FAMOUS PUBLISHER GETSAb|G SHOCK Auth0ress Declines Advance of Royalty on New Edition DOGS AND GOLDFISH Did Adam Write Pamphlet ?-Queer History of Grafter Who Flour
 ished in the Days of
 George 1
 
By HAYDEN CHURCH

London, June Especial. )-One or London's most famous publishers is suffering from heart failure this week He bought a novel sometime ago from a distinguished woman author and in due course published 1t and got sat isfaetory sales for 1t. He had paid such a huge advance on it, however, that he didn't make much money on it. Last week he proposed to the author to publish a cheap edition of the book, and named a goodly sum in advance of royalties on it. The author, who is a gentlewoman in the good old sense, wrote at once to say that she must decline to accept the advance he of fered, feeling that he had not made as much as he should out of the six shilling edition and that she would prefer him to publish the book with out paying her anything except such royalties as might come along in due course. l don't suppose anyone who knows anything of the publishing bus mess will believe this tale, but 1t is true. The publisher thinks of having the letter framed and hung where he can see it whenever he is tempted to gencralize about the greediness of au- tborS.

Won't Reproduce Portrait

Ever since a suffragette armed with meat chopper slashed the Sargent portrait of Henry James at the Royal Academy requests to reproduce the picture have been pouring in upon the famous American novelist from publi- cations all over the world. Up to date, he told me the other day, he has said No" to over 50, his reasons, he de- clared, being 'too numerous and com plicated' to give in detail. This now famous Sargent portrait. which is valued at S3500, is, of course, the property of James, having been pre- sented to him by some 200 of his ad- mirers
 James, by the way, who lived in the country for several years, now has re- turned to London, and has a flat in Carlyle Mansions, in Cheyne Walk, be- ing thus, by the bye, a near neigh bor of his fellow countryman, J. s. Sargent, who holds forth in Tite street. 1t was interesting, by the way, to dis cover that Henry James does not em- ploy "Jamesian" sentences 24 or 25 lines in length in ordinary converse ly and directly, with a slight huski- hess of the throat. however, that sug- gests that he is troubled with asthma.

MANY PROTEST ON
 TAR ON STREETS
Ewing Writes Letter to the COmmission-CrOssings
 Sprinkled With Sand

The hosts of complaints about the tar on city streets in the business section reached a climax yesterday when Robert w. Ewing. as president of the Board of Trade, invited the at the injurious effects being received by merchants. Sand. however, was sprinkled on the street crossings yes terday morning.
 In communication to the city com missioners MT. Ewing points out that the merchants have been troubled con siderably by the tar being tracked into stores while the garments of many ladies have been ruined by the excess sive tar accumulations when one walks on the street
 It is said that several very elegant rugs in some of the stores have been ruined by the tar being tracked upon them by shoppers. MT. Ewing suggests remedy in this note to the comms- sioners:
 Gentlemen: I am writing to call your
 attention to the very harmful effect of the tar on our streets this hot weather. ''The ladies are complaining very seri- ously about getting this all over their feet and our merchants are complaining be-
 cause it is being tracked into their stores and is otherwise objectionable.
 Tt occurred to me that you might rem
 edy the defect to a certain extent by sprinkling a light layer of sand over the ! streets and then have the sprinkler wagon follow along and sprinkle the sand so as
 to keep it from being too dusty. I think
 If this is done early in the morning, be- 1 fore [ o'clock, and then sprinkled that by night time, before they wash the
 streets it will have gotten ground in with the tar to such an extent it would
 keep the tar from being so sticky and
 at the same time not be dusty either. Trusting that this suggestion may meet With your approval or some other ant
 better remedy may be round, I am very sincerely yours R. w. EWING, President Board of Trade"

Ground will be broken next Satur- day afternoon for the new Central Park school. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by J. O. Clancy, chair man of the committee from the Central Park Civic league, which besieged the city commission until that body con sented and appropriated s15,0oo with which to build the school.
 Ignoring the impoverished condition of the city treasury, this small body of Central Park citizens vowed they must have school for the children and they started out after it. It has taken about IF months to turn the trick but it has been done. The first step will be taken in the construction next Saturday. There will be appropriate ceremonies in that connection. The citizens of Central Park feel that there is something to be proud of in this accomplishment and they in- tend to have several hundred friends to celebrate with them The city of Bir- mingham has been given deed to five acres of land at Central Park for the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-14

school. This is said to be the largest tract of ground ever given to any city in the south for the purpose of getting school building built upon it.
 Next Saturday a barbecue will be served by the Civic league of Central Park to appropriately mark this achievement. The city officials, mem- bers of the board of education and oth CT prominent citizens will take part in the exercises which will be held.
 The building plans have been drawn by David Oliver Whilldin, the we'll known school architect, and the plans have been approved by the officials. It will be of the standard brick type which has been approved and adopted by the city officials for school buildings. It will contain six standard school study rooms, capable of caring for about 30 pupils for each room. This building is to be one of the three units which is to compose the completed school struc- ture.
 The site comprising five acres has a beautiful grove of trees upoh 1t. It is on a knoll overlooking that section an/ with the acreage there is plenty of space for a great playbround scheme which will be eventually worked out.

WELLER INSISTS ON
 PUSHING PROJECTOF
 CANAL TO BESSEMER
Concluded from Page Five)


 if this canal were built it would be taxed to its capacity at the start as will be the Warrior when completed. But if we, as Senator Bankhead says, build a rail- road, do you suppose you are going to get the water rate? Not much. You will remain as you are. railroad transporta- tion town, subject to railroad rates, and that for all time.
 Now. what should be done, Is for the district to get together on this proposl- tion, show our representatives in Con- gress that we mean to have this canal: do like Houston did issue bonds of suf- ficient amount to cover at least half of the cost of the canal and you will see that the government will meet you more than half way, for they will not let you help, but build the canal themselves, for the government will want to own the canal All we need to do is to let the government know that we want the canal, propose to have it, and we will get 1t. The trouble is that we have not shown the government that we want the canal. Cicizens think of the possibilities of this water way to you and to the district in the future. Let us daily no longer with a question of so much importance. Let 1t be known that we don't want a rail- road to the Warrior but a canal. for to advocate a railroad will kill your canal for all time, and still leave you an inland town. Think what it will be to be able to say that this great district with its unlimited supply of raw materials, car ship the finished products of mines and factories by water to the Gulf of Mexico the Panama canal and thence to all parts of the world Then you will be able tC hold your own commercially in your eff. forts to secure trade with the Latin American countries south of HIS in com. petition with other countries who are bending every effort to get this trade, a trade which rightfully belongs to us. by reason of our geographical position.
 It is to be hoped that the men of in- fluence of this district will. before it if too late, get behind this canal proposf. tion and see 1t through to speedy com pletion. T. A. WELLER.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Why Henderson Was Elected

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Apropos of MT. Comers statement in yesterdays paper, 1t would be in or der for the people of the state to give some consideration to the reasons for his defeat-the real reasons.
 We common people are persuaded that 1t was not money, for we are of the opinion that both candidates were equally culpable. It was not the pro- hibition issue, for the temper of the state Is clearly dry" It was not the railroad issue, for we were with him on that.
 We don't think we elected Mir. Hen derson, either because of his personal popularity or his record

Facing Condition, Not Theory

But we are now facing conditions not theory and neither the city nor other gas company could procure gas from the
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany or any other source and pipe it into Birmingham, lay all the mains and neces- sary connections and distribute the gas advantageously within the next four or five years, and it would seem wise to take advantage of the saving offered in the proposed contract as above set out and to give the citizens and our city com
 missioners as well, the greater benefit of experience which they would require by using the by-product gas during the re-
 mainder of the agreement with the pres ent gas company, and then before the end of this six years, ample opportunity would
 be afforded to make thorough investi- gation as to the proability of municipal ownership, natural gas, by-product gas from other sources and all other ques. tions of which there are many to be considered between public service cor porations and the city government.
 'If anyone has any facts or statistics or information which will help me or our committee to compile data, which may be of service to our committee or the com missioners and aid in reaching any other conclusion or in substantiating the con cluson already reached to the end that
 we may get together thereon, I will cer- tainly appreciate any such help that may be given the committee or myself"

The Warmer Brassi@r@
Demonstrated in Conjunction With the Corsets

Why the Brassiere-the very low
top corset and the elimination Of the
corset cover have given the brassiere
a legitimate place in woman's ward
robe, for the majority of women-in
wear a brassiere with the very low
top corset-this is not only to con-
troll the bust. but to give the I'M
broken line from the shoulder over
the bust
The natural figure is fashions de-
cree. but the muscles at the base of
the bust should really be supported
this necessitates the combination
of corset and brassfere.
The average wOman's figure is
properly cared for in Warner
Brassiere. The young girl and the
very slender woman can find their
requirements in a Warner Brassiere.

The stout figure may wear as low
a bust corset as the slender-the
brassiere completing the corset The
dowager with the very full figure
can assume a fashionable contour
with a Warner Brassiere that she
never could with corset only or
corset cover.
Warner Brassiere for such fig
ures is boned diagona1ly under the
arms. with a slight V-shaped boning
either side of the center line.
There are very slender women
with almost girlish figures who
wear a Warner Brassiere and no
corset-the hose supporters being
attached to belt. These, however,
are greatly in minority; but we
point to them in order to emphasize
the fact that every brassiere need is
covered by Warmers.
