[ IIGHLY diverting incidents featured
the political situation during the
1 week Just gone. In the first
place there was the interesting exchange
of personalities between Governor O'Neal
and Tom L. Long. In the second place.
there was the complimentary correspon-
dence of J. Tom Heflin and r. Pearson
Hobson in regard to the challenge of the
former and refusal of the latter to de-
bate that all-enthralling topic of
woman's suffrage. And last, but not
least in Importance was the announce
ment of w. B. Oliver of Tuscaloosa for
the seat In congress which Hobson will
resign when he meets Senator Johnston
on the hustings.
In regard to the o'Neal-Long contro-
versy. 1t is reported on excellent au-
thority that the ennui of the participants
is second only to that of the common
people. 1t may be, therefore. considered
a closed Incident. But there will be an
other, and still another. chapter written

champion of the 'home and fireside" re-
late the sad denouement of the suf-
fragettes' inaugural parade in which Hob
son was a gallant leader, and dark
hued' patriots of various sexes boldly
tramped behind.
Hobson declined to meet Hefliin, 1t is
remembered on the ground of his claim
that the challenger was not candidate
for the Senate such as the challenged was
and on his secondary contention that the
question of suffrage was not and would
not be an issue in Alabama. Heflin, as
is remembered, replied that inasmuch as
Hobson stood for votes for women, and
inasmuch as there was a chance that he,
in case of his election to the Senate, would
endeavor to write female suffrage
clouse in the constitution, the question
was an issue-especially in Alabama. Thus
the first Chapter ended.

the political writer's have declared to be

kinsman.
Judge r. l.. Bradley of Lamar, and
John A. Rogers of Sumter have been
mentioned in connection with the Sixth
district race, but 1t is considered prob
able that neither will run. That the bulk
of the fight win be bourne by Oliver and
Bankhead seems certain, as certain as
the outcome is uncertain.
Banlxhead will make a clean sweep In
Walker, and Oliver. a clean sweep in
Tuscaloosa. They will leave their respec
tive counties, the largest in the district,
incidentally practically neck and neck.
Sumter, Greene and Fayette should be

At the weekly luncheon of the Ad club
at the Gold Lion tearoom annex Tuesday
at 1 o'clock. Prof. James S. Thomas of
the University of Alabama will deliver
an address ON "A New Sure Way to Make
Birmingham Grow" Professor Thomas is
a deep thinking man and the address is
expected to be of great interest President
Sparrow stated yesterday that any one in
terested would be welcome TO come and
hear the speech The luncheon to be
served will be a Dutch treat.
The luncheon Tuesday is very important
to the members of the Ad club stated
President Sparrow, as a campaign for
ticket selling for the combined carnival
of the club and the Shriners this week at
East End park will be started. The carni-
val of the Ad club and the Shriners, which
is to begin tomorrow and last through
out potlatch week, is expected to draw
big crowds, and both clubs plan to work
all week selling tickets.
Besides this there will be a general
line up for Baltimore Tuesday, said Mr..
Sparrow. The Ad club is planning to
send many delegates to the National Ad
Mems convention.

There will probably be no other ean-
didates, and the race promises to be
close and exciting. Both men are pop
ular and both have large personal fol-
lowings. The campaign will be devoid
of the sensational because both candi-
dates will refrain from personalities.
There will be hard fighting, however,
all down the line, because both are men
of vigor as we'll as valor.
The ghost of Hobson will ride like Tam
O. O'Shanter-to the very end. As matter
of fact, unless the eradication of Sum-
ter county ticks forges to the front as
the vital issue. Hobson, himself. may be
the issue. The ardent and enthusiastic
followers of Hobson, unless they have
been partially weaned as a result of the
gallant captains female suffrage tenden-
ces, will not be enthusiastic in their
support of BankheadAand may not rush
madly to the support of Oliver, for Oil

other offender in this respect. Its

The English sedge warbler goes IL
better. Not only is it an accomplished
ventriloquist, but it will mimic or paro-
dy the song of other birds. In a lesser
degree the robin and the crow pos
sess these powers. and foreign doves
come under the same category.
In Brazil the bell bird is exception

We PeriIous Feat Of Laughing and

There was a church celebration Of q
rather exciting nature many years ago
in Lynn. Mass. The occurrences mark
ing the dedication Of the Old Tunnel

by an eyewitness and quoted in Oba-
diah Oldpath's Lin" After the for
NAL ceremony Of Dedication IL feast was
held.
Ye dinner was in We create barne of
Mr.. Hood. While we We're at table a

noise it flew to ye ground as if in dis

Mr.. Gerrish was in a merrie mood.
Not having his thots about him, he en-
deavored We dangerous performance
of gaping and laughing at We same

in such a wise that it was beyond his

Mllady's
Mirror
After a Day In tho Open.

After a blowy, dusty jaunt outdoors
it is necessary to remove whatever
CRIME the skin may have collected, but
If a good face bath with hot water and
soap is taken at night, as it should be,
this temporary scrub can be done with
cold cream. Pick up a good dab Of
the cream with the fingers Of the right
hand, smear those Of the left and work
the unguent into the skin with both
hands, going round and round over
each spot with the finger tips.
After the skin has absorbed as much
of the cream as it will, wipe it as dry
as possible with a clean cloth and then
go over it with another rag dipped in
some good toilet water made hot. Rose
water, violet or lavender will do, but
the heat is required for a good effect,
the warm perfume acting as an astrin-
gent.
When washing the face during the
day in this manner the throat should
also receive the same treatment so as
to keep it's condition up to that of the
face.
But If the skin does not respond we'll
to the cleansing with cream a tea
spoonful of the following lotion might
be used in a small quantity of clear
warm water:
Tincture of benZoin................ 1 ounce
Tincture of 2 Trans

mingle with the perfume water. If
only Il small quantity of the lotion is
needed have it put up by Il druggist. as
in this way the proportions are certain
to be measured correctly.
This lotion is cooling and refreshing
to the skin. a%stringent, bleaching and
s%oftening. and if the t~easpoonful is put
in only Il cupful of warm water it will
have a better effect than if a larger
quantity of water We're used.
The effect of massage upon the face
skin is magical. If the massage is
done at home care should be taken not
to drag down the muscles of the cheeks
or to work the throat in such q way
that the skin will be loosened too much
under the chin. The movements need
ed are very simple. The tips of the
fingers of both hands are put at the
center of the forehead first and work
ed round and round. They. are then
run toward the temples in the same
manner
The cheeks are massaged upward,
the throat away from the center to-
/ ward the ears, and after the rite is ovcr
a cold spray and a rub off with cold
water and benZoin are needed for
astrinGent purposes, as. together With
the unguent required with such manfp-
ulation. massage is loosening to the
skin.
