Berlin We'll Lighted

Berlin, July 1o,-(6pecial. )-Not- withstanding many obvious reasons why 1t might not be so, Berlin is, It claims today the most brilliantly lighted capi- tai of the world, The claim is not made because of darkened Paris and London. The claim is that under no sort of conditions is any other city as well or efficiently illuminated. Its brilliant gas lamps have been increased in number from 1000 to close on to 5000 with a candle power of 10,000,000. To this unit in efficiency have been added the most up-to-date methods of arti- ftcial lighting and extinguishing the burners. This latter is accomplished by suddenly increasing the pressure at the central plant, which turns a sv itch in each burner and automatical- ly starts or stops the flame.

COOPER HAS
 STRENUOUS DAY
 HERE SATURDAY
Receives Public and Makes Plan for Relief Work
 in This City

MT. L. T. Cooper was busy man yes terday.
 In addition to receiving the many who called to see him at Jacobs Drug store during the forenoon and at Patton-Pope company in the afternoon, he found time to visit a number of leading places ot interest and it is understood Is perfectlng plans for extensive relief work here, or which interesting announcements Will be made tomorrow.
 Cooper was seen to excellent advantage yesterday and his remarks made deep impression upon all who consulted him. He also talked freely and frankly Of tho results of his extensive study and his success in other cities.
 Tn commenting upon the rush to meet MT Cooper. MT. Eugene Jacobs, proprie- tor of Jacobs Drug store, where MT Cooper spent several hours during the forenoon, said:
 ''The success of Tanlac here in Bir- mingham has by far exceeded our eX- pectations and has agreeably surprised us While knew MT. Cooper, and was aware of the success his preparation has achiev- ed in other cities throughout the coun- try, yet I entertained no idea that the medicine would become so popular Tn such a short space of time in Birming- ham, Judging from the repeat sales and the concessions of satisfaction of those who have actually tested Tanlac and who state that they have been benefited by the preparation. Tanlac must, there fore, be something of unusual merit The class of people who are buying Tan lac are among the best in the city and carry weight in their statements
 Tanlac Is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Patton-Pope company and Jacobs Drug store. It is also on sale at Ensley by D. w Morris Drug company, and at Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug com pany.-Adv.

 Congressman Almon opened the meeting at the city hall last night with a short speech in which he advocated the educa- tion of the masses, diversified farming, good roads and good rural schools and churches. He then introduced Mrs. G. H.
 Mathis of Gadsden, one of the best known experts on farming In Alabama today. She told of the tomato club girls in her county and how last sea son 100 poor girls, through the proper training, cleared s60oo in one season growing and canning to- matoes, These were poor girls of tho
 hills None of whom had ever before seen a s bill' she declared.
 She told how at Gadsden the bankers bought s2O00 worth of crimson clover seed and sold 1t to the farmers of that section at cost and that the bankers received every cent of the money back. She told
 how she took one ignorant white farmer 
 who had been making $300 worth of farm products yearly and by her coaching and
 following her advice he made 5000 instead of his acustom $500. "Yes." she said, "Co-opration is what we need in Ala
 bama, and this, together With diversified
 farming will make us richer than the
 farmer of Illinois today"

German Youngsters Following News

Berlin, July 10.-(Special)-The remark able extent to which even youngsters are following the political and war develop ments, are indicated by the answers of a school full of 9-year-old girls to the ques- tion, What you'd you do if you were the King of Italy?" The question was submitted when Italy was apparently un- decided whether to enter the war or not. Forty-two girls answered, and without exception they said that the King of Italy would not declare war. The reason. they said disingenuously, was because Italy was in the triple alliance. Individ- uallv. the answers ranged from "1f were King of Italy l would not deelare war because enough blood has been spilled already" to T would not go into the way because I could not get any more than I can get by staying out" The children induiged their fancy to the extent of imagining automobile and carriage rides which they would take If they were King. but each such ride eliminated in q proc lamation against war.

VOTE ID ALLOW
 SPECIAL COUNSEL Senate Takes Attorney Gen. eral Bill From Adverse
 Calendar
ny l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, July 2i.-(Special. .)-Fol- lowing an hours debate the senate today voted to take from the adverse calendar the bill appropriating $l50Oo annually tc the attorney generals department for the purpose of allowing the head of that office to employ special counsel for the state This bill passed the house at the first session of the legislature, but was re. ported adversely by the senate commit. tee on revision of laws
 The motion to take the bill from the adverse calendar was made by Senator Denson of Greene county, who warmly ehampioned the measure. Senator Lusli of Marshall aided his efforts.
 Opposition to the bill was expressed in vigorous manner by Senator Lee of Eto- wah, who declared that there was no ne oessity for the employment of special counsel by the state. The Etowah county senator pointed out that the attorney general under the present law is allowed two assistants, and expressed the opinion that they should be able to represent the state when and wherever necessary.
 Senator Lee also opposed the measure on the ground that it gives the attor- ney general power to direct the efforts of solicitors and authority to transfer so- lcltors from one district to another He thought this was delegating too much power to the attorney general.
 The debate on the measure continued an hour or more, with the result that 1t was taken from the adverse calendar by a vote of two to one

Similar to New Judiciary Bill

The attorney general bill, as it is desig- mated, Is similar in all respects save one to the bill recommended by the re- cess committee on judiciary, and reported favorahly in the house this morning. The recess committee bill, however, provides for an appropriation of s25.000 annually in- stead of $l5.OO0. as is provided for in the original measure
 It is thought probable that the senate committee on revision of law will revise that feature of the bill so as to make it agree in every respect with the bill of- fered by the recess committee on the ju- diciary
 The senate session today was largely routine A number of bills were intro- duced and many measures were passed, though most of these were local bills.
 Senator Bonner of Wilcox succeeding in passing without opposition several bills affecting state departments, one of the most important of these being bill to prohibit officers or employees of the state from taking trips outside the state or in the state at tile states expense, without first making affidavit and securing the written approval of the governor.
 Other bills which Senator Bonner called up and passed were as follows;
