Savannah whisky to distribute among his
friends Had there been two bottles in

been done among the jolly guests.
Yesterdays Age-Herald told Of an an
alysis of whisky which killed a strapping
big man and good citizen Of Birming-

20 years the writer has known as a jolly
good fellow, as honest and conscientious

chemist, The Age-Herald paying for the

wood alcohol-a deadly poison-and God
knows what other poison will be shown
when the analysis is completed.
Some of the soldier boys recently on
strike duty in Walker county bought a
half. gallon of moonshine and brought it
into camp. Fortunately the captain spied
them bringing in the jug. He ordered it
to his quarters and gave the boys prac-
teal talk, telling them it probably had
lye in it and was deadly poison. To
prove it he had the boys catch a stray
mongrel dog which had been providing
about the camp for several days. tea

Judge Sibley Expresses
an Elemental Truth

II JUDGE SIBLEY, of the federal
~ district court in Atlanta, went
no further than expressing an ele-
mental truism respecting human af-
fairs when he declared that "no board
or law has the right to fix wages so
high that a railroad cannot pay them
and operate"
To contend otherwise than Judge
Sibley does, is tantamount to declar
ing that it is the duty of human be-
ings to give their subsistence to 9th
ers without return in kind. Either
those whose money is invested in the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad must earn sufficient to pay
them a return on that investment or
they will lose it. If forced to operate
at loss they would become impover-
ished and a time would come when
credit would not be extended.
II is so simple it seems passing
strange that judge of high court
should have felt it incumbent on him
to call attention to this fact, yet the
labor board practically compelled him
to do it because of the peculiar in
difference which that body has shown
in considering the revenues and cost
of operating the road.

returned from the east. The retail
mercantile business of this city has
maintained a good pace, in face Of the
slowing process in some of our indus
tries. The volume of business has
been as great as last year. although we
have to sell more goods to get in the
same amount of money.
If we but keep going at 50 to 60
per cent in our industries, pending the
general recovery, Birmingham will
have come through it all in fine form"

Gown Your Own Home" Week
at the Chamber Of Commerce

"a ~ EN- and women who attend the
NWll Gown Your Own Home" ex-
position in the Chamber of Com
merce auditorium this week, will
learn much about Birmingham.
Whether they wish to build or not,
they should see what Birmingham
material men and others connected
with the building business make
and do.
There is q great deal about ones
city which all should know, but do
not because much Of it is hidden in
the factories scattered over the dis
trict. There are materials for build
ing and identifying homes manufac-
tured in Birmingham that one sees
first here and there and admires
without realizing that they are home
products.
The Gown Your Own Home" exposition
has grouped it's home exhibits so that
men and women may learn through
them more about home building in a
half hour of inspection than days Of
scattered effort would bring about.
The exposition came at the right
time. Birmingham is building homes
and thinking about building homes
more than in number of years. Il
the pace set by February and March
increases in proportion to the stride
already taken, it will mark new high
record CT home acquisition on the part
Of Birmingham citizens.
A city of homes is what we want
Homes seem within the reach of every
pocketbook. The thoughtful head OF
family should visit the exposition
and see for himself what is there.

I Tomorrow---the Last Day---Will See Our
Entire Spring Lines Arrived to Date
Thrown on Sale at Closing Out Prices

The sensational and spectacular ending to-
morrow Of the greatest sale that Wilmington has
ever known should bring home most forcby to
the women OF this community new conception OF
Tuckermans as value giving institution.
When we established our business here short
three years ago stressed with the necessity
of fovercoming the obstacle of an 'o Market street
location"
The matter Of experimenting never appealed
tous
We sought and found an all-inclusve solution
to our problem The nucleus upon and around
which our store policy was formed was that
We must first Of all gain the confidence of the
Wilmington women through absolutely square
dealing, courteous and obliging treatment
We must gain the confidence of the best manu-
facturers in America in order that we might get first
consideration new creations and the benefit of
lowest prices
We must be content with the smallest margin
OF profit possibly consistent with good business
principles.
Wemust undersell all other stores in the city.
We must match the stocks of other stores as
well as show exclusive garments for persons desir-
ing this service.
We must give our customers the benefit of our
low rental due TO our being ''off Market street."
and attract them TO by real savings in dollars on
identical garments shown in Market street stores.
Wemust attract trade to US with our low prices
without sacrificing quality or offending the dignity
OF our store
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1921-01-07

We must satisfy our customers at all hazards.
We have been successful and prospered Our
closing out sale was stock turnover affair purely
and simply IT'S SUCCESS WAS AND Is OUR
SUCCESS AND YOUR SUCCESS.
While we have lost money during the sale due
to sacrificing, we have gained thousandfold
in the esteem OF the people of the community.
Each and every person who has bought dur
ing the sale who will buy tomorrow will be life
long friend of Tuckerman's.
Nor are we content alone with offering the low
est prices in the city. Each and every garment
we sell MUST BE RIGHT TO THE SMALLEST
DETAIL.

CLAIM NEGLECT
CAUSED DEATH

fBv Evening Ne~s STAFF correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 25-
Papers in a New Jersey supreme
court action brought by Joseph J.
Dwyer, of Jersey City, plaintiff,
against the Snare 81 Tricst Construc-
ton Company and Michael Sasso,
defendants, have been served by Of
ficers of the sheriff's office. Dwyer,
administrator on the estate of
George Snow, of Jersey City, who
was killed in an accident at Perth
Amboy on April 81, asks $4,000
damages from each defendant.
Snow was riding a motorcycle
along Amboy venue near Leon ave-
nue. on the afternoon of the 21st,
according to the papers in the case,
when the accident occurred. An au-
tomobile bus which, it is claimed,
belongs to Sasso, was in front of
the motorcycle and Snow attempted
to pass the bus, but could not do so
on the right on account of the con-
dition of the road. In passing to the
left to the automobile bus Snow was
struck by an automobile truck be-
longing TO an Elizabeth firm and
died from the effects of injuries
received.
The papers charge the Snare &
Triest Company with negligence in
building the road and also charge
the bus driver, a servant of Sasso.
with negligence. Alex Simpson rep
reSents the plaintiff.
