Chattanooga had a lot of furry over building a courthouse and it looked as if the matter never could be settled until the county board put the money and the project In the hands of a business mems committee and told them to go ahead and build 1t. The result was a magnificent courthouse, and a satisfied people.
 No Friction
 The county sewer was built by a commission of non -salaried Birming- ham business men and there was not a breath of scandal, nor was there friction or pickering. The auditorium matter could be handled in the same manner.
 Personally believe the site chosen the wrong one. The estimated cost of the auditorium Is excessive. I be- lieve we can get all the auditorium we need with all the seating and ex- hibition capacity required for $3oo.- 900. Indianapolis. city of twice Birmingham's size, has built an au

 Primary Purpose
 Primarily an auditorium for the purpose of providing a roomy cov- cred structure, where throngs of peo- pie may assemble to see. hear and talk, to hold expositions and exhibi- tions which ordinary theatres cannot accommodate. We can well afford to do without a few architectural flour ishes if needs be, provided the audi torlum serves it's main purpose. which Is to be a meeting house capable of accommodating the community.

More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during

The reason is this: Incasing and confning
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction

HELD PRISONER
FOR IS YEARS
Daughter Gagged by Mother in
Darkened Room Without
Light or Air.
BUT ONE PERSON KNEW
When Found by Humane officer Girl
Was Wearing chiId's Bonnet and
ChiId's Clothing-Has the
Mentality of Child.

Ballston, N. Y.-There may be a
mystery to unravel in connection with
the strange case Of Miss Jennie Hall,
who for 16 years was held prisoner
by her mother, Mrs. Catherine Hall,
and another daughter, in a tumble
down shack near Round Lake, short
distance from Ballston, Saratoga cOun-
! ty, New York.
During all of this period Jennie
never saw the light Of day except as
it may have slightly filtered through
heavily planked window. Never ex-
cept twice did she see another human
being except her mother and her sis
ter. Never in the 16 years until hu-
name officer from Saratoga entered
her dark prison the other day did
she see a man, and at sight of the un-
usual spectacle she tainted.
Only One Neighbor Knew.
Only one neighbor knew that such
being as she existed, and it was this
neighbor who finally brought the mat
ter to the attention of the Saratoga
County Humane society, whose super
intendent, William Hennessy, investi-
gated and led the affrighted woman
who is thirty-one years old, away from
her prison. Other neighbors consid-
cred the Hall family-mother and
daughter, as queer" and the shack
in which they lived was avoided

When found by the humane officer she

years ago-was for brief time an in
mate of the State Hospital for the In
sane at Utica. When she returned to
her home she vanished from sight. to
live the intervening years up to the
present buried in living prison.
The mentality of the mother and
the other daughter is now being in
quired into and action in the case Of
Jennie will be taken accordingly.

thing has not as yet been discovered.
1t is believed that somewhere on the
place there is a buried treasure chest
and that In it there is missing in
heritance of $4,000 left to the two
daughters of Mrs. Hall.
The story is that some time before
Jennie's commitment to the Utica
hospital she and her sister fell heir to
$1,000 apiece left by their grand
father, who had just died. 1t is GER
tain the money was not used about
the old farmhouse, which stands in a
rotting condition, hidden amid a dense
foliage of trees. The inference is
that the money was hidden and that
the key holds the secret of the treas

is hidden, may be known when the
