The fatalities due TO automobile nc
cldents are distressing enough, but
one encouraging fact in connection
with them, as stated In government
report, is that during the last five
years the number of fatal accidents
has not increased nearly as fast as
the number of cars. The cars have in
creased 775 per cent while fatalities
have increased only 25S per cent. This

Detroit, Mich.-The ghosts have fed
from Belle river. Rude hands have
snatched aside hatch covers and al
lowed the sunlight to violate their
sanctuaries in the dark hulls of dead
ships. The sound of many hammers
and the ear-splitting clatter of calk-
ing mauls combine to make a steady
din which no ghost can stand.
For years they were undisturbed.
The old wooden steamers, barges and
schooners In which they held their
revels were no longer accounted
worthy of place in the line of COM

the tugging OF the current, safe from
the winds and storms. to rest In hon.

rotted away and they sank beneath the
placid waters Of the river.
Long years passed and the ghosts
became the only proprietors. the only
inmates of the venerable hulks. Then
came the war in Europe with its de-
structive effect upon shipping and the
increased demand for tonnago.

the order and the fate of the ghosts

BARBER IS GIVEN
 VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Explains Attitude of Police Depart-
 ment of the Sunday Blue Laws

Commissioner Arlie Barber threat
 ened the city commission yesterday
 that on next July 1 he expected to
 renew the agitation to close up all
 the pool rooms in the city. MT. Bar
 Der made the announcement about the
 pool rooms at yesterday mornings commission conference.
 At the conference Commissioner Barber also mentioned the fact that a bond issue was being considered for the enlargement of the municipal elec- tric plant at North Birmingham in order to become an active competitor of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Like President Wilson, Commis ssioner
 Barber sought vote of confidence from his colleagues yesterday morn ing--and got it.
 It came after a 3O-minute speech in which MT. Barber was praisinc the work of the police and detective ae-
 partment in which he mentioned about
 s10.0O0 worth of stolen property re- covered
 Tn the records of stolen property recovered" said Commissioner Ward. that means that if an automobile is stolen tonight by joy riders and re- covered tomorrow the police will be given credit for having recovered
 $500 worth of stolen property or as
 much as the automobile is valued at:'' "Yes, that is correct" replied Com
 missioner Barber, "and it was then that he changed the subject to re- questing a vote of confidence on his administration of the laws and de- sires of the commissions: There has been some criticism
 said Mr. Barber, of my attitude to-
 ward the violators of the Sunday blue laws It has been charged that I am disobeying the wishes of the honorable commission.
 Tn regard to the Sunday laws I have tried to arrest and convict all
 grocers and butcher shops that oper ate on Sunday, large or small, but I
 have not tried to prevent the sale of soft drinks and cigars or fruits.' That is all right" said Mr. Ward, "and you've won your vote of confi- dence."

lowing our little girls the liberties of grown ups.
 Here in the age of child study, when we are desirous of doing so much for the child, we have such crimes as have been before stated to the credit of school chi- dren. In Birmingham we know to our shame that the high school children are, on account of the location of the school and the necessity of crossing through the city, and great majority of the pupils are residents of the Southside High lands, the temptation to stop in the movie theatres is very strong, the depots-the Louisville and Nashville and the Terni- nal, although the Travellers Aid workers and the school faculty are trying to do their best-are still the rendezvous of many a young girl and boy before going home.
 A group of very pretty and attractive high school girls were coming from school several days ago and, passing the Tut Wiler hotel, when a group of men were standing at the Twentieth street door. As the girls passed they looked at the men and invited their attention. The men were visibly amused and tipped their hats. The girls, probably innocent of any wrong, but the love of being mo- ticed, turned and looked back. The men. thinking this a signal to follow, went after them, and soon they were all walk ing down the street together, most likely to picture show or to a soda fountain.
 Of course, we don't want to go back to the chaperon age; we want to show con- fidence and trust in our girls, but we must also show them through education along the truest and most scientific lines that there is but one way to be a real woman, and that is to command and de- sire respect. One dear, good mother I know said to me: T have never been able to be confidential with my daughter about sex matters and that mother was letting her daughter run a great risk. There is no crime like ignorance. Don't be afraid of being perfectly frank with your daughter She will appreciate if and in this way give you her confidence and maybe avert some day great trag- edy in her life
 When your girl or boy reach the age of adoescence then they need your careful guidance, not scolding or nagging or foolish punishments for things that seemed innocent to them but confidences and affection and education along the se- rious fundamental things that affect their whole life and being.
 First, be your daughters friend conf dant and companion; stop betting her and dressing her up and playing with her as you did when she was a real little girl You must be chum first and mother second. That's going to gain you a. com panion, not just mere daughter.

Irondale Man Says He Wasn't Fit for Anything Before He Began Tax

This Tanlac certainly has helped me, and want to recommend it because be- Iieve it will help others,'' said J. H Evans, a well known and highly respected miner, who lives at Irondale, fin talking with F. E. Caine, the well known drug gist of that place.
 T wasn't down sick, exactly he con tinued; that is, I still kept going and wasn't down in bed but I was all run down and was hardly fit for anything in the way of work. But I didn't feel like moving when I got still and I didn't seem ohave any ambition at all,
 wouldn't sleep any to speak of at night and in the daytime l felt tired and drowsy. My appetite was no good and there was hardly anything that ever looked like it would taste good to me. l lost some in weight for this condition pulled me down and made me feel tuck cred out and not able to do my work
 I've always been pretty stout and more than able to hold my hand with the rest of 'em when anything had to be done, and this sick feeling didn't seem right, and I knew something ought to be done; so l got to reading up on Tanlac, for I had an idea it was just about what I needed to put me on my feet.
 T have finished my third bottle now, and it has helped up my energy just like Il thOuSHt IL WOuiu. 1 nave SdlnGQ IV pounds in weight and can work all day and sleep all night like man ought to-. ] have good apbetite, too, and can eat anything they fetch out, for I seem to be hungry all the time like I used to be when I was growth up. Tanlac's a mighty fine medicine and I feel like I ought orecommend it to folks who are sick and don't know exactly what ails lem. I believe that kind of condition bothers man more than any other sick. ness'
 Commenting on this case, Mir G. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tanlac said: "Tanlac seems to reach that tired, run down condition better than any other preparation known to science It corrects the sluggish action of the stomach liver, kidneys and other vital organs, and in this way tones up and revtaizes the en- tire system.s
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. W.
