Parls was inventing. but the masses
.oi Americans would have nothing to do
with the idea, and full skirts were Of
tered TO everybody who could buy them
by the smartest houses in this country.
Yet France went on definitely taking
width out of her hem, and now she
puts her cards on the table and says /.
Two yards or less for street clothes,
as well as evening gowns" She does
not intend to bind in the figure from
waist TO heels, as in the old sheath
skirt but she docs intend 10 make her
spring clothes narrow at the ankles.
Satin Is Emphasized.
The shipments of French clothes that
have just come in are not being shown
to the public, but they arc being Of
fered to all the women who are going
IN for gayety at the southern resorts,
as well as to those who arc excessively
tired of the reiteration on every side
of the French models that arrived in
September.
Among these models satin Is empha-
sized 1t comes in Sray, in ivory, in
beige and in black Dark blue is not
featured in any way.
The gown sketched today is of ivory
colorcd satin, with narrow lower skirt
and a floating tunic that hangs closely
to the figure. The bodice is slendcrly
cut and the sleeves arc straight and
make no pretense OF ending exactly at
The wrist or fitting the arm. They
have cuffs of white tulle embroidered
IN silver and trimmed with chinchilla
There is wide, flat collar of the EN-.
,roidered tulle with ohnchilla, and the
'oft, vaguely outlined belt Is Of the

one minute when Cutler threw Mar tinson on the floor.
 Cutler fell also and Martinson, like flash, hoped on Cutler. He happened to catch the spread eagle hold. Cut Ter didn't have the slightest chance to work out of the hold and Referee Parry tapped Martinson on the back, signifying his victory.
 The fans sat back in their chairs at the beginning of the next fall, ex- pecting to see some real wrestling. Their expectations were fulfilled, for both Msrtinson and Cutler fought fur iously for the fall which would de- eide the match. After about 20 minutes of tussling with both men trying num- erous holds. Cutler secured another head scissors and together with an arm lock pinned Martinson's shoulders to the mat.
 Referee Parry gave satisfaction and won the praise of the crowd. It was announced that Young Zybosco had challenged the winner of the match. Promoter Parks had not decided last night whether he would put Cutler and Zybosco on.
 The match was attended by a mum Der of we'll known citizens. A number of ladies were also in the audience. The entire Birmingham baseball team also was in attendance. F. B.

ADJUSTMENTS
At The Lyric

Eccentric dancing features rather interesting bill at the Lyric theatre. While the touches of comedy kept the big audiences in a good humor and a rather remarkable musical number proved diverting, the dancing took first honors.
 Pat Rooney and Marion Bent of fered At the News Stand" The team presented smart littlessketch, which was potpourri of songs and dances. Rooney is a remarkable eccentric dancer and received large ovation.
 In Around the Compass every lit- tie twist of the terpsichorean art was presented. The act was billed as a story in song. but it might have we'll been called an act in pantomime. One of the Neary brothers had a good voice and both could dance.
 Al Fields and company presented a slapstick farce, "The Vegetable Hunt CTS" with lot of rapid-fire humor, which was rather amusing. The sketch was novel.
 Charles Semon, a rather angular musician. played about seven instru- ments, including the swinging ukulele. or something like that. He was forced to respond to several encores. for there was no doubt but that he was enter taining.
 Finks mules, whole flock of hybrids, closed the bill The rather obstinate animals had been trained to perform several unusual stunts and the act was a high-class animal num- ber
 The Pathe news pictures opened the bill.

.CAL0MEL SELDOM

 days work

Every druggist in town--your drug eist and everybody's druggist--has mo- ticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same req sen. Dodson's Liver Tone Is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re- suits" said a prominent local druggist Dodson's Liver Tone is personally euaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents and if if fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodsons Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine: no biliousness. sick head ache. acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause in- convenience all the next day like vio- lent calomel. Take does of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak. sick and nauseated. Don't lose a days work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vigor and ambition.-Adv

Movie Mottoes

Strickland Gillian in Film Fun.
 It doesn't take many feet of some pie lures to make one reel.
 Yes, Edna, the movie films run just as fast in Philadelphia as elsewhere.
 A clean play sometimes seems dirty to patron whose mind needs censor ing.
 A great many more people pose for the movie cameras than are photographed by them.
 It is bad luck (for everybody around you) to eat onions or garlic just be- fore going to the movies.
 Some of the people whose pictures in motion you see are great deal better than you think them. and some are worse.
 If we knew any people who did the things our children watch in the movies we wouldn't let our children go near those people. A great many people believe that all who fail in the speakies go to work for the movies. But this is not true. There aren't that many actors in the movie business. Many of those who fail in the speakies stay right on in them. We have seen them lately. A great many people wonder how Doug Fairbanks can stand it to play his parts in the movies and what exer- else he takes to enable him to do 90. It is only by playing so vigorously in the movies that Doug keeps strong enough to stand the exercise he takes.

Auto Accidents Increase

From the Electric Railway Journal.
 Careless and indifferent driving, mani- festing the lack of safety first operation on the part of automobile drivers Is evil derced in the accident report of the De- troit (Mich) United Railways for the year -1916, which shows a total of S7le collisions between motor vehicles and street cars, or an increase of more than 6 per cent over the number of 1915. In each of these cases the motor vehicle was on the track or attempted to cross track at the time when a street car reached the srot. This shows a condition over which the street railway has no con- trol and, with the general increase in traffic. since the number of accidents of all kinds involving all other vehicles and pedestrians had increased less than "A per cent during the same period, the ma ior portion of the responsibility is placed upon the drivers of motor cars.

Charles Cutler of Chicago defeated Paul Martinson, the Dane grappler, in the opening of series of wrestling matches which will be staged at the Jefferson theatre, last night before a large and enthusiastic audience. The match was one of the fastest and best ever staged in Birmingham and won the praise of the large gathering of representative men present.
 Cutler won the first and third fall but only after calling stiff opposition from the husky Dane. Cutler won the first fall after 4 minutes of sensa- tional wrestling. Martinson grew peeved at times and attempted to rough it." He found, however, that Cutler was fully capable of taking care of himself and soon the Trough stuff disappeared and the match settled down to a real fight
 Cutler won the fall with a head scissors Martinson. however. offered a most stubborn fight
 The second fall came like a flash and took everyone by surprise. The men had been on the mat for about

IMPORTANT RULINGS
 ARE MADE BY HE. J. SUPREME COURT.

Washington, April 9.-New and inn portant rulings defining public and private rights, some regarded as marked departures along progressive lines and involving fundamental ques- tions, were announced by the supreme court today in series of opinions.
 The principal decisions were:
 The Oregon law establishing a nini- mum wage for women in any occupation was upheld as constitutional by a vote of four to four.
 Oregon's law, fixing 10-hour day for workmen in manufacturing establish ments was sustained as constitutional by a vote of to 3. Chief Justice White nolds dissenting. with Justice Brandeis not participating.
 Price fixing restrictions by means of license for public use of patented ar ticles of the Victor Talking machine and many other corporations were declared illegal and void, the court dividing six to three, Justices McKenna, Holmes and vandevanter dissenting
 Patent monopoly was further circuns- scribed for public benefit, by ruling that the Motion Picture Patent company the so-called moving picture trusD and others similarly circumstances, cannot restrict use of their patent machines to mate rials licensed for such use.
 The anti-rebating clause Of the inter- state commerce act was held by the court in another decision, to extend to 4 an European forwarding agency, the court declaring that any payment by a carrier to a shipper in consideration of shipping of freight over it's lines is pro- hibited."
 The law against fraudulent use of the mails, the court also decided, extends to those causing mail matter to be i- legally deposited even though such per sons do not themselves physically post the matter
 Women's minimum wage and mems hour-of- f-service laws of many other states are affected by the decisions upholding the two Oregon statutes. The Oregon laws were the first of their kind to come be- fore the court and were conceded to rep resent fundamental questions between wage workers and employers not hitherto maintained by the nations highest tribunal.
 In the patent monopoly" cases the plan by which such appliances have been given to the public upon royalties with d license merely for their use-not an outright sale-was declared void as mere and poorly concealed purpose for maintaining and fixing prices to agents and purchasers"
 Reversing it's ruling in the Dick mime ograph'' case. the court held, in dismiss ing an infringement suit of the Mo- ton Picture Patents company, that pat ents of machines cannot prescribe what other materials shall be used with their products. The decision permits use of competitors films in any moving picture machines, removing restriction said to be potential power of evil over an in- dustry in the amusement life of the na- tion.''
 Patents of machines, the court declared, are limited to the mechanism itself; pat entees may not restrict their use to any particular supplementary materials, and the public may use any materials neces- Sary to their operation.

Frau Kupfer's lap; that of the money taken in, she had spent, for her enter tainments and their food and wine, for her own living expenses and those of her daughter, including luxurious clothes, and for interest on investments, all but about SO0O00 marks of what she had taken in.
 She had purchased a villa; she had, peculiarly enough, founded a genuine business in central German city. she had even invested in German war loans and forgotten about 1t and failed to call for the bonds. The two and a half to three millions meanwhile represent only the net loss of her clients for her gross income has been vastly greater, and has dwindld to three millions because of repayments of investments.
 Her arrest has been the local sensa- tion of the month, and her former office and home have been the scenes of large and excited crowds. But the indignation of Berlin Is not directed at her at all, but rather at her own dupes.
