MUCH USE FOR swEEpERs.
Mild Winter Makes Use of Sprinkle,
n Possible

The present winter has been so mild
What street sprinklers and street sweep
er,s have been used every day by the
city street department until today, ac-
cording to Frank Snyder, superintend-
el1t of streets. Usually it becomes so
cold that it is impossible to use street
sprinklers after late fall, and usually
the streets are so covered with snow
and ice by December that street sweep
ing is impossible, Snyder said.
Today the street department found
1T difficult to remove the snow from
the downtown pavements because of
the weight of the snow and the streets
were partly flushed with water to clear
the pavements.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-05

rival in Birmingham he has been with the Birmingham News. But now the fiction bug has him in it's grasp and he is making use of his experiences in various sections of New York, Montana, Florida and Mis- sissippi in the days before Brming- ham claimed him.
 Humor is Petes 1ine-humor with more or less satirical twist. O. Henry it might be added, is his idea of the last word in humor and the general art of the short story.
 Pete IS still wondering where the idea for his first story came from. It is called "A Kick at the End" and was sold to the Metropolitan maga- zine He has seen few burros out side of the motion pictures and so far as he knows, has never met one on friendly terms, so to speak. Yet a burro is the principal character of this story, which is golf yarn.
 "A Kick at the End" tells of a golfer who planes his caddy for all lis faults. A business trip to Mex ico brings about the accidental meet ing between the golfer and the burro, Carmen. Another accident discloses the fact that Carmen Is a natural caddie, so home With the golfer goes Carmen. There she proves the ulti- mate in caddies until the golfer in- Jures her too-sensitiVe soul with harsh words of criticism. She kicks him for goal and a golf cup at a crucial stage in big match.
 The manuscript of this story un- derwent an experience almost as un- usual as the story itself. On Decem- Der IF, 1920, it was sent to the Metropolitan Magazine. On February l2, 1921, having heard nothing from the story, Pete wrote the editor and was informed that this manuscript was in a bag which was stolen by thieves making roundup of Christ mas mail The author immediately got out his carbon copy, made a suit able copy for the purpose and sent IL on its way. On March Il the accept ance arrived, and the story was on the newsstands May 19.
 And as this Is an unusual story, an unusual experience. it is only right tlat the entire matter should be han dled in an unusual manner, and that the first should come last. There fore, Peterson Marzoni was born Tn Pensacola, Fla, was educated in pri- vate and public schools, Florida As- gle, Pensacola Classical and Naval n academy, from which seats of learn ing ho gathered tho information that Birmingham is the greatest city In

Oucane!
 He had thought then that young | Danby was about to murder him, and had beat quick retreat,
 So the honors were about equally | divided
 As for the secretary, that young | man made an excuse to go out to the | park for air and exercise It was half past eight o'clock, and work was finished for the day.
 It was close and sultry evening, | but small breeze blowing in the park refreshed him. (Oh, how dare that bounder say such things of Ma talie Ducane)?
 It was lovely in the park, under the holding trees. On the wide road way, endless carriages and motor- cars went rolling by. It was still daylight, and the scene was gay and animated.
 He found vacant bench and sanN down on the hard seat, leisurely sur veying the kaleidoscopic mob.
 Fragrance of flowers was waited to him. Sleepy birds were twittcr- ing overhead. It was an evening made for romance-and he was alone.
 Half an hour slipped away :. an hour.
 The hateful words of Farrel Galt came back to torment him. What was It he had said? Natalie Ducane had run away from home because she had got into trouble that might cas- fly put her within the power of the law. Natalie guilty of some criminal offense Impossible,
 He had nearly kicked the slander- ous ,Galt down the eight steps lead ing from Mir. Ducane's town mansion.
 Yet the words ranked. try as he would to dismiss them from his mind.
 Dear Natalie. A thousand littls charming ways of hers rose to his memory. The small, piquant face. framed in a cloud of dusky hair, the curly tendriIs of which reminded hiin of some bewitching flower-how fas- cinating,
