Shopping for Wife

l future, judging by the very recent past"
 Shopping for Wife Looking over at the stocking coun- ter this morning" said Sol Caheen, T saw a male party buying silk hosiery in the most matter-of-fact style. He went straight about his business, nam ling the size, the color and the quality. He knows me well. Catching sight of me he nodded in the usual way as he would on any other occasion. The stock tngs were wrapped up, he paid for them and went his way looking as sober as a judge. He did not bat as much as one eyelash during the entire proceeding.
 He is married man and was shop ping for his wife, as per wife's instruc- tions. He did not say so, but know it. Storekeepers are some psychologists" 1 "Captious Criticism "Captious criticism of the decision of the Alabama supreme court which has been going the rounds since the decision regarding the $25,o0o,ooo road bond election was made public, is it seems to me, entirely uncalled for" isaid Fred G. Moore city attorney. Rather than involving a mere tech nicality, as many of the critioizers have said, tlfe decision involves fundamen- tai principle, since there would be little necessity for having constitution if it is not going to be followed
 The constitution sets out clearly how the election should be held the legisla- ture chose to disregard it, therefore the election was declared illegal, and justly so."
 | Street Signs I John Prowell, dressed in his little overalls, did practically all of the work connected with the placing of the street signs recently put up by the Community club on the downtown streets of Birmingham" said Edmund Armes, president of the club.
 John was chairman of the commit tee, and he worked like a Trojan to get the signs up. People coming to ' Birmingham from other cities can no longer say strangers have difficulty in finding their way about the down. town section. The signs have reme- died that defect.-
 | Saw Bright Side l T am no weather prophet" said Phil Phillips, but my roommate is. Satur- day morning, about 6 o'clock, it looked to me as if 1t had set in for a steady all-day rain. The clouds were low and threatening. The thunder was rolling, and the lightning flashing, and yet he was not disturbed, but old saying. Rain before 7, shine be- fore H.
 T felt like kicking him out of bed for being so unconcerned, and yet he was true prophet. He taught me that it was best to look on the bright side of things. and made me believe more than ever in the comforting thought that behind the cloud the sun Is still shining"
 III Directed Ingenuity.
 And still the stills come in," re- marked W. D. Eubank. deputy prohi- bition officer.
 "A man could learn good lesson in the development of the manufacture of homemade stills if he had the op- portunity to observe tho ones va come in contact with in our. work. they are made of all the materials con ceivable. and some arc about the Last word mechanically and every other way. l Tt is a shame that men should be- come so proficient in this sort of thing when they might be doing something useful for the country and community with the proper use of their intelli- gence and ability"
 I A Coed Cause
 ,"The citizens of old Birmingham can certainly be proud Of their recor4 in the eastern relief drive" said How ard Curry.
 We have been going along about the way we always go with these things, and am certainly glad to see the splendid support the people of the country at large are giving these little ones
 T fought in France, and saw some of the devastation the Germans brought over innocent peoples. and these little children ate suffering now because the Huns killed off their fathers, and there arc no men left to till the soil I'd give the shirt off my back. and 60 would . lot of other A. E. F. men that know Runs for Senate l Women in Mississippi are already beginning to go after high offices" declared W B. Stribbling. attorney of Columbus. Miss. Miss Bessie Carney of Columbus is la candidate for United Statss senator at the election this fall. She will have las her opponents Senator J. K. yarda- nan and exsGov. ThetdoTe Btlbo,~
