WAREHOUSE RENTED COUNTY SUPPLIES
Board of Revenue Leases Building for Use of County
 Purchasing Agent

At meeting of the board or revenue yesterday morning resolutions author izing the renting of large warehouse at 22o6 Morris avenue were adopted.
 This building will serve as a modern supply depot in which stocks of all clothing feedstuffs, electric fixtures, auto equipment and accessories and all supplies used by the county will be kept and handled through George Brooks, county purchasing agent.
 Several weeks ago W. B. Copeland was appointed to look into the matter of obtaining suitable place and yes- terday reported that this building could be rented for approximately $1oo a month. The board authorized the lease of the building for seven months or to October 1, 1921, with the 9rivi- lege of renewing the lease at that time if the board so desired
 Mem bers of the board stated that the lease of this warehouse and the opera tion of the supply depot is in further ance of the plans of the board to ham dle all supplies needed for the county through the purchasing agent. They are of the opinion that thousands of dellars annually will be saved to the county in the purchase of supplies by doing away with the haphazard pur- el ase of supplies at different places and the expense incident to such man. ner of purchasing.

ST. PAULS MISSION
 VERY SUCCESSFU u
Attendance at All Services Un- usually Large-WiII Close
 Tomorrow

The present mission being conducted in St. Paus Catholic church by the two Redemptorist priests, Fathers Pathe ana Mariarity, is said to be the most sue cessful of the many missions held in re- cent years at St. Pauls. Every seat in the spacious edifice has been filled at the services which have been held daily.
 The sermon subject last night was Why Do We Catholics Go to Confess who stated that the objections that time and time again have been refuted are being brought forward today.
 Tn the days of Christi" said the speak CT, the Pharsee said: How can this man forgive sins? and in order to prove that man had that power, the Lord per formed great miracle with power. That power He afterwards in the day of His resurrection gave the apostles, and the successors of the apostles today exercise that power just as President Harding to- day exercises the power of United States President that the first President, George Washington, exercised"
 The speaker pointed out that the bur den of proof rests not in the Catholic who is in possession of the doctrine Of confession, but on those who deny the doctrine. He issued the challenge that the church, he stated, in every age has issued that those who deny the institu- tion should point out the day, the year, the epoch, even the century, when some crafty priest or bishop or pope invented confession and hadn't common sense to exempt himself and the priesthood.
 By many quotations from the writings of the fathers of the church, quotations from Pope Clement, third in succession to Peter; Tertullian, the great writer, and others he pointed out how the early church procured confession as it is prac- ticed today.
 The speaker was given the closest at- tention by the large congregation. The 40 hours devotion, one of the most inn pressive services of the church, is be- ing conducted as part of the mission.
 This evening at 7:30 o'clock there will be a. ceremony in honor of Our Lady and the sermon will be "Why Do Catho- lies Honor Mary?"
 Tomorrow at last mass there will DC special sermon and tomorrow nigh' the mission will close with sermon, re- newal of baptismal vows and solemn benediction of the most blessed sacra ment.

CUPID TAXES HOLIDAY NO MARRIAGE LICENSE
 WAS ISSUED FRIDAY

Cupid has gone on a strike; or rather took a holiday yesterday.
 Not marriage license was issued at the office of J. P. Stiles, judge of pro- bate Although Friday is usually dull day in the issuance of marriage licenses, yesterday broke the record for the past six months.
 Many people are superstitious about marrying on Friday. even though it isn't the thirteenth, according to Wooisey Morrow. chief clerk in the probate office, and very few matrimonial bonds are called for on these days
 Once in a while young swain takes his courage in one hand and his Sl75 in the other and defies old friend super stition and secures marriage license, !" said MT. Morrow However, when Fri- day falls on the 18th day of the month we do not look for any business at all in the matrimonial line, and very little on any Friday. Every time we have dull Friday we know what to expect on the Saturday following, and we usually more than make LID for it."

SARG'S MARIONETTES
 PR0VEADELIGHTT TO
 LARGE AUDIENCES

Tony Sarg's marionettes delighted two large audiences at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and lass night. The performances were mar vel of ingenuity and mechanical skill. plus dramatic ability on the part of the unseen actors who manipulated tho puppets and spoke the rines. To take puppets and infuse into them the spirit of real drama is no mean accomplish ment. It deserves to be called an art and the Sarg marionettes, which have established a new vogue in the Amer can theatre, mark unique achieve ment in this country, although puppet shows are an old story abroad.
 If such a play as 'Rip Van Winkle' for instance, which was given last night were done entirely in pantomime it might become tiresome to an adult spectator, if not to child, but when the dialogue is spoken something that approximates real acting is the result.
 Mechanically, the marionettes are as nearly perfect as human skill can make them while the modern adjuncts of the theatre are used to lend realism to the scenes and incidents of this familiar story Last night the Jefferson was filled with children and grown people,
 but 1t would be hard to say if the children or their elders got more ent- joyment out of the performance. PooA Rips adventures and misfortunes were told with extraordinary vividness, when one considers that all the visible actors in the play were puppets. Rips dog was a masterpiece, Dame Van Wrinkle was most obstreperous and sharp-tongued spouse, while Rip him. self, and his two cronles, Nicholas We'd der and Derrick Van Bummel had all most human qualities.
 matinee performance of "The Rose
 and the Ring will be given this after noon, which will end the engagement Judging from the large audiences and the brisk business done by young girls who sold candy. the Iinly Hef1in Unit under whose auspices the marion cites were brought to Birmingham. has already realized large sum for the Alabama Childrens Aid society.

 Positively one of the very best rem ditions of The Mikado' I have ever seen and I saw the original company, an all-star cast or two, to say nothing of sundry lesser attempts" Mir. Jonas writes. There was about the perform ance less interpolation than is custo- mary. The traditions of the various parts were respected. And the music was taken, with the fewest exceptions. with care and skill and with proper regard for the importance of making the play intelligible, result singulariy aided sy the all but faultless enunciation Of the principals
 Staging, scenic presentation, costumes all add to the charm of perform ance that. like that right elbow, IS worth going miles to see

MISSOURI SENATOR PUTS ON
BATTLE ToGs TO OPPOSE AN.
TI.eEER MEASURE WHEN 1T is
REVIVED IN UPPER HOUSE OF
CONGRESS.

Washington, d. C., Aug 5.-Dy
forces in the senate succeeded IN pull
ing the anti.beer bill down of the leg.
islative shelf late Thursday but they
made little Roadway in their efforts
to bring it to vote,
Senator Reed, Missouri, offered am
amendment providing heavy fine and
imprisonment for prohibition agents
who ignored the constitution in their
zeal to enforce the dry" laws He
made a speech in which he vigorously
condemned the governments enforce
ment methods and denounced the
pending measure Outlawing beer as
medicine
Senator Reed charged that the cOun.
try is full of Illicit whiskcy and Illicit
stills" and that IAN army OF spies and
lnformers keep watch over tie citi-
Zens" He asserted that prohibition
agents had violated the constitution in
countless instances. and declared that
men pretending to be officers enter
private homes thousands of times in
reckless disregard Of law aud right
Highwaymen. in the Euise Of prohi.
bition Officers. he declared, are hold.
ing up citizens, looting vehicles, and
picking pockets.
Attacking the provisions OF the bin
banning medicinal beer, he said:
"The language of the constitution
prohibits the manufacture and sale OF
beer for beverage purposes. II eN.
tends not ont fraction Of a shadow
beyond, and any use Of intoxicating
liquor which is not for beverage pur.
poses has not been prohibited
by what stret.h OF the language Of
the constitution can the proponents Of
the bill claim that the prescription
of doctor for beer and porter and ale
for sick people is a prescription for
beverage purposes?
1T will strain the ingenuity of any
court to find line Of reasoning which
would Justify this wrenching of the
constitution and the usurpation by the
congress of rights never granted to
the federal government and never IN
tended to be granted by the American
people who adopted the constitution !
81 do not wish to say anything sar-
castle but do say that the man who |
thinks more about his prohibition pro-
clivities than he does Of the constitu-
ton is a bad American and an I'M
worthy member Of the American We
public. The man who thinks that the
prescription of a bottle of beer to Il
sick man or an old lady who needs 4.
a tonic to keep her alive is a worse |
crime than the destruction Of the con |
stitution has no conception of the /
American government or the sanctity |
Of its constitution"
A formidable movement is under
way to recommit the bill but adyo-
eetAs of the measure are confident
they have the votes to pass it.
