Smashing the Austrian lines.on the
Carso plateau and North of Gorilla,
the Italians have made additional and
important gains besides capturing

In an assault between Jamiano and
the coast the Italians carried a strong.

taken.
Near PLAYA, Cadorna's men carried
by storm the heights at the head OF
the Palliona valley. BY this they con.
nected their lines on Mount Cucco
with those on Hill 1868, both of which
were taken early in the recent fight.
Ing. Four hundred prisoners were cap.

Any plain, small, tailored hat, worn
with a veil to hold 1T IN place, answers
the purpose for motoring. But for
those who are devoted to this recrea-
ton. and for long journeys, specially
designed hats have proved themselves
superior. Experience has taught the
devotee of motoring what she needs,
and those needs are not so simple, as
a glance at motor hats might lead one
to believe.
The first requisite of a motor hat is
comfort, and it must fit like a glove.
1t must be a soft hat with tailored
finish, that becomes q street hat when
it parts company with a veil. Above
all, come what may in the way Of wind
and exceeding the speed limit, it must
stay on. This last necessity has
proved the mother of invention, and n
hat appears among IS that triumphant
ly sticks to the head no matter what
happens. Tive examples Of it are
shown in the group of three motor
hats pictured above.
This hat is made Of brafds or fab
RIGS or the two combined, in a variety
Of becoming shapes, and usually has a
soft crown and a narrow brim. And
| 1t is in the management of the brim
that the designer has solved the prob
lem of holding the hat to the head.
| Just across the back the brim is ab-
sent. 1t comes to nj end on each
side. Between these ends q strong
elastic band extends, sometimes in

left has a fabric crown and a braid
brim. Across the front the crown is
supported by four squares of braid,
each finished with n row Of fabric.
covered buttons. With the removal of
the veil this becomes u more than pro

Fine lines Of delicate blossoms and

Two long sprays running out from this

Every Facility to Be Of fered for the Public to Invest in These

The Birmingham postoffice is preparing to meet the rush for the purchase of war savings certificate stamps that is anticipated when this attractive invest 'ment opportunity is offered to the public.
 According to information received by Postmaster Snlyer, the necessary supplies have already been shipped from Wash ington and on December 3, the date on which the war saving certificates will be placed on sale, the local postoffice will be ready to meet the new demands that will be made upon the office force. Arrangements have been completed to furnish every facility and convenience to the public.
 On account of the advantageous fea- lures of the war savings certificates which are superior to any investments ever offered to American savers it Is expected that there will be a strong de- mand for the savings certificates from the very start. The war savings certifi- cates pay per cent interest, compound ed quarterly. However, the government places a limitation on this opportunity. No person is permitted to purchase over s1q0 worth of these certificates at any one time and no one is allowed to have in his possession more than Sl000 worth of war savings certificates.
 1t is pointed out that the war savings certificates as an investment possess de- cided advantages over the liberty bonds For instance the purchaser of a war sav- ings certificate, who pays S4 for his cer- tificate, plus the amount of extra cents ranging from F to 23 cents, depending

George Walsh Cyclone of Humor and the Comedy Dis penses is Hilarious-Fm Shown at Loew's Today-Bill Changes Tomorrow, The Awakening Being

George Walsh in "This is the Life" IS as full of pep as a minstrel is of Jokes' and from one thrilling scene to another he loops the loop, carrying his audi ence with him. He is sizzling with en- thusiasm and his smile fairly melts his audience in his favor.
 The new comedy drama deals with young man, Billy Drake, who is par ticularly happy and carefree and whose father finds difficulty in bringing him down to every day work. After many efforts all of which the young man turns aside largely with joke the father, who is a munition manufactur- CT. decides to send him to South Amer ica to guard a intuition shipment. He declares Billy must go or lose his in- come.
 Billy Drake loves his ukelele and mo- ton pictures, but he is also fond of his income. So Billy agrees to go. Before he starts, however, he sees a young girl who is particularly beautiful. She is in front of motion picture theatre. He becomes possessed with the idea that she is motion picture .'uueen ;, Through a breaking down of her auto and his repairing it he becomes ac- quainted with her. When he goes on board the ship to sail for South Amer- ica the girl is on board. There is also

Won Nut tenburg gains the confidence of Billy and takes him into his stateroom. There Billy sees the camera and is convinced that everybody on board is connected with the motion picture outfit
 Soon after the vessel reaches a South American port a revolution starts. Throughout Billy is sure that the whole thing is a picture play and even when he is captured by the government forces and is ordered shot, he takes it as a piece of camera work.
 At the last moment he is impressed with the fact that the revolution is real and by a clever .ruse he escapes He rescues the girl who is held a pris- orer and after a spectacular fight they get away Federal troops arrive and capture Won Nuttenburg. It appears that the girl is really the daughter of the American consul and Billy has be- come her real hero which causes a hap py ending in the play.
