comfortable as soft wool. OF this pure
virgin wool attractive plaid blankets
are woven in Oregon City, right where
the wool is grown.

the right size and weight for auto
robes, or to use over a davenport or

fully blended, and the selection is so
good that YOU can find any color

There are the most attractive photo-
graph frames at the Sullivan Art
store. The frames mostly, are dull
gold, have their own standards and
are decorated in the soft polychrone
tints. One that I admired very much
had a band af dull blue with tiny
hand painted pink flowers at the
corners.
The frames without a picture would
make lovely gift for any occasion.
There is such a variety of these
beautiful frames at the Sullivan Art
store that it is impossible for me to
try to describe them all. The one
spoke of appealed to me especially
because of the beautiful shade of blue,
which predominates in the color
scheme.
If you are considering the purchase
of gift, or have any unframed photo
graph that you prize highly, you
should see these frames at the Sui
Ivan Art store.
FEARS HAVE been voiced that the
innovation of golf Knockers for women

Let's Enjoy 1t!
it's old-fashfoned

I suppose it's old-fashtoned
To get so impassioned
Over things that so oft have been noticed
before,
To love things as they are,
Old sun, moon, and star,
And be glad of their beauty. and ask moth
ing more,
To find the old world just as young as of
Not to seek to improve it,
But merely to love it;
Contented that April has nothing to bring
But dogwood in bloom,
And the violets perfume,
And the same birds come back with the
same songs to sing
Not Il single changed note
In each old ashioned throat
And the same little nests and the same
busy wing
And love just the same.
Just the same good old game
Quite eontented am l to ask no improve
Since the old world began
With a maid and man,
In spite of amendments and up-to-date

Is far from amiss,
To reform" would destroy it,
Far better enjoy it.

Report of MunicipaI-F Federal Employment Bureau Shows Much Activity

Industrial information was given out to more than 15,000 men and women during the year from July l. 1920, through June 30, 1921, accord ing to the annual report of H. F. Oliver. manager of the municipal federal employment bureau in the city hall.
 During the year. 3,345 persons were placed in employment through the efforts of the bureau. Most of these persons are still on the job, follow up investigation has shown, MT. Oliver stated.
 Persons applying for work at the bureau numbered s,39S, the report shows. Many of these were trans tents who did not stay In Birming- ham long enough to give the bureau workers a chance to place them.
 Applicants for work who have placed their names on file at the municipai- federal bureau have shown a steady increase since December, 1920, when the period of depression began ebbing lower and lower. Place ments have continued, however, with the gap between available jobs ard applications not so very much great CT, compared with conditions prior to last December.
 Persons obtaining jobs through the bureau and other people who arf prone to cnange jobs are sticking in enc place ~ now, according to MT. Oliver. When jobs are hard to ob- tain, the turnover is much less, he declared yesterday.

IMPROVEMENT OF STREET CAR LINES More Rapid Operation Saves Patrons of Street Cars
 Much Time

Increased efficiency and improved. equipment has resulted in more rapid operation of the street cars of Biz according to announse- ment made yesterday by T. c. lSrabs- ton, superintendent of transportation of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company
 Many improvements nave been made in the tracks or the company. several switches have been installed, repair work and rebuilding of cars has continued, and greater efficiency and better trained employees have all tended to speed up operations, ac- cording MT. Brabston.
 Cars are now operated every five minutes during the rush hours on the West End, Lakeview and High land avenue lines, due to shortening the running time between terminals on these lines. 1t was annoln ced The running time on tEe North and South Highlands line has been cut down 12 minutes on the round trip, while 20 minutes has been cut off the running time on the Pratt Ensley line for the round trip.
 The Idlewild and Fountain Heights line running time has been speeded up six minutes on the round trip. Within the next few days the run ming time on the Boyles line will be speeded up so that 20 minutes will be taken off the round trip running time.
 These changes in running time mean that the patrons of the cas- save many minutes each day on their trips" said MT. Brabston. "On mary of the longer lines a passenger LOW saves 10 minutes in coming to town and 10 minutes in going to his home over the running time which has been in effect. This makes the serv- ice much more attractive to those who are in hurry. We believe that the cars of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company are now making more miles per hour .nan those of any other system n he south"

STEAMER BRINGING LARGEST TONNAGE. F OR BIRMINGHAM.
All Records for Ocean to War rior Barge Line Freight Broken-Stores Prepar-
 ing for Fall Trade

Business from the east via. the Mallory and Warri1r barge lines is increasing as wholesalers of Bir- mingham find their shelves emptied of goods and are filling in stocks.
 The steamer Faristell of the Nal lory line, arrived at Mobile Monday with the greatest tonnage for up river points brought by these steam CTS since the water rates in that line of transportation went into effect, April l5.
 The agent of the Mallory line at Mobile is quoted as saying: Since the publication of through all-water rates to Warrior river points and rail and water rates to points in the War rior river rate zone the business has been growing with each successive ship sailing from New York"
 Effort is now being made by the traffic bureau and shippers to have the same rates declared on movements from Birmingham to the eastern sea board. The matter has been taken up direct with the Southern railroad and reply is awaited from that source pending carrying the case higher if needs be.
 The Mississippi Warrior barge line is also participating in business be- tween New Orleans and Pensacola and other Florida ports via Mobile. Goods are brought from New Orleans to Mobile by barge line and there transferred to Florida coast steam CTS. The rates are from 20 to 30 per cent under the all-rail rates owing to especially low rates made by the coast vessels.
