WITHIN HER RIGHTS.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young lady,
whom have never had the pleas
ure OF seeing in her own home,
as her mother is opposed to me.
I have known her now for more
than IS months. She is IS. I am
21. She is willing to marry me,
only she is afraid of her folks,
inasmuch as her mother threat
ems to have me arrested If I mar
ry her daughter I have tried
every way to win her mother
over, but so far have failed. I
can't meet her, as her mother
watches her like a cat watches a
mouse. D. ID. w.
The mother is wholly within he
rights. and as the first and last de-
sire of every mothers heart is fo
her daughters happiness. constdera
ton is due her wishes.
If all were favorable, you Shout,
not marry being only q. Max,
the most Of the assurance that YOU
love each other, and wait a year oi
two.

anticipatory triumph as he made sure
that the whole length of the corridor

plainly visible to one sitting thus.

Mr.. Browns Future

The information from Mexico City
that E. N. Brown will continue as
president of the National railways
will be gratifying to his friends in
Birmingham and in Alabama gener-
ally. His resignation was announced
some time ago, but has now been with
drawn.
Mr.. Brown had decided to leave the
services of the Mexican National rail-
ways because he felt that he was
hampered by official interference. His
agreement to resume the presidency
is taken to indicate that in the future
he will have free hand. The finances
of the railways seem to be in good
condition, and the management is
confident that an era of prosperity is
at hand. T
Though for many years resident
of Mexico, Mr.. Brown is an Alabam-
ian. He is graduate of Auburn, and
has close relatives in Birmingham,
whom he has often visited in the past.

CONCERNING BREAKFASTS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The London Lancet in it's general ad-
visory capacity has something official to
say on the subject of breakfasts.
The Lancet divides the meal into two
general classes with no subdivisions.
First, there is the breakfast for brain
workers. That's simple. Second, there is
the manual workers breakfast. That's
substantial
According to the Lancet, after a night's s
sleep bodily strength. both nervous and
muscular, is at it's height and work can
be carried on without food.''
That eminent dietetic authority. John l..
Sullivan. doesn't quite agree with this.
John argues that torpid stomach is no
place to put food, but after you have
chased around awhile and started your
blood with little lively exercise, you can
step in and thoroughly enjoy good
br eakfast.
So here's the Lancet menu:
Breakfast for brain workers, coffee and
rolls.
Breakfast for manual laborers, ham and
eggs and toast and coffee and anything
else that's substantial and satisfying.
There you are-and the cook in the brain
working family should have all the best
of it. But does she?

Protecting Migratory Birds

The section of the constitution Oh
the United States giving the federal
government control of traffic between
the states is given new twist. Presl-
dent Wilson has approved the reguia-
tions prepared by the department oil
agriculture for the protection of
migratory game and insectivorous
birds. The regulations have been pre-
pared in conformity with the act OF
Congress passed March A last.
The country has been divided into
two zones, north and south, and the
open season in which game birds can
be legally killed has been greatly re-
duced. Insectivorous birds are given
protection for the year round.
John H. Wallace, commissioner of
the Alabama game and fish depart
ment, has been notified of the new
regulations as approved by President
Wilson, and he will give his hearty
cooperation in their enforcement. Mr..
Wallace says the federal migratory
bird law was passed after an agita-
ton of Is years, and should prove ef-
fective in making uniform provision
against useless slaughter of the feath-
cry tribe.
1t is doubtful that the trainers of
the constitution ever thought that it
would be used to protect a bird which
in the course of it's life fits across a
state line. Yet the legality of the new
regulations is hardly to be doubted.

MYSTERY OF THE SEA

From the Mail and Empire.
The most curious of all sea stories,
| in fact, one of the most amazing mysteries
in history, is that of the ship Marie Ce-
leste, which sailed some years ago from
sons on board, including the captains
wife and little daughter
Just when the ship was beginning to
be regarded as missing it was found 100
miles west of Gibraltar. The sea was as
| calm as a mill pond. Every sail was set,
but there was not a living person on
board. 1t was found TO be perfectly water
tight and with ample stores The log
showed that it had met excellent weather
all the way across.
In the cabin a half finished meal was
on the table, with the chairs slightly
pushed back. The captain had evidently
Just knocked the top off a boiled egg
when he suddenly left the room forever
A nightgown for the little girl was on
the sewing machine, with the sleeve half
sewn. The crews quarters showed no
sign of struggle, either, only of de-
parture so swift that everybody had left
| the ship in the clothes he stood up in.
| The problem has been the talk of deep
| sea sailors ever since What possible sit
| uation or incident could have made those
on board the Marie Celeste leave 1t so
suddenly? And how did they leave at
all? For all the boats were still on board
The captains watch was still ticking
just above his bunk, so that the tragedy,
whatever it was must have hapepned just
| before the ship was found.
| Piracy cannot be the explanation, for
the ships money box was found to be un-
! touched, as we'll as the valuable cargo,
| jewelry and loose cash, which were lying
about. There was no starvation. There
cannot have been any mysterious in
fectious disease, for the medicine chest
had been hardly touched at all. Besides,
| the cabin tables showed that all the dis
appearances must have been simultan-
eous.
| The idea that some of the crew deyel-
oped homicidal mania and hurled the 9TH
ers overheard and then committed suicide
is also out of the question, for there were
no signs of violence anywhere. The ship,
too, was as tight as a barrel when found.
and with not rope out of place.
| At first 1t was rumored that blood had
been found on the ships side and on the
captains cutlass BY why anyone who
used a cutlass should hang 1t up again
neatly on it's nail was not explained. And
scientific evidence proved the stains to

Three Important Meetings

Within the next few weeks three
Important meetings will be held in
Alabama, and each of them should be,
and doubtless will be, well attended.
The first of these events will be the
Southern Commercial congress at Mo-
bile, October 27-29. The second will
be the Alabama Land congress in Bir-
mingham, November 4-6. The third
will be the meeting of the Alabama
Good Roads association, which will
take place in Mobile November 20-22.
The Southern Commercial congress
is well established institution. AS
Managing Director Clarence J. Owens
explained in his speech at the Cham
ber of Commerce Tuesday night,
southern comm6cial congress was or
ganized long before the war; Meetings
were held from time to time, and much
interest was aroused touching south
ern resources. The last meeting be-
fore the war was held in Atlanta.
A new Southern Commercial con-
gress along the lines of the old or
ganization was brought into being
five years ago, and it is needless to
say that it is of far wider import than
the ante-bellum organization, as i'm
portant as the older body was in it's
day. The fifth annual convention of
the present Southern Commercial
congress will have direct bearing on
the Panama canal in its relation to
southern commerce. President Wood
row Wilson will attend and many 9TH
er notable men will make addresses on
that occasion.
The Alabama Land congress which
meets here shortly after the conven-
tion of the Southern Commercial con-
gress at Mobile, promises to be large
ly attended. In this Birmingham meet
ing the railroads are taking especial
interest, and addresses by railroad
presidents and other men of construc-
tive minds will be heard here. Oscar
w. Underwood will be one of the
speakers. The land congress was or
ganized year ago at Mobile. Some
thing of this sort has long been need
ed. No state in the south is quite so
rich as Alabama in natural re-
sources-mineral and agricultural.
Within the past few years home seek
ers have come into the state and set
tied by the hundreds; but there are
thousands of acres yet untitled, and a
large movement for the building up
Of this state agriculturally and in 9TH
er ways, is now in sight. The land
congress will be held annually. The
next Alabama meeting will probably
take place in Montgomery. Within the
next three or four years great practi-
cal results will be seen.
Good roads agitation was started in
this state about 10 years ago; but only
