Am One of the Many Who Never Get
 Used to Marvels of Science

All prudent wives encourage thelr husbands to display their wisdom, I suppose. Married life isn't composed entirely of tenderness and caresses. Domestic happiness must be conserveI by commonplace processes and the wife must do most of the conserving. Just by showing a little inter est in a husbands point of view, sensible woman can coax poor love across many a deadly dull hour
 On this theory, invited Bob to keep on talking
 "Stupid?' queried. Why de- structive people think themselves so clever. Yesterday the man who fixed the radiator laid a greasy wrench. on my best blue damask sofa pillow. And there's no more blue damask to be had like it, He seemed such nice smil- ing chap, I thought, until l discovered the horrid smear of grease after he had gone Then I perceived why he was so pleased; he thought himself very smart because he had ruined my sofa pillow slyly."
 Bob took up my theme:
 T saw the same kind of 'smartncss' yesterday when I passed a corner ot the park It had just been seeded and fenced off Two young men in front of me deliberately tramped down the low wire netting and took a short cut over the seeded plot. They laughed, 
 they had destroyed public property undetected. Silly foolsiv
 sI suppose they ought to know that public property is their own propcrtyi' I ventured.
 ..ExactIy, That fence will have to be replaced and paid for second time out of the taxes, And the men who destroyed it will pay their bit Nobody escapes taxes. Those chaps didn't own property. probably. but they smoke. and go to the movies. and drink soda. and pay taxes indirectly in other ways Blind fools, Not to see that the gen. eral welfare is their own welfare. growlcd Bob
 When my husband gets too emphatic. I am accustomed to change the sup- iect I yentured:
 ..You wrote to Chrys about the letter from Daddy?
 .I wirelessed Chrys to make straight for Honolulu. and to wait thereN for Dad
 ..But Chrys is hundreds of miles out on the Pacific, And you wirelessed her as easily as you might phone to her in q down town hotel,''
 I almost whispered my amazement. It suddenly occurred to me that was one of the many who never get used to the marvels of modern science. I accept phones and airplanes and the wireless and million modern con- venienccs and luxuries without half realizing that they miracles.
 Indeed. I haye often heard science knocked rather viciously by certain in teilectuals. mostly friends of Chrysto- bel. It has been popular amusement with one class of highbrows to admit that science is the greatest product of civilization and then to claim that it has proved humanity's greatest curse, as perfected by the Germans and ap piled to the purposes of war.

WESTINGHOUSE Sam cor ralled twenty beautiful models in New York, brought them down to Washing ton and staged a fashion show.
 It isn't that he is getting giddy Or skittish, but it was really a business coup. The idea of the fashion show was to popularized cartridge cloth. eleven million yards of this material having been left on his hands at the end of the war.
 Each of the gowns worn by the models was made of the cartridge cloth by prominent New York houses. This cloth is really pure silk and was made primarily to be used as powder bags.
 In Peacock Alley
 The first day of the show, which took place in the famous Peacock Alley of the Willard hotel. was devoted to the families of congressman The sec ond day the diplomatic set were eSpe- ciaIly invited, and the third was Army and Navy day.

Weekly Financial Review
Ry Associated Pres,


 New York, July 3.-The noteworthy feature of the week in the securities mar let, apart from it's extraordinary inertia. was the recuperative power manifested in the later dealings on moderate buy ing of the popular speculative stocks
 This was true in equal measure of the bond market, although the demand for those issues probably emanated to ccn- siderable extent from investors or bene- ficiaries of the heavy midyear interest and dividend payments.
 Disinterested observers regarded these financial movements as further sign or the markets technically weak or oversoid condition. This view evidently was shared by many of the shorts whose covering operations gave decided momentum to the rebound.
 Although July disbursements will re- lease some S350, 100000 of cash, the rlgri attitude of the federal reserve board and financial interests cooperating with that organization remains unaltered. Proof of this was seen in the rise of commercial paper rates to 8 per cent. quotation without precedent here since 1907. Conditions remained obscured by cur rent transportation troubles and further reduction of activity in many lines oi manufacture. Crop prospects are favor able. however, and conservative opinion lleans toward lower commodity prices and gradual trade readjustment.

BAND CONCERT AT
 FAIRFIELD PARK

The Tutwiler orchestra. augmented to
 eighteen pieces, directed by Prof. Fred
 erick Weigand. has been engaged by
 the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce to
 render a concert in the park at Fairfield
 this afternoon from 415 o'clock to 6:lJ
 o'clock.
 The engagement of the Tutwiler orr
 chestra is departure from the regu- lar concerts at Fairfield in that bands
 have been used heretofore. However, it is believed this change from band to an orchestra will prove very enjoyable to the great numbers of persons that are regular attendants at the concerts in Fairfield. An added attraction will be the ap- pearance of Miss Lima Vogt and Miss Lily Goldstein, in several vocal num- bers. These young ladies that have been gagged have won themselves iyery high place in the esteem of musical lovers of Birmingham, and their ap- pearance at Fairfield will prove very interesting part of the Sunday enter tainment.
 The Chamber of Commerce of Fair i field which is composed of the leading business men of that city, are anxious 1 for every one interested to attend the concerts and make themselves at home I in Fairfield.
