santa Fe, Feb. balancing over
a hook of the statutes OF the legisla-
tnre OF 1856, one realizes that legis-
latres were much of the same tenn
nar and caliher more than fifty years
sgo MS today one is astounded for
instance to find two stringent laws
against gambling, the exceptions be-
no "horse races, chess. drafts and
football. providing that nothing be
bet at the game"
II was before the days of the tam
20 but the lawmakers We're as much

finds on the statute book: mo per-
son shall avail himself of making a
bali because he has obtained a H.
cense to sell liquor" etc. Another act
reads peremptorily That the act
providing and establishing means for
educating the youth Of the territory
of New Mexico. he and the same is
hereby repealed" Another act re-
moves the county seat of Socorro
county from Socorro to Lemitar. II
seems that SOcorrO had voted at the
preceding election against some dem
ocratic candidate and was thus pun
ished for It's unwise indlscretion. one
statute incorporates the Albuquerque
academy, the incorpOrators being
James l.. Inbben. Henry Connolly,
Antonio Sandoval, Kirby Benedict,
Jose Chavez, Julian Perea, Ambrosio
Armiio, s. NJ. Baird, Antonio Jose
0tero, Henry Winslow, Jose Serafin
Ramirez, Francisco Saracino and
Antonio Maria Garcia. One act pro-
yldes that no free negro nor mulat-
to, whether he, she or they be born
free or were emancipated" shall be
permitted to establish themselves in
the territory or stay for more than
thirty days, the penalty being a peni-
tertiary sentence of one to two years,
Marriage of negroes and whites is
prohibited under penitentiary penalty
of two to three years and the minis
ter who performs the ceremony is to
be fined Any owner who frees his
slave within the territory shall be re-
Qulred to transport the negro out of
the territory within thirty days. This
same legislature reduced the annual
salary of the territorial auditor and
treasurer from $500 to $500 a year
and that of probate judges to $3.50
year. 1t was the duty of the pro-
bate judges in those days to report
promptly all Indian depredations. A
very stringent statute prohibited any
store or winery to be open on sun
days 1t was in this legislature that
an act was passed incorporating the
New Mexico Mining & Railroad Co.
and also the Santa Re Literary club.
Speaking of good roads movement, a
memorial was addressed to congress
for military highway from Fort
Massachusetts, to the town of Guada-
mpe on the Conejos river, which was
AZ TINT fine in New MeXicO.

WADE IS IGNORED AT
 CHARLESTON MEET

Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Wade was yesterday elected sec retary and treasurer of the National Association of Commissioners of Agri- culture, which Is in convention at Charleston, S. C.. according to tele- phone message to The Age Herald from Montgomery yesterday. Commissioner Wade in a telegram to his department said that the convention had indorsed the peanut oil bulletin of Emmet A.. Jones, chief of the bureau of immi- grafton and markets.
 The election of Commissioner Wade as secretary and treasurer of the Commissioners of Agriculture associa- tion gives Alabama a good representa- tion in national associations of this character as Emmet A. Jones last week was elected treasurer of the Ma tional Association of Market Officials, which met in convention in Chicago.
 Mr. Jones' bulletin on the peanut oil industry and his continued ham mering at the matter has resulted Tn the construction of a peanut oil mill in Pike county, from which the nrst tank of oil will be shipped early next week. The farmers in that section or the state have taken up vigorously the matter of growing peanuts and MT. Jones says there will be quite an acre age planted next season.

Curling Hair This Way
 Preserves Its Beauty

That dull, dead appearance of the hair no longer troubles the woman who has adopted the silmerine method of k lseeping her tresses in curl. The result is very different from that produced by the drying, devitalizing waving iron The hair appears more naturally wavy beneficial to the life and growth of the hair.
 linuid silmerine and one need not get more than a few ounces. A small quan- tity should be put on before retiring, using for the purpose clean tooth brush, drawing this down the full length of the hair from root to tip. The effect upon arising is delightfully."- sur prising and there is no discoloration, no stickiness, greasiness, nor any other un- pleasant accompainment The hair is quite manageable. no matter how 1t is done up.

NEW WAY ID SELL
 CHRISTMAS SEALS
Hundred Mailed to Ten Thousand Pe0ple-State-
 ment By Dr. Eaves

This year the Jefferson County Anti Tuberculosis association adopted a new method of selling seals. To 10000 people containing 100 Christmas seals with a let ter asking the recipient to return s1 if he bought the seals or to return the seals. A stamped addressed envelope was enclosed for the purpose.
 So far, about 40 per cent have answered with little less than half of these con taining money. pr. George Eaves, secre- tary of the association, yesterday issued the following letter on the matter
 We did a very courageous thing this year. We flung ourselves on the confi- dence and generosity of all the people. Upwards of 10000 letters were sent out, each containing 100 Red Cross seals and an addressed, stamped envelope, so as to not appear to force anyone.
 About half of this number have been acknowledged to date, and of these a little less than half brought money Much more money must come in if the year.
 we are immensely grateful. for the many cordial letters of appreciation with which money was enclosed, and to those also who were unable to purchase but sent back the seals with regrets we would express our thanks.
 We want to hear from the other 5oOC who have received our letter and we beg for more money. so that we may need to beg no more till next Christmas
 We ask those who support the associa- ton with larger means to send. us their pledges for the new year. AZ total of SlO,0O0 beyond the county appropriation is necessary clear of all expenses. May we not get this without personal solicita- tion?
 ''Of those who have sent us checks we ask the favor of making the canceled check our receipt so as to avoid mailing expense.
 "To those who sent currency or coin, we would say. please let us know if you fail to receive acknowledgment before the 22d. Very respectfully,
 GEORGE EAvES, Secretary"

CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS ARE OUT IN TIRONGS

Merchants See Era of Great and Lasting Prosper ity Beginning Rolls Now Practically Normal Though Coal and Iron Products Are Still Being Delivered at Hard
 Time Prices.

so long that there were lots of debts to pay and lots of gaps to fill up in their shattered financial reserves.
 Careful observers, however, think that the situation has almost lighted itself and that when the hole caused by past depression is filled there will be an over flow of money into the channels of local trade which will bring satisfaction even to the most pessimistic.
 Coal and iron men, however, continue to stress one fact which should not be lost sight of. They concede that produc- tion in the district is now practically normal, but insist that nothing like q boom is on. Furthermore, iron. steel and coal now being produced are still sold at hard time figures In other words the companies are still filling contracts which were made at a time when they were glad to get orders from any source and in some cases at almost any price in order to keep the men at work. Sales were made even into next year at the re- duced figures, and it will be months be- fore they will begin to get the war time prices which now prevail.

NOMERGEROF THE
 OVERLAND COMPANY
J. N. Willys Issues Formal Denial of RumOr Cur
 rent In Auto Circles

The Age-Herald is in receipt of tele- gram from J. N. Willys, president of the Willys- Overland company, ernphatically denying the rumor in automobile circles to the effect that the Willys-Overiand company has merged with the General Electric company and the Peerless Truck and Motor corporation.
 rumor that has been circulated all over the United States to the effect that the Willys-Overland company has merged with the above mentioned companies and MT. Willys is anxious to put the stamp of falsehood on this story. The Over land company has not merged with any company and has never contemplated doing so Its policy is one of absolute ownership and the conducting of the Overland affairs independent of all other corporations in the motor car industry.
 No one can account for the rumor gaining ground with such rapidity and the overland company is extremely anx- ious to have this assertion by anyone branded as false and without foundation in fact

J. J. Okeffin of New Orleans, was also a victim of the same robber who must have piled his trade on the Pullman or on the street in the vicinity of the Louisville and Nashville station. He likewise lost a pocketbool1 containing $50. Like all the rest he could furnish no clew to the probable thief and did not remember anyone sitting near him or entering into a conversation with him after leaving the train. All of the men missed their pocketbooks just after alighting from the train.
 Detective headquarters have several men working on the case, although they have no information to give out as to the progress they have made thus far. The numerous thefts of poclSetbooks have aroused the men and they are doing all in their power to cope with the situation. The department is short of men on ac- count of the dismissal of four of the detectives few weeks ago. Only one man has been put on in place of the four men, Chief of Detectives Shirley is working his present staff night and day.

Three pocketbooks were stolen either by pickpockets or some clever thief working on Pullman in the Louisville and Nash5 vile station yesterday morning when one of the fast trains from Montgomery ar rived at the station. Clifford Golf of New Orleans reported to police head quarters that he had been robbed Of his purse containing $2s. He' could not give the detectives any clew by which they might catch the thief.
 J. E. Lightfoot of Nashville, another passenger on the same train, discovered that his purse had been "lifted' either on the Pullman or shortly after he a1ighted from the train in Birmingham. The thief secured $50 and a number of papers of no particular value. He did not remember anyone who looked sus- picious on the train nor in Birmingham. He could not say just when he lost the pocketbook and how he lost it.

The Christmas shoppers downtown yes- terday made Birmingham look like old times. Beautiful weather brought them out in throngs and the merchants were wearing the smile that won't come off.
 They are becoming more and more con vinced every day that the tide has turned and that Birmingham is about to enter upon a new era of great and lasting pros perity.
 No one has been able to make an ac- ceptable estimate of the value of the pay rolls being distributed in the Birmingham district now each month, However, the pay roll of the Tennessee company alone is supposed now to be approximately million dollars a month. Other coal and iron companies are operating on pro- portionate scale and their pay rolls are probably proportionate.
 However, everyone recognizes that there was big hole to fill Labor had been on short time and out of work for

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN EXPORT RULES No Longer Necessary To Have An Agent at
 the Port

An important change in the hand ling of goods for export trade has been made by the department of com interior shipper having an agent at the seaports is obviated. Birmingham is classed as a support and shipments under the new ruling can be made di- rect from Birmingham to foreign coun- tries by filing with the collector of custom at the seaboard a declarati of the shipment. Upon arrival of the goods at the port of exportation they will be certified to by the collector and the goods will be delivered to the ves- sel named to attend to exportation.
 There is quite a large quantity of goods for export trade shipped from Birmingham and the change will prove of importance. The instructions for shipments read in part as follows:
 shipments from interior points for eXportation: The shipper must prepare the original export declaration and at- tached carriers extract and deliver both forms to the carrier with the goods to accompany the same to the port of exportation.
 of the shipper prefers, he may place the original declaration, but not the carriers extract, in a sealed envelope addressed to the collector of customs with his name indorsed thereon and the fact of sealing noted on the dec laration and deliver it with the extract to the carrier If goods are consigned to an agent at the seaboard for trans portation the shipper may mali the declaration and extract properly pre- pared direct to the agent.
 Upon arrival of the goods at the port of exportation, the carrier must immediately deliver the original dec- larations, sealed and unsealed and the carriers extracts to the collector of>eustoms who will retain the original and certify the extract and return ii to the carrier, vessel, or party named to attend to eXportation.
 Exporting vessel or carrier: Care destined for foreign countries or non- contiguous territories not accompanied by certified extracts or original dec. larations, as clearance will not be granted until the export declarations have been filed with the collector or bond given to produce the same. The certified extracts must be attached tc the vessels manifest or car waybil when presented for clearance
 Expectations from seaboard or bor- der ports: The shipper at the seaboard or border may deliver or mail the orig inal declaration and extract to the col lector, who will retain the original and certify the extract and deliver il to the shipper, vessel or party named to attend to exportation.'
