 Nevertheless the American bankers, and industrial leaders will in all probability be persuaded that any aid we can give can be given because the potential re- sources of Great Britain and of her colonies are stupendous. These await mobilization development, exploitation and production. They are sufficient II wisely handled to enable England to re- cover her strength and justify any as- sistance which the United States may give.

FIGHT EXPECTED
 WHEN UTILITIES
 BILL COMES UP
Contains Provision Taking From Cities All Supervi- sion of Local Utilities
 Corporations

Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special.)- When the utilities bill; said to be back ed by the state public utilities and cer- tain interests, comes before the legis- lature in a few days. it will no doubt start fight that will attract state- wide interest
 The bill has not been introduced in the legislature but it is understood that it will be presented within few days.
 Among other provisions of the bill 1t is said to contain one which will take from the cities and towns of the state all supervision of local utilities corporations and place that power in the state utilities commission. It will give to the state the power to fix the rates to be charged for service such as telephone, electric power. both conner cial and Illuminating; water, gas, and all other so-called public utilities.
 Under this bill, according to some who have seen it, the Birmingham city com mission would be powerless in all mat ters pertaining to the street railway service, street, commercial and domes- tic lighting. water, gas, telephone and any other of the public utilities.
 City Commissioner John R. Hornady, who came to Montgomery Saturday to  who are visiting here, speaking of the proposed bill said
 ''The passage of the proposed utilities bill would tie the hands of the Bir- mingham city commission. We would have absolutely no power to control the service of any of the utility com panies. No matter how poor the street railway service or the lighting service or the water service might be the city commission would be unable to inter- fere in behalf of the citizens
 'The bill would place it within the power of the state commission even to pass upon the tests of the water that we have to drink taking that function away from the city health department. Birmingham and every other city in the state would be absolutely shackled. The state commission would be a1l- powerful
 we will fight the proposed bill to a finish and I do not believe that the members of the Alabama legislature will stand for such an unjust and ini- quitous piece of legislation"
 The bill it is understood, will be of fered in one of the houses of the leg islature sometime the coming week.

SILENT CLOWN" IS
LATEST AT CIRCUS

Where Is the clown Of our grand
fathers time? The merry cut-up who
fIourished in the days Of the old Dan
Rice and the Van Amberg shows?
What has become OF those funny
old chaIk-face comedians who seemed
to delight in making the ringniasters
life miserable with their crude jokes
and funny capers, and who sang songs
and made ardent love to the pretty
bareback riders whenever they APP
peared in the ring?
The old-time clown has gone for
ever. He disappeared with the one
ring circus, OF which he was an i'm
portant part, but his modern proto-
type OF the big three-ring show is no
less an important factor today than
was his ancestor, and although his
methods of funmaking are radically
different, he is every bit as Comical
There has been a revolution in
Glowing just as there has in every
other branch Of the circus business.
The oId-time clown manufactured his
fun by word OF mouth and his jokes
were generally of exceedingly ancient
vintage. In fact. the brand of humor
demanded by the average American
audience OF a generation or so ago was
OF a far simpler and lower standard
than that demanded today. and il is
doubtful if even the youngsters would
smile at the ancient wheezes that so
delighted our granddaddies.
There is little chance OF this type 81
clown ever coming back. For, in place
OF growing smaller. the modern circus
grows larger each year. Especially is
this true Of the great new Ringing
Bros and Barnum & Bailey show
combined. to exhibit bore Monday and
Tuesday. May II and Is. For it is
the worlds greatest amusement in
stitution-a vast super-cirCus formed
by the consolidation OF tie very finest
and biggest features Of Americas two
most famous tented enterprises. The
mammoth big top Of "A size never
before seen i'm the annals OF OutdOOr
amusements. moro than ever requires
action to take the place Of speech.
And, because Of the Increased size OF
the great main tent, there are moro
clowns than before. Likewise there
are moro arcniC numbers. more animal
acts a more magnificent and bigger
Tageant-more everything. The stu
righteousness oC this gigantic circvS
extends beyond tn" main tent For
the street parade is longer and more
gorgeous than IN the past. and the
m"naEerie sUrpasscs any yet toured
I'm this country.

This committee will ask the CO.

/ nors of each State of the Union. also
! the presidents OF the chambers OF

! chase a tract of land consisting of a:
