Don't know what a bed wrench ia?
OF course you don't. Nobody born of
this generation does. That's because
they never had to put up a cord bed

the bed It held.

each other when the footboard and

ran through each Of the four connecting
pieces. When the bedstead was assem-

pieces into the holes in the posts and
screwed up tight and in place by means
OF a stout stick thrust through the holes
In the round pieces the bed was ready
to be corded up and then the wrench
came into play.
THE bed wrench was something like
a stout wooden hand Wise. The cord. a
rope like clothes line, but Of better
quality, was run around the mushroom
like pegs. which were few inches
apart, and lengthwise and crosswise
from connecting piece to connecting
piece, like a big meshed net.
But the cord couldn't be drawn taut
enough with the hands, and SO daddy,
or big brother Bill, or perhaps the hired
man. grabbed the wrench, tangled 1t up
somewhere in a part Of the cord where
the tautening up process was TO begin.
and by persistent leverage around and
about the bedstcad at last wrenched the
cord to a condition Of satisfactory taut-
ness. and the tumult and the shouting
died.

the work Of setting up that cord bed

MRS. ROBSON KEEPS
 TAB ON THE VOTING

Mrs. Richmond Pearson Hobson was one of the most deeply interested women in Birmingham yesterday over the eec- tion. Being left here while Captain IIob- son went to Greensboro to vote, Nil &. Hobson was kept constantly advised from the headquarters of her husband how the tide was turning.
 She received messages at her hotel sll during the day as to the progress of the vote, and was even Informed how the voters received Oscar Underwood when he appeared at the local voting places. One report she received was to the effect that Mir. Underwood was received vii n indifference at one or two of the boxes.
 Mrs. Hobson remained at her hotel practically all day and was joined ther e last night by Captain Hobson and heard the returns with him. She was exceed- ingly well pleased with the early reports that were sent in by friends, but would not make any comment on the election.
 Captain Hobson returned here last night from Greensboro, where he voted yester- day morning. He was joined by Col. L.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, his campaign manager, and other friends from over the state who came here to be with the cap tain when he received information about the election

 Out of the thousands of votes cast in Alabama yesterday he is probably the only man who did not vote for the first two candidates on the ticket. Mir Underwood did not cast a ballot either for himself or for Captain Hob son.
 He was greeted with cheers by the whole crowd, friends and opponents alike, and was escorted to the head of the waiting line so he could cast his ballot and proceed on his tour of the voting places In different parts of the city, accompanied by Frank Hewitt, his Jefferson county campaign man. ager.
 At the different polling places yes terday MT. Underwood was hailed with cheers. Crowds gathered about him wherever he stopped, handshaking inn mediately would begin and there usu- ally was camera man in the neigh borhood somewhere working his shut ter like a hand saw. Business men crowded around and shook hands and the street urchins stood on the curbing and gapped with wide-open eyes at the big Birmingham man whose name has become a household word.

REPEATED DECLINES IN COTTON MARKET
Occasional Rallies Fail to Give Strength of Per-
 manence

New York April e-An easing off from to points under Saturdays closing was followed by repeated declines throughout today in the cotton market. occasional rallies in two Of the options. based on some buying by spot interest &, failing to give strength of permanence. After this buying there was a decline of from to 10 points for the day upon rumors that the department of justice would investigate the recent bear opera tions. Other weakening factors included very favorable weather reports, which were reflected in selling by leading trade houses in Liverpool. and a slower in- quiry and selling orders in the south. Climatic conditions and the prices at tracted southern selling orders. In that section the advancement of field work was reported possible because of lack of important precipitation during the past week. The rumor was recurrent here that foreign clique was attempting to gain control of the near months in this country and the local stocks of the staple although little credence was given these claims. At the close the net decline was from to 13 points, with the near months feeling the stronger pressure

business and professional men in the city. who probably never thought of voting anything in their life but the democratic ticket were challenged by different partisans and compelled to make out an affidavit, greatly delaying the balloting.
 Many prominent men were heard to remark that before another election of this kind there must be provision made for at least six or eight polling places in each of the big city beats. Con sensus of opinion was that 300 votes at the outside were enough for any one box under ideal conditions. As 1t was, many men were seen to get disgusted waiting in the long line yesterday, drop out and go home. Under bitter voting conditions, it is believed the vote would have been even still larger. \ feature of the balloting at nearly all of the city boxes was the appar. ent knowledge on the part of the voter with the intricaeies of the long bal lot. Tn spite of predictions to the con trary the majority ran down the bal lot with their pencil in one or two minutes. apparently having fully made up their minds to their favorite can l didate.

GREAT CROWD AT THE
 BUILDING

A huge crowd that cheered every time Oscar W. Underwoods name was flashed on the screen stood in front of The Age Herald building last night until the last return had been flashed and the good night sign told that it was time for bed.
 The crowd was variously estimated at from 2000 to 5000 and completely blocked Fifth avenue between Twenty-fr and Twenty-seeond streets. causing the street car motormen no end of worry when they essayed the passage between the crowded blocks.
 It was an Underwood crowd. Practi- cally every precinct in the county showed Q majority for the House leader and the returns from the state were decidedly in his favor. The interest of the onlookers was at fever heat When the operator of the machine played with his pencil CT stopped for a moment before writing the result of Captain Hobson's candidacy Tn some remote beat. it stood on tiptoes
 There were many ladies among the wis itors to see the returns flashed from The Age-Herald building. Automobiles were parked for more than two blocks.
 There were many candidates for county offices among the visitors to The Age. Herald. Candidates for the legislature made this building a rendezvous of the evening. all eager to get the facts as tc the reception given their candidacy by the voters.
