to find him injecting medicine into her
arm.

the witness said, Mrs. Eaton received
much mail postmarked Chicago.

At WORK ON PLANS
FOR EXPOSITION
Amusements to Be Feature
of 'Home Products Expo
sitiOn" of the AID Club

The amusement features of the forth
coming Home Products Exposition" are
TO be on an elaborate scale, 1t was an
nounced last night. Something like s70O
is to be expended ON these features. sgd
ney Lazarus is acting chairman of the
amusement committee during the ab-
sence from the city of John Henley. His
report to the Ad club, at it's luncheon
yesterday, showed that in addition to the
working model of the Panama canal.
there will be a brass band and a diff
ferent form of entertainment for each
afternoon and night.
One of the novel amusement features
is to be the distribution of a pamphlet
telling the story of a Birmingham man
who arose from his downy couch and
proceeded to his breakfast where he had
=. A blank space will be left at'the end OF
every place he visits or everything he does
during the day and the idea is to fill these
spaces in with some Birmingham product
that he can use In his many. situations
A prize will be awarded to the person who
fills the largest number of blanks. There
will be other unique forms of contests
and prizes will be distributed.
1t is the intention of the Ad club of.
ficials to try to get Oscar w. Under
wood to deliver an address on home
products before the exposition one night
during the time 1t is open.
It is said that $4,000 tickets Of admis-
sion have been printed and these are
to be distributed among the exhibitors
Each members of the Alabama Land con-
gress will be presented with ticket. The
tickets remaining will be sold to the pub
lie, the price being 10 cents.
President Sparrow stated last night that
the object of the exposition was not to
advertise any particular firm or company
There is no advertising scheme con-
cealed in this movement" said he, The
plan Is to bring the manufacturers OF
Birmingham and the citizens of Birming-
ham into a closer relation with each
other. The Ad club is not going to make
cent of money out of 1t and the mem-
bers gladly and willingly give their work
and will be satisfied if 1t succeeds in
doing something useful for Birmingham
The space sold will 1t is figured, be
just enough to meet all the expenses,
and we ask for no compensation"
