their memories"
He was asked to send a late photo

College Girls Athletics.

A recent observer of the women's
colleges reports tremendous growth
in interest in athletic exercises. For
merly the college girl might play GRO
quet, and few OF the more strenuous
tried tennis. That was about all.
Their sporting fields were called re-
creation grounds, and even the word
'.athletic" was considered unladylike.
Today the college girls are playing
baseball, polo, basketball, lacross,
they have swimming and hockey and
about everything but football. Inter-
collegiate sports have become conf
mon.
The time may even come when wo-
men will compete with men in these
sports on even terms. When you con-
slider how women of primitive ages
did the hardest of manual labor, there
seems no reason why women may not
before many years acquire physical
strength equal to men. II would be a
terrible blow to some of the men S
colleges to be beaten by the girls.
Yet the latter will keep training rules
better, and will think quicker. There
may be dreadful downfall one of
these days for the kings of sport

RUSSIA AND JAPAN
GIVE ASSURANCES
TO UNITED STATES
Both Nations Answer In
quiries AS to New Treaty
and It's Effect on China

Washington. September 14-Both ia
pan and Russia have given the United
States formal assurances that the new
Russo Japanese treaty does not repeal
or affect the treaties of 1907 and 1910 in
which those nations pledged themselves
to maintain the integrity of China and
the open door policy.
The assurances were given to Am
bassadors Guthrie at Toxic and Francis
at Petrograd in response to inquiries.
The state department today received
from Mr.. Guthrie note on the sub
ject addressed to him by the Japanese
foreign office stating in unequivocal
terms that Japan had not for moment
entertained an intention of departing
from these policies.
Department officials let it be known
that the statements were entirely sat-
isfactory, and that inquiries regard
ing the new treaty, over which they
had been considerably perturbed prob
ably would not be pressed further.
The japanese note received through
Ambassador Guthrie was made public
by the state department today as fol-
lows:
THE imperial government desires to
assure the American government that
the new convention is in no sense de-
signed to repeal or modify the pro-
visions of article 2 of the convention
concluded between Japan and Russia
on July 81, 1907. nor have the imperial
government entertained for a moment
any intention to depart from the policy
to which they have avowedly commit
ted themselves respecting the main
tenance of the independence and terri
torial integrity of China, as we'll as the
principal of equal opportunity for the
trade of all nations in that country. On
the contrary, they are as strongly con-
WINGED as ever of the usefulness of that
policy in the interest of the general
peace and stability in the far east.

hearts"

Call for Increased Expenditures
By ALLEN j. kREBs. Jr.


= can II De done!
This is the question facing the COM
missioners of, Birmingham on the eve
Of creating a budget for running city
50 square miles in area for Il months
The commissioners are wearing a Woe
begone look these days on account of the
gravity of the situation which confronts
them To figure out how to run city
efficiently on less revenue than last year
with more expenditures absolutely neces-
sary, appears serious problem.
Commissioner Ward, upon whom the
bulk of theswork in making up the bud
get for the coming fiscal year, which
ends September 81, is placed. is reticent
on this vital question. 81 .s5sf
IF your reyenuehis $3.50, 900 less than
last year and your expenditures for the
coming year are approximately $25, 900
more, what are you going to do?" was
the question asked him.
THE commission will take that matter
up sometime between now and the I'D
of the month" was the answer of the
president of the commission. He frowned
in way peculiar to men who are trying
to figure out a problem that seems hope
less, and continued: Regardless OF what
our revenue is and what our expendi-
lures will be, the commissioners of this
city are determined to stay within the in
come just now we. are going to do it,
and what means we will take to raise the
amount of money we will be lackinfi L
do not know, nor do any of the other
commissioners. We are determined to
run Birmingham as efficiently as posi-
bic at the smallest possible outlay of
money for the coming year"
Commissioner Hornady is worrying
about the maintenance " the schools. for
the coming year. Despite the fact that
an incidental fee has been placed on all
pupils of the Birmingham public schools
and higher fees are to be charged non
resident children, the proposition of run
ming the schools for the entire term of
nine months is serious one
Commissioner Truss is silent in regar

imperative in connection with the street
system of Birmingham
Commissioner Barber is worried over

ment. He is anxious to increase the pay
of his patrolmen. He realizes the need
of more detectives and patrolmen, yet
he knows of the financial distress of the
city
Commissioner Weatherly stated yester-
day that the problem Of making out the
budget for the coming year was a seri-
Gus one. The maintenance of parks,
which comes under his supervision. has
been cut to the bone Caretakers of
marked ability have been dismissed from
the service
The matter of further plans regarding
the public utilities, upon which the COM
mission has been actively engaged, costs
money. How, when and where will we
get the money to do all these things,
is one of the vital questions confronting
the commissioners.
City Comptroller Levy is now working
on a report of the city's expenditures
for the past IL months. This report will.
in all probability, be completed by the
10th of this month. 1t is thought the
report will be the means of making the
commissioners think harder than ever.
1t Will be almost impossible for them to
expect to derive as much revenue from
special ordinances this year as last.
The recommendations of Dr. Carroll
Fox and DIR. l.. l.. Lumsden, federal
the commission in toto. This entails an
additional expenditure of approximately
$4,000 year in the health department.
The ordinance passed by the commission
at the last meeting refunding the liquor
inspection tax will mean that the city
will have to return at the lowest esti-
mate $4,000 collected by this law which
has been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. Under the terms of the
injunction, following the Mcdonald suit.
the city cannot spend any of the bond
money authorized by the vote of the peo-
pie for Improvements
The street tax up to date has Melted
the city $4,000. This means that 5000 citi-
zens have responded to the demand for
$3.50. Suppose this law is attacked? Will
it be boomerang to the commission?
What are we going 10 do and how are
we going to do it, is the live question at
the city hall these days
And no one can answer,
