Every census of the United States has
disclosed women engaged in all kinds of
odd and unusual occupations, and the CEN
sus just taken is expected to be no except
ion to the rule. 1t is difficult to conceive,
however, that it will bring to light any
female avocations more curious than those
recorded in the Federal census of fifty
yearsago, which showed that women were
then engaged in earning a livelihood as
professional numbers and trappers, stock
herders, hostlers, draymen, steamboat
pilots, guano laborers, gunsmiths, gas
stokers, gunpowder makers, and ship rig

THE WANDERER" AT
 THE JEFFERSON

The Jefferson theatre, on Thursday, Frioay and Saturday and Saturday mat inee. is likely to become the Mecca of all playgoers who are anxious to see the glories of the great Biblical spectacle, "The Wanderer."
 It is undoubtedly the most stupendous combination of dramatic pictorial and Terpsichorean art ever presented in Bir- mingham.
 Against a noble background of his toric and scriptural import, story of deep human interest and intense dra- matic appeal is presented in this ir- spired drs matization of the well-known parable of the Prodigal Son. The Biblical drama has all the ele- ments which have been in former pro- auctions like Ben Hurr' to attract num- bers of people who do not make prac. tce of visiting theatres. At the same time. it Srouses the habitual theatregoei to the widest enthusiasm by it's force fulness as sheer drama it's unusual splen" dor, it's magnificence as stage spec. . tacle and the excellence of it's acting by 8 great cast
 Were not the title to much abused, by overzealous press agents, "The Wan derer' might well be styled the eighth wonder of the world"

FARMERS HOLDING
 CORN WHILE PRICE
 CONTINUES ID RISE
Oats Follows Its Ally in Good Advance, While Provisions Were 40 to
 95c Higher
By Assoclsted Pr.ss

Chicago, February 1s-Corn ad- vanced in price today as a result of in- dications that farmres were continuing to hold their grain. Depression in se- curities on foreign exchanges had only a transcient opposite effect The mar ket closed strong, 1@4ca21sc net higher, with May s1.S51k G1.35s and July S1.32A @1.S23s. Oats gained 1A @19s c and provisions 40@95c.
 Bearish attacks which took place in thee orn trade at the opening met with some success, but as soon as estimates were posted showing that receipts here did not reach even moderate total, the buying side of the market became the favorite, regardless of political or financial conditions to the contrary. The fact that even after a full week the railroad emergency orders to hurry the crop movement had failed to bring any important larger supplies to the big eenters was generally regarded as dwarfing all other factors for the time being, so far as the corn market was concerned. Realizing of profits after midday led to something of a reaction, but fresh upturns quickly followed.
 Changes in the oats market ran par allel with the action of corn.
 Provisions rose with grain despite selling hy packers.

TWO HEADLINERS
 ON THE LYRIC BILL

Yvette and Company in a musical tid-
 bit, and Charles Irwin. a monolosuist, captured the honors in the opening bill Of the Lyric last night and stamped them selves artists of the highest caliber. Both received repeated encores.
 Yvette possesses just the proper amount of personal charm that is re- quired in artists to make them stand o1t
 in bold relief from others who are god. but nothing more. Ably assisted by two male partners, her act is one of the most refreshing that has been at the seith
 house here in months.
 As for Irwin, he is monologuist with
 rare sense of understanding-an actor V ho has intelligent lines to say and who says them intelligently. He was received whole heartedy by the audiences last night.
 FentelIe and Cecil comedy couple. are of high order, and ther number was enthusiastically applauded. l The Leach -Wallen Trio. wire walkers par excellence, are daring artists. Their balancing feats were freely applauded. l Tawataka Brothers, styled Japanese marvels, are finished performers and won I a considerable amount of applause. l Perhaps one of the most enjoyable pic l lures seen in Birmingham in some time | however, is "The Gay Lord Quex," fea- turing Tom Moore. Moore is an awfuffy rapid wooer in this cinema production and because of this he finds himself ir
 a number of tight places which require a. dexterous hand for extrication. And when Lord Quex'' really falls in love past escapades loom up like one of MT Shakespeare's ghosts to haunt him. me pictude has an awfully fine "kick ana | YOU ought to like it.

ION WITH THE DANCE" STORY
 OF NEW YORK NIGHT LIFE

spending so much money, so Jimmy sug- gests that she dance at his restaurant masked each evening and make her own money Peter becomes suspicious when Sonia still wears new fur coats and won derful gowns, and demands of her the source of the money. Then he goes to the cabaret where she dances and sees her, almost dishabille. dancing before a crowded ballroom. He kills Jimmy, think ing Sonia was untrue to him, and the great murder case is the talk of New York
 Peter refuses to make statement at the trial and is about to be convicted, when Sonia comes to the courtroom, and, displaying enough ''onyx" to excite the sympathy of the jury, she admits that she and Jimmy were not on the level. and after a nasty consultation Peter is freed Sonia then bids him go his way, and refuses to listen to his plea for for giveness, Or his thanks for the lie she told to save him. She is about to throw herself into the water, when Van Vech- ten finds her. and brings her to his home. and begins teaching her what life really holds
 Miss Murray does some rarely beau tiful dancing throughout the play She is wonderfully graceful, and the type of Sonia, pouting and betting by turns, fits her as few roles in which she has played.

Spitz poodle you ever saw. sent him valentine the other day-a picture of Q little sdog with eyes that roll from side to side''
 And she held her little hands up. and gave an imitation of how that little pup looked with his eyes rolling. That was worth the price of ticket. Gee, she is so attractive. She just gets across in way that no one else would dare at tempt.
 whats to be seen in Birmingham? she asked me, still as though the inter view were all on her side of the fence I'm going to start out in little while, and do the town. like new places, and this is the first time I have ever had time to do any concert work. But next year think I shall take time, and do a lot of travelling Concert work is so in-
 teresting. How large is the theatre, or
 do I sing in a theatre?"
 We'll, I'll admit it was an interview
 on me. I guess she's caught up on hear
 ing herself tell people what she eats for
 breakfast, and how she likes her grape fruit served She completely turned the
 tables with me. and all l got out of the meeting was an impression of her beau
 tifully shaped eyes, her curly blonde hair. tucked under a tight-fitting turban, and her million carat diamond rings on her pretty hands, and her magnetic speaking voice. I knew she could sing. For all her slimnesS and girlishness there is a force somewhere within her that
 makes you realize she can do anything she wants to do and not be content with anything but the biggest way of doing i it. Her personality plus her marvellous voice have made her the greatest "Queer of Song" of today, and then nearly forgot to add once again how beautiful she is, and how young. and not at al conceited just because the entire world listens enraptured every time she begins to sing. Isn't it funny how little and everydayish really and truly sure enough people are?

 Of course there is girl, who peiieNe

 men out of them again.

 Mary, sing with Miss Mempel. She's
 pretty enough to draw crowd just to
 look at her. and she is graciousness itself
 when you meet her.
 When I went to interview Miss Hempei,
 was rather overawed at the idea of
 meeting a lady who had swayed the larg-
 est audiences in the world with her per feet voice, and gues swhat she handed
 me to put me on my feet!
 What do you w"ite? "Movies,'' I answered, trying to think how to get her to talk about herself. ''Movies? How delightful!' she ex- claimed, apparently much more inter- ested in my work than in talking about herself "Td love that. Do you go to
 see them?"
 Just five day on Mondays I an swered, idly.
 How perfectly wonderful. I adore movies Whats in town today? I'm going to some of them. I tell you I'll swap jobs with you; you let me go to the movies and write them up, and "Yes," | interrupted the celebrity most rudeIy in my astonishment. But who 5 going to sing?'
 Miss Hempel had just arrived from Jacksonville Fla, and she was most en- thusiastic about that city. She admitted l that Florida was little disappointing I because one expected more flowers, with so much sunshine. but she loved the peo- lple, and said she had an, awfully good time there.
