 You may gather an idea that he has small route, to length because the office buildings in the downtown section are within a radius of six blocks. But, he must climb countless steps and deposit i paper in practically every office in all the buildings. During the baseball seal son it s even worse than that, for he has to leave two or three Age Heralds in many of the offices.
 Clay says that in the summer his route almost doubles, so many are the people who know The Age-Herald to be the only reliable publication for sporting news in Birmingham, or Alabama, for that mat ter.
 Clay plays baseball himself oeca sionally and also devotes some of his time to foot ball. when it is in season. On the dia- mond he plays in right field and Is a member of the Lakeview team. During the football season he plays quarterback. He IS jlst the kind of a fellow who can play quarterback. for upon the quarter back deyolyes the most arduous duties of the game. The quarter must know all the signals an6 be able to snap them and the ball quickly. He must be the quickest thinker on the team, for opposed to him are Il other fellows, who are

Carranza Willing to Aid Foreigners Who Wish to Leave the Country.
 Many to Leave

Washington. April I2.-GcneraI Car ranya informed American Consul Sil- Iiman at Vera Cruz today that he would furnish n train for Americans desiring to leave Mexico City. He will permit passenger train from Vera Cruz to proceed far 0metuscO, a0 miles east of Mexico City. where the Americans would he picked up.
 That action grew out Of the effort of the United States to secure the neutraliza- tion of the railroad between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, Although unwilling to make any permanent arrangement, Gen eial Calranza now has expressed de- sire to aid foreigners who are anxious to reach the sea coast
 Many Americans and foreigners m Tam pico are planning to leave and the trans port Sumner at Galveston was ordered to Tampico to bring them back.
 In it's summary of reports from Mex ico today the state department said the outcome of an attack Acaponota by Carranza forces was not definitely known.
 Abandonment of the proposed Villa at- tack on Nuevo Laredo was reported from the border.
 The Villa agency announced receipt of this statement from Diaz Lomardo, min- lister for foreign affairs. explaining the recent mining decree;
 The provisional government does moi mean to confiscate the mines, but to re- establish in effect some provisions of the old mining laws which provisions are universally adopted and enforced and which consist in declaring the forfeiture Of a mining property when, without justi- fled cause it is not developed or operated within a given time, or when the owners of said property fail in the payment oi the taxes"

PRIZE COURT MACHINERY
 OF ENGLAND TOO SLOW

Washington. April 12.-The state depart ment is preparing further representations to the British government requesting a speeding up of the machinery of the prize courts So far not single American ship or cargo has passed through the British prize courts. although many have been held for months.
 One typical case is that of the steam ship Antilla, tied up at Dundee, since February 26, unable to get before prize court. Her cargo consisted chiefly of cattle food consigned to Sweden. Both the Danish and British consulates in New York certified that everything in the An tillas cargo was covered by the Swedish embargo and that none of the goods could be exported from Sweden to Germany.
 The state department felt that the Brit ish authorities should have ordered imme- date release of the vessel and her cargo.
 Nearly the same conditions are sad to exist in the case of the American steamer Joseph w. Fordney, whose owners today appealed to the state department for her release. She was taken into Kirkwall, although according to evidence before the department, she should not have beea de- tained.
 Notice was received today from the British government that in case contra band is found in the cargo of detained ships all of the expenses of loading and unloading and aockage will be charged to the shippers. In view of tlfe wide range of the British contraband list few cargoes can hope to escape these charges.
 The note the state department probably will address to the British government in regard to detentions will remind the Brit ish government of the promise contained

 Officials of the company again pro- fessed ignorance of the causes back of the movement. In the financial district and on the stock exchange belief pre- vails that it is mainly due to the exist ence of a short interest which has thus far resisted all efforts to be driven to cover.

Show Worthy Foresight.

How does il feel to read the inscrip-
ton on your own tombstone?
This unusual pleasure is reserved
for at least two men in Annapolis, DR..
George Wells. the "boss" of Anne
Arundel politics, and John r. Sullivan.
the Sheriff-elect, his staunchest friend
and supporter.
In the graveyard,St. Anne's cemetery
are tombstones to each of them erect
ed by themselves. With the exception
of the date of death, inscriptions on
the tombstones are complete, and a
place has been reserved on each stone
for the missing date.
81 did it first said the Sheriff-elect.
Il noticed in the graveyard lots of folk
who left enough money for tomb
stone and yet had none. My wife died.
When | put up the tombstone to her
/ also put up one for myself Dr.
Wells saw it. He thought it a fine
idea, so he had his tombstone erected,
and we agreed that the one who died
first should have the date of death in
scribed on the tombstone of the other.
THE one who dies last will have to
take his chances on having the date
inserted"
