Improving Ones Mind.

Edward Everett Hale used to urge
his young friends to talk every day
with some one wiser than themselves.
He did not necessarily mean some emf
nent person: most of us do not know
eminent persons, and would shrink
from using their valuable time il We
did, but are we always quick to dis
Germ the finer qualities in those whom
We do see daily? The gardener, at
whose touch the garden blooms; the
scrub woman who, after her weary
day, sits up all night with her sick
neighbor-these persons are perhaps
wiser or better than we, and so can
teach US something.

Explaining "Memory."

When you speak Of others as hav'
ing a good memory. you do not mean
that at ALL Instead Of meaning that
the man with a good memory has
accurately perceived an event in the
full ramifcations Of all its details,
and recorded it in his whole human
texture ready for reproduction at will,
what you really indicate is that ne
has good power OF retention, irrespec-
tive Of detailed accuracy or faithful
ness of the full recollection.-Dr.
Leonard keene HirshDerg.

NEW MUNICIPAL
 COURT SUGGESTED Movement Started to In. crease Jurisdiction of
 Municipal Court

The board of directors of the Civic as socfation adopted resolutions asking the legislature to increase the Jurisdiction of the present municipal courts of this city from limitation of s1o0 in civic cases to that of $500, at the regular weekly meeting held yesterday in the private din- ing noom of that association.
 It was stated that owing to the fact that the city had grown greatly in popu- lation the present limitation of the courts are inadequate to handle the busi- ness interests of the city to the great est benefit and mutual advantage of it's citizens.
 The resolutions adopted follows:
 Be it resolved, That whereas Jefferson county and the city of Birmingham have grown greatly in population; and whereas for the protection of it's business interests and for the benefit and mutual advan- tage of its citizens, court of competent jurisdiction, with the rights and powers or so formulating procedure as to render speedy action and service to litigants of this county is necessary; and,
 whereas, This necessity arises because of the limited Jurisdiction now given to the inferior courts in civil cases wherein the sum involved does not exceed $100. thereby necessitating the case where the sum exceeds said amount to be brought in the circuit court, or courts of like jurisdiction, with it's necessary attend ing delays and statutory requirements surrounding them which makes it inn possible to obtain speedy action and inn mediate remedies and results; and,
 Whereas, The limited jurisdiction here tofore imposed upon inferior courts, xyh nn,- and al ot t1o nriyi yi,,aI enactment of such limitations, it must be admitted, does not apply to the pres ent conditions and circumstances per tairing to the intent of such limitations, because common Knowledge would evi, dence the fact that the original jurisdic- ton of s100 when the enactment was made, is not commensurate with the pres ent value of $100: and,
 Whereas, Business transactions have so multiplied in number and are done upon such basis as require the neces- sity of speedy and timely action; and,
 Whereas, The inferior courts of Bir- mingham, known as the municipal courts of Birmingham, have fortunately had the advantage of being presided over by men competent to mete out just yer diets in accordance with the law and evil dence brought before them and have the machinery and are equipped to handle matters of larger Jurisdiction; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we. the board of di- rectors of the Birmingham Civic asso- citation, in meeting duly assembled. peti- tion the legislature of Alabama to enact such measures or laws as will give the city of Birmingham and Jefferson county court, whether through the present mu- nicipal court system or through new court to be created, increasing justsdic- tion commensurate of the limitation of said jurisdiction and it's present value; and for this purpose we would suggest a limitation of $500, and would strongly urge the passage of such an act for the benefit of all citizens of this city and E county"

Rag Doll Makes Popular Hit Over Country and Large Family Has
 Been Added

Miss Sarah Veal of Rome, Ga, the
 originator of the Georgia Kuddles' trag dolls) is one of the most inter-

 tertained in some time. Although only
 very young girl, Miss Veal has been
 most successful in the manufacture of
 the rag doll, Sarah Jane," which she
 has named for herself.
 When asked how she came to dc
 this work she modestly said: q first
 made a negro mammy doll for bazaar
 and the pattern remained in the bot tom of chest for six months. Just
 about that time Sarah Jane, the doll sold at the bazaar, in some way reached
 New York and very lovely lady in that city who, owns an art shop in-
 vited me to accept position with h/
 to work. My reply was that was al
 most too poor to come and had noth- ing to pack in the way of belongings
 but my old rag doll, Sarah Jane. She then told me to bring the doll and come
 ahead. which I did"
 The first doll this talented young
 woman made was a negro nanny
 which is most unique In that it is a
 miniature of the negro nanny of the
 old south. She wears a white apron
 red bandanna handkerchief on her | bring joy into the eyes and voice of any little girl who could once behold this wonderful characteristic "Sarat Jane"
 After this doll became so popular all over the country Miss Veal was asked to design other rag dolls, which she did. naming them the Georgia Kud- dles" This has gotten to be a very large family now, even the dog and cat having been added to the house hold.
 | The outbreak of the war, of course turned all attention to things military and very soon new Kuddles appeared wearing the uniforms of sailors, sol diers aSd Red Cross nurses.
