FIGHT MAY CAUSE
 WILSON TO HITRRY HOME

Washington, June 1S,-(SpeciaL)-It is reported in Washington that the active fight of republicans against the League of Nations will cause the President to return to the states sooner than he ex- pected.
 It is regarded generally that the repub- licans are determined to continue their op- position. It Is also regarded as true that they have good chance of winning. They have small majority in the Sem ate and will probably gain more demo- crats than they will lose republicans At any rate, many think that the Pres ident should and will return to get ac- lively in the fight. It is understood the President, if he sees the Senate obdurate, will appeal directly to the people.

For Sensible Business Men

0u OlIISCS IVA = stI Nearly every business man in Birmingham is a more or less sensible man.
 Because he is sensible, he takes out fire insurance on his property.
 That is a precautionary step that practically every sane man today admits is a business necessity.
 Strange to say these same men who invest considerable 
 amounts each year in fire protection, seldom pay much attention to the DETAILS of the policy they buy.
 They believe any policy is sued by a good, strong com pany is a good policy. And it is = PROVIDED THE AGENT WHO WROTE IT KNOWS HIS BUSINESS.
 There are a large number of fire insurance men in Bir- mingham who know their business. There are some, doubtless, who don't.
 James H. Awtrey is one of the kind you like to deal with, because when Awtrey delivers you a policy you know all its clauses are writ ten to fit YOUR business and afford YOU exactly the kind of protection YOUR business needs.
 That is the reason James H. Awtrey, representing such strong companies as the Hartford, has built up one of the most popular fire in- surance agencies in the city.
 That is the reason we ar ranged with MT. Awtrey fol a consolidation of his agency with the Trustees System.
 That is the reason we are sincere in our belief that oul fire insurance service is the most s "a tisfactory, iron YOU R standpoint, thar could be found.

by the Pennsy and was a member

advised that the Keller claim will
be paid by the railroad company as

cient Order of Pink Goats.
With the membership of 800 this
worldwide fraternal body started
last night. 1t was launched at the
Colonial Country Club by the Elliott
Fisher Company forces now in con-
Vention at Penn-Harris Hotel. 1t
is an organization. backed by strong
business principles that make it

hand. When there is to be money
expended, if the treasurer has no
funds, he must find cash in some
way. The one big boss is known as
the 'he-goat." He is D. ]. Crow
ley, of Chicago. and the manner in
which he buttcd in last night and
started the funds with more than
$1,000, was taken as emphatic proof
