Attorney H. U. Sims Tells Realtors of Laws Relating
 to Real Property

feature of the real estate luncheon at the Southern club yesterday was talk by H. U. Sims. the we'll known att torney and property owner. who de- clared that Alabamas s laws relating to real property were so indefinite and loose In their nature that 1t required a decision by the supreme court in al- most every instance to settle realty cases.
 He suggested that the realtors and the lawyers go before the next legisln- ture and ask that a real property custo- dian be appointed to revise and codify real estate laws during the next four years. If your exchange and our asso- citation of lawyers can succeed In put ting this over, we will leave q lasting monument to ourselves and merit the gratitude of Alabama citizens for many years to come" he said.
 The legislative committee of the real- tors will spend the next six weeks pre- pairing programme of revision which they hope to have enacted when the solons from all over the state gather in Montgomery in January Others who spoke besides Mir. Sims were A. Nj. Throclmorton, T. II. Motion and A. C. Montgomery. In the absence of Presi- dent Butler, Vice-Ppresident H. K. Mill ner presided.

JerusaIem's Great Walls.

After 1914 Jerusalem was under the
rule of the sultans of Egypt until the
year 1517, when Selim I conquered
both Palestine and Egypt, taking the
title of caliph, and carrying off the
sacred banner Of the Moslems to Con-
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleiman the
Magnificent, once more built the great
walls about Jerusalem. These walls
of Suleiman are the present fortifica-
tons of the city. But the great walls
hf Suleiman the Magnificent are Only
the last Of a long series of walls
which, time after time, have been
built only to be destroyed. The most
tragical destruction not only of the
walls. but also of the whole city, was
that which was carried out by the Ro-
man armies of Titus, in the year. 20
of Il era, in the reign of the Emperor
VesDasian.

Clemenceau, beneath his brusque,
masterful, sarcastic and oft-cutting
| speech, and in spite of the vitriolie
character of his writings, possesses an
exceedingly kind and charitable heart.
He is not rich, and therefore cannot
afford to give away much. But he has
made a point, both when in office and
out of it, to devote a couple of hours
each day to free medical advice to the
poor, never consenting to take a fee,
writes a Paris correspondent. His spe-
cialty is skin diseases, and his con-
sultation room is always crowded with
poor patients. One day when last in
office as premier, being In a hurry, he
instructed his servant to tell the last
batch of his male patients to strip in

time of the undressing in the consult.

DRIVING CATTLE BY MOTOR
Which May Sooner or Later ReIe-
gate Broncho to Background.

A new use for q motorcar has been
found by a cattle dealer in one of the
middle western states, whose business
compels him to drive extensive herds
of meat on the hoof along the roads,
says an exchange. During the hottest
part of last summer this purveyor de-
termined to drive his animals by night
in order to spare them the inevitable
suffering that attended such operations
in the middle of the day. Getting in
his car, he started the herd ahead OF
him in the road, and by throwing the
searchlight before and honking his
horn he kept the animals moving quick
ly in the compact mass.
There are instances of the use of
the motorcar in roundup work in the
far West, so that the traditional pic

broncho may have to give way to one

Height Effects in Airplaininu.

Some effects of airplane flights at
very high attitudes are described in a;
recent English report. Height eff
fects" begin to be felt at 10000 feet
and become marked In most cases from.
1900 feet up. The principal difficult
ties are cold and lack of oxygen.
Strange to say, no airplane has yet
been devised on a plan which DELHI
erately utilizes the heat of the engine
to keep the passengers warm, although
any tractor model has this effect to
some extent. The matter of oxygen
is solved by taking a supply in a con-
tainer, which the aviator mixes with
air when he feels oppressed. 1t is
feared that flying at very high al
titudes, to be made possible in the fu-
ture by further development of mod
els, may produce a trouble analogous
to the 'bends" experienced by work.
