Meeting Held by Amateur C0mmissiOn-F0ur Teams
 to Compete

After squabbling and wrangling for over threeh ours. the Birmingham Amateur Baseball commission decided upon the schedule for the amateur championship of the city last night in an lively meeting at the city hall. big sensation was sprung when team of an afternoon news paper, of the same league, and the Blachs team of the Commercial league, were ruled out of the series.

 The date as set for the opening of the series Is on Tabor Day, September 6. The following teams will compete in the series: Rasco, winners of the City league;
 Postofflce, winners. of the Greater Bir- mingham league; Pep-to-Lac. winner of the Central league and the winner of the Recreation league. Each team will play the other two games. Then the one hav- ing the highest percentage after playing the six games will be one of the teams in the championship fight while the team having the next best average will be the other factor. In case Of a tie for first or second place by two teams a three-game series will be played to decide which
 shall participate in the last chance for the King of baseball
 As to the Thursday afternoon league championship it will be left to the win
 ming managers to arrange a series be- tween their teams After the winner Is
 decided in this, provided that the city
 champion agrees, they will be given a
 shot at the real champions.
 The following is the schedule as ar ranged by the commission September G. Pep-to-Lac vs. Postoffice: Rasco vs Recreation. September Il, Pep-to-Iac vs

HAPPENS GIVEN
 FURTHER TIME

Washington, August 26.-Haitis Parlia- ment has been given until September IT, to act on the proposed treaty by which the United States would extend a finan- cial protectorate over the unstable little republic for 10 years. In the meantime the American marines will continue to occupy the principal cities of the island to prevent recurrence of anarchy.
 Charge Davis of the American lega- tion at Port au Prince had asked that the treaty draft be approved not later than tonight, when Parliament was scheduled to adjourn. The Haitiens pro- tested against limiting their debate on the proposal and the charge reported today that when they arranged to extend the session of Parliament until September IT, he did not press for immediate action. Before the proposed convention can become effective it must be ratified by the United States Senate. The executive departments have arranged however to resort to a modus vivendi or temporary working arrangement as soon as the Hail before it. Some of the Haitien customs houses already have been taken over by Rear Admiral Caperton commanding the naval forces, and supervision of others will be assumed when the time comes. Then American officers will set apart portions of the revenue received for the expenses of the island government, re- serve sufficient to meet interest on the foreign debt and see that any remainder in the treasury.
 If this arrangement works satisfactorily officials believe there will be no diffi- culty in securing prompt ratification Of the formal treaty when Congress meets in December.

TARGET PRACTICE
 ON LONG ISLAND.
tsIandkerchiefs. Main FIoorD In Ordering Goods Please Mention
 THE AGE-HERALD

New York, August 2e1The shriek of shells and the roar of cannon rolled over Lcng Island sound waters today. The long mute 12-inch mortars at Fort Totten, at the northern entrance to New York harbor, sent IS 70o-pound projectiles climb ing three miles into the sky at nov ing speck of a target 1900 yards off shore. ~
 Conditions of actual warfare were duplicated, so far as possible. In little observatory on Sands Point, six miles away, an officer sighted the mortars by telephone. The artillerymen working in the gun pit in overalls, spattered with greas saw nothing of the target but fol- lowed the comamnds of this officer, re- layed to them by the battery commander few feet away in the pit.
 Instead of a hostile fleet the gamers fired at a triangular sail on a bobbing float at the end of a 500-yard hawser let out by tug. It was 10 feet high by 10 feet wide at the base. The flight of the projectiles could be followed without glasses for the first few seconds, but so far away was the target that when they fell the great columns of water that spouted up appeared but a few feet in height.
 With searchlights playing on the tiny float the firing was repeated tonight, How many hits were scored will not be- computed. 1t was said, for several days

Something About "Tedcheraees"
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. LILLIAN

Alabama has already made decided steps in this direction. At Thomasville, the school has become a factor in the life of that community, cooking clubs have been established, sewing classes have been formed and mothers organized into school improvement associations.
 Sumter county has five teacherages al- ready established. The St. Louis Republic in an article about rural schools and communities. suggests that an appropria- . tion be made by each county so that consolidated school districts, clubs, mo- tion pictures. lecture courses. pageants. community music good roads, sanitation, irrigation, more automobiles, trees rural mail routes, telephones, modern homes, social gatherings and better public build ings may be advocated as a means for improving the standard of living in rural districts. To accomplish this reform 1t suggests that a commission be appointed to ask that each member of the student body be requested to take a report of his home community and make a sur vey of conditions and then recommend those things which the student himself can help establish.
 The school then becomes the social pivot and the active life of the country peo- pie centers around the logical place, thu schoolhouse.

 ABOLITION 0F THE
 STATE JURY SYSTEM
Bill Providing for Board of Jury Commissioners for the Various Counties
 Is Passed
By L. 2. BETTY

Montgomery, August 2s-lSpecial.) Abolition of the present jury system of the state was indorsed by the senate today In the passage of a bill providing that the board of county commissioners, or the board of revenue of the several counties of the state shall constitute the jury commission for the various coun- ties.
 The bill as passed by the senate was a committee amendment to the bill pro- posed by the recess committee on the Judiciary. This bill, as Is known, pro- vided that the governor should appoint one Jury commissioner for each county, that the chief justice of the supreme court should appoint one, and that the third should be appointed by the board of revenue.
 The senate committee on the judiciary amended the bill so as to allow the board of commissioners for the several coun- ties, or the board of revenue, to constitute the jury commission.
 The measure was debated at length. and various amendments were offered Among the amendments adopted were those exempting county officials from service on the commission and requiring that none should serve except household CTS and freeholders.
 According to the bill, the terms of of- flee of all the present jury commissioners of the state will expire September 30 1915
 The senate late this afternoon passed the Jones printing bill providing an ap- propriation of $000,000 for the purpose of establishing a state printing plant Pro- vision is made in the bill for the publica- ton of uniform series of textbooks for the public schools of the state, and for the publication of all the states print ing. on a competitive basis

A TAIL OF A SHIRT
ny CHARLES N. HANDY

A very necessary and useful article of wearing apparel is a shirt. In ad- dition to being necessary and useful, the humble shirt has been made the subject of song and story in almost every age "The Song of the Shirt immortalized Hood and who Is there that has not read the story of the an- cient king who searched his kingdom for the shirt of a contented man. The story has 1t that the king, satiated with pomp and pleasure and power, fancied himself very sick and his phy- sicians, driven to their wits end to prescribe remedy, stated that nothing would cure him but the shirt of con- tented man which he was to wear for certain period The kings couriers secured the kingdom for months in search of a contented man and when they finally found him he did not pos sess a shirt.
 The component parts of shirt are d front. back, a collar and a tail, or, perhaps, two tails. Now, In speak : ing of the anatomy of shirt, cer tainly 1t cannot be any more improp- CT to say shirt tail than 1t would be to say a shirt sleeve. As a matter cl Tact a certain southern statesman rose to undying fame on shirt tail when he proclaimed on the floor of ihe house of Congress that If every Chinaman would lengthen his shirt tail two inches it would raise the price of cotton 10 cents a pound" or words to that effect. When It is recalled that China has a population of over 40d- 00,000, the point of the above asser- ton in obvious.
 And in this regard who Is 1t that does not remember that old ditty that the boys used to repeat:
 T havegseen a ship without rud-
 dor
 And a ship without a sail,
 But the funniest thing I ever saw
 Was a shirt without tail.'
 A shirt without tail is certainly funny, especially if some one Is in it.
 The other day there was displayed in the show windows of Blach's clothing store a large variety of shirts of diff
