LIVE ON FISH THEY CATCH
Remarkable Breed Of Banker Ponies"
Natives OF the Coast Of
North Carolina.

On the coast of North Carolina there
are several miles of low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except a coarse
grass, a few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banks lives a strange
breed Of half-wild horses known as
banker ponies" These creatures ara
generally about twice the size of Shet.
land ponies. Every year the herd
owners drive the bankers" into pens,
brand the foals with the proper mark
and catch some of the older animals
to sell to the dealers.
North Carolinians say that the beasts
must be starved into eating grain, hay
Or grass, for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass of the
marshes and on fish. They catch the
fish for themselves at low tide; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes in the
sand below high-water mark, and when
the tide falls they greedily deyour the
fish that are stranded In these holes.
Often they fight brisky over an espe.
cially tempting morseL
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in
temper. Once tanned, they make ex.
cellent draft animals, for they have
a strength that is disproportionate to
their. size. Foals that r bred from
bankers" In captivity make valuable
animals-strong and intelligent

HAT brims are growing wider and
III modistes foretell a vogue for large
hats, to begin with the fall season.
Large hats and small, simple coiffures

light puff for filling out the couture

also to consider small hair rolls or
pads for supporting the hair, and
coiffures r quite generally dressed
in waves. These are the wavelets
that are breaking upon a new shore

A MUCH sketched and much talked
~ of costume, worn at the Chantilly
races, is pictured at the left of the
snapshot photograph which appears
here. 1t is in black satin with the
longest of white lace tunics over it
and a black satin coat. With the
same color combination, used in re-
verse order, is a costume of white
satin with o~verdrape of black lace,
at the right of the picture.
A throng of people attend these
meets for the sole purpose of staging
costumes in the most effective of set
tings. These people demonstrate the
modes and launch new styles. They
form the centers of attraction for that
greater throng that is in attendance
for the purpose of looking at them.
The handsome costume which
caused SO many modistes to take mo-
tice and so many artists to level cam
eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark
able for the oddly Of the lace Of
which the tunic is made. Patterned
after an old idea, modern lace, show
ing dgures on a net ground, was used
for this tunic. But the figures are
distinctly up to date, showing girls in
sweeping draperies and graceful out
lines encircling the tunic near the bot
tom. The figures and draperies are
cleyerly outlined with run-in threads
and they, with the garlands of flowers
and ether figures, r brought out in a
cameo-like relief by the underskirt of
black satin.

the face is liked by the younger
women. Only a few curls about this
face relieve the plainness Of this style.
but a mass of hair piled on top of ths
head makes a piquant arrangement
suited to youthful faces.
Puffs and short curls are becoming
to everyone and look as well on grand
mama as on her daughter and daugh-
ter's daughter. They are most sue
cessful when made separately and
pinned on, for they can be easily
dressed and placed wherever needed.
There is no very good reason why
one should not borrow the charm that
belongs to them unless q prejudice
against wearing separate pieces OF
hair can be construed as reasonable

The coat is not allowed to distract
of odd lace. 1t Is entirely plain, but
quite original in cut. The hat is of
black satin with two ex~travagantly
long Numidi feathers sweeping be-
yond the brim edge.
The attention Of the seeker for new
styles having been seized by this
novel gown, he notes its details to
find new features worth remember
ing. First, its simplicity; then the
extra length of tunic and width of pet
ticoat; and most noticeable, the wide
hat brim, which is a radical new de
parture.
1t is not often that anything Sc
striking is at the same time SO ele
giant. The combination of black ant
white makes this possible.
The second gown is hardly less
noteworthy and only q shade less orig
inal. The tunic is OF black net, hay
ing an insert of lace wrought in an1
a border of very wide velvet ribbon
above the hem. It is set on to TIT
bodice of black net by a band of black
velvet. The long sleeves are Of net
and lace in black. There is that orig
inal touch which means everything IL

bodice.

GERMANS BLAME KA|SERFOR THE WAR Subject in Marion, in Con- menting Declares Kaiser
 Has All to Gain

Marion, September 1S.-(Special )-Karl Koppius of Hettstedt, Germany. was here during the week to visit his son, Otto Koppius. a member of the faculty of Ma rion institute. MT. Koppius sailed for the United States on July 2s, only few days before the war was declared, and in discussing the situation, through his son.. Otto. as interpreter. said he was doubtful of the result of the war. MT Koppius stated that win or lose, the Kali ser was almost sure to lose as he is blamed by his subjects for bringing on the war. The political jingoes of Ger many have the Kaisers ear. and should he win a civil war would be the result Should the allies win, the whole of the nobility of Germany would be swept from power. MT. Koppius goes to Livingston where he also has son, and at the first opportunity will sail for home. as his family is there.

effeminate-the charge has come from Americans, perhaps because it lacks the virllity which characterizes the English language-but one thing stands out domi- nantly about the French language, and that is its clearness 'Ce que Test pas clair nest pas Francais.' The French language contains no such inversions or circumlo- cutions as the Spanish language. That is it's advantage over Spanish and Italian. This is demonstrated by the French writers of all ages Fenelon, Bossuet in religious matters, Michelet in history, in science. Buffon, while the same applies to Blaise Pascal and the innumerable writers of fiction. like Balzac and Victor Hugo. In the short story field, the masters have been French writers, the most per feet of all being de Maupassant, the chief of a certain school of short story writers. The Necklace is a perfect specimen of the short story, even though it is tragic to a degree, and imbued with that ex- treme pessimism that characterized de Maupa ssant's whole life. Zola himself wrote short stories and Daudet also. his La Derniere Classe being a master piece-a story of the -Prussian war, pathetioaly told and intensely hu- man. French, of course, is the language of diplomacy and there is scarcely a statesman of any renown whatever who is ignorant of 1t. 1t has taken the place of the ancient Latin language in this re- spect."

BOXES READY FOR
 THE ELECTION MONDAY

Ballot boxes have been prepared for the election on September 21 for city commissioner by Scudder Ryall clerk of the board of city commissioners. Each ballot box contains a sufficient number of ballots, tally sheets return blanks and instructions for the voters and election managers. There will be two separate ballots. The ballots for commissioner are printed on white pa per, the ballots for the bond issue on pink.
 Judge Lane has ordered detail of 16 policemen for special duty at the 16 voting precincts of the city, who on Monday morning will carry the boxes to the several precincts and deliver them to the returning officers of each precinct who in turn will deliver them to the election officials. The officers will remain on duty at the precinct to which assigned during the entire day and until the vote is counted.
 So far as the ballot boxes are con ccrned the duties of the policemen will end with the delivery of the boxes to the returning officer. It will be the returning- officers duty to personally bring the ballot box and the returns of the election at the conclusion of

be formed and I am going to use the grammar-conyersati tion form of teaching, emphasizing especially the conversational side. Since the opening of the great Panama canal. the Spanish language has come into it's own with Americans, espe- cially the people of the south, Alabama in general and Birmingham in particular. as it has neyed before done. The Spanish language will now be regarded as a badge of culture, as well as French. As I nave said before in the columns of your news paper, in regard to the necessity of the business man mastering the Spanish layi- guage, without attempting to be dog matie, we may make it known as a tru- ism that no American manufactures or merchant will make any considerable progress in the markets of Latin-America unless he masters. the Latin point of view in either social or commercial relations. Moreover, he must have thorough knowledge of the Spanish language. It is the sesame with which these opportunities are to be unlocked. Too much stress can. not be laid upon this point. That the Span ish language is the key to the vast South American commerce requires no argu- ment. Without a knowledge of Spanish it is simply impossible to establish trade with South America
 The bookkeeper the stenographer, the clerk-in fact, any business man or wom- an Professor Scatori continued, 'who knows Spanish now is constantly in de mand, not only here but everywhere else and certainly Birmingham can i'll afford to deny the youth and flower of her city the privilege of learning the language that will place it in position to be more val uable to itself and to the community at large.'

 In speaking of the election officers, Mir Ryall said:
 "The appointment of election off. cers by the delegated authority makes it imperative that the persons named as such officers shall serve The ap- pointment bears the same relation and requires comparatively the same pub lie service as those who are summoned for jury duty. A person appointed ard duly summoned for this duty can not be excused from serving except on the legal excuses that might re- lieve a juryman from serving as a juror. No one has the authority to excuse an election official except the managers of the election itself, and whose decision is final.
 The officers carrying the ballot boxes will leave the city hall on Mon day morning in ample time to reach the several voting precincts and the <e- turning officers are requested to be at their respective points promptly at s o'clock as it is their duty to open the polls.
