Say, put did you take trip around town with the Bradley movie man this week? If you say no then get dime from some where if you have to borrow or steal 1t and trot down to the theatre afternoon or evening and see how natural the old town looks on canvas. And perhaps you may see yourself if you happened to get in focus and if you do you'll say, "l re- member being right there'i just as if wasn't really you but dummy worked in while you were hard at 1t getting bread ard butter for the family, if you didn't tell him. But that's what they are all doing an q 1t gets a good laugh when some one around you suddenly jumps up and says. "There I am. that's mel. And there are one or two characters that everyone recognizes that makes it most as good as seeing ones self

The speed stops and out they come, girls and boys, a few modest ones covering their faces with their parasols but most of them are only too anxious to get good pie tufe and 1t is easy to discern the self
 conscious attitude as each hears the machine. Jerry Lsbby steps out into view and falls in line just as though he had .come out from a hard days work. That brings the picture to quick ending and il jumps to the front of Diamonds store. Here Diamond and evidently intends to go in for comedy parts. He gets in a bit of re- | hearsal while the customers pour | through the doors.

SENATORS DISCUSS
ELECTION METHOD
TangIe Over Seating of Clayton
Leads to Consideration of
Another Plan.

Complications in the case of Con-
gresham Clayton. appointed Senator
from Alabama, have led the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
to consider a favorable report on a bill
providing for the holding of Senatorial
elections in the States under Federal
control until such time as the legisIa-
lures are enabled to meet and make
provision for elections under State con-
troll.
A subcommittee headed by Senator
Walsh is considering a measure of this
kind. Senator PoindeXter introduced
one some days ago.
If such Federal legislation existed.
such a situation as the one in the Clay
ton case would be impossible. The leg
islatures have been slow to act and
many Senators think the need of provi-
sion for Senatorial elections should be
ment
Hearings on the Clayton case will be-
gin Wednesday night before the privi-
leges and elections committee. A num-
Der of Democratic Senators are working
10 get the credentials of Clayton forced
through the Senate, but the opposition.
even among the Democrats, especially
among the ablest lawyers of the Demo-
cratic side, is so strong that they are
not likely to succeed. Back of Clayton
il former Senator Joseph w. Bailey,
a close friend of Clayton and his ad-
wiser in this juncture. Reactionary po-
bama are doing their utmost to get
Clayton seated in order TO handicap
Hobson in the Senatorial contest in

the black body Of her car. So she had
the figures also enameled white. The
first time the car was driven out. a
policeman, not versed in color COM
binationa, halted the car.
But the maroon figures made an
impossible color combination with the
black body of my car" Mrs. Settle
explained to the officer. The bluecoat
agreed, but told Mrs. Settle she would
have to explain her ideas of color
harmony to the judge. The law re-
