Governor Most Cordial

1T was indeed a great pleasure to
have the privilege Of accompanying
Governor and Mrs. Henderson en- route
to and from the football game re-
marked Alvin M. Douglass, who was
in charge of the parade arrangements
Thursday.
Both Mrs. Henderson and the gov
ernor were most cordial, expressing
much interest in the football game and
in the activities of the arrangement

car for the use of the governors party
was rendered by the local representa-
tive of the Anderson Motor company,
and a well known salesman, e. M. Read,
escorted the party to and from the
train, and to Fleetwood park. Governor
Henderson expressed gracious pleasure
in regard to the excellent mechanism
of the new car. and was interested to
learn that the machine was being man
ufactured by a southern concern with

Fairies, Water Nyrmphs
and Professional Prudles
1T7HE fair Annette Kellerman-and
u who does not know the fair An
nette, her every curve ?-says she de-
plores vulgarity. Speaking of one of
her latest photoplay Successes" she
remarked the other day: ain this play
I am supposed to be a sort of fairy
being, not quite mortal. And my cos
tume-well, it amounts to almost
nothing at all. But the atmosphere of
the picture is so sweet, clean and
wholesome, the whole thing is done
so delicately, that all suggestiveness
is absolutely eliminated and no one in
the audience is shocked in the least"
Spoken like an artist who believes
in art for arts sake, and curse the
dollars, also the prudes! Anyone who
has seen Annette in this particular
picture will agree with her that her
costume is almost nothing at ALL"
But everyone will also agree that the
fairies are to be allowed great latitude
in the matter of dress, while for OBJ
vious reasons clothes are great i'm
pediment to water nymph.
But Annette is wrong in thinking
that "no one in the tudience is
shocked in the least" There are mill
tant reformers in Birmingham who
are shocked almost beyond the power
of speech every time a lightly clad
damsel, whether on the stage, in the
movies or in diving tank, wiggles
her toes.
Such people seem to be sadly in need
of shock absorbers, but they wouldn't
accept one as a gift. They would much
rather wax indignant and clutter up
the newspapers with their impas-
stoned protests.

Shopping Should
Need No Urging
TT has not been many years since
y Christmas shopping was crowded
into the fortnight before the day
marking the feast of the Nativity, and
in most cities the great event was
confined to week before the joyous
day. But the "shop-early" slogan
which has been sounded throughout
the land has had the desired effect.
Statesmen and saleswomen are glad to
wait on customers at any time, but
early shopping makes it easier on the
tired employees and at the same time
the men and women looking for bar
gains have the advantage of making
their selections from stocks that have
not been picked over.
But Notwithstanding the reasons adj
vanced for making purchases ahead of
time the holiday trade, until recent
years, never became rushed until the
middle of December. All this has been
! changed, however, and self-interest, to
say nothing of human considerations,
has accounted for the reform" With
most people it is just as easy to shop
early as to put it off until Christmas
is almost here.
The less holiday money one has to
spend all the greater is the reason why
purchases should be made early. The
first of December is here and it is not
a day too soon for Christmas buying.
Birminghams weekend will bring
holiday activity and unless all signs
fail next week will be an exceptionally
busy time with the merchants. This
years Christmas trade promises to
break all previous records.
