 "Will you take the opportunity that will be offered you" the secretary quoted the President as saying, that deemed it one of the greatest honors of my life that this event, so stoutly fought for for so many years. should have occurred during the period of my administration as President and please tell my fellow citizens that nothing has given me more pleasure than the priv ilege of doing what could do to hasten the day when the womanhood of the nation would be recognized on the equal footing it deserves"

 Alabama White Lightning

Not very far away, they came upon a procession of six hogs, every one giving positive eyi- dence of the influence of ''white lightning" Five were solemnIy fol- lowing the leader, who initiated the antics of a drunk man with such exactncss that the officers were forced to roll on the ground in their hiiarity.
 While h.y were thus aceUpied, n prisoacr they had captured quietly made av " and has since not been Iocsted.
 After seeing the hogs go off in drunken sleep, the prohibition off cers went hack to the scene of the pouring out of the contents of the barrel, hut the wonders of the day had not ceased.
 All over the top of the creek where the booze had been poured, fish were floating in n stupefied condition. All the officers hnd to do was to wade in and select the largest for a fine mess.
 Federal Prohibition Officer N. l.. Pierce, when he heard the story of his deputies was skeptical. Other people had the suspicion that it was the officers themselves whom the corn whisky had affected. Hut proof was furnished. The prisoner was undoubtedly gone md with bim a handsome pair of hnndcuffs. Be- sides, the fish were produced and almost drowning out the fishy smell was the odor of pure Alabama corn liquor.

 Federal Prohibition Officers J. H. Draper of Gadsden, W. E. Eubanks C. E. Howell and J. c. Allison re- turned to Birmingham from n raid in Shelby county recently with wild looks and equally wild tales.
 The story the officers told was that they were approaching a place where they knew a still was located when they were attraeked by number of squeals and sineuiarly lffe-Iike screams "iike man drunk as foOl.' said one of the officers. They inm ediateiy left the road and Investigated the cause of the screams and found a barrel of corn whisky buried in the dirt. The top had been torn off. Over the edge of the barrel. even when some dis tance away. they could see the ears of a small hog who was squeaiing away for his life. Only his nose was above the whisky.
 Officers pulled him out by his ears and he immediately gave n grotesque imitation of n drunk man rearing on his hind legs, leaning against trees and finally stagger- ing off while the officers were con- vuIsed by his antics.
 They went to work systematical- ly destroying all trace of the whisky. The contents of the bar rel were poured out into n near-by stream, and in the bottom of the barrel there was another hog, drowned in corn whisky.

"GUILTY OF LOVE-
 STRAND ATTRACTION

Dorothy Dalton is appearing al the Strand for the latter half of the week in Guilty of Love" a deep sex prob lem drama. Guilty of Love" is the story of courageous woman who as- serted her womanhood, and a man whom she helped to realize his man hood and the path of duty For the honor of a name she forces him into a marriage and leaves him Their re conciliatton proves an exception that defies all ideas of worldly wisdom on the subject The play is never what might be called light At times it takes a deep tragic quality Bupt 1t is based on 8 problem that justifies jus this treatment. a problem of the kind to create interest in the seriousness of the play instead of weightiness.
 Miss Dalton has excellent support in the performance of Edward Langford, a well-known' screen star. Mir. Lang ford has a strong masterful personal ity which was wisely selected to bal ance the strong womanly appeal of Dorothy Dalton. Taken in all Guilty of Love" is an exceptional picture.

Objection to Site Can Be Easily Overcome, States
 Public Building Expert

Thomas W Lamb of Now York nA- tionally known architect, has been SC cured by Birmingham to give the bene- fit of his knowledge and experence in selecting the plan for the proposed half million dollar auditorium.
 On invitation of Commiss.tner J Ellis Brown. Mir. Lamb came to Birmingham yesterday. conference was held with the City Commission and later an in- spection was made by MT Lamb of the site selected for the auditorium at Eighth avenue and North Twentieth street.
 MT. Lamb is specialist on theatres and auditoriums. He has drawn tho plans for public buildings in large cities # the country. He now has sixty-throe theatres under process ot construction.
 According to Mir. Lamb the problem G. noise around a building can easily be overcome by the arrangement of the walls, windows and acoustics of the building. He offered as proof the thea tres on some os the busiest corners of New York, where there are mary kinds o1 noises.
 In his opinion the objection to the site selected on account of the noise from he Frisco rairoa is negligible in face or the many advantages or the Slle.' lne factor of noise can be disposed of by several methods, he states. A double wall can be erected and the fittings of the windows can be made soundproo-. In this case artificial ventilation would Irobably have to be furnished. Proper acoustics will in his opinion also help Sercome the annoyance of noise.

 The Truscon Steel, of Youngstown, O., largest builders of steel structures and manufacturers of steel building parts, came to Birmingham about year ago be- cause 1t found 1t more economic to distri- bute to southern and southwestern terri tory from Birmingham than from Youngstown.
