 Havoc in Downtown
 Section of the City

One good-looking little chicken" came running into headquarters after the lights came on and exclaimed: q want you-all to help me get my hat. It blew off down the street" Which way did yer cover go, Miss@' inter rupted the desk sergeant, speaking in an assuring manner. Why she re- piled, ''it was going west the last time saw It. The policeman used the telephone a minute and turned again to the girl. "All right, Miss I gave the Ensley department a description of your hat and told them to watch out for it."
 T wonder if the ardent admirers of hobble skirts will harp over their ad- vantages in a windstorm," suggested someone, and this led to a debate as to whether or not hobble skirts were an advantage or a disadvantage last night. Owing to the fact that the crowd was composed largely of men, the latter side won.

He further stated that they are determined to see that the prohibition laws are en- forced.
 For the purpose of studying business methods in the cities he visited, with a view of adopting any improved methods in his own business, Dr. Masbergg stated that he found that neither the big de- partnlent stores or retail houses had anything on those of Birmingham" "1t is natural for a man who has been on a
 
 no place like old Birmingham" said the doctor, but I can conscientiously say that in neither service, equipment or dis play of goods, as those of our big stores here. It is good for a man to visit points of his own city
 Dr. Masberg also spent some time in Biloxi and visited F. I. Monks, a former well-known attorney, and states IF l. is in the best of health and enjoying a quiet retired life on his place near Pass Christian. He said MT.

Yes sir; you can take it from me that one will go a loong way to find a better town than Birmingham
