to place on each warrant he issues the
number of the demand against which
it has been issued. This will make
defalcations difficult and will make

LANE WILL CONFER WITH WALKER PERCY Wants WaterwOrks Go. to Hold Up Flat Rates
 Pending Appeal

Judge A. o. Lane will hold a con- ference Monday with Walker Percy, counsel for the Birmingham Water works company, and states he hopes to have the waterworks company agree to hold up the flat rates they have an- nounced until the supreme court deci- sion in the waterworks case is made.
 Judge Lane says that the water com pany would not be in contempt of court to do this because the case is appealed. He states that he is very hopeful of securing action which will save the public in the next several months from paying a considerable increase in wa ter bills.
 q have great faith in the possible success of putting this matter through, said Judge Lane yesterday. Tn a re- cent conference with the city commits sioners Mir. Percy stated that it was his desire as counsel of the water com pany to act as harmoniously as pos sble with the city government. He stated that the water company did not wish to appear tyrannical or work q hardship of any kind on the public. "Therefore I am going to ask him to allow the water rates of this city to remain in statuo quo until the su- preme court decides the appealed case.

Russian Plays by Irish

From the Manchester Guardian.
 The suggestion made by MT. Hutcl
 that the Irish players should pr ss si, some of Tchehov's plays Is not H- possible one. The company has al
 produced "Hennele' and a plas aa Strindberg and "The Post Office. sg Rabindranath Tagore, and if they # able to perform German, Swedish ar HH dian drama, there does not appear F any obvious reason why they should not perform Russian drama also MT. Hutch- inson is little unfortunate in the arsu- ments he uses to support his suggestion The Irish are notably kind to dumb ani- mals, as he asserts, nor are they terri bly drunken They drink less than Eng lshmen or Scotsmen. At this moment a wave of temperance is sweeping over tho whole island. So far as kindness to anl- mals is concerned, the Irish. generally speaking, are no kinder than the English or the Scotch, and in some parts of Ire- land they are very much less kind to their beasts than either of the other peo- ples. Synge gives instances of cruelty to animals in his plays and in his books on the Aran Islands and Wicklow.
 In 'The Playboy of the Western World" for example. Pegreen Niks makes this speech to Christy Mahon when he announces that he has killed his dog: You never hanged him. the way Jimmy Farrel hanged his dog from the license, and had 1t screeching and wrig- gling three hours at the butt of string. and the peelers swearing it had life In another place Synge tells story of Cons naught peasants who plucked live geese. In fairness 1t must be added that these incidents refer to time when life was cruder and rawer in Ireland than it is now. No doubt these brutalities could easily be paralleled in England or Scot land.

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CTTY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

July is the proper time to begin to get the land in shape for planting vege- tables for fall and winter use.
 Vegetables are usually scarce in late fall and early winter and practically all fresh green foods will be very welcome at that time.
 Many people have the idea that vege- tables can be successfully grown only in the spring and summer, but with a little care and attention, the garden can be made to yield fresh vegetables prac- tically every month in the year.
 It is very good time to eliminate tin cans and garbage piles from back lots and utilize vacant spaces for all and winter gardening. There are unsightly vacant places around practically all city homes, which, if planted with vegetable seeds, would become places of beauty as well as of utility.
 garden, however small, great asset would be added to the economic welfare of the city, as well as to it's beauty and attractiveness.
 Preparation of the Soil-In starting a vegetable garden, the first and most im- portant step is to get the soil in as nearly perfect physical condition as pos sible
 This can be done by first breaking the soil deeply (S to 10 inches deep if possibe) and then by thoroughly pulverizing the surface soil with harrow. Where only small spaces are available. the soil can be broken satisfactorily with spading fork and then raked until all clods are broken up

Southern Will Act as Soon as Experiments Are
 Concluded

Elimination of the smoke from the many switch engines constantly oper- ating in Birmingham is a goal which City Commissioner A. O. Lane is con fident of reaching. Judge Lane stated yesterday that he had had confer ence with L. Sevier, general agent of the Southern Railway company. and that it looked as if in the near future coke instead of coal would be burned
 q talked with MT. Sevier in regard to the matter and he was very req sonable," said Judge Lane. T am doing all can to do away with the unneces- sary smoke in Birmingham and Mir Sevier assured me that he was as much the spirit of cooperation and civic pride shown by MT. Sevier and I am confident that within a short time he will burn coke in all of his engines.
 "Mr Sevier states his company is now experimenting with this matter in Mem phis and as soon as results are heard on the trial there something will be done in Birmingham. The Birmingham Southern is already burning coke in its switch engines and I am informed that sll the railroads in Atlanta burn coke inside the city limits"

Suit Sale at Blach's Proves Success Despite Omission of the
 Firm Name

The Age-Herald yesterday morning printed an advertisement for J. Blach & Sons leaving off the name plate. The ad was of a sale of suits at $16.75 and the name of the store was not mentioned at all. Notwithstanding this oversight there were hundreds of customers at the Blach store throughout yesterday. because of the advertisement. It was stated by many that the style of Blach's advertis- ing was so distinctive that at single glance they recognized the store in which the advertised values were.
 It was a neat tribute to the cleverness of Blach's advertising writer that he can write an ad, leaving off the name of the store, and customers will know the firm because of the distinctive individuality of the advertisement. The $16.75 suit sale was a success despite the fact that the ad was printed minus the name of the store.
