AMUSEM ENTS.
At the Strand.

Mary Pickford, beloved of all NOV
ing picture devotees. has a new and
different part in The Eternal Grind,
shown to large audiences Sunday night
at the Strand. Here Mary is a refor-
mer, altho at first glance she seems
merely factory girl. trying to exc out
an existence along with her two sis
tiers. who also work in James Whar-
tons factory. But later Mary is seen
going to the manufacturer and plead
ing for the one sister who has weak
lungs, and then saving the other sis
ter. who is morally weak There are
two sons of the manufacturer, Owen
and Ernest Wharton. Ernest has
tempted Amy. and she has fallen. and
1t is Mary who forces a marriage in
order to save her sisters good name.
Eventually Mary and the good son,
Owen, are happy together, and the
father is made to reform conditions
in the factory.
There are several other strong
scenes. which are at times a bit mel
odramatic, but Mary acts with so
much feeling. lending just the right
touch to the situations, that the audi
ence forgets the places where the act
ion seems trite. and remembers only
the heart depths which the picture
reaches. Mary as the patient, toiling
factory girl. doing her best to stand
the eternal grind" is worth seeing.

At the Lyric.


Taking the spectator from the gay
white way of New York to an Alaskan
mining camp, Human Driftwood"
featuring Robert Warwick, makes a
thrilling photo drama with strong sit
uations. Good sized audiences saw the
production at the Lyric Sunday night.
Warwick takes the part of Hendricks,
a rich bachelor. who becomes enamor-
ed Of Myra, a dancer. After they have
become rather intimate he reforms,
and years later goes to Alaska to i'm
prove conditions in a mining camp.
He finds Myra the evil spirit of the
place, and with her is a beautiful and
pure young girl with whom Hendricks
falls in love. Myra makes Hendricks
believe the girl is their daughter. and
tells him she is to wed a rough miner.
Hendricks fights tine miner and over
comes him, and claims the girl as his
bride. Myra confesses to having lied
about the girls parentage. Warwick
does some strong emotional acting, and
the varied scenic effects are fascinat-
ing.
Cartoon comedies of Mutt and Jeff'
are also shown.

LIQUOR INSPECTION . FEESARE REFUNDED City Pays $3SOO on Claims Presented by Attorney
 John Altman

The city paid back lot of money col lected for the liquor inspection tax yes terday.
 John w. Altman, representing more than 40O0 clients. received a check for S3SOO to be returned to those citizens who paid fee of 50 cents each time they re- ceived a package of liquor during the three months the inspection ordinance was in effect.
 Mr. Altman made fight for the refund as soon as the ordinance was declared illegal by the courts. The commissioners at first refused to return the money col lected, but later decided that they were morally obligated to reimburse those who had submitted to the ordinance.
 The $3S00 received by MT. Altman yes terday does not include all the claims tc be collected. About half of the citizens who paid the fee did not come forward end demand their money back.

 to be a misnomer.
 While the signing of the protocol at Att

 patrol, the war department has an
 nounced that it does not contemplate the
 withdrawal of the troops from the Mexi- can border until the de facto government shows it's ability to cope with the situa- tion.
 Congressman George Huddleston. at the behest of many Birmingham citizens wrote to Representative s.

 By this parcel post I send you a twig broken from the olive tree. It is sent on behalf of that citi- zenship in Alabama, living outside of Greater Birmingham. It is sent now because the press has re- corded no battles fought, no war rior slain, no roar of guns at the city hall of Birmingham in several days
 q would be glad for you to pre- sent this little branch of the olive tree, in memory of the days when the French soldier found peace in the forests of Alabama, to the bel ligerent members of your city commission.

GEO. H. CLARK PUT
 IN MANY REFORMS Former County Engineer Has Not Yet Decided Upon
 Plans for Future

George II. Clark, who failed to be e-elected by the board of revenue yesterday, has held the office of coun- ty highway engineer since January l, 1915. He was selected at that time to succeed Jerry Gwin, then highway en- gineer, and now president of the board Of revenue.
 During his tenure of office it is said that Mir. Clark established many reforms in the highway department and effected large savings in ex- penditures.
 It is claimed that his economic bridge designs for reinforced concrete construction on more than 200 new bridges constructed under his super vision, shows saving of 15 per cent over the previous types used and that he secured for the county without cost more than Is miles of old constructed railroad bed and added it to the high way system of the county. The esti- mated cost of this construction is $150,000.
 MT. Clark recently completed an ac- curate map of the county at total cost of $200. although the legislature many years ago in passing special legislation for this map estimated the cost would be $3000.
 An automatic system of cost ac- counting and proper estimates behind all construction activities. a system, not previously used in the county en- gineering department, was also in | stalled by MT. Clark.
 My plans for the future are not
 vet definitely fixed" said MT. Clark
 after the board meeting yesterday. "f
 am considering one or two proposl-
 tions. but will rest a short while be-
 fore actively entering my profession

Many of the officials and employees of the county were elected by the board of revenue at it's meeting yesterday morn ing
 Very few of the old employees were re- tained.
 The election yesterday came as no par ticular surprise It has been generally predicted around the courthouse for sev- eral days that the board would in most
 instances, appoint new men for the vari- ous positions.
 The board did not follow the usual
 custom of fixing salaries before election, but it is presumed that those receiving appointments are aware of the amount of l salary attached thereto. Following are those elected thus far: Chief clerk, D. c. Ball; assistant chief clerk. Mado Reeves; clerk convict de- partment, T. s. Page; highway engineer, s. R. Batson; assistant highway engt- neer, H. G. Culverhouse; sanitary engi-
