The imperial army of Germany is important German states The armies of the smaller states have been amalga- mated with the army of Prussia. The armies of Bavaria, Saxony and wurt- temburg are independent Writing from Berlin, Vice Consul General Poole says "The Bavarian army has its own pow der and other factories at Ingolstadt and Ebenhausen: the Saxon. at Dresden. and that of Wurttemburg at Ludwigs burg. while there Is naturally close CO., operation between these four adminis trations purveyours of supplies have to deal separately with the purchasing de- partments at Berlin, Munich, Dresden and Stuttgart. The Prussian govern ment has powder factories at Spandau near Berlin and Hanau near Frankfort other explosives. but purchases those necessary for filling shells, mines and torpedoes and for the demolition outfits
 
 of the cavalry and pioneers from private industry. It also purchases powder from private sources when its own output does not suffice. In purchasing ex- plosives and materials for the manu- facture of powder from private in- dustry the government calls for bids but the lowest bid is not always con sidered the best. The capacity and stan dard of the firms are taken in consid- eration, the right being reserved to select any one of the three lowest bids. It appears highly improbable that pur- chases would be made from foreign firms. Nitrocellulos is now used only for der. The government powder factories It Is understood, make their own nitro cellulose. Private factories also manu- facture it. One of the principal pro- ducers Is Wolff 6 Co. of Walsrode Nitrocellulose Is said 10 be no longer used as an explosive in shells. Shells now filled with it. as fast as discharged, are reilled with trotyl. Trotyl is un- derstood to be the only explosive used at present by the army or navy"
 
 According to the medical authorities of Blair county, Pennsylvania, it is now possible to bring a dwarf or midget to normal size. Julian Schroeder, a 7-year- old boy of Hallidaysburg, Pa, who showed arrested growth due to what is knowned as cretinism, was taken in charge by physicians who prescribed thyroid glands of lambs and sheep. Un- der this treatment Master Schroeder's arms and legs are beginning to length en. When treatment was first begun the boy was dull and stupid his mental condition bordering on idiocy pr. S. C. Smith, physician of Altoona, declares that the boy has now become as bright, intelligent and active as any child that ever lived" By continuing the use of the child will grow to mans stature and have all his faculties. Systems have been devised, most of them mechanical, for increasing the height of persons slightly below normal, but the predic- tion is now being made that future generations need have no dwarfs or H. the thyroid treatment.

The Ad CIub Presideucv

''The thought that the nomination of J. D. Rosenberger and myself as candidates for president of the Birmingham Ad club indicated a split in the club is erroneous" said John Sparrow last night. MT. Ro- senberger was not present at the primary at which the nominations were made Had he been present he would have de- clined because his activities in the Cham Der of Commerce. the Board of Trade and the Rotary club are absorbing all the time which he can spare from his busi- ness. MT. Rosenberger is growing fig ure in civic affairs and would unques- tionably have made a strong president
 T would not be sincere If I did not say I appreciate his withdrawal from the race, which virtually assures my re-elec- tion. I have always been proud of the Ad club and of the support which the membership has given me during the three years of it's existence. There are larger clubs in Birmingham, more enthu- siastic clubs, possibly-but none which has more clearly defined sphere of lise- fulness than the Birmingham Ad club

Enforce Concealed weapon orainanc.

T have been much interested of late in articles in The Age-Herald denounc- ing the pistol toting habit as a menace to public safety said E. S. Brown, pro- prietor of the Dixie Dairy lunchroom.
 Tt is my belief that there is no law on the statutes of Birmingham a strict enforcement of which would be calcu- lated to result more to the good of the community than that prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons The law should be enforced to the letter as well as observed in spirit
 "The police authorities of large north ern cities are very strict in this regard
 especially those of New York and Chica- go, and there Is a wholesome respect among the citiens of those cities for this law. In this connection the experience of a Chicago friend will serve to show the attitude of the courts of that city to the pistol toter.' It was late at night as my acquaintance was traversing one of the almost deserted streets of the Windy City. He saw two highwaymen emerge from a dark alley-way and pro- ceed to hold up two women. My friend had not become accustomed to observ- ing the concealed weapon ordinance. He therefore instantly drew his revolver and was fortunate enough to get the drop on the yegmen, who immediately beat nasty retreat. An approaching policeman however had observed the whole affair: and after futile effort to secure the criminals placed the rescu-
