Small Banks of State
 Have More Money Than
 They Can Invest Now

Montgomery, October 11.-(Special.) Small banks in Alabama have so much money now they do not know what dis position to make of it. This unusual situation, which has developed since the sale of this years crops began, has been brought to the attention of the state banking department with the request that new fields for investments be sug- gested. All banks have more money now than ever before and it is coming in each day. Merchants and business men are obtaining better prices for their products and more money is needed to carry on their businesses because of the high prices. Each day some one asks Alex E. Walker, state superintendent of banks. to make some suggestion about the use of money.
 Three applications for permission to open state banks are before the banking department now, and others are sched- uled for submission soon. M. J. McDer- mott and associates of Mobile propose to open a state bank at Mobile with probable capital of $100.o00. Citizens Of Clanton and Wedowee have also re- l quested charters for banks. The one bank at Wedowee is opposing the request for that town. contending that there IS not sufficient business.

IT JUST in the last few months
 throughout the country many ave- " nues have been opened to women; things that they never dreamed that they could really do, but with their broth CTS and husbands gone to the front they have been and will continue to be use full, as well as ornamental.
 Now that Ruth Law is here with us at the fair, the question of women fiy- ing has heen greatly discussed, she being such a wonderful success. Someone, in speaking of airships, said:
 Aircraft construction is another Of the fields just thrown open to women. Many women have driven airships and volunteered for service, but 1t is only since the war that they have been well comed to the construction shops owing to the shortage of men. A leading manu- facturer for the government says that more than 60 per cent of his employees engaged in making wings are women, women exceliing men in the making Of wings and wing surfaces.
 'Women are at present for the first time being allowed by the federal govern ment to compete as mechanical drafts men in the examinations being held this menth.'
 he following from the Montgomery A vertiser yesterday will be read with much interest: The Court Street Meth- odist church was the scene of an in- teresting wedding Wednesday evening at s:30 o'clock when Miss Annie Gylmer Jcncs, one of Montgomery's prettiest young women became the bride of MT.

THE roPPLINe CATHEDRAL.

Des MONIES Register: An Ameri-
can war correspondent recently in
Rheims makes a report on the con-
dition Of the cathedral in which he
says that the destruction of two more
Of the flying buttresses will result in
the falling of the roof, and consequent
demolition of the entire structure.
Most of the damage to the cathe-
dral, he reports, has been inflicted
within the past two months, and two
or three OF the buttresses have just
been swept away by shellflre. Until
they went it was presumed that the
damage to the structure would be
incidental holes in the roof and sides.
Rheims is not occupied by troops.
The cathedral is far from the fortified
works or lines of communication. and
every shot which strikes 1t is dis
charged for the express purpose Of
striking it. 1t has been hit, accord
ing to calculations, over a thousand
times.
The strange part about the con-
tinued bombardment of the cathedral
is that all reports agree to a shortage

"sToNE SOUP" DISCOVERED.

Cleveland Leader: Science is hur-
rying to the rescue. Along sanitary
and military and mechanical lines 1t
has made marvellous progress. In the
culinary field 1t leaves much to be de-
sired. Now comes Philadelphia
chemist and offers mankind a mineral
soup that is pronounced fully as nu-
tritious as the finest of beef extract.
He told the Franklin institute the
other night how the substitute is pre-
pared. 1t is a decidedly peculiar rec
ipe and one that might well make the
ordinary cook book shudder. You
take portions OF sodium phosphate
and calcium carbonate and ammoni-
UNI sulphate. add a little sugar and a
small amount of yeast. These ingre-
dents are mixed and set away Until
reaction by autolysis ensues, and a
brown, sticky paste that has all the
nutritious qualities OF commercial
beef extract is produced.
According to the. chemist it is the
Yeast that transforms the inorganic
minerals into the pronounced organic
meat substitute. The yeast, contains
fermentation agents called engines,
which are responsible for the alter
alton. and produce the food qualities
from the chemicals. There were
doubters about the table at the
Franklin institute. They insisted
upon tasting "stone soup" and pro-
nounced 1t good. They even declared
that it was fully equal in nutrition
and appearance to the market variety,
and each Of the samplers pronounced
the odor remarkably beeflike.'
Incidentally the chemist announced
that the cost of stone SOUP, which
he called synthetic meat. is less than
that from the OK or sheep.

of artillery ammunition among the
German armies on the west front.
An observer in the Champagne dis
trict has reported within a week or
two that the French are firing five
shells to one sent in reply from the
German batteries, and that this pre-
ponderance of big gun fire has been
the prime cause of the recent sudden
advances by the French at Verdun.
From a military point of view. the
continued bombardment OF the
Rheims cathedral IL a waste Of shells
which are ever growing more pre-
cious. If the only military effect Of
the bombardment is to deplete a
stock of shells vitality essential to
other work, upon what theory do
those in charge of the German bat
teries justify the expenditure. Ger
tainly 1t will not make the French
fight any less tenaciously, and 1t Is
not likely to win very lively common
dalton in neutral countries. 1t would
be of interest to have an exact expo
sition Of the state OF. mind which
leads to the periodic attacks upon the

Syllabus: "a Where certain de-

on the trial, it is bad practice for the
court to read the answer to the jury

tice to merely instruct the jury as
to what the sole and only defenses
are. Where, however, the instruc-
tions, taken as a whole, are such as
to make it clear to any reasonably in
telligent man that these defenses are
not in the case and are not to be con-
sidered, prejudicial error will not be
presumed.

CITY IS
LIABLE
George Pardoe Filed Claims
With the City as Result of
Fall on Sidewalk
CLAIMS WALK DEFECTIVE
Had Arm Broken and Asks
City for $500 for Loss of
Time and Doctors Bill

AS the result Of a fall on Front
street on December 26, last, in which
he sustained a broken arm, George
Pardoe, a resident of this city, has
filed a claim with the city asking $500
damages, alleging that the city was
responsible for the condition Of the
walk
According to the information given
in the claim Mr.. Pardoe was walking
along Front street and when in front
Of the building at 718 Front street he
slipped on the sidewalk, fell and broke
one Of his arms.
Mr.. Pardoe claims that the sidewalk
at this point was unsafe, uneven and
slanting' and that this condition was
responsible for his fall. He also al
leges that the walk had been in that
condition for several months prior to
the accident and that he was exercis-
ing due caution in making progress
along the walk.
He states that in a distance of 18
inches-the width Of one of the con-
crete tiles used in thG sidewalk
there was a slope Of about two inches
and that this slanting condition was
primarily the cause Of his losing his
balance and falling.
He asks for $500 for the time he lost
and for physicians fees in setting and
caring for the fractured arm.
The claim was presented to the city
commission this morning and receiv-
ed and referred to the city attorney.
