Jeanne Lanvln has invented a new
 kind of Continental army hat which
 is really tribute to the presence
 of America in this war as an en-
 thusiastic ally of France
 
 New York, August 13-onee upon T time the mothers who travelled to Paris looked upon Jeanne Lanvn as the fairy godmother of their childrens costumery.
 To own a hat and frock that had been created by this quite delightful woman who had children of her own was to feel that the last word. in style had been se- cured.
 When the mother, who knew the whereabouts of these utterly enchanting bits of juvenile apparel arrived in Paris she went at once to Lanvin, and to the Galleries Lafayette as second choice.
 It's all very well to discourse earnestly on the immediate pilgrimage to the Louvre and the Luxumbourg to the conner Into French soil, but long experience in Paris, summer after summer, with hosts of American women who had just stepped off the boat train from Cherbourg or Ca lais, has convinced me that the first ques- ton asked is: What are they wearing" and they order the first taxi to start for the quarter in which dwell the goddesses of the high Olympus of dress.
 I remember certain young American, an artist, who went up to the Salon des Independents and was highly amused by a stranger who entered the door on his bicycle, revolved around the room at a brisk pace and went out as he had come In.
 It was a symbol to both of us of the way many strangers see the art of Paris Of one thing, we were sure. No woman would go through the Bon Marche or the Galleries Lafayette in such manner.
 One woman who arrived on the early boat train hot day in July said to her party that afternoon at tea that she had spent practically the entire day at the Louvre.
 Her husband smiled with pride and re- ferred to her artistic taste. She looked puzzled for a moment, then said: "Oh, you foolish one, I was buying clothes and such clothes at such pricesn' There is a difference between musee and a magasin," reflected her husband, ''one that I shall never again forget" i LAWNS CONTINENTAL HAT | We are going to have the Kerensky | and the Pershing hat, the cowboy skirt, 1 the poncho, and now, in far more digni- | fled manner we will reflect America 1 warlike spirit in the same Lanvins intro | duction of the hat worn by General l Washington and Light Horse Harry Lee. 1 To go with such a hat some of the de- | signers should take notes from the old l portraits of that espoch and revive the 1 graceful and becoming neclSwear of finely | pleated frills of muslin that stood ur

PLANS FOR WHEAT
 CONTROL FINISHED BY HOOVER'S BOARD

Washington. August 13.-Plans for con trolling the distribution of wheat and for regulating the manufacture and sale of flour were completed today by the food administration.
 Creation of a wheat control board will be announced as soon as President Will son has approved it's personnel. This board, comprising officials of the food administration and leading men from the
 grain and milling industries. will be made responsible for putting into effect meas ures announced last night by the food administration.
 Regulations governing the control of wheat from the time it leaves the pro- ducer until it reaches the baker will go in effect September 1. To eliminate speculation all elevators and mills of more than 100 barrels daily capacity will be required to take out government li- cense. The hope of the food administra- ton is that the industries will cooperate readily with the government and that many of the drastic powers given to the President in the food control bill will not have to be invoked.
 In fixing a price to be paid producers for wheat the food administration, it was said today, will seek to give the farmer fair price and at the same time
 name figure which will permit the pub lie to receive bread at price much below that now prevailing. Licenses will be granted to flour mills only on condition 1 that they charge a fair and reasonable price for their product.
 | As soon as the wheat and flour indus | tries have been put under regulation the administration plans to extend its control l to bakeries, hoping to reduce the price now paid for bread There Is no present i plan to put cereals other than wheat under immediate control, although sugar soon may be under government super vision.

WOMAN IN CHARGE

For the first time on record the Bir- mingham Chamber of Commerce has a woman handling the steering wheel. She is as capable as can be, and added affableness that reflects credit upon the one who placed her in charge.
 This lady is Mrs. Driscor, the right hand aid of the general manager of the chamber, and since MT. Everett Is away in St. Louis trying to get the 1918 session of the National Commissary association, she Is actively in charge of operations The mailing out of over 10000 Alabama Merchants" the official publication of the Alabama Merchants association, is no little task within itself, but Mrs. Driscoll is straw boss of the job with the dig nifty of a veteran.

At the Lyric


 The big vaudeville attractions at the Lyric for the first half of the week, with the Pathe niws pictures, made all unusual show for Birmingham thea tre lovers last night. The four vaude- vile acts mutually excel each other. each one seeming to be the best on the bill, and the programme closes with a Imaginable acrobatic feature. . Few jugglers of the class of Cash mingham While he makes juggling an art his audience almost concludes he is doing it by magic. His balanc- ing work was especially good.
 Johnson and Johnson in "A Few Moments of Minstrely,'' with the re- peated ripples of laughter started caused a great commotion in the mirth of the audience. Comical dancing and humorous singing, spiced up with timely and snappy jokes, made their feature thoroughly enjoyable. They were followed by Isabel D'Armane, as- sisted by Mr. Darrell in "The Demi Tasse Revue" This number of the programme won approval with the singing and dancing of the clever Isa- bel, we'll supported by Mr. Darrell.
 "The Four Swors'' made "colored- ism" turn pale with shame They out negrofied the originals in being ne groistic" In addition to the usual dancing, singing and jokes, all of which were well carried out, they added rare grotesque atmosphere.
 "The Bards" was a short and humor- ous number in their acting as Sun shine Cut Ups" and carried ako some fascinating acrobatic stunts,
 The Pathe news pictures gave thrilling military scenes and were pro- nounced better than usual. The house was crowded at the performance and the entire theatre we'll cooled ana pleasant.

Belief of Operators

We have good reason to believe that many more than majority of the min- CTS and mine workers of this district are not in sympathy with the desire of the union to call strike for recogni- ton of the union. which means closed shop. If the operators meet with the officers of the union it will drive from them the sympathy and support of the men who do not believe in the union or it's methods, although many of them have been driven into the union for self protection, and these men. if driven away, will be distinct loss to the operators and to the district, for they comprise the greater part of the law abiding good citizens in and around the mines.

Secret of the Trouble

The Gadsden Journal puts it this way:
 trouble between capital and labor, it is thought, may be found in nothing more or less than the activities of pro..Ger- mans. To foment internal trouble in the countries of their enemies is a we'll known trick of the Germans. It is a pity that the workers, as a rule, can not know this The man who agitates labor to discontent and dissatisfaction with employment and wages merely for the purpose of causing strikes and labor troubles is as dangerous as the man who smuggles valuable military information to the Teutons and should be handled as such."

Should vacate the Houses

The miners who propose to strike on the 20th inst, should. in justice to the vacate the houses which they occupy that are owned by the company inn mediately< upon ceasing work. Any property holder, be he merchant, me- chanic, laborer or professional man, would expect this in case an employe resigns his position. The operators will have men ready to fill all places va cated and the new men must be prop erly housed.

Check Weighmen

c. H. Nesbitt, state chief mine tn- spector, questioned by a newspaper on the subject of check weighmen at the mines, said that the law requires this official to be chosen by employees of the mines, and that there had been no complaints that check weighmen have not been selected properly, and, of course, it is to be presumed that the law is being rightly enforced. If not the law is the remedy.

Not a Question of Unionized Labor,
 But of eermanized Labor

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record says:
 Alabama has a great opportunity to sI strike. or if if a strike strike is s forced by the coal miners. Alabama should see that the law is so rigidly enforced that every man who wants work is protect ed. No parlaying, no dilatory tactics no political play of weak minded men will avail in this hour. If Alabama will handle this threatened strike brought on by pro-German influences as it should be handled. 1t will set an example to the nation. It is not 8 question of unionized labor. but ot Germanized labor"

Not Contractors, But SineIe-Ha anded
 Coal Miners

A Birmingham paper, advocating the side of the paid labor agitators edi- torially called upon the coal operators to publish their pay rolls as evidence of the fact that the coal miners of this district are receiving higher compensa : tion for their labor than any other workmen in Alabama. One of the com panies responded promptly, showing that in many instances the pay ex. ceeds S200.00 per month. Not one of the names given is a contractor. A postal card to either of the men named will probably bring a response to in quiry as to correctness of the published pay roll.

trict quota, will be passed over to the second or third as may be necessary.
 Reviewing the question of discharge for dependent relatives. Provost Marshal Gen. eral Crowder issued a supplemental rul- ing today holding that persons should not be discharged because of dependents resident abroad.
 PROVIDERS STATEMENT
 "The object of the law permitting per sons to be discharged provided he has a person falling within any of the classes of dependents. dependent upon him, was to prevent such dependents becoming a charge upon the American people," the ruling says. "A dependent residing abroad could not become such a charge. Per- sons claiming discharge because of such a dependent cannot properly be dis charged on ground that such discharge is advisable within the meaning of the act of Congress.
 CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS
 That conscientious objectors to war are not to be excused entirely from serving the country was made clear in another ruling by the provost marshal, holding that such persons should be sent to the mobilization camps along with others drafted to be assigned later to noncom- batant branches of the service. It is pre- stunned they will serve in the quarter masters corps, the medical corps or other units not employed in actual combat
 Only in rare cases are railway mail clerks to be exempted. The postoffice r " fhot lished reports of blanket exemption for this class of postal employees were based on misinterpretation of the de- partment order covering postal ex- emptions. Only scheme clerks. chief clerks and assistant clerks of the rail- way service will be given exemptions, and most of them are above middle age.
 AS TO POSTAL EMPLOYES
 The postoffice department announced also that it would certify exemptions for postoffice inspectors but not for postmasters. Postmasters of the first, second ad third classes, however. are exempted specifically under the law.
 It developed today that the navy de- partment. misunderstanding the war department ruling as to voluntarily enlistment of registered men. had in- | StTQClCd ltS ICSl O1liSCTS lO dC- cept registrants into the navy even if they had been called before their local selection boards for examination. The mistake quickly was corrected re- cruiting stations being told by tele- graph that no man called for examina- tion under the draft law could be ac> |cepted into any branch of the military or naval service as a voluntarily re- cruit. Until called, however, registrants are free to enter the army. navy or ma rine corps.
 Plans to provide publicity facilities at camps of the national army and the national guard are to be left entirely to the discretion of the camp comman- ders, who will be authorized to permit newspaper correspondents to establish offices within the camp limits and to maintain private telegraph or telephone lines there if deemed advisable. No such privileges will be granted, how ever, until the camps actually are es- tablished and the, commanders on the ground.

FRAWLEY PARTY
HAS GOOD HUNT

Every member of the Frawley Com
pany, which In playing at the B11ou
theater this week, returned from the
Big Island with marvellous tales of ad-
venture. During the several days
spent on Hawaii they saw practically
everything worth while and many
things that the average tourist does
not see.
j. r. Willadsen, manager OF the
company, while exploring the pit OF
Halemaumau, believed that his days
as a theatrical manager had come to
an end when part of the oyerhanging
cliff fell into the boiling lava and
threw up a spout nearly so feet high.
Not having seen the falling mass, he
believed the Volcano was In eruption
and that he would be toasted to . Gin
der before regaining the edge OF the
crater. :. +. 81 i.
Every member of the company, in.
GLIDING the ladies, climbed down to
the Dit and dipped canes into the moi
ten mass. Some of them returned
without eyelashes. But they agreed
that the experience was worth the
loss of some of their personal beauty.
Not the least of the pleasures of the
trip was an impromptu wild pig hunt.
with guides the company turned up a
number OF, pigs and three we're brought
down. The hoofs and tusks of the
quarry win be mounted in gold and
silver and kept by the performers as
souvenirs of Hawaii. A number Of
motion pictures were taken by George
Austin Moore, who has a movie cam
era and will picture his trip to the
