1t was, indeed, slow work. and un-
pleasant and venturesome at that. The
old vehicle wobbled and creaked as
they left the paved streets. Old Ready
stumbled, puffed and had to halt fre.
quently for rest. Then a mile or
less from their destination, a wheel
broke off in a rut. The hack nearly
pitched over. Ready gave final gasp
and sank down smashing the shafts

lapsed.

1t was about an hour later when
Tim, anXiously stroking poor Ready
who appeared to be at his last gasp,
was startled by the appearance Of
two men. They were breathless from
running and in a minute or two Tim
knew that they were on the trail Of
his recent fare. They looked inside
the vehicle. Then they began to ques-

Halloween High Carnival.

The Current Topic Club entertained
Friday evening of last week with a
Halloween High Carnival held in the
commodous corner room of the new
Crenshaw building, which with elabo-
rate decorations and weird lights was
transformed into beautiful Hallow-
cen scene Owls in the bare hrachUs
of their native haunts, bats, hlach
cats. witches and other reminders of
the season greeted one at every turn.
A number of unique feardres of en-
tertainment had been arranged, culmi-
mating in the search for the missing
man. whose trail led through many
dark and scary passages, while uncan-
ny ghosts in shrouds of white fitted
hther and yon. And when found the
missing man proved TO be headless,
except for ears which were very much
IN evidence.
The guests were served with delight
ful refrs shments of ice cream and cake
and little black cats, and then given

Hotel Dermott ballroom. where a de-
lightful informal dance was held until

Presbyterian Ladies Aid.

The Ladies Aid Society of the Pres
byterian Church met in the church at
5 O'Clock Monday afternoon with the
president in the chair Counting ba-
bes. We numbered thirty-three.
The business session was followed by
a visit from Mr. Haney with plea for
financial help in putting doors between
the main part of the church and the
part used for Sunday School classes
Mr.. Haney feels it would be a help to
the teachers to have the children in 4
room to themselves. 1t was decided TO
raise the funds before putting in the
doors.
The suggestion Of organizing a
branch aid society for the young wo-
meu Of the church. which would be un-
der the supervision Of the original soci-
cty. met with conflicting opinions. the
cniel objection being in dividing the
small number we how have. and the
chief advantages being a new incentive
- the younger members now in the So
ciety. and an additional membership
and possibly more work done, since the
amount accomplished is always gov
erned by the number who really work.
The president appointed committee

at large if the matter is not one in
which we are vitality concerned.
I'VE are recognized as the vital
thinking force among the American
women. Is it not time that we should
cease to adopt and countenance
styles set for US by Partisan houses,
regardless of the influence of such
styles upon our comfort, taste, or
sense of decency?"
If plans for the anti-ultra in dress
carry, the following resolution will
be presented at a conference upon
"The Relation of the Club to the
Community" o.
"The General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, in convention assem-
bled, views with disapproval the pres
ent extreme tendency among Amer.
lean women to follow designs in dress
regardless of beauty, comfort, or
modesty; and
These Objectionable designs in
women's clothes emanate largely, if
not entirely, from foreign houses;
and
Th1S constant patronage OF Ior-
eign designs and foreign materials
binders a normal development of
American art and manufacture. Be
it, therefore,
Resolved, That this convention, in
full recognition of the rights and
privileges of the individual, places
itself on record as heartily in favor
of the movement for simpler, more
becoming, and more modest designs
in Women's clothes, and urges the CO.
operation of all clubs and club women
of the federation in a concrete effort
TO adopt styles in dress adapted to
American designers and manufactur-
ers." r.

COMMISSION ID
 TAKE NO ACTION Pay-as- Y YOu-Enter Agitation to Be Allowed to Gradu-
 ally Die Out

Indications ct present seem to be that the pay your-enter proposition of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company will be merely allowed gradu- ally to die out without any official action being taken by the city commissioners. It was stated yesterday that no action on the matter would be taken at the meet ing this afternoon.
 The commissioners have. made no secret for the past two or three weeks that they were unanimously opposed to the system as it was being inaugurated by the street car company. on account or the type of cars used which necessitated certain mingling of the races, which the commissioners believe would not be for the best interests of the public. Sev- eral times since that the matter has been scheduled for action and 1t always has been passed over until later.
 It is probable that the commissioners want to avoid any possible embarrass- ment to the street car company by plac- ing on the record a resolution forbidding them using this new equipment and therefore by agreement with the com pany that the thing is to be dropped no official action Is to be taken.
 There Is no doubt but that if the street car company should insist upon the use of the new system of collecting fares the commissioners would then act al olce but it Is indicated the company has no desire to press the matter if it does not meet with the favor of the city officials and therefore the whole matter has been dropped.

WEST END EXCHANGE
 PUT IN COMMISSION
Complete New Equipment Expected to Bring About Great Improve
 ment in Service

The Southern Bell Telephone company yesterday effected a change in West End from it's old exchange to the new one that has recently been completed in that sec tion. The company has leased a new ex- change, installed complete equipment and has completely rearrangedi the service.
 It was announced in connection with this betterment that the company will cut in the East Lake and the Woodlawn exchanges during the next few days. which will be new departure for the two suburubs.
 It was not given out at the offices what the new betterments cost, but it is stated that no city in the country has been fur rished such superior equipment for it's suburban lines as the equipment placed in West End, East Lake and W oodlawn.
 The improvements that are being com pleted are in line with the announce mont made here some months ago by D. F. Turnbull commercial superintendent, that the improvement would take place. He has in the meantime been transferred to Atlanta.

AWFUL NIGHTMARE
 INVADES PULLMAN

By the narrowest margin a passenger on the Louisville and Nashville from Nashville was saved from terrible death yesterday morning by other passengers Of the Pullman.
 From what was related by passengers the train was proceeding rapidly away from Nashville toward Birmingham when suddenly the night air was pierced by the most narrowing yells. The noise was from a masculine voice and came from a lower berth occupied by a passenger en route to New Orleans
 Other occupants of the Pullman rushed toward the screams dressed in pajamas and other night apparel. They found the screaming passenger about to crawl out of the window He was finally jerked back into his berth and restoratives ap- piled which eventually awakened the dreaming man. Not, however, before ne had smashed the double Pullman window with his fist and effected space large enough for him to crawl through. The passengers on the train awakened the man, who said he was subject to harrow ing dreams, which, it seems, had come upon him in the shape of q nightmare. The mans arms and his hand were badly cut and he required the services of a physician.
 The affair created intense excitement on the train from what can be learned and almost resulted in the whole car being thrown into sleepless night.
 Murray Brown and District Manae CT Knox of the Southern Bell were passen- gers on the car

MARKET ORDINANCE WILL COME BEFORE
 COMMISSION TODAY
Weatherly May Offer an Amendment-IndicatiOns Are That Ordinance
 Will Be Defeated

What will happen to the market ordi- nance this afternoon when it is sched- tiled to come before the city commission is unknown. for late last night Commis- sioner James Weatherly, who has the ordinance in charge, stated he might offer an amendment, and if he does 1t is possible the ordinance will be passed for another week.
 President George Ward and Commits sioner A. 0. Lane were prepared to vote down the market ordinance in it's orig ipal form when it came up this after noon, but what they will think of Mir. Weatheriy's amendment is yet unknown.
 The new feature Commissioner Wealth erly is considering is that peddlers who grow their own garden stuff will be al- lowed to sell it at any time during the day regardless of market hours. The pedder who does not grow what he sells from his wagon will be compelled, how ever, to observe the market hours and not sell on the streets at any place but designated market places between the market hours, which are from 6 to 1C C clock each morning
 The majority of the peddlers of the city at present, it is said, are men of tn, latter class. They are peddlers who bu, their goods on Morris avenue or iron lccal truck growers and farmers. Thess men would still have to observe the market hours and the result. it is said would be that on account of the small number of growers and farmers who ac- tualy retail their own stuff, very few peddlers would be entitled to sell pro- because it would compel many house.
 This proposed amendment would not eliminate the objection made that the market ordinance should not be passed because it woudl compel many house. wives to walk mile or two or spend fC cents car fare to get a little garden pro- duce in the morning by coming downtown to one of the markets.
 It was also suggested last night that the amendment might put the ordinance Tn the column of class legislation in that it would give the peddler who grows his own produce an advantage over tho others. The peddler who sells homo grown vegetables would not be exemp from the market hours clause of tho ordinance unless he grew the produc, himself, MT. Weatherly says and cite. for instance that if a peddler bought ( load of truck from a local farmer thai peddler would have to observe the marke hours. although he had home growr vegetables but did not grow it himself
 Indications are that the ordinance will either be defeated today or passed ovei for another week. Attorney Prosch ha. promised to present more petitions signed by housewives objecting to the ordinance He has already presented petitions signed by over @0O names.

DR. EDMONDS WILL LECTURE THURSDAY Treat Is Expected When He Discusses "A Cattle Boat
 Trip to Europe

Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church, is to deliver his lecture on "A Cattle Boat Trip to Europe" at the Jefferson theatre on Thursday evening, March 1a. at s:15 under the auspices of the Pastors Aid society of his church. and for the benefit of that noble band of church working women.
 According to Dr. Edmonds own state ment and fair warning, as announced from his pulpit on Sunday, the audience must assemble fully prepared for dis appointment. This must mean that the preacher is to disrobe himself of clerical garb, subdue his seriousness. unbridle his dignity and restraint. and let roll from his eloquent tongue a story replete with incidents of travel. that will arouse the risibles of old fashioned orthodox folk, and with his wealth of sentiment, refresh the audience with the thought that laughter is an essential to real life and that this world is not all d sea of tears
 In his temporary suspension of Il treat ment of mankind" and apt allusion to the ''cow-Sind" the speager will no doubt present lesson worthy of study by those who appreciate the value of dumb creation. He may draw picture of that cargo of cows and oxen, penned on a mighty ship, tossed and sickened by the high seas, yet fed by the hands of the goung preacher himself and his co-laborers on the cattle boat. who were working thcir way to see the old land of the fathers He may tell of his work as a milkmaid and his application of the churn- dasher as he drew lacteal substances and butter fat for the susteuance of his crew.
 A real treat must be in store for those who are to see and hear the eloquent preacher of the South Highlands Presby- terian church. transformed into COW, tender on the high seas, Dr. Edmonds possesses rare gift of reason and flow of soul--a fact which will be demonstrated to those who go and hear his disserta- tion on the Cow at Sea subject sc rich for thought in food and drink, sky and sea.

WANTS MR. FASHION
 ID SHOW HIMSELF White Says Men Should Be as Much Interested as
 Ladies This Week

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I am heartily in accord with the mem bers of the Business Mems league and their efforts to create a Fashion Week for Birmingham. This is the center of the south for a great many things, and should undoubtedly be the center of fashion, and I am quite sure that such efforts as are being put forth at pres ent will go a long way toward making it so, but isn't it a shame to let Miss Fashion rove the streets of Birming ham unattended.
 The men of Alabama have the repu- they want, and what does beautiful young lady. attired in the height of fashion, desire more than a congenial escort, equally as well dressed Now, there is no reason why the men of Birmingham should not be as well dressed as the women, Sfor if you will examine thS displays asNshown at pres ent you will find that possibly greater efforts have been expended fn the line of mems dress than there have been for the women. Our men have the op- portunity of choosing among the most beautiful models that have ever been designed by the worlds most artistic draftsmen. and the fabrics this year are almost endless as to choice, so that q man may have just as wide choosing and as much variety as the women.
 Now, MT. Editor, Birmingham, of all places, cannot afford to do things by halves, so why not in your efforts, en- courage the men to assist in making Birmingham the real fashion center of the south If requires no effort on the part Of the men, as all they need is to have the will and wherewithal.
