CORRUGATED HULL SPEEDY
(Popular Science Monthlyl

The fact that corrugations in a ships hull lessens its resistance to the water was discovered by mere acci- dent. Experiments later proved that the resistance of the ship to the water was decreased in proportion as the wetted area was increased. The con- clusion naturally followed that a ship with corrugated hull would possess a greater speed than one with a plain hull. It is not possible, however, to conclude that the increase in wetted area Is the cause of the greater speed

The automobile industry is about % years old The Chevrolet Review published by the Chevrolet Motor com pany, has compiled some interesting data and classified 1t under the head, "A Page from Yesterday" Here is is;
 Automobile history has been made so fast, and the advancement has been so rapid, that the trials of the begin ners and the reception of the motor car by the people, in the early stages of the industry, are interesting things to dwell upon.
 It is only a few years ago that the federal commissioners of Washington refused the application of a local firm who wished to run a motor delivery wagon on the streets of the capital on the ground that it would frighten horses and thus endanger life and property"
 The circus man, the wizard, the journalist, the warrior, the statesman, the capitalist-all lent the luster of their fame to the colorful background of early automobile history.
 The first New York show was held in 1900.

RUSSIAN SYMPHONY
AT THE JEFFERSON
Tone Feast for Music Low
ers is Offered in Splendid
Programme Arranged

All musical Birmingham is delighted
with the programme of the Russian
Symphony orchestra, which will be rem
dered at the Jefferson theatre tonight.
1t was published in full in The Age
Herald and it would not be easy to
imagine how Mr.. Altschuler could have
made more beautiful selections. The
Tschaikowsky symphony is universally
popular OF the two that are much
played this that Mr.. Altschuler presents
is the more greatly loved While it is
full of pathos, with a note of lament
in the quieter movements, the work as a
whole has enough of joy in it to relieve
the shadows and sombre moods.
The piano concerto by Tschaikowsky
will be one of the most attractive num-
bers on the programme. 1t has been
heard in Birmingham, but not recently.
1t is so melodic and so gorgeous in its
harmonic treatment that no one could
tire of it, no matter how often 1t were
played. Madame Erlna Currinsky played
it with the Russian Symphony orches-
ira in New York early in the season ana
won tumultuous applause.

AS the Lion is Monarch OF
the Forest, so S. S. S. is King OF
Blood Purifiers and Master
over all Blood diseases.
Pure, rich blood and a free
circulation is the surest proven
ton against the diseases and
disorders which are constant
ly attacking our physical sys-
TENS. Healthy blood stimulates
the excretory members and
enables them to filter out OF the
system everything that is not
necessary or beneficial to the
growth and development OF the
body. Thus we are apt to re-
main healthy unless there is a
weakening of the vital fluid or
an impure infection of the cir
culation.
Imperfect blood takes. va
rious forms in it's outward man.
Hesitation. A weak, watery
circulation denotes anaemia
with its attendant evils OF
pale, waxy compilations, ma
larial conditions, or perhaps
some more definitely marked
disorder is shown. Frequently
the blood becomes infected
with acrid humors, and Ec-
zema, letter, Acne or some
other skin affection makes it's
appearance, while an excess of
uric acid in the circulation pro-
duces Rheumatism with its
pains and aches. Old Sores
and Ulcers are likewise de-
pendent on bad blood, these
places being kept open and in
a state of irritation by the
drainage of pollution which

disordered blood constantly
discharges into them.
Another common indication
of weak, impure blood is the
loss of appetite, tired, worn out
feeling and a general rum
down condition Of the system.
This is an ailment very prevail
ent in the spring and most per-
sons so afflicted realize the
necessity Of overcoming the
trouble by the use of a tonic.
We recommend to all in need
of a blood purifier or tonic, the
use of S. S. S., a medicine which
has proven itself the greatest
of all blood purifiers. 1t goes
down into the circulation and
removes all impurities, humors
and poisons and makes the
blood pure and health-sustain-
ing. It purifies and strength
ems weak deteriorated blood,
supplies it with the healthful
properties it needs and lays the
foundation for good health.
AS a tonic S. S. S. has no equal
and those who are beginning
to feel the need of such a med
icine to fortify themselves
against the unpleasant condi-
tons which come with spring
and early summer, should COM
mence its use at once. S. S. S.,
the King of Blood Purifiers, is
a genuine blood cleanser, made
entirely from roots, herbs and
banks; it does not contain a
particle of mineral in any
form. You could not do better
than begin the use of S. S. S. if
from. any cause your blood is
weak or impure, and you will
find it the most satisfactory
tonic you ever used. Write for
book on the blood and any
medical advice. No charge for
either. Address 408 Swift

Yesterday witnessed the United States
war pictures at the jefferson theatre.
They are truly wonderful and instruc-
tive and should have been seen by every
man. woman, boy and girl in Birming-

L heartily indorse everything said by
Sapper Boucher. Like him, I am over ~
years young, and it makes my blood boil
to hear of the brutalities practiced by
the Germans.
In this connection Dolly Dylrymple
gave an incident as related to her by
Sapper Boucher, in which German
general, who had been wounded and
afterward nursed to recovery by Red
cross nurse, broke both of the nurses
wrists in shaking hands with her when
she called to bid him good-by.
What / would like to know is, what
became of this brute in human form and
whether he was ever punished. Certainly
no punishment could be severe enough
for such brutality. Yours very truly.
