Referring further to the international situation, the Correo de Manha says in an editorial article that the moral soli- darity between Brazil and the United States is absolute, but that the choice of methods for it's expression depends upon circumstances.
 "In our own case" the editorial as serts, "the Brazilian foreign office has avoided the peril attendant upon a radi- cal solution. but not at the expense of maintaining silence incompatible with our national dignity. In any event, the gravity of the present situation makes it necessary for us to be active in mak- ing indispensable military and naval preparations in order to prepare to meet any eventuality. Our navy must he abreast of all modern developments"

TN THE PICTURES OUT
By H. s. RYALL

 Triangle: Thelma salter and Frank Keenan, in The Crab"
 Trianon: Dorothy Phillips, in The Price of Silence
 PICTURIzATION OF "FROU FRoU"
 AT STRAND
 We have at the Strand today, ladies and gentlemen, very, very Frenchy play, with all the frenchy frills, frivoli- ties and follies attached.
 Alice Brady appears in picture dram atization of "Frou Frou,' but carrying the screen title of "The Hungry Heart
 There is the young and frivolous wife who cares less for her doting husband and child than she does for the pleas ures outside the domestic pasture. Then there is the wifes sister who gradually takes her place in the husbands affec- tions. Although the wife has brazenly coquetted with another man, she throws a few fits when she discovers how af- fairs in the household have drifted and runs away with her affinity. The hus- band then gets into the action and stays the lover. The erring wife returns home and dies, but not the penitent creature you would imagine. She evidently feels that she has been a very much misun- derstood young woman and passes away with anair of slandered innocence.
 Alice Brady is supported by Gerda Holmes and Edward Langford. It is an exceptionally well produced picture and Miss Brady's acting is above and be- yond any criticism.
 Sessue Hayakawa, the wonderful Japa-

man made a motion that the matter be referred to a committee to take up the matter with the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company and try to get them to place a light at the station. The motion was carried.
 John Phelps, superintendent of the Central Foundry company, petitioned the council to be allowed to close up Eighth alley between Twenty second and Twenty-third streets. so his com pany might erect new foundry The petition was granted.

 E. D. Thomas was elected alderman from the Fourth ward to succeed All derman w. J. Austin, resigned. MT. Ross stated that Rad Batson, the new county engineer. would act as city en- gineer for Bessemer if the council wished and MT. Batson was designated as city engineer. This office was formerly filled by Miner & Brown.
 An ordinance to regulate the opera tion of pool rooms was referred to the judiciary committee.
 The Central Foundry company is re- ceiving bids for the erection of their now Acton shop. and work on the new structure will be begun just as soon as the contract is awarded, and 1t is not thought that more than week will be taken up with this. The new shop within itself will be a complete foundry and will adjoin the plant of the company in operation at present on Seventh avenue and Twenty-second street.
 The people of Bessemer are much grati- fled at the action taken by the Ala bama public service commission in grant ing the petition of the Southern Rail- road company to be allowed to operate it's passenger trains over the tracks of the Alabama Great Southern railroad through Bessemer.
 A verdict in the amount of $60 was re- turned in the case of Tom Graham, pro ami, Vs the Sloss-Sheffeld Steel and Iron which was tried in the Besse- mer division of the circuit court of Jeff ferson county yesterday.

 FRANK KEENAN, AT TRIANGLE.
 Thelma Salter, the brilliant child star, and Frank Keenan are at the Triangle today in "The Crab.' This is a picture story of an old man called '"The Crab, !" by the villagers because he was never known to smile or say a pleasant word or do kindly deed.

Io@0 Gre I
Hog. State

A. L. Young, the genial Fourth
street grocer, has received copy of
the Griswold (Iowa) american which
tells of a sale Of hogs at that place,
which gees to show that Iowa is great
for hogs. Here is what the editor OF
the American writes in his paper:
We feel safe in saying that there in
not man in southwestern Iowa who
has sold more hogs from one farm
than has Thomas Gittins, who re-
sides some five miles south Of town.
The first of the week he sold lot OF
spring pigs to the Griswold buyers
that brought him as nice sum OF
money as any one man has taken for
the sale of hogs He had 152 head
in the lot and the average weight Of
them was 2S41a pounds. The price
received was II cents per pound and
the check given amounted to the sum
of $5,1S760. If there is any town in
this part of the state that can beat
this record we have not heard of it.
We failed to mention that Mr.. Git
tins has another lot Of 100 head that
he will soon place on the market.
