CINCINNATI. Aug. 29.-It is re ported that the matter of enactine laws to govern rental of residence property will receive serious consid eration at the annual convention oi the American Bar Association. to be held in Cincinnati beginning tomor row to September 2.
 The committee on noteworthy changes in statute laws, in the re port which it will present to the con vention at the session on Thursday evening, September 1, will say:
 "In the field of landlord and ten ant law, we find recent examples of unusual legislation. Shortage of housing accommodations has given rise to an abnormal demand, with resultant high rentals. These in turn have been made the justified tion for legislative regulation of rentals and terms and conditions of tenancy. Rent legislation has taken the form either of CD statutes like those in New York, repeating or varying statutory remedies of the landlord in such a way as to com pei or induce him to accept reasona- ble rents, or (2) comprehensive leg islation like that contained in the act of Congress applicable to the District of Columbia, which treats rental property as affected with a public interest and subjects the re lationship of landlord and tenant to commission regulation.
 'The New York type of statute simply takes away the remedy of eviction where the contract which the landlord claims is preached is considered by the courts to be un- reasonable, as. for example, where the rent demanded by the landlord is. in the opinion of the court, ex cessive. The New York legislature has declared as excessive" any rent which is more than 9 per cent in excess of the rent of the previous year. The landlord cannot evict a tenant who pays the reasonable rental.

the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The following article from your paper
of February would, believe, create an
erroneous impression in the mind of the
consuming public. which impression /
hope this letter will help to clear up.
Solution to the problem confronting
hay users in Birmingham because of high
freight rates is seen in the growing of
this hay on Alabama farms
Change the last words to sis seen in
the use of hay grown on Alabama farms
and you have the true solution.
Quoting further from that article ITO
cite an example of the saving for raiser
and consumer alike. Mr.. Redd quoted the
rates on a car of hay from certain far
western points at approximately $23 ton,
while the same car of hay could move
from a southern Alabama point into Biz
mingham at a freight rate cost of s. .S5
ton, or at a saving of sl9.15.'
The hay is in Alabama Why not use
1t and keep the money at home? Mont
gomery county alone has several thou
sand tons which we can hardly sell for
enough to pay cost of production. The
writer made several hundred tons this
last year and personally attempted to
get orders from purchasing agents of coal
and mining companies in Birmingham to
no avail. Their answer was that they
fed only timothy and alfalfa, for which
they were paying from $35 to $45 per
ton.
The following excerpts from the Jack
son Daily News and the Progressive
Farmer show the fallacy of any belief
that Timothy hay is superior to johnson
Grass hay. The News says:
johnson Grass hay is superior to
Timothy hay, as the following analysis
shows:

BUSTER KEATON IN
THE SAPHEAD"-RIALTOs

Buster keaton is the personification OF
dull and stupid indifference as BERTHE
Van Alstyne, the "Saphead' in the pic
ture of that name. THE Saphead is the
Rialto feature for the week. 1t is an
amusing comedy on the nonsensical
order. Buster Keaton, as BERTHE. the
Saphead,' is the son of very wealthy
stock broker. He is his fathers hope
and pride written with a question
mark. The hope and PRIDE break
fasts ''early' in the afternoon, every
morning after being out until the Hee
hours, and still at the end he con
fesses" that he is not wild On the very
contrary he is a boy who never forgets
his morning prayer before he goes to
bed. All of his wiIdness has simply
been assumed because he loved Agnes,
and thought wildness was the way to
win modern girl.
The father doesn't believe that BERTHE
isn't really Wild SO poor BERTHE is cut
off with paltry million, and has to
move into humble apartments in the
Ritz This is just about the line of
comedy that runs through the entire
picture, with only one change which Il
when Berthe decides to make good buys
a seat in the stock exchange and lit
orally tears things and gets torn up in
a smashing climax. And he wins out on
Wall street and wins the girl, and 1T all
turns out happily with nice little home

ALEXANDER, THE MAN WHO

Alexander, THE Man Who Knows"
who created such sensation during
his initial engagement in Birmingham
last December, has been booked by
Manager A. Brown Parkes of the JEFF
ferson theatre for return the week
starting Monday, February II, with I.
special souvenir matinee on Thursday
for ladies only and the regular matt
nee Saturday eor the general public.
Something in human nature compels
every individual to knock at the door
of the future, and Alexander gives a
most interesting as we'll as astonish-
ing example of opening the door a,
least little way and letting each one
in turn have a peep into his coming
fate. Alexander does not claim any
supernatural powers nor pretend to be
"a medium of spiritualistic communica-
ton. But he does claim that his sue
cess in the, phychic field is owing to a
lifetime of study and to his power of
concentration and his use of the posi-
tive knowledge that lies in the field
opened by that power.
