Hemus from New York for her pupils and friends His programme for the evening brought forth interpreta- ltions of songs such as have seldom been heard in this city.
 His diction was perfect and his ability to adjust himself to the proper mood for each song was remarkable. Was it the religious fervor of the Dvorak Bible song, the sweet.sss of Rubenstein's "Good-night," or the bril- liant operatic lit of the Bizet number, the transformation was made without effort.
 MT. Hemus pleased with rendition of songs in English which were original ly planned for other tongues. His ex- cellent diction and phrasing brought forth a smoothness of sound, which could not be improved upon.
 Miss Craven, his accompanist, fur nished background to the charming song. Rain" dedicated to MT. Hemus, " which deserved commendation. One could visualize the raindrops as the song progressed. The song in effect is really piano solo with a vocal obligato.

 This" said MT. Ramsay yesterday "a according 10 advice from Herbert Hco~er, national chairman, will be the largest per capita contribution for the entire south.'
 The most gratifying feature Of this whole campaign, according to those who have kept in close touch with it. is the widespread nature of the re- sponses made. The contributions have come from every county and virtually every hamlet in the state, indicating in decisive manner the generosity of Ala bama's people when q cause of this character gives them opportunity to show their interest.

PLANS ID PAVE FAST AND WEST HIGHWAY
Joint Board to Make Report on Roadway Through to
 Vivian

Feasibility of a plan of joint action by the board of revenue and the city commission in regard to paving the east and west highway through Vivian will be the subject of a report to be made to the two bodies, probably today, by the committee appointed Tuesday to look into the matter. This committee is composed of Thomas Huey, Claude Rogers, II. P.~Burruss and Julian Ken drick.
 The committee with the exception of MT. Burruss, met yesterday morning and considered the proposition of con- structing the road as a joint city and county project MT. Burruss was busy with the other commissions looking al some prospective park property on the Southside, when the committee sat.
 Preliminary plans for -the roadway have been drawn by the two engineers, who have devoted much of their time since Tuesday to the project. Many dif- ficulties are attendant to the construc- tion of the paving, they say and it will be matter of some litle time be- fore operations can commence.
 How to obtain cooperation from the Birmingh ham Railway, Light and Power company in paving the portion of the highway which lies along their tracks is known to be one problem facing the road builders. Under the federal re- ceivership, the company has done little toward paying it's share of street im- provement work. The city has purpose ly avoided paving of any street on which tracks of the street railway lie.
 Possibilities were considered strong at the city hall yesterday afternoon for the presentation of the plan to the two governing bodies today. The board of revenue meets this morning in regular session. and it is thought likely the commission would be invited to meet with the board this afternoon.

. Recommendation to the county sion for the construction of new e part of civic center around Woodrow tions offered by Robert Jemison, Jr.i Estate board at its meeting yesterday
 MT Jemison, in his resolution, stressed the point that immediate drawing of plans for the new structures was not necessary. On the contrary, he declared full consideration should be given to the project, with about 12 months for for= mutation of plans for the buildings.
 Better sites could be obtained and nice sum realized toward the construc- tion of new buildings by the sale of the present locations. he pointed out. In addition to the insanitary courthouse which he declared was receiving de- served condemnations every side, would be done away with. The property adjacent to both sites would be greatly enhanced in value. with business enter prices located where the courthouse ana city hall now stand.
 Barriers to the development of the cen tral business district would be removed

 Yes" I answered.

 Dickerman was in Mexico in the interest of American capitalists, and having heard of him during my stay in the southern republic I did as directed. The American consul was surprised at my report, but he agreed to help me, and with guard from the capitol we over powered Lopez at his home and made him prisoner. rescuing the American girl who was held by the rebel chieftain
 Miss Dickerman assured me she was very grateful for my efforts in rescuing her from Lopez and gave me her address in Boston.

CHECKING A NEW PEST

A new pest has broken out-the tele- phone salesman. Of course he has flourished to a small extent for some time, but lately there has been an epi- Idemic and the business man can never answer his telephone without the dread that he will hear: Cant interest you in this oil stock which is bound to double, triple or quadruple it's value in few weeks?" He tells you that he is letting just a few friends in on the deal. His friends are bounded only by the number of names in the telephone book.
 Still another line has been opened up and not few were surprised to get this conversation when answering the tele- phone: I'm MT. So-and sos secretary and he wished me to call you today to find out if you were interested in life insurance" There is very little reason to comment on this latest venture, as the comments by the persons called were said to be not only discouraging. g. but somewhat caustic. No doubt the insurance agent had dreams of the so- licited party telling the secretary that he was just itching to take out a $108,- 900 policy and would she mind issuing one for him. But if he had that dream he hasn't got it now
 It is exceedingly lucky that assault and battery cannot be committed over the telephone. but that alone is not sufficient reason why the impossible should be provoked. A safe rule to follow in telephone solicitations would be not to attempt to start any business which runs into more than a few dol- lars Of course the telephone is neces- sary in the ordinary course of business, but sa1esmanship is still best accomp- lished through direct and personal con- tact-From the Buffeln Express.
