Brown Knows Movie Artist

Movie fans are always interested to know how some of their favorites on the screen look in real life," said Murray Brown, who Is a big movie fan him. self, land I can truthfully say to the ad- mirers of Madame Olga Petrova, whom I met at Bar Harbor last summer, that she is very beautiful and wonderful woman. Tho table at which I sat in the hotel at Bar Harbor was next to the table occupied by Madame Petrova and her husband, John D. Stewart. Stew art is a theatrical man, and has stu dio near the Plaza hotel in New York. I didn't meet Madame Petrova for sev- eral days after I met her husband, but I had been looking at her, for she is a very stunning woman. Her hair is 8 marvellous shade of red, and her big, brown eyes and fair skin make an un- usual combination. She has a superb figure. and Is really one of the most in- teresting women I've ever talked to. Her last picture, The Black Butterfly I think, was perhaps the best thing she's ever done.'

Growing Interest
 I'm School Tax

M[THEN the educational amend
 w ment was ratified by sweep ing majority in November those who led in the campaign felt little or no concern as to whether counties would avail themselves of it's provisions the right to vote a 3-nlill tax levy this year or defer action to some other year. The principle of the amend ment proposition was what educators and philosophical citizens were fighting for.
 But since Jefferson county is to hold an election on the 30th of Jan- uary and Etowah county soon after wards, there is 8 growing interest throughout the state in early de- cisions, especially in such counties as are we'll able to go forward without delay.
 Of Alabama's sixty-seven counties few of them may be doing we'll to wait until 1918 before attempting to vote 3-mill or even 2-mill levy. But the majority, when the urgent need of schools is considered, will not be rising to the occasion if they do not call tax elections this year for producing revenue for school better ment. Certain it is that no invest ment could be made to pay better from broad and ethical point of view than 3-mill tax.

MARRIED MEN MOST SUCCESSFUL


 Do you think you are saving money and being successful by remaining bachelor? If you do. read the January American Magazine and see what writer says about tho ratio between married and sin gle men. Part of it is:
 Show mo one middle-aged bachelor who has made q success of his life. and I'll show you % married men who have. Probably the ratio is even greater than this. but I prefer to base my contention on demonstrable fact Of the 7 Presi- dents of the United States, only one lived and died bachelor Nineteen of them married before they were 30 five before they were 40, and two after 70. Yet, ao- cording to the census returns, taking the |entire population of the country, the pro- portion of single mon to those marFied, widowed or divorced. is about Q ta 0"

Nothing But Apples

"The greatest of the great American crops, viewed from a local consump- ton standpoint, is apples" said D. B. Bird of Denver, Col, who owns ex- tensive apple orchards in that state. Notwithstanding the fact that the apple raiser does not reap all the ben eflts of his crop, for on a conserva- tive estimate to rniddlemen, who neith- CT produce nor sell to the consumer. gets approximately two.thirds of the profits, yet he realizes & better per- centage of profit than almost any other crop. Of course. the consumer who demands the pick of the crop must of a necessity pay the price asked by the retailer. yet were 1t not for the middlemen the consumer could and should get twice the amount both as to quantity and quality he now gets fof the prevailing prices. I hope to devise a plan wherein I can ship ap- ples direct from my orchards to the retailer and when I do, you can take 1t from me, the price of apples will drop materially, and the consumer will be the bene1ciary."

BURROWS ALABAMA BRIDE

exceptional in her studies of her manners.
 Judge Thomas w. West of the Morgan county law and equity court. north Ala bama, appears to have the most definite recollection of her.
 The judge admits. with southern elo- quence. that he once entertained a great deal of tenderness for the rare flower that had been planted in glorious Ala bama from the tropic shores of the sister continent to the south. Then he speaks vaguely of gracious beauty. silken lashes and jet black eyes. But his testimony is probably prejudiced.
 When she was 15 the father took the visit of few months, but the stay heightened and she never returned. In Buenos Aires Oracle met Alfred Dug gan, wealthy Enslishmans man of unusual success and ambition. A court ship of few months was followed by marriage in the same city in which her father and mother had wed. For time they lived in South America, but business conditions finally permitted Dug gan to return to England. where they lived in London until his death
 There she first met Lord Curzon. As Mrs. Duggan, Oracle Hinds was popu- lar figure in London society. She was sweet. unaffected and always beautiful. When her husband fell i'll she was his constant nurse, and when he died she withdrew from social life and returned to Buenos Aires. where she had spent her carly married years. Meanwhile. Lord Curzon's wife, who had been Mary Victoria Letter. daughter of a Chicago millionaire, had died.
 Mrs. Dussan and the peer exchanged letters and established firm friend ship. which was strengthened by her yearly visits to London. Their engage ment was announced only few weeks before the marriage Mrs. Duggan arriv- ing in London from Buenos Aires only shortly before the date set.
 Lord Curxon Is 57 years old. He has been . world traveller. statesman and an executive of the highest rank.

.setters Running Strong

''The lovers of the dog at work in the various field trial events during the past year have been treated to surprise by the showing made by set- ters.' said Hugh Seals yesterday. From January l. 1916, to January 1, 1917, the actual number of wins by settlers totaled PAS; those of the point CTS 155, making a clear majority of 90 in favor of the long-haired species. The 12 months previous to this gave the pointers the edge over the settlers.
 ''The breeders the last few years have discovered that to improve the setters stamina and bring 1t back in the running. they must breed more to the dog than to the pedigree, and the results are showing in all recent events. Many dogs in the past that have looked good on paper have proved failures in the field. but from now on believe the settlers are on the map to stay"
