"The feather ticker, as it is used
IN our street celebrations, is a con.
slant menace to the eyes and faces
Of the revellers," said DR.. Pratt this
morning, land it might easily prove
d dangerous carrier of tuberculosis
germs. The tickling sensation it pro-

causes the victim to sneeze; If he
happens to be afflicted with tuber
CulOsis or any other infections dis
case he is very likely to inject some
OF the germs into the ticker. Then

trebled, and the deposits in savings
banks have quadrupled. The irr1ga-

WAR WILL CAUSE
 CHEMICALS ID SOAR Imported Drugs and Toilet Articles Stopped With
 Opening of Hostilities

As a result of the war between the na- tions of Europe there is liable to be shortage of drugs and chemicals. It IS understood the price of these commodities has already gone up, and all orders Tor future delivery on foreign made chem ical products have been cancelled. As- perrin ,one of the most widely used drugs, is manufactured exclusively in Germany, as are many other chemical products that are extensively used in this country Fin iAhed quinine is also an imported article from Europe, and the present supply will soon be exhausted.
 M P Northington. treasurer of the Dos r-Northington Drug company, stated that tie prices on foreign made drugs and compounds have been materially ad- vanced, and that orders have been can ceiled that were placed the first of June. He states the same applies to French per- fumes and toilet accessories. In regard to the future supply. MT. Northington said it was possible that the German and French concerns may commence the man ufacture of these commodities in this country through their New York agencies.
 The supply in the United States of these goods is limited according to statements of leading druggists. and 1t is probable that the manufacture will be commenced in the United States as soon as suitable arrangements can be made.

FIRST AVENUE
 FIRE ALL SMOKE Dr. DOzier's Office Said to Be Where Flames
 Started

Fire of unknown origin which started in the rear of 2o2o First avenue about s:3O o'clock last night did little dam age. Stations 1, 2, and of the fire department answered the call. More damage was done by smoke and water than by the fire.
 Drs. o. T. and Byron Dozier occupy the second floor of the building, and the fire was confined to the rear of that floor pr. Byron Dozier stated last night that he could not estimate what the damage, if any, had been done his instruments. He carries $500 in insur- ance on his appliances.
 The Guarantee Clothing company oc- cupies the lower floor of the building. The only damage to their stock was caused by smoke and water.
 The smoke penetrated the walls of the building and completely filled McVays seed store next door
 The street in front of the building was filled with people who had come to view the fire. Due to the damp weather the smoke hung like pail over the city and attracted many to the scene.
 Dr. Byron Dozier was at home when he was informed by telephone that his office was burning. Without waiting for his coat he rushed to the street. caught passing automobile and hurried to the scene. The building is owned by Mrs. Claude L. Coleman of Huntsville. and the J. l.. Yancey Real Estate company are the agents.

STEAMER OLYMPIC SA|LSF0R LIVERPOOL
Believed Vessel WI. ,e Used by England for War
 Purposes

New York, August 9.-Loaded to her carrying capacity with provisions and coal, the White Star liner Olympic sud denly left her pier here today and sailed for Liverpool. She had been announced to sail yesterday with passengers and cargo, but at the last moment her or- ders were cancelled by the British ad- miralty and her passengers sailed on tho Adriatic of the same line The Olympic was permitted to leave the harbor with out question. As the vessel steamed down the bay she met the American liner New York coming fin. Cheers were exchanged by passengers on the New York and sailors on the British vessel. which carried no passengers and, 1t Is assumed is recalled to British waters to serve as an auxiliary war vessels or transport.
 The New York. considerably less speedy than more modern ocean liners, sailed from cherbourg and Southampton Au- gust l. when only Austria and Servia were at war. The rush of Americans home from Europe because of the war scare already had set in, however. and the American liner had a capacity list. There were 57o passengers on board all told, of whom 422 were cabin passengers.
 Captain Roberts said the steamer conn municated by wireless with the British cruiser Drake Tuesday. but no war ves- sells had been sighted. Being an Amar- ican vessel she was in no danger of cap- ture.
 The only other passenger carrying steamer from Europe to reach port today was the Italian liner Caserta, which left Genoa July 23 and Naples on July 2s before any hint of war was in the air. She had 45 cabin and ITS steerage pas sengers She encountered no warships
 An arriving vessel which feared such an encounter. however, was the German oil tank steamer Meppen. from Oporto. To avoid French and British warships she took a southerty course, painting her funnel black and taking all possible pre- cautions.
 Something of an air of mystery sur rounded the sailing in ballast today of the French steamer Venexia of the Fabrs line. whose destination ordinarily is Mar seilles. According to an official of the line. she cleared this time for Montreal. No explanation as to why she made for the Canadian port was forthcoming. Shipping men thought, however. sha either might be destined to carry French reservists abroad from the dominion or to take on a cargo of Canadian grain for Europe.

SHOE MAN TALKS
 OF WARS EFFECT
John w. Craddock Thinks It May Cause American Leadership in
 Financial World

St. Louis. August 9.-(Special.)--JohnW w. Craddock, president of the Craddock Terry Shoe company of Lynchburg, yes terday declared he was optimistic over the future of business conditions in the United States and declared that in a general way big European war may have the effect of making this country the recognized world leader in finance, enjoy ing such prestige London has held here tofore.
 With the precautionary measures that are being taken by the administration at Washington and leading bankers, there is no reason to anticipate serious or pro- longed monetary disturbance in this coun- try he said
 "If ample provision can be made against too much delay in the movement of our great grain and cotton crops to meet the European demand. believe this country will enjoy constantly increasing trade both at home and abroad" he continued
 MT. Craddock is in St. Louis mapping out the policies and plans of the Me- Elroy-Sloan Shoe company which forms the western department of the Craddock- Terry company. The McElroy-Sloan Shoe company formerly was the Burrow-Jones- Dyer Shoe company of St. Louis, which was absorbed by Craddocks corporation in May, and reorganzed under its new name July 1. He announced yesterday that plans for doubling the capacity of the McElroy-Sloan factory at Louisiana, Mo-, have been completed and work will be finished in 90 days. The output of the St. Louis factory will also be in- CT eased.
 MT. Craddock said the crop and busi- ness conditions east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio river probably are bet ter than in any section of the country.

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CTTY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

The general effect of an evergreen forest is that of somberness. Life is not to have enough of the somber element forced out if by circumstance outside of ones central, and for that reason. If for no other. planting which develop this effect in the surroundings of the home should be avoided. The use of the narrow leaved evergreens is therefore restricted from an aesthetic stanpoint. They are also generally restricted by climatic conditions to high attitudes.
 In summer the effect is one of con- trast in growing plants, while In win ter it is, as it were, a contrast of the living with the dead. During winter the eonfers by retaining their leaves car ry with them an expression of life and warmth, and when draped with snow and ice the long and graceful branches of the pines and spruces present most interesting and beautiful objects. The gaunt, bare branches of the leafless oaks and maple produces marked contrast with the compact form of well grown conifers.
 Because of the undesirable effect re- sulting from the close planting of ever greens, their use Is restricted. As a means of emphasizing slight elevations they are exceedingly useful Screens which cannot be made sufficiently dense or lasting with deciduous trees can well be formed with conifers.
 Some sections show only deslduous while others posses only coniferous for ests. In the landscape gardening neith- CT of these extremes can be followed with profit. An intermingling of ever greens with the desiduous plants pro duces a pleasing effect which relieves the faults of too general use of either
 At the south the character of decor ative plantations Is of necessity very different from that at the north. Here evergreen forests abound; the marked contrast of the seasons Is not empha- sized in nature. Even during winter

bOWRON BELIEVES
 GERMAN EMPEROR REAL MONOMAN|AC Thinks War Will Not Last Long and Will Help
 American Industry :
IS JUST BACK FROM
 CALIFORNIA TRIP
Greatly Impressed With States Mag nitude and Resources and Found Many Things of Interest
 Through the West

That William of Germany is undoubt- edly monomaniac and possessed of an obsession which has thrown Europe into a state of war, was an opinion expressed yesterday by James Bowron, who is re- garded as one of the best informed men on European conditions in this city.
 "I cannot conceive" said MT. Bowron, ''how the German Emperor can defend his unparalleled actions. His declaration of war. his absolute setting aside of the neutrality of Luxemberg, of Holland, of Belgium and other acts stamp him un- mistakably as a man deranged. His ac- tions in this war will go down in history as the most disgraceful that have ever occurred in the chronicles of the world. I do not believe the war will last over six weeks. The crux of the situation is with the English and German navy. It may be that fight has already occurred. If not, then, from the information we get, I am inclined to think that the Ger mans are trying to inveigle the British toward them, thus passing some mines in the sea. The British are too wary for this, and the two navies, therefore, seem to be maneuvering for an advan- tageous position. It is entirely probable that the British navy will sweep the Germans off the sea when they do clash.
 My opinion is that when it is settled that the German navy is bottled up or destroyed and the lanes are open between tI,, pick up and with big volume. Ameri- ca, as I view it, is in very fine condi- tion as result of the troubles abroad I see absolutely no reason for any un- easiness here. This country is sure to profit by the inactivity of industries abroad. I am taking a conservatively optimistic view of the situation, but un- til we find out more about the war it will be difficult to give a clear opinion of the effects on this district
 MT. Bowron and Mrs. Bowron have onl, recently returned from a trip to Califor. mia and through the vest They visited Yellowstone Park. being there only 2
 hours after the famous hold-up of tn,
 stages in the park, which attracted wide spread attention. MT Bowron is enthu siastic about California and the west gen

recognize the name bestowed at the bap- tismal font.
 To make up for the abbreviation of his given name his friends gave him the hon ored title of Bishop" ana as Bishop Morrow he is widely known. Of course. he has had some unusual experiences in connection with the clerical title and he relates them with much glee. He fre- uuently visits his friend Judge John Roberts of Eutaw, and when Bishop Morrow arrives at his plantation he inVa- riably Is visited by delegation of de culled Mefodis who ask the Bishop to straighten out some trouble among tke congregation of the church, which he all ways does much to his own satisfaction and generally to theirs
 During the recent visit of the location commission of the Methodist church when the memorable attempt was made to se- cure the Methodist University for Bir- mingham there were quite number of the high dignities of the church in the city, including several bishops.
