! IA h2Y DEAR BECKY: It seems that
 c V S storm Birminghams army of Christmas shoppers commenced this ! week a mass attack upon the citadel of Christmas gifts and Christmas prices.
 Every store, however, was ready with it's long counters piled high with material and manned with large force of saleswomen (and some of the very incest you ever saw, who were ever eager to please the most whim- sical
 The snow brought lot of children out, too, and many were seen in the shopping district. They walked with their mothers through the toy depart ment with an especial lingering and yearning for many of the wonderful things.
 Near the close of the day saw sew eral fathers and husbands appear In doorways, elevators and on corners, perhaps fulfilling previous appoint ments and were loaded immediately with bundles, while the kiddies munched hard candies and stuck close to the show windows like barnacles wondering why Christmas doesn't come at least once month. We saw many trenches taken yes- terday in the toy departments where tanks and submarines and battleships were captured without even a struggle. There were thousands of do1lies taken prisoner to be interned under the di- van. in closets and in dresser draw CTS until Christmas eve.
 The warning, Do Your Shopping Early'' has a double significance for the men, for many have gone and oth- CTS will be far away December 25 and they don't sell meshbags, fur wraps and other things for women in the regimenta1 canteens.
 It really seems to me that every moment each of us is being called upon to make some kind of sacrifice to help this or that charitable enterprise, to give ones time to knitting or other ways to assist the good women of our land who are fashioning all sorts of garments for our soldiers or sailor he- roes-but after all it is no more than what we should do.
 If you had heard Mrs. Prentiss Reed yesterday give that splendid talk on Alabama days celebration at the joint meeting of the Pierian and Shake- speare clubs at East Lake you would have felt how very little we had been doing and would have made new re- meet on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J.

 Speaking of Mrs. Reed, did you know that she and MT. Reed will leave early in the new year for New York to make their home? Well, my dear, she is Just one of the most wonderful women of this city and state and one that just at this time we can i'll af- ford to lose. She is most capable as well as brilliant and since making this state her home has endeared herself to hundreds of people who will bid her reluctant good-by.

 Examining Recruits for Tuberculosis From the Popular Science Monthly
 An American physician, Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, was sent to France by the Rockefeller foundation to study health conditions among the soldiers. He found that France is a hot-bed of tuberculosis. When the war broke out there were in all France only 1000 sanatorium bebds for the treatment of tuberculosis, and no tuberculosis dispensaries at all. When France mobilized her great army she sent thousands of tubercular men into her trenches.
 The United States army officers are anxious not to make that mistake. They arc, therefore, very particular about thee examination of the recruits.

A. P. ASKS INJUNCTION - SAYS
HEARST SWIPES ITS NEWS
New York, Jan. 9.-Charging that
Hearst's International News Service
"gets the news which makes up its
daily reports, and especially impor-
tant foreign news, in large part by
>bribing and corrupting employees" of
it's members, the Associated Press
has filed suit in the U. S. district
court here, asking for permanent
Injunction against the International
News Service to prevent such prac-
tees.
In his affidavit Melville E. Stone,
general manager of the Associated
Press, says:
ct appears from the affidavit of
F. W. Agnew, submitted herewith,
that this arrangement has continued
at least from January, 1914, to the
present time, and under it important
news gathered by the Associated
Press at heavy cost has been appro-
priated by the defendant and sold by
it at a great profit as if properly
gathered by itself from original
sources of information, with all the
labor and expense involved, when in
fact the sum was obtained at the tri-
fling cost of $40 per week, paid to
employees of the Cleveland News for
betraying the interests of their en-
ployers and Of Associated Press. -
The court issued an order instruct
ing the International News Service
to appear tomorrow morning to
show cause why the injunction
should not be issued. This order has
been served on Solomon S. CarVaIhO,
president of, the organization.
The A. P. alleges that the practice
has been continued for three years
and was in effect before the Hearst
organization was barred from Eng

Japan, but since that time it has been

FAMILY PUSHES INQUIRY TO
CLEAR LEWIS NAME

SLEHFN LEttlS INfAlUE
Pittsburgh, Jan. 9.-The Lewis
familys hunt for evidence that will
either convict or clear Bernard
Lewis of direct connection with the
murder of Maize Colbert was car
ried into Ohio today.
In that state a representative of
the suicides father was to meet a
man who has written that he saw a
man leaving the window of Maize
ColbeTt's apartments in the Wilton.
This man declares that he and a
friend with him witnessed the escape
of the supposed murderer and by
looking at good photograph will
be able to say positively whether or
not the man whom they saw was
Bernard Lewis.
Philadel phia, Jan. 9.-While po-
lice declare they have no reason for
believing Bernard Lewis did not kill
Maize Colbert, pretty model, they
are vigorously hunting for the slayer.
The impression prevails now that
Lewis was not the murderer.
Bessie Colbert, sister of the slain
model, does not believe Lewis was
the murderer. Several articles pre-
sumably connecting Lewis with the
crime were not her sisters, she said.
