at which over 100 golfers will compete and 20 elaborate trophies will be awarded to the winners. The tournament will be the largest amteur meet that has ever been held in Birmingham. and will prob ably be one of the largest ever held in the south. as over 25 golflng teams will be present.
 The meet will open Thursday, May g. The qualifying cup match will be played off on this day and trophy will be awarded to the golfer making the lowest score for the day, and also to the runners up in the four flights. On the re- maining two days. the four defeated eights will be played, and trophies will be awarded to the winners and run ners up.
 Each of the invited clubs is expected to enter team of four golfers in the club match. The most elaborate trophy will be given to the club winning this match with the lowest aggregate score for the four golfers Besides giving the club a trophy, markers will be given to the players in the winning team.
 On the last day of the tournament, the handicap matches will be played. Two handsome cups will be given to the win ners of the net and gross matches, as well as to the runners up. In all, 20 handsome cups or trophies will be given to the competing golfers.
 As the Country club is a member of the this association will be invited to enter with teams. The IS hole game will be played under the rules and regulations of that association. Teams from the fol- lowing cities have been invited to enter the tournament: Atlanta, Savannah, Rome, Athens, Ga. Thomasvile. Ga.. Americus, Ga., Jacksonville. Pensacola, Charleston, Wilmington. Nashville. Knox vile, Chattanooga, Memphis, Louisville Richmond. Fort Smith. Little Rock, Hot Springs, Dallas. Fort Worth, Houston, New Orleans. Shreveport. Mobile. Mont gomery, Anniston and all the clubs that are members of the association
 This is the second large tournament that has been held in this city in some years. On October s. 1906, the Country club held large and well attended meet at which many southern cities had teams. Since that time, however, Birmingham has i'm proved her golfing course, but yet it is not as good as those of other southern cities. The Country club will of course have a large number to enter the tour nament. and many believe that she will stand a good chance at landing the club trophy. At the present time the Country club is without an instructor In golf.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Regarding Church Contribution
the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Will you kindly correct<a mistake that appeared in the edition of your paper of Thursday, February s.
 MT. Bodeker in eulogizing the late Mir. W1lkerson, said: "On one occasion some ladies who were working the streets solic- iting aid for the Third Presbyterian church. approached Mir. Wilkerson asking for a donation. and he responded immedi- ately with a check for $500." Now, far be it from us to question the generosity of the late MT. Wilkerson. that is not our purpose, but we do wish it understood that we ladies have never canvassed the streets soliciting aid of strangers, neither did we receive the said $500. MT. Bodeker

LAST WEEK WE PROMISED to say something about forks-the most Vi tai part of a motorcycle--in our next ad Here we redeem that promise. FIRST LET US SAY we have a way of speaking frankly In our ads. telling truths that are not always favorable to ourselves. We think that Is one reason why the public reads and be- lieves our ads.
 . WE LEARNED SOMETHING about motorcycle forks during the first few months we were making them-and the lesson cost us heavily-for &C., cording to our usual practice, we replaced at our own expense all the forks that went wrong.
 WE CAN'T DO BETTER than to tell you how we learned to make what we honestly believe are the best forks that ever were put in a motor cycle.
 THE WHOLE SECRET is in the kind of steel used and it's treatment be- fore and after machining. NOW, OUR ENGINEERS made a pe- culiar mistake in the first few mo- torcycIes-they used steel of too good a quality. Does that sound unreasonable? It's a fact, just the same.
 70 POINT CARBON STEEL costs con siderably more than 12 point, and 1t costs three times as much to ma chine. You'd think 1t was better wouldn't you? So it is for many places in a motorcycle-but not in the forks. It is too hard-too brit tie.
 THAT WAS OUR MISTAKE. We soon found it out--for they broke. We replaced them-gratis and with apology to the buyer.
 THEN WE MADE soMB TESTS such as never had been made before. We what others can't. and the result of that costly error Is now the best and toughest forks ever put in a motorcycle.
 OF COURSE OTHER MAKERS and dealers are still telling the story of those few faulty forks-they don't know the war is over yet--or if they do. it isn't to their interest to say so.
 BUT NOW YOU GAN REFUTB all such tales. Ask them of what steel their forks are made-they can't tell, for they don't know. THEY WILL HAVE TO ADMIT how ever, that more forks are replaced at the buyers expenSe-tn their machines than any other part Ask them why.
 BESIDES THE QUALITY of the steel and excellence of workmanship there are details of design-many of them--that make Flanders A" forks and other parts just as much better than others as our corps of engineers Is more skilled, more learned than theirs. We tell of these in detail in our catalog- yours for the asking.
 AND ALWAYS REMEMBER that In buying anything with the Flanders name on it you get the Flanders guarantee and Flanders courteous treatment afterward.
 THE PRICE IS $175 fully equipped with mae1eto, etc.-no other maker can equal this quality at the price or for $50 more.

Based on present demand. No Rim-Cut tires are saving motor car owners a million dollars a month.
 This is how they save if:
 Rim-cutting is made impossi- ble. And statistics show that 25 per cent of all ruined clincher tires are rim-cut.
 No.Rim-Cut tires are 10 per cent oversize. And that 10 per cent oversize, under average conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage.
 Yet these patented tires now cost no more than other stand ard tires.

What Well Wear Next Fall
This Is the first of several important
fashion letters to be printed soon In the Times.

Paris, June rs.
The first authentic information that the great
designers OF Paris are sending out is that for street
wear this fall coats of different materials and ceiors
from the skirts will be worn with the plainest as
well as the richest tailor-made costumes.
The models which have seen SO beautiful
and the idea OF coat different from the skirt Is
such sensible and economical fashion that am
sending you pictures of some of them Let no one
make a mistake in buying her fall costume. Skirts
are to be wider and the handwriting the wall
warns against the straight line All the skirts see
over here are much longer-most of them lie on
the floor two three inches all the way around.
Cab hire is cheap in Paris that practically every
one rides who can afford to dress stylishly. How
ever do not think American women will give up
the freedom and comfort of the short skirt We are
too fond of walking untrammeled
Poiret still clings to his narrow effects car
red out with more or less oriental tendencies No
designer in Paris has had more to say about the
styles of all feminnity than Poiret during the last
two seasons. He has dash and originality, and
although he is almost too pronounced to be taken
up entirely by the conservative American dresser,
ye. toucn ion the great designing mouse OF
Poiret can be added to many gowns with splendid
effect
Nine. Paquin has not yet spoken but It can
be said with confidence that she will bring out this
fall some modification of the pannier.
Nearly all the street coats l have seen SO far
are much more fitted to the figure than those of
last year. Most of them are cut away in front as
well. Skirts have all sorts of unexpected ways of
putting In fullness. A swagger street frock from
broadcloth cut in the conventional narrow manner
except on one side there Is section of kilt pleats
reaching from the Deit to the hem. The coat to be
worn with this is of black and white checked velvet
we'll over the hips in length and fastened with
three buttons over the bust from which it is cut
away showing the skirt. The button holes are
made of white silk and there are little arrowheads
and stitching Of white silk from the shoulder
around to the bust on the front seam, which is
used instead OF a dart to bring the coat In some
what at the waist and obviate the straight line
The collar and cuffs are white broadcloth. The
collar Is made in Robespiere style. This kind of
collar bids high for popular favor this fall

COMMON SENSE TALK BY
THE TIMES PHYSICIAN
sURGERY'S NOT VERY DIFFERENT FROM CARPENTERING


A famous surgeon, who was ex-
tremely modest, once attempted
to evade embarrassing praise for
a wonderful operation by stating
that surgery after all is simply a
form of carpentry and plumbing,
with the human anatomy instead
OF lumber and lead pipe as the
material on which the surgeon
practices his skill.
Recent discussion In the medi-
cal profession of the latest meth
DDS of reducing fractures would
seem to bear out this statement.

The average housekeeper dis
likes the ice box with water tank
attachment, because the tank
must be constantly cleaned. TAX
ing ice from the box to make ice
water also has q number OF dis
advantages, the most important
being the reduction of the size of
the ice cake in the box and the
expense OF providing Ice for both
water and box.
There is way. however, that
permits the household to have
sweet, fresh fee water at all
times and does away with both
the tank and the ice in the
pitcher or glass. 1t consists
simply of having the tinsmith or
plumber line the Ice chamber of
the refrigerator with heavy tin
piping in a single coil.
Each end of the coil should be
carried out of the refrigerator at
opposite sides. One of these
ends should be equipped with a
faucet and the other with a rub

Another surgeon is the author
of an article that goes even fur
Their than DR.. Murphy's, and the
pictures used with 1t would tend
to show that fixing a broken leg
is not different from mending the
leg of a table, after all.

fers to the use of steel plates to
