ReRuIations on CnbIexrnms.

Regulations on CabIegrnms.
 T had occasion on Tuesday to send a cable to my brother, Courtney, at Contreville, France" said John Henley in reply to one in which he stated that he had been slightly wounded, and l learned that any one using the cables had to sign his full name to the mes sage. I wanted to sign it just John, but I couldn't get by with it.
 I suppose it's to keep anyone from putting anything over. The company with the name and address of the sender can always locate the party if anything looks suspicious"
 "Flu" Hits Trainmen
 T have been with the L. & N. for 3l years" said Tom Pound the well known railroad engineer, "and I have never failed to take out an engine if could drag myself to it, if an ener- gency arose.
 T had been sick for ten days and my name was not on the board, but the call CT came for me Tuesday morning and got up for duty when I felt that it was almost at the risk of my life. Only those who are on the inside know just how hard it is to man the engines. The flu took it's toll of some of our best men" Directors Used Wisdom.
 T think the board of directors of the Baptist state convention acted very wisely in postponing the convention until the Sd of December" Said P c. Ratliff, as it would have been dam gerous for delegates and visitors from all parts of the state to come together before the influenza was clearly beyond the epidemic stage, and then it would have been an imposition on the hosts and hostesses to have had to open their homes under the circumstances"
 Movie "OperatOrs" Seek Jobs.
 T understand that quite a few of the movie operators either left town or got other jobs," said H. s. Limmer, "as the time of opening. the places of amuse- ment was so Indefinite.
 T know personally of several who got tired of hanging around and lit out. The moving picture business has big business end which is little thought of by those who drop in for an hours pleasure to see the films as they are flashed on the screen. Tie things which went into the making of them are in the background, but they were born out of hard work on the part not merely of the stars and the cast, but the directors and the mecha- nicians and laborers."
 Tho Alabama Blazer
 "The Alabama Blazer is just off the press, Volume l. Number 1.
 Why Blazer?
 The publication answers it's own in- quiry," says John Henley. Because we blaze trail to welfaxe castle on the hill of public health Its the official publication of the Alabama Anti-Tubercu- losis league, to be issued monthly with official communiques of the campaign against the great white plague in Ala bama. It VII go to every corner of the state, and soon, it is hoped, the subscrip- tion list will run into the thousands. Rev George Eaves, secretary of the as sociation, is editor of the publication ''The first issue is of four pages. print. ed on enamel and illustrated. It carries news of the state organization and in- spirational articles about the warfare on tuberculosis. Notable is an article by Miss Bertha c. Clement telling the story n t,x sick patient back to health Good wishes for the publication are expressed in let ters which are reproduced from Dr. S w. Welch. state health officer, and Spright Dowell, state superintendent of education.
