To Drive the Boy off the Farm.

lamb, or something for pet and after II

much attached to it, sell it and by all

business over with him or in any othel

night after the chores are done and shy

prised, tell him that you cannot see why
he always wants horse, and that
horse that has been worked all day can
not be driven all night. II it happens tt

Harris, general counsel of the New

the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee, considering antitrust legisla-
ton, that congress should provide for
federal Incorporation of, interstate

Congress-" he continued, would
then control its own children. Nov
these railroads are state born, and ye-
congress partly controls them. The

that federal incorporation also would

for Proposed CONSTITUTIONAL Chance
for Enlisted Sailors.
Washington, D. c., Julie AUST be
fore adjournment last evening the
Senate adopted an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill authorizing
the sale of the battleships Idaho and
Mississippi and the use of the pro
ceeds from the sale in the construc-
ton of an additional modern dread
Inought of the highest power and effic-
iency. Greece is understood to be the
prospective purchaser, and will pay
cash for them, taking them over at
their construction cost, perhaps a
triffe more than that. With certain
economies that can be put into effect
elsewhere in the department Secre-
tary Daniels told the naval committee
he could build the additional dead
nought without coming to Congress
for an extra appropriation.
Predicts Peril From Airships.
"These boats, completed in 1908, are
useless now" remarked Senator
Thomas, of Colorado. THE boats we
are building now will be obsolete in
1919"
ooh, no." responded Senator Lodge,
these vessels are not useless; they
are splendid ships, but it is beliyed
one larger vessel is more desirable for
US"
Senator Lane, of Oregon, suggested
that in 1919 the United States would
be buying back the smaller vessels
because the large ones would be too
easy mark for airship bombs.
Senator O'Gorman won a victory
when the committees recommendation
that the Secretary of the Navy should
have discretion in the matter of con-
structing one of the new battleships
in government navy yard was struck
from the bill. This action was taken
by the decisive vote of 40 to L..
Friends of other yards, particularly a
number of Southern senators, urged
an appropriation to equip another yard
for this class of work. This was de-
feated by vote of Al TO u.
Californian Fight Brooklyn.
This action of the Senate makes it
practically certain that the Brooklyn
yard will get one of the new battle
ships. The California delegation con-
tends that Mare Island is equipped
and should have the contract. They
say that prompt construction cannot
follow in the Brooklyn yard because
the vessel now under way there will
not be launched in time to permit i'm
mediate work on the ship authorized
in the pending bill
A clause was inserted to authorize
the Secretary of the Navy to appoint
annually fifteen enlisted men not owe.
20 years of age to the Naval Academy
A similar provision in the measure as
it passed the House had been eliminat
ed by the naval committee.
Another committee amendment to
authorize a special committee, con-
sisting of member of the House AMI
Senate naval committee, respectively,
ard a naval officer, to report on the To-
cation and cost of an armor plant was
pending when the Senate adjourned.

Cleveland, June with a rabbit )
hind leg for a thumb bone and quart
of another mans blood in his veins.
Bertrand Williams, ) years old, is just
recovering from what physicians say
was one of the most delicate opera
lions of it's kind ever performed here.
Last fall Williams came to Glenville
Hospital suffering from a peculior
bone malady. His right foot was af-
fected. After a number of examina-
lions the leg was amputated just below
the knee.

lions the leg was amputated just below

Given Perfectly Good Thumb.
DR.. Theodore B. Breck performed
the operation.
A few weeks ago Williams returned
to the hospital with the same peculiar
affection in his hand On examination
it was found that his blood had been
poisoned by the malady. DR.. Beck
called into consultation DR.. H. Z.
Fowler, and it was decided to replace
the bone.
the hind leg of a rabbit was obtaia-
ed and the bone put in place of the at,
fected bone, which extended from the
first joint of the left thumb to the
wrist joint. The ligaments and mus
Giles were attached and the wound
healed rapidly.
Friend Furnishes the Blood.
The physician feared that the faint
ed blood would carry the infection to
another spot, so it was decided to re-
place large part of Williams blood
also.
Jacob Maturing, a friend of Williams,
volunteered to give a quart of his
blood. A like amount of Williams
blood was drained off and Markings
blood transferred to his friends veirg
successfully.
An hour after the TRANSMISSION NAH
ring left the hospital, while few days
later Williams also left, practically
cured.

E YER since the 'thin red line" was
 IN pink-as the Corolla down at the - university indicates the early his- tory of its grdiron heroes-with photo graphs of the said heroes taken when they were kicking, growing infants-the real stress and strain and hysteria of graduation time has centered in the Bir- mingham boys. The excitement of secur- ing suitable frils and ribbons for the college girls commencement has its own place. and one must grant that brilliant records, too, are expected of the girl at college and many times achieved; but the importance of her student career pales into insignifcance beside that of her brother to whom it represents almost all of life. A retrospect of the past week shows that most of the gayetes of the times were affairs that interested the parents and friends of college boys. The Birmingham people going to Tuscaloosa and Auburn for the finals at Alabama s greatest colleges numbered several score, and many more here at home have await ed news of the boys success with an eagerness that gives to the students them- selves a keen sense of responsibility.
 The best Birmingham families are rep
 resented at the various colleges and pre-
 paratovy schools throughout the coun- try; the thoroughness which is charac-
 terizing the preparation of the boys for their various professions foretells splen- didly equipped men-men who will in a few years occupy the positions of most honor among Birminghams citizenship

FORTY MUST have MEANING.
Strange Coincidence That This Num-
ber Should Occur So Many
Times in the Bible

Have you ever noticed anything
peculiar about the number forty? These
figures seem to have had an unusual
bearing on events, both past and
present.
We all know the story of the
forty" thieves and the old verse of
the "forty' flags. Then there are the
members of the French academy known
as the "forty" immortals; and the
slang for "going some"N was "going
like forty
But the most interesting list of oc-
ourrences in which this mysterious
"forty" is to be found is IN the Bible,
as shown in the following:
The rain that produced the flood
fell for "forty' days and "forty"
nights and after it ceased it was
"forty" days before Noah opened the
ark. Moses was "forty" days on the
mountain fasting and the spies spent
"forty" days investigating matters
in Canaan before making their report.
Elijah tasted forty days in the
wilderness, and Jonah gave the people
of Ninevah "forty" days in which to
repent The "forty" days fast of
Jesus is known to all readers of the
New Testament.
The Bible is always Interesting, but
the one distributed by the Star-Inde-
pendent has an added feature of in
terest in its magnificent illustrations.
Besides these which are printed with
the text matter and which were pre-
pared at an expense of $4,000 there
are numerous full page color plates
from the world famous Tissot collec-
tion. All of these ''eye-teaching' pic
lures have direct reference to the
verse which they accompany, which
cannot be said of any other Bible.
