Relations Strained h
 City's Legal Department

Bailes, owned two hats. Through curious coincidence. these hats were al- most identical. Heretofore this conflict ing resemblance had been somewhat ob- Vlated by the installation of a hatrack in each room
 It seems that each of these lawyers had Sunday hat and a rainy day hat despite the poor pay of city employees and the high cost of law. There had been oc- casional little difficulties, but luckily both men and the four hats were always present and so ne grave situation arose until the rain set in a day or two ago
 Day before yesterday when the at torneys went home, they left their Sun day hats in the office and wore the cheap fifteen dollar rainy day hats. When they came to work yesterday each, as customary. stepped to his hatrack to gloat over the silky sheen and elegant lines of his special hat, when, to the utter consternation of everybody, the hats had vanished. Diplomatic relations began to hum like the proverbial taut banjo strings and each with steely eyes and forced smiles attempted to show 2 lame appreciation of what was painfully regarded as an ill-timed, ill-considered and totally unnecessary officious humor. Finally each grew tired of the "hob- nailed mirth' and crisply asked that his hat be brought forth from concealment And each with studied punctillio denied even a capacity for perpetration of such an eccentric school of pleasantly.
 But neither hat was forthcoming. and each lawyer thinks the other is trying to create a strained relation. possibly for political motives. so the atmosphere of the once-busy, efficient and kindly municipal law department is now so strained, tense and bellicoee that the office cat walks, stiff-legged, by the door, its ears back and tail bushy and per pendicular.

There was an atmosphere of sedate and painful restraint in the legal depart ment of the city of Birmingham yester- day. The usual intensive perusal of great and profound tones was conspicu- ous by it's absence, and the two men who work there barely nodded as they passed in and out to the shelves and files.
 There was a dignified courtesy so punctilious and cold that unconsciously the visitors glanced toward the door knob to see if anything black was hung there on, or if. perchance, file of soldiers might be in waiting to act as escort. When it was absolutely necessary to ask a question it was done with crisp and business like preciseness that fairly scin- tillated.

Scientist Classes You if

Mrs. Happy Homemaker says she
has learned, though the schooling has
been hard in many instances, how to
become immune to that insidious dis
ease called "accumulitis."

smile, 81 was reading an article the
other day in which learned scientis
undertook to prove that one of thu
evidences that woman's position was
on a lower rung of the ladder of pro-
gress lay in her instinctive desire to
hoard away useless as well as useful
articles.

is that medicine may undergo certain

that it is dangerous to give liquid
