GILLETTE HAS JOB
 FOR MISS ROBERTSON

Washington, December 6.-(Special.)- Speaker Gillette is authority for the state ment that he will delegate to Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma. when she comes to Congress, supervision of the dining room of the House.
 There were certain republican leaders, having in mind the failure of the first woman ever elected to Congress, ito fit in," who despaired when made aware that another woman member was coming. But Gillette solved the problem. And incl dentalIy he is a delighted individual.
 It is the custom for the speaker to as sume jurisdiction over the dining room. He is expected occasionally to stir the soup, and look into the innermost re- cesses of the kitchen All speakers, in the performance of this duty, have been conspicuous failures. The restaurant on the House side of the capitol is an abon1i- nation beyond peradventure. But of all who have failed, none have more signal fly failed than Gillette. He admits it.
 Miss Robertson is finished proprietor of restaurant. She knows the busi- ness. So into the kitchen she -Nl go. It is not known whether Miss Robert son will accept the assignment or rebel But from advance information she IS too human to be deceived into believing that it will be her function to shape the legislation of the country. And so she may be pleased when Gillette puts her in charge of the kitchen.
 The members are doubly delighted. They have found a place for Miss Robertson. And they think that perhaps she will make improvement in food and service.

T just needed a general all-round building up, and Tanlac has done that very thing said Manuel Gonzales, Pal metto Beach. Tampa, Fla, recently.
 About year and half ago I had a terrible attack of influenza, which left me in very weak and rundown condi- tion. I never felt hungry enough to en- joy a meal, and I had a hacking cough which kept me awake nights so I just couldn't regain my strength.
 My nerves got me in such a condition at times that I couldn't do anything but pace the floor for hours, and any time just the least excitement would com pletely upset me-
 Well, I tried everything I could hear of in my efforts to get my health back so could enjoy life, but nothing helped me until got Tanlac. But my appetite improved from the start when got Tan lac and now I am eating just like I used to, never have that cough any more, and my nerves are as quiet and steady as clock. I sleep like a log nights. have gained several pounds in weight and am feeling better in every way than I have in years. Since Tan lac has really made life worth living for me. am always praising it.''
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope drug company, in Ensley by Ezell Drug company, in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug company and in Avondale by Robert w.. Murray.-Adv

HUMILITY MAY NOT GET CUSTOMS COURT
 PLACE AFTER ALL
Senate Not Willing to Make Majority of Court Demo- cratic-Farmers Have
 Strong Lobby
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId.


 500 Davidson Building. washington. December s.--(Special Ut appears very doubtful today that Presi- dent Wilson will appoint his secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, to the court of cus- toms appeal.
 The President is willing to make the appointment. He would give his faith fui secretary a good job for life But Tumulty, it is indicated, will not perinit the President to act. The reason is the indicated refusal of republicans to con- firm him.
 Since making the announcement some days ago that President Wilson had of fered him the position. MT. Humility has felt out" the leading republicans of the Senate. It is believed that he knew in advance that they would declare the ap- pointment would be embarrassing to them. But it is quite probable that he was surprised at the reason given. The republicans are naturally adverse to con- firming democrat appointed to judicial position for life. And they are aware that eight years ago the democrats re- fused to confirm the appointments of President Taft. But the senators inur- viewed gave neither of these reasons. They declared that if Tumulty was con- firmed, the majority of the members of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-07

dicated that this fact, but for one reason, would not cause them great dismay. But majority of democrats means a ma jority of free traders" or at any rate, anti-protectionists. And on the court of customs appeal the republicans admitted ly want majority favorable to high protective tariff.
 So, in all probability, Tumulty will not be appointed. If he does decide to run the risk and accept the appointment, he would not be confirmed, it is believed And yet the republicans are fond of Tu- multy. And it is customary to permiv a retiring President to take adequate care of his secretary

GIVES REASON FOR
 PARTNERSHIPS BREAK

Washington. December 6.-tSpecial)- Senator Kenneth D. McKellar of Tennes- see. on reaching Washington, assured other democrats that Tennessee is as es- sentially democratic as it ever was. and that very soon 1t would return to it's ancient and honorable moorings.
 The senator made statement from which the astounding deduction is obtain- able that Tennessee was thrust into the republican column because of the unpcs0r larity of Governor Roberts, who con- vened the legislature in extraordinary session. and put through asratfhcation of tho nineteenth amendment to the consti- tuition. According to Senator Mckedaf, however. the advocacy of equal suffrase by Roberts was not the straw that broke the camers back. McKellar declares that Roberts twas on both sides of the suf- fr4Ge question.
 The senator added that Roberts had bec0me unpopular as a result of fiscal Iegislafion, and that the farmers of the 'stste keeniy resented his legislative pro- gramme. On the other hand, according to

STATE COMMISSION HAS
TAKEN ARDMORE INCREASE
N GAS RA TES UN De R
sDV|SEMENT FOLLOWING
TUESD A VS. ARGUMENTS

\ cdsc was heard before the cor.
porauon commission at Oklahoma
City Tuesday that is of more than
passing interest to the citizens OF
Ardmore and one that will either
maintain present gas rates, or else
effect Il raise that will materially af-
feet their pocket books. 1t was the
case : erein the Consumers Light and
Power ompany went before the cor
poratioL commission and asked for
an increase over present rates to a
rate not to exceed so cents per 1000
feet flat rate.
The company based its contention
on the fact that it contemplates in.
vesting approximately 100000 in
sinking new wells to supply a suffi.
cient amount Of gas to Ardmore. un'
der all conditions.
City Attorney Mason appeared FOR
the mayor and city commissioners
as representatives Of the people, and
contended that the contemplated cX
penditurc was not such as might be
considered by the commission, under
the law, for fixing and establishing
rate to be charged for gas, he con
tended that the only way that the
rate company could secure the raise
in rates would be to first act in good
faith, make the expenditures and i'm
provcments and then file the petition
for an increase with the corporation
commission, who would base the rate
on the value OF the Investment and
make ii such that the company could
realize fair return for the invest
ment.
The Consumers Light and Power
Company through its attorneys, pre-
sented resolutions signed by com
mittees from the Lions Club, the Rot
airy Club. and some OF the directors
of the Chamber OF Commerce, asking
the commission to grant this increase
The city attorney contended that al
though the civic organization of the
city were composed OF representative
men, yet the mayor and city com
mlssioners together with the city at
torncy were the only ones who could
bind the city in any agreement
Attorney Mason contended that tho
records on file with the corporation
commission showing the value OF thC
property was sufficient evidence that
the prayer for an increase not b,
granted that the present rate was
sufficient to give fair return OF
the investment.
After hearing the testimony th'
commission took matters under ad
visement and will render u decision
later.
