the powers will make no attempt to
mediate. The official gazette of Bel

Military news was lacking today.
Servian dispatches admit q strong
Bulgarian column has invaded Servia
at Konagevatz, which town they oc-
cupied after setting fire to the ada
cent villages. Cholera has been
brought to Belgrade by the wounded.
Official Greek dispatches claim u
great victory at Doiran, where the
Bulgarians, recently reinforced, were
in superior strength to the Greeks.
The latter assert that a whole division
of Bulgarians fled in such confusion
that they even left behind loaded
guns. This victory is considered of
great importance because Doiran was
the Bulgarian victualling centre ard
all the provisions fell into the hands
Of the Greeks.
1t Is reported from Sofia that the
Tenth Bulgarian division, which re-
inforced Gen. InvanOff, was brought
from the Tchatalja district. This
would indicate compliance with Tur-
keys demand that the Bulgarians
evacuate Turkish territory.
The Bulgarians are taking the Of
fensive against Nish. according to an
nouncement from Sofia.
The Turkish government today de-
cided To occupy with armed forces all
the territory within the Enos-M Midia

tually decided upon as the future

A Sofia dispatch to a London news
agency says heavy fighting occurred
Monday, the Bulgarians attacking the
Servian centre at Kotchana.
The Servians were repulsed with
very severe losses.
The Bucharest correspondent of the
Mail says a member of the govern
ment Is authority for the statement
that war between Bulgaria and Rou-
mania Is inevitable. The Posts Bu-
charest correspondent, reporting that
the mobilization of the Roumanian
army will be completed Wednesday
and that few days more will be re-
quired to get the army in motion on
the frontier. intimates that Roumania
intends to fight in order to prevent
Bulgaria from crushing Servia and
Greece. and that the most intense
enthusiasm for the struggle is ap-

VOGUE OF THE BLOUSE
SEPARATE GARMENT is NOW
MORE THAN EVER POPULAR.
Increased Use Of Belt Largely Instru-
mental in Bringing This About
Charming Models In Crepe and
Chiffon and Taffeta.

The separate blouse has been grad
ually gaining favor for the past few
seasons, but this season, with the re-
newed vogue of the belt, the outlook
is even better than usual.
Our Illustration shows an admirable
evening blouse of chiffon. The blouse
is made of white chiffon yelling a
broad sash of delicate pink silk. Bands
of black chiffon edged with black
beads, are draped over the white chif-
fon bodice and sleeves. There is
corset belt of pale blue silk.
Some good blouse models of dressy
character made in a combination of
crepe and chiffon have the shoulder
and upper part of the bodice of the
chiffon, while the lower part of the
bodice and sleeves are of the crepe.
There are some charming blouse
models in taffeta of the soft supple
sort which have an original note in
the way of embroidery in color on
blouse front or yoke. One is an ex-
tremely attractive blouse of apple
green taffeta. The yoke has roses en-
broidered in color sprinkled over its
surface. There is an outstanding frill

THERE'S A TIME LIMIT
EVERY HOUR REDUCES OUR
CHANCES OF MAKING GOOD.
Il Is Like a Game, and Every Minute
Lowers Our Opportunity Of Roll
Ing Up a High Score Before
the Bell Rings.

In the game of making good there's
a time limit, the Business Philosopher
asserts.
When we were seventeen the future
to us was world unexplored, with
time unlimited.
But at thirty-seven to forty-seven
our perspective has changed.
We look into the future through
wiser eyes and are startled-time has
acquired boundary lines.
We look back at opportunities lost
at things done which we ought not
to have done-at things left undone
which we ought to have done-at long
hours and well meant labor which
proved profitless.
And 1t shows in our score.
We stand at the crest Of the hill
the game is half over-to win we must
capitalize the future with experience
gathered from the past.
But we cannot afford to put OF till
tomorrow.
We cannot afford to miss even one
opportunity.
There is a limit-a time limit-and
every day. every hour. every minute Is
reducing just that much our chance
of rolling up good score in the game
of making good.
We can't afford to go through the
year not knowing whether we are
winning, playing even or going be-
hind.
A year is 365 precious days-S,76o
hours-the best days and hours of our
life-and we can't coax them back.
If we are losing we want to know
today so that tomorrow we can
change the trump"
And next week we want to know
how much we profited by the change.
If we investigate we find that a
large percentage of all failures are
due, not to lack of ambition, ability
or hard luck. but rather to each mans
ignorance of the actual condition OF
his own particular business.
Further investigation convinces US
that the great majority of small re-
tailers are capable, hard working bus
iness men, working in the dark, wait
ing for the end of the year to find out
If their score has gone up or down IN
the game of making good.
But we find that the man who is
making "killing"-the man with the
best score-is the man who labors less
and thinks more. the man who system
atizes, who installs a proper account
ing system. the man who knows which
clerk deserves a raise and which
should be fired, who knows whiah lines
should be discontinued and which
pushed,
He is the man who knows this week
what he made last week.
He is managing.
We have the same opportunity.
What he is doing we can do; we
have the same ambition, ability and
energy.
But we must be up and doing; we've
reached the crest OF the hill, and
In the game of making good
There's a time limit.

JUDGE BRADLEY TO
RUN FOR TREASURER
Understood Prominent La
mar County Man Will
Not Run for Congress

Prominent visitors from the Sixth dis
trict yesterday brought the livest political
gossip that has been current in Birming-
ham in several weeks, that Judge r. L.
Bradley of Vernon, probate Judge of La
mar county. would. instead of running
for Congress, make an early announce
ment for state treasurer
Since w. B. Bankhead of Jasper and W.
B. Oliver of Tuscaloosa announced for
Congress to succeed r. p. Hobson, it is
known that certain efforts mad been made
to induce Judge Bradley to enter that
race, and for some time it was thought
probable that he would do so. The reports
yesterday were to the effect that it was
practical certainty at the present time
that he would leave the congressional field
open to Mr.. Bankhead and Mr.. Oliver and
enter the race for treasurer.
Up to the present. no formal announce
ment has been made fo~ state treasurer,
and when Judge Bradley enters the field
it is certainty that right off the reel
he will attract fine strength to his stand
ard. He is one of the best known men
of the state, and is verypopular in his dis
trict, where he has lived all his life.

NUMBEROF MATTERS
TO COME BEFORE THE
commission TODAY
Members Will Confer in Re-
gard to Ordinances This
Morning and Act This
Afternoon

One of the most important meetings
of the city commission Is scheduled for
this afternon at o'clock. BY spe-
cial arrangements. the commissioners
have an engagement to meet with each
other in a. conference at 10 o'clock TINS
morning on the several matters that
have been pending before them for sew
eral weeks. and which have been de-
layed from time to time on account
of the inability of the three comis-
sioners TO get together in confer
ence.
Besides these matters the Kelley pc
tition for an extension of 80 days viii
be acted upon. The commissioners
have agreed to confer at 10 o'clock
this morning on the traffic ordinance,
the Dewberry petition for franchise
for an electric light plant, the appoint
ment of smoke inspectors, the soda
fountain ordinance, probably the tag
day ordinance, and others. Then when
the meeting convenes this afternoon,
each will be called up and acted upon.
Indications are, however. that final ac-
tion will not be taken on the milk and
meat ordinance, and probably one or
two others.
Little of any importance was done
at the commission meeting yesterday
afternoon. A considerable number OF
vouchers were passed upon, several
improvement ordinances passed, num-
ber of city Improvement bonds re-
deemed and burned, petition received
for fhe paving of Twenty fifth street

BOULEVARD MAY CONNECT
BIRMINGHAM AND MONTGOMERY
Several Montgomery Citizens Offer Contribute Funds to
Highway Principal Stretch Needing Attention in Chill

Birmingham People Interested in Project

Montgomery, July s-(Speeial.)-Pub-
licity given the Montgomery Birmingham
road by State Engineer ". s. Keller in
his recent tours of Alabama for the pur-
pose of making a preliminary survey
for system of trunk highways leading
through the state. has caused several
citizens of Montgomery to offer to con-
tribute sums of money TO aid in the con-
struction of fine boulevard connecting
the two cities.
The present road between Montgomery
and Birmingham is in some respects very
inferior to some roads of equal distance
connecting cities in north Alabama with
Birmingham, and movement has been
begun looking to the construction of a
fine highway between the Capital City and
the north Alabama metropolis. The prin-
cipal stretch of road between Montgom.
cry and Birmingham, which needs atten-
ton, is found in Chiffon and Shelby coun-
ties particularly in the latter county
and when this highway has been inn
