Chicago, March 9-Michael Bulka

BILE astronomical clock which has at

In a glass d3me on top are mln-
allure sun, earth and moon whose
movements duplicate those of these
bodies in the heavens. The sun re-
mains stationary, but the earth turns
on its axis, the moon revolves around
the earth and both planets circle the
sun. The globes representing the
sun and moon are coated with phos-
phorus and show the nights and days
and the various phases of the earth's
satellite. Eclipses of the sun and
moon are clearly indicated.
The amazing thing about it is that
the earth revolves every twenty-foul
hours and the earth and moon take
twelve months to complete their circle
about the sun while marking off the
four seasons. While these planetary
movements are visible, dial on thu

Chairman Clark said:
"The situation is not as good now
as it was in December. There has
been a substantial falling off in gen.

ratio of the railroads of the United
States is something over 80. That
means that for every dollar that the

ENSLEY JACKETS
 OPEN CAGE SEASON
 WITH DORA TODAY

After about two weeks of hard prac- tice, the Ensley High outdoor basket ball team will open its season this aft ernoon in game with the Dora High quintet, to be played at Ensley at s:so o'clock this afternoon.
 The Dora cagesters are coming to meet the Yellow Jackets with a real reputation behind them. In 1918 thev were the state champions, and ever since that time have been rank ed among the first in the state each year, Bas- ketball has always been d major sport at Dora, and the quintets put out by this institution are always hard to bea f.
 Coach Hovater has a promising squad this year, one that should be able to do what other Jacket lives have beeu un- able to do, and that is to win a large majority of it's games. Basketball has never been supported at Ensley as much as the other sports, and, consequently, the few teams put out by the Jackets have not made much of a success.
 The forwards are well taken care of by Walker at one end and either Rosen- field or Peck at the vacant position. Rosenfeld is very fast, but Peck has an edge in shooting ability
 Polly Scokel, fullback, and one of the shining lights on the football team of this year, which was one of the best the school has ever had, is holding un- disputed sway at the pivot position.
 The guards are not causing Hovater to have any symptoms of insomnia with the return of Whitehead on top of the other two candidates, Williams and An derson.
 Taken all in all, the Jackets have a strong attack and defense to present to the Dora quintet this afternoon.

COMMISSION HEARS
 POWER LINE CASE
Houston Power Co. Seeks to Build Dam and Plant.
 Ruling Reserved

Montgomery, January 20.-(Special.) )- The public service commission today heard and took under advisement ihe petition of the Houston Power company for a certificate of convenience and ne- cessity which will permit the construc- tion of d dam and power plant across Little Choctohatchee river near the Dale Houston line. The company contends that it's present plant on the Big Choc- tohatchee generates only $50 horsepower at low season, which is not sufficient to supply the demand at Ozark, Newton and Hartford.
 The city government of Dothan op- posed the petition, contending that this plant would prevent the operation of a plant which the city proposes to erect for the furnishing of electricity at Dothan It was charged that the pe.i- ton now pending is an effort to prevent the erection of the municipal plant. Rep resentatlves of the Houston Power com pany admitted they also have plans Tor the construction of another plant on the main stream and that a petition for con venience and necessity is now pending before the federal government. They claimed they have in prospect customers for all electric energy which can be gen. erated by the~ three plants and maintain that the plant now proposed will De used in the generation of power during the low season, giving the company apout 600 horsepower 12 months of the year.

 The squad from Ole Mississippi fought hard and played fast game. In the early part of the second period by three quick consecutive goals they overcame the crimson lead and for a while had things going their way But the Ala bamians rallied and soon had the score in their favor again, keeping it there for the remainder of the game.
 Clayton Hudson started the scoring machine to turning for Alabama by ring ing a beautiful long range shot from near the center of the court. Walter in fine form and executed two long dis tance beauties. McGauley and BiclSley also played their usual excellent game, while I.eake showed up fine at guard

ADAM AND EVA" A
 DECIDED SUCCESS

A fine study of American family life, as it may be viewed in some circles. is presented in the comedy, Adam and Eva. which was capitally played at the Jefferson theatre last night. If theatre patrons chose the firesides or the steam radiator under the impression that Adam and Eva" would not provide an evening of entertainment, they were badly mistaken.
 When James King is driven frantic by his spendthrift family, every member Of which keeps in constant touch with his checkbook, he has an inspra ton He puts his business manager in charge and goes away for a three months vacation. Where he failed the business manager makes a brilliant success By the simple ruse of telling the family that King has been ruined and is comparatively paul. per, the manager, Adam Smith, converts the Kings a;ld their dependents into worth while members of society. They go to work, and whats more. they sue ceed.
 Adam has old-fashioned ideas about family life. The fact that he is himself a rugged product of the wilderness makes it rather easy for him to donli- nate and help his charges wip back tho self-respect they had apparently lost. ln- cidentally, Adam wins Eva while these salutary lessons are being learned. Even d fortune-hunting nobeman renounceA his title and becomes a livery stable pro- prietor, so it may be imagined that Adam works miracles by the application CT firmness and common sense. Coates Gwynne is well equipped for the charao. ter of Adam Smith, which he plays in quiet, mastersul way, with due regard for the sentimental side of the story. Charles Horn was a realistic business man with nasty temper, the kind of American citizen who can make money but can't manage his own home. Lois Bolton was winning and magnetic as Eva King Joseph Prosser was respon- sible for great many laughs in the amusing character of Uncle Horace Pill grim, who thinks. he is an invalid. Ro- mana Weaver as Corinthia, Frank Fl. Knight as the King son-in-law, Charles E. Bird as Lord Andrew Gordon, and Rosemary Hilton as Mrs. Dewitt were other members of the company whose abilities were conspicuous.
 Adam and Eva" will be the- attrac- tion at the Jefferson for the remainder of fhe week with a matinee Saturday.

)NZA DEFEATS ALLRED--SPORTS
Suggest Curbing the
 Expenditures Tn All,
 College Athletics

Cambridge, Mass, January 2O.--A sug-
 gestion that it might be well for colleges
 to agree to limit the expenditures for eduippng the athletic teams that repre- sent them in Intercollegiate competitions
 was made in the annual report of the
 Harvard athletic committee today. Dean LeBaron R. Briggs, who wrote the report as committee chairman, said he was far from denying that the enormous popu- larity and unpleasant publicity of college athletics have led to excessive expendi- lures.
 It was pointed out the committee in providing athletic facilities for some 2,000 students has available as it's only con- siderable source of income the sale of tickets for football games, and Dean Briggs added:
 However much we may wish for a time when none but members of the university shall be admitted to the games on university grounds and no charges be made for their admission it is obvious that if the income from foot ball were not exceedingly large not merely the teams but the students gen. erally and the treasury of the university would suffer. The large expenditure for football is good business; the unpleasant | thought is in it's business at all" Remark;ng that to some persons the thought of sending students across the continent to play football is disgusting the chairman mentioned several of the factors that induced the committee to allow the Crimson eleven to go to Pasa- dena. Cal, year ago to play the Uni- versity of Oregon.
 The committee was influenced alone" he said, ''by the opportunity of showing that Harvard students are not such af- fected weddings as many persons in the west have been taught to think them, but simple and courageous youth.'

G. c. Sage of New York, president of the club. The dog was handled by J. A. Holliway of Gaston- burg, Ala. Ben handled the courses much better than Gleam and, while the latter found more birds, his work was far from the finished variety and in a championship stake dog must be perfect.
 Shores Ben handled what few birds he found very we'll but at the end of three hours the judges were still not satisfied and called for the pointer, Fer ris Jake, owned by C. E. Griffith of Yale Okla, and handled by M R. Prtchett of Calhoun, Ala. This dog had a good chance to wrest the honors from the setter, but failed in finding and handling birds. his two bevy findings being inter spersed with several false points, After the pointers developments the judges de- cded the stake in favor of Shores Ben, who is now the free-for-all champion of
