New Production Is to Be Seen Here All This
 Week

The modern production about women, ''The Other Mans Wife, will be the at traction at the Trianon this week, begin hing tomorrow. Critics have been loud in praise of this production, which has been declared one of the most gripping oi the seasons attractions
 and Mrs Fred Hartley Mrs. Hartley was social butterfly. Her husband was a prosperous business man with a deep fondness for his wife and children
 J. Douglas Kerr, a polished yuhure, his wife to spend her time at home and pleasures. Kerr falls madly in love with encouragement.
 The war comes on and Hartley enlists and leaves for France.
 Kerr continues to practice his wiles before Mrs. Hartley, arguing with her that her husband will not return. To clinch the matter he has a fake telegram sent to Mrs Hartley purporting to be from France announcing Hartley's death. Mrs. Hartley is about to concede to his wishes when Hartley returns. Previous to this Kerr had started a strike at Hartley's factory in order to ruin him. His treachery is revealed.
 At the sight of her husband Mrs. Hartley realizes her past folly and goes to her husbands arms Kerr is branded as an imposter and the happiness that wealth could not buy is found through the realization of wife and mother { folly.

doubled and trebled sometimes overnight and with this great enhancement the value of the Elyton Land company s holdings also enhanced to figures beyond the fondest dreams of its founders. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad company and the Alabama Great South ern, which had built branch lines to our
 mines at Pratt City, charged what we considered to be exorbitant rates for hauling cars to and from the mines By building railroad of our own we fig
 ured that We could pick up the empty ! cars at Birmingham, take them to the
 mines, load them and return them to | Birmingham at much less than we were paying the railroads for this service. We had the route surveyed and under | took the building of the railroad. We l purchased old rails from the Louisville
 and Nashville Railroad company, con i tracting to pay for them in coal at
 s1.50 a ton. The debt was entire l ly paid within year and half
 "The rails we got from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company were 1 old and about worn out, but we cut off I the ends and repunched them and they
 answered our purpose.
 Labor was plentiful in those days, and
 we got all we needed to build the road | al 75 cents a day
 When the road had been finished and
 was ready to be put in operation the
 question of division of freight charges between Birmingham and Pratt City came up Louisville and Nashville and the ! Alabama Great Southern at first demand | ed the full amount they had been charg- | ing. We insisted that we were entitled to the Birmingham rate in xiew of the fact l that we picked up the cars here and hauled them to Pratt A long contro- versy ensued and in order to bring an end to it we caused our railroad to be made a common carrier, thereby entitling it to share rates with other common car riers.
 Following this, an agreement was made whereby all shipments to and from Pratt City took the Birmingham rate, and that
 rule has obtained ever since, the only difference being that the railroads en- tering Birmingham now deliver goods to Pratt and pick up shipments there al the Birmingham rate.
 This agreement resulted in the saving of thousands of dollars annually to the coal operators, and later the iron and other industrials locating in the district outside of Birmingham, but within the radius covered by the agreement, reaped their share of the benefits.
 "The railroad companies have trled time and again to abrogate this rule, but have never been able to do so.'' In subsequent years MT. Aldrich was connected with the Tennessee Coal, Iron

BLIND AND NAMED
 CAN WORK ON SHIPS
Many Jobs Are Available In Ship yards For Men Who Are Thus
 Handicapped
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 San Francisco, June S-That both the
 blind as well as the maimed of the great
 war are fully capable of doing certain
 necessary work in shipyards, rigging
 lofts and hangars is the opinion of F. J.
 Luebbert, head of tent manufacturing
 concern, who made the discovery while
 endeavoring to find sufficient help in
 order to fill his war contracts with the United States government.
 Short of help for preparing foot stops and guy ropes for his tents, which con- ssts in knotting and splicing. it oc-
 cured to MT. Lubbert that if the blind were capable of becoming adept at bas- ket weaving, the same principles would apply to making complicated knots and splices. His offer of work to the stu dents of several institutions for the blind
 was accepted and the result proved complete success.
 For the foot rope. or loop that holds
 to the tent peg, the Matthew Walker knot
 is used, among the most complicated
 known to mariners. By patient work, and with the aid of heavy rope over which MT. Luebbert could guide the hands of his pupils the workers were able, at the end of the week, to make the knot as well as their teacher Not only could they do as well as my . self, but they could do 1t whole lot faster. I paid them z of a cent each for every foot stop delivered and they aver aged between four and five dollars day. Out of several millions of these foot stops delivered there was not a single reJec- ton. also taught them how guy ropes were splced and whipped and they be- came equally expert in this. Under the circunaStances, l am con vtnced that these people could be ex- pertly used by the United States ship | ping board in making the rigging for the new merchant marine fleet which we are constructing. There is much work in rig ging lofts that they can do as expertiy as sound worker.
 With the tremendous growth in avia- ' ton. which I believe is bound to come, they also could be employed in the han
 gars where wire cable have to be wrapped | by rope"

When Birmingham, Land
 Went Up Like Rocket
T. H. Aldrch Tells About Some Early Trading and How They Built Railroad Line to the Mines
 to Cut Down Heavy Freight Charges
By w. J. ROLES

One of the noted institutions in the early days of Birmingham was the Ely ton Land conpa ny, later the Elyton com
 pany and through successive changes and reorganizations, now the Birmingham Realty company The Elyton Land company was the first to enter the real estate field in the pros- pective city, and few years later when coal and iron began to be developed on large scale and various industrial plants sought and obtained locations here the capital shares of this company went sky ward at a rapid rate.
 The Elyton Land company owned a large part of the land on which Birming- ham was originally built, that is, the por- tion lying between the Alice and the Sloss furnaces, Red mountain and Jonesville. Real estate values rose to fabulous prices almost over night, and the thousands of transactions kept the market active for a great many years.
 One of the early investors in the Elyton Land company shares was the Pratt Coal company, owned by the late Henry F. DeBardeleben, the late J. w. Sloss and T. H. Aldrich. They bought 169 shares at r cents the dollar.
 The Pratt Coal company was one of the first coal companies organized in Bir-
 mingham. It acquired a large tract of land in and near Pratt City, and some of the mines opened by it are still in op- eration. Transportation charges were an obstacle to the coal operators. How these three men met this problem and the subsequent history of their investment in Elyton Land company shares is told by MT. Aldrich, the only one of the three
 now surviving.
 MT. DeBerdebelan. MT. Sloss and I, who owned the Pratt Coal company, bought 169 shares of the capital stock
 of the Elyton Land company at r cents,'
 he said. Some time later I sold my in-
 terest in these to MT. DeBardeleben at 35
 and afterwards. about three years, I be-
 1ieve, MT. DeBavdeleben, who in the
 meantime had acquired Mir. Sloss' inter
 est sold the 169 shares to J. T. Wood
 ward at s33o share, or $230 above par
 value.
 Two years after MT. Woodward bought
 these shares the Elyton Land company
 paid dividends at the rate of 2000 per
 cent. I figured out at the time that if
 I had held on to my interest in the 169
 shares they would have netted me $500, 900.
 "In 1S7S-1S79 pig iron, which had been
 selling at around $10 a ton, jumped up
 to approximately s60 ton, and this had
 a direct effect the value of all real
 estate in Birmingham. Lots that had
 been selling for a nominal sum now
 brought three and four and sometimes 10 times as much as was asked for them
 only few weeks before. Land values

The pavilion used for the principal ceremonies in Veno park was specially erected in pure old Japanese style, the roof being matched with the bark of cryptomerias and the outer walls being covered with green cryptomeria leaves The walls inside were beautifully deco rated with gold dust and covered with screens and curtains having designs of flowers and birds.
 A procession reconstructing the an- cient daimyo corteges and lanterns and flag processions were included in the cele- bration which was commemorated also by the issuing of a special postage stamp

JAPANESE CHEER
 THEIR EMPEROR
All Precedents Broken on Occasion of His Recent Public Appearance

sy Associated Prsss

Tokio, May 15.-For the first time in the history of Japan the people have cheered their monarchs. Popular celebra- tIons were held in Tokj.o to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the removal of the imperial capital from Kioto to Tokio, and the thrtieth anniversary of the es- tablishment of Tokbo as municipality. For two days the people of the metrop- oils gave themselves up to enthusiastic reioicings. The city was gay with fes- toons, flags and magnificent evergreen arches.
 Emperor Yoshihito with his consort and Crown Prince Hirohito drove through the packed streets in open coaches and
 bowed in acknowledgement of the respect
 full .'banzai' of the multitudes. In the past. the Emperor of Japan has
 rarely made his appearance in the public
 streets. and has always been received
 in silent homage. The recent ovation

You Shall Sleep

By Rosa Mitchell McI4aurin.
 Now you shall sleep in Flanders fields,
 We quickly caught the torch you threw, Upheld it high, nor once did yield
 Where bursting shell and shrapnel flew And with it kept the earth aglow--
 Illuming sky from east to west; The test we stood, our part we bore
 In the cause your dying blessed. Now, calmly sleep in Flanders fields,
 Midst battles din to rise no more; To just demands the foe now yields
 And to the lifted torch we bore. Here midst the poppies now we kneel;
 Beside the crosses row on row. The victors crown to you we yield;
 Sweet be your sleep, wars are no more. An electrically heated wagon to hold several food trays has been invented to insure warm meals for hospital patients.

IS BEGUN IN ENGLAND Claim Script-Writing Is Too
 Slow and Laborious and Retards Young Pupils
By Associated lPress

London, June 17-To abolish script-writ- ing and replace it by print-writing is the purpose of an influentially supported movement begun in this country. Advo- cates of the change contend that the present system fails to stand the test of commercial life in England and causes great loss of tune and labor.
 The characters used in the proposed system are the ordinary printed letters. known as Roman blQSl letters, with the exception of the Wand "g" which are simplified into their script forms. The
