edence over her less favored sister!
Well, the truth of the matter prob
ably is that when the Civil Service
commissioners out in Topeka made
the rating they did not use the word
appearances" to mean simply beauty
or sprettiness. They used the word
rather to indicate the general i'm
preston, favorable or otherwise,
that a woman makes on the behold
er. And when you look on the mat
ter in this way the conclusion is not
so unjust. For a woman's appearance
is usually fairly good index of her
character. The girl who has ability,
the girl of good judgment the girl
of good health and sound intellect
does not have to tell you of these
facts. She shows it as clearly as the
appearance of the sky indicates the
state Of the weather.

we had an opportunity to return
TO Japan something like five hundred
thousand dollars. because that sum re-
manned in the hands of the govern
ment after all the claims Of American
citizens arising from the destruction
of property in Japan at the time of
an intended revolution had been paid.
said Mr.. Seward.
1T was in the latter part Of the ad-
ministration of President Andrew
johnson. After the payment OF all the
claims put in by Americans had been
made. IL was discovered that con-
siderable sum of money still remain
ed in the hands Of the government II
was in gold and 1t was under the
charge of the disbursing agent of the
Treasury Department, George L.
Baker. 1t may interest you to know
that Mr.. Baker was the father OF the
banker. George F. Baker. He was a
man exceptionally well qualified for
responsibilities of that kind.
Il recalled that my father, then
Secretary of State, thought we should
pay this money back to Japan. and
explained that action by saying that
Japan had paid us a larger indemnity
than was needed. Mr.. Baker urgently
advised against covering this gold
into the Treasury Department. He also
was convinced that we could not re-
turn the money to Japan unless au-
thorized to do so by a resolution OF
Congress. Here. then, was a peculiar
situation. We had a half million IN
gold to which we had no legal right.

and IL that were done Japan would be
sure to entertain the most friendly
feelings for the United States.
"ln an indirect way. Japan received
information that we had this gold, and
my father hoped that she would COM
municate with the government, In
timating that IL the uneXpended bal
ance of the indemnity were returned
the action would be greatly appre-
ciated, not because of the amount of
the money, but because il would show
a friendly feeling for japan by the
United States.
Congress. however. could not be
persuaded to pass the resolution, ana
when my father retired from the Of

was still in the possession of the

we returned to China the unexpended
part of the indemnity China paid to
us on account of the Boxer uprising"

Saturday, October 80, 1918.
This is an exceedingly unfortunate day,
according to the reading of astrology.
Saturn and Jupiter are in malefic aspect
and Neptune is threatening.
There is a sign interpreted as forbod-
ing trouble for coal mines. Accidents and
strikes are prognosticated.
Labor troubles In which women are
conspicuous are predicted. The Middle
West and New England may be scenes
of terrible riots.
and purveyors of trifles meant for fem
mime adornment are subject to conditions
more or less sinister.
Increase of nervous diseases due to de-
spondency and strain is foretold. Asy-
lums and sanitoriums will multiply In
this country as well as in Europe.
The sea will cause loss and sorrow dur
ing the next few months. but while 1t
may bring problems for diplomats storms
will cause more deaths than war, II Is
predicted.
This may be caused by strike conditions
Colorado has an i'll omen that over
shadows its mines, but great discov-
cry of mineral is porphesied.
Painters and sculptors may experience
many appointments. but national
achievements of the highest standard are
Indicated.
A period Of extraordinary effort in
dramatic fields is probable. Ventures out
side the commercial world will attract
attention and eventually affect the the
ater's permanent standards
This should be an suspicious time for
the young. who desire aid or direction.
Under this changing government of the
stars Is an unverying sign that points to
larger opportunities and better possibill-
ties for the newer generation.
Moral. regeneration is indicated for q
large class of men and women. One OF
the effects of the upheavsls of war will
be a spiritual awakening that reaches
the United states and finds fullest ex-
preston in Canada.
Persons whose birthdate ii Is should
guard against accident. Both men and
women may have many financial ankle
ties during the coming yearS
Children born on this day may find
many ups and downs In lie These sub
jects OF Scorpio are likely to be FREQUENT
victims to falls and disasters of all sorts
Their principal ruling planet is Mars.

NORDMAN GETS FIRST RELIEF IN
 OVER A YEAR
Pains Felt Like Iron Bands Were Drawn Around
 His Head

Everybody in Bessemer is either per- scnally acquainted with or has heard of C..J. H Workman, salesman for the Cash Dry Goods company MT Workman Is one of the most popular business men in Ressemer and his word for truth and integrity is unquestioned. In a con- versation with the Tanlac man yester- day, he said:
 q have received more benefit from Tanlac than all the medicine I have ever taken in my life combined. and for the first time for over year l am able to get a good nights rest and enjoy square meal. In fact, this Tan lac just seemed to give me a new lease on life and I feel better and stronger fn every way.
 Before I began taking Tanlac l was ell run down and not fit for any thing. I felt so langud and debiltated that 1t was all I could do to keep on my feet I don't suppose anyone ever suffered with headaches I did. At times 1t would feel like an iron band was drawn tight around my head. I almost shudder when I think of these headaches and I realize that the relief fl om this one thing alone is worth 100 times the price of the medicine.
 ''1 tell you it was a miserable feeling for a business man to have to contend
 
 condition and recuperate my strength I tried practically everything l could think of. Nothing seemed to help me ore particle and I was discouraged be- cause l Just kept going from bad to worse.
 About this time l heard of Tanlac and began reading what others were saying about the new medicine. I won dered if it could be true and sure enough 1t was Tanlac must be fine tlood medicine, too, because my com plexion has cleared up I want my friends to know what 1t has done for me because I know there are hundreds of people who need this medicine"

Arabic reached the state department by cable through Ambassador Gerard today soon after the arrival of mail report closing affidavits of the ships survivors.
 No arrangement had been made to- night for publication of the German com munication. Officials indicated however, that 1t had been described accurately in a general way by Berlin press dispatches which said the imperial government an- rounced that the ship had been torpedoed by a German submarine commander who thought she was to attack him; expressed regret at the loss of American lives and proposed to submit the question of rep aration to The Hague.
 President Wilson and Secretary Lan- sing are now in a position to consider the course to be pursued by the United States In connection with the German explanation they will consider assurances given since the Arabic incident that Ger man submarine commanders are under instructions to destroy no more liners without warning.
 long, embodying the instructions under which German submarine officers have been operating. These are included, it is said to demonstrate that the command CTS were expected to take all proper pre- cautions consistent with their own safety to avoid killing noncombatants.
 The sufficlency of the German excuse for attacking the Arabic is believed to hinge in some degree on the movements of the liner just before the explosion.

Officials Are Incredulous

Lenox, Mass, September 9.-When word of the request for the recall of Dr. Con- stantin T. Dumba Austro-Hungarian am- bassador. was taken to the summer quar- ters of the embassy here tonight it was said that pr. Dumba was not there. His secretary. Baron Stephen Hedry de Hedri, said that he believed the ambassador was in New York. He thought pr. Dumba might return to Lenox tomorrow, but tion of his intended movements.
 Officials at the embassy expressed doubt as to the accuracy of the Washington dispatches regarding the recall
 Ut cannot be believed" one said. add ing that day or two would prove the unrelia bility of the report.
 Information that the announcement was made by Secretary of State Lansing also was received with apparent incred- ulity In the absence of pr. Dumba, it was said, no sta atement would be issued

 "The report that Dr. Dumba' S recall has been asked for Is surprising that
 "The letter in question:" continued t tion carried by Archibald, was written from New York and the embassy in Lenox had nothing to do with 1t; but in all of Dr. Dumbas conversations with his secretaries here there was nothing that he said that would afford the slightest intimaton of any action which could lead to complications with the United States government.

WOULD APPLY FINE
 TO SATISFY MORTGAGE

Montgomery, SeptemDer 9-(Special.) Out of the judiciary committee of the sem ate this afternoon there came bill of Senator Judge providing that the amount of fine assessed against an individual con- victed of having disposed illegally of cotton warehouse receipts shall be applied to the satisfaction of any mortgage which might have existed against the cotton stored.
 The bill will effect the uniform ware house receipt bill enacted some days ago, but Senator Judge thought it advisable to express his thought in the form of \ new bill rather than attempt to amend the warehouse bill.
 Criticism against the warehouse bill, as is remembered, was based on the fear that it's provisions would vitiate the lien of landlords Senator Judges bill will have tendency to mitigate that evil if in fact 1t really exists.

OSCAR WELLS HEARD AT FIRST MEETING OF BANK CLERKS.
Birmingham Chapter of the American Institute of Banking Begins Its
 Winter Work

Oscar Wells, president of the First National bank, was the principal speaker at the buffet luncheon given last night at the Tutwiler by the Birmingham chapter of the American Institute of Banking. The occasion was the resump- ton of the meetings of the chapter after the summer adjournment and It's pur- pose was to plan the work of the chap ter for the fall and winter months. There were about 70 members of the chapter in attendance out of a total membership of so which is taken as an indication of the interest in the local chapter.
 The subject that has been designated by the American institute for discussion and research during the term opened last night Is. Finance and Banking" and all members of the chapter will be re- quired to stand an examination at the close of the term. During the course of his remarks, MT. Wells referred fre- quently to the above study and promised luncheon to the members of the chap ter who graduated.
 In his address, MT. Wells emphasized the necessity of efficiency and stated that the course of study offered by the institute gave every bank clerk the op- portunity to become efficient. He stated the embryo banker should not be simply satisfied with doing his allotted task we'll, but that he should find out the reason for it, and that the institute afforded him this opportunity.
 He stated that 20 years ago no such opportunity was available to the bank clerk and that as consequence many remained stationary and never rose above the position of clerk, but under the new conditions every one had an equal chance He recommended that they specialize on given subjects and that they should learn to take the initiative and think for themselves. He concluded by. expressing uates at the close of the years work and that he would take pleasure In en- tertaining all those who received a diploma
