is understood, which will go long way toward making the effort success It goes without saying that all the local dealers will put up for the exhibition as well as the races. The deal CTS are together on the proposition and will work in harmony to make the races and the exhibit big success.

Mir, Morris Returns

Thomas Morris, one of the Drennen Motor company salesmen. returned yes- terday from Detroit, Chicago and else where. He made a bee line for his closest personal friend E. R. Minhennett, Jr., and told him what a big, fine time he had in the north. MT. Morris, whose salesmanship record with Hubert Dren- nen caused that dealer to give away two or more trips to the factories, is widely known hsre. He is making a speciality of Cadillac cars and on a viist to the factory he was cordially received.
 'rhe 1913 cars of the Cadillac people will be better than ever before' said Mir. Morris yesterday. T have never claimed to be a Spanish athlete, but l do say that our cars are one year ahead in all mechanical construction of the other fellow. Our self starting rights are unassaiable from the other side.

Frank Gafford on the Job

l After spending six weeks In Kenoshai Wis, standing an examination with the Thomas B. Jeffery company. makers oi the Rambler cars, Frank H. Gafford, Jri l has returned to the city. He has been appointed state sales agent for the cars
 and will make an extensive trip over this state during this season. He said that the company has now three agents 1T Alabama, but that additional agencies will be opened up and efforts made te push the Rambler machine with the very
 best families of this state.
 Mir Gafford said the examination given
 at the Rambler factory was decidedly
 more like work than any like proposition that he ever embraced, but that he was
 immediately pleased with his trip and the
 outlook for his success.
 "The Rambler makers, he said yester- day, have proposition that measures up in the "AAAI'' class as Bradstreet would say, and there is no question but what we will be able to convince dis eliminating buying public of our sanguine
 belief that Rambler ears will be the most popular in the state"
 MT. Gafford spent some days in Chi cago, where he went a round or two with Tom Morris, who happened to, be there at the same time. From indefinite but authorized reports both the Birmng- ham visitors spent a most enjoyable pe- riod of time in Chicago.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by. Withdrawal of Blood
From .he Brain, Says Hodern
Physiology.

All the organs OF life rest in some
way Or other. The heart has en- in
terval Of rest between each combined
act Of contraction and expansion and
the beginning Of q fresh act. Be-
tween each expiration Of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is a period of repose. Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one-fourth of the
time.
Certain of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was cared by the pressure Of the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology, with tendency to regard
the brain as the origin Of all force
and Of all functions of the body, in
c!ines to the view that sleep is
caused by a withdrawal Of blood from
the brain.
AS rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep it requires. Webster went
to bed at nine o'clock and rose at
FIVE. General Grant used 10 say, dur
Ing his campaigns, II can do moth
ing without nine hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men Of
large brain--that o. sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within
a space Of two minutes. Pitt was
sound sleeper, and slept night after
night in the house of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate
and reused him when il was neces.
sary that he should speak.
