who are now giving the finishing touches
with a torchlight parade following their
return from Selma on special train to-
night. The entire corps of cadets en-
trained this morning for Selma and at
noon gave a brilliant battalion parade
and review in honor of General Hooper
on Broad street in the Central City.
In the afternoon Coach Clarkson's foot
ball team upset all dope and played rings
around the Howard college eleven, who
came down from Birmingham confident
of following their victories over Southern
and Mercer with a sweeping victory over
the cadets.
This evening at Hotel Albert General
Hooper entertained the entire corps of
cadets of the institute and the two foot
ball teams at a delightful banquet. Now
the cadets are making the echoes ring
with their victorious homecoming.
The football victory of 10 to for the
cadets over the second Howard college
eleven was spectacular exhibition of
skill, speed and superior generalship.
The Birmingham eleven came on the
field confident of victory with large
scores over Southern university and Mer-
Ger university to their credit.
Today's victory is the first game be-
tween the two colleges since Marion
opened the new athletic field several years
ago with a 40 to victory over the How
ard collegians at Marion.

Birmingham in Throes
of Sugar Shortage

Birmingham faces '1ong sweeten-
ing" for the first time since the days
of reconstruction.
There is a scant supply of sugar in
graduated form in the city-so scant
that retail grocers and other stores
will not sell more than SO cents worth
of it to single purchaser. In some
restaurants yesterday lump sugar was
powdered and served in place of the
ordinary supplies.
No relief in the form of shipment
from New Orleans came to the whole
salers. However. news was sent to the
Birmingham dealers that a carload of
the desired commodity would be sent
before the end of the week from New
Orleans. From Colorado they heard
that carload of sugar. made from
the Colorado beet. would be sent to
help in relieving the situation.
Until these shipments arrive the in
Gividual with a sweet tooth must bear
patiently and add another protest to
the shortage of cars.
