"CUPID" OUT-GENERALED
BY LONG-DISTANCE ONCE
Telephone Plays Important Part in Affair o the Heart
Day Is Saved When Parents Acknowledge
Defeat Even in Victory

This is a very simple story of the long
distance telephone by way of showing
that while love may laugh at locksmiths
1t can't afford to chortle at the hello
girl.
The central girl who runs the local line
that connects a pretty well known mer-
chant of this town with his home called
up the office of the merchant on urgent
orders from a feminine voice at the house
end of the phone.
WILL cried the voice over the wire
shrlly, "Genevieyes gone away. I can't
find any trace of her anywhere and she s
left a note on her bureau in the bedroom
saying she's eloped."
The man at the other end of the tele-
phone wire stopped and pondered Gene
We've, his daughter, had been threatening
that elopement with the chap he said
was too young to marry her for almost
six months back
He looked at the clock and saw that il
was 4:45 O'Clock in the afternoon and
ther he put his mouth to the transmitter
again and fired a half dozen quick ques-
tions at his overwrought wife at the Other
end.

HOSPITALS EASE PAIN OF
DISEASED AND AFFLICTED
Remarkable Health Statistics Are Due to Splendid Facilities OF
Sanitarums- s-Many Fine Private Institutions

Birmingham boosters ought to take as
the basis OF all their recommenda tons
the recent health statistics, that showed
the smallest death rate of any city in
the south for the past year.
There's not a doubt that the hospitals
and their splendid facilities for caring
for the sick and injured had much to dc
with it,, said a prominent physician in
discussing the report.
"They are fully abreast with the other
modern day achievements in arts and
sciences and the city is a password for
surgery over the state and a large por-
tion of the south, just as Rochester Is
through the middle west. In fact. it is
the southern center of medicine and its
numerous departments. No county can
boast of a larger medical society than
Jefferson, and it is to be doubted whether
any group of hospitals can claim for
their staffs a wider aportionment of skill
and education. The time is past when
people indulge in the extravaganza OF
going north or east for requisite advice
and treatment of serious maladies and
intricate operations"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

1t matters not what the condition, there
is a place for it, whether it be surgery,
medicine. obstetrics or what not, and
medical literature of the past few years
shows that some of the most skilled oper-
ations on the thyroid gland the arteries,
the liver, stomach and bones have been
local achievements.
Many Private Sanitariums
There are half dozen private institu-
tions, the McAdory, Robinson, South
Highlands and Birmingham intirmaries,
among them. st. Vincents hospital is
owned and controlled by the Sisters of
Charity. 1t is of 200 bed capacity and
has its own electrical and ice plant, laun-
dry, green houses and gardens. There
are wards for those who are able to pay
and an out patient department for free
treatment of specialties. 1t has its wards
which care for those not able to pay,
and especially arranged to the distinctive
needs of men. women and children. These
have large sun porches adjoining in an
effort to meet modernization at every
step There are private rooms, some of

a satchel mother knew that, excited as
she was, because one of the colored SER
wants had told her she had seen the girl
slip from tile house and trip down to the
corner of the street where an automobile
was waiting.
Father Got Very Busy
Then father, at his end of the tele-
phine. did some quick thinking. He might
have been very cautious and safe in his
investigation of the elopement. but in
stead he called to his aid the deductions
of real detective. He rang mother off
the phone and he called up instead the
business house wherein he knew Gene
Vieve's sweetheart worked. He asked for
him on the telephone; when he got the
expected word that he had not been there
for three hours and had gone away with
out giving any notice of his absence the
father turned to his telephone again.
This time he called up one by one the
automobile dealers who rent machines.
He had to call something like 15 before
he found the right one, but when he
found it the manager was quite sure that

chine for the afternoon and evening an

There is an out patient department for

The hospital has three major and two
minor operating rooms. Adjoining these

enormous expense. The hospital also has
a training school for nurses, one of the
most thorough in the south, and yearly
graduates from u to 20 young ladies.

The girl jumped up from the table and
ran TO her mothers arms sobbing wildly
and the young man squared off duttully
in front of the father. The mother be-
gan to weep coplously with her daughter.
The father of the girl who with the aid
of the telephone, had thus prevented the
marriage, stared at the young man who
had run off with his child.

Not a Real Arrest


1t wasn't a real arrest, of course, but
It was a good bluff and as both of them
were plainly guilty of elopement it
worked. There were profuse tears, of
course, but in the end the deputy sheriff
took the young man and the young wonl-
all over to his own home and while his
frau prepared luncheon for them the
deputy went out to a rear room and
called up the Birmingham father Of the
clipping girl on the long distance.

The fastest car of one of the fastest

them when the father and the mother

Defeat in Victory

Finally, to the accompaniment OF more
feminine weeping, in which the deputy
sheriff s wife had profusely joined, the
father turned to the deputy who was
making sneak from the room.
Say he said. you know a minister
in this town that can tie them two up
right away?"

dained Baptist right next door,

along with him to the machine clinched
the deduction
Thereupon father executed another tel
cphonic scoop. He had the automobile
garage man consult his machinist who
had stocked up the machine with fuel and
the machinst had been told by the young
man who hired the car that he wanted
il for a mighty fast. run between here
and the junction.
How far is that load of fuel good for,
asked father over the wire. And the au-
| tomobile man said back, about 40 miles,

Headed for Alfalfa
Well some 40 or 50 miles from this city
is Alfalfa, a railroad junction, where
three lines meet and where the pursuit
of eopers might easily be thrown off be-
cause if the man and the girl reached
that point ahead of their trailers they
could take either one of three trains
within half an hour and go in either one
of three directions.
The father of the runaway girl knew
| this vaguely, but he used the telephone
again TO call up the railroad offices and
| find out for sure. And then he sent a
| quick long distance call for Alfalfa hum
ming over the wire.
The call was to the deputy sheriff in
Alfalfa. The conversation ran something
| like this:
Hello. Alfalfa; yes-Tm Mr. --- I'm

| reach your station in an automobile with
! in 10 or 20 minutes She is clipping with

the necessary papers to prevent the mar
riage."
| Well, it happened that the long distance
| beat the automobile to Alfalfa an even
hour and as the blushing young woman
and her Lothario were descending from
the car the noble deputy sheriff stepped
out of the shadow of the station porch
and told them they We're both under ar
| rest.
