ISLAPN|CKA SLATED . ID OPPOSE ELLIS
Barons Are Doped to Win With Veteran Hurler on
 the Mound

Cy sIapnicka is dated to oppose Bill Ellis in the second battle of the Mobile Birmingham series at Rickwood this afternoon and Slap is due to get away with the decision. Twice has this vet crap Baron hurIer mounted the hill for the locals this season, and on each oc- casion he has been touched up rather lively by the opposing batsmen-
 Slap is just now rounding into form, however, and should win more than two- thirds of his games. Moley is, of course, bit disappointed at the showing of his young hurlers thus far, but their wilduess was not unexpected and the Baron chieftan believes that after a few games experience they will recover from stage fright and learn to cut the corners in regular style.
 Ballmer made a great impression for six innings yesterday and then for some reason or other the Bears jumped on his offerings and slammed them all over the lot and the fence. There was one redeerning feature about Ballmer's work and that was he didn't walk but one man and only hit one. Unfortu- nately both of these misplays led to Mobile scores.
 Outside of the pitchers the team is going good now and showing an abil- ity to hit that is pleasing to fans, de- spite the regularity of defeats Bern sen led the clubbers yesterday, smash ing out a double and a triple, while Hairgton, who has just broken in the game, has been clouting like a veteran
 Billy Webb has yet to hit his real stride, but nobody is worrying abou' William, for he's slugger of much re- pown. Big Pete is playing great game behind the platter this season, and if he keeps up the good work will doubtless go higher at the end of this season.

"'What about Buckenbergcrr I ex- claimed.
 I'm going to let him so and I want you to take his place. was the reply.
 "Buckenberger not only was my man ager-but he was my friend as well. And I knew that he wasn't responsible for the slump of the Pirates. So I said to Kerr:
 Give Buckenberger longer trial He is one of the best baseball men in tho business The fact that the Pirates have failed is not his fault
 ''Then I went on to explain why 1t wasn't Buckenberger's fault. When I had finished the club owner. with a shol Of reluctance, announced that he would give Buckenberger a little longer trial
 "But unfortunately for Al Bucken- berger, luck continued against him and about month later Kerr came to me again and said:
 "'Mack, we are going to dispense with the services of Buckenberger. We would like to have you take the job. If you won't do it we arc going to get someone else.

 My last year with the Pirates was in is96-as catcher and as manager. In that season we played 129 games, winning 66 ard losing 63 for final percentage of .51@. It landed us in sixth place-a result not at all a happy one from the viewpoint of the club owners. Yet, on the whole, it wasn't such bad showing when one considers the fact that our team had only few real stars and was riddlcd at various times during the season by ill., ness and injuries.

For the Good of
 The Community

THE Farmers Protective League 4 or Alabama, of which Joseph o. Thompson of Birmingham is pres ident, has opened warfare foreign vegetable oils that are imported and sold in competition with cotton seed and peanut oils.
 Secretary W. R. Green of the league says that the big oil interests are planning to import cheap Asiatic oils in ever-increasing quantities and to eventually drive the cotton seed and peanut products out of the market or force prices down to a point where these two southern ar ticles can be made only at a financial loss to the farmer.
 MT. Green says: 'This foreign oil is received in second hand kerosene cans, the cans having probably been used for months in some oriental home for various purposes. It does not require much stretch of the im- agination to believe them germ-rid- den with all the filthy diseases known to that unsanitary section of the world
 Tt is very probable that the nuts and beans from which this oil was derived were stored in unsanitary homes; that mills in which they were crushed were in all likelihood oper- ated by coolies who padded around in the oil. This is the material that is being sold by some manufacturers as substitute for lard and other oils and fats. The popularity of lard, shortening and cooking com pounds made from our cotton seed and peanut oils, in clean and sanitary factories, makes it easy for the un- scrupulous manufacturer to put off this inferior and insanitary pro- duct"
 Mir. Green goes on to say that the substitution of these cheap, dirty, coolie-made oils and fats, for the clean and wholesome cotton seed and peanut oils has cost the farmers of the south millions of dollars, and if permitted to continue, will event. ually ruin them.
 JIM. Moore, supervisor of the di- vision of pure foods and drugs of Alabama, suggests a compulsory branding of all lards, oils and fats of fered for sale in Alabama so that the purchaser may know when he is get ting the pure American product.
 These suggestions are worthy of consideration, as the continued

Commander Urges Increase in Pay For Army Officers-Says Many Are Living From Hand to
 Mouth Existence.

Washington. Recreation of the National Guard as maintained by the states and substitution of reserve urits organized by the federal gov erEment was recommended by Gen. cTal Pershing before the joint corn- rlittees on military affairs of the Senate and House.
 Elaborating on his suggestion for the organization of reserve units, General Pershing, in response 70 questions, made it plain that under his scheme the present National Guard would be done away with al though the personnel and names of the regiments could remain the same and local traditions maintained.
 Senator Wadsworth of New York. chairman of the Senate committee, pressed General Pershing for a defi- nito statement of his views on the subject of the National Guard.
 "The question seems to be wheth- CT we shall maintain a reserve mi litia under the clause of the consti- tltion authorizing the raising of ar mics or under the militia clause,'' said Senator Wadswroth. Which do you favor?"
 ''I should prefer to see it done un. Ger the army clause" responded Gen eral Pershing
 Many states have organizations with old records Of which they are very proud, continued Senator Wadsworth Do you believe that local pride can be nurtured in the same way by taking the same regi- ments that have been maintained un- der the militia clause and putting them bodily under tie army clause?
 'I can see no reason for opposi ton," replied General Pershing. "l think the federal government woull be very glad to accept the use of all facilities now made available for the guard by the states.
 General Pershing again emphasiz eG question of an increase in pay foi army officers and enlisted men: II talking this over with officers learn that many of :hem are living hand to mouth existence" said Gen eral Pershing.

PROHI MEASURE IS
 PASSED OVER VETO
U. s. SENATE FOLLOWS HOUSE IN RUSHING THROUGH BILL FOR
 LAW ENFORCEMENT

Washington. - The Senate passed tie prohibition enforcement act over the presidents veto and made imme- diately effective machinery for pre- venting sale of beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol
 The vote was 65 to 20, or eight than the necessary two-thirds ma jority. While there was a wrangle on taking up the measul e in place ct the peace treaty, which had the right Of way, there never was doubt as to how the Senate stood. It was overwhelm- ingly dry like the House, which re- passed the bill within three hours af ter the president had vetoed it.
 Before Congress finally clinched en- actment of the enforcement law, de. spite presidential objection to linking wartime and constitutional prehibi- ton acts, there came from the White House the announcement that the wartime law, which was put into cf- feet after The cessation of hostilitieS would be annulled the moment the Senate formally ratified the German Ieaee treaty. It was the most definite Gf all official or semi-official state ments bearing on the wartime act. Prohibition leaders were plainly dis turbed by the news. for they had counted upon the country reaching the effective date of constitutional pro- hibition, January 16 1920, without re- opening of saloons.
 Despite the clamor set up by wet and dry forces over the White House announcement, Senate leaders said they would proceed with consideration of the treaty as heretofore.

 AGAINST CAL0MEL
MT. Dodson, the "Liver Tone" Man, Responsible for Change for
 the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dod- sons Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it." Dodson's Liver Tone is per sonally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much, but if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver slug gishness and constipation, just ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm less to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feel ing fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience. Take dose of calomel today and to- morrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day.-Adv.

STATE ELIMINATES
 MORE AMENDMENTS
ALL OF 46 NOTIFICATIONS OF TREATY SPONSORED BY COM
 MiTTEE ARE KILLED.

Washington. The 46 amend ments attached to Che peace treaty by the foreign relations committee pass ca into history when the last surVi- yer of the group, a proposal by Sena, tor Moses, Republican, New Hamp- shire, to revise voting strength in the League of Nations. was consign- cd to the discard in the Senate by vote of 47 to 36.
 As if gaining impetus by this ac- eomplishment, the Senate then upset TWO more proposed textual changes in the treaty brought in by individual senators. One of them, presented by Senator Sherman, Republican, Hi nois. and proposing to write into the treaty preamble a reference to the eiety, was laid on the table by a vote of 57 to 27. The other, sponsored by Senator Johnson, Republican, Califor- ria, as new solution for voting in equality in the league was killed out right by a count of 43 to 35.
 At adjournment, however, the eff fort to hasten final action had brought up against an obstacle which seemed likely to prevent further progress for several days. A deter mined group of senators will launch a fight to eliminate the labor section oi the treaty.
 Nine Republicans joined the Demo crats in overthrowing the Moses amendment which provided that none of the British douinions should vote in any league controversy directly af- fecting any one of them Three Dem ccrats voted with the Republicans supporting it. On the new Johnson amendment, proposed as a substitute for the one rejected recently, the line uI was exactly the same as on the Cailofrnia senator's original proposal the only changes in the actual record vote being due to absences and pai,s I he Sherman amendment got only scattered support, most of the ItepuG lican leaders helping the Democrats Iut it out of the way.

Worlds Largest Building Is a Tomb.

Now that the war is over, folks pre- dict that there will be big boom in building. Modern architects have done wonders, as everyone who has seen the Woolworth building in New York or the Eiffel tower in Paris will admit. but human labor has not yet accom- plished anything which will rival the ancient pyramids of Egypt.
 The priests of Memphis informed Herodotus that the Great Pyramid was built about 900 years before Christ. Cheops, king of Egypt, had 100000 men employed 20 years in the building of it, and laborers in those days didn't work union hours, either. The tomb of Cheops was built in room beneath the bottom of the pyramid.
