SPEED LIMIT BROKEN
TAKING MEAN ADVANTAGE

Last Sabbath was a fine day and
many autos were seen to exceed the
speed limit in the city Beautiful.
Our city Dads established a
twelve mile limit through the prin-
cipal street of Extra with an eigh-
teen mile approach there to; then,
when leaving the twelve mile stake,
again could speed up to eighteen
miles to the boundry line. This
liberal limit should be respected by
all who turns a whea, between
boundry lines. BY many we are SORRY
to say it is NOT respected and often
we notice cars going past at a
terrific ruthless speed. We believe
this disregard of the speed limit
will cause an awful accident at no
distant day. 1t should be controll-
ed before some one is killed.

JUSTINIE'S SILENT CAFE

will be oh, so select! In the first place. no one will even have look in until he kicks in with $50, and then he or she will have to be passed on by the N. B. c. and Justine's social secretary up at her home at 1 West Sixty-fourth street.
 Justine, who Is just 1s. made her debut in the "Follies Bergere' as a little mes senger boy, but it was easy to see that she was never intended for messenger uniform. The coolness which sprang up between Chandler Christy and Harrison Fisher because Chandler saw her first in Watch Your Step' and persuaded her to pose for him was only cleared up when she decided to divide her time equallt between them. By the time she appeared in the 'Follis of 1s16' she was the most sought after artists model in New York, and was frequently to be seen smiling from the covers of half dozen maga- zines on the stands at once.
 She is of Swedish descent, and Anderns Zorn, the we'll known Swedish artist, painted her portrait while he was here recently and sent it back to Stockholm for the Royal Gallery. Shortly after she received a manuscript letter from King Gustav of Sweden. The interviewer does not read Swedish, but the general con- this:
 Dear Justine: If you are ever in my town. be sure to look me up."

First Meeting in South

q had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Anna Howard Shaw upon her arrival in Birmingham last night to be the guest of Mrs. Solon Jacobs" said Frank Willis Barnett. T reminded pr. Shaw of the fact that more than 20 years ago she opened the first suffrage convention ever held in the south in Atlanta and that she led in prayer. She recalled the incident perfectly and chatted reminiscently about the details of that gathering. That was the first time I had ever seen Dr. Shaw.
 We discussed the wonderful change in sentiment in the south toward the suf- frage proposition since that time and she was highly pleased over the prospects for the south soon joining the west and many of the northern states in giving the ballot to women. I consider Dr. Shaw a most remarkable woman and one of the ablest speakers and leaders in the country. Much of the progress of suf- frage is undoubtedly due to her ability and sagacity.'
 Dr. Shaw was met at the station by Mrs. Jacobs, Miss Amelia Worthington Miss Mary Parke London and several oth- CTS Her stop in Birmingham was very brief.

REMARKABLlE NEW REMEDY

James H. Hare, in Leslie's.
 1H UROPE is so ardently occupied in
 l staying her millions or in binding ~ up the wounds of other millions in whom the breath of life exists that she has little time to discuss wars stimula- ton in the progress of mechanical and scientific development. No other service directly resulting from the war has in- terested me more as a boon to humani- ty than the application of "ambrine" to the burns of soldiers.
 Though discovered by pr. Barthe de Santfort several years ago the treatment has only recently obtained recognition. I saw 'Tambrine' treatment first at the military hospital at Issy les Moulineaux. The matron in charge, Madame Van in Paris and a woman of marked charm, introduced me first to young officer, Lieutenant Cordier who had undergone the treatment and showed no scars, though it was said he had been horribly burned on the hands.
 Madame de Santfort led me to a room where seven or eight nurses were taking dressings from what I concluded was a lay figure. The head of the figure was enveloped in a mass of bandages, and both hands also encased in large bundles of cotton. On closer inspection I was hor- rified to find that the figure was man. As I approached, the cotton mask was

Food Crops in Baldwin

pr. D. L. Wilkinson has returned from Loxley, Baldwin county, and says the farmers at Atmore have about 100 acres in Irish potatoes and that there is a con- siderable acreage in Baldwin county.
 These potatoes are now large enough to eat" he said, but the farmers will not dig until the crop is further ad- vanced. There is a considerable acrea ge of cucumbers up in Baldwin county and we'll advanced.
 'The crop of miscellaneous vegeta bles is promising, but insufficient. Labor is scarce and high and there is more un- plowed land between Montgomery and Mobile than I ever saw before. Satsuma oranges were killed to some extent in low places, but the bulk of the crop was un- injured by the February freeze.
 This section of Alabama Is coming to the front very rapidly through velvet beans, corn. hogs, cattle, sheep, peanuts and truck. Scarcely any cotton is being planted"

stripped from his face, and the matron less!'
 My first impulse was to run from the room, and to try to efface the sight from my memory. However, as the patient seemed to be in no pain I stood my ground. The face I looked upon had been burned raw and treatment was only be- ginning.
 The patient saw operated upon first had been In an explosion at Soissons and it did not seem possible that he would be cured without being disfgured, but was assured that since his case was be- ing treated within a reasonable time, the skin would not show cars. Several of the men acting as orderlies, with clear healthly looking skin. were very much worse before trea atment, it was said, than any in the hospital at that time.
 The preparation comes in the form of wax compound The ingredients are still a secret. It is applied to the burns with a brush or piece of absorbent cotton-at a temperature of about 65 degrees. Cot ton is then placed upon the wounds, and again the ambrine is applied and is al- lowed either to dry gradually or is as- sisted with an electric fan. In very bad cases the treatment is performed daily, the old dressing being taken off and a new one applied. LAmbrine has also proved of inestimable value in treating frozen feet. One of the nurses told me there were over 200 cases being treated at that time.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

If you know anything worth while. keep it to yourself. The fellow who doesn't is always telling it.
 Any man can tell you that women do not know the value of money. But she can go downtown with dollar and have department store wagons delivering packages at her house for a whole day.
 Orange is the fashionable shade for women this spring. And a whole lot of lemons will wear it.
 We want to congratulate the movement for the city beautiful and the move ment against unnecessary noises. The women are wearing fewer barber pole stockings than formerly.
 A girl will feel sorry for man long enough to marry him. Then she will spend the rest of her time feeling sorry for herself.
 t, Anyway, the girl who marries for money isn't going to be a bit more disap- pointed than the girl who marries for love.
 Instead of cussing when you have to walk upstairs to find match, you should b. thankful that you do not have to use flint and steel like your ancestors.
 If man has corkscrew and beer opener on his knife feels equipped for any emergency.
 It is none of our business. But every now and then you will see married couple who remind you of mule hitched up with thoroughbred lilly Abusing the umpire won't get you much In baseball nor in anything else in life. As man grows older he discovers that he gets better food at home and begins losing his interest in restaurants. It must be tough to be girl and be passionately in love with spring onions and a man at the same time. Adam was one of the few men in his tory who had no friends to come around and tell him how to raise his boys. Why is it that married men are broke because they have families and single meH are broke because they haven't?

A PREPAREDNESS INCIDENT

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 As a Pennsylvania express train from New York came over the Schuylkill bridge yesterday morning 8 man looked out the car window and saw the soldiers on guard. The man made highly dis respectful comment.
 He didn't notice that directly behind him sat an unobtrusive individual reading a newspaper, This second parsonage kept near the man who had made the remarks about the soldiers. and when the latter stepped from the car in Broad street station the other touched his arm and said:
 You and I will take little walk down to the postoffice."
 In amazement, the man, presumably a German sympathizer. protested until the other showed him the badge of a United States secret service agent And they took their walk. M,

SIT. AUCUsTINE NIGHTS

W. D. Howells, in Harper's Magazine
 By night Gin St. Augustine) you may hear the Hgroes sweeping the streets, doubly darKling over their surface, and softly gossiping together. Theirs are not the only black voices you hear for their casual race seems to have no more stated hours for sleeping than eating. Their mellow murmurs, especially when the nights are warm, rise in what seems perpetual joking, as if from their hu- morous pleasure at being alive together in the same amusing world and if you have no worse conscience than the talk CTS, their voices will lull you again to the slumbers. they have broken. It is as if a swarm of blackbirds. carrying news of the spring northward, had swept chuckling through the trees and f1ut- tered the fans of the palms and the leaves of the magnolias with such com ment in their course as would naturally occur to blackbirds.

 This country has long taken high rank in literature. And the time will soon come when it's musicians will be reckoned no whit behind it's men of letters in intellectual achievement.

From the New York Sun.
 P0HE advent of the Jazz band, with
 all it's trail of frightfulness, has
 GS not been entirely without some good. For one thing, 1t gave Justine Johnstone, the dazzling beauty in "Oh, Boy!' who causes the footlights to flicker whenever she comes on the stage at the Princess, a brilliant idea. The Jazz band' perhaps it should be explained, is form of western ruthlessness imported 10 Broadway from the Barbary Coast It consists principally of trick cornetists and trap drummers, who play on cow bells, tin cans, wash buckets and other barnyard apparatus. A full Jazz orches- tra includes everything except musical instruments. The Jazzbo reign of schrek- lichkeit in the Broadway restaurants ex- tends from the circle to the square and up most of the side streets. Sagacious restauranteurs during the Jazzbo num- bers are now serving ear muffs on request to fractious patrons who insist on re- taining their hearing. The difficulties of dinner conversation increased so rapidly after the jazz bands came in that ever tete-a-tete table communication had to be abandoned for a form of sign lan- guage.
 Justine who is-not has-one of the best known figures on Broadway, has fre- quently been victim of Jazzbo bar parity and believes that the pendulum will swing soon in the other direction. By way of beating the pendulum to 1t she conceived the scintillating idea of the noiseless cabaret.
 There is too much noise in the caba- rets. I want to start silent midnight entertainment where a select little circle of the right sort of people may meet after the theatre" said the reigning beauty of New York, as she is .acknowl- edged by her enthusiastic press agents, when she was seen (and it was some eye fulD last week with regard to her enter prise.
 Justine Johnstone's Little Club.s which is to be- little group of silent thinkers, or, as some insist, a silent group of little thinkers, will open in the Forty-fourth Street Theatre building, th& former home of Castles-in-Spain and the Bull Ring-in-the-Air. The clubroom dec- orations will be in silent colors, princi- pally gray and rose, and will be fitted out on the lines of an English summer house, but not at all like the one in the 'bril- liantly shocking play at the Hudson. Oh, mercy no! She was somewhat re- ticent about further details of her silent show. She wants to knock 'em off the seats with a surprise. It is a. fair guess, ! however, that there will be plush car pets everywhere and that the entertain CTS will be barefoot dancers and that the
 music for dancing will be silently pro- jected on a screen by a movie machine.
 There may or may not be rubber dishes. but there will certainly be rumb walters. Justine will rollsroyce over from the
 Princess every night after the show in
 one of her three silentknight "moeters"
 and will act as hostess and everything. \

By Henry w. Lonfellow Thou, too, sail on. o Ship of State! Sail on, o Union, strong and great Humanity with all it's fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate! We know what Master laid thy keel, What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail and rope. What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope! Fear not each sudden sound and shock, Iris of the wave and not the rock; Iris but the Hopping of the sail, And not rent made by the gale. In spite of rock and tempest's roar In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on. nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers. our

 Our faith triumphant O 'er our fears, Are all with thee-are all with thee!
