ADJUSTMENTS By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE
"LIGHTNIN" HERE THREE
 DAYS AT JEFFERSON

In dainty contrast with Bill Jones, the beloved vagabond and unkempt story teller in "Lightnin,'" is his adopted daughter, Mildred Buckley. A trim and pretty thoroughbred Is she, loving the old man despite his faults and over locking his frailties with the devotion Of pure filial affection. Her rather tempes- tuous courtship with John Marvin, a. young lawyer and woodsman, invests the play with strain of golden romance quite worthy of it's Nevada setting.
 In the ''Lightnin'" company, to be seen at the Jefferson for three days be- ginning Thursday, February 8. with a special matinee Saturday, with Milton Nobles in the title role, the part of Mil dred Buckley will be played by Nydia Westman. who is regarded by Producer Johr Golden as genuine find Miss Westman is a schoolgirl type-young, titian-haired and radiantly beautifui.
 Miss Westman is a member of the we'll known family of that name, which for many years toured in "big tirne' vaude- vile in repertoire of one-act plays writ ten by the mother, Lily Wren Westman.

ans party or separate political party. Their advice to women is "enroll in the political party of your choice, and. having enrolled, to get behind needed reforms and urge adoption in the party platform and their enact- ment into laws.
 In connection with this part of the plan of action, the board of directors points out the results of it's personal presentation of definite blanks in which women were interested, to the conven- tions of the two major parties. Many of these blanks, either in principle or in substance, were incorporated in both platforms and the programme suggested was heralded by social work CTS as the greatest welfare programme the. country had seen. The league is urging Congress to enact into laws such bills as will satisfy the principles involved in those suggested blanks. The first measure for which women are seriously asking, after their enfran- chisement is the Sheppard d-Towner bill which seeks to give public protection to maternity and infancy.
 TEACH CITIZENSHIP
 Its first interest is to form citizen ship schools and classes so women may become acquainted with the processes of government and informed as to the rights and duties of citizenship. It hopes to make agitation for this kind of instruction so great that public sentiment will demand such instruc- tion as a part of the public school system.
 Eight standing committees, headed by experts in the committees partic- ular field, investigate and collect data concerning existing needs and from this data make recommendations for the work of the league. Their work and the field covered by them will be discussed in detail at the Atlanta con- ference. The committees include the subjects of child welfare, women in industry, social hygiene, food supply and demand, American citizenship. legal status of women, election laws and methods. research and data de- 1artment.

benefit of the Downing institute at Brewton:
 The great singer was in the best of form. Her voice was as fresh as it was in other years when she sang here. Her vocalization is so perfect that if she were to appear in recital at the age of 70 or even 80 her appeal to the music lovers would still be supreme.
 Several months ago, when scholarly musicians here were discussing the meaning of temperament and express ing surprise that the term, so much in vogue now, was not defined academic ally in the dictionaries or encyclo- pedias not even in Groves, a promi- nent member of the fraternity said: Temperament? I cannot express the meaning in words, but the nearest I can come to definition is in the one word, Schumann Heink. She is music through and through. She sings classic arias and simple lullabies with equal grace and beauty. In this superb artist we certainly have the embodiment of the word temperament And other discriminating persons will doubtless agree with the musician quoted"
 Madame Heink will sing here Mon day night in a recital at the Jefferson theatre.

SKATING ON STREETS
 DANGEROUS PRACTICE

''The practice of children in skating down in the center of a paved street and also in catching hold of the rear end of wagon or ar automobile and skating. should be broken up," says pr. B. D. Sibley. My little daughter, Carolyn. only yesterday ran a narrow escape from being killed while skat- ing down the street.
 ''She was holding on to the rear end of another automobile and skating and when she turned loose and started for the sidewalk she was struck by an auto following behind. She was not hurt, however, as the driver was run ming very slow. He was kind enough. too to bring my little daughter home and only hope that the scare she had will be great enough to keep her from skating on the streets in the future.
 Tt looks easy until they are hurt and then it is too late to stop. Parents should thiSS of this and warn their children of the danger for nearly every time l go out on call see the streets filled with children and the automo- piles lodging around them in a man ner that makes me shudder.

PUP IN MARBLES R00M' OUTFIT. OF LAUGHTER AT THE JEFFERSON

up In Mabers Room" presented last night at the Jefferson theatre kept the audience laughing from start to finish. There is plenty of action in the spritely comedy, and not for moment does the merriment flag Notwithstanding the fact that the comedy has been presented here before, the large audience last night was very responsive to humorous appeal of the production. The cast was all that could be desired
 The whole play hangs on the ragged edge of a chemise, so to speak. The audience watched the adventures of that little rose pink garment through two hours of it's narrowing experiences when 1t finally came to light and brought with 1t the untangled ribbons oe the plot Then everybody lived hap oily ever afterward.
 Honestly, there was nearly as much lingerie in that play as there is in first-class musical comedy, and lot more talk about it than one would find anywhere except the ready-to-wear de- partment of dry goods store.
 Garry Ainsworth deserved everything tl,at happened to him because he nan his name embroidered on pink crepe ds chine chemise and sent It to wldow. Being widow she thought IT would be funny to show 1t to his wife,
  was a good man and that being very rare state for a man made Garry wish to preserve it.
 He said he did not want to come down off his pedestal; he wanted his wife to think of him as perfect always. Mapel cortended that if she thought or nlm as perfect she would not think of him a. all, which sounded logical from some points of view, but did not please his wife, Geraldine.
 Geraldine was easily shocked and sus- p,cious of every minute that her darling Garry spent out of her sight. Every body knows that kind of woman.
 Alicia Iarchmont who was the busy body friend and knew about everybody business, in trying to flirt with Jimmy to make his wife a tiny bit jealous, finos out quite accidentally about the little pink evidence"
 By the time she has reached Gerai- dine with the story Garry has all un- known to himself assumed the dignitfes of parenthood in Alicia's busy magma tion In the end when the little pinK evidence comes to light Geraldine Is so relieved to learn that 1t is cnem1se hat she forgets to be shocked.
 up in Mabels Room will be again presented today. matinee this afternoon and performance tonight.

that same trouble once before when the
 New York Chamber Music club played
 here. However, this in it's way Is also descriptive of the kind of music Grain ger played, though there were some most exquisite selections that were purely classical and very beautiful. Among
 them the best were Litz's Hungarian
 Rhapsody and 'Toccata in Fugue.' Perhaps the artists Australian na- tionality accounts for his style of oo- jective and obvious music, and tha. it the general type, but among some of the classics mentioned he played one that was very subjective, I thought. It was Chopin's Study in Minor It showed a very different side of his nature. Some people think of Glainger as always jig ging, but I think that his very fame has come in the perfection of something diff ferent. All of his music is of the breezy,
 healty, out-of-doors type. It is strictly enjoyable as the music of Percy Grain ger, world-famous player of that par ticular music, and not to be compared Above all, it is refreshing to see per son with the courage of his convictions. and though he is perhaps not deep and subjective and inclines to the elabcrat. ing of the obvious and simple in his own way, he is beyond dispute a great artist.
 Now, as for the personal Percy Grain- ger, my impression was thlck nedn oA hair. growing in bushy style all over his head. His hair seems to suit his music perfectly. As have said he has some few mannerisms, spontaneous and otherwise. The most noticeable thing to everybody who saw him was that he simply would not smile. He even played Turkey in the Straw with utter serious ness and bowed to his encores unsmil- ingly, eyes fixed up toward the gallery. I believe that he takes his profession very seriously.
 "The audience at the recital packed the house, as is usually the case at Music Study club recitals. They seemed very appreciative of the artist and his rendi- tions and encored him number or times, but I don't know whether they took nun for just what he represents in art or nou The tapping on the floor was certalnly sign of enjoyment, but don't Know about the art"

THE GIRL WITH THE
 THOUSAND EYES"-LYRIC

Leona La Mar, called "The Girl With the Thousand Eyes" is the principal attraction at the Lyric today. Miss La Mar is billed as the headliner, but even if this distinction had not been accorded her, the popularity she has won while in Birmingham would have made her the chief attraction. Miss La Mar is described as one who "sees all. knows all, tells all," and she is amazing her audiences.
 Four other acts on the Keith pro- gramme for today embrace Lambs Manikins. Tiny Stars From Toyland:" Dave Adams and Vera Thomas in 'In and Out of Society,"" Harry Breen singing comedian and rapid-fire song writer. and the Great Kokan company, described as Wonder Workers From Cherry Blossom Land"

P|G IRON MARKET
 ON SOUND BASIS
Birmingham District Holding Own in Market-Stocks of
 Country Are Low

The pig iron producers of the country are not pessimistic," said John w. Por- ter, general sales manager of the Ala bama company, who is just back from the meeting of the American Iron asso- ciation held in Pittsburg.
 Going over the situation it was brought out that total stocks of pig iroIt in the entire country are not over half million tons, while the average consump- ton, when everything is going all right, is about three million tons per month. According to that the supply now on hand would last busy iron trade just about six days.
 Blast furnaces are not making iron for the fun of the thing, and merchant stacks have banked or blown out until the market does recover. When the buy CTS do really sense their needs and be- gin ral buying movement they are going to find very little to drawn on. That of itself tends to strengthen the iron market.
 "The Birmingham district has held its own with the best of them and we ex- pect to have our full share of the busi- ness when consumers re-enter for large tonnages. For the time being there is a very considerable purchase of small ton nages for prompt shipment at $So, Bir- 1r.ingham base, but none of the very large buyers has as yet asked for bids on real  tonnage"
 The leading interest and the largest foundry producer are still quoting sS. No business is being booked at that fig ure, but some iron interests do not ap- pear to think it advisable to keep lower ing a market with no real business in sight They seem to take the position that this has tendency to estop buying as much as to start it, on the theory that no one is in hurry to take on iron in a soft market.
 The Sloss-Sheffield, Woodward Iron. Alabama company and Republic Iron and Steel are operating one stack each, these being the only merchant furnaces in op- eration The T. c. I. is operating nlhe' five at Ensley and one at Alice, on basic for steel-making making purposes; two on foundry at Bessemer and one Basse- mer stack on ferro-manganese for US own consumption. Heavy shipments ol finished steel products move monthly from the big mill at Birmin gham to MO- bile and New Orleans for export.

C.. director of the Third region of the National league, is inviting the women of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to meet together on these dates to dis cuss their immediate local civic prob lems which have come to them with the privileges of the ballot and also to hear of the work which the Ma tional league is accomplishing along the lines of citizenship and Legislation.
 The conference will bring to Atlanta the members of the national board of directors, all of whom are expected to take prominent part in the programme. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman of the organization, will come directly from the national headquarters in Washington where she has been su- pervising the congressional work, of the league. and will bring the south ern women first-hand information of the status of that work.

The programme will include discussion of practically every phase of work which the league has taken up.

 The establishment of a branch organ ization in every state in the union and an approximate membership of some 0.000 voters are results of the leagues efforts
 WHAT IT IS
 The organization, say its officers, is national association of women who wish not merely to vote. but to use their vote to the best advantage Any woman Interested in having her vote count for the public good" may be a member.
 There are two purposes which the league aims to accomplish--to foster education in citizenship and to promote improved Legislation Its programme is divided into two parts, educational and legislative.
 However, the women are just as emphatic in stating that they are not planning to carry out their legislative programme either by forming wom-

MARCUS SHOW AT
 JEFFERSON NEXT WEEK

Above all the Marcus Show of 1920, which comes to the Jefferson theatre for two days, beginning February 1, is a lSeleidoscopic carnival of dance While the jazzy, evolutions, now so popular, predominates there is not a form of dance endeavor that is not represented rs this whirlwind of motion.
 There are so many good things to be seen and heard in the Marcus Show of 1920 that they must be dished out in homeopathic dose lest it take all night for it's unfolding. There arc g scenes and q musical numbers. The result is that here we have three hours of 100 per cent entertainment with no superfluous do- ings or tiresome waits.

Local Musician Cites His
 Impressions Of Grainger
By EsTELLE BErHEA HALE

Whatever else Percy Grainger, the fa- nous Australian pianist is, he is evident ly a person and an artist who creats a distinct and individual impression. Fer dinand Dunkley, a prominent Birming- ham musician and qualified judge of musical things, heard Percy Grainger with number of impressions, which he consented to give in an interview yes terday. Chief among these was that Mir Grainger was most noticeably an indi- vidualist.
 MT. Grainger is a pianist not open to comparison with the general pianist. He is artist that must be taken just for what he is and enjoyed as such. His mannerisms are his own, as his choice of folk-song as speciality, and the gen eral type of his renditions. I think that many of MT. Grainger's mannerisms are spontaneous, though undoubtedly some have been worked up. I particularly mo- ticed one way of waving a hand about in backward semicircle before coming down on the notes that was perhaps a little studied His selection of such pieces as Turkey in the Straw Gum suckers and In a Nutshell for his trained professional treatment gives an idea of the mans whole-souled individ- Ialism.
 MUSICAL DIRECTIONS
 T know no better way to describe the pianist's actual playing than to give some of the musical directions that he has written through his sheets of compo- sitions. They go this way: On one line will be this direction, Lots of pep then his own mixture of words in this, 'loudenlots,' and ''hammeringly,' healthy and somewhat fierce 'go,' ferce,' riot ously,' and so on. That describes MT. Graingers music better than I can. Right here I would like to mention ths tendency. or more than tendency, of the audience, highly cultured as it was, to tap their feet. It was so evident at one time that it took slight hiss to stop It. This was compliment to the iilt of tho music, but not to the performer as famous artist. There were some who pos sibly did not realize this, as the music was most compellingly Hitting, but IL should be remembered that the per- forrnance was that of an artist. We had
