NUMBERING PLAN
FOR BOULEVARD
e. L. 6oud in Communication With
the City Council, Suggests Plan.
That City Might
Follow.
MAIN STREET TO DIVIDE
Would Cut Two Sections Of Boulevard
In East and South-to be
Numbered on From
.TImea Street.

E. L. Boud OF 1907 Exchange street,
a mail carrier at the local postofiee
has submitted to the city council a
plan for the numbering of Belknap
boulevard. A number of new houses
have been erected along the highway
and Mr. Boud believes that it Is time
that systematic numbering be made
for the benefit Of the new residents.
His communication to the council
is as follows:
AS there are new houses on
Belknap boulevard, with the pos
sibility that others will be built ,
soon, and no established nun bers
on the houses, and also as the
boulevard is not designated as
north and south, or east and west.
wish to give you my idea of
plan for numbering the boulevard.
First-Continue the numbers
on from Timea street around to
Grand avenue, advancing 100
numbers for each block space of
800 feet, continuing the odd and
even numbers on each side as
they run on Timea street.
Second-The first number be-
ginning at Timea street I think
would be about 1922 or 1928.
Third-As Main street is the d.
vision line OF the numbering on
all other cross streets, the boule-
ward might be so divided and
numbered,

NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York May -(Specal.) l.)-Pictures of Birminshams people of prominence, seen in the papers of your Magic City, make one believe that within it's borders is located the long sought fountain of perpetual youth. Now there's Commis- sioner James Weatherly's picture, for in stanee-the same seraphic smile, the same youthful, slightly curling hair and-well, it reminds me that there was once, under that hair a wonderful smoke ordinance which, judging from the perpetual youth standpoint, must still be in existence in Birmingham.
 If it is operative-fine-if it isn't then Mr. Weatherly should take just one look at this Manhattan atmosphere on one of these perfect days of May. To me it is thing to marvel at. It makes me wish that heaven were really earth, and that all these wonderful things that are growing and improving under the guid- ance of mere finite man, were one day to be perfected and form the heaven that he dreams about In other words, New York city. become eternal would be heaven enough, if a fellow were properly situated here and the month was May.
 The air is so clear here that, honestly, one can sit over on Riverside drive and almost see one of the Jersey mosquitoes seated on the top of the Palisades, wink ing his eye at the coy wife of some other member of the tribe. Out in the middle of the Hudson, opposite the foot

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Raymond Paine, a musical comedy fa- vorite who has appeared a number of times in Birmingham, is the star of ~~9fe Little Wives" musical comedy off, fering for this week at the Lyric thea Ire. MT. Paine is an engaging comedian and is ably assisted by Inez Nesbit, who has personal magnetism and a pleasing appearance. She and MT. Paine present some graceful song numbers and carry off the rapid fire lovemaking character istic of musical comedy in capital style
 In addition to MT. Paine and Miss Nes- bit, Al Harrison as the Big Fellow and Johnny Philliber as the Little Eel low,'' contribute some comedy, MT. Phil fiber doing quite we'll in an eccentric part The rest of the company fill in'' more or less acceptably and there is the usual sketchy plot on which to hang the songs and other specialties The chorus is not at all bad looking, and several of the song numbers are pre- sented in a graceful way. One numb CT in particular, chiefly on account of the summery attire of the chorus, rather suggests a Winter Garden show
 Six Little Wives is another one of the Boyle Woolfollx musical tabloids and while it is better than some of it's prede- cessors, it is to be hoped that the Lyric will soon return to vaudeville.
 The Pathe pictures are unusually in- structive this week and well repay anyone for arriving in time to see them.

owner of the Great Northern Pacific Steamship and Navigation company.
 The greatest portion of MT. Hill s wealth, however, was in the stocks and bonds of the Great Northern, North ern Pacific, and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroads.
 The executors of MT. Hills estate prob ably will be Louis w. Hill, his son, and the Northwestern Trust company. The great power held by MT. Hill will pass to his son, Louis, who has been close ly associated with him in business for 10 years.
 It is believed that Mr. Hills vast es- tate will be held intact through the Northwestern Trust company. and that the various heirs will be given life in terests.
 Archbishop John Ireland, commenting on Mir Hills death, said:
 What can I say that the whole coun : try is not saying? A great man has gone from earthly life. Not only d man of rarest talent of mind, a genius, but also one who has put his wondrous talent in the service of felowmen, whose ca reer was marked with strict integrity and highest sense of honor.
 II must say in simplest truth that he loved and respected religion and held the Christian faith to be the supreme principle of human righteousness and hu- man life.''

SUPPORTED BELGIANS

From the time the work of succoring the Belgians began. MT. Hill took a lead ing part in the movement. II will prob ably never be known how much money he sent to King Albert an old personal friend. and how much he induced others to donate.
 His place as an international figure was never more prominently displayed than when the representatives of the allies came to New York in quest of a huge loan. One of the first men to be sent for by J. P. Morgan was MT. Hill and his assurance that he and the people of the northwest were prepared to do their share in taking up the foreign bonds, is believed to have contributed largely to the change of sentiment and the success of negotiations.
 From a local point of view his infiu- ence in the upbuilding of South St. Paul Stock yards, principally through the decision of Armour X Co. to come to the suburb claims first rank
 His clam to being the original advo- vate of live stock development in the northwest is unuuestioned and snce the retirement of A. B, Stickney he had been most ardent proponent of the upbuild- ing of the industry at this center a work which has been taken up by his son, Louis W. Hill

NEW YORK SHOCKED

New York May 29.-The news of the death of the man who for two genera tions has been dominating personality in the financial community was received in Wall street today with varied express sions of sorrow and a feeling of almost
 personal loss
 The financiers death did not cause the slightest disturbance in the stock mar ket. The Hill stocks Great Northern
 and Northern Pacific, were virtually in- active.
 MT. Hill was famous in the financial community for his quaint humor and con servative though optimistic views of gen eral conditions throughout the country MT. Hill made his headquarters when here at the offices of the Great North
 ern railway but spent much of his time visiting the leading banks and banking houses. His advice and influence were eagerly sought last fall by the banking syndicate which floated the $500 O0J
 AnSlo-F'rench war issues. He was a powerful factor in the successful con-
 summation of that unprecedented under taking. MI. Hill was outspoken in his | championship of the allies.
 Local officials of the Hill roads are expected to leave town today to attend the funeral. It is also likely that repre- sentatives of the banking houses of J. P. Morgan X Co.,, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, the First National bank Chase National bank and City National bank, with all of which MT. Hill had close personal and financial connections, will attend the funeral. "One of the strongest men of his gen.
 ration was the characterization by J. P. Morgan of MT. Hill. MT. Hills death lis very great loss to the country, said Mir Morgan. He helped more than any other man in the development of the great regions in the northwest He commanded the respect and admiration ] of all for his great constructive and ex- 1 ecutive ability and unspotted integrity of | character which made him one of the | strongest men of his generation"

Of lOOth street, lies a great man-o war, ell unprepared, and in the early morn Ing one can see the grease spots on her deck before the deck swabbers are put on the job
 New York has a reputation for richness and splendor,. but not, perhaps, for parts of Manhattan itself that are beau- tiful. The drive is one of them, the View from the concourse is not to be sur passed, the upper boulevard is a dream, and right in the heart of the city are lit- tie surprise spots that enchant one with their loveliness.
 Broadway is not all white lights. Up per Broadway is lined with beautiful trees that are just as green and fresh looking today in spite of all they have seen and heard as those on the top of Shades mountain, and if there is any thing more inspiring than some of the views obtainabe up around Spuyten Duyvil. at the north end of the island, they are hardly to be found in the cat alogue of See-America- First.
 But New York has nothing like Bir- minghams South Highlands. Show that section to the visiting New Yorkers-it cannot but impress them. If Manhattan had anything like that it would cost so much to live there that it would be made up altogether or homes of the multis.
 And this oity's freedom from smoke has whole lot to do with these impress sions and facts I have just written Con- missioner Jim.

Many's hand trembled as he sub- scribed his name to the alumni register. but there was something of youth about his bearing as he made his way about the university campus, where so many years ago he romped as care free col lege boy. These two aged alumni are attracting considerable attention from the comm mencement visitors. Their stories of the old college days while away the morning hours as the home corners bask beneath the giant shade trees of the historic old campus. Many years have passed since they left Tuscaloosa, but their appearance for the big home coming, they say, testifies that the passing years have failed to stay their love and reverence for their alma mater.
 Prominent among the other alumni who are registered at the university are the following: Hill Ferguson, '96, Birming- ham; Borden Burr, '96, Birmingham; Daniel Pratt, 'S5, Prattville; R. E. Pet tus, '75, Huntsville; A. M. Pratt, 96, Memphis; E. s. Pugh '95 Union Springs; c. E. Thomas, '91, Prattville; Mike Sol- lie, Sr, SS Ozark, and B. l.. Wyman, 76, Birmingham.

MRS. LAR|MER HAD
 ID BE LIFTED FROM
 CHAIR ID HER BED
Wife of T. c. I. Go. Employe Had Rheumatism So Bad
 She Couldn't Walk

"What this Tanlac has done for me Is enough to set every tongue in north Alabama to wagging, for l simply never saw the like of it in my life," was the truly remarkable statement of Mrs. Elda Larimer. 262S Avenue c, Ensley, Ala, to a Tanlac representative who had heard of her case and hurried to Ensley to investigate.
 Mrs. Larimer is the wife of Harry Larimer, Vesselman at the T. C. & L. Co.'S big steel mill at that place, and the two are well and favorably known in Ensley, where they have a great many friends.
 Its an actual fact" continued Mrs. Larimer, that I had rheumatism so bad I couldn't get out of my chair with out help-why, I couldn't even put on my shoes, and I was simply getting worse and worse all the time. l don't know what on earth I would have done if we hadn't got some Tanlac for it.; and the way this medicine got me over 1t before I'd finished two bottle is some thing more than I can understand!
 "rd have shooting pains all through my limbs until I was in misery all the time and as helpless as baby, for 1 would have to be lifted to the bed and I could,t think about walking that far. I was nervous, too, and all broken down. 1 couldn't sleep at night but would simply have to lay there restless and tired and wishing morning would soon come
 q didn't seem to want anything at all to eat, and nothing seemed to help me or make me feel better and ease my pains took a good many different kinds of medicine but they didn't reach my case at all and I don't know that I ever would have gotten relief if my husband hadn't got to reading about Tanlac and made up his mind to get me some.
 q finished my second bottle in Feb ruary, and I've hardly had touch Of rheumatism since; in fact, q consider myself a well woman, for I have gained lot in weight and been getting better every way since that time
 q can now do all my own work and I simply feel so much stronger and bet ter that I don't seem like the samo woman that I was when I was all crip- pied up and suffering like I never had suffered before or ever expect to again. I sleep fine now, and it certainly is a treat to me that I am able to get out in my garden and work with my vegeta- bles and flowers.
 My husband is happy over what this medicine has done for me, and you'd have to go a long ways before you'd find two people that think more of Tan lac recommend it stronger than we do.'
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu lively by Eugene Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram- Patton Drug company, in Ensley by the D.. w.
