NEW MAP OF EUROPE
Boundaries Shown on Big Bulletin
 Board at Age-Herald Building

The Age-Herald has received copy of the Literary Digest Liberty Map, showing the geographical results of the peace conference. The map is invaluable for references and for the convenience of the public the map is being displayed tenn porarily in one of the weatherproof bull ietin boards in front of The Age-Herald building. In announcing the publication of the new map, the Literary Digest makes the following announcement:
 'The world war has permanently changed the face of Europe Out of the wreckage of autocracy new nations of fire peoples are building and you can not be in any real sense up-to-date unless you know who these peoples are and where their territories are located While there is universal interest in the new geography of liberty, planned by the conferences of the allied nations, most of us have only the vaguest conceptions of what its actual effects have been on the map. Any day you may get into an argument with a friend as to whether Roumania and CZecho-Slovakia have a common boundary. or one of the kiddies may ask you how the Polish corridor is laid out or what are the limits of the new Bulgaria. The one sure way to save yourself from the humiliation of having to plead ignorance under such circum- stances is to possess the Literary Digest Liberty may of new Europe, revealing the great changes resulting from the world war 1914-1920, together with a com pete new map of Africa.

To Relieve Catarrh,
 Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness, or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises will be glad to know that this dis dressing affliction can usually be success sfully treated at home by internal medicine that in many instances has eff fected complete relief after other treat ments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing stored to such extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made follows
 Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Parmint Double Strength). Take this home and add to it 4 pint of hot water and little granulated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum. but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any form or distressing rumbling, hissing sounds in their ears, should give this re- cipe a trial-Adv.

 Your paragraph column today reports the exceeding good nature of the people of this smiling city.
 There must be very many who, like my self, feel it at once a privilege and an obligation to indorse and add to that tes- imony. Especially do I earnestly wish to emphasize the remarkable hospitality or the owners of automobiles of all grades especially in the case of obviously busy men-proffered to travellers afoot Dur ing the period of my comparatively brief residence in Birmingham I have had oc- casion to entertain goodly number of friends from other parts, and all of them have spoken with enthusiastic surprise Of the not casual but general habit that obtains of stopping to pick pedestrians up
 Time and again I have expressed my gratified appreciation to one and another quite unknown to me who have pulled uI with a cheery, Going my way?' And In you get and on you go. Always one is answered with a note that voices a genuine pleasure at being able to offer the seat or seats And I have observed that there is no discrimination unless it decrepit traveller. This is really very the Birmingham use. And the experience of my guests corresponds with my own where they say.

PAYMENT ID ROADS
 WILL BE HELD UP
Treasury to Wait for Final Ac- counting of Losses During
 Guarantee Period
By Associated Press

Washington, October 7.-Treasury pay ments to railroads under guaranty pro- visions of the transportation act will be held up under ruling today bv Comm troiier of the Treasury Warwick until final accounting Of losses sustained dur ing the guarantee period is made. Of llcials estimated that approximately 5000. . 99oooo was involved.
 Carriers already have received about sl3l,0o0,OOo under the guaranty provisions. pald in the form of advances against es- timated deficits incurred prior to Sentem- per l, when the guaranty expired MT. Warwick's decision held that failure of any road to have obtained adeauate ad- vances was no fault of the treasury, and therefore that Secretary Houston was not compelled to make further payments 'piecemeal"
 TO permit payments "pIecemeaI'' would entail "a never-ending revision'' of the carriers' accounts by the interstate com merce commission, the comptroller said.
 The decision was rendered on appli- ca tions by the Grand Trunk Western Hallway and the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railroad The interstate commerce commission had certified the application of the former line for $500 OOO and the latter for s250, ,0O0 but added that lbe certlhcation was made subject to the provision that further claims could be presented. and paid under the guaranty sections of the railroad law
 Such certification made it apparent, Mir. Warwick ruled that the amount sought was not the amount which finally would be required to make good the guaranty or earnings. and could be regarded in no other light than that of partial pay ment not authorized by law
