DR. SEDDON SPEAKS ON REFORMATION AT
 CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Henry VIII Subject of Dis course of Reformation. Other Subjects Include
 WycIiffe and Luther

The movement among the Protestant churches all over the country for cele- brating the Fourth Centennial of the great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century finds an able and enthusais- tic ally in Rev. pr. Alfred E. Seddon, pastor of the North Birmingham Christian church. Some weeks ago he announced a series of 10 Sunday eve ming discourses on Reformation topics. Beginning with the darkness of the Middle Ages, he next delt with John Wycliffe, then with Luther, zwingle, Calvin. servetus, and last night he delivered the seventh of the series on Henry VIII.

platinum. The Indian idea of a setting was adopted instead of the Anglo-Saxon.
 Engagement rings were brought from other lands and other centuries to take the place of the solitaire, which was quickly thrown into the discard among fashionable and artistic people. Jewellers racked their brains for new ideas. The museums offered a thousand and one suggestions. The art of a Da Vinci was copied. Soon women began
 to wear marvellous bits of colored glass
 on the hand and in front of the cor sage, for which they paid amazing sums of money because of the intricate work
 manship demanded in the setting of the
 gems.
 It was about this time that colorful ic' elrv came into it's own. Heretofore, women had only flashed forth the too bliiEant sparks of the diamond or the
 tco cheaply copied softness of the pearl.
 The artists taught women that the for mef gem was not becoming to any face ever 2a. and that the cheap pearl was tawdry thing and should not be in- cluded in ones possessions.
 THE COLORFUL NECKLACE When the markets of the east were opened to America, because of the strin- gency of materials in Europe, there came
 about the fashion for wearing colored
 gems that had no name or whose names were buried in the books of the time Odd bits of quartz, colorful pieces of crystals that had been buried for cen-
 turies in the earth, balls of jade and
 pink glass. squares of lapis Iazuli bits of old carnelian, garnets strung together with jet and old amber mixed with rose quartz, were the combinations that fash ionable women adopted
 The sketch shows necklace of jade,
 amber. lapis lazuli and jet which has been arranged, through the influence Of
 the dressmaker, to accent the costume.
 The little Eton jacket over which it is worn, is of amber colored velvet, the
 buttons are of jet, and there is a touch of jade in the fine embroidery that runs about the edges
 Artistic women use these long chains

SIBERT BEST BIG
 GUN EXPERT IN
 WHOLE COUNTRY

Alabama admirers of Mai Gen. Will liam L. Sibert, who is in~command of the first expeditionry army sent to France. have looked upon him as pri- marily a great construction engineer but the Chicago Daily News quotes prominent army officers in that city viewing him in an entirely different capacity. The names of the officers quoted are not given but here is what one had to say:
 General Sibert is the best big gun expert in the country and leading 1u- thority on coast artillery engineerins. His selection was a happy one, as he is one of the most efficient officers in the service.
 That he has been appointed to that service is significant in one way. His being a heavy ordnance expert might mean that this country is going to play bigger part in the artillery work at the French and Belgian front than was supposed.
 Men who have been enlfsting in theN coast artillery" said another re- serve officer. might be among the first to be sent abroad" The general impression heretofore was that the coast artillery corps would remain at home.

only interest is to win prizes. They were stock cars made suitable for racing, chosen because of proved endurance. No other racing car of prominence so nearly resembles stock production as does the Hudson Super-Six Practically all of the notable racing cars and particularly those against which the Hudson Super-Six Special has racing. They bear slight resemblance to the stock production of any factory. Their cost is usually so great that not more than two or three cars are ever built. The Hudson Super-Sx is es- sentially production car

The Hudson Super-Six motor, moro than any other type, has minimized vibration That is why the Hudson Super-Six is more powerful and capable of greater endurance than other cars.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-02

Ralph Mulford has again demonstrated the en- durance of the Hudson Super-Six. At the Chicago Speedway June 18th 5000O people saw him establish new speed records for 150 miles and for 200 miles,
 special racing used It embodes all the details of design and construction that has counted for the records of endurance held by Hud- son Super-Six stock and racing cars.
 The motor is exactly the size as the stock motors. The design is different

 Endurance All Important
 Vibration is the foe to long motor life. It ac- counts for breakdowns and for high maintenance cost.
 Vibration is usually responsible for the cars fre Qucnt trips to the repair shop It is vibration more than anything else which forces cars out of speedway contests. Vibration accounts for diminishing power of motors.
 vibration and friction could be entirely elinl- mated there would be such thing as motor car ever wearing out. By reducing vibration the life of the car is prolonged.
 Vibration also reduces the usable power of the motor. Much of the power generated is consumed within the mo hv itc vifr

 DR. SEDDON'S SERMON

Henry VIII, King of England, whose relation to the great Reformation of the sixteenth century we are to con- slider tonight, lived from 1491 to 1547, dying at the age of 56. His reign be- gan in 1909, when he was IS and he reigned for 3S years. This, it will De seen, he was the contemporary of Luther Zwingle, Calvin, SareI, Eras- mus, Emperor Charles V, King Fran cis l. of France, John Knox, the Scotch reformer. Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, Thomas Cranmer and many members of the noble army of martyrs that is the crowning glory of English history.
 Three of Henry's children reigned over England after his death: Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth.
 Whatever may be the blemishes of his character, it cannot be, denied that physically and mentally he was splen- didly endowed. Second son of King Henry VII and becoming heir apparent to the throne on the death of his elder brother Arthur, he inherited, besides his royal estate, one of the largest fortunes ever amassed by a British sovereign. His reign commenced under most favorable auspices. His people testified their good will to- wards him at his accession with great popular rejoicings, they were disposed to love and honor him.
 His long reign of nearly 40 years was crowded with events in which he played a leading part; but our study tonight leads us to confine our atten- ton to those incidents that illustrate his relation to the great reformation

DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANNE p,Igs,uor,r FOR WOMEN

The markets of the east have been offered so freely to American mer- chants that women have rare oppor- tunities for color schemes in their costumes.
 New York, July 1.-Now and then, as the decades bring about changing fash ions, women take up and discard jew elry that is not made of precious gems. Always, through the changing centuries, women have altered the arrangement of the fine jewels they owned, for they were never content with the constant wearing of one accepted setting. Possibly the diamond solitaire as an en- gagement ring, placed upon fine prongs and cut deep point underneath, held it's own longer than any other jewel or setting. Generation after generation ac- cepted it without quibble. Men who felt that no engagement was complete with out the largest solitaire that their bank account could stand, gave no heed to a change in setting The traditional way of the jeweler sufficed.
 The jeweler himself took no thought of changing the arrangement of this one, glittering stone. He placed it above a band of gold in the same fashion that his forefathers had done when the land was young.
 DESCENDING THE SOLITAIRE
 When the time came, however, in the worlds development to smash most of its traditions and challenge all of its &C., cepted methods, some hardy soul ven Itured into the realm of the sensational by, ordering an engagement ring that was not a solitaire, not diamond and not a raised setting.
 It may have been an old sapphire that was chosen, square cut emerald or a pigeon blood ruby, but whaever the stone,
 it was laid flat against the gold band that held it to the finger and by it were placed small diamonds in an original manner.
 Then gold was dropped in favor of
