There Is also a great excess Of DO

the comparative prices Of potatoes in
Germany and Boston n few weeks ago.
Early in November the maximum
wholesale price OF potatoes, fixed by
the government. in Germany was from
10 to 42 cents a bushel. In Boston on
the same dav potatoes sold for so to 20
cents a bushel wholesale. The maxi

for retailing potatoes was IS cents above
the wholesale figures. In Boston the
price was 90 cents above the wholesale
figures.
Germany has so many potatoes that
to keep them from spelling they are

OF potato chips was 30 cents a pound.
In Germany on the same day it was

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, July 24.-tspecisi) Nothing could more aptly exempIify the adage that 'betwixt the lip and the cup oft occurs a slip" thnt the fact that the carefully prepared programme of the Legislative politicians. which In the beginning appeared 70 certain of success, is in such periI0us shape that its complete deranEement and partial defeat seem assured.
 As a result of the various secret caucuses held prior to the beginning of the session by lobbists and repre- sentatives of the prohibition faction, 1t was determined, first, to put through with as much rapidity as possible the bills prepared by the three recess com mittees. order another recess. and after of sweet myrtle. retire to rest on their honors.
 But the politicians failed to take
 into consideration the element of
 human nature which aggressively
 displays itself whenever legisla-
 tion affecting "pocketbooks" Is at
 tempted. They are in consequence
 surprised because of the strenuous
 opposition which has asserted itself
 to the passage of the revenue and
 Judiciary bills. and means their
 probable emasculation. Because of
 this opposition and the panic into
 which the camp of the lobbyists has
 been thrown, no one is thinking of
 the date of recess. To say that

 The main salon in the original con- struction was lined with staterooms. When she was converted into an ex- cursion steamer later these were taken out giving a clear sweep across the big deck. part of which was floored for dancing. the rest being covered with folding deck chairs.

 THE "CORGAS BILL"
Measure Recalled From Public Health and Placed in Hands of Commit

Montgomery, July 24-(Special) )-After q sharp and spirited fight the progressive faction of the Alabama Medical associa- ton today achieved a signal triumph in recalling from the house committee on public health the "Corgas bill' and recom- mending it to the house committee on education. The progressives won the con- test by a vote of 45 to 25. This is be- lieved to be an indication of the senti- ment of the house in favor of the pas sage of the bill.
 pr. c. s. Yarbrough of Auburn, chair man of the committee on public health, led the fight for the recall of the meas ure He charged that his committee. 10 members of which are physicians was 'sta cked," and that there was no possi- ble chance to reach an agreement on the bill. since every effort to reach a vote on the measure had resulted in tie.
 Representative Smith of Crenshaw de- nied that the committee was stacked. and declared that pr. Yarbrough's charge was untrue"
 'T am not stacked for or against any body" said Representative Smith. "and I want the gentleman from Lee to know this" He charged that Dr. Yarbrough had tied the vote in the committee.
 "Yes, and I had a perfect right to vote." retorted the Lee county representative.
