The first paper was Engines" by
f. T. Dillingham;. The first part OF
the report was taken up in an account
of the early discoveries of ferments,
but, according to Dillingham;, even to
day IL is impossible to tell what envy
mes are and therefore their proper
ties and the action promoted by them
can only be studied. The report says
in part:
1t seems probable that all enzymo.
tic processes are catalytfc reactions
hThey act apparently by their mere
presence; changing the rate OF reac'
tons already in progress and not ap'
pearing in the final products OF the
reaction which is accelerated That is
to say, they do not enter into the
change themselves, and either reap
pear unchanged at the end of the re
action or are destroyed by secondary
processes.
How Action Brought Ahaut,as -,
In this connection 1t may be said
that II Is now the general opinion OF
psychologists that living organisms az
feet most chemical operations by
means of engines, or in other words,
engines are the tools or cells.
Another characteristic property oil
engines is that of specificity. Fol
examples: The engines which act
upon the carbohydrates are not able
to split the proteins or fats; so also
In the fermentation of closely related
substances, such as the disaccharides
the engine which acts upon maltese
is not able to act upon lactose; each
substance apparently requires its own
specific engine.
Because of the very great import
it may not be out of place to mention
briefly the role- of those which are
concerned chiefly in digestion.
Digestive METHODS Told
The first engine with which in
gested food comes into contact is an
amylolytic ferment secreted in the sa.
Iva. known as ptyalln. When the
food mass reaches the stomach It is
brought into contact with the engines
secreted into the gastric juice. The
active engine Of the stomach is a
,Drotease known as pepsin. This enz'
ime is most active under conditions
of acidity, such as are found normally
In the stomach. Proteins of all sorts
are acted upon by pepsin in the pre-
sence Of dilute hydrochloric acid, and
converted in large measure. to proteo
ses and peptones.

 Officials Planning Membership Campaign

Realizing that the Birmin gham Motor and Country club is destined to be the most potent factor in the recroation- al and social life of the Birm ngham district. the officers and directors have in hand and under consideration many features which will make the club the finest of it's kind in the entire coun- try. The beautiful lakehouse with it's by July l. and the commodiou* bath- houses are well under way. and shcrt- l% Edgewood lake will be able to boast ot one of the finest beaches in the southland by far the finest of any ir- land body of water The lake itself is admitted to be the most beautiful ir the south.
 The club grounds enclose over 500 aCres-a combination of hills woods, greensward and water forming the most alluring picture of nature any where in the southland. The quaint and picturesque clubhouse. unrivaleC in it's rustic simplicity; the fountain with it's tcstoon of silvery spray; the placid wa ters of the lake gently bathing the Verdure- clad base of Shades mountain on the opposite shore-all form pie ture never to be forgotten by the lover of nature.

through the exercise of it's privileges Birmingham is busy city peopled by busy men and women, and the uni Versal prescription for jaded nerves, tired minds and weary bodies is copious ard frequent doses of the greet oHt- doors Most people are compelled to spend hundreds of dollars in railroad fares and hotel bills seeking nature within the reach of every mar wom- price of one short railway jourrcy alone

Better Babies

Marianna Wheeler, in Care of Children"
 Column, in the Peoples Home Journal.
 Perhaps one of the best features of tho campaign in behalf of better babies. which, starting in the big cities as early as March, has spread to over 5000 towns and 17O0 communities, is the way in which plans ave been formulated and have multiplied for the celebration of baby week.
 The baby has come into his own. He has always been the central pivot about which the household has revolved. His food. his sleep, his wardrobe and his gen. eral welfare-matters of prime impor- tance-have been made the concern not only of his immediate family, but of the intelligent manufacturer, who realizes that well-nourished, well-groomed. we'll dressed baby is credit to the commun- ity and the hope of the nation.
 To the wide publicity given to the sub- Ject of the better baby" the manufac- turers of standard infant foods, of sem sible and hygenic clothing for the baby, of nursery fittings and furnishings, and. last but not least of articles intended to lessen mothers cares and difficulties dur ing the baby's months of helplessness, have efficiently contributed. The coun- try is broad awake on this vital subject of healthy babies.

we have said we would do from the first and that is what we are g'ng to stick to- Now is the time for tie com plaints. 1t is our business to hear them and we are going to listen to them all and make a thorough invest; gation of the claims presented to us. If we find we are wrong we will make thirgs right.
 This is board of tax equalization, rot tax raiders. We are trying to do our duty as we see it and in doing our duty we desire to be fair to all Con- cerned. True. there has been con- siderable raise. but we have rut ev- erybody on an equal footing. It is not a case of one man paying an enor- nous tax and his next door ncighLor paying only a frivilous sum. We have kept within the bounds of our author ity in these assessments and have valued all property according to our honest estimate of it's cash value.
 "We have not been able to decide upon any set form of handling the complaints. There are so many that we could not take them alphabetical- ly, but must just let all who wish come and handle them as they come. There is plenty of time, as the board has un- til the first of August to hear these complaints. and theer is no necessity of everybody rushing down the first day"

Carranza and His Loot

Harry H. Dunn in Cartoons Magazine.
 Besides the loot of the Carranza regime Emiliano Zapta, the notorious bandit of Morelos. becomes a mere pickpocket and Villa an unsuccessful shoplifter. Where Zapata and Villa have robbed individuals of thousands, these so-called constitutionalists have footed nation of millions-and have done it with the recognition of some of the greatest governments of the civ iliZed world.
 Eight million dollars of the loot they have saved for themselves came from ransoms of rich merchants and 'ha- 'cendados," from sales of confiscated properties rightfully belonging to men whose only crime was that they had had the temerity to oppose Carranza politically. All manner of vices have been licensed in every city in the re- public. The national and state lotter- ies, which were always honestly con- ducted, at least. were abolished, and in their places anyone who had the money to grease the palms of Carranza officials could open any kind of gam bling game he wanted and operate it in any manner he chose.

Probate Judge W. T. Lawler, be- came definitely known tonight. After the finding of the body today weighted down in the Tennessee river two com panies of militia were sent here to pre- vent violence. which was feared wleE the tragic climax of bitter political fight became known.
 Later in the night it was rumored that one of the men who could not be found early in the evening lad re- turned to the city. The home of B. D. Overton, for a number of years cir cult clerk and Judge Lawler's recent opponent in the judgeship race, Was entered by officers. It was sad that MT. Overton was not at home. No tr- rests were made.
 Both Sheriff Phillips and Chief of Pc lice Kirby say warrants have been worn out for at least three very well known citizens. but decline t.. off c;ally make known the names, 'earin4 publicity might hinder them ill serv- ing the warrants.
 The coroner's jury was imianele early tonight and remained in session UT til nearly midnight, when recess vas taken until o'clock Monday morn ihs. At that time Attorney General w L. Martin is expected to assume rharg, of the investigation. It also is planned to draw a new grand jury to .nves tigate charges of frauds at the pri- rlary when Judge Lawler was re- nominated Two grand juries have mol returned indictments.
 The town was quiet at midnispt, but Sheriff Philips made no effort ;o c"n' ceal his anxiety over what might oc- GU; should arrests be made. The large cl owd that gathered in the courthouse square dispersed early but up tc mid right many persons were on the streetS which still were patrolled by the ua' tional guardsmen from Florence ant Decatur.

 RECITAL IS GIVEN
Miss Lillian Holt, Talented Young Pianist, Heard at
 Cable Hall

The second graduate recital of the Southern School of Musical Art was giveD last night at Cable hall by Miss Lillian Holt. a talented young pianist, pupil of Prudence Neh.
 In the various compositions, Miss Holt showed herself to be the possessor of a carefully trained technic, which enabled her to give a spirited and vigorous per formance throughout.
 She has ample assurance and d pleas ing personality and would seem to have all the requisite of a public performer. Her programme included the Sonata op. 2. No. 3, a Schumann novelette, Chopin waltz, Tschaikowsky troika, Mcdowell concert etude, Song of the Mesa by Homer Grunn, an American composer, and concluded with the first movement of the Mendlessohn concerto.

sonable chance of getting in contact with them.
 The raid on the camp of tho small infantry force at San Benito resulted in one Mexican being killed. The band of raiders is not believed to have been more than 30. The engagement on the Mexican side of the river was, from a military point of view, insig- nificant, but army officers pointed out tonight the necessity of running the bandits down once the chase has been begun.
 The tension at General Frnstons S he adauarters was evident There waa no indications that orders would be sent to General Parker to withdraw Major Anderson's forces, but probably b. tomorrow the force wodld be strengthened.
 From here General Funston and lis staff are regarding carefully not oliy Brownsville and the country beyond but every port of entry and especially Fl Paso and that territory in which General Pershing,s force are operating It is believed probable that break al one point will mean the break at every point on the border

BODEK FER IS SUMMONED

No murder in recent years has caused so much excitement here, and within a few minutes after rumors that the body had been found were confirmed there was a crowd of several hundred people in the courtyard George H. Bodeker of Birmingham has been placed in charge of the case and the coroner's jury has be- gun an investigation.
 Judge Lawler's disappearance from his office had been noted by a few friends and in view of the activity of a special grand jury, which was Investigating the election in which Judge Lawler was a winning candidate it was thought that he had absented himself from the court house in order to avoid going before the investigators.
 It soon became known, however that Mrs Lawler did not know where the judge was, and then his friends began to be alarmed. Sheriff Phillips on Thursday received an anonymous mes sage saying that if he would search a certain slough of the Tennessee near Whitesburg he would find something. The sheriff thought it referred to con cealed liquor and a search was made in the bushes, disclosing nothing. No more was thought of the matter until Sat urday when it began to be feared that there was foul play involved in the dis appearance of Judge Lawler.
 Sheriff Phillips and his posse went to the locality in the morning prepared to drag it. and they soon found the body. It is believed Judge Lawler was met by the murderers in some dark portion of the city, knocked unconscious by a blow on the head, and taken to the country ill some vehicle, then shot to make sure of his death.
