WHAT MAKES FOR SUCCESS.

When a girl dabbles in a whole lot of
things she loses real interest In any one
OF them and hence does not become sue
cessful. Decide what YOU want to do or
be. and then bend every effort toward
making this thing possible. Sometimes,
IL Is true, a girl cannot do the thing she
would like to do because other obligations
demand her efforts. Even in such event
she should make the best of the sit,-
alton, do well the thing she is obliged TO
do, in the hopes that 1t will eventually
Lead her out OF encouragement into the
clear light of happiness.
Many of the worlds most successful
women are those who at the beginning
of their careers had TO do many things
that were distasteful to them, n who
had to overcome obstacles that at first
sight seemed overwhelming.

POINTS in HUMAN ARITHMETIC.

A mans height should be eight
times the length of his head; a wom-
ms only seven and a half times.
Fashion plates, however, are always
drawn longer, to emphasize the
sweep of the dress. A typical fashion
plate figure measures more than
eleven heads. The circumference of
the closed fist, too, should equal the
length of the foot, and the fingers
should be able to encircle the neck.
Test these measurements on yourself.

The majority of them are as vet but little mixed with the negro Those who are in no way mixed with the blacks show fairly uniform physical type, which is characterized by medium brown skin, horizontal brown eye, black straight hair (with tendency to wave when long), black, straight, or slightly curling beard, moderate statue, medium high head. some what oblong face rather long and narrow ear, nose of medium width, moderately proportioned chest pelvis, hands and feet. As compared to white people. they have somewhat higher pulse and respira- tion than the average, but perceptibIv lower temperature, and decidedly lower muscular force.
 The type of the kharga natives is rad fcally distinct from that of the negro. According to all indications it is funda- mentally the same as that of the non negroid Egyptians of the Nile valley and Is a composite of closely related north eastern African and southwestern Asiatic, or 'hamitic' and Semitic" ethnic ele- ments, and is to be classed as part of the southern extension of the Medterran- can subdivision of the white race.

MRS. SADIE C. SMITH
 UONORFE AT HEARTS"

The home of Mrs Joseph Smith in Nor
 uood was one bower of green smilax and
 white spring blossoms yesterday aiter-
 noon when Mrs. A. c. Billups ana Mrs. Smith entertained at "heartsf Tn honor of the bride-to-be, Miss Sadie c. Smith, and her charming out of town guests, who are to be her bridesmaids on Monday
 when she marries Dr. Henry Ward In the center of the table in the dining room
 was large plateau of beautiful ferns ,,non which was a large wedding cake. A
 rather interesting and novel departure from the usual cutting of the bride cake was carried out by having green and V hite ribbons attached to the cake which
 the young ladies pulled. Instead of the
 time honored ring to the end of the lucky ribbon was attached a miniature bride
 groom, and instead of the thimble, the
 dread of many a bridesmaid, at the emu of another ribbon was a bachelors but | ton, that the girl may save 1t for future |use In the place of prizes the winner at "hearts' had the first draw for the sugar coated bridegroom. The ices were in tho shape of green hearts adorned by little white Cupds. and the comports upon the table held hints and bonbons which entirely blended with the color scheme or the entire entertainment. Mrs. Billups' gown was of black and white messaline with touches of green and lace trim niings, and Mrs. Smith was looking es- pecially well in a very soft silk of light green shade The bride-to-be wore handsomely embroidered voile over silk, which was very becoming to her Among those included in this happy affair were . Miss Sadie C. Smith, Mrs. Rivers Me | Keithen and Miss Mary Ella McKeithen
 of Montgomery, Miss Mabel Smith of
 Phoenix, Ariz.; Miss Lena Smith, Miss
 Claudia Smith and Miss Fanny Smith of Prattville, Miss Bessie Owing and Miss Mamie LeRoy Smith,

UNIQUE STUDY OF PEOPLE
 ON EGYPTIAN OASIS KHARGA

Washington, April 26.-(SpeciaL) = Through arrangements made with the Metropolitan museum of New York, the museum have been Investigating the physical characteristics of the natives of the Kharga oasis Egypt
 Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology. United States National mu- scum, spent some Ia weeks in the field carrying out the work, and the results of his studies have just been issued by the Smithsonian institution under the title,
 'The Natives of the Kharga Oasis, Egypt"
 The Kharga oasis is located in the Lii byan desert and lies about 12O miles west from Luxor, She ancient Thebes. It is somewhat nearer the River Nile, how ever. and is now connected with it by a railroad The physical peculiarities of the people living there have never before been made the subject of scientific study and Owing to their isolation, these natives may be regarded as best representing the old inhabitants of the region. Their an cestors probably settled there in about POGO B. C.
 In selecting individuals for examination and measurement, pr. .Hrdlicka chose only those showing normal development, who were apparently free from negro admix- ture. This selection was necessarily made since an inclusion of those vsiblA part negro would vitate the results ol the observations. The total population of the oasis is about 10000, including some Bedouns, but out of this number pr. Hrdicl<a found only 159 individuals avail able for study. Measurements of various sorts were taken of these 150 male adults, but the female types could not be studied on account of restrctions of the Moham- medan religion.
 In general the people of the Kharsa oasis are of somewhat inferior develop ment, due to long continued defective nu-

If will be the source of extreme satis- faction to the many baseball fans of Bir- mingham and the Honorable James Bow ron in particular to learn that the road leading to Redwood field and even to the brick pavement leading down from Ensley Highlands is to be oiled at once. Not only will such a satisfying treat ment be given the road destined to dispel the curtain of dust five miles long, 100 feet high and % feet thick that usually accompanies a ride to that neighborhood, but there will also be placed upon the road materials bettering the conditions very much, including slag, chert and sand. A binder will perhaps be provided by the liberal street commissioner, the Honora- ble Frank H. Gafford, who is the official announcer of the foregoing work about to be initiated.
 He said yesterday that he would at once start to improve the road in ques- ton, which will provide boulevard to in this section. In places the pike will be widened and after the physical condi- tion has been put upon a high plane, the oil will be added. The oiling will be kept up until not one grain of dust in reality or as visionary character will be found in the ride to the baseball or fair grounds.
 MT. Gafford also made the pleasing an- nouncement yesterday that a pike would be made at once between Birmingham and East Lake. which would be widened, oiled and treated and kept in good condi- tion.

CONVICT FINDS GEMS
 IN PRISON YARD

Marquette, Mich, April 26.-There is one honest man among the '.lifers" serv- ing time in Marquette prison. At least Mrs. Al J. Straus of Cincinnati believes so. Neil Sinclair of Chippewa county is the prisoner and probably he is richer today than he has been for some time. at least. Recently Mrs. Straus visited the prison. Later she missed two diamond rings valued at $10o0. Believing she lost them in the hotel where she was staying she reported the loss and search was in sttuted. It developed that Sinclair found the jewels in the prison yard. They were in a chamois bag and probably had been kicked about unnoticed for some time by other convicts. The jewels were prompt ly returned to Mrs Straus with the story spun.

Washington, April 26.-(Special.) )-Oscar
 Underwood has completed a record for
 efficient service and party leadership of this country.
 At the beginning of the present session of Congress there was much speculation
 in the land among all political factions and parties as to the success or failure of his leadership during this session, one of
 the most important and most momentous in the history os the two parties. The republicans hoped for and really expected internal dissension and failure.
 The democrats were uneasy and fearful.
 True, MT. Underwood had come through
 the special session last year with flying
 colors He had been able to control the contending forces and influences of many elements in the party His leadership dur ing the special session was simply mar vicious. But could he continue his control
 during a regular session that had to deal with 70 many big questions and that, too,
 on the eve of campaign that promised
 much for the party?
 The party was full of men with personal
 and factonal ambition. r. was natural
 that iealolsies should arise. would Un-
 derwood be able to hold all these forces
 i'll line? Would he be able to carry througn the big legislative programme that had been laid cut for the party? I 1t vas a serious party oi.estiop and dem- | oefats talked in wkispers.
 l'nderwod faced most sturendous task. I.lit that task ,tas npw Deen completed The p, ograInire fns ieen completed and in suSh quiet, unesteEtstcus manner that democrats are just TOW waking up
 to the fact that the record has been
 made and that the democratic programme
 has been completed.
 Congress may adjourn tomorrow and Underwood's record will be complete. And
 he has accomplished his work so easily and with so little friction that nobody
 noticed when 1t was completed. Let us examine the record. Let us see if it is complete.
 The big task os tbe present session was to revise the tariff That IS what the country had demanded ana Is what the country expects of this session if that can be accomplished. They wanted other things but he tarIff was the big and vital question.
 As soon as practicable after the open ing of the session MT. Underwood started
 his tariff progi nmme. He pushed the big
 and most important schedules forward as
 rapidly as possible, giving full time for
 consideration. more than>was ever given
 by the republicans when they had charge
 of tariff legislation He managed af-
 fairs with a master hand There was no
 show of his leadership. There was no
 coercion. He simply pushed forward and
