DEPARTMENT BUT PROVIDED NO SALARIES:
 ERROR IS AN OVERSIGHT


 Montgomery, April 2O.-(Special. Did the legislature of Alabama in enacting the law creating what is known as the state department of produce and immi- grafton, purposely leave out an appropria- tion for salaries of the department or was that "mere detail' but an oversight of the lawmakers?
 Attorney General William L. Martin does not attempt to answer that ques- ton, nor does he attempt to speculate on the legislative intent in rendering an official opinion the authority of the state auditor to issue warrants in pay ment of the salaries of Emmet A. Jones, head of the produce and immigration bu- reau, and his stenographer
 The attorney general holds that there is no authority under the law for the payment of salaries of the department, and, as consequence, Auditor M. c. All good has refused to issue warrants for such purpose. There is a provision for the payment of expenses of the depart

OF INTEREST TO MOTORISTS
AUTO MANS NOVEL SCHEME


For ingenuity in advertising, the ef-
forts of H. G. Strong of the Strong
Crittenden Company, Chandler dealers
in Rochester, N. ", must be awarded
the palm. Although firm believer in
decorative windows and other snars
for prospective owners of motor cars,
Mr.. Strong states that his latest stunt
has proved the biggest winner of them
all.
Recently the books of the company
showed that enough orders were on
hand for Chandler cars, to necessitate
delivery of one car each day until June
l. Starting a week ago and planned
to run each morning in Rochester pa
pers, are photographs of the = persons
who bought ears the. day before. One
photograph appears each day with the
caption Here's picture of yester-
days lucky Chandler man. What is
your datef" All Rochester now turns
interestedly to its morning paper these
days, to find out which fellow citizen
has been the most recent recruit to the
six-eylinder ranks.
According to Mr.. Strong, the only
objection to his scheme is beginning to
appear at the present time. As he has
recently made two and three deliveries
of ears on the same day, he will be
forced to run group pictures each day
in order to carry out the original plan.

PLANNED tn EXPEDITE
SERVICE BOARDS WORK
Several Pending Bills, Which Have the
Commissions Approval, Are In
tended to Remove Many Causes of
Complaints by Citizens

Several bills amending the Public
Service Commission law have been in
trodueed in the Legislature and in the
event of their passage, it is held by
their sponsors, then would materially
aid in expediting the work of the Com
mission and would remove many causes
of complaints that come from parties
interested in eases.
One of them does away with the me-
eessity of obtaining approval of the
JOINT use of poles. Another precludes
the necessity of having every contract
that public service company makes
with municipality first approved by
the Commission. The amendment,
however, retains the Commission s
regulatory control over competition and
retains the same control over service
and rates which have been made the
subject of contract with munich.

Another amendment gives the Com

the parties, is regulated by another
BILL Under the present act, the State
is obliged to pay.-the witness fees and
mileage of all witnesses summoned un-
der the subpoena of the Commission,
even though they be party to the
proceeding.
Another amendment gives the Com
mission power to suspend rates pro-
posed to be charged, pending the de-

These proposed amendments have the
approval of the Commission.
A bill will also likely be introduced
amending the crossing provisions so as
to do away with the necessity of ad-

those between the railroads, street rail
ways and highways, but it proposes to

AN EMPTY STOMACH

during our waking hours the stom.

good physiological reason why it
should not be. Thus the universal
custom of taking meals about five hours

has long been puzzling. But recent
studies of the still mysterious action
