consensus of opinion. The result of much talk has been rather to injure Birmingham in the eyes of the out side world than the men struck at. in the eyes of those possessing suf- frage in the city
 To illustrate, the wife of one can didate has been lying desperately i'll in local infirmary while her hus- bands record has been made the tar get of attacks which have been in the main unjustified. This has been the favorite vote getting weapon used by several candidates. It's potency will be tested tomorrow. With all these attacks, however, not real issue has raised it's head above the horizon, which remains as clear as It was before the smoke and thun- der drifted down and then away.
 Audible signs of relief will no doubt be heayed by many citizens, who have evidenced but little interest in the campaign, when the final count of ballots is in. Their attitude is that Birmingham has nothing to gain from such tactics as have been used.
 Suburbs Hold Balance
 As before, the suburbs are expect ed to wield the big stick of power balance Old Birmingham is outnum- bered by about 1000 suburban votes
 Candidates obtaining the support of the suburbs stand excellent chances of being members of the next city commission. Especially will this be true in the run-off, should one be necessary, if the election four years ago can be used as precedent.
 In the event of run-off. two can dldates for each place for which a second election Is necessary will be voted on. These candidates will be those receiving the largest number of votes at the polls tomorrow. It is possible for ten candidates to enter the run-off, two for the presidency and two each for the sfour associate berths.
 With all lines sharply drawn and each candidate advancing the time honored prediction of his own elec- tion by safe majority, the curtain will be drawn tomorrow morning for the grand reckoning of results at tained during the campaign of the last two months. The voters of Bir- mingham will be staging an elimina- tion contest all their own.

Vulcan, the son of Jupiter and Juno, the Roman god of fire. and patron of metallic handicrafts, not only played part in the life Of the Eeternal City, but has been the pa- tron saint of Birmingham.
 He is wise old guy and if he could talk he could tell many tales from the day when he was set up at St Louis to incarnate the spirit of Birmingham, the Magic City of the new world, to the present day
 But his size has not saved him from being moved from place to place, and his present site is by no means permanent, for every little while someone revives the scheme to put him on top of Red Mountain With flaming torch in his hand to light up the valley below.
 At St. Louis the trysting place of all the Alabamians was at the base of the pedestal on which he stood and during the fair just closing many were the people who said. We will meet around Vulcan" And so he never lacked for company as during night and day parents and children young men and young women, and other friends were about to keep hi,r from getting lonesome.
 At one time half dozen or more parties yesterday sat on the pedesta supporting him, eating their lunches as unconcernedly as if they were IT the heart of the woods on picnic The grown people sat about as the children played between his feet or tried to scramble up his legs. He was host to many happy family gath erings. Fathers and mothers rested as the boys and girls romped.
 But the strangest thing which ever hIppened to the towering old got was when a little wornout mother sat down in his shadow and whil' nursing her baby sang 1t lullab, until it fell asleep, and then, with

said Sophia Camel, that we look our
best in the winter time and not in
the summer time, when the zoo is
filled with people and when so many
come to ride us.
But we don't care about our looks.
We have our family ways. And one
Of our family ways is to molt our
hair after the long winter is over.
1--WE can't change our ways TO suit
people, even if we would like to change
them"
'We can't, indeed" said Sally Camel.
"And though they may think it pity
we don't dress up in the summer time
they will have to take us as they tnd
US and be satisfied"
"That is So said Sophia Camel.
'Pve been giving so many rides to-
day." said Sally. Truly l didn't know
there were so many children in the
world as came to the zoo today. Out
in the desert there weren't lots and
lots of children as there are here"
'I never saw so many as l saw to-
day." said Sophia. ''Never in all my
camel life"
"Well," said Sally, perhaps we may
have forgotten. We have been here
other summers and there may have
been as many children here, and we
may have given as many rides, too.
But of course we aren't so tremen-
dously bright and so we may have for
| gotten.
1--WE aren't supposed to be so bright
And why should we make the effort
when it isn't expected of us?"
"Why, indeed2" asked Sophia.
Besides it would be a great effort
to be very bright, a great, great eff
fort, indeed" said Sally. "Tm sure
it would take all Of my time and at
tention if I tried to be bright.

all that time enjoying myself as do
now.
Besides" Sally continued, "we do
our work. We give rides to the chill
dren and they like it."

Sophia.
"The other children would not care
for us any more If we were any bright

"That is" she said, "they wouldn't
care for us any more than they do
now if we were any brighter. They
like US as we are, and as we are, we
will remain.
sits too bad, perhaps, that we don't
look our best in the summer time, but
we can't help that.
"The children wouldn't like US if
we knew geography and history and
arithmetic.
They're having their vacations now,
and they are perfectly willing to for
get about geography and history and
arithmetic for the time being.
They'd rather have us give them
rides than do anything else. That is
what they like to have us do"
"Of course" said Sophia, "and we
shouldn't make any effort when it isn't

Stocking of Chiffon Trimmed With
Open Work Design, One of the
Favored Fashions.

One of the newest things in the
hosiery world is the stocking of chiffon
trimmed with an open work design.
The drop stitch stocking, it is said, is
not in such demand as it was few
months ago.
For sport wear a heavy ribbed hose
in wool is excellent. For the woman
who cannot wear this ticklish weave,
silk and wool mixture is shown. An
other way in which this difficulty may
be overcome is TO wear two pairs of
nose. the inner pair being of thin silk,
while the outer one is of the wool. The
favorite shades for sport wear are
brown, dark blue and bladS
Speaking of cOlOrs, a very dark
brown called African is now consid-
cred as staple a color as black. For

All of the Paris dressmakers are

The Parisienne is going in for sports
as never before. Golf clubs near Paris
are the center of great social activity.
La BOulie, which is near Versailles,
and ST. Cloud, so near Paris, are daily

have interesting golf courses, are fa-
No'5te resorts for week-endS, and thus
The sport coat has come to be an eS-

Another popular model of this lat

PIaids and Profuse Patterns.
Black and black and white COM
binaticns are still very popular, al
though no longer exclusive. Heavy
crepe Marocain continues to be much
in evidence for the wrap and the
craze for the cape coat or mantle,
usually in black, made on the sim
plest possible lines, often with en-
hroidery in self-tone, still continues,
There is also continued use of black
monkey fur as a trimming. These silk
and lightweight cloth coats, although
simple enough for the daytime, are
sufficiently dressy for informal eve
ming wear.
Any number of capes of Rodier
plaids made on the order of the Eng

ported to this country. An unusually
smart one by Premet is of gray, brick
and bright red plaid wool. Brick
color and bright red are an unusual
combination. One might judge from
reading about it that the cloth has

not so. The brick and gray are mere

well-thOught-out way to make a FABRIC
very much out of the ordinary.

Care Of Finger Nails.

If your finger tips are rounded you
should file your nails so that they are
just a trif1e more curved than your
finger tips. This will tend to make
them look graceful. The claw-like
nail, although fashionable with many
women who prefer following general
fashion tendencies without regard to
the individual shape of their fingers, is
far from beautiful. Very often when
this style is affected the nail is fled so
closely down the sides of the finger
tip that the underneath cuticle is quite
apparent. This type of nail cutting
should be reserved exclusively for the
woman who has triangularly-pointed
finger.
