KENNEDY'S SHOWS ARR|VEDLAST NIGHT Midway Will Be Located on First Avenue, Near Twen-
 ty-First Street

With the arrival of the Con T. Kennedy shows in this city late last night every thing is now in good shape for Fashion Week. The Kennedy shows came from Columbus, Ga, where they had a very successful week, and are greatly en- larged and improved since being on the State Fair midway here. Those interested in the entertainment feature of Fashion Week, were determined to have nothing. but the best in the amusement line, and for that reason the Kennedy shows were gwen the contract to amuse and please the many visitors expected in Birming- ham during the next six days
 The disastrous wreck near Columbus last November was the means of better ing the Kennedy shows, as much of the equipment was destroyed which has been replaced with new paraphernaIia Sev- eral new attractions have been added, and the best of last years features re- tained, with entirely new programmes throughout. The Kennedy shows made many friends in Birmingham last fall, and will receive cordial welcome from those who enjoyed the attractions at the State Fair
 Among the shows which will be here this week, are the Garden of Allah, Mo- tordrome, Rag Time Village, Miracle, Doc Turner's Wonders, Athletic show, Samar (Slamese) Twins, French Midgets, Car diff Giant, Russian theatre, Ferris wheel and carry-us-all. Either today or to- morrow the Whip" the latest riding de- vice, will arrive in Birmingham, and will be used here for the first time. It cre- ated big sensation in the east last fall and will undoubtedly be a big attraction and very popular this week.
 The shows will be on First avenue and Twenty first street, and the midway will be prettily decorated and brilliantly lighted for the many visitors.

i" HERE is practically no need of
 a censorship being exercised over the films shown in the Birmingham theatres of the better class. In fact, in point of truth there is no need for any censorship as the public itself which has to pay to soc the pictures is the severest censor of them all.
 In New York, Los Angeles and Jacksonville, Fla, where the great studios are located the brains that are directing the production of photo plays have only one idea-and that is to produce pictures that will please the greatest number. This is the age of acute competition for the motion picture producers and unless the photoplays are coherent, photographic ally perfect, enjoy artistry in acting and are free from all suggestive and salacious matter such films are doomed to failure The public is now too intelligent to be lured to the theatres by flamboyant banner ad- vertising that the nude will be shown inside. Such an advertisement might
 
 make the venture pay: therefore, the big producers whose packers are as honorable men as the capitalists in other lines are prone to frown on anything that is suggestive or lewd ill pictures
 Take, for instance, the Paramount pictures that are shown at the Strand theatre. w. w. Hodkinson, president of the Paramount corporation. has openly come out in favor of federal censorship of the films, although he opposes irresponsible and political censorship. which is the type usually current in cities.
 At the Strand, Trianon, Rialto, Colonial, Alcazar, Odeon Two, Prin- cess and Odeon One theatres the film service is from the high class pro- ducers, and are photoplays that have already been severely censored by the experts whose ideal is to please the public and not to offend it. At the other theatres of the city the class of films is of the same order. In fact, wherever the stamp. Passed by the National Board of Censor E ship, is shown with film, that pie ture can be safely recommended to

TEN in FAMILY STRICKEN
Measles Attack All But Father In
Illinois Scares Health
Officer.

Pana, Ill.-This discovery was made
here recently of ten cases of measles
in one family and the board of health
Immediately ordered a strict quaran-
tine upon the home. The cases are in
the family of Edward Bland on Wyan-
dotte street and include every member
but Bland.
Those i'll and belfast are Mrs. Ella
Bland, the wife and mother, and these
children: Mrs Mary f. Harlow, thir-
ty-six years of age; William D. Bland,
twenty-one years of age; Levi Bland,
eighteen years old; Mamie Bland, fif-
teen years old; Gertie Bland, twelve
years old; Susanna Bland, ten years
old; Irene Bland, seven years old; Cal
art Bland, aged four, and Fannie
Bland, aged three.
President William Fisher of the
health board beat a hasty retreat from
the Bland home when he went there to
investigate, believing that he had
found his way into veritable nest of
smallpox. Later physicians diagnosed
the disease as measles. None of the
cases are considered serious at this
time,

sToRK VISITS COST MORE
British War Baby Adds 500 to Par
ents' Expenses Above the Figures
of 1914.

London.-It is estimated that the
all-around expenditure on baby born
this year is probably from $1O0 to $125
higher than in 1914.
Food alone adds about SIS to the
years cost of the war baby. Milk mas
gone up four cents a quart and it is
said that the average baby consumes
from 400 to $50 pints a year. Baby
foods are up about 10 per cent. Feed
ing bottles cost, third more, and the
methylated spirit for heating the
nights feed has advanced from 10
cents to 25 cents a pint.
Baby garments cost more also.
Everything made of wool has risen 80
per cent in price; all the cotton and
wool mixture materials and garments
are 25 per cent higher, the wholly cot
ton ones, owing to the rise in raw
materials and labor, must be paid for
at the rate of about Is per cent more.
Nearly all medicines cost much more.
Perambulators are about one-fourth
dearer.

GIRL DIES AS PREDICTED
Fortune Teller Told PennsyIvanIa Girl
to Avoid Trips on the
Water.

Phoenixville, Pa.-The body Of Doro-
thy Barr, the seventeen-year-old girl
Of this place, who drowned in the
Schuylkfll river, was found about one
mile from the spot where she lost her
life when her canoe upset. Lock Ten
der Hennessy, at the Pawling locks,
saw the body floating in the river and
recovered it from boat.
The drowning of Miss Barr and the
finding of her body followed the pre-
diction made a week before the girls
death by a fortune teller whom she
and a girl friend consulted in spirit
Of fun. The seer then told Miss Barr
to avoid all trips or voyages upon the
water, and said she would take such
trip and would drown. The fortune
teller also predicted that after four
days her body would be recovered.
The girl laughed at the clairvoyant,
but the prophesy was wildly recalled
to the mind Of her companion when
the body was recovered.

home in Portland.
The ceremony began at IL o'clock
but was not finished until shortly aft
er midnight on account of a thunder
storm some place on the line.
This form of ceremony was made
necessary by the fact that Brugger,
who is engaged in building grain ele-
vators, could not leave Montana, and
Miss Hudnut's parents would not per-
nit her to come to Montana until she
was the bride of Brugger.

Adopt Plated Kilt.
sBy the time of the Middle Kingdom
ordinary individuals had adopted the
plated kilt, which for time, at least
in the Old Kingdom, had been the Pc
culiar property of the king; however
it is doubtful if the people ever wore
it of gold. On a wooden statuette OF
Seostris I, in the Eighth Egyptian
room, this kilt is represented as plated
all around, the two ends curving sym
metrically in front up to the girdle
The king also wears the red crown
symbolic of lower Egypt, while the
mate to this statuette, which is now in
the Cairo museum, wears the white
crown of Upper Egypt.
"Other statuettes, In the Sixth
Egyptian room, show what a variety OF
skirts existed at the time. The old
forms continued, although there was a
tendency toward a narrower, longer
skirt. The triangular projection, SC
fashionable In the first dynasty, be-
came subdued until it was quite mod
est. The long skirt which has been
described as typical of this time often
had high waistline. It was at this
time that clothing for the upper part
of the body first appeared, and Curl
Gus cape was sometimes pinned around
the shoulders. A heavy cloak or shawl
probably of wool, worn in the Old
Kingdom as an outer garment by both
men and women, now became common
'Changes in the costumes Of WON
en- from the old to the Middle Kingdom
were slight, but there were a few in
novations that showed the tendency
toward elaboration. A plain white
tunic was sometimes covered with a
network of brightly colored beads in
diamond pattern with bead fringe at
the bottom. A similar dress, excep-
tionally gay in color, dates from the
sixth dynasty. One statuette from
Assiut shows white tunic with a wide
border on the bottom representing
birds wings or leaf pattern, the lat
ter more likely, since it is painted in
green"

Wounded otter Bit Him.

Petersburg, Ind.-Homer Hays, aged
eighteen, was hunting frogs with a
small rife along White river, near
the island two miles east of here,
when he saw an otter lying on the
river bank. He shot at it and the bullet
hit it in the mouth. This so enraged
the animal that it jumped at him and
caught one of his hands, preventing
him from shooting a second time. He
finally shook the animal loose, and it
rolled down the river bank into the
water and dived out Of sight.

CHAMPION MULE
PACKER OF U. S.
DAILY Is Worlds Greatest Expert
on Possibilities Of Missouri
Hybrid.
IN CHARGE OF PACK TRAINS
Has Devised Many Improvements in
This Method of Transportation
Conducts School for MuIeteers
on the Border.

San Antonio, Text. w. DAILY,
chief packer of the quartermaster
corps, u. S. A., the greatest expert
on the possibilities of the Missouri
mule on earth, is here. His duty is
the organization of ten pack trains
and he is conducting a school for mule
teers
The model class Of the school COM
prises one gray bell horse and COM
pany of 81 white or gray mules all
veterans" for this is the pack train
that crossed into Mexico with Sibley
soon after the Glenn Springs raid.
Here is an inventory of pack
train: Packmaster, who gets 500
month but no rations; "cargador," $50
month and rations; blacksmith or
horseshoer, $75 a month, but no ra
tions: cook, $40 a month and ra-
tons; ten packers, $50 a month and
rations. Each individual in a pack
train has his own mount, so there are
to be IA riding mules and the remain
der-50 animals carry the packs. The
duties of the bell horse are to lead
the procession.
AS a general thing, each pack mule
will walk away with minimum load
of $50 pounds, so that means some
thing more than six tons of cargo to
the train, and if need be the cargo can
be raised to eight tons.
Over in the Philippines one Of Mr..
Days mules rambled around on noun
tain trails with $40 pounds aboard
and the load happened to be noun
tain howitzer. This mule, while not
awarded medal, was nevertheless
hero and saved the day, for the how
itzer put to rout any enemy apparent
" untouched by mere rifle fire.
When packers become proficient
they should be able to load mule in
about thirty seconds. AS DAILY figures
it, two months are required to turn
out a first class pack train of the sort
above criticism.
Many Years a Packer.
Nowadays the "aparejo," or pack
saddle, which DAILY invented for our
army, is made to conform to the mule
so there is little possibility Of the
heavy load chafing or injuring the ami
mails back.
Days experiences as packer start
ed in the spring of 1865 when he
crossed the British northwest terri
tories from Montreal to Vancouver and
was employed in bringing in supplies
on mule back to the Canadian mining
camps.
Then he engaged as packer in many
Indian campaigns of the United States
army, including the operations against
Geronimo.
When the Spanish war broke out he
was working on a railroad in Mexico
He enlisted Immediately and went to
Cuba. After the campaign he was
called to Washington, where he de-
vised improvements in pack-train
Transportation. He also went to West
Point to lecture.
From 1902 to 1909 he was stationed
at Fort Leavenworth and there made
further improvements in field artillery,
mountain and machine gun, engineer,
signal, hospital and ordnance corps
pack equipment. On February Is, 1908,
he was made chief packer of the army.
s'For mountain work no substitute to
take the place of the mule will ever be
found" said DAILY.
