He stated that success depended on our motives and that the Jewish New Year is placed by wise tradition at the beginning

The negro stated that he was unable to pay the fine and therefore he was given an additional 40 days in excess of the 12 months on the roads and to pay the cost of the court, which will undoubtedly add few months to his sentence.

NEARLY 200 WIPED OFF DOCKET SINCE OPENING OF FALL TERM OF COURT-PARTIAL REPORT BY GRAND JURY

Judge Harrington P. Hefin of the sec ond vision of the criminal court kept up his rapid stride started earlier in the week of disposing of nonjury misdemeanors by knocking 5s cases off the docket yes terday. Judge Hefin has disposed ). nearly 200 cases so far this week in his division of the court.
 On Monday Judge Hehin cleared away 40 cases and his record for Tuesday was f7. Wednesday Judge Hefiin cleared the docket of 50 more cases and his record yesterday touched the high water mark with 56
 There is quite number of nonjury cases left on the docket, said Judge Heflin. but at the rate We are going at present the congestion of the docket Is bound to slacken in the Il gar future
 Few of the cases before Judge Heain attracted much attention, as the majority were of negroes and their 'rI- cidental troubles from the promis.uous use of odd weapons on their friends an- atomy, but the trial of Joseph Harris, a white man. charged with having assaulted his wife. resulted in a fine of $50.

Maj William c. Weston, one of the best known architects in the south an nounces that on October 1 he will remove home. He has some important projects in prospect in Detroit and the outlook was so flattering that he could not resist the temptation to sever the ties formed in Birmingham during his 15 years resi- dence. Major Weston has leased his Bir- mingham home to A. H. ("Rick') Wood ward
 Major Weston more than any other one man is the real creator of Birmingham's minghams skyscraper office buildings and thus leaves monuments here to him self which will be pointed to with pride scores of years hence.
 Beginning in 1901, he designed the To- story Woodward building. which was be- gun in that year and which was the first steel frame building erected in Birming- ham. Office buildings then came in reg ular succession and as an indication oI the part he played in creating the Biz mingham sky line. Major Weston de- SlBneu Lle bTOWT- NfiTX DullulHR, tne Title Guarantee building. the First Ma tional Bank building The Age Herald building and the towering Jefferson County Bank building.
 His activities have extended far beyond the range of skyscrapers, however for he designed the beautiful new Temple EmanuEl in Birmingham the First State Bank building in Columbus, Miss, while plans for sonic of the most beautiful res- idences in the south were prepared by him. Among Birmingham residences he designed are those of W. s. Brown. T. F. Wimberly, Otto Marx. John l.. Kaul and Bracewood, the country home of E. w. Barrett. His artistic genius is also shown In the decorations of the Birmingham Newspaper club.
 Major Weston takes with him the well wishes of hundreds of friends. His bdsi- ness connections here are such that he will probably make frequent return visits to Birmingham.

far as I know as to what he thought he was drinking nor did he tell anyone where he had obtained it.
 From what can be learned it is thought Glover wanted to take drink ana as the alcohol was near he decided to drink that instead of whisky. Mrs. Glover also took a portion of 1t and swooned before she realized her mistake. According to statement made by Dr. Charles Whelan the alcohol which caused their death was taken sometime in the afternoon, not in the morning.
 In the absence of Coroner Spain, Tom Mccullough, who Is acting coroner, ap- pointed pr. Charles Whelan to investl- gate and report on the death of Mir. and Mrs. Glover. His report to Mccullough is that MT. and Mrs. Alcorn Glover came to their death by methyl alcohol poisoning. taken by accident'
 MT. and Mrs. Glover had been residents of Birmingham for sometime and MT. Glover was an active practitioner of law for number of years. The couple had no children and all the relatives of both live out of the state. The remains of the deceased are being held at John pending word from relatives.

HOT AIR FURNACES
 TO BE INSPECTED
One of Steps in Fire Prevention Taken by Chief Middleton-Had Re-
 suits Last Year

The remarkably low record for fire losses in the city of Birmingham dur ing the past two months is attributed largely by Fire Chief Syd Middleton to the rigid inspection of buildings as to the accumulation of inflammable trash To further safeguard losses from fire and the elimination of fire risks three special inspectors will be put to work Monday to inspect the furnaces in the residence part of the city to see if they are in proper condition and free from unnecessary danger. According to the chief after similar inspection last year only two fires occurred from defective furnaces and he asks the cooperation of the citizens in helping to eliminate all bad fire risks.

Beauty of Dining Room
 Aided by Crystalware
Suggestion to Homemakers in Ar ranging Set on Side
 Table

A side table properly set in the dining room adds to the rooms attractiveness. Many people mar the appearance of e room by loading down the table with too much ware. Often dining room side table Is made to look like a counter in the store on bargain sale day. Most women possess or should possess, a matched water set. Such a set makes the side table an object of admiration when the glasses and pitcher are pret- tily arranged.
 A good idea, especially for the woman who entertains or who seeks to make home beautiful for her own family, is to embroider a centerpiece upon which to set the pitcher and a small dolly for each tumbler.
 Venetian gold-trimmed crystalware is the best for a display of this kird and to have ones own initial on each piece is the height of fashion and TO- fjnement. Such set is now provided for readers by this paper and may tc secured at merely nominal expense by following directions given in display announcements and in the Water Set Coupons appearing daily in another col umn.
