 of This City

F. l.. March of the Detroit Products company, who formerly had branch of- fices in Birmingham, is at the Tut wiler. Mir. March is one of the most enthusiastic boosters Birmingham has 'I am glad to get back here," said MT. March, T have always had a weak ness for Birmingham and it's people. It has been several months since I left here, and in that short period I have noticed many improvements.
 T left Detroit just a few days ago and the weather was very disagreeable and cold. Business conditions in the middle west are excellent. and the prospects are that they will remain so for a long time. I believe this next year will be one of prosperity despite it's being presidential year This country has broken a lot of records lately, and 1 expect it to break another one by having good business despite all the politics that is bound to be with us always..

Much Interest Now in Man Who Is to Preside Next
 Thursday Night
BIRMINGHAM MAN IS
 MOST LIKELY CHOICE
Prominent Men From Various Parts of State Are to Take Part and Make Nominating Speeches
 for Candidates

Next Thursday evening at 0 clock the Jefferson theatre will be the scene Of one of the livest political conventions ever held in Alabama. when The Age-Herald adver- tisers will convene to elect one among them as the most worthy to possess beautiful $750 player-piano, which The Age-Herald will donate.
 Prominent men from all parts of Ala bama will take part in the convention, which will be held under the rules of the national democratic convention, and which promises to afford more amusement than any other event of the season in Bir- mingham.
 A number of informal conferences were held yesterday discussing who was the best presiding officer in Alabama. Con- gressman Tom Hehin would adorn the chair, but it is said he prefers to be on the floor and make a nominating speech. Gen. w. w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa was suggested, but he has such a remarkable voice that he has been invited to be the reading clerk It is not unlikely that a Birmingham man with plenty of fun and humor in his system will be decided upon for chairman.
 All Age-Herald advertisers will be present. Especially is this true of the writers of display advertising, for these scribes have sought by their artistry to turn out an advertisement which would so far exceed in attractiveness all other ad- vertisements in The Age-Herald that the convention could not refrain from award ing them the palm.
 The ladies of Birmingham will be ably represented in the convention, and a woman advertising writer, Mrs. Mabel Ford Leake, who has won her laurels against the competition of some of the best men ad writers in the south, will be delegate. It has been rumored that all the furniture dealers of Birmingham would become delegates to the conven- tion, and would concentrate their voting power on Mrs. Leake in an attempt to give her the payer-piano.
 Other combinations in the favor of va rious candidates are being formed and the prospect for very lively session is held out temptingly. and politicians are following the lure. They will be in Bir- mingham in force, and The Age Herald advertisers convention will be an event long remembered in. Alabama.

ADJUSTMENTS
"High links"

"High Jinks," which Arthur Hammer stein will present at the Jefferson theatre Wednesday matinee and night, concerns itself with a wonderful perfume that makes everybody hilarious. The first scene is in Dr. Thorne's flower garden near Paris, the second at a French bathing resort in the forenoon, and the third at the same place on a moonlit evening. The action is not monopolized by one or two people, but shared by large cast. Nor are there any vaudeville interpoations. They are not needed in High Jinks." A stolen kiss. wives pursuing husbands and a comic Frenchman, wild for duel, are among the factors that complicate the plot. A handsomely gowned chorus of singing and dancing girls add zest to the festivities.

independent lines, have launched many
designs, and 1t will soon be left to the
public to reject or favor certain styles
and thus develop the fashions for
spring. One authority in gowns de-
clares that our waists are to be small
and that we must all be recorseted,
while another calmly launches ador-
ably pretty gowns in which there is no
such thing as waist line.
All of this difference of opinion
among those who create styles fosters
a growing independence among those
who make fashions 1t is for women
to decide this season, with nothing to
influence them but their own likings
or dislikings, as to what shall be cor
rect style.
In the meantime, if it is desirable to
decide upon new gown, one may be
sure enough of few facts. One of
these is that broadcloth is as safe a
choice as can be made for good cloth
gown; also that gabardine and serge
are in demand for tailored and one
piece utility gowns, and that skirts

Mrs. Yardley had heard all about the
Scovilles; and. while flush rose to

sudden interest.
"Ah!" came in quick exclamation,

cough and the somewhat forced and
conventional remark: You find the
