Montgomery, April 23.-(Speciail The supreme court today granted the apr licatIon of the Montgomery Light and Traction oompany for writ of prohibition restfairiEg the Alabama Traction company from further efforts tp condemn for its owr purposes tracks of the former company along certain streets of thefcity. The decision in the case follows litigation that has con= tinued several days. having been first brought in the probate court of the county and later in the Montgomery city court.
 The Alabama Traction company first brought proceedings in the county probate court to condemn for it's own purposes the tracks of the Montgom- cry Light and Traction company on and along Montgomery street. across Court square, and along Dexter ave. nue as far as McDonough street.
 On petition of the Montgomery Light and Traction company the proceedings were removed from the probate court on the ground that that court had no jurisdictions in the case. An effort was later made to remove the case from the city court on the same grounds. but the application was repeatedly over- ruled by Judge Gaston Gunter of thA city court and an appeal was taken to the supreme court for a writ of prohibition. The writ was granted to day the opinion in the case having been written by Chief Justice John c. Anderson.

Caused by Postponement of Atlanta Sale of A., B. X A.-Will Prob
 ably Be Held Tuesday

The two sales are routine formalities in connection with the reorganization of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad and it's 'n; nation into the Georgia, Alabama and Western.

ANOTHER GOOD
 HITTER NEEDED,
 SAYS WOODWARD
From This It May Be h. ferred That the Local Is Angling for Another
 Player

All that we need now to make the Barons pennant contender" stated Rick Woodward yesterday afternoon. lis another good player. Each year we have increased the strength of the Barons after the season started by the acquisition of several new players. In 1910 we had Bert Maxwell, in 1911 Covaleski, in 1912 Almeida. while last year the Barons were made formidable by the purchase of Eddie, Mcdonald and Pete Knisely The team is sets ting slowly into shape and 1 expect that during the next few days the Barons will hit their true stride"
 From this it may be inferred that he local association is angling for the services of another high class player and if this is the case then local fans may rest assured that the Barons will be up in the fight for the pennant this year.
 The Barons will endeavor to separ- ate another victory from the Billikens this afternoon and climb up toward the .500 mark. Moley has not an nounced who he will send to the mound but his choice will likely be either Harben or Curley Brown.

 ZUEBLIN LECTURES ON WALT WHITMAN
His Evening Topic Is Education for Freedom Comforts Null
 tiplied Beyond Early Dreams

Charles Zuehlin continuing his lectures at the High school auditorium under the auspices of the board of education yes terday afternoon spoke on Walt Whit man, Prophet and Democrat" He paid high tribute to the poet. and told much of his love of nature and mankind.
 Last night MT Zuebln s topic was Ed ucation for Freedom He said In part:
 ''The legacy of the nineteenth century was threefold industrial organization the democratic spirit and the cosmic sense. The nineteenth century was appropriately called by Alfred Russell Wallace. the wonderful century: yet it's greatest won ders were not it's Verities. but it's vistas. Modern industrial organization has multi piled creature comforts beyond the dreams of earlier times: it has united workers on a scale before unknown. but 1t has not made them happy; it has tried to ex ploit science but 1t has not become scien- tfic. It has increased material wealth and sacrificed spiritual values by compe ing uniformity.
 The second factor in the heritage of today Is the democratic spirit. This has not yet expressed itself so fully in lb- erty and fraternity AS in equality. Despite the shameful extremes of luxury and pov- erty superficial equality pervades con temporary life. Everybody reads; every body travels; everybody does what every body else does because everybody else ij doing 1t. More people read than ever before in history. Most of them cannot yet want good things, hence the taste of the cultivated surrenders to the popu- lar demand Journalism is extravagant, fiction is journalistic; the drama is sen sationaI The dramatic spirit holds latent inc larper life If Is p1pinpntarilX gnrri- feed to medocrty. Audacity is required to rise above the commonplace."

Beware of the Sharp Comb

DandrufY should not be allowed to gath CT on the scalp, but it should never be scraped off roughly or with a sharp comb. A fine comb will remove dandruff, but it may irritate the scalp and carry away new hair.
 Begin treatment by gently rubbing the scalp with sweet oil Of vaseline, leaving this on over night so as to thoroughly soften the crust. In the morning sham poo the head vigorously according to di- rectons that will be given and when nearly dry apply tonic containing a direct specific for the bacteria that in- fects dandruff. Resorcin and bi-cloride of mercury are regarded as effective for this purpose and most dandruff remedies contain either one or the other. This treatment should be repeated whenever there is any accumulation of dandruff The scalp should be well Aired every day and treated to a few minutes scalp mas sage, full directions for which will pc given in following lesson.
 As dandruff Is often the result of op- structions in the working of the sebaceous and sweat glands in the scalp, massage by improving the circulation and renlov- ing the torpidity of the scalp, will over come this difficulty
 Eczema is characterized by itching and the prence of scales on a red, raw sur face. When such is the case keep these spots covered with carbolated vaseline or have your druggist prepare you a sulphur lotion. Water should not be used on the scalp if eczema is present; keep it clean with sweet oil and brush the hair well.
