Rival of President in Washington Here

In Washington. it is advisedly avowed that there is only one man wno vies with Woodrow Wilson for public acclaim. That man was in Birming !. ham yesterday
 Walter Johnson, the famous pitcher of the Nationals and the idol of the capitol was here. Some sharp witted person has suggested that should the United States become embroiled in war, Johnson would be relied upon to knock out the enemy with his Krupp-like fast ball. At any event. the big broad shouldered westerner is getting mili- tary training
 With the Washington club there is an army officer. Corporal Dean He has taught the members. of the club the regular military drill. And according to Walter Johnson. the abll players are getting to be pretty good soldiers. This drill feature was arranged to show the country that we are loyal,'' was the way he expressed it.
 Though Johnson is regarded as per- haps the foremost pitcher in the world, one would never suspect it from his manner He Is as modest and unas- suming as any mortal and Furthermore is supposed to be the most polite and gentlemanly player in the big league. Johnson is at home in Washington, as he married the only daughter of Con- gressman Rogerts of Montana.
 Birmingham-that is what he saw of it-made a deep impression upon the famous finger. He states that he is in splendid condition. and hopes to have big season.

MUNICIPAL LIGHT
 PLANT IS HALTED Mcdonald Appeal Prevents Issuance of BOnds-D0es Not Interfere With
 Plans of City

Birmingham cannot issue the s5Oo00o in bonds for municipal lighting plant un til the supreme court passes on it's right
 T. c. Mcdonald has taken an appeal against the ruling of Judge Sharpe, which was that the city had perfect right to vote $500 eco in bonds for such a purpose. The appeal will be heard by the supreme court during the spring, hence the is- sue will be held up for fully six months.
 The appeal will not interfere with any plans of the city.
 James Weatherly, commissioner of pub lie utilities. stated that the city did not intend to place these bonds on the mar ket for sometime At the present time, owing to the excessive price of copper wire, machinery and all kinds of equip ment the city does not think it wise to invest the $5O0,000 which has been author ized
 While the money will be spent in all probability upon the enlargement of the North Birmingham lighting plant, this will not be done until the materials may be bought more cheaply In normal times s500 900 would enable the city to extend its service to several thousand consumers.
 It is the belief of the city commission CTS that the supreme court will over rule the contentious of Mir Mcdonald as summarily as did the circuit court. MT. Mcdonald took the appeal upon the ad- vice of his lawyer Augustus Benners.

City Offers Rewards
 for the Miscreants

Il seems that when anyone in Bir- niingham is in doubt, they take some thing from the city.
 This practice has reached such q stage that the city commission has au- thorized three rewards, $50, s25 and $10, which will be available on April L. Though the coverings of the manholes are rather cumbersome and bulky pieces of metal. a considerable number If them have beei. stolen. To the mischievous youth of the city, Com missioner Truss attributes the fact that many of the coverings are taken off and scattered in old places.
 So much for the light fingered. hut another practice must bs taboo after April l.. Throughout the city the com- mission complains tha- citizens stop up the sewers with trash of various nature. Some throw hedge cuttings. boulders and various other impcdi- menta Hence a reward of $10 will be paid from the coffers of the city to anyone furnishing evidence of such a misdeed
 The commissioner of pu.!ic imprcve- ments said he had an entire tc.,,e of 31 men yesterlay--a man tor every go square miles--.lno that he could not afford for then to devote thsi- entire time to removing waste from sewer openings

YOUNG WOMEN RESPOND
 TO THEIR COUNTRY s GALL
Stock Arugment of Anti Suffragss Exploded When Young
 Women Offer for Active Service the Navy of Uncle Sam
ny CHARLES H HANDY

That American women are as patriotic as the women of England, France and Germany and just as willing to face the dangers and hardships of the battlefield was evidenced yesterday when five young American women made application to Postmaster R. B. Smyer to join the United States navy under the new order of Secretary Daniels by which women may enlist in this branch of the service The postmaster has not as yet received the blank applications in reference to the qualifications of the women sailors" but has the names on file and will for ward their applications as soon as the forms are received.
 Every one of the female applicants stated they were ready to give their serv- tees to their country in such capacity as the navy board may suggest and all stated there was not to them "a task too great or duty impossible" when the honor and welfare of their country was at stake.
 Thus is rudely scattered one of the pet stock arguments of the anti-woman's suf- fragists who have always suggested that it fell to man to face the bayonet

It may be sometime before the women are put ill the trenches, but the history of the European war shows that they have been willing to accept any duty no mat ter how hazardous or arduous it may De when their country's liberty was at stake

a green edge.
But one day along the last of No.
vember, Mary's grandfather, who
lived In New York state, sent Mary q
great box Of beautiful red apples
from his own orchard. After that
Mary would not eat the greetings
her mother bought at the store--I
don't blame her. do you? She al
ways took one Of her own fine red
apples.
The first morning after the box
came Mary gave Dicky piece of her
apple, Just as she always did; but
Dicky didn't do as HE always did!
No, sir! He fluttered and screamed
and was so frightened that Mary had
to take out the piece with the red
edge and give him bit OF the green
one he was used to. Wasn't It queer
for him to notice the color?
