CLOUDS WITH SILVER LINING

OLOOO0' WITH OlLN LlNlNG
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining;
And so / turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out,
To show the lining.-Riley.
The mooted question as to what working girls
should wear simply will not down. All of US
are quite well aware that girls who click type
writer's under indirect lighting systems, girls
who figure other peoples money in rooms sans
sunshine, girls who file never-ending papers
in complicated systems in fact all girls who
hold down tiresome jobs in drab offices, would
far better wear bright coors instead of suit
able" clothes; but they don't.
Buttercup yellow, apple green and all the
flaming colors of the sunrise they never see
would be much more cheerful, much more APP
propriate. Few girls Of their own volition
care to dress like rainy day, but far too many
employers want them to look like the outside
of the cloud with the silver lining.

A SMALL ANACHRoNIsT

The youngster we recently told of who asked
his father why God hadn't given the zebra
stars as well as stripes has a match in the little
girl who wrote this description of the Ark
Overhead was gorgeous rainbow and
beneath it the little Ark rode proudly over the
waters, with smoke pouring from her smoke
stack and the United States flag flying at the
bow"

A MEASURE OF sAFETY

From The New Orleans Item.
Mrs. H. H. Beal was elected mayor Of Brew

elected out of IA candidates for aldermen.
Georgia was one of the never surrender states

USE OF POWER IN
SMALL STREAMS

Petitions before the public service commission
ask for authority to dam the Choctawhatichie
river Waterford for the purpose of gen.
Grating electric current to supply the towns of
Ozark, Enterprise Pckhard, Midland City and
Dothan. 1t is understood that a minimum of
$500 and maximum of 10000 horse power
is contemplated.
There are many power sites on the smaller
streams of Alabama that can be made to gem
crate electric current for local purposes. In
in Tennessee, the power of the smaller streams
is being utilized to advantage by nearby COM
munities. The capital required depends on
the size of the project.
While large interests are dependent on great
power projects there are dozens of commun-
ties along the river courses of Alabama that
could be supplied with power on small invest
ments It is field of development that COM
munites near power producing streams should
investigate

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
TO INSTALL SPEED BREAKER

"Your strong editorial on the National Safe
ty Week in Sundays paper was read with much
interest,"" states Charles Denegre, general
manager of the Crossing Danger Signal COM
pany.
Gas usual your great paper can be counted
upon to be on the right side when humanity
is involved.
eve are greatly interested in safety work,
because we are just now introducing what is
considered the best danger signal that has ever
been invented to prevent accidents at railroad
grade crossings where no flagman or gates are
maintained
"Our signal consists of-what is commonly
known as speed breaker or hump in the
roadway with the added feature of IMPEDING in
its approach side in white letters the warning,
r. R. x. Danger
"The form of speed breaker used by us is Of
modified form in that it tapers off with refer
ence to the roadway on the side of the hump
nearest the railroad track. This danger signal
is placed at point in the roadway at about
rs feet from the railroad track. The white
embedded letters can be seen at night almost
as we'll as by day because of the headlights on
the automobile.
SHOULD a reckless driver run upon the signal
at high speed, the occupants of the car will
be jolted, but this is better than being struck
by locomotive. 1t is our intention to not
allow the use of our new warning speed
breaker except at railroad grade crossings,
by this practice the public will soon learn that
a speed breaker with white letters in same
means railroad crossing just beyond Letters
patent have been applied for and, of course, all
rights reserved.
at may be of interest to you to know that
as our contribution to National Safety Week
we expect to install our new danger signals at
the Elmwood crossing where that awful acct
dent recently shocked the community. This
installation will be without cost to the city or
county"

MIGHT BE CARRIED TOO FAR

"While | am in favor of the Drink More
Milk movement it occurs to me that some of
the campaigns might be carried too far at the
same time" states R. M. Washburn of Minneap-
oils, former professor of dairy husbandry at the
University of Minnesota.
"The meat packers have inaugurated an
Eat More Meat movement in some places.
Then there is the Eat More Bread slogan
which we see advertised; the raisn eating adj
vice and many others. If we obeyed all the
impulses that the slogans urge we certainly
would be overfed
"The one movement which the bakers are
urging to use skim milk to supplant water in
bread making is one which would serve pur-
pose of making better looking, better tasting
and more nutritious bread, and am for it.
Professor Washburn conferred yesterday
with DIR. J. D. Bowling city health officer and
L. C. Buimer, chief of the division of food and
milk inspection of the department of health.
SUGGESTS LICENSE TAG BUREAU
ssUnder the prevailing system of auto license
tags in the state it is next to impossible to To-
cate car whose number has been identified
states A. R. Redburn one of the local workers
of the Safety Week campaign.
"There is no one in Montgomery who can
tell YOU to whom the license is issued They
can tell you in what county the tag is issued
and then you can verify the number in the
county bat in the case of accident in JEFF
ferson county in which with tag issued
from another county is involved, it is difficult
to locate the owner
an recent accident case in which car from
Jasper was involved it took the officers three
DAYS to locate the owner. There should be
some state register and an interchange Of
county or city tag numbers. with register Of
every license number issued in the state on file
in each county"

MORE FIGHT TICKET
FRAUDS INVESTIGATED

I More frauds in the sale of tickets for
the Dempsey Carpenter fight were under
investigation by detectives and the Dis
trict Attorneys Office yesterday The
latest investigation grew out of the offer
made several days ago to Frank Nc
Govern, manager of Hartman & Co,
brokers and bankers of Ill Broadway,
to supply him with three $50 tickets
for $40 each.
McGovern believed the tickets were
forgeries. though he did not question
the integrity of ". G. Vandervoort, a
dealer In investment securities Of 81

He consulted Inspector Coughlin. and
Detectives Mayer and Browne took the
tickets to Tex Richard, who affirmed

Edwards of New Jersey and his staff
Vandervoort said he had bought the
tickets from Samuel Neuwirth of 315
West 18th street, and he in turn said
he had purchased them from a man in
upper Broadway.
1t was said at Police Headquarters
that there are nearly as many forged
tickets in circulation as tickets Of the
