ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The bill at the Lyric for the first half of the week is an all-round jam up bill. both for the kiddies and the grownups. Of especial interest to movie fans is the personal appearance of Jean Sothern, a motion picture star with a decided personality This lit tie woman was received with liberal applause, and her appearance will be a drawing card throughout the first half of the week.
 "FoIIies De Vogue" Is a musical com edy that will please most any audience It is full of pep spicy lines and the musical numbers are well selected for popular approval. Among the feature songs are, "F,verybody Loves to Dance," My Belgium Rose" Its AL ways Chance with the Girls" s"Sweet. Little Buttercup.' Southern Gals" "O1d Fashioned Wife" and Pueblo Jim" Every one of the songs was d hit and liberal applause followed each number.
 The Musical Johnstoas displayed wonderful ability as xylophon;sts, and their work was most meritorious. Err gotti's Lilliputians Is stellar attrac- tion for the children, and will amusc them immensely. Due to the fact that their baggage did not arrive yester- day in this this act was unable to go on for the matinee.
 One of the best acts seen at the Lyric for some weeks was that pre- sented by Stephens and Bordeau. en- titled, "A Boy from Home.'' which gradually developed from a humorous scene into a screlmingly funny com- edy skit that put the audience in an uproar. The play1et is built around green country chap who is visiting the city. and he meets the young woln- an who formerly was the town mil1i- ner-and what takes place is riot of fun.
 The Lyric Screen Telegrams were ex- ceptionally good A splendid house greeted the opening of the bill, and the show evidently met with the unani- nous approval of the auditors, judg- ing from the applause received by each team.

MOBILE FIGHTER IS WINNING LAURELS
 ON FRENCH FIELDS
Jack Moyet, Hero of Some of the Most Extraordinary Adventures Yet
 Recorded

Paul Ayers Rockwell last week cabled the following from Paris 10 the Chicago Daily News regarding the work of an Alabama man:
 i. Paris, France, June 25-Legionnaire Jack Moyet of Mobile, Ala, is rapidly :. recovering from wound received while fighting in the outskirts of Soissons on {. May S1. German explosive bullet blew away a part of the muscles of the right ann. Young Moyet is the hero of some ,+ef the most extraordinary adventures that ever occurred to warning Amer ican.
 Late in April, during a lull in the bat tie of Hangard wood, the Alabamian went patrolling with a sergeant and two other legionnaires looking for wounded com rades, who had fallen in the wood be- tween the lines. Emerging from dense thicket, Moyet suddenly found himself face to face with a German lieutenant leg ding a strong patrol The Teuton of- ficer at once opened fire.
 T was very near the Boche and thought my time had come, but he was too ner- vous and missed me-" he said. T fired my rifle pointblank at my asasilant, at the same time running a bayonet through his body. He fell dead. Meanwhile my comrades arrived and opened fire on the other Boches. several of whom fell, while the others fled
 Moyet was cited in an order of the army for his conduct on this occasion. On May %. at the beginning of the battle for Paris Moyet, accompanied by corporal and another legonnaire, entered a vl lage near Soissons which it was desired

Frank E. Spain Will Enter Training Camp
 for Artillery Service
County Food Administrator Seeks More Intensive Government Sery-
 ice in Coast Artillery

Frank F. Spain, county food admins trator, has resigned that position and will leave Thursday for Fortress Monroe, Va, where he will enter the reserve of- ficers training camp for coast artillery.
 The announcement of Mir. Spain's resignation as county food administra- tor, made public yesterday, came as a distinct surprise to his many friends. During his absence the law office of MT. Spain will remai nopen, Judge Kenneth Charlton, United States commissioner, having charge of his law practice ana business affairs.
 MT Spain has been practieing law in Birmingham for the past five years and is well known and firmly established here, but felt the opportunity he has for going into active service is one he must grasp, ss it is more important than any war work he could do as civilian.
 For several months past MT. Spain has served under Richard M. Hobbie, state food administrator, who expressed regret at his resignation. but paid a high trib- ute to his accomplishments while filling the position of county food administrator. ''In performing the duties of county food administrator, MT. Spain has made pa triotic sacrifices that brings the con- viction that he will exemplify the high est ideals of the American army in his career as a soldier" declared MT. Hob- bic.
 Mr Spain's successor has not yet been announced and Paul Earle, chairman of the federal food board in Birmng ham, will take over the duties of county food administrator temporarily.
