Owing to failure 10 come to an un- derstanding on Some of the details of the which the individual coal op- reators are making with the miners work ing for them, suspension of operations has occurred at number of collieries.
 Those affected Wednesday included Co., roma and Townley of the Corona Com pany Broowood and searles of the Alabama Company; Piper and Colean IT of the Little Cahaba; Marvel of the Ro- den Company. and one or two others.
 One company expects to resume today after a suspension of only three days. In this case the matter at issue is not vital and is understood to be merely one of detail.
 These agreements with the miners are being effected one. by one py each op- orator dealing with his own workers Each case therefore, is a separate one, bence each case gives rise to arrange ment of detail.
 The issue does not appear to be a uniform one at the different mines. The onerators declare they are abiding by inc award of the bituminous coal com having put in vogue in Atrii the terms of that agreement. However, this agreement was made with the miners of inc competitive bitum1nous field and, while the same percentage of increase III wapes and the like operate in Alabama, tha hasis is different one.

The Curious Crowd.

At first, the pretty young girl was standing on the corner by herself, alone. Evidently she awaited car to take her to her final destination.
 The first to notice it was newsboy. He stopped to look.
 That attracted some other newsooys. They all stopped to stare.
 The young girls face was twisting itself into all sorts of shapes and grimaees, and she displayed all the symptoms of having the cramps.
 Soon quite large crowd was around, looking, staring. Still the girls face was distorting itself into the most horrible, urithing contortions. What ailed hcs! Was it the St Vitus grins?
 Many of the onlookers wondered 1T there was a circus in town with some thing missing Somewhere.
 But the girl still kept up her remark able grimaces.
 And then handsome young man stepped up anxiously from the crowd.
 'Tarantula" he cried, what is the mat ter? Are you ill?'
 ''Why, mo-" and the girls face became reposed instantly. "Of course not"
 But you were making the most awfuf faces. Your chin was under your right ear, then your left ear, your nose was all screwed up between your eyes and
 "Oh," she laughed. 1T was just trying to get the gum around from the left side of my face to the right side with my tongue
 In confusion the crowd scattered.

CT Nature Talks About Johnny Chuck
 By THoRNTo w.. BURGESS
Old Mother
Perhaps it's just as well that we Can't see ourselves as others see.

"of course, Johnny Chuck looks like a Squirrel, for he is one" declared old Mother Nature. Johnny is very much bigger and so stout that he has none of the gracefulness of the true Squir- rels. but you will notice that the shape of his head is much the same as that of Happy Jack. He has Squirrel face when you look at him closely The Woodchucks, sometimes called Ground Hogs. though why and one should call them this is more than l can under stand, belong to the Marmot branch of the Squirrel family, and wherever found look much alike.
 As you will notice, Johnny Chuck coat is yellowish- brown, his feet are very dark brown, almost black, and lis kead is dark brown with light gray on his cheeks. Beneath he is reddish orange. His tail is short. for mem Der Of the Squirrel family. and, al- though it is bushy, it is not very big. In color it is dark brown. He has a number of black whiskers. Some Wood ehucks are quite gray, and occasion ally one is almost or wholly black, just as there are Black Gray Squirrels.
 Johnny here is not fond of the Green Forest but loves the Old Or chard and Green Meadows. In some

parts of the country there are nem- hers of his family who prefer the edge of the Green Forest. You will notice that Johnny's legs are short and strong and armed with stout claws. Those are to help him dig, for all the Marmots are great diggers. What other use do you have for those claws, Johnny?"
 They help me to climb replied Johnny promptly.
 "Climby exclaimed Peter Rabbit '.who ever heard of a Woodchuck elimbing?"
 q can climb if I want to-" retorted Johnny Chuck indignantly. I've climbed up in bushes and low trees lots of times, and if I can get aN good run first 1 can climb the straight trunk of a tree with rough bark to the first branches if they are not too far above the ground. You ask Reddy Fox if l can't? He knows"
 That is quite true, Johnny said Olc Mother Nature. You can climb a l.ttle, just as Peter Rabbit can swim little, but as a real climber, you are TO more of success than Peter is as

Estes Says City Would Be Justified in Making san
 Emergency Loan

Apropos the interview in The Age Herald for Tuesday, in which Fred c. Moore, city attorney, stated bond is- sue might be necessary to secure funds with whivh to repair Birming- ham streets. Thornton Estes, president of the Birmingham Automobile Club, has written Mir. Moore, calling atten- tion to the act of the legislature which permits the City Commission to eX ceed it's budget by s1o0.o00 for perma- nent improvements.
 Mir. Moore, in his interview, said the condition of the streets of Bir mngham did not constitute an emer- gency of sufficient importance to jus tify the city in exceeding its budget appropriations" said MT. Estes. Tn that he left the impression that the city legally could not exceed its budget except in a period of great emergency. The law, I am informed does not specify this, but says instead that the Commission may use s100000 in excess of budget appropriations in any given year, provided the funds are used for permanent improvements.
 There is no greater need before the people today than improved streets. Certainly such improvements would be called permanent, and I am of the opinion the City Commission would be applauded if it should borrow enough money to make needed re- pairs.
 "The excessive rains of recent weeks have made numerous repairs to streets necessary This condition obtains in all parts of the city. The Commission has power to borrow the money. and I hope it will do SOL

Down a little way the hall grew smaller, and was the same size the rest of the way. At the end was a nice bedroom with bed of grass There were two or three other little rooms and two branch halls leading up to side or back doorways. There was no sand around either of these, and they were quite hidden by long grass hang ing over them. They didn't look as if they had been used much.
