Panama Address
a Literary Treat

The paper which was read last
night by Z. d. Vanderlieth at tbs
weekly session of the Leisure Hour
club was a distinctive literary treat.
and the slides that were exhibited 10
punctuate the address were both in
structive and artistic. Mr.. Wander
lleth's topic was the Panama canal
AMI the approaching Panama expo
sition at San Francisco.
1t is more than likely that the av-
erage mind has had but a faint con-
ceptlOn OF the greatness of the Pan
anna work, and but few realize the
enormity OF the task which San Fran
cisco and California have taken on
themselves in preparing for and bring
ing to a successful conclusion the
coming exposition. But these were
fully demonstrated last night by both
Mr.. Vanderlieth's talk and by the
stereopticon views which he present
ed. A repetition of the affair would
undoubtedly bring out a larger crowd
than was present last night. Merit
at least should justify it.

Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birminghma, May CO p. m.)-The
high pressure area that has occupied the
eastern coast for the past several days
has moved int othe Atlantic ocean, and
the '1ow' that has remained central over
the western portion of the central basin
during that time has moved eastward and
now overlies the north Atlantic slope.
This barometric change has caused a
general change to unsettled weather over
the eastern states, and light rains in the
upper Mississippi valley and the lake re-
gon. Temperatures in the great central
basin and the eastern states generally
have fallen from to Is degrees because
of the increasing pressures and northerly
winds, which have preceded the high,
now over the northern plains states and
upper Mississippi valley. West of the
Mississippi river the weather has been
fair and the temperatures moderate.
In the cotton states thunder showers
have occurred in Louisiana and the gulf
coasts of Texas and Mississiuui Cloudy
skies have continued in interior sections
Temperatures have fallen slightly over
the belt generally.

HONEST CHILLY"

Montgomery, May 6.-(Special)-It is
not often that w. F. Feagin, chief clerk
in the state department of education,
finds himself confronted with situation
that he cannot handle. Perplexing prob
lens are matters of daily routine with
Billy Feagin. He has questions put
to him covering every phase of human
knowledge-from the casual query con-
cernins the disappearance of a household
cat to dissertations on the fifth dimen-
sion. Usually Billy Feagn finds a way
out of his difficulties, but the queerest
and most puzzling situation that has ever
confronted the indomtable chief clerk
of the education department developed a
few weeks ago.
A friend of his-and Mr.. Feagin num-
bers his friends by the thousands-wrote
to him and asked for a certain book that
is published for the department. The
price of the book is 81, and bright new
bill of that denomination was enclosed
in the letter. The name of Mr.. Feagin'
correspondent was Miss Lucille Davis,
who inadvertently neglected to give her
address. OF course, the postoffice ad-
dress of Miss Davis was on the envelope,
but the envelope became lost in the mass
of waste paper in the office. Now, Mr..
Feagin wants toe know whether Miss
Lucille Davis lives in north Alabama,
south Alabama, or in the middle section
of the state. He also wants to send MISS
Davis her book. He has the dollar she
remitted and says he has been waiting
to receive second letter from her.
Billy Feagin knows as many people
probably as any man in the state. 1t is
his business to know them, and he knows
Miss Davis, he declares, but somehow
the address of the young lady has slipped
from his memory. The joke is on Billy.
