IN CUPID'S DOMAIN

L. M. Murlin, the we'll known real
estate man of this city, was united in
marriage to Mrs. Minnie Bicking, at
Denver, Col, ON the 4th inst. Mr.. Muir
lin returned to this city last Tuesday
evening with the intention of closing up
his business affairs here, his bride re-
naming at her western home, where he
again expects to join her about October
1st. The couple will then go to San An
tonic, Texas, where the bride has extern
sive property interests, to make their
future home. Mack, " as he is famil-
iarly known to all Celina people, was re-
garded as hopeless case of single-bles-
sedness, though h rumor had it otherwise
many times during the last fifty or sixty
years. But it has happened. Well, ac-
cept our congratulations, along with the
old Mercer county contingent, and may
the sun never set on your happiness.

Celina said goodbye to the second
selective draft contingent with great
pompt and pageantry Wednesday.
Flags futtered from every point OF
vantage, business suspended, bands
played, schools, veterans and organiza
tions marched and counter-marched,
men in khaki gave the military aspect to
thronging thousands, and mingled with
the cheers for the departing contingent
wearing flowers and carrying comfort
kits, were the tears that could not be re-
strained.

war means. We have grown accustom-

GOT into TROUBLE WHILE
TRYING To KEEP OUT OF IT

Chas. Craft and family got a severe
shaking up last Monday evening about

ching were out of commission, and to
keep out of the way of passing auto he
got too far off the roadway. Three of
the children were thrown out and the
wind shield smashed, but no one was Sc
riously injured.

sand people assembled at the Playground
last Sunday as the result of the an
nouncement that rally of the Sunday
schools of the Churches of God would
be held at that place. 1t was such pro-
nounced success that it was decided to
have future reunions, and with that end
in view W. R. Thomas was chosen chair
man and Miss Flosa Buck secretary.
Addresses were made by Revs. Turner
and Snavely, pastors of the allied con
gregations so splendidly represented at

The vehicles were going in opposite di-
rections and all was we'll until the buggy
turned to cross the road in front of the
machine, which was then too close to
turn out of the way.

celluloid windows, must be made very
low and extended well out over the
side rail of the body in order TO shed
the rain and consequently it obstructs
the vision. But the new design of
permanent top is built much higher,
with the side of the roof directly In
line over the arm or side rail of the
car, permitting an exceptionally broad
view for the passengers.
For instance, when sitting in an
open touring car, with the canopy top
raised, ones highest range of vision
while passing down a city street is
approximately about as high as the
top Of fl it-story windows of the
buildings. With the new permanent
roof the autoist can see well up to the
tops OF the average buildings which
he passes.
The instantaneous, nationwide pop
ularity and demand for this type Of
body Is best illustrated by the fact
that more than half Of the leading au-
tomobile manufacturers in the United
States have adopted 1t as part of their
regular equipment for 1917.

CLOSED CAR RIDERS
FREED FROM CASTE
Expenditure for Extensive Linn
CUISINE to Get Comfort Un-
necessary With Top.

Up to a short time ago motoring in
anything but a closed and costly linn
CUISINE was just about as agreeable
as riding, attired in summer togs and
straw hats, from Philadelphia to New
York in midwinter on q fiat car. For
this reason, winter motoring was
largely confined to the few OF wealth
who could afford expensive limou-
sines.
The anti-dust advantages Of the per-
manent top are among its strongest
features. Dust is usually drawn By
suction over the folded down top of
the open car, thereby forming a whirl
of sand and dirt Immediately over
and within the tonneau. With the
Springfield type body, this cloud of
dust is diverted by the permanently
inclosed back OF the body and the
metal roof overhead.
The permanent roof has no disad-
vantages even for those who do not
care to ride with the ordinary top up.
1t is true that the average folding or
canopy top, which, on account of its
small, loosely attached, flexible cloth
side curtains, with almost Opaque

NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Seattle Policeman Invents Electric
ally Operated Device.


ally Operated Device.
Policeman William G. Carr. Seattle,
Wash, has recently invented an cleo
trically operated traffic signal which
has been successfully tried. Unlike
other electric signals, Carr's can be
placed directly In the middle of the
street by suspending it from overhead
wires, and II does not block traffic in
any way, giving, at the same time,
maximum efficiency.
The new traffic signal consists of
four frames, each frame facing the
traffic, containing a number of Nrian-
gular yanes on pivots. They are oper-
ated by a traffic officer standing or
the street at any one of the four cor
ners. Through a button control the
vanes are made to revolve in such a
way as to form the words go" or
pressed again the word ''Stop." With,
each change of signals a gong is -au-
tomatically sounded. After the rush
hours when traffic policemen are
taken OF the street, the sign can be
left in neutral, so that neither of the
words appear. 1t Is estimated that
the new traffic signal will be a sue
cess.

PERSONALS
SENSABAUGH STARTS
 FIVE BOWLING ALLEYS

Birmingham will have some real bowl ing alleys. This announcement was made yesterday by Roy S. Sensabaugh, new man in this district. who is con structing five of the prettest alleys in this section in the basement of 1924 First avenue. The place will be known as the Birmingham Bowling Alleys.
 Work on the alleys has been in prog ress for the past two weeks, and they are now in fine shape. The opening of the alleys will be held today.
 A feature of the new alleys is the au- tolnatic pin spotters, something that has not been put in use in Birmingham here tofore. Mir. Sensabaugh will use the min eralte balls exclusively. Two alleys will be used for tenpins alone while other forms of amusement connected with bowling will be practiced on the remain ing alleys.
 The place is exceedingly well ventilated and shower baths are being installed for the convenience of bowling fans. An un- usually large number of electric fans are also noticeable.
 Mir. Sensabaugh plans to organize teams immediately and try to place bowl ing on an equal footing with any other sport in Birmingham. He is an excellent bowler himself, and will be glad to show anyone what he knows about the art.

Pig iron yet unaffected directly by war influences is sweeping on. Buying for the more extended future has been moving westward. Prices again have advanced generally.
 In Pittsburg, Valley and Lake districts there has been something of a spurt un- der fresh demand for this year, and as result of recent selling for next year on a scale which has not been disclosed previ- ously some makers along the lakes have booked such business in malleable and foundry that 50 per cent of their output for the first half of 1918 now is under contract.
 Various automobile builders at Detroit have bought actively for next year and still are figuring. Northern foundry and malleable more readily commands $40 Furnace for this year with BPS for mex! year more freely quoted.
 Basic has grown scarce and. some con- sumers who still have to buy for this year are facing problem. Early basic has sold at s3S and even $40 valley, the former price being made on one lot of 5000 tons. For last half $35 was paid on a good tonnage. Bessemer also is scarce and has brought s42 and as high as s4s valley has been quoted.
