M0NTEvALL0 

Montevallo, October 19.-(Speciall- Charles Rendell Calkins, the director of music at the Alabama Technical Insti- ute and College for Women, gave a piano recital in the college chapel today. This is the first in series of nine re- citals to be given this winter by the menn- bers of the music faculty at the college. The entire programme was exceptionally we'll given. and it was such a success that residents of Montevallo as well as the students are looking forward with great interest to the next faculty re- cital.
 Mir Calkins opened the programme with the Mozart concerto in minor, which he played with fine intelligence and musical imagination. The minuetto received, as were the three Mcdowell studies, 'In the Forest" 'Tarentelle" and "Arabesque." But the most inter- esting of the numbers were nocturne in flat major, by Paderewski, and the .Reflections in the Water" by Debussy. One can scarcely imagine more ex- quisitely colored interpretation of this well-known work of the great modern French impressonist than MT. Calkins gave, and he played the nocturne with equally true feeling He seems to excel in such pieces, where his refinement and liInpid depth of emotional response ade- uuately present the delicate poetry in the composers complex mood. His fluent technique and light, sparkling touch were evident throughout the pro gramme, but added special beauty 10 the Capriccio Brilliante, Op. 2, by Men delssohn which closed the programme.
 Unusual credit is due Miss Lula Flaw kins, who played the second part of the concerto and the Capricco with true feeling and thoroughly finished style. The programme was varied by the in- troduction of two other numbers, vio- loncello arrangement by Wilhelmj or Schubert, Ave Maria, beautifully playeu by Miss Grace M Crocker, and song by Brown, Golden Harps Are Sound- ing" sung artistically by Miss Hannah Crook. with cello obligato by Miss Crocker. MT. Calkins accompanied these numbers in his characteristicaliy sympa- thetic manner. His short introduc'orS explanation of the form and the compo- sition oc several numbers added much to the enjoyment of the large audience for there, as well as in the programme itself, Mir. Calkins' scholarly muslciah- ship was shown and appreciated.
 Dr. M. Y. Dabney of Birmingham de- livered a very interesting lecture on the subject, Cancer" last evening to large audience at the college auditortu'i. He used very few technical terms; ms language was simple and clear, so tnat eyeryone could readily understand what he was saving He is one of the most interesting speakers that has appeared here. It would be well for every instt- tuition in the state to have him talk to the students.
 Miss Geister the national recreation secretary of the Young Women's Chris ton Assocation of America. Is spending fev days with the students at the col- Iere. Her address on Recreation" at the morning assembly was exceedingly interesting and helpful to the students She will deliver other lectures. besides holding many private conferences with students during her stay here.

ARE NOT LIABLE

The Impression seems to be abroad among a large number of women that if they register, they will be liable for jury service. a number of women hav- ing been heard to make the remark that they would register, but they were afraid they would have to serve on juries. According to NJ. E. Morris. registrar, the law in the state govern ing jury service and the law regard ing suffrage are two distinct laws and the women who register will not be eligible for jury service under the pres ent laws.

he intended to take council always with others. We have here an instanc. of the kind of council he will seek in connection with international affairs. Monsieur DeKobra appears to be .in- gentleman, but he is a humorist ana in his own behalf I doubt if he would say he is profound in international af- fairs.
 CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP
 Governor Cox has fallen into neat little trap that had been set for Sen ator Harding. Senator Harding never saw M. DeKobra and never heard of him until today. The facts about this rleasant little conspiracy are briefly these:
 "on Friday evening last few min Utes after Senator Harding's train arrived at Indianapolis, M DeKobra came to me at the Severin hotel, in- troducing himself as the correspondent Of La Liberte of Paris, and asked that udience with Senator Harding be ar ranged I declined and M. DeKobra became insistent. H. said he had been travelling with Governor Coxs party. ard having secured the Cox viewpoint of international matters was now de- sirous of an interview with Senator Harding. in order that he might pre- sent the republican side of the matter. He was very insistent upon seeing senator Harding, and seeing him inn nediately.. finally told him it was imposs ible.
 M, DeKobra did not at that time or any other. even speak to Senator Harding. Senator Harding was not in formed of M DeKobras importunities. indeed, never saw or met him at any time,
 s'M. DeKobra was evidently expected Ey Governor Cox to secure an inter- view with Senator Harding and to say certain things to him. Therefo fore. when Senator Harding. on the next day at Green Castle, Ind, made his casual observation about France hay ing sent a spokesman to him in formally Governor Cox assumed that tEe DeKobra mission had been success ful and that Senator Harding had taken the bait The governor pro ceeded to expose his own part, by dar- ing Senator Harding to say whether his French informant was DeKobra Governor Cox has merely overreached himself in his attempt to trap Senator Harding.
 As already stated, M. DeKobra was denied any interview with Senator Harding and Senator Harding never beard of the gentleman until his et

For Good of the
 Community

NO man gets very far with any degree " of rapidity by being carried on the shoulders of another.
 The man burdened with another mans weight necessarily is slow of pace
 It IS the army where each soldier car ries his own knapsack and walks on his own legs with his own vigor that wins the battles.
 County of Jefferson and state of Ala bama may as we'll fold up tents so far as development of inland waterways and their only port is concerned unless they get on their own feet and inject their own resources into the work.
 Uncle Sam has forty-eight states to care for. The money in his strong box is that of the 107, 100000 people in those states and territories He cannot make use of that money for one state more than for another
 Citizens of Birmingham have raised and expended more than S250,0O0 in building the terminals at Port of Birming- ham. These terminals mean freight rate independence. They are good as start CT, but they will not do in their present form for the business that will develop as greater and greater territory seeks to benefit from their use.
 The county aid amendment campaign committee headed by Judge w. B. Fort declares with certitude of foresight:
 This (the present terminal at Port
 of Birmingham) will be adequate
 for several years to come, but the
 far-seeing business men behind this
 enterprise realize that with the pres
 ent growth of traffic seeking the
 lower freight rates through this port,
 1t will be only question of time until 1t will become necessary to greatly
 enlarge these facilities
 It is for the ultimate purpose of
 clinching the development of this
 river that we are asking the people
 of Alabama to allow this county the
 right, if 1t should so determine at
 subsequent election, to lend it's credit.
 It is this way: A man with pride and am- bition would hate to live in state where, when he had the means, he should be in hibited from acquiring more acres, build- ing finer home, increasing the scope of his business. He would move to some other state, where he would be allowed to go forward if he wished to do so
 That is precisely what the state aid amendment to be voted on November 2 means. It will confer the right for the people of this district to get behind the de- velopment of their waterway carrier with so much of their resources as they may from time to time decide to invest in that cause.
 When, where and how much of these resources are to be used at any time will be up to the people. The amendment merely clothes them with the right of manhood; the privilege of doing what they may wish with their own.
 No harm has come to this state or any section of it from having certain natural rights conferred Much harm has come from having these rights denied. Our forefathers did not throw the tea over board because it was not good tea, nor be- cause they did not relish it, but because it carried with it the denial of their right to hearing in the taxation that was in

= r r. SHONTS'S abandonment Of his family for the
M charms of Mrs. Amanda Thomas resulted in
XVA consequences which the old traction magpate
probably did not foresee really desire However exas-
perated he became with his wife for seadasy refusing
TO give him q divorce so he could marry the other
woman yet he still retained real affection for his two
daughters Theodora the Duchess de Chaunes and Mar
guerite Mrs. Rutherford Bingham.
And these daughters suffered because of their fathers
Sntsnglement in many ways which seem to have been
purposely arranged by somebody The children attlb-
uted to Mrs Thomass busy mind many of the humiia-
lions and interferences in their most intimate private
effairs which they were compelled to put up with.
In the early days of Shonts's nfatuation with Mrs.
Thomas the daughters had of this sort of nterfer
ence They were, Of neglected by their father
who was spending and more time and money with
Amanda but at least nobody was pursuing them with an
apparent desire to make them uncomfortable.
It was not until 1911 that the wife and daughtersof
Shonts began to realize what grip Amanda Thomas
had Shonts They knew Of his relations with Amanda
and that he was anxious have his family live in Europe
But they could not believe that this infatuaon would
pass. They felt that he would tire OF the woman,
would see through her schemes and would drop her.
But the family was wrong Instead of shonts shaking
Amanda loose, she frightened her grip the traction
magnate and his millions And then began the distress
ing humilating episodes and continual nterferences
which Mrs. Shonts and the two daughters compelled
to suffer.
II early in 1911 and the family was returning
from Europe. The daughter Theodore (the Duchess)
decided to take her father in hand and frankly tell him
q few things and try to bring him to his The
newspapers had printed hints Of domestic trouble, and
report had been cabed from Paris that Mrs Shons
getting ready to bring divorce pr separation suit At
this time Shonts was very sensitive to public criticism
he dreaded publicity Of the scandal in the newspapers
President Shonts came down the bay the Custom

and met his daughter Theodore the deck Of the

her father and take him to task firmly for his relations
with Mrs Thomas and his outrageous treatment of his
own wife and children At that time the family little
pected how deeply involved their father with Amanda
Following her father into his room at the Plaza, the
Duchess de Chaulnes began thus:
"Father, don't you think you would be much happier
much more conented if you would break the spell this
Thomas woman has woven about you, and break away
from heri''
Mr.. Shonts regarded his daughter with surprise
and uneasiness, but made no remark.
"You know she is making fool of you" continued
the daughter. Don't you know she is we'll known in
Europe and there lots of men Paris who tell things
about herr And you know she is just fastening herself
into life for other reason in the world than to get
money from you"
"Now, don't let us talk about her, Theodora--lets
talk OF something pleasant Mr.. Shonts interrupted
but it is due to us, your daughters and your wife
persisted the Duchess that do talk about her. Surely
father cannot say to me- your daughter who knows
fallen in love with such a creature, youf'
'Why, how foolish you are Toosie," Mr.; shonts re.
piled, calling his daughter by her pet name Of course
I'm not in love with her. believe she is in love with
me- she to show it. She is taking good of me-
and now while am trying to get some Of my strength
back after my illness she is very valuable to me- But the
love is all on her side-not on mine"
'Wen, then, the Duchess said, "why don't you break
away from her altogether She's just working you
pretending to love you while all the time she is ching
money out of you and putting it away to probably spend
on some other mani know it,"
This statement rritated Mr. Shonts greatly Squarng
his shoulders and narrowing his eyes, he said:
What do you meant What do you know about her
spending my money other menf'
"Why, father, say, Of men in Paris arc
laughing at you They saying that you should have
shown better judgment if you wanted to have mistress
and get not common ] have been told there
are men in Paris who looking forward to
the time when Amanda Thomas and they will spend to-
gether Of what they term the 'Shonts millions
well" said Shonts uneasily "she will never have
any Of my money to spend anyone elseI will see to
that-but need her She has started taking care
OF me for the Summer, and will let things go just as
fhaNu lo,.,A Lar ~ for Tho
good she can do me-"
''But why not spend the Summer with us'' pleaded
