FEARFUL ANIMAL IS ONLY AN ELK

aE6h tgomery, August 19.-(Special)-- EHilIam Fielder, negro farmer on Catoma |<44sk, complained to the state game and |fNH department today that a strange n1<{mal which was ten feet wide and cArrie5 something that Hooked like two hooking chairs it's head was running |Nild in his section, destroying corn and |other grain. Fielder said he had been |advised that the animal was eating cows, |horses and human beings, and that every
 time a negro started out to kill it he got scared and ran.
 An investigation developed that the animal was an elk which probably
 strayed from the fields of Tuscaloosa
 county, where a drove was released by
 the game and fish department several
 years ago. Commissioner John H. Wal
 lace, Jr., said he had been advised that
 the small herd in Sumter county which
 was placed the farm of E. F.. Ellison

RETAIL MERCHANTS
 CONDEMN PARASITE
Committees Named to Take Up Solution for Parasite
 Merchants

Definite steps were taken towards dealing with parasite" merchants by the Jefferson county division of tha Retail Merchants Association of Ala bama, Inc, at the luncheon of the board of control of that organization at the Southern Club yesterday afternoon.
 Joseph H. Loveman who was elected a member of the board. moved that the secretaries of the Chamber of Com merce and of the Birmingham civic organizations be invited to name com mittees to meet with q similar com mittee of the Jefferson county division 10 devise means of arriving at. a solu- tion of the parasite.
 It was pointed out by MT. Loveman that the parasite did not contribute in any manner towards the community interests of the city; did not belong to the Chamber of Commerce nor to any other civic organization in the city, nor did he give of his time or substance towards the promotion of civic enter prises, yet he makes his profit in the city from the patronage he receives from it's people.
 Chairman Ira F. Randall pointed out that there were twenty mercantile establishments in Birmingham which might be classed as parasites. MT Randall expects to name a committee within the next two days, and this committee will meet with similar com mittees from the two major civic or- ganizations when such committees are selected.
 Members of the board of directors of the state association met with the board of control of the Jefferson coun. ty division at it's luncheon yesterday Matters of especial interest to the mer. cantile interests were discussed al length.

CONSTANCE TALMADGE
 STAR AT RIALTO

Constance Talmadge is in a typical role at the Ralton, where she is star ring in "The Temperamental Wife. This is what might be termed a strictly hu- man little story, the kind that takes the versatility which is such a characteris- tic of the young star. Constance is the kind that can appear we'll in many diff ferent roles. or in the srme role under a number of differing circumstances. Many actresses are good at some one type of acting: Constance is good at all.
 In 'The Temperamental Wife, Con stance is aNgirl who has way with the opposite sex-and uses it. Even the law proves soft-hearted in her hands. Here she fascinates and wins throughout as a simple girl who is attractive in her sim plicity.
