DRESSED
AND TALKS OF ''H|NTS"
Young Woman in the Front Seat of
"Seing Washington"
Car.
Languidly Consents to Tell Reporter
Some of the Happenings
Of a Day.

In the elegant vernacular of the day,
she was dressed like a house afire and
as she sat in the first seat of the Seeing
Washington automobile she looked Like
million dollars worth of ready money,
wrapped up and ready for distribution.
Like some other young women in Wash
inston, she sits in the front of the big
auto as sort of decoy. A bright young
man comes along and he says to him.
self: IT will spend 80 cents and take a
trip around the city in that low-backed
car. and maybe fortune will favor me
and this vision of beauty will give me
the gladsome 90"
He always loses, because the vision of
beauty gets languidly out of the car just
before it starts, and when the bright
young man can't escape unless he wants
to make a ten-foot jump to the street.
interviewer Is Repulsed.
She glanced up languidly as the inter-
viewer approached her.
IF you get fresh with me-" she an
nounced, Il will call cop"
The interviewer replied feverishly:
"A great and powerful newspaper
wants to find out what the rlibberneck

She was slightly mollihed.
Say" she said, IF you could get all
the things them hints
"What?' asked the interviewer.
Hints she repeated. impatiently.
Amt you never heard of hints?'
Il presume said the interviewer, that
that is an abbreviation of the word him
terland.'
IT dunno" she drawled. but believe
me, kid, they do get off some'rich ones.

There was a man climbed in this car
two days ago while it was waitin'.
leave 1t to You. There are signs all
around this car sayin' that it's for seein
Washington. But did it bother this mar? :?
No, Stree! He climbed in and paid his
90 cents and then after the car started he
says to the showfer:
Put me of. at 26th and M streets
And. honest, he got mad as Dutch
man at a prohibition picnic when the
the end of the ride
She paused for moment in thought
There was a nice old couple got on
here couple of days ago. They were
hints, too. He had on a pair of boots
that was made out of elephants hide. L
guess. They was thick enough.
Just before the car started he leaned
over and said to me:
would you mind if 1 asked you
question:?
No 1 says.
Me n my wife he says. wanted
to find out if we couldn't have the man
point out Jim Smiths house over in
Georgetown. We uster know him, but
he's moved away.
"'Can you beat it? Can't you see the
guide locatin' all the Jim Smiths on the
trip sos they can find their man!
Certainly Was "Poser."
Then there was guy that took trip
a couple days ago, SO the guide told me,
and took look at that statue of Gen.
Jackson. You know the one, where the
horse is standin' on his hind legs like
circus pony.
"The hint that was lookin' at the statue
almost fell off his seat.
Gee he says, how do you suppose
he ever posed for that?
At this moment the starter gave the
high sign and the vision of gladness
slowly dismounted.
There sure is some boobs In this
world" she concluded as She started
away.

TOO HOT TO ARGUE"
ISPLEA OF CONDUCTOR
But Woman Insists on Being Taken
Out 9th Street Before
Leaving Car.

Madam. it's too hot to argue" Two
bells were given by the conductor and
the car started.
The foregoing took place on a crowded
District line car of the City and Suburb
an railway. as only such cars can be
crowded. a hot afternoon this week at
9th and G streets northwest. The ar
gument between a woman passenger and
the conductor was the result of a tie-up
in the traffic of cars on street beyond
11th street northwest. Owing to the
delay cars were run down 11th street to
E, thence to 9th street and back again
to G street, where they proceeded out
to Maryland by the way of the City and
Suburban line.
AS there are cars on the 9th street
line which also go to the District line
some confusion was caused when per-
sons boarded the District line car of the
City and Suburban line when they in
tones the conductor. whose collar had
long before wilted because of his work
over the delay in traffic and in his ef-
forts to see that the railway company
was not beaten on any fares. an
nounced. This car goes to the District
line at Mount Rainier Possibly it was
the long wait for car that had made
them nervous, or else they only heard
the conductor say District line, but many
persons boarded the car, to later find
they were on the wrong one.
Wanted to Go Out 9th Street.
Il want to go out 9th street" said a
woman passenger.
"I called out that this car goes to the
District line at Mount Rainier" said the
conductor.
well, I don't want to go there;.I want
to go out 9th street." said the passenger.
Madam. / do not regulate the route of
the cars, and therefore cannot take you
out 9th street." the conductor replied.
While the passenger endeavored to per
suade the conductor that he ought to
take her out 9th street the railway en-
ploy. in a polite but tired tone said,
Madam, it's too hot to argue"
The passenger finally alighted from the
car and with two hard pulls on the bell
rope the conductor gave the signal for
the car to proceed to the District line
at Mount Rainier

 Done

In the general election last Tuesday, St. Clair county elected full democratic ticket
 Many other counties in Alabama die likewise. However, St. Clair citizens are rejoicing. For 1t had been 22 years since that county had put in office democrats without exception.
 Yesterday in Birmingham there were several citizens of the Seventh congress sional district in Birmingham. Horace AL ford and P. H. Roberson of St. Clair. brought the news from that county.
 For the first time in 22 years" said Mfr. Afford, "St. Clair elected full democratic ticket. That was due to the fact, it is probable, that we had fine candidates. There was Burnett, Bradford, Lee and Roberson. all good men. We are rejoicing over our victory and are determined that never again shall republican serve us.,'
 F. E. ST. John of Cullman, who, accord Ing to indications, was beaten in his ef- forts to serve the Third senatorial dis trict in the legislature, was visitor. MT.

KITCHEN ID SUCCEED OSCAR UNDERWOOD Burnett Says He Will Not Be as Satisfactory a
 Leader

According to John l.. Burnett, demos cratic congressman of the Seventh con gressional district, who was fin Birrning- ham yesterday, it is q foregone conclusion that Claude Kitchin, member of Congress from North Carolina. will succeed Oscar W. Underwood as leader of the dominant party in the House.
 While MT. Burnett agrees that Mir. Kftchin is a forceful and fluent speaker and very popular member of the House, he expresses belief that he will be unable --that any other man would be--to re- spond as satisfactorily to every call on him as leader as Mir Underwood for sew eral years responded.
 However" said Mir. Burnett, 'the task of MT. Kitchin will be easier than was that Of MT. Underwood. During the tern as leader of Mir. Underwood, the demo cratic majority was Al. and as result of it's size. unwieldy. The democratic ma 1ority after March will be 24 This vii make of the democrats compact and z militant organization, and one easily to bt led"
 MT. Burnett expressed his gratitude ir that the democrats had returned him fol the ninth successive term. He won hi. victory very handily with an increased majority.

FRANK DEEDMEYER
 IS IN BIRMINGHAM
Formerly Consul at Chem nitz, Germany-Will Prac-
 tice Law Here

Frank Deedmeyer of this city, who re-
 gently resigned from the American con
 sular service. arrived in Birmingham yes-
 terday and with Mrs. Deedmeyer Is reg
 istered at the Tutwiler hotel. He says
 in this city at later date and that he
 and his wife are much pleased to return to Birmingham to live.
 It will be remembered that MT. Decd
 meyer was stationed at Chemnitz Ger many, when the European war broke out, and that he resigned because of mistreat- ment of his wife by the Germans. He declined to discuss the war or his resig-
 nation, saying that his position was fully explained In the article published in The Age-Herald several weeks ago. He
 stated, however, that the war would make for better business in the United States
 and that the demand for American food supplies. raw material and finished pro-
 ducts would increase rapidly while the imports would decrease, and that as a consequence many things heretofore im- ported would have to be made at home.
 He predicted that new branches of man.
 ufacture would be created and that by
 the time the war was over so much prop
 erty and stores will have been destroyed,
 which will require immediate replacing
 that the capacity of the United States
 would be taxed to its limits to meet the demands.
 He said that the European manufacture ing nations will not be In q position to meet the demand.
 MT. Deedmeyer stated that in all his travels he had seen no city that com pared in the beauty of it's residential sec ton with Birmingham, and that it's fame has spread all over Europe. Birming- ham Is also known, he states, as n great coal and steel center.
 Mir. Deedmeyer, though lifelong dem- ocrat, went into the consular service un- der President Taft after civil service examination. He has had four appoint ments in five years, having been sta toned In Canada, Italy. Austria and Ger
 many. He said he had visited nearly all of the principal cities of Europe, yet had seen few hotels that compared with the Tutwier in taste and beauty of it's ap- pointments.

PLAN ID ESTABLISH SERVICE BETWEEN
 MOBILE AND FRISCO
|. N. Hibberd Here in Inter- est of PIan-Steamer Will Sail for San Francisco
 Week From Tomorrow

I. N. Hibberd. general manager of tn. Sudden Christensen line, with offices in San Francisco. Is in Birmingham in the interest of a service which his company will inaugurate shortly between Mobile and San Francisco via the Panama canal.
 Until tho trade has ben worked up there will be only monthly sailngs, but should the cargo justify more frequent sailings from Mobile additional ships would be put on. he said.
 Mir. Hibberd is enthusiastic over the op- portunlty for trade expansion which the service will afford Birmingham. and pointed out last night how Birmingham might take advantage Of the opportunity to enter another field.
 The Peter II. crow. Il 420o-to ton steamer, left Baltimore tonight" said Ifr. Hibberd last night and will reach Mobile Thurs day. sailing for San Francisco about a week from Monday. Birmingham has not furnished as much of the initial cargo as I expected, but I think that the trade can and will bo worked up.
 "The service will put Birmingham on an equal footing with New York. which Is not the case at present. and will enable fnhnntactufers or tile BlfHilnenhm ulStrick | to put down their products on the Pacific coast cheap or cheaper than those in the north and east.
 T have found . peculiar situation in regard to rates to tidewater. The rate on pig Iron to Mobile for export is s1 per ton. If the iron Is 10 remain in Mobile the rate is $i IS, but if 1t Is for the Pa cile coast the rate la $2.b. This appears to be a discrimination against Birming- ham in efforts to reach the Pacific coast. new market which the Panama canal has just opened up.
 Here is an opportunity for Birmingham to enter a new field. It Is interesting be- cause it has never been done before. and Is a constructive work, 1 shall continue to push 1t and am confident of eventual success"
 MT. Hibberd left last night for Mobile. He will return tomorrow morning and will be at the Tutwilcr.
