AFTER eastman LAW.

st. Paul, Feb. 16.-Attorney Cen
eral Smith today received notice of an
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States from the decision of the
u. S. district court in the suit brought
by the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern

ing that the rates fixed by the conn
mission were confscatory and asked
for an injunction against the attorney
general to restrain him from enforcing
the law. This was denied by the court
which held that the rates were not
confscatory. The eastman law will
now be tested before the highest court

ANOTHER ZEPPELIN FAILS TO
DAMAGE ANTWERP
Antwerp, Sept. 5.-Another aerial
raid by Zeppelin was attempted, but
it was unprOductive of any serious
damage within the city. The forts
and the rifiemen especially selected
for that work drove the dirigibIe off.
The Germans attempted to surprise
the forts by swinging around the city
far beyond the limits and then drift
ing down the wind from the direc-.
ton of the Scheldt river, in order
that the noise of their propellers
might not be heard.
The ruse, however, did not prove
successful. The watchers at one of
the outlying forts saw the great
shape for up in the air. Without. a
seconds delay the guhs were turned
loose. At the same time the ri1emen
began a constant fire, the bullets
from their repeating rifles making a
picket fence of steel almost a mile
high. The big diTigible, apparently
realizing that only speed could save
it, started full speed toward the big
wireless station, the object Of
Wednesday mornings attack. But
long before it reached the. scene the
fire from the lightweight automatic
guns in the cathedral spire and those
placed on the roofs of the city hall
caused the Zeppelin to swerve and
to point higher into the air. When
it reached a height at which it could
hardly be followed from the ground
it turned and swept off across the.
forts in the direction of the German
camp.

says a Ventura, Cal. special to the New

as a great killer of bears. During his

LIFE SAVING SUITS
FOR SEA DISASTERS

Garments waterproofed and lined
with wool which are to be attached to
life preservers ready for instant use
are advocated for use in northern lati-s
tudes by the New York Medical Jour
nal. The editor comments on the re-
cent disaster which overlook the EN-
press of Ireland and says that in
such accidents the victims, although
prevented from drowning by the life
preservers, died because of exposure to
the extreme cold of the water. The
excessive elimination of heat from the
system of the person floating at the
mercy of wind and wave reduces the
activity of vital processes. and stops
them altogether.
This indicates" he says. that the
ordinary life preserver is totally made
quate in northern ATTITUDES to save life
unless the exposed individual is soon
removed from the very cold water in
which his body is steadily losing its
vital heat, as this form of energy
might well be termed. To avoid this,
besides being constructed SO as to pre-
vent drowning, the life preserver
should form part of a hooded gar
ment covering all but the face and
fasten tightly about the chin
while impermeable to water, If it
be oil skin. for instance this garment
would be thickly lined with wool to
prevent heat elimination. Readily
slipped ON like a uniou suit. it would
eliminate the danger of death from ex-
posure."
The editor mentions as a striking
feature of the Titanic disaster that
nearly oil the 1900 victims, though kept
from drowning by life preservers, died
of exposure. In the case of the EN-
press Of Ireland many Of the deaths
were due to the same cause.

TEA HARVEST is NOW ON
Shortage Here Causes Advance in

The stringency in the supply of teas in

Japanese market, where new crop teas
came on the market last week, says

Spirited bidding by representatives, of
New York importers was a feature of the

In the New York market arrgregating IS
much as 1000 packages since the furry

tS4X&J For more than three years the
EnsIey people have been working towards
developing their beautiful natural park in
to a center of pleasure and culture, where
benefits may be derived that will be help
full through life.
Some time ago the park was bought
for the city. Mr.. James Weatherly. as
park commissioner, was consulted on the
subject and with the cooperation Of Com
missioners Lane and Exum the purchase
was agreed upon.
Ensley park is tract Of 40 acres OF
natural beauty, the third largest park in
Birmingham district. The two larger
parks have not opened Fairgrounds,
thereby giving Ensley the largest play
ground in the city.
About two years ago a park commit
tee, composed of DR.. Averyt. Mr.. c. G.
Burke and others built the pavilion, band
band stand, wading pool and seats. and
employed warden for the park. When a
committee, Mrs. J. d. Matlock, Mrs. w. 8.
Phillips and Mrs. Averse, approached MI
Weatherly on the subject of Fairgrounds
he suggested that they organize play
ground association, and agreed to give
a 50-acre tract and a supervisor for
playground if the citizens of Ensley would
raise enough money to equip the grounds.
This was easy to do, as the people were
already in favor of it, and as usual re-
sponded generously
The playground association, composed
of Mr.. James A. Dupuy, president; Mr..
Roy Dimmitt, secretary and treasurer;
Mr.. d. l.. Sugg. Mrs. J. D. Matlock. Mrs.
Averyt, Mrs. C. c. Burke, Mrs. w. S.
Phillips and Mr. W. II. Stewart, have
gone to work in earnest and are putting
forth every effort to make our ground
second to none in the city.
The T.. c. l. is donating six sets of
swings and two giant strides, which will
be installed within the next few days.
So you see the Ensley playground Is truly
a home grown" product as all the
workers are Ensley people and all the
equipment is either made In Ensley or
purchased here-this carrying into effect
our slogan-'Trade in Birmingham" The
T. c. I. band has been giving concerts
in the park for severaf seasons and have
promised to keep them up. These con-
cert are well attended and enjoyed by
appreciative audiences.
Mr.. d. F. Sugg is starting campaign
for the purpose of raising $1,000 with which
to erect modern, thoroughly equipped
swimming pool.
We are anxiously awaiting the drinking
fountain which the ladses of the w. c. T.
u. have worked faithfully to give us,
and have pledged themselves to furnish
ice water during the hot season.

from loafing in pool rooms and, In my
opinion there is nothing that equals
the playground for controlling and train
ing children. I want to see Ensley equal
and surpass our leading cities in this
work, as it does In other things. not only
in wealth, but In all things pertaining
to good. We are to be congratulated
on having Mr.. Nespor, who is lending his
valuable aid In working out every detail
and on our corps of volunteer workers
who are doing such good work.
