 Conditions
NOT DEPENDENT ON
 EUROPE FOR FASHIONS
Trading Far Beyond Expectations, 7 F. M. Drennen-"Sales Better Than Last Year, A.sHirsch-"Peo-
 pie Liberal" M. V. Joseph

The merchants of Birmingham express themselves as entirely satisfied with the results of Fashion Week. saying it has demonstrated to the satisfaction of GUS toner and merchant alike that this cotnn- try is not dependant upon Europe for it's styles, or for the materials that go into the making of American clothes. Fashion Week has demonstrated that the people will spend their money and has again routed the calamity bowler. The trading during the week has been abnormally heavy. even better than last year.
 A few of the merchants yesterday com mented as follows:
 J. Burger. of the Burger Dry Goods company: "The merchants here appre- ciate the trade of our friends outside the city as well as those who live here. We have enjoyed great trade. The people seemed to be pleased with the decora- tions and the amusement features, and the opening of the spring fashions in the stores was especially attractive.
 Independent of Europe
 Under present conditions, of course, the displays of fashion creations from Paris and other style centers were nec- essarily dispensed with. But it has proven that domestic fashions are just as pop ular as are those made abroad and that the people will buy them just as readily. The displays in Birmingham shops Fash ion Week were of the highest standard and could not have been surpassed by any city on the American continent The trading was far beyond expectations and we are more than pleased"
 M. V. Joseph, of Loveman, Joseph and Loeb: Fashion Week has proved a huge success. We have been fortunate in having excellent weather most of out Alabama and Mississippi have Hooked here to make their purchases for the spring. The displays of new styles have been particularly beautiful an, the people have been liberal in their buy ing.
 August Hirsch, of the Hirsch Millinery company: We consider Fashion Week an advantage to the costumer as well as the merchant and pleased with it's success this year. Our sales have been far and away better than last year 
 especial effort to show the very latest creations in millinery. We have been un- usually busy all the week and have served out-of-town friends as well as customers in the city. Fashion Week brought to Birmingham the better class of trade from surrounding towns and cities and has proved it's worth.'' W. T. Cox of the Cox Shoe Company: Fashion Week has been 8 success in every way. Our trade has been very good, hundreds of out-of-town visitors calling at the store. Good'weather has been the rule and buying has been iberal''

THOSE WHO PRESENTED SPRING FASHIONS
PRAISE THE MISSES FASHION

Officials of the Business Mems league were loud in their praise of the young ladies who consented to serve as the Misses Fashion this year. That the young ladies were entirely free of that self-consciousnes which betrayed Miss Fashion last year was due to the scheme of Mrs. Reid by which none knew on which particular day she was the lucky Miss Fashion. This, it is said, made them much more diff cult to identify.

southern California are to be selected
and rule over festivities on the occa-
sion of Motion Picture Day at the
San Diego exposition, September IL.
Inhabitants of the vast moviedom
of southern California, thousands OF
whom know the movie stars person
ally as well as on the screens, are to
vote in the election of the king and
queen, ballots to be provided by the
newspapers of Los Angeles and San
Diego and the selection, therefore,
will be as far above reproach as a
political election.
Thousands of the motion picture
players will be present and mingle
with the hundreds of thousands of
movie fans. High officials of all mo-
tion picture producing companies in
southern California, scenario writ
ers, directors and publicity managers
have combined with the exposition in
making arrangements for a notable

Football Rules
Are Changed

Special pains have been taken by
the men who rejiggered the football
rules for the coming season, to pro-
vide the fullback with more protec-
tion that he has ever had before, and
that means the fullback is going to
be used more in carrying the ball.
The rules, just issued, show that
in regard to the fullback, distinction
is made between running into" the
player and "roughing" him. The
player who runs into" the fullback
will. cause his team to be penalized
Is yards, while "roughing" the full
back will not only bring the 15-yard
penalty, but cause the offending play
er to be disqualified.
There is always the temptation to
manhandle the man carrying the
ball. The more the fullback is
bumped the more penalties and dis
qualifications the other side will suf-
fer, so coaches will see that the full
back is often in position to be
bumped.
Other changes are slight. The
committee decided the game could
not be improved much. The flock
ing of substitutes onto the field in
the last period is prohibited by a
rule which says resubstitutions will
not be allowed except at the begin
ming of period.
The center, in passing the ball,
will have to let it out OF his hands
