When the announcement was made by Secretary j. L. Dent of the Alabama State Fair association that, Lieut. Omer Loeklear had been signed for daily ap- pearances at the fair beginning October v. that was proof enou that the man agreement had gone out and obtained the highest class attractions the amusement world has to offer, for this years fair. which will no doubt eclipse any thing ever undertaken by this organi- ration before
 Lieut. Loeklear's great feat of chang iEg from one airplane to another while in mid-air has caused all the world to Told it's breath and gasp. There are even those who do not believe that such ait undertaking is possible, but this will be proved to them when the daring lieutenant comes to Birmingham for exhibitions at the beginning of Ala bama's great state show
 Locklear not only makes this change while two planes are in the skies going at a lightning rate of speed but he does other stunts that are equally as unbelievable. He walks on the top of plane with the nonchallance of a man going down Second avenue at the chicken inspection period. These stunts are done in mid but they take place low enough so that all may see with their naked eyes.
 This is only one of the dozens of at- fractions that have been arranged by the management fer Alabama's banner fair. President R. A Brown is au- thority for the statement that the fais this fall will surpass all past achieve ments of the organization. with almost double the free attractions, double the midway double the exhibits of agri- cultural, industrial and live stock pro- ducts ever seen in Birmingham before.
 Secretary Dent is also enthusiastic over the harness races that will be held this year. He states that he has already received many entries for the early closing events for purses of $1000 and that enough horsemen have already signifed their intentions of bringing their stables here this fall that will in- sure the race fans of at least three corking good races each day.
 While the date of the fairs opening is almost two months away things at the fair ground have already taken on q statue of activity and this is proof enough that the coming show Is to surpass anything ever attempted be-

With Dropper, Spoon, Match, Pin
 And Dope, Fiend Happy in Jail
By WILLIAM HAGGARn

Throbbing and shattered with torment ing and unutterable pain, a face gray and glistenmg like wet clay. desolate ana awe-fled, with sense of feeblenes, such as is wholly incommunciable by
 words, aflame with stinging remorse, anxiety and despair and oppressed with meTehanolys and impending death-that is the state in which Ray Wagner, a con frmed, self-confessed dope fend, now resting in the corridors of the city jail may be found.
 By his cunningness Ray attracts the immediate attention of all who come in contact with him. He brides himself on the fact that he is no amateur in the dope game.
 Dr. Cecil D. Gaston. who has charge of Wagner. says that his is most un- usual case. All that Ray needs. that h. may find happiness, is a safety pin. an eye-dropper. tin spoon, 8 match and couple of grains of dope He is his own physician and apparently enjoys the sensation derived from jabbing ] brass pin into his veins. In the spoon he places the dope and with the match he melts it, With the eye-dropper he in- jects the dope after he has opened a hole in his arm, or any portion of the body with pin.
 Wagner talks readily. When brought to the warden's office the other night, he was asked as to how long he had beer. addicted to the habit.

At the time of this conversation, public announcement had just been made that Archie" had been jumped in rank from second lieutenant to captain. Roosevelt con- fided with glee to his listeners that Archie" had led a raiding party out into No Mans Land at night, and that the promotion lad been won by gallantry under fire during this raid. The Colonel disclosed further that Kermit, fighting with the Anglo-In- dian forces, also had been under fire, as the leader of "a troop of Whirl- ing Dervishes," Indian cavalry
 Roosevelt's disappointment at not being allowed to go to Francs with an army division was. it may be stated on the authority of an American citi- zen who was in Berlin about that time, shared by Emperor Wilhelm of Germany.

in public affairs took him to Wash. ington in January, 1918. when he conferred with United States Sena. tor George E. Chamberlain of Ore gon, and other members of congress who were critical of the administra. tion's methods of prosecuting the war. Roosevelt on this occasion an nounced his support of the proposal that war cabinet be organized to take over the conduct of the war.
 Denied the privilege of fighting for his flag, Theodore Roosevelt's inter. est was centered on his family's par. ticipation in the war. His four sons and his son-in-law Dr. Derby, car. ried out prediction made by the former President before the United States took up arms--that if war came they would enter service. Theodore. Jr.. became a major and Archibald captain, both in France i; Quentin entered a French aviation squadron and was later killed in an air battle. and Dr. Derby the medical service, also in France. Kermit, fail. ing to pass a physical examination which would admit him to the United States army, received a commission in the British army and was soon in Mesopotamia.
 Roosevelt took keen pride in the service button he wore with its five stars. Talking with newspaper men some months after his boys had pone

 Returning to New York he became the republican candidate for mayor, in 1886. He was defeated. President Harrison in 1889 appointed him a member of the United States civil service commission. and President Cleveland continued him in this of. fee, which he resigned in 1895 to be. come New York City's police com. missioner.
 "A thing that attracted me to this office," Roosevelt said at the time he accepted this appointment, was that 1t was to be done in the hurly-burly, for I don't like cloister nfe." Hon. esty was the watchword of this ad- ministration, and the two years of his occupancy became memorable thru the reforms he inaugurated, at- tracting the nations attention while holding position which was obscure in comparison with the events to come. Illicit liquor traffic, gambling, vice in general-of these evils he purged the city in the face of COT. rupt political opposition, and the reputation he established as a re. former won him the personal selec. tion by President Mckinley as as- sistant secretary of the navy, in 1897.

CREPE De CHINE FROM JAPAN
Italy and France Also Produce the
Favored Fabric-No Facto-
rIes in China.

Crepe de chine, in spite Of its name,
does not come from China but from
Japan, Italy and France. There are
no factories for making silk piece
goods in China, all the weaving being
done by hand. with the exception Of
pongees the products of the Chinese
looms are not popular abroad, except
in oriental countries, being too heavy,
although the patterns are wonderfully
beautiful and the colors exceedingly
rich.
The pongees are woven in the homes
of the peasants, and as they come
from many looms no two pieces are
ever exactly alike in weight, fineness,
color and texture. The standings
come from the Liutang district, and
the nanshaf from the Nighai district.
These pongees are made from the
wild silk Of Manchuria, where the silk
worms are not cultivated and fed on
mulberry leaves as in the rest of
China but feed at will on oak leaves.
In the spring the eggs hatch on the.
branches Of the oak trees and the Co
cOons are gathered about September.
On attaining their full growth silk
worms seek something to which to at
tach themselves in order to wind them
selves up in their silk envelopes. Hav-
ing found it the worm spins thread
from five hundred to a thousand yards
long, wrapping 1t around its body as
It spins. This takes from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
If left alone the worms skin hard
ems, it's internal organs disintegrate
to a thin jelly, and then begin reor-
ganizing themselves into those Of a
butterfly Within week or ten days
it would be butterfly, and as such
would eat its way out through its en-
velope of silk.

THE ETERNAL SKIRT QUESTION
HobbIe Affairs Are Declined by Many,
Yet Majority Follow Fash
Ions DEGREES.

The question Of skirt width is a
problem that looms large on the hort
zOn Of the fashion world just now.
Straight line effects have held sway
for many seasons, and this season
garments rather reached the limit Of
straightness by reason Of the decree
that popularized the very narrow
skirt. Coming as it did Immediately
on the basis of period of unheard-of
activity among women, due to the de-
mand for their service in all sorts Of
war work, the vogue for ultra narrow
skirts attracted more attention than
it ordinarily would, and many women
have firmly declined to accept the
hobble affairs. However, the majority
of women follow fashions DEGREES
whether they really like them or not,
and skirts not more than a yard in
width are everyday sights on the
streets of most cities.
A foreword from Paris announces
that very full skirts are looming up
there, and there is a very strong indi-
cation that when fall styles put in
their appearance the little, tight-skirt.
ed affairs Of the present season will
serve merely as foundations If any re.
modelling is to be done.
