SEWING HAIR ON BALD HEADS he Hr{i

from the chicago Tribune.
 Dr. Szekey Ferencz has devised method for implanting hair into the scalps of bald headed persons In carry ing out the process the scalp is first care- fully eleansed and anaesthetized with solution of novocaine. The operator uses Nmber of small hooks, made of gold wire and in the eyelet of each hook doubly folded hair is inserted. The hook is then pushed into the scalp with aid of a Pravatz needle, of which from 30O to 400 are in readiness, all prepared with hook and hair and. of course. thorough 1y sterilized before use. When the needle has been pushed into the scalp it Is turned at right angle and then pulled out leaving the hair under the skin fastened by the outstanding end of the hook. As at one sitting not more than from 300 to 400 hairs can be implanted. full head of hair requires from to 10 sittings. as- suming that from 10000 to 10000 hairs will cover head Dr. Szekely is some times able to apply the treatment every alternate day. If there is inflammation around a hair this is pulled out and the inflammation promptly ceases.

Boys md School

"'In this day of high cost of living in all parts of the country, wages. if not correspondingly high. are much highcr than they were 10 or 12 years ago. said a well known citizen.
 Many of us remember when s1 a day was considered a good wage for a. com mon laborer and now the same laborer gets from sl.25 to s1 5O day. Mechanics are better paid than they were few years ago. First class salesmen and bookkeepers receive larger salaries than formerly. Boys of 13 or 15 years of age make from s25 to $50 a month as mes- sengers, call boys or clerks, and happen to know boys of 16 who earn as much as their hard working daddes did 20 years ago; and it is about boys that wish par ticularly to speak. They ought to be kept at school until they graduate A fairly bright boy who applies himself can get through the high school at 1e or IT. but too many boys whose parents are able to keep them in school want to be men by the time they put on long trousers and go to work for themselves. A widow who depends upon her children for support is often excusable for letting a son stop school at IA and get employment that will help maintain the family But every youth should have an education. and from every point of view 1t would pay well for boy to continue at school until he graduates, no matter what his calling in life is to be-"

MELBA's LIQUID NOTES

Paris Letter to the New York Sun.
 Tourists abroad dread few things so much as the customs inquisition. Of all the ports at which the unfortunate trav- eler has to bother with customs officers Toulon is one of the worst.
 The mail steamer from Australia ar rived there just after dusk one day. .-
 A lady sat disconsolately on a box wait ing for the mercurial officials to ex- anime some 10 trunks heaped upon the customs platform. They talked, they laughed. they gesticulated they hopped about, but the trunks remained un- touched.
 "It won't be long now, madam" a gen. tleman said reassuringly to the lonely looking woman.
 Isn't it sinful?" she remarked.
 An official pricked up his ears The voice had familiar tones. A little cascade of notes unconsciously escaped from her mouth He was erect, alert.
 "Madame," he calculated, madam who?"
 Mime. Meba,' was the reply.
 In 10 seconds the trunks were cleared.

for blow. And so in this campaign MT. Roosevelt's supporters cannot use him as a shield to protect them selves against the attacks that may be made against the policies for which they stand" The campaign will go on unchecked by the shot of an insane man and no one would more quickly demand that it should than Coolnel Roosevelt.
 In two weeks from next Tuesday the campaign will be wound up. It is in it's last stages and practically ev cry voter knows now how he will vote. The convictions of all the pre- vious months of campaign will not be changed by the frustrated shot of a maniac from Bavaria who seems to have made assassination side line in a mercantile business on an East side street in New York.

Political Patronage

When I first began to take an in- terest in politics the federal patronage was enormous and what added largely to the zest of party work was the spells that came to the victors," said an ex-officeholder. But the civil serv- ice law has changed all this. The so- called merit system has been gradually extended until now most of the office holders remain in their places during good behavior. Local workers are now inspired altogether by party principles.
 Some years ago I would have thought 1t pretty hard If the workers in the party in power were deprived of the spells. But now l think that the civil service law is good thing. Pres ident Taft made sweeping change the other day when he signed the order placing s5.000 fourth class postma sters m the civil service list That I be- lieve, completes the work so far as the small postoffices are concerned. It is only question of time when the pres idential postmasters-there are nearly 5000 of them-will come under, civil service rule"

MODERN PALESTINE

From the New York Telegram.
 The modern spirit is very much in evi- dence in Palestine. and the Rev. s. F. Graham. the president of the Wesleyan Theological seminary at Boston, who has conducted a party of divinity students through the Holy Land. has been telling of the dsillusions there for the travelor.
 In the first place, the pilgrim now goes to Jerusalem in an up-to-date railway carriage. "In Jerusalem,' says Mr. Gra- ham, great blocks of business and gov ernment buildings rise in all the strident newness of modern architure upon the ruined sites of ancient temples, while the orumbling walls have been cut away to widen the historic gateways to the former sacred city Where Jaffa Gate once stood, to be closed at sundown against all stragglers of the night, is now a broad, open avenue of imposing aspect.
 Electric lights are everywhere, flash ing their message of the new in public buildings. hotels. private houses and street lamps, and in glittering signs of potted foods and patent medicines. Motcr cars are quite common, too, and 1t some times brought laugh to the lips to see solemn tubaned Turk or Arab sheilSh in flowing caftan whirl by in a handsome touring car of the latest model.
 But the most amazing thing of all that I found in Jerusalem was the moving pie ture theatre, outside of which stood a native barker who, in a sonorous voice, invited passers-by to enter and witness the exciting contests of the Olympic games at Stockholm, or see how the fa- nous American cowboy ropes a steer!
 "On the rich plains of sharon, and on the tablelands between Jaffa and Jerusa- lem steam driven threshing machines and modern harvesters may be seen.
 Damascus has a street railway sys- tenn, and motor boats splutter their way across the Sea of Galilee. The Turkish government purposes, I am told, to have motor boats on the Jordan.

Richmond, Norfolk, Atlanta Birmingham, Nashville and Memphis all made fine showings in the last census and will show large gains in the next.

Resumption of the Campaign

Colonel Roosevelt's wound is stead Ny and normally healing. A robust constitution and years of activity and wholesome living will aid in bringing the ex-president back to his work. Already he says he will be present at a meeting to be held in Madison Square Garden in New York on October 26.
 The campaign is to be resumed at the old stands and the hope is every where expressed that Colonel Roose- velt's voice will again be heard in it. A shot fired by native of Bavaria who may be said to have been born with a disordered brain will not change the issues of a country con- taining 90,000,000 of sane people. Those issues will be decided by men and women-of sound minds and the bullet of the distempered Schrank will not be even factor in the case. "A nation," said Mir. Bryan at Indian apolis, "sits expectantly by the ex- presidents bedside hoping that the wound is not serious one. But MT. Roosevelt's supporters must not use this attack to protect themselves and their position from just criticism The brave soldiers on the battlefield do not use the wounded for breast works. They stand out and give blow

MORE ALPINE VICTIMS
rom the London Express.


 According to statistics compiled by the Swiss Alpine club. the number of Alpine fatalities is increasing yearly.
 The latest report, which has just been published. shows that there were 133 fatal accidents in 1911, as against 100 in 1910. Of this number "A occurred in the Austrian and Bavarian Alps s9 in the Swiss Alps, seven in the French Alps, and 1s in other parts of Central Europe.
 No mention is made in the-report of the number of persons injured by falls. and as the proportion is usually three to one killed, at least 300 persons re- ceived Injuries while climbing last year.
 This marked increase is due to the corresponding increase in the army of climbers. of whom there are now 10o.- coo in Europe.
 The majority of last years victims were Germans, Austrians and Swiss. while only 9 per cent of those killed were of British or American national ify The latter almost invariably em- rioy guides for difficult ascents.

TENNIS AN ANCIENT GAME
? New York Sun

From the New York sun
 By many people tennis Is thought to be an essentially modern game, but in re ality 1t is probably one of the most an- cient ball games and was sport long before chicket was dreamed of. Though thurian period, tennis, or as it was called 'tenez,' is mentioned in the Arthurian legends, written in 150o, and the knights of the round table were pictured as en- gagged in the sport when the weather was too hot for journeys or jousts
 From simple beginning. and through many centuries. the intricacy of the games rules has been developed. Its present name seems to be corruption of the term ''tenez. which the server used in the same way ready Is called out now. In the beginning the name was jeu de paume, taken from the fact that the ball was struck with the hands in- stead of with a rocket. Later the hand was incased in glove and still later the glove was covered with strings. running crisscross, from which condition there was but short step to the short handled racket.
 In feudal times the courts were merely open grass plots, ofttimes the lawn of a castle and not till late in the seventeenth century was the court inclosed. wher walls were built as backstops. Now most of the modern English and French courts are entirely inclosed with four walls and roof.
 In view of the fact that France has taken tennis up seriously during the last decade, and won considerable success ir the field. it is interesting to note that the game is really of French origin, though mos. of its development has been in Eng land. In the Basque provinces it is stil played with gloves instead of rackefs and in Italy game very similar. hu played in the open. is popular under C>tht name of ''pallone.

TRICKS OF STREET THIEVES

father or big brother has to explore the pockets of the sympathetic people crowd. ed above.
 The operatios of the railway station thief with his false buttoned portmanteau, which he sets down for a moment over come one elses bag on the platform, and then walks off with the bag safely gripped in the steel springs of his own empty portmanteau shell, are almost too well known to require description; but there is neat swindle sometimes per. petrated on travellers by crowded holiday trains, in regard to which word of warning may be uttered. It Is a habit with great many travellers, particularly ladies, to carry their railway tickets in their hands, or perhaps stuck in the in. side pocket of their purse or handbag, where it is in full view. This is a rather unwise habit, but it is still more foolish to hand your ticket for a moment to the pleasant conversationist who sits oppo- site you or next to you, although he may give it back to you immediately after satisfying the curiosity on some small point which has been his pretext for borrowing 1t. When the ticket collector comes around the pleasant conversation. list declares to the waiting man that f1s has already given up his ticket among the first which were collected in the com pertinent. The ticket collector counts the tickets in his hand, and demurs that he Is still one short. But" says the con- versationist. T am certain I gave you my ticket. In any case I always make 1 nrac cfiPo of tbo .>F railway tickets. Here it is scribbled on the edge of this newspaper-7254' Nat urally. the ticket bearing this number is found in the collectors hand, for 1t is the ticket which the "conyersationist' borrowed for a moment to settle some little point of discussion, and which his innocent accompllce himself handed to the collector.

Alaba mas Centennial

On Wednesday next the centennial committee will meet at Montgomery to decide where and how the state shall celebrate her first centennial an- niversary in the union. The whole matter should be and doubtless will be outlined at this important meet ing.
 The first question to come up will be this, shall the state hold an ex- position in 1919? The city that is prepared to make the largest and surest guarantee of suitable fund will be pretty apt to be named as the exposition city. A large fund will certainly be needed, and no city should be selected that will not make good in raising great fund after the legislature of 1915 has decided what it will give toward the celebra- tion. An estimate of the state ap- propriation cannot now be made. It will not, however, exceed $500,000, and the city that secures the exposi- tion should be prepared to put up the balance needed. These are large fig ures in Alabama, but less sums should not be considered, for a fit exposition in 1919 will cost a plump million dollars above all probable re- ceipts,

The Young Irish Tenor

While I was in Chicago recently I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Fiske OHara fin the romantic play, The Rose of Kildare said M. F. Linnehan
 ''Mr. O'Hara is an exceptionally attrac- be just as attractive in private life.

Authority of the Board of Revenue

Authority of the Board of Revenue
 The state tax commission probably will not assert tomorrow before Judge Crow a right to reverse, set aside or modify the decisions in the Jefferson county valuation cases. It will no doubt simply ignore all action by either the back tax commissioner or by the board of revenue, and will proceed to make new valuations of various properties and on those new valuations it will stand both be- fore Judge Crow and the appellate court.
 The question will still, however, relate to the right of the state tax commission to override the action of the board of revenue. To ignore a decision of the board of revenue is certainly equivalent to reversal of it. The form of the attack does not change the nature of it. The real is- sue remains, namely, is the decision of the board of revenue in valuation cases final? There is no way appar- ently in which this issue can be evad- ed. The device of a new valuation by the state tax commission certainly will not change the real issue. The power of the board of revenue over valua- tions of property for tax purposes remains to be defined, and the new ness of valuation should not and probably will not becloud the real is sue.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
Trueker. settling in AInbama

Many homeseekers from the north have settled in Alabama within the past two or three years but the number would increase rapidly If systematic efforts were made to bring truck farmers to counties particularly we'll adapted to horticulture" said S. Hechnger, who was Instrumental
 in bringing number of thrifty truck farming families to Jefferson county a year ago.
 "Culfman county, which Is well known as an exceptionally thrifty county, could double it's population in few years if the advantages of that section were thor oughly exploited in the overcrowded agri- cultural states of the north. Cullman has large stretches of virgin land that could be divided up into 40 or 80 acre farms and sold so cheap as to attract truck farmers of small means. Some people may Imagine that all we have to do is to let people know that the land Is here for sale. But in addition to that great deal of personal effort is necessary. In other words, publicity work must be followed up by individual appeal.

President Smith and the New Zo

President Smith and the New Zoo
 The boys and girls should rejoice, for a zoo in this city is we'll as- sured. The park commission will, it is hoped, locate it in the Avondale park which has great spring of pure water and good water sup ply is of course matter of prime importance. Avondale park is an ideal place for the zoo.
 A gift of 5000 collection of ami mals by President Ford of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company is a good start, and this collection will be procured as soon as the new geological association, of which Frank w. Smith is president, can arrange to build suitable houses for the animals.
 AS soon as this gift is properly housed it will not be difficult to raise money to secure additional animals and it will not be long before the roar of lions and the huge form of an elephant will delight all boys and girls who visit the city's new zoo. No city is complete without one. Mem phis on the one hand has one and Atlanta has another. This city need not consider, however, adjacent cities. The love of wild animals exists in the breast of every child, and the popularity of zoo here is assured before even the first animal has been brought to town.
