Beginning Friday morning at 10 O clock and continuing through Saturday, "Twi- light Sleep" the wonderful scientific pie ture, will be presented at the Alcazar, under the auspices of the Modern Moth erhood league.

 Mrs. Mary Summer Boyd. one of the pioneer Twilight Sleep mothers. before the University club, New York city, said; q awoke from a 10-hour sleep thinking there must be something wrong, for felt no pain The nurse smiled and brought my baby to me. l was oblivious to what had taken place in those hours.

As "bull shooter J. Mercer Barnett, so designating himself, is Birminghams best exponent. Within the week that he has been making a study of this par ticular animal and his possibilities as q money-getter at the Red Cross auction sale on July 2 he has acquired knowt- edge of bull culture that puts to shame Col. F. 1. Derby in his palmiest days.
 MT. Barnett took the allied armies into his confidence at the luncheon at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday and in his most persuasive manner convinced them that the Red Cross would be anywhere from quarter to half million dollars better off financially as a result of the sale, and that Alabama would profit even more than that by reason of the great impetus thereby given to high grade cattle raising in the state.

 J. T. Newman of New Orleans, chair man of the Gulf division of the Red Cross campaign. he said, had wired that he is keenly interested in the bull sale, that he is organizing club to bid, that several other clubs would be organized in Louisiana, and concluded his message with an offer to donate a Holstein bull that had cost him s1oo0

SCOUTS USE A TREK CART.

Some people insist that a camping
hike isn't the real thing unless the
biker carries his own equipment on his
back. OF course, for the real wilder.
ness outings, where there are neither
roads nor trails, that sort of thing
Is necessary, but 90 out of every
100 scouts take their outings through
country where It will be easy To pull
a trek cart. And the exercise Of the
trip will be strenuous enough without
adding the burden of pack sack.
AS for getting trek cart, there isn't
a troop that couldn't rig one up In
short order and Mt little expense. A
pair of stout wheels can be obtained
from almost any blacksmith or cooper
shop, and 1t is simple matter to fit
or IA strong wooden box. Add tongue
with handles or ropes to pull 1t by and
canvas cover to keep out rain, and
the rig Is ready for service.
Carrying space in trek cart Is linn
tied and one will have to cut out non
essentials. Campers will need tent
and blankets, cooking outfit, first.
aid kit, hand AK, plenty of extra rope,
a lantern, box of "chuck," tent pegs,
spade for ditching and digging la.
trines, and of course, each scouts per.
sonal outfit. This should consist OF
toilet articles, materials for mending,
and a complete change of clothing.

DRAFT LAW AFFECTS SCOUTS

The change in the draft law so az
to include all men between the ages OF
eighteen and forty-five will affect
many troops Of scouts. II behOoves
all, in accordance with the motto, "Be
Prepared" to take steps to insure the
continuance Of every troop Of scouts.
This can be done if scout officials
will Immediately give definite atten'
ton to discovering men of character
to serve as scoutmasters and assistant
scoutmasters In the place of those
who will be called to the colors by the
new draft law.
Those who are not clearly within
the requirements Of the law are urged
to bear In mind that they have a re-
as scout officials to help
maintain as strong leadership as pos
sible for the Boy Scouts Of America
at this critical period in the worlds
history.
Every man who can continue his ac'
tivity should be willing not only to do
