BILLIARDS FOR BOYS ".
AN OHIO SCHOOL PLAN

Schoolboys In Cleveland are rap:
idly becoming good billiard players
The Ohio city has established mu.
nicipal billiard-room. which is oper-
ated In connection with one Of tic
city's recreation grounds, and is %!
tho use of;thc public schnoihoys. The
official in charge of the Cleveland
Fairgrounds intends to study. closely
the present experiment, and IL II
proves successful TO extend the It'll
lizard service to all the schoolboys of
the city.
Educators in different parts o. the
country have advocated billiards a,
a pastimo for boys. and pointed 10
he billiard adjuncts to Young Mems
Christian Association building !,
But It remained for Cleveland t.
take the initiative with respect J
municipal billiards.
In this connection It is worthy OF
mention that doctors play billiards
probably more than any other class
of professional men. They approve
OF the game as a source OF pleasure
and healthful exercise. In an article
on Sport Hygieneic," recently cos,
tributed to the Petit Parisicn, DR..
Cabanes. an eminent French medical
authority. says:
billiards Is a salutary exercise,
approved aid counseled by all medi-
cal doctors. Owing to the varisI
movements, the agility aud supple
ness It entails. the game Is to be rec
commended. except that 1t is to BE
played only in a perfect atmosphere
and in addition that tie player is moi
hindcred by tight clothing. which.
obstrllct circulation. and digestion,
It stands to reason that sedentary
md weak and even old persons find
a benefit in this exercise, which az
sures moral health as well. as good
physical equilibrium"
So far the, experiment in Cieva-
land has been success, and Is 8
likely that the billiard plan will b.
greatly enlarged before long. Other
cities are interested in the expert:
ment and the Cleveland plan may BE-
adopted elsewhere.

 INSPECT BATTERIES
Major D0rrance Anxious to Have People Become Fa-
 miliar With Artillery

The European war has drawn atten-
 ton to the military equipment of the
 National Guard and the state of read
 mess of the United States army should
 some unforeseen complication embroil
 the United States in war with one of
 the powers
 The artillery of the United States
 army and the National Guard is identi-
 cal in equipment with the exception ot the six-inch siege guns. The field guns
 used in the army and the guard are patterned after the German Krupp
 guns and are of three-inch calibre These guns are very accurate and have Ia range of over four miles. They are fitted with panoramic and teIescopic sights.
 Birmingham has two batteries of ar tillery of the National Guard located at
 the temporary armory. 2212-1S Avenue
 B. The equipment is valued at s175,00c Some idea of the amount of material
 stored here by the United States gov ernment can be had from the follow ing: The two batteries are equipped with eight three-inch guns; each gun
 has a Timber and with caissons, ar- munition wagons and battery wagons. lfidke a lOIdl or oc pleCeS u taxes ZJ0 horses to move the entire equipment The harness, of which there are 115 sets, is valued at over $25,00 There are saddles for 230 horses. The saddles
 cost the government a little over y2e
 each. Each battery is supplied with
 tents and field equipment. field kitch- ens uniforms and side arms. The side
 arm of the artillery is the new auto matic Colt revolver of .3S-calibre ana is cof siderad the most affactiVe revOI- vcr now in use by any army.
 So few people realize the value of the equipment of the local artillery and the amount of work it takes to keep it in condition that Maj. L. S Dorrance. commanding the First bat talion field artillery, A. N. G., Is anx- ious for the public to inspect the equip ment that clearer idea may be had of the importance of this branch or the National Guard The armory is opeE from a. m. until D. m., and visitors fare welcome.

"One fault with our present mode of making laws" said MT. Judge, 4.is found in the fact that we attempt to do too much within the scope of 50 days. We act, as a matter of fact before mat ters of such grave importance as tax ation and judicial reform can receive the attention they deserve. am in favor of split sessions of the legislature. In the recesses, joint committees from the house ard senate. may make careful study of proposed legislation which has a tend ency in part to revolutionize customs and conditions.''
 MT. Judge is opposed to female suf- frage He is anxious that an efficient child labor law be enacted. He will vote to abolish the convict lease sys- tenn, and the fee system in every county of the state.
 In the house, four years ago, Mr. Judge proved to be an Industrious and valuable member. His friends contend that the experience he gained then will make him an exceedingly valuable sem ator. He has proved himself to be ag- gressiye and determined and unafraid to speak his mind. He has a great many friends. His father before him was dis tinguished in Alabama politics, and there is no reason why he should not be- His one most valuable attribute is his ability not to form friendships-but to retain them. For it is said that any man can make a friend

In the afternoon the spectacle was enjoyable, but at night when the full effect of the lights and costumes could be brought out. it was supreb
 The story in pantomime can be fol- lowed easily and the actions of the char acters are understandable. The costum- ing is magnificent and the effect when the ballet is in full swing is stunning The dancing and incidental music to the production were also very enjoyable.
 A typical circus crowd filled the big tent at both the afternoon and night performance. Everything to delight the
 heart of the small boy and to cause
 the blood to move faster in the veins
 of the older ones was there, There were
 beautiful riders, daring aerialists and gymnasts, strong men, host of funny clowns and thrilling races. One of the
 most enjoyable features of the perform ance was the work of the elephants and seals. The elephant tango was ludicrous
 and caused roars of laughter.
 A feature in which the Ringiings excel | is in the menagerie. Very few menage- ries ever brought to Birmingham sur passed the que here yesterday. All kinds of animals are shown while the herd of elephants is the largest possessed by any circus. The rhinocerous and hippopota mus had large crowds around their cages throughout the day. Some unusually fine Hons were also shown.
 Ringing Brothers circus has high reputation in Birmingham and the per formances yesterday were fully up tc the standard of previous offerings.

He will in- troduce a measure rectifying what is considered an error in the Smith local option bill, and will see to it that it is possible in the future for a county now ietailing liquor under license to vote un- Ger local option statutes for prohibition.
